you bought a used Ford, do you expect it to run like a champ?

I've seen this before on the dyno, just an interesting foot note
i'm sure they just un plugged the battery...........


which , as you should know is the first step of working on any car JFWY

but resetting the ecu on stangs often always seems to make them run better.........


i remember doing it on mine a few times and it was a night and day difference, untill the computer got back to its factory "pig rich" mode

I wouldnt want them to wash my car, in fact I make it a point to tell them not to wash them, I guess it depends on what dealor you take it to? +1 on disconnecting the battery
