Re: CEL - "random misfire" (recurring)
I just wanted to add to this thread. On 10-11-12 I bought a 13 Boss # 1491 GTHIG! (I traded in my 2012 Lava Red GT 5.0 w/ Brebmo PKG for it as I wanted a bad ass daily driver). I Missed my 2003 Cobra Convertible and thought this was the Best Option going for the money as a GT500 is a bit more than I need… Want... Well that's a different story. Also I would like to add I not only have a good relationship with my dealer, I have worked in Ford Sales here since 1996. With that said I take extra good care of my daily drivers.
I did the low RPM break in for 1200 miles on the Boss for my daily drive 15 miles to work and home. Read as much as I could find on what you all were doing to your Boss Mustangs. I bought the track Key, removed the resistor plates (sounds like a Boss Should) and had the Red key Ford Racing program installed Nov 30th. Yes it’s cold here in Seattle but what the heck I drove it home and back to work the next day with the Red Key. After a week I noticed it sputtered, went into Limp mode I coasted for a 100 feet and back came the throttle and off to work I went. This happened 2 days in a row and the CEL stayed on solid so I told this to my Service Guy. For the Record I work in Ford Sales and have been at the dealership since 96 and so has my service writer. He had his best Tec call Ford Racing told not to do the reset. I then was told to use Chevron Fuel and drive it harder for a couple days to see what it would do. With 1/2 a mile away from the shop it did it again. They cleared it and said they would get back to me. This was before X-mass. The TSB mentioned in this thread was out 12-12-12. After a week the light went out so I used the Red Key again. The CEL light came on Limp mode... coast then light went off. The CEL is on Solid again. Today I asked about this again and they said most cars affected after doing this TSB are having reoccurring issues. Once I get mine fixed, I will let you all know what the NEW Idea is to fixing the Limp Mode roll and CEL issues.
