Diablo PC7140 issues
Ok, I have a 06 GT w/5spd. Installed the ProCharger Stage 2 kit. I did have the BBK 62 mm TB on it and figured that was the reason for the car not running with diablo tune. I installed the Bama tune that has the bbk tb tune on it and the car the car would run.
Today I took the bbk tb off and installed the factory tb, returned the car back to stock tune. After this I installed the diablo tune for the stage 2 kit. Once the install was done I fired the car up. It ran about 3 mins and died. The message center said "check gas cap". The car will fire up but die immediately. I put the car back with bbk tb and Bama tune, car runs! My check engine light is on for the car running rich. I know why it's doing that cause of the larger injectors. Any ideas why the car won't run in stock form with the diablo tune??

Can't say I have ever heard of such an issue, were there any trouble codes with the ProChrager tune?
FWIW, thats not a 'diablo' tune, its a tune developed by ProCharger that happens to be in a Diablo tool
Thanks

No trouble codes at all. Just when the car cuts off....message center says "check gas cap". Tried it several times even leaving battery unhooked for an hour. Still no go with procharger tune. Its weird that the car will run on the bama tune(set up on the 93 octane race tune) with the procharger.
So, since it's a procharger tune I should contact procharger?

I would take your Mustang to a reputable local Speed shop and get your Mustang dyno tuned. Each car has their own characteristics and there's probably some drive-ability tables that can be played with, easily. If you need help finding a quality Speed shop, give our Bama team a call @ 888.226.9764 and they'll be able to help you out.
Let me know how you make out with this or if you have any other questions!

Thanks Shane,
I was trying to get the car to run on the procharger tune since it would be setup for the larger injectors and wouldn't have to worry bout the MIL coming on. The Bama tunes runs the car but the MIL light comes on because of the injectors are larger than stock. My car is due for NC inspection and I was tryin to get it inspected by the 15th of this month.
I do plan on taking it to Pro Dyno in SC next month.

Ok. After talking to procharger and Bama im stuck! Procharger won't support me since I'm the second owner and Bama won't send me just a injector tune because I installed the procharger so my tunes for life is void now!!! Great!!! Should've listened to Pro Dyno to begin with!!
