Thanks to Gus at steeda. When I ordered my Cai/tuner combo last week I mentioned to Gus a problem I had when its first starts not wanting to respond when u blip the throttle. Had my tech at work watch o2 in real time and fuel trim and sure enough its running lean and has a slow to respond o2. So either just the o2 sensor is bad or maybe it has a intake leak or exhaust leak. We'll know soon enough. Thank god I haven't gotten the tuner combo in the mail yet. Keep ya'll posted when I know something

Going to get car now. Got the good ole no problem found after the dealer sent off the info out of the pcm. All working like its designed. Oh well. It's been wrote up and put in card file and we will see what happens. There was never a light on but I know something doesn't feel right. My buddy who is the advisor I go to at ford says let it break first then bring it in.

All the fuel trim numbers I saw this morning in real time, at work with a tech, were (+10-13%) adding fuel to keep car running correctly. But it was only stored in the short term monitor and not the long term monitor which throws codes. Guess all I can do now is wait and see if the light comes on on the next few days. Looks like I won't be tuning my car anytime soon. Gonna be hard looking at the steeda Cai and tuner just sitting there.

Everytime I stop and get gas I have to let the car idle before i take off otherwise it stalls out... like it's not getting gas.

I'd def take ur car in. Under warranty. Everytime I start mine I have to wait 10sec to give it gas. hard to explain what it does if u try to give it gas but it could be bc I try to push gas peddle down at the bottom of the pedal with my toes. Can make it rev if I put my whole foot on the entire pedal and push down.
