Probably not without software manipulation. I mean it would be easy for Ford to program the start sequence to initialize the servo's before engaging the starter motor but my guess is they didn't do that as it would cause a momentary delay in cranking.
Again I'm just guessing here but the...
My uneducated guess is that the servo motors are "homing" on initial power-up and that requires going to the closed position, then they go to the open position (unless in quiet mode).
I work in an industry with a LOT of servo actuated components and when they are powered off and powered back on...
I had a tuned 2020 Eco that was pretty fast for what it was. Autocross would be superior in the Ecoboost due to the weight and balancing and with a turbo mod and some other supporting work they can be real monsters.
I do love my GT overall for visceral power and sound, but there is nothing...
My non-PP car is still programed to factory settings for the algorithm. This morning I referenced the chart ZX shared and noted that if I drove in a steady state and matched the RPM's to his chart the temps listed were EXACTLY what I was getting. Since it was 70 degrees out I would have expected...
These temps have been bothering me for a while because I routinely see ~228-233 oil temp while cruising at traffic speed (which in AZ often times is pushing 85+). That made no sense to me all winter (even in 50 degree weather).
I would have THOUGHT they would have used a complicated algorithm...
The more I look at this the more it irritates me.
This morning I did some test loading at different RPM's and saw the non-PP numbers matching up. Which means they did NOT account for ambient temps at all or coolant temp correct?
Here in AZ it was 70 degrees this morning and my numbers matched...
Interesting.... Has this been available the whole time tuning has been released? It seems like folks who have asked tuners (up until this last week) and some tuners themselves (via published social media posts) didn't realize this...
I did just have to replace my R8W under warranty and it is connecting to GPS faster. I warrantied it for the front sensor not working (only would detect side and rear). Not sure where the GPS antenna is located. I'll pay attention to it's connection speed the next few days for you.
Favorite mod: Strut Tower Brace - Tightened the front end up so much without negatively affecting the car in any way.
One I kinda regret: Partial PPF - Should have spent the extra money and done ENTIRE car in PPF vs just the front end. Micro scratches are starting to show in the non-PPF'd...
I absolutely LOVE my '24. 33rd car owned, 9th Mustang and it is my all time favorite of every car. There is not a single day that goes by that I wish I had bought something else.
Are there occasional noise and creaks? Probably. But the exhaust note is intoxicating and the drivability of the...
OP that's a tough road to have to take and I'm sorry you and your family are having to navigate it.
There will ALWAYS be cars to buy and other Mustangs to own.... They get into your blood.
Best wishes and I hope your future endeavors are blessed!!!
All parts I have considered as well. Was SO close to putting a Whipple in the cart last week but ultimately have elected to not go FI until I live somewhere with no emissions and less daily driving rush hour (or the car gets placed in play toy status vs daily driver). I'd want to delete cats and...
I have the Banks Pedal Monster. I won't fill the thread up with theory of operation, but the reason I use it vs asking my tuner to optimize the tune for me (in all the drive settings on the car) is because my throttle response needs and wants are whimsical at times and I like to alter the...
I will not claim any dyno backed power gains, but I have now run a throttle controller, Shoemaker and Wengerd tunes and will not drive my car without the tune/controller combo.
Night and day drivability difference for me.
Of the two tuners I have tried, I do prefer my Wengerd tune with...
If I roll ~65 on a road trip I get just shy of 29 mpg. Usually with normal driving I see ~26mpg highway.
But my day to day is a mix of street and highway for a tank of fuel and I see ~19-20 mpg.
It's a great car.
I have mine set in the Mode Selection setting... So it changes from Normal, to Sport, to Track and then my custom setup which uses the 87 dash (first Mustang was a 86 so it takes me back).
