I just got my SCT tuner the other day and uploaded the street tune to start. Since then, twice my car has jolted back and forth a few times if floored it. I just wanted to test the difference and it resulted in back and forth jumps. After the first time It smelled like something was burning or burnt, but that went away within a couple of mins. obviously i got a little nervous but that was the only time for that. It jolted again today but no smell. It doesnt always do that but it happened twice and I wanted to see if thats normal or whats going on.



I added some 93 today and waiting for the rest of the 87 to burn off then I can try the race tune :winks

Maybe the traction control.............the smell is probably the rubber of your tires on the ground because you r doing burnouts now!:bigthumbsup

it seemed fine when i took it out tonight. It just didnt catch right away because it spun the tires out! Im surprised im getting burnouts now with just the street tune. i cant imagine whatll happen when i try the race tune!:smilie

I takes all I have in me not to constantly roast the tire, I have a manual trans. I have to be easy on the gas and clutch or it's burnout time. :winks

Do you have TC? The first thing I do when I get in is Turn off the TC and OD, having them both on makes a Big Difference in how the Tune Acts. Neither the TC or OD is turned off in a Tune, you have to do it yourself, they do it this way so you will be able to use either of them if needed.
But the Jerking is'nt normal and should'nt happen, mabey you should call Bama and talk with one of their Tuners, also the smell of something Burning is not good unless it's comming from your back Tires:gringreen

Does turning off OD make a big enough difference. why is it always on in the first place?

I guess they have the OD on all the time for better Econmy and Gas Mileage, the TC on for in case you need it in Wet or Snowy Weather. I think they both should have been OFF all the time and left up to the Owner to Turn them On when needed.
Having the OD off will let the Engine run at a Higher RPM so you get a quicker running Mustang with it off. The TC holds you back from Spinning the Tires and who knows what else it does when it's On to the Power Train, all I know it My 93 Tune Runs Much Better with them Both Off:bigthumbsup
I did take My Mustang for a Cruise on the Thruway the other day so I could blow some Dust out of the Motor:gringreen With the OD Off I was doing 70mph and running at 3,000 R's, with it On it was about 2200 R's. Doing 80+ mph with the OD Off the R's were above 3200. She Ran Beautiful but the Gas Mileage Sucked! For Playing Around I'd Turn off the OD, for Longer Drives and Trips I'd definately leave it On:winks
