Every second today was painful... I couldn't wait to get home and throw my intake on and tune her up. Get home, nothing there. 7:20PM, doorbell rings... time to boogie. [8D]
Installation was pretty easy, took my dumbass 25 minutes or so. Then it was time, I plugged in the SCT-2 and...... NOTHING! No lights, nothing. Damned thing wont turn on. Lights are on, my radio will turn on, my headlights turn on, not the tuner.
I called Fred at Evo. Perf. His crazy *** is still awake (midnight over there! You crazy Fred!) and he figures it's a burnt fuse. He advises me to plug the SCT into my PC, and sure enough, it turns on. I go back to the stang, check every fuse that makes sense and they seem to be just fine. I call it a night, put my stock intake back on, and walk away with my tail between my legs... but before I do that, I have my friend with a Ford Focus head over to see if the tuner turns on in his car. No go on his, either.
Is it possible that the tuner is defective somehow? Or is it more likely that I have a blown fuse somewhere? I have terrible luck.. ruined my day for sure..

what are your 3 tunes? are they all performance oriented or torque or combo of the 2? I would go to your website but it's under construction.

Note to self: check SCT before installing CAI.

How bad is it to run the C&L intake with the stock tune? I read once that as long as you don't floor it the air/fuel ratio won't cause any serious problems.
I'm just thinking down the road -- I'd rather not have to switch back to the stock intake every time I need to go in to the dealership.
Spartan, I hope you get yours up and running soon!

Ha! Good call. I'm hoping to install my kit this Saturday! Hope I don't have to do it in the snow...
