Headed that way in about a month for the Dead Ahead Festival in Cancun, the weather is not even that bad where I live but I'm still hate winter with a passion and am so looking forward to the sun. Anyway hope your having a great time but we are all waiting for news on the beast's return to the...
Once Again - Sort of an Update
I have to find someone not a dealer to work on my SHO, I feel like the one I have been going too is mostly honest but I still feel like I've been taken to the cleaners and need a shower (that's not exactly how I would put it but this is a family friendly forum)...
UPDATE - "Sort Of"
After 15 days at the Dealership they finally managed to find a replacement PCM, I'm not sure if they used one of the ones I found for them after I waited a week for them to find one on there own but since I know exactly what they cost the markup on the one they sold me...
- If I could do it I would because when I do something I'm very meticulous, but the truth is while I have a pretty good understanding how things work I'm just not that good with my hands. I can do simple things but its easy for me to get over my skies and I have a hard time recovering.
- I...
- I have a bunch of cars and its just me so usually there is no rush in getting them fixed BUT I do plan on keeping the car so that is actually a really good idea about stocking some extra parts.
- I'm going to make an educated guess and say after the mechanic completed the other things on the...
Turning out about how I thought it would!!!!!!!!!
So I dropped her off on Monday at the dealership, I was heading out of town so I figured I'd just wait until they called me or I got home before I started asking questions. Needless to say I heard nothing from them all week. So I finally called...
NO only when I'm checking for codes or loading tunes, at one time I worked out a whole wireless thing where I could look at the performance parameters on a small handheld tablet but I mostly just use the car for road trips and never really run her that hard so it ended up being more trouble then...
Yup I did, in fact I drove it to the store that day and had no issues and no codes, it wasn't until the next day when I had driven about 20 miles and tried to get on it hard that it messed up, when I got home that's when the PO605 code popped up.
I could do that, but then I'd have to drive it...
Greeting All,
I know there are already a bunch of transmission threads but I did a search and could not find any threads on this specific code, and I thought it maybe helpful to someone down the road if I documented my problem.
- A few weeks ago I was heading home and she started acting up...
Funny you should say that, something strange happened when I tried to flash the computer back to the stock tune. It kept failing and I ended up getting a 'Low Voltage or Battery" prompt. I had to hook up the battery charger to get it to accept the stock tune. I have a really good battery and the...
Update
I removed the tune and drove it some, just when I thought that might be the problem it had a pretty significant event. Strangely it never seems to do the same thing twice other then it only seems to happen when I'm on her hard, this time it just stopped like I hit the brakes, then it had...
Either way it's well beyond anything, I or the shop I use for basic maintenance can fix, so it looks like as much as I hate to do it, a trip to the local Ford dealership is in order. Last week was a busy week, but I'll remove the tune and drive it around some in the next few days and drop it off...
Hey Everyone,
- Just a heads up I'm going to move this conversation to another thread or start a new one because after spending time with the car its clear there a lot more going on then just a shudder. It's something the transmission and hopefully its just a sensor, module, or something like...
Small Update
Having a few cool cars is a lot of fun until they all start giving you problems at once, basically I'm in a holding pattern with the SHO because I need something to drive for a trip next week and it runs great as long as I don't force a hard shift between 1-2-3, so I have not...
I wonder if I had searched "shudder" instead of "shutter" I would have found more threads about this issue.
OK - I need the car up and running for a few days and since it only happens on really hard acceleration I'm going to wait to start messing around with the tunes. First I'll double check...
