RE: Mustang GT 2002

It's easy, Key will need to be cycled several times. Just follow instructions on the Predator, takes a few minutes ! Fan runs on mine & odometer reads all 0000000's kind of scary but I have done a couple of times. Just be sure battery is up, doors closed and everything else is off.

No problem ...

What I have read stated .98-1.0v for my 2002 GT, I had to open the holes in the new TPS I bought. Yes, adjusting the throttle plate stop also changes the TPS setting. My stock was .995 volts, as I checked before pulling the plenum. The throttle plate should just pass enough air with the IAC ...

RE: Mustang GT 2002

I needed to jack the rear up the full 16" of my jack & it took some manevering to get in over the axle. Other than that it was a breeze, just rotate for proper clearance & tighted it up. I think you will love the sound, unless you want to be abnoxious. A put in many hours or research and decided the ...

RE: Mustang GT 2002

The K&N fit well, the filter is easy to check, makes a little more noise, without a dyno who knows about HP. It should make it a little more responsive. I initally ordered the 14067 Borla but cancelled it . I didn't want it to over take the radio at 70 on the highway, or get a ticket for the noise ...

SETTING IDLE

I have 02 GT and 75mm Accufab Throttle body & plenum and have no problems. The screw on the throttle should not be adjusted to set idle. Idle is controlled by the computer if idle screw is set correctly (should have been that way when you got it) and Throttle Position Sensor is set to correct .98 ...

RE: Mustang GT 2002

I have 02 GT with K&N FIPI, Accufab plenum & throttle body also. I just installed Borla cat-back last weekend, not the Stinger model though. The fit was excellent & happy with the Borla. I had no troubles with the Predator. The main problem would be with adding another intake as many have a tendency ...

FYI : Emission Readiness Testing

Disconnecting battery, or dead battery, or installing performance, or reinstalling original factory tune, will also require the car to complete all OBD2 emission related tests. This can take several days to over a week depending on how and where, and how often you drive for all tests to complete ...

NO Predator tune will still be installed

No the only way is restore original tune with Predator ,or have it flashed at the Dealer. If flashed at the dealer previous to restoring original tune with the Predator the Predator will no longer work and have to have Diablo Sport reset it for you.

Disconnecting or a dead battery will only require ...

Gas mileage 2002 GT auto

Predator made no real difference in my mileage. I drive highway & get about 300 miles a tank or 21 - 24 mpg. I recommend the ScanGage by Linear Logic it shows MPG on the fly, per trip, per tank, per day and is very accurate especially once calibrated. Just plug into OBD2 port and leave in the car ...

RE: Re: OBD2 Emission Readyness

According to my ScanGage, OBD2 readyness test has completed while Predator performance flashed. Does this mean it will pass emission testing ? Have been driving conservatively due to my bike on the back & fog, but fuel mileage seems to have increased about 2 mpg if easy on the gas.
Scangage shows ...

RE: Re: OBD2 Emission Readyness

I was aware of the dealership thing and possible flashing at the dealer, thus locking me out of my Predator. The whole flashing thing still makes me nervous. Such as fan coming on, odometer blanking out, etc. Worry about it leaving my car disabled. I am cautious about power, a good battery, leaving ...

RE: Re: OBD2 Emission Readyness

Thanks, I just wanted to be prepared for emissions testing when it is time.
Too bad flashing original factory tune is a must.

RE: Re: OBD2 Emission Readyness

Just curious if anyone can explain why OBD2 readyness test will not complete when ECM is Predator Tune flashed.
Is it the flashing it's self, or are some emissions systems altered in their operation ?

No problems with MIL light coming on, yet !
2002 Mustang GT is stock except for Accufab 75mm Tbody ...

RE: Re: OBD2 Emission Readyness

Thanks, I know the engine to run under a variety of conditions for all OBD2 tests to complete. I just did know if they would complete with the Diablo Tune installed. I now know it won't . I also have the AutoTap Diagnostics for my laptop and can check all states of the Emissions Readiness Test. Just ...
