09 mustang GT losing power
Today just shortly after I started driving my check engine light started flashing and my cars revs would still go up when I pressed the gas but no power then after like a minute or two the check engine light stopped flashing and it is able to drive somewhat normal again but still has major power loss when trying to accelerate.
I am not sure what the problem is. The car does have a running lean code do to a bigger throttle body and air intake with no tune. (Bought it that way)
If you guys could please help me figure this out thank you

JimC is right. your CAI is causing your MAF to read out of range and causing the CEL. find a stock TB and get rid of the one you have as it doesn't help anything at all unless you go FI, and if the one you have says BBK on it, trash it. then get a tune from anyone but Bama for your CAI and be happy again. good luck
