95cobby, I'm constantly being apologetic and thankful to all who've taken time out of their day to help out a guy they don't even know - I'm very sincere whenever I do so. I'm just updating any car-related stuff as they happen. I've took most of the advice from you guys, from checking for...

UPDATE This will annoy you guys; it annoyed the hell out of me, atleast. Ready? Apparently a 30-year in the business mechanic lives atop my level in the condo, so I politely asked him to check out the situation. Explained the situation, yadi yadi bla bla bla. He checked for leaks. None...

This is pretty annoying. Leaving my car at the mechanic all day, tomorrow.

Dubster99, thank you. My issue might not be the tune, then. Also, I scanned my car with the SCTX4: no codes found (I forget the exact verbiage) As I JUST parked my car (and as I was parking it), I smelled some unusual odor coming from the engine(or just around the front of the car). All...

Got ya. Now I know. Thanks for the tip - will update

Have not scanned w the sct4. Will do so tonight. have not datalogged, as bama has not requested it YET. Still waiting on response from bama.

I remember saying the car shakes at idle - A LOT(pretty scary) - when I put the car back to stock tune. But this is expected, as the car has the JLT intake mod, which operates correctly only with an tune. Black smoke does not come out from the exhaust. I'm going to schedule an appointment...

Z_Rocks, when the car shakes? What do you mean? It doesn't shake. It only shakes when I return the tune back to STOCK. I've done this once just to see if the transferring of data worked with the SCTX4. Regarding the car running rich, a mechanic told me that could be a possibility. But I...

Thanks, Z_Rocks. You mean the MAF right? I actually checked it and all looked good. Made sure it was functioning as well, with these steps: unplugged sensor, started car. idle crazy. plugged sensor back in, started car. back to normal. p.s. My VAC gauge (performance pack) is at a steady 20...

Dubster99, if you'd be so kind, could you update me via PM or post in this thread about how your car feels after your JLT/BAMA, tomorrow?

Dubster99, I have nothing against BAMA's products or customer service. I really want to believe the tune is not the issue here, which I am 99% sure. I mean, how could it be? Problem came about before the tune. If there IS, IN FACT, a problem with MY specific tune, it's not that it gave my...

Thanks, Need4Speed15 for your take on this. I will post here what Bama emails me back with, same day of when I receive a response. I will TAKE my stock intake/sct device to the dealer as well, and advise them of all the mods I've done to the car and issues in order. If they see that having...

Need4Speed15, Yea, exactly as I expected. So, fair to say that the tune works, even with my having provided the wrong PCM? Or do I wait for bama's response? Emailed a rep few minutes ago. Regarding taking my car to the dealership - I want to take my car in AS IS, with all my aftermarket...

I just put the tune back to stock, with all my other mods on just for the heck of it, and to see if there would be a difference with/without tune. Car's in neutral, e-brake on, start car. Entire car becomes shaky. You can hear the intake sucking in air...maybe twice a second: SWOOSH SWOOSH...

Need4Speed15, I ordered the X4 with the tune, together. Received in the mail the JLT intake and tuning device - device was preloaded with the tune to accommodate the modifications I have. I did not take it back to the shop that did the install - closed on weekends. And yes, I'm thinking of...

Even in the Americanmuscle website (I'm looking at it right now) I quote "Usually 3 letters and 1 number" for 1996 models and up. Then it shows a photo example: DWW5. These are the largest characters in the pcm sticker, and is located right next to "FoMoCo" writing. This is why I thought my...

QUOTE FROM AMERICANMUSCLECOM: "Knowing your Mustang Computer Code is crucial when it comes time to get a new tune. Whenever you want to have custom tunes created, your specific computer code will provide Tuning Specialists with the mapping of your ECU, showing them tables and graphs that are...

**********UPDATE********** Went to 3 different shops yesterday, Saturday - 1 exhaust shop and 2 mechanic shops. Exhaust shop: Said no leaks in any of my vaccum lines. Everything already bolted on tightly. Possible reason for bad throttle response: exhaust piping too large (mentioned...

Going to an exhaust shop "Atlantic Muffler" in the Los Angeles area after a quick shower. Just going to get a few opinions and possible diagnoses in person. If anyone's in the LOS ANGELES AREA and want to hang out, have questions, would like to test drive my car, text me for questions, etc...

Mods in order: 1. Bone stock = everything good. throttle response good. 2. springs / stainless works catback, same day = bad throttle response 3. 2 weeks(ish) later, intake/bama tune = same bad throttle response 4. ignored it for a while 5. got annoying so posted in forums. Poor mpg/throttle...
