I Think Ford Is Trying To F$$K Me?!?!
So I have an 04 GT that I brought in on Friday because the service engine soon light was on. So I go there and just have them do the 30,000 mile service as well. So they call me up on Saturday and tell me the car is ready. I go to get it and the damn service engine light is still on. So I leave it again and they call me today and tell me that since I have an aftermarket TB that it's causing my #2 cylinder to misfire and for $450 they will put a stock TB on for me. So I'm thinking...how the hell would that cause a cylinder to misfire?!?! Is there something that I don't know about or what?? Please help. The TB I have on now is a Accufab 70mm with plennum. Ohh...and they charged me another $100 just to hook it up to get troubleshooted. A$$holes.

just for future reference you can go to autozone and they will tell you what it is for free. I don't see the misfire, but it could have been a bad air/fuel mixture. I hadmy CELgo on for that before, that's all it said bad air/fuel mixture.

Ok...I didn't think that could happen either. I sounded kinda fishy. I've had the TB on there for about a year now and the light just came on last week. The motor doesn't sound like it's running funny or feel different in any way. And no...I don't have any tune or chip for it yet. I'll look into that air/fuel mixture theory though. Thanks guys.

You need to find out what code(s) are being thrown... There's no way that the Accufab TB & plenum could possobly cause a misfire on cylinder #2--only...

The code that they had on the sheet was P0172. So whatever that is, I have no idea. It says on the sheet:
IDS test code P0172, pinpoint test, needs factory TB.
