My 2001 requires a complete "drive cycle" which takes a good hour to accomplish. You reconnect the battery. Let the car idle until the engine is warm (agout 10 min,) turn on the A/C high and let idle for a couple minutes, then turn all accy's back off for a couple minutes and idle again (to let it relearn it's idle) Then you drive freeway speed for a minimum of 10 minutes, stop and let it idle for a minute and then do four 5 minute stop and go city type drive cycles with a one minute plus idle cycle between each. Once you start this you cannot turn off the engine till your through. I have made many mods and "re-started the computer numerous times and gone thru the "drive cycle" routine at least 3 times, but never did it start up and have the problems yours is having. Check everything you did and re-check it again. Your IAC? Did you short and fry the puter? <br /> </font> </td></tr> <tr bgcolor="#dedfdf"> <td valign="top" width="18%"> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> <b>quickV6stang</b> <br /><small>Member # 1061</small> </font></td> <td width="82%"> <font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial"> <img src="https://californiafords.com/ubb/posticon.gif" border="0" alt=" - " /> posted <script language="JavaScript1.3" type="text/javascript"> document.writeln(timestamp(new Date(2002,7,16,9,35,0), dfrm, tfrm, 0, 0, 0, 0)); </script><hr /> </font> <font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial"> that sounds like one hell of a process we wouldnt have to do 8 times, so i think were on different levels.
