Hmmmm. Lots of inconsistencies with pinging so far. Yes (for one cycle) with a catch can but 91 octane. Yes (for one cycle) with a catch and 93. No with no catch and 93. No with catch and 93. Yes with no catch and 93.
I'm thinking that the PCM has to learn and they all ping for the first drive cycle, just some are more sensitive to hear it than others. From there, the catch can OR 93 octane keep it from coming back. Only flaw with this thought is that GT5 is running 93 and still hearing it, even after turning octane adjust on. ****, I'm really starting to wonder/worry about this tunes completion.

Other Mods: 3" Mandrel cat-back with chambered mufflers and X-pipe
Additional Comments: This engine also has the infamous "ignitor tick" issue prior to the tune, that has not yet been diagnosed. This concern is now present at idle with lopey idle engaged. Never before had the "tick" at idle, that is a new concern since the day the tune was installed. Running 5w-50 full synthetic oil and RELIGIOUSLY run Chevron 91 octane, cleared CEL after 100-mile mark, car ran great and no codes for a few hundred more miles and 4 days, drove both hard and easy in that time, now CEL comes back just about every day, seems to do better/stays off longer when driving hard versus easy. Cats definitely smelled for first few days. Smell has subsided. Audible pinging when rolling hard into throttle now (Did not ping for the first few hundred miles.) Have not yet changed back to stock tune to compare, have not had cats tested yet.

Wishful thinking I'm sure but I'm curious if Ford has a large batch of borderline catalytic converters, and maybe the Track Key and Track Cal is the straw that breaks the camel's back here.
Curious to see if those of us that have our cats replaced by Ford have a recurring problem or not. I've seen a few reports of Bosses that had cats replaced and I believe no recurring issues. ...Time to start following the Boss forums a bit closer.

Sorry Ray I was out of town on a business trip. My car has gotten the CEL (3) times now. All (3) times were mixed driving, a little back roads cruising, some highway and city stop and go. The first time I got the CEL was showing off the lopey idle for some friends. The 2nd time I was not even using Trackey and 3rd time was again showing off the lopey idle feature. When the lopey idle is doing its thing you can really smell the difference in the exhaust.
Dealer says the cats are bad but they are on back-order. They also said mine isn't the only one with this issue.

The cats should not be bad. All of our testing shows the cats are not being damaged. It is a flase code.

There will be an updated calibration that will take care of the false codes for cats. The cats are not being damaged.
Please send me an email with full name, VIN and shipping address, when the new cal is released I wil make sure everyone receives it. Not everyone will see these codes but we want everyone to get the new cal to make sure you dont ever have these codes.
These engines are known for oil pullover through the passenger PCV and when that happens the octane is reduced. This is where the PING comes from. An oil seperator on the passenger side will get rid of the oil in the intake manifold.
My direct email is rherron9@ford.com
Thanks, Ray

Also by shutting off the sensors in the update, how will the owner know if they really do have a cat issue one day?
I have to be honest. As a tuner for almost 10 yrs, this sounds like an irresponsible solution.

Ray if people are smelling the cats and the sensors are saying its bad after repeated reset and diagnostic, how could this be false? It's not like a knock sensor going off from another sound. These people are smelling the deterioration first hand.
Also by shutting off the sensors in the update, how will the owner know if they really do have a cat issue one day?

The tune does run richer at idle in lopey idle mode. That is what is being smelled. The codes are from a timed monitor in the PCM not completeing when it should.

Sorry, missed the part about shutting off the sensors. We are not shutting off any sensors with the updated calibration. Our cals are emissions legal and all functions still work. The fix they are making is a production issue with the timer on the monitor, it will not be shut off.

Also what about the few that experience a/c issues?
