Question if you have a C4 automatic reverse manual valve body on your car with a 2200 stall would a a9l be best or a a9p. This car was orginally a 5speed converted to a auto c4. Just curious. The car runs fine but when you first start it kind of surges for a minute unless you wack it a couple times then it will idle normal.. no tune yet. It has a a9l now in it.

there has been controversy over this before but i belive either one is fine. amd if i had to take a guess i would say the surging is noyt a computer problem. more like an idle air control valve problem. see this thread http://forums.stangnet.com/showthread.php?t=698148

Click to expand...
Did he say why?


there is very little difference between starting to tune with an A9L vs an A9P...


I'll see if I can find an old thread where the differences were discussed in depth....
