    Gen3 Coyote going into limp mode

    Hi all - I've swapped a Gen3 Coyote Aluminator Crate motor in my 2008 Mustang. The only changes I made to the motor are:
    ? Removed the charge motion control valve (so the engine would fit) and added the MMR delete lockout kit.
    ? Added American Racing Headers for exhaust
    ? Added JLT series 2 cold air kit

    I did get help with the tune, with some dyno pulls. The engine runs great until it goes into limp mode.

    Any suggestions what to look for in the data logs to determine where to look for the issue? I've attached the current tune and a scan of both a good and bad pull.

    Thanks for the reply. I'm new to this information and learning as I go. The mapped points in the image you shared is the same as the original configuration from Ford. Should all the points be enabled?

    Look under the IMRC tab. 0-13 are for closed position. 14-26 are for open. If you have them locked open, well....

    The IMRC switch is disabled, so would the IMRC configuration still be needed? Or should they all be shown as open

    If 0-13 are used for when the IMRC is closed, and you now have them open 100% of the time, then 14-26 would need to be used, since they're always open now.
    If you aren't familiar with the basics of the mapped point system in Ford's logic, then tuning this thing may become difficult unless you have someone give you all the information. Basically, make you a tune. It's more complex than just removing the hardware and "turning them off" in the tune.
    Easy base route would be Disable mapped points 0-13 and re calibrate all the distance tables to use MP 14-26. Thats where you should start.
