a little while ago my car was getting bad milage and it felt like it was down on hp like a dead cyl
the guys at ford treated me like im an idiot and like i dont know what im talking about
so enter G-Tech Pro
after some calibration it turns out my car was putting down a whopping 75whp
this confirms my predictions.... so i took it back to the dealership and complained about the bad milage and lack of power (not that it has any power to start out with) and again "Your car is running fine" and "we know what we are talking about.....we are the mechanics..."
so i told them that it was down one cyl and they passed it off as "some dumb kid who doesnt know what he is talking about" so i handed them the printout and told them to fix it. turns out a clip on the throttle cabe broke and the cable fell down under the #3 sparkplug wire and every time you powered into it the engine would torque back and lift the #3 sparkplug wire off of the coil pack which led to a corroded connection. so under normal circumstances it would arc and run on 3.5 cyl then when foot down it went to 3 cyl....

needless to say after that they dont argue with me about anything that is wrong with my car especailly after i called them morons and told them that i know more about their product than they do lol i was mad
