Does this mean I have a "chip?" Found this while looking under the hood.

I took some pixtures with my camera. I just bought the car a little while ago a totally bypassed the sticker. Now, it sticks out like a sore thumb. I'm sure this didn't come with the car, but I don't know what it is? I linked to it from a geocities page, so the badwidth probably will kill it for the first hour, but I have no idea what this means....

call the number?

I just pranked them, rizzo style... They were not amused

Probably not. However you should have the dealer replace your intake under the recall because you have the old style that is subject to failure.

 

[Kilgore Trout]

It has to fail before they will replace it.

 

[FalconGuy016]

That makes absolutely no sense to me ??

 

[OUR01GT]

My local dealer is going to replace mine and it has not failed.

Son of a...

//note to self, call stealership...

 

[HoustonGT]

I thought the intake had to crack first. If not, im heading to my Ford Dealer tomorrow

 

[OUR01GT]

I called my local dealer and asked if it would be replaced even if it has not failed and was told "yes". Maybe I'm just dealing with a "consumer friendly" dealership?

 

[bakos24]

If there is a recall on it, then they have to replace even if it hasnt failed/cracked. As for that sticker, you got me. never seen one of them before.

that's a sticker on your radiator cover

if you want to check the computer pull off the passenger floor kick panel, undo the bolt or two holding the plastic straps in place, and pull out the computer. there's a port in the top end that you can see once you've pulled it and it'll be pretty obvious if there's a chip in it.

oh and like the others said... wash your engine bay!!!

 

[Kilgore Trout]

No offense but that is the dirtiest Mustang engine I have ever seen.

Here is mine:

I have always had problems after washing an engine bay. I am always extremely careful also.. who knows. Ahh, maybe once it warms up I'll give it a shot..


So no one knows exactly what that [sticker] means? Guess I'll give them a call tomorrow.. I'll post what I find.
