cfr865 - Yeah, problems before the S/C. Took it to the dealer, the "fixed" it according to them. (I didn't have another "Failsafe engine mode" until I had the supercharder installed) I told Brenspeed. They said it would be ok. I called them several times just to make sure my car would be fine.
Chandler and Brent are kinda at a loss, I mean, they are working with me to get it fixed, and I plan on taking it to them in a week and a half. Problem is that it won't start right now and I am waiting on the new fuel module.
I'm in limbo, because neither the dealer or Brenspeed wants to take credit and responsibility for the car.
And the fuel cut switch has been depressed. Can someone tell me how to reset it?
Bottom line: My car is a big fancy paperweight

I wouldn't have anyone but Brenspeed look at it.
The pressure switch is in the driver side kick panel. There is a little hole that you can stick your finger in and press the switch.
Who tuned the car? I'm assuming brenspeed. They should be able to put it on the dyno and look at a data log to rule out any tune related issues. After I had that taken care of, I would look somewhere else.

So, here's the UPDATE:
Get the new fuel module from the dealer today...install it, nothing happens. Go back in to the service center, tell the tech that it still won't start. I ask him if there is anyone in the shop that "knows" mustangs. He points me to a tech. The tech walks out, checks out my set up, checks the fuel module. Starts checking the volts of all my equipment. Gets to the BAP and notices that there is no voltage coming out. Now, mind you, the new fuel module and the BAP are new to me. He decides to check the fuse, of which I had no idea there was one connected, sure enough.....it was blown. Those bastards had my FING car for 5 days, over a damn fuse. We changed it, it fired right up. We started talking mustangs and he's telling me all about his experiences. So, just goes to show, there are some GOOD techs still out there...and then there are techs who can't check a simple fuse.
So, for future reference, anyone that has a problem with a BAP, check your fuse before you take it to the dealer and deal with what I had to put up with this week. LOL!
Thanks for all your input these weeks guys....the more I get on these forums, the more I learn.
Thanks, Matt

Glad to see you got it fixed, this is what I did also ,I asked the service writer who knew s/c and performance mod's and the tech. he said did had mine car back and running within an hour also. This should be a good lesson for others don't assume all tech's know everthing, ask for one that knows s/c and performance mod's.
