Does it run rich or lean?
Does it have crisp throttle response?



mixture doesn't seem that far out, possibly a little rich, but not massively so.. throttle response is virtualy non existant..

its going on a rolling road next week, at a place that claim to be able to diagnose and sort any managment problem

the lack of codes seems very odd...

Check all the vacuum lines, thats what was causing my problem on the granny

Is it a drive by wire throttle control because that would explain no fault codes

i.e All the engine wants is more throttle response

On my OB2 you can measure the amount of throttle opening from 0 to 100% , just an idea ??

its not fly by wire no... on those v6 mustangs you're lucky to have a throttle cable at all...

try swapping the ecu with chris dude, its gotta be the easiest way.... have they checked all the grounds... remeber andy's sts fuel pump of expensiveness....



we swore at that car for a whole day until he mentioned

"funny that the indicator (or brake lights) have given up at the same time.... wierd"

Indeed!


But...

Who actually tested the ground to the pump and announced it was fine?!

EDGE

but who told me..

"looks like that black wire there"

plus who was it that said..
"you wanna strap that jumper pack down in the boot, it's flying about, it's likely to break something eventually"
