So I take my car to them to have them try and figure out what this code 212 is doing to my car. I just didnt want to start replacing stuff without knowing exactly what was wrong with it. So i drop it off, hey call me like two hours later and say they cant figure out whats wrong with it. They said they couldnt get the right codes. They said my car is to highly modified for the ECU and it wont give them the correct codes.And they are getting codes that shouldnt exist.(311 and 314 im pretty sure. Has to do with no smog pump) The thing is i told them what code i was getting(212 ignition module circuit failure/spout connector grounded) How they didnt get that from their code reader is beyond me. They told me to take my car to a high performance shop. So now i gotta walk about 2 miles to go get it(nobody can take me there before six)

I had doubts about taking it to ford. But now i know not to anymore.

At least it was free. Do you think i should just replace the ignition module -$108?????

Well I'm not too knowledgeable about electronics on our cars, but to me it seems like a idiot mechanic maybe?
