i guess i didnt post clearly so i will try again. as many may know i am in the middle of a major remodle at my house. i have 3 of my sons friend from our school helping me dig the trenches for the footings. with this said when the new tube adapter and EGR adapter came from explorer express yesterday for me to try out i was bretty busy and really didnt want to install them. but since this is the last two items to finish up the kit and make them ready to ship i installed them. so i removed the throttle body and the tube between the TB and the blower. apparently when i installed the new one i pinched a wire between the TB and the tube. it is a very small black wire that goes to a diode that mounts to the side of the TB. i didnt even notice it. but after i had already called for a morning tow i went out to the car and got out my test light. now i have one of the good test lights that you hook up to the battery , that way when you probe it tells you weather your probe point is hot or groung. so im probing the fuses and not only is one blown but it shows ground. so i log on and look up the wire diagram. it was the fuse for the PCM,injectors,anti lock and such. so i start looking around following wire. so im moving wires and this small black single wire that wraps around to the outside of the TB wont move . i get my reading glasses on (yea im an old fart) and there it was just barley cliped the corner. so i loosen the TB and slide the wire out and use some fusion tape to repair the wire. replace the fuse and its done.

1. dont work on your car when your real busy
2. dont leave any stone unturned.
3. im damn glad this is fixed.

yep i will the new adapter is much better it lowers the TB a bit and slightly turns it to the right (dowm) the prob was it was rubbing a bit on the hood cover and dave wanted to fix this. and it did i made some putty points and closed the hood and it clears fin now. so with that they should be shippinf real soon!

I bet that is a huge relief for you. I know that I would be freakin out if that happened to my car and I've invested a fraction of thime you have. When you invest the time and energy into your stang it is disheartening when something random like that happens. I'm just glad you didn't post and tell us that your tuner fried the ecu module or something and now you are reponsible for replacing the part because the warranty is voided. That would have sucked!!
