    Switching one '09 GT for another

    Are you trading in the black one? - because it will interesting to see how the dealer handles this same year car and type - I'm 'all' for getting the lowest mileage car you possibly can when buying used - less miles means less opportunity for the original owner to scratch, beat or mess with it...

    Hahaha.....I'm from Chicago MM - it's an acroynm....Chgo = Chicago and the VFK is an acroynm from when my grandfather (who spoke perfect German in most dialects) played both sides of the 'fence' in WWII as a G-2 for Patton....the VFK is from his insigna from the Wehrmacht patch he saved.

    Just Beat AZ Emissions w/07 mustang Gt - Not easy

    Your right....ECM was ok .....it just wasn't reading the O2 / cataylst.... I'm not an expert - but I have a battery disconnect (my alarm drains power - kills the battery) - when you disconnect the battery - your computer (ECM) resets - at least from what I see ....the modifer's go to zero or no...

    Just Beat AZ Emissions w/07 mustang Gt - Not easy

    Your lucky - here... if there is no reading from the ECM - you get (1) one more chance to come back - and then the emissions computer at the station 'locks' you out according to the personnel there - but then you have to contact the state which gives you another chance or something - they just...
