I have a 07 Mustang GT wiht L.T. headers and high flow cats that I purcahsed with a Bama tune on it but the previous owner did not give the tuner to the dealer when he traded the car in so I do not have the stock tune or any idea what tune was loaded on the car.
The car has passed emissions the last 2 years with no issues. I just recently installed a set of the Ford Racing cams and also bought the Tunes For Life from American Muscle. I had Bama write a tune for my car and all of the listed mods. I installed the tune and all seemed well until I went for my emissions testing, thats when I found that the car has not completed its drive cycle?
I purcashed the tunes for life on April 7th, the emissions test was done on July 21st and the car still has not completed its drive cycle? Its not a daily driver but I thought 2 1/2 months I would have driven enought to complete the drive cycle?
I filled the tank just a bit over 3/4 with 93 and drove according to the Ford drive cycle directions. I put over 700 miles on the car trying to get the drive cycle to complete but no luck waht so ever. I contacted Bama and I was told that their tunes do not effect the car not being ablet o complete the drive cycle?
Justy wondering if any one else had to deal with this? I now have to take the car to a local tuner and have a new tune put on it so it will atleast clear the drive cycle and I can get the cars plates current again.
I guess I can kiss that $150.00 goodbye. If you are in the market for a tuen and or tuner and you expect your car to complete a drive cycle after you have it tuned I would think twice before giving Bama any of your hard earned money. From my experience after they have your money and you have any issues you are out of luck.
