When i got mine installed i had a problem with the idle, it was at 1200 to 1500 RPMs and thru a code for the throttle. Contacted Edelbrock and had to run a few checks to find out the throttle was bad. They over night shipped me a new one and i haven`t had a problem since.

Hunt my thread down, I had all kinds of coding nightmares. Replaced the TB motor twice, Edelbrock sent a different little spring, then had to get a custom tune put on at a dyno shop to clear it up. I and the Ford dealer mechanic had to work with one of their engineers to finally get it all cleared up. I am under the impression the tune was just bad fromedelbrock.

I'm on my 3rd Edelbrock t-body. The first one was bad right out of the box. Similar check engine lights, wrench light, no start. The replacement lasted 8 months, then started idling funny, similar engine codes, wrench lights, car stalls, doesn't want to start.
That was last month. So I currently have about a month's time on my 3rd t-body with no issues.
They said the 1st batch of t-bodies had a spring that had too much manufacturing variance in it. Also said they have a new supplier that is supposed to give giving them better springs. So my 2nd t-body was supposed to be a good one.
Don't know what happened there, but it had to have been something with that spring.
All else was good. Believe me I've learned how to install an E-Force with my eyes closed by now.

Although my TB was replaced soon after my install, it was not throwing any codes, just had some minor idle surging issues. But my original canned tune had problems as well and was running very lean. Nothing that a good dyno tune would not solve that was done on Edelbrock's dime. No issues since and I have one of first the units installed (s/n 0007), so I am going on 1.5 years with it installed.
