Also does your engine have the updated cam followers and hydraulic lash adjusters with the smaller oiling holes?

Sup eeston you got a complex problem going on. These engines rattle and tick but pretty tough too. Oil pressure is key here it's gotta be. Unplugging the vvt sensor changed the pressure delivered to the phaser right? If there is an oil blockage in the vvt solenoid area, when the ECM signals more...

That intake is nice it makes the 281 look huge ha. Possibly corrosion in the sockets for fuel injector plug I don't know how water tight that mod is. Make sure your ground wires have solid metal to metal contact. If you have an extraction tool for the injector plug wires you can pop them out and...

Thanks for the help it's much appreciated. IAT is built into MAF on these but ambient air temperature is a bit tougher to figure out. That diagram is exactly what I needed. If I look up ambient air temperature sensor for this car it will actually show that there is one! Some mustang years do and...

Thanks RoninGT I'll go for round 2 inspection

Thanks Pentalab. It's looking like I'm going to have to buy a Haynes manual so I can reference some wiring diagrams to confirm that my 06 has a sensor or doesn't. I reference my live data on my scan tool and it definitely doesn't update instantly. I found a post that talked about the ECM...

I have torn the front of my car apart looking for an ambient air temperature sensor and have not found it. I have traced all wiring at the front end. Does the ECM use a table and not a sensor?

Sup Chris1 welcome. I just recently joined too and people are really helpful/knowledgeable.

Welcome to the club. I have BMR lowering springs on my 06 GT (1.5" lower all around) and I'd say you probably have the same.

Maybe it's an intermittent connection at the camshaft position sensor for that bank. That would be easy to check

Sup 07Boss so you have swapped coil packs, got a fresh spark plug, and verified fuel injector is working. I would suggest taking a look under the valve cover and see if there is excessive play at the 3 roller followers for cylinder #1.

If that is the correct plug you could backstick pin 1 w/multimeter set to DC- if there is voltage then ECM is showing dummy light I believe. I think it's worth a shot.

I just looked up those codes and P0022 is bank over retarded (unfortunately timing may have been set incorrectly on that bank). P2020 is dealing with IMRC (intake manifold runner control) so if you want take a look at the back of the intake manifold where IMRC rods/links connect and make sure...

Is it thick lingering white smoke or is the smoke visible and dissipates quickly? I have an 06 w/160,000 miles w/LT headers no cats and straight piped and I get a little white smoke even in warm weather. My engine DRINKS oil from driver's side PCV hose. I have also recently done the not so fun...

Thank you for your service.

I still have charge motion control plates that I can hear moving sometimes they are so clanky and I can hear air being sucked into them where the rod for the plates sticks out at the attach point on the back.

Agreed I'm getting an oil catch can for driver's side. I've considered removing PCV system but does that come w/risk of contaminating oil w/gas from the combustion mix that leaks past piston rings? I don't know how much of an effect that change would make.

Thanks Dino. I just recently did a timing job on my mustang at 160,000 miles and it runs great but man that was a job. I also replaced hydraulic lash adjusters and roller followers with the updated design that has smaller oiling holes to help the oiling system. My engine DRINKS oil through the...

Mine's a 2006 GT 5 speed (41st anniversary ha). 60 years is an accomplishment and the mustang name is patriotic.

Does an IAT of 115° at operating temp at idle sound right?

I say my engine is rich because commanded lambda in OL is .85-.98 while the fuel trims are these values (I have a Dyno tune so idle for me will be different than idle for you) but lean codes (+fuels trims) could be fuel, air intake/vacuum or lack of it, and spark I don't know for sure but I...

You can check STFT/LTFT at idle with a scan tool just to see what the ECM is giving the engine. My car has +22 LTFT at idle w/CAI and LT headers (straight pipe). It idles well though it's just SUPER RICH. It will also give me a low idle when I hit the clutch to come to a stop and I hit the...

Ok thanks yote0. Mine is in the wrong place. The reading is sluggish on AAT

At cold start At idle in OL warmed up At idle just after start up in CL CL at idle OL at idle getting up to temp OL commanded lambda at idle warmed up

Does ambient air temperature affect fuel tables/lambda commanded by the ECM? My car will command a lambda of .85 to .98 when it switches to open loop at idle and I'm not sure about AAT's role in determining what the ECU wants the engine to have so it will be happy/efficient.
