Update to She Just Died
Well, the Ford dealer called this afternoon and said I need a new throttle body. Oh, and they won't warranty it because of the Saleen SC I installed. I didn't even want to get into that with them. Ya gotta pay if ya wanna play.
Anyway, they wanted $550 parts and labor. $336 for the part I think. I said don't do amything, I'll pick it. I drove it home without any problems. I haven't looked up the codes yet but they were P2105, P2106 and P2135. Could be a loose plug or something for all I know but I'd want to make sure before I just swap out a good part.
If it is indeed the throttle body I think I can replace that myself. Hell I installed th SC myself. Luckily I have back up transportaion.
Anybody else have a TB go bad on them?

Well, what's sad is I believe Ford Still honors the warranty for 12,000miles or 1 year if the Saleen was installed by an authorized Saleen installer/dealer. If you did an SC, a TB is cake walk.

RE: Update to She Just Died
Well, the funny thing is that since that happened it hasn't happened again. This evening driving to the store the check engine light went off by itself as well (wasn't reset by the dealer). I guess I'm gonna wait and see how it goes. If it happens again or gets worse I'll get a new one.

Recheck your wiring. esp your grounding. I had a loose wire rform my computer that goes to a bolt that is on the passenger side of the car on the rail that the radiater is on that was loose. mind you and my car would just shut down, spit out some codes then be ok for a while. Once i was doing 60 in a curve a switched from high beams to low beams and the car shut down, had to turn the lights off to get it to restart. another time the car would run ok until I turned anything on the dash besides the radio. then it got worse. anyway good luck I know the feeling of not trusting your ride.
