I recently purchased a 2004 Mach 1 and noticed it was throwing a 2195 code. After a bit of investigating I think I have the culprit - an aftermarket power chip. Was wondering if anyone could advise what kind of issues I might encounter if removing the chip.

Thanks for your time.

 

I would say just pull it and reset the car to erase the code. if it drives fine and the code stays off leave it out. if you have more problems put it back in and continue the search!

 

It depends on the mods.

If you have a blower or NOS or other aggressive mods, then you'll need to get your car retuned right after you remove the chip.

Otherwise, you might lose a little timing and a bit of power, but it won't hurt anything. Just unplug the battery for 20 minutes and let everything reset.

 

Thanks.

The car is bone stock aside from the chip. A quick diagnostic shows the chip is calling itself out as a 1.8 liter 4 cyclinder instead of the 32 valve V8 in the Mach 1. The car runs great but keeps throwing the 2195 lean burn code.

I'll pull the negative battery cable, remove the chip and then hook it all back up after about 30 minutes. I'm a Corvette guy and the Mustang's are a bit new to me.

Appreciate your time.

 

take that thing off its a waste of money. some idiot before you probably bought it off ebay for 30 bucks because it claims 50+ horsepower gains.
