Has anyone installed a BBk 70mm throttle body? if so What kind of problems did you have if any. When I installed mine it fried the ecu.
There was no reason that anyone could give why this happened.
I will give full details if I get a response to this post.

It was a straight forward install and it should not have done anything. The speed shop I deal with will not even touch a BBK throttle body because of the problems they cause. When I had my new ecu re-flashed at the dealership the tech said that the mustang ecu's do not like any changes and typically will cause some type of problem. No one that was involved in this can state why it fried my ecu. I am still hoping to hear from someone who has actually installed a 70mm bbk throttle bodyand had their car run afterwards.
Looks like a I may a 300 dollar paper weight on my hands.

don't know how you must of did something wrong
because the tb doesn't deal with the ecu u must of done something wrong or it just fried

oh also get a tuner if u are puttin more air/fuel crap on it it would help performance wise and not make it run to its greatest and it woulndn't run right.

o bbk their is nothin wrong with their parts i think the people don't know how to work on aftremarket tb's my autoparts places like autozone are f**kin retarted they don't know s**t about workin on vehicles they just want a job that they don't know so doon't listen to them take it to the ford dealership they will tell u whats wrong but its goin to cost u just for them to check it but in your case it doesn't matter if u have to pay at max 50 bucks and you can have them fix it for u or u can.

Will put it on dyno and tune if I ever get the darn thing working.

I have had no issues with the diablo tuner. I used the 93 octane tune it really helped the overall performance of the car. Shifting, throttle response etc.
Thanks for the replys it is appreciated.

Yes, it turns ourt their was a broken wire at the throttle position sensor that broke completely when I removed it.

fix the wire
how does a tb not work?

[white_fang]

the ire that goes to it has to be connected i think to work

[itschristorres8]

i highly doubt that, that throttle body caused you ECU to get destroyed. they cant give you an answer cause it makes no sense and is BS
