f150 Ecoboost working horrible

Post by 2013fx4 »

just installed the MPG Booster tune (intune) on my 2012 F150 ecoboost and it works horrible. when i put it to the floor it spits and sputters, blows black smoke and goes nowhere. 1st installed tune on this vehicle. Everything "supposedly" installed successfully.... HELP!!
Firmware version 1r04e

Update* installed the factory tune to the vehicle. going to swap in the new sp-534 plugs. Seems they are the first thing to troubleshoot.

So I finally got to change my plugs on the weekend, still having issues tho.... It still stuttering and blowing black smoke on the 91 tune (WOT). So on the 87 and mpg tune it just stutters on WOT kinda seems like it's starving for fuel... Cutting in and out. Stock tune everything works fine. Any ideas?? Hoping I didn't waste my money and cannot use this tuner.

It's not starving for fuel at all. According to the computer it's doing as it should be so that leaves mechanical. Check the gap on the plugs. Intercooler (Had TSB done?) Have catch cans? Picking up knock like the gas is from costco or something.

Other than that there is nor issue with the boost nor the fuel.
