Ok so I bought a PBD nguage for my 2016 mustang and I’ve been having some issues with the tune . Ive been emailing the tuner back and forth for almost 2 months now trying to figure out the issue.At first he thought it was a possible vacuum leak . I took it to a shop and had them look at it (link to shop inspection https://2un.me/cbch3dw3) and the shop told me the car is in good shape. Now the tuner thinks maybe it doesn’t have stock injectors or somethings up with the O2 sensors.My question is can You tell what kind of injectors the car has without removing them from the car and how to tell if my O2 sensors are bad/ installed incorrectly. The car runs/drive fine on the stock/base file tune but once I load the tune and log it the tuner tells me the car is dumping a lot of fuel . the car was bought used so maybe it has aftermarket injectors or maybe somethings up with the O2 sensors

It cannot have aftermarket injectors if it runs fine on the stock tune. O2 sensors can't really be installed incorrectly, and if they were acting up then the tuner would be able to tell either from the log or scanning for codes.

If the car runs perfectly fine stock, then all components are in good operating order. If the aftermarket tune doesn't run just as good, then to me this sounds like a bad tune and lazy tuner for not wanting to fix it.

You said you bought the car used. Does it have any mods that you know of? It could be that your stock tune is already an aftermarket tune someone else loaded. Do you have a different intake manifold on the car? A common mod is a stock 18+ intake manifold and larger injectors to run e85 on your year of a Mustang.

I doubt its something with your o2's as the log file should show they are reading ok.

If you can confirm you don't have any current mods on the car ask the PBD tech if someone else can take a look at the tune they wrote for you as something is off if its taken 2 months of back and forth emails to get you nowhere. They have better service than that.

I'm gonna check the injectors when I get some free time this week for the intake I'm pretty sure its stock but I don't know the difference between the two

yeah I might just contact palm beach and ask for another tuner to look over the tune

Thank God someone else with this problem I've been back an forth with my 2016 f150 fbo with palm beach dyno I did exactly the same I looked for vacuum leaks an for injector part numbers an even sent it out to a fab shop to go over everything on it. With no success. Any update?
