yeah tell me about it. I called, they told me to replace the fuel system fuse and disconnect the harness from the fuel cutoff switch. I did it and it still kept giving me the same darn code, but you might want to try it out. I had to ship my programmer to them, so I'll see next week what the deal is.

The fuel cutoff switch instructions are in your owner's manual.

Re: Fuel cutoff
Thanks, That actually worked for me, but after thuroughly reading the instruction manual I found no mention of the switch connector itself, only the fuse for fuel pump. None the less I was able to get it programmed and to be honest...I thought it ran better with the stock program in it, feel like I paid for nothing but a code reader. Live and learn. Thanks

Are you running it in the premium fuel program, with 100% premium in your tank, and given the computer at least 100 miles (Ford computers are adaptive)?

Re: Fuel cutoff
Ken, I was using 91 octane with the new program and I'm sure I ran it the better part of 100 miles. I actually started to get major league detonation just prior to deciding to return to the stock program, I have to say this may have been due to a bad batch of gas as several people I know bought gas at this same station and also ran into problems.
I've made some modifications to this car as well:
1) off road x-pipe with mil eliminators
2) accufab throttle body and elbow (new tps)
3) cold air kit
4) stantion removed from maf
5) MSD waste coils & wires, irridium plugs
6) battery relocated to trunk, 0 gauge wire used with beefed up engine ground strap (gnds are good)
