06RedfireGT · August 15th, 2007, 11:48 PM

teake the CAI off and load the stock tune, but disconnect the batter first.

Bhblondguy · August 15th, 2007, 11:48 PM

HMUSN · August 15th, 2007, 11:49 PM

05mustang_TT_charged · August 15th, 2007, 11:51 PM

what code is it and did it start doing it right after you put cai, and tune?

check the mass air connector and make sure it is all the way in

Bhblondguy · August 15th, 2007, 11:55 PM

stanglifemike · August 15th, 2007, 11:58 PM

Anything that you had just changed prior to this happening?

05mustang_TT_charged · August 16th, 2007, 12:01 AM

cool let us know sounds like something is unplugged, mine did it when one of the throttle pedal location switch's came loose, at the least if you put it in gear it should be able to rev to 3500 rpm to get you home, that's what mine let me do

Bhblondguy · August 16th, 2007, 12:03 AM

gas mileage tune. swapped tunes. nothing was wrong before. typing from my Phone

Bhblondguy · August 16th, 2007, 12:04 AM

p2104 code. swap tune. typing from phone

05mustang_TT_charged · August 16th, 2007, 12:07 AM

throttle actuator control system- forced idle

sounds like throttle position sensor

05mustang_TT_charged · August 16th, 2007, 12:08 AM

what year is car 05 and some 06 have recall for the tps going out

Bhblondguy · August 16th, 2007, 12:21 AM

05 maybe thats why it has't been idling right the last few months. i even cleaned the air bypass control system couple days ago

05mustang_TT_charged · August 16th, 2007, 12:25 AM

yep probably went out if you bring it to the dealership make sure to program it back to stock, i didn't know the reflashed the computer everytime they do work on it and they erased my kenne bell tune and i couldn't drive it for a week while waiting on another tune from kenne bell, just a little heads up
