Whats the trick to....

[road rage]

bringing the rpm's down quicker. I just installed a densecharger tb pipe and the rpm's are coming down to slow.

 

[JonJon]

Oh no, I have my TB pipe coming friday along with my helmet... I hope I don't have that problem

 

[road rage]

Its a bitch to install

 

[JonJon]

How is that so?

It was a super PITB to get the stock pipe over my 75mm tb...

 

[road rage]

Theres no flex in the pipe

 

[DBMSTNG]

give the ECU some time to adjust to the new air flow.

 

[road rage]

Thats what I thought

 

[JonJon]

Did your problem go away?

My install went fine, the hardest part was getting the stock pipe off of the 75mm TB. Getting it all on and in place was cake. I think I have a leak though since the car idles -BAD-. I drove it 45 miles to the track and it wasn't idling right. Hard to explain but it was all over the place with a hanging idle too.

I'm going to try a few things tomorrow to fix it.

You may need to reset your idle, per ford. I did this and it fixed the idle.
1 Disconnect the batery for about 15-20min(make sure all your accessories are off)
2 Re-connect and start the motor, but don't run ligts, A/C, Radio, etc and don't touch the gas. Let it idle for 5min.
3 Then turn everything on for 5min (high beams, radio, A/C full blast, etc)
4 Turn all the accessories off again and let just the engine idle for 5min. and shut it off.

That should fix it...it did for me. My idle would drop to 400 and jump to 1500. Drove me nuts! All good now.

Mine did the same thing for a week or so after installing the new C&L MAF & Trueflow pipe, and Accufab TB & plenum. Then it settled down, back to stock-like idle quality. I had the battery disconn'd during the install, and just reconn'd it afterward...maybe I got lucky and it learned? Or maybe the SCT chip had something to do with it?

Jonny, I reset my ECU after an X pipe install where I was running super rich and getting horrid gas mileage and it fixed it. But I didn't reset it that way, I just unplugged battery for about 20 minutes and pumped the brakes a few times to get any charge out of the system, then I reconnected. Were the other steps neccassary? lol

My rpms are back to normal it took a couple of days for the computer to readjust itself now its fine

I always disconect while installing new stuff. Had it off for the hour or so I was changing out the CAI, T/B & Plenum...still jumped all over when I hooked it back up, 'till I did it the Ford told me to.

Do the 1/2" copper cap "mod". It works great on my '00 GT. Do a search for "Copper". Costs $.14 and brings the revs down really quick just like the old muscle cars.

Yeah, I did that to mine and it works.

If that doesn't bring the revs down quick enough then just hurry up and grab the crank pulley with both hands after you get off the throttle and that should help too ... you have to be quick though.

You know if you reset the computer if the guages all peg when you put the key into the ON position. If they don't peg (and your trip odometer isn't reset) then you didn't drain it enough.

alright, cool. I'll let mine run for a few more days. I reset it again today in hopes that it would fix itself... I'll drive it more.
