TNTchris Posted June 9, 2012 Report Share Posted June 9, 2012 Friends of the forum, I purchased a new part # M-6066-M11P7, which is a Ford Racing Whipple Supercharger with 550 HP for a manual transmission for my 07 SGT. This was installed my mechanic at Huber performance who specialize in performance race mustangs. Everything went great with the install for the manual is straight forward and everything is plug and play for the most part. I used my voucher that came with my kit to order the ProCal tuner and chip. To regress slightly, a few weeks before Huber installed 4:10 gears in place of my stock 3:55's. I ordered a tool from Ford Racing to calibrate my speedo then sent the tool back to Ford. All is good car ran great! The new ProCal tuner and chip arrived and my mechanic tried to install but the tuner would not work. Ford then next dayed my a new tuner and chip to go with it. Huber then tried install the new tune and the tool worked but the chip would not? I called Ford Racing an they forgot to put the tune on the chip and they next dayed me a new chip. Huber installed the tune and all was good I thought... I was so excited that my car was finally finished after waiting 6 weeks for the SC and which seemed forever for the car to get completed. I did not let Huber test drive the car. I took off and that is when all the problems started: 1. My airbag light came on. 2. I had no power in the car and it was like I did not even have a SC. 3. Engine light came on but went off in a minute. I babied the car home and called Huber. He told me to hook up my Procal tuner and send Ford racing the codes that came up in my tuner: PCM 07E0 TCM 07E1 ICM 0720 ABS 0760 SJB 0726 4x4 0761 USR 0700 Ford Racing was very confused and said these codes were codes for an automatic transmission and a 4x4? They thought it may be a voltage problem. I had Huber come to my house and use their computer and these are the codes and items that came up: 14.3 volts Misfire in cylinders #1, #4, and #8 Codes: P0300 P0301 P0304 P0308 B2292 These codes were continuous and came up with the key in the on position and when the car was running. The volts obviousily are great. I pulled the plug in cylinder #1 and it was fine. The car smells like it is running lean?! We cleared the codes and took it for a very short controled drive then hooked it back up to the computer and both sets of the same codes came up again? I checked all the wires on the install and everything is in check? Does anyone any clue why these codes are coming up? Ford Racing engineers are dumb founded and do not have any answers for me? I told them I thought the problem was in the tuner or chip but these said it was not? Is there something that could damage these chips in transit? Static or a magnet? PLEASE HELP! DO I have my PCM cleared andd start over; would that help!? Any Ideas! Thanks in advance Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jbart610 Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 It almost sounds like they sent you a tune for the complete wrong vehicle/engine management system. See if you can have them send you a new tune, and install that over a fresh wipe of the PCM (back to stock). These things are not magic, but it's pretty easy to screw up. One other thing - did you check all of the connections for the electrical and vacuum? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mullens Posted June 14, 2012 Report Share Posted June 14, 2012 +1. You most likely have a tune for a different engine. A little surprised that FRPP would screw up like that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TNTchris Posted June 22, 2012 Author Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Well guys problem solved!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I wanted to thank all of you for you comments, pm's, and emails. At the end of the day my mechanic came up with the solution of the problem. He said it was the plugs, he said he came up with the idea in the middle of the night. The symtoms were all leading him to think that something was blowing the spark out on the plugs. After 3 days of telling Ford Racing this they finally comp'ed me a set of new plugs. The plugs arrived and I compared them to the ones in the car. The part numbers were the same but the ends of the plugs were completly different??????? So much so my mechanic was hesitant about putting them in.....then we decided what the hell! We put them in and the car ran like a champ!!!! No issues! WOW, holy crap this car is fast!!!!!!! I called Ford racing in the AM and told them and they said whipple changes the end of the plugs along with the gap after they receive them for Ford Racing and they could have been damaged in the process? WTF?! It took 3.5 weeks to get to the bottom of this issues with no help from the Ford Racing engineers, the just keep blaming my mechanic! I will say that Ray Herron and Ford racing returned and answered every phone call and email. he was very responsive. The one issue that I still have outstanding is that my airbag light is still on? Anyone have any idea what this could be? Thanks Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Blown Away Posted June 22, 2012 Report Share Posted June 22, 2012 Glad to hear she's running again. I know the first time I drove my car after installing the Whipple, I was like, holy !!! I could not imagine having to wait 3.5 weeks to finally resolve the problem. Hopefully the airbag light is something minor and easily fixed. If not, electrical tape over the light usually works...
