So, it's been a three weeks of hell. Let me recap:
1. PCM fails, dealer has it for 6 days, and still doesn't fix the "failsafe engine mode" that continues to happen. Have it reflashed to stock.
2. Take it to Brenspeed to have my V3 S/C installed. Started to run real high RPMs and "failsafe engine mode" still comes up.
3. Take it to the dealer, I figure it's the Fuel Pump, Fuel Filter, Throttle Body, or Throttle Position Sensor. Dealer gets back with me tells me it's the Throttle Body, they replace it, it runs fine for about 5 miles. It dies on the side of the road, I have it towed to the same dealer. He calls me back, tells me the fuel pump failed and he replaced that today.
4. Go to pick my car up, after he tells me that it is ready. Go to start it up, doesn't fire up. Go back in, the tech comes in and says that I need a "racing fuel pump" and a new fuel module because the "Boost-a-pump" shorted out this module that is I can only get at a dealer(and yes, I called Napa, Jegs, Autozone, etc.).

I need help with this asap. Can everyone say a prayer for my car?

and if not, I may have a V3 for sale with less than 300 miles on it.

Thanks.

 

The Ford dealer who was doing my car (Supercharger install) sent the wrong rearend gear ratio to the tuning specialist.When my Pcm blew along with many parts you have mentioned so they say...They sent the wrong new Pcm strategy code to the tuner. Problem is still ongoing. Just something to look at.

 

Wow this sucks, sounds like both you guys need to take your cars someplace else. Do these tech know what they're doing or are they just reading codes? Spounds like there pulling an Autozone and not really capable of determining what the actual problem is

 

Saying prayer now...

 

..........

 

If I'm reading this correctly your car was having a problem before you took it to Brenspeed to have the s/c installed ? Why would you take a vehicle that's not running correctly and expect it to be okay after having the s/c installed. Did Brenspeed know you were having a problem, if so they should not have even installed it. Just my 2 cents.

 

yeah, that does not sound right. Brenspeed is very good at what they do. Maybe take it back to them and have them check it all out and fix it. The dealer is causing more damage than helping.

 

Yeah unless I have the timeline incorrect, it sounds like you were having problems, then had the S/C installed, and now some tech is blaming the BAP?

 

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

 

That really sucks, apparently it wasn't fixed properly from the dealer, Brenspeed has a good reputation of knowing what they are doing. I would try a different dealer, ask the service manager if any of the techs have knowledge on your setup. That's what I did when a peice of my s/c piping came apart and the car would not start ,I could not find it but the tech who was familiar with s/c setups found it in an hour. Anyhing can be fixed you just need to find the right person. Good luck, don't give up, once its fixed the s/c exprience is amazing.
