FINALLY GOT MY CAR BACK (LONG)!!!!!!!!!!
As most of you know I had been having issues my GT the past coupe months since my head/cam/intake install and tune. Well, I can't remember if I mentioned that the shop I had my car at was thinking the fuel pump was causing the problems and that I had replaced the CCRM, the FCM, TPS, and processor among a few other things.
Since my last post on the topic of my car I gave the shop a deadline to fix my car or I would pull it from their shop. I ended up having my car taken on a flatbed to Sutton HP in Matteson, IL. On the day I went to get my car from the other shop it would not even start. Even though, it was running super rich and surging before, it at least started.
The day Sutton started working on my car the found plugged vacum hoses. The hose to the fuel pressure regulator was removed and capped off! As soon as that was taken care of my car started up though it still had the previous symptoms as before.
The next day I got a call and explained the situation to their head tech and it ended up that he believed the cars problems were due to falty wiring as did I. Turned out the signal wires and fuel pressure lines were crossed and reading the same voltage (which is in correct) !!! That is what the f*ck cooked my first processor! I knew it was the other shop's bad wiring job!!!!
Moving on to the processor(s). I noticed the original had a bent pin after I took it back from the 1st shop. The 2nd processor that I obtained was also garbage as I found another bent pin and two other pins that were bent and sticking into one whole in the 'CRACKED' connector[:@][sm=icon_flaming.gif]!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
To be fair the first shop did a Grade A job of the parts installations under the hood. However, they butchered my electrical work .
Nonetheless, Sutton HP came to the rescue and got me my baby back promptly and better than ever before. She is putting down 327.7rwhp and 323.6rwft-lbs N/A
!!! Here's a video clip of how she sounds ! http://media.putfile.com/Shes-back I am ssoooo glad to have my car back

RE: FINALLY GOT MY CAR BACK (LONG)!!!!!!!!!!
Since you're in IL (as am I), are you willing to PM the first shop's name to me?
The reason I ask is that I'm dropping off my check today for the deposit on my blower that the shop will be installing among other things. I just want to make sure I'm not using a shop that can't do electrical on Mustangs.
