Default Haunted Mustang

I dont know but my mustang has a life of its own.... lately its been throwing alot of false codes.. ive gotten so far

P0340
P0442
P0456
P0171

sometimes when I go to start up my car, the entire car shuts down, I have no power at all for 10 minutes... it automatically resets itself... or if I disconnect the battery then reconnect it... I brought it into my dealer and they cant find anything wrong with it!! it does show the codes that it pulled, but it wasnt enough to cause a CEL to turn on... so they know somethings going on.. but am I going crazy? or is my car just haunted... LOL.. or is just the pony inside comming alive.. LMFAO!

I'm gonna lean toward the pony coming to life instead of haunted. Ghosts scare me.

Did James Dean ever drive your car???? If so, run as fast as you can, and change your identity!!!

Check for dampness on the passenger side floor. You may have that same problem of water getting in behind the passenger side kickboard and causing havoc with the electrical box there.

yeah its funny in a cosmic sort of way... i really didnt make this post to be a serious one.. all I know is that my car is 100% covered by warranty, so if anything breaks, my dealer already knows my car has been giving me problems... they were willing to give me a good deal on a Ford Fusion V6 6spd, but i turned em down, I love my mustang, even if it is haunted.. LOL!

did you change to an aftermarket air filter like a K&N that requires a special oil? The oil if applied to heavy can mess up the sensor in the mass air flow to start with. Just a thought

I have the AEM brute force CAI, its an oil-less filter that doesnt need to be oiled.. I checked for dampness on my passenger side, and its completely dried, I just washed my car 1 hour ago.. i think in a heavy rain thats when ill check it again..
