Good point about installing the mini cats just for emissions and then taking them back off following the OBDII test.. As for the "Coyote Control Pack" tune your currently running, I'm not really familiar with the 5.0 Coyote 4V tunes.. Therefore I can only suggest going with an aftermarket tune which has your 02 sensors turned on, if possible
Since the only mod I have on the car is a CAI, AND I was able to flash the VIN and stock tune to my PCM with IDS, I need to have a PATS delete done on the tune. I stopped by my tuner last week and he gave me 2 files based of the stock strategy. I watched him turn PATS off. Yet when i load either one of those, I get no starter and I have a P1602/immobilizer code. So, I'm not sure what is going on there. He seems baffled by it too.
My goal was to have this car run as a stock 2013 with all the emission stuff working. And then start the modding.....lol.....FI
