Hi Guys, this might get tedious and for that I apologize, will try to keep it brief. I bought a 2006 Mustang GT with 27000 miles on it back in January, decided to add a CAI as I do with most of my vehicles, pulled the trigger on a Spectre 9924 with cone filter and chrome tube for 68.00 off of fleabay. Great deal, or so I thought. I put it on, drove the car, check engine light...a cursory search of the forums revealed the solution, battery disconnect, reconnect, let car idle for 5 minutes so that it can relearn how to 'breathe' seems so reasonable, worked for about 10 minutes-pow, CEL on again. Call my local garage, bring car in, nope, we can't do it, need to reset MAF for more air at both higher and lower ranges. Perhaps the dealer can help. okay, off to the dealer for a week...yes a week. He reset things, said it was not installed right, charged 80 bucks, car made it about one mile, CEL on again, back to dealer. Got the two parties talking, Spectre Tech support and dealer. Advised to remove CAI and return factory airbox to engine compartment. Okay, not gonna do this. So,the handheld programmer tune code route, can this work? it seems so simple. And is there anyone here in CT with one of these programmers? I will pay someone cash money to help, not looking for anything for free. Thank you all for any advice.
