[QUOTE="Mojo88, post: 16459233, member: 184279"] My car is same type of setup. When I bought it (3 years ago) I failed emissions because of same issues as you.... monitors would not set. I took to local tuner and he put a tuning device of some sort in the OBD port (I was not paying enough attention to see the exact device). Anyway, he checked on the device and then confidently said "your monitors need to set themselves, you gotta keep driving, just keep driving".... so I drove for about 250 miles, still no reset, I went back to him and he had no answer.... he said to keep driving. Now this is an experienced Mustang tuner, that's all they do, is work on Mustangs. I was disappointed and confused that he could not solve this. So then I asked around (on the forum here) for another tuner in Northeast and luckily found Pete in New Hampshire. I called him up and he laughed at my story. Pete IMMEDIATELY said, "the monitors are off in the tune". I was shocked, but pleased that someone had an answer. I took the car to Pete and he turned on the monitors, and saved that tune on SCT so I could reload as necessary for inspection. I then proceeded to follow the Ford Drive Cycle guidelines, and within 20 miles all the monitors were set and I passed the emissions with flying colors. It helps if you follow the official 'drive cycle' protocol listed on this page: [URL="http://www.obdii.com/drivecycleford.html"]Ford Motor Company Driving Cycle[/URL] Moral of the story... don't assume the monitors are turned on in the tune. Somehow the first tuner I went to thought they were on, when they weren't. You may be getting fooled in a similar manner. Good luck! You will solve it. Call Pete if worse comes to worse. He does work remotely, if needed. [/QUOTE]
