Hi,
I have a 2002 GT with a 1.7L 6PSI Kenne Bell blower. It puts down 300/340 HP/TQ at the rear wheels. It drives real nice. The drivetrain is stock but for 3.90:1 gears. Last year I flunked smog because my computer failed to complete all the OBD-II self tests. The sniffer portion was fine. I contacted Kenne Bell, got a new chip, and was told to drive the car until the P1000 code went away. Well, it hasn't. I contacted two Ford dealers and they said Kenne Bell's chip is preventing the computer from completing its self-diagnostics. The tech said the computer needs to store the self-test data and Kenne Bell's program is interfering with that storage, hence the P1000 trouble code. I also ran a Powertrain Dynamics custom tune via a Predator, but it also generated a P1000 code that would not go away. BTW, the install was done correctly, 100% per Kenne Bell's instructions.
It seems that Kenne Bell does not know how to fix this issue. Neither does Powertrain Dynamics. Can comeone help me? Any help will be greatly appreciated.
