Hey guys I've had your Tune in for about 2 weeks now and i do love it !

But since having it installed I've had this problem happen twice.
Usually on a long drive (1 hour or 2) the spanner light will come up on my Mustang dashboard and it seems to be effecting my automatic gear box all most like it doesn't know what gear to be in or some sort of sensor is failing and its reaction to my throttle response is out of the window.

That being said if i pull over turn the car off then back on the problem disappear with the spanner check light.
i haven't used the diagnostic when this light has appeared because being on a trip its a very inappropriate time to mess with the car.

i feel there could be an error with the map I've installed ?

any help cheers Tom from south wales
