    DTC P0455 help on a 2007 V6

    It is possible to see how many miles it's been since the PCM's memory has been cleared, but not how long or how many miles since a code sets. Sorry.

    Question about warranty work

    I'm not certain of what you said got damaged, but it sounds like the condenser might be it. They are correct, Ford will not warranty that because it is not a manufacturing defect. You might want to contact your insurance company, but for such a small claim, I don't think it would be worth it...

    Your going to want to inspect the wiring related to the passenger side and drivers side fuel gauge sending units. This includes removing them if required. If nothing obvious is found, get an ohm meter and with the sending units disconnected check for smooth changes in the resistances as you...

    Need help P0103 code

    By far the most common cause for MAF related codes is the MAF sensor being disconnected, or not completely connected and latched. The best way to diagnose this concern is to use a capable scan tool and monitor the MAF sensor voltage with the engine idling. The voltage should be aprox. 0.6 to...

    Steering Wheel Shake / Vibration

    You need to take the car to someplace that has a road force balancer (preferably where you bought the tires) and have them recheck your tires. You could have a defective tire and using a standard old school balancer will never find/fix the vibration. Tell them you have a vibration and ask if...

    DTC P0455 help on a 2007 V6

    Good job finding the problem! Be careful when installing the new canister that the o-ring seals on the lines & vent solenoid do not get damaged. Putting a little bit of grease or some other lube will help.

    PCM fuel compensation

    That is mostly true, and it doesn't just apply to the 2011 3.7 Mustang. The thing to take note of is to use the lowest octane gas you can without having any detonation. Using higher octane gas than needed can cause hard starts and it is certainly a waste of money if you don't need it.

    DTC P0455 help on a 2007 V6

    It is possible to test the function of the evaporative emissions system components on your car but you will need a diagnostic tool capable of performing active commands of the PCM output devices such as the vapor management valve and the canister vent solenoid in your case. A code checker is...

    engine code p1903

    Are you sure you have that code correct? I just searched the 2005 Factory Ford service manual and couldn't find a listing for P1903 anywhere.

    Can't Fill Gas Tank on 05 GT?

    Ford has a TSB 07-21-12 for this this that involves replacing your gas tank with an updated design if your car was built before 4/26/2005. I don't know the price of the updated tank, but I'm sure it isn't cheap.

    2007 GT Running rough with CAI, expertise needed

    Sounds pretty cut & dry there's a problem with your MAF and/or aftermarket tune. Try this, with the aftermarket tune & CAI installed disconnect the battery and let it sit for 10 minutes. After that start the car with the MAF sensor disconnected. How does the car idle now? Does it still smell...

    Steeda vs Bama custom tunes

    I don't understand the point you are trying to make, or what you consider a "crock of crap" as you put it. I agree with that statement, so what's the problem? Just a few weeks a ago we had a 2011 Mustang 5.0 in for the concern spelled out in the TSB. We found it had an aftermarket tune...

    Steeda vs Bama custom tunes

    ATISTANG, I'm not sure where or when you worked at a Ford dealer, but service writers have no authority as to whether a vehicle repair is warranty or not. Never have, never will. If they are making decisions like this then the dealership is not following Ford warranty policy. An angry...

    Steeda vs Bama custom tunes

    If your engine blows and exhibits symptoms spelled out in that TSB I posted above, you'll be worried then! When it comes to warranty issue like that, you'll probably find yourself in a situation like this guy: Blown up 2011 5.0 It's been my experience it doesn't matter if your friends with...

    Steeda vs Bama custom tunes

    Buy the FRPP CAI & Tuner instead of either one of those you mentioned. Why? Read this TSB from Ford: Ford TSB 11-07-07.pdf

    When to switch to Synthetic Oil in '12 5.0?

    My favorite misconception is that pure synthetic oil has nothing in common with conventional oil. Fact of the matter is that when pure synthetics are made they start out with crude oil just the same as conventional oils do. For you guys that don't believe me do some research.

    More Transmissions problems with my 2012 GT

    You can turn the skip shift off with a Ford Racing Performance Parts (FRPP) programmer and the use of the Ford programmer will not void your warranty.
