Check Engine lights after Predator tune

Post by Tombstone997 »

I installed the 87 octane predator tune on my V6 mustang and i keep getting check engine codes for running rich/stuck rich on both o2 sensor banks, the cruise control stops working as well. when i restore to factory settings everything works with no check engine lights. no mods on the car. Please help

even if i only modify the stock tune and try to turn up the fuel to air ratio a tiny bit to account for my cold air intake as soon as i takeoff the car acts funny then i get a check light for that same "unknown" code...

Still not resolved. Car runs flawlessly until tune is loaded.
