Also VERY interesting the PCM has been mentioned. As noted in the Motorcraft documentation I linked on page 256: "The microprocessor also generates the Profile Ignition Pickup (PIP) signal, a 50% duty cycle, square wave signal that has a rising edge at 10 deg BTDC for 36-1 systems and 12 deg...
I was using my OBDLink MX+ that I bought off of Amazon with their free app "OBDLink" on my phone. The OBDII reader connects to my phone via Bluetooth! Be sure to install all of the "Enhanced OEM Add-Ons" when prompted to be able to read everything.
The app allowed me to pull, and locally save...
Out of curiosity, is there anything strange in your "Mode $06 " test data?
I was chasing down a "random misfire" in my Dad's 2012 Boss 302 recently and the "Mode $06" test data was extremely helpful in narrowing down what was wrong. Mainly it keeps track of the tests the PCM/ECU runs and will...
Yep! I couldn't agree more with you on that! That's exactly what I chalked it up to. I'm 28 years old, so I was certain he was assuming I was a part of that crowd. I was very polite with the officer, notified him of my conceal carry permit, was talkative, etc. Just a "wrong place, wrong time"...
Phew! That's a lucky encounter there! I have yet to have any kind of luck like that!
Got a criminal court summons from a cop a few months ago for drag racing. It was due to me spinning the tires leaving a gas station parking lot (sharp left turn out of the parking lot with too much throttle...
Good evening everyone! Just wanted to make a post documenting a recent TSB I had done on my Mach 1, in hope someone can use it to fix their vehicle.
This issue occurred with the car on a factory tune, with the odometer reading roughly 20290 miles.
On April 16, 2024 I stopped at a gas station...
My apologies for the late response! I had a few things come up the past two nights!
I did find a flowchart that shows the components for the ambient lighting (MyColor) which is being reset. I'm willing to bet your issue lies within here.
When you set your ambient lighting, it is done through...
I haven't had that issue before, that's quite strange! I've had my car even go into deep sleep mode before and it still retains the "my color" settings, quiet mode startup times, and a few other things. It's never remembered my exhaust modes or previous drive modes before (that's normal...
If you're serious about aero, then I'd heavily consider looking into Verus Engineering's offerings for the GT350. While not 100% tailored to the GT, their aero parts can be fitted to a GT with some modifications. I will eventually buy some aero parts from them for my Mach 1 as well.
Also 777...
On Ford Performance's website for the camber plates, it says "Additional assembly hardware may be required." I wonder if by "assembly" hardware they just mean tools? Ratchet, wrenches, etc.?
Also, the hardware that's shown with the plates on FP's website shows the 6 nuts for locking the camber...
This thread has some good information about aftermarket security screws for the Gurney Flap. Aftermarket Gurney Flap Security Screws Link
I went this route for the long screws for the flap (the ones you use when attaching the flap). I used stainless steel T27 Torx screws, black oxide washers...
My car came with the Cup 2's from the factory and after about 9k miles and the steel belts showing, I went and bought some Conti ECS2's and love them to death! Good grip, nice street manners (compared to the Cup2's), splendid rain performance, and no road noise. Not to mention, the higher...
I know humidity, ambient temp, air quality, altitude, wind, traffic, and about 1000 other things play a role in your MPG. It's normal for it to fluctuate a decent amount.
As for the gurney flap lowering your MPG, that's due to your drag coefficient and downforce increasing due to the gurney...
I daily mine! It's my only car as well! I'm just over 16500 miles.
My splitter has scratches and rock gouges in it too. It doesn't bother me all that much - it's part of daily driving it. I read somewhere on 6G if you apply some heat from a heat gun, you can soften the plastic and smooth out...
Honestly, I like the look of the front flaps on my car, and they're easy to remove. They lower the "rocks-hitting-the-side-of-the-car" noise a lot too.
PPF is a super viable option too, though. Definitely something worth looking into. :like:
Of course! No problem - happy to help!
Yes, the material I used that I purchased from Amazon was extremely easy to cut. A band saw is absolutely not required; a jigsaw, dremel, router, etc. will cut it extremely easily.
As for sanding, that was just for cosmetic purposes on my part. Even...
I can attest to that! 2012 Boss 302 with 110k miles on it! Shifts like butter! :giggle: Joking aside, I agree with that. With miles, everything settles and wears in.
Yep! Agree with this synopsis 100%! :like:
