Check engine light with rough idle

[Moogatwo]

I have the car back. The CEL and rough idle were caused by a pushed out pin. The exact pin was C1451. It appears to be running perfectly normal now.

Crazy...You’re the second on the forum to have a pin related issue in the past couple of weeks. Congrats on the simple fix, here’s to it not happening again :cheers:

Pushed out pin where ? Which cable or harness?

The repair invoice says it was the engine module. The CELs were P0010 and P0300. Trying to embedd the actual invoice in the post, but for the life of me cannot remember how to do that!

I looked at the white with black roof GT350 they had, but they wouldn't budge. I live about 1 minute from Arlington Heights Ford....they couldn't get me one. As for service....I think I'm going try them for my first oil change.

Are they still doing outrageous ADMs? They had them listed at MSRP online. Their service department is really good.

The Guido family from Arlington Heights Ford are personal friends. Good people.

I took the car out at lunch. Did a few pulls once it was up to operating temp (took forever at 50 degrees!). It was pulling strong with no weird hiccups or noises, so I think all is well again.

I've never gone near the passenger side electronics harness, so I guess it was a little lose from the factory? or maybe it shook itself out what with all the vibrations this car puts off?
