Idling high, hesitation between 2nd and 3rd gear and throttle bodies don't seem to be in sync. If anyone can get it fixed I know Charlie can. The only difference is that the computer that controls everyone stayed with the car when the engine went back to Roush. I wouldnt think anything during shipping should change the motor, but any ideas why when hooking it back to the computer, why the change in how it runs? As much as I love this engine when it is running right, I wish I would of waited until they got the problems sorted out with this motor before I bought it.

I would think that you should have sent the computer back with the engine. This is what controls the motor. If your computer was at fault before you sent he engine back, why would it not be the problem now? They should be able to send you the program thru an email to your engine guy to reprogram the computer or at least send the computer back to Roush and have them redo the program. Resync the throttle bodies isn't too difficult. Whom are you working with now at Roush? Since Todd has left.
