HELP:supercharged "check enigne"vortec HO
HI GUYS,
First of all best wishes!!!! for all of you from The Netherlands
I have finally installed the supercharger on my Mustang 2005 a vortec HO , but now the light is coming on "CHeck Enigne"the mechanic said that is was because of the low rmp when the car is not driving "flight idle" he has checked everything air fuel ratio etc and all was good .the tune was with the diablo predator but we don't no exactly how to use it.....the tuner here is 1 of the best from BMW Tuners so i think when he is saying nothing to worry about ...i must believe it....
what do you guys can advise me...??? and what is the best next mod i can do 3.73 gears?? or other things ???

Yes see if you can pull the code. I can say for certain that when I had my 00 GT my Vortech kit never caused a check engine light. Not to discredit the BMW tuner but the Mustang is a different beast in my opinion. Another good option is to give Brenspeed a call they sell the vortech kit there and from what other members told me the tune they give you with the kit is great. Not to mention all their tunes to my knowledge are safe and have been tested on their project cars. It might cost you $100 but it will be from one of the top Mustang tuners.

Im sorry man I forgot you said Diablo. I would recommend Doug at bamachips but he is slammed with stuff right now I don't think he will get back to you asap. Like onederful said it may be something simple we can help with the code.

In regards to the gears. I don't think you need to buy another handheld programmer. From my experience Diablo will work just as well. It is capable to my knowledge to do anything the SCT does. I used to have one for my 03 cobra which worked great. However with the S197 it seems like there are more tuners who are supporting SCT right now. I am sure you know its not the handheld programmer it is the tuner who is writing the tunes. Tillman, VMP, and Brenspeed are all very well known and all seem to be supporting SCT at the moment. Doug at Bamachips who is awesome will do SCT or Diablo. If you are willing to wait a while you can give him a try. Do a search through the forums, there is plenty of good information on all the tuners and plenty of others I am sure I didn't mention. I am sure since you say that your tuner is good that they can handle the job. I am always one for a second opinion which is why I recommended you call Brenspeed. It is always great to have a second opinion especially when you are dealing with something that can be really expensive to fix. Let us know what code you come up with.
