Gonna snow Monday, does thing have snow tires?

I’ll manage I can open a box with my bare hands.

Have fun at a Saturday morning wedding, Jim.

What bullshit!!!! When I called yesterday they didn’t even tell me about the event! I’m calling on Monday to cancel my alignment appointment because of this. Way to lose a customer URW.

Annnnnnnddd there is an issue! šŸ¤¦šŸ»ā€ā™‚ļø

I’m 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 don’t know what’s 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, it’s just sputtering. At this point, I’m not sure if I blew the motor or somehow screwed up the clutch where it’s still engaged. I did get a host of alert messages from my Ford app and one of them says there’s 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 it’s 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, I’m not sure what else it could be, but I’m leaning towards that. I guess the good thing is it wasn’t something that I did wrong when I was putting all this shit on.

The only other thing I can think that might be messing with the collision assist, etc…. Is my bush fix of the ride height sensor.

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 didn’t bounce off the rev limiter though. I’m betting it’s the throttlebody because I’ve 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?

It’s a possibility, but the car really isn’t any lower than it was with the other springs. A lot of guys they’re having this issue on the GEN 2 and GEN 3 Mustangs say it’s usually related to changes with the air intake system whether it be throttle bodies or superchargers, etc..

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!

smug smug you offered and I could probably use a hand. Would you still be interested in helping me tune my audio setup in the Mach 1? I would be willing to compensate ya with beer/dinner or Fence & Gate Hardware or other non-homo means 🤣 It has the JL Audio Tūn DSP.
Shoot me a message with what all your system entails and what your after with a tune. I’d like to get one of my audio guys to help out too as it’s alway good to have more ears.
