Sounds like you need a new dealer.

Find yourself a dealer that specializes in Ford Hi Perf (SVT) cars and you will get some help!! :(

As far as staying with OEM programming you WILL NOT be satisfied and aftermarket (SCT) programmer will help a bunch!! Call Dennis or Lidio for a cure!!! :burnout:

Hi,

I agree an SVT dealer would be a better bet. You are under warranty?

You can look them up on ford.com

Don't do that! Are you sure all the coil conections are tight @ each plug?
I just got my shop van out of Smithtown Ford - had loss of power/engine miss & enough back-pressure in the exhaust to blow a line of the exhaust manifold! After a week in the shop they replaced coils and plugs on the #'s 7 & 8 cylinders, two O2 sensors and the entire exhaust from the manifolds back! The exhaust was under waranty - all three cats self destructed from the missfiring plugs!

hey paul, hows it going? great weekend . i guess i'll check for all that before i go. but i gaped them and used a torque wrench to be exact. i will check again

Check the electrical conections - look for any small cracks in the plugs (when I say "plugs", I'm talking about the disconnects and the sparkplug terminal connection) that might compromise the integrity of the conection, ie "loose plug".
Looking forward to "cruise" night!

Ralph - Don't panic. It's probably something minor. All you have to do is locate the right wrench.

Where have you been ???
Don't you browse the net for this stuff ???
Alex is known BIG TIME for his software !!!

www.obd-2.com

When Alex has a GROUP BUY, you HAVE to get in !!!
I got my sofware with the DLC cable for $85 about 4 years ago,
and have enjoyed nothing but FREE UPGRADES and a very informative
application as well.

I plugged my laptop into my Marauder and it PULLS the VIN from the PCM !!!
I've asked Alex if it will pull the ROM ID. I think he is still working on that.
