Annnnnnnddd there is an issue! 
Iām on the way to pick up my kids this evening in the Mustang. When I get out onto a main road, I give it a good old 1-2 flogging. I stopped into the gas station shortly there after to grab a drink in the car just loses all power and starts running like shit. I stopped the car get out and check everything because I donāt know whatās going on. Everything underneath looks good, nothing is off in the engine bay, but the car is struggling at idle. I get back in throw the car in the gear and it barely wants to move, itās just sputtering. At this point, Iām not sure if I blew the motor or somehow screwed up the clutch where itās still engaged. I did get a host of alert messages from my Ford app and one of them says thereās an issue with the throttle body amongst other things. I shut off the car and contemplate my next move for a few minutes. Not wanting to tow this thing I fire it back up just to see if itās a weird issue with the throttlebody. Sure enough the car is running normal like nothing ever happened, but I do have a check engine light on. Stupid fucking throttlebody, hopefully did it fry anything, Iām not sure what else it could be, but Iām leaning towards that. I guess the good thing is it wasnāt something that I did wrong when I was putting all this shit on.

Limp mode due to bouncing it off the rev limiter or did you not get on it that hard?

After looking on the Mustang forum, it was for sure limp mode. I didnāt bounce off the rev limiter though. Iām betting itās the throttlebody because Iāve never encountered this before.

Could your ride height shit need a simple recalibration due to the lowering? TB faulting as a result of those things?

Itās a possibility, but the car really isnāt any lower than it was with the other springs. A lot of guys theyāre having this issue on the GEN 2 and GEN 3 Mustangs say itās usually related to changes with the air intake system whether it be throttle bodies or superchargers, etc..

Well I am salty because Ford canāt get their shit together. I ordered their spring and sway bar kit combo on special directly from Ford back around Black Friday. My CC kept getting charged and then credited. I ordered a cargo net for the trunk as well and when that was ready for pick up at the...

Sent the throttle body back to Soler Engineering on Monday and they have already reworked it, I will have it back on Saturday. While waiting I changed out the oil for the season and decided to bump up the stiffness on the front sway bar to the 2nd stiffest setting, it was at the third stiffest.
Now I just need the weather to not be a shit show!

Detail the Du Hast since you're so bored and not sucking dick.Figured I would make the distinction on the non-homo stuff considering how little it would take for some here to suck a dick.
