Re: turning off lopey idle - small discrepancy in instruction dealer version 2.2

Had the Track Key installed yesterday by Campbell Ford, Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. No issue with it as I felt the lopey idle shortly after I drove off. On a 30 miles run (25 miles hwy), felt like back in 70's. Car shaking a bit, detonation, couple backfires when slowing down, just like the good old 70's. Yes, it does kick in very shortly after driving off and it will bling in display.

Now I am back driving the grey key. I personaly find lopey idle fun for driving around town and slow cruises, where u could rumble it, old style (a bit anyway). Once on the hwy, another story.

Since I do mostly hwy, I'll keep the track key for lapping.

Now for discrepancy.

Dealer Instructions, para 27 and 30. PCM File name listed is for 2012. 2013 have different one. They had to contact Ford Perf to get that info. Ford plse take note and reissue instructions under version 2.3 with corrected info

2012 - (listed) CR3A-SEMABM-5BC

2013 (Not listed) DR3A-SEMABM-5BB

Pass the info to your tech if u r getting the key installed on 2013.

Took longer than one hour, but got charged only 1 hr.
