Here's to a successful outcome :thumb:

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

The car sat at the dealer for 6 hours before finally I called. The service guy told me the foreman took it for a drive but couldn't get it to replicate the symptoms.

I tried holding back my anger. How do you let a car sit that long before telling the owner. They want me to give him a ride tomorrow to replicate what I was feeling.

Well I wrote one of only maybe 3 negative reviews I've ever written. That experience with Ford was unbelievable. But I digress.

I think I am going to throw the tune back in and make sure I have tc off and let the trans learn for a little while. I know without a shadow of a doubt that the transmission is acting funny but I'm running out of ideas. I really can't even drive it to its full potential because it just shutters and won't shift properly.

If I continue to keep having issues I'll try another dealer.

Did you take a drive with the foreman?  They probably drove it with kid gloves on.  Try to replicate the conditions exactly, ambient, warmed up/warming up etc.

This may not be the problem, but easy to check for chaffed knock sensor wiring:

I drove the service writer and some tech around. Not the foreman.

I got it to replicate the problems. Harsh downshifts. Not shifting and skipping around. The tech immediately said "misfire".
I politely disagreed but he didn't like that. He said it was probably spark plugs. I informed him I changed them out. He then said it was probably carbon tracks in the boots.


Anyways I checked the knock sensors wires and they were good.

Ok so I finally have some good news to report.

Installed the tune this morning and just cruised around for a little while without really getting on it. After a little bit of that I got on it at a few different speeds and it didn't do anything out of the ordinary.

I think I am going to do my thermostat tonight and do some datalogging.

I have to say I am pretty impressed with the power. I am sure once its fine tuned it will be even better.

Ok so here's an update. I swapped in the 170 tstat and took her for a drive.

I noticed it doing the same hesitation thing it was doing before.

I gave it the beans from a stop and before I even changed gears it was chugging and acting like it was either flooded or something. Just fell on its face until I let out of it.

Knock sensor wires are good. New 534 plugs at .30.
91 Oct from chevron.

Are you near Phoenix?   If so,  ask 4DRHTRD if he recommends a shop or dealer.

There are a couple of TSBs that may fit the bill:

Transmission Range Selector or Valve Body modification.

Alternate possibility is the TSS/OSS sensor combo.

PCM calibration up to date?  If you do get an update at the dealer, with a new strategy code, get your tune updated as well.

Well that is an awesome call on the strategy code. I honestly did not even think of that.

And today for the first time it did that slipping thing in first then jerking into gear. Couldn't replicate it though.

I got an updated tune from torrie for the 170 and 3bar, this thing is definitely a different beast from stock.
