Bahaha, yea that's why I avoided them the first time! I'm talking to Justin right now so hopefully he can figure it out from Florida lol.

Whoo she keeps on piling them on! Took the BAP off and am gonna send it back (Ebay) and try to find another one, so if anybody has one for sale let me know! Started the car up and of course another problems comes up, the car won't idle at all and goes in to failsafe mode.

She's throwing these codes which are for the TPS.

P0123
P0223
P2104

I went back through and checked all the wiring and everything is good so I really have no clue other than to change out the TPS, but she was working great yesterday. Any thoughts? Should I check and see if the voltage is off? The tuner changed it out twice the other day when I was at the dyno.

 

[Taxman]

Probably not the issue, but once I plugged my tps in and I didn't push the red clip in and I got a bunch of codes similar to those.

 

[Doug M]

wow! This is exactly what im scared of, If I ever get the money to do a build that is.

 

[mikeyfitz]

^ happens to all of us brother, eventually it's figured out lol

 

[calispecial08]

Instead of going with a BAP why not go with one of Jeremy's fuel setups? All in all it's not much more than a BAP and supports quite a bit more HP, I have one of his setups and it was easy to install, have had no problems with it!

 

[Doug M]

hope it all works out man, troubles, troubles..lol

It's how you really get to know your car. I'm so happy I did mine myself instead of dropping it off at a shop. Lots of headaches, but man did I learn a lot.

 

[Doug M]

^^Yea, I would never figure it out though..lol

Same here man! I'm proud being 21 and being able to say I did it on my own!

 

[burkem]

I feel the same way. It was terrifying at the start. But now, I keep looking for more things I can do to my car. Only 19 right now, the only thing holding me back from a built motor is my wallet.

 

[GallopingFord]

I let a shop do a install once. That was an expensive mistake and ever since them I've wrenched it all and will continue to do it. That is pretty much the reason I'm getting all my ford tech certifications too.

 

[Doug M]

^^smart man.

 

[LAStang1234]

Alright got rid of the old problems and now have somewhat of a new one. I reloaded my tune from VMP and started her up and she has extreme rough idle, but manages to stay alive so I turn it off and unplug the MAF, turn her back over and she idles perfect! Now I'm getting p2196 and p2198 02 sensors are running rich.


Think it's because I took the BAP out?

 

[calispecial08]

I wouldnt think it would be running rich w/I the BAP if anything is think it would be the other way..

 

[LAStang1234]

Think it's tune related? I'm gonna datalog and send it to Justin and see what he says just in case.

 

[LAStang1234]

Boost gauge is in finally, just curious what I should be reading at idle? It sits anywhere between 12-15 on the vacuum side...

New BAP and throttle body should be here sometime next week so hopefully that'll fix my problems.
