1st Post.
I purchased my 2013GT new in June of 2012. I didn't like the sluggish throttle response and thought it should be more aggressive. So I ordered the Ford Racing Tune and GT500 muffler Kit. I was pretty happy for a number of years. The original battery died 3 years ago after winter storage (New York). Popped in a new Battery and only put about 250 miles on it that summer. Kids, wife, vacations.... etc.
I went to go get it inspected before winter storage that year and it fails due to the o2 monitor and o2 Heater monitor "not ready". I drive it more during the second year, uninspected, because how else am I supposed to put mileage on the damn thing? O2 monitors never become ready after about 500miles driven during the whole summer. This continues into this year. Still not ready. I have the feeling I'm not putting on enough mileage often enough to set these monitors. My scan tool shows them working perfectly. Car has about 12,600 miles on it.
Here's my question: I have a local dyno tuner guy available. $400 for the dyno tune with HP software. Seems to focus on GM products but also does quite a few mustangs. Is it possible to get those sensors ready quicker with a well tailored tune? If so, I'll inquire. If not, I'll just keep driving it uninspected and eat a possible ticket.
