Exclamation modded 2011 GT problems

plz could use some feedback on this issue i am having, i made a quick vid to show you guys the problem.
the shop who did my work will remain anonymous for the moment as i do not know for sure it was there fault to begin with. i had this car tuned a while back, and it was the first time my shop did a long tube+CAI dyno tune on a 2011 5.0L engine. which makes me think its a tuning problem. The shop Where I got all my work done is a well known and respected shop. I got my tune close to when the 5.0 just came out so it was crucial for me to find the right shop.

thanks for any help.

sounds like it could be the tune.
has it ever run good after the custom tune?
got any OBD codes?
may not be tuned for the CAI properly.
when it does run, it runs all boggy?

by bogging, i mean it has no power and its all jerky and hesitates.
but if it ran well with the tune, then it cant be the tune.
have you checked all the connections on the CAI?
but idk why it wont start.

Have you tried reverting the ECU back to stock parameters?

i am a friend of amorin, his car was towed to my house a few days ago. i live closer to our shop. the problem we are having ATM is getting the car towed there. we can get a free tow, but it wouldn't be tell next monday. so we have a brand new mustang sitting in my drive way for a week tell the tow truck comes. we just wanted see what some mustang forums thought of this problem.

darksky- we cannot mess with the tune from my house, we had it dyno tuned at the shop. we also have a tuned require setup up, so going back to stock would be a good idea any ways.

Its the crocs you are wearing. It's well known that mustangs respond poorly to crocs touching their pedals...LOL. Sorry man. In all honesty it's in the tune. just have them go back through it & Im sure they will find the problem.

Throw on the stock airbox and stock tune. See if it starts. Car should run with LTs and stock tune.
