As mentioned in a previous post, I suspected traction control first and tried turning it off completely with no luck.

Rock chip while trailering... that sucks! Now you know why I put 3M film on the front including the bumper.

I am not familiar with Sebring, were there any tight left hand corners and if so were you pushing the car hard in those corners?

As mentioned in a previous post, no codes all weekend.

[QUOTE=canadianboss;6092820]I bought my car from Woodridge (same owner) because Advantage had 4 people on the waiting list and were only getting 3 cars. I got the first Boss from Woodridge, their second one I do not think comes until September. I was fortunate to get my car so early so I didn't miss this years race season. We may be without a track next year which I will not be happy about.

Unfortunately for you the series I run in is called Time Attack and is organized by the Calgary Sports Car Club. They require all new drivers to attend a two day school at the beginning of the year in order to compete in the series. I would love to see more Mustangs in the series! If the track is still open next year hopefully you could join us.

Hump in the middle what an understatement. I had the car on the hoist yesterday (more brake work and tire rotation) and had a look at the fuel tank. It appears to me that there are basically two fuel tanks because the driveshaft goes right between them. The tanks are all shrouded in plastic so it is very difficult to see anything in the way of where the fuel pump is mounted etc.. The fuel tank design is very interesting to say the least.

I am hoping that Cloud9 is able to respond to this thread because I think he has as much track time as anyone on this forum and I would be interested to see if he has experienced this issue.

Check out this link to Ford 2011 service manuals. There is a lot of info on the 2011 fuel system including pdf files with the tank, fuel pump and pickups.

Thanks Moscow Boss! I have quite a slow internet connection right now but I will definitely check into this info later on.

It's a saddle tank same as the 05-09 cars.

****! you are a true enthusiast! Im shut down for the summer; way too hot out there for me!

2012YellowBoss

At least one or two hard left, two double apex lefts and one long left high speed turn. Here it is



Yea buddy it was hot out there but with HOD we got to use the garages at no cost Even had the space for the hauler next to it Daytona soon

Yes and there are two maybe three pumps, I forget exactly how many cross feed pumps one or two.

Just curious, when you say "traction control", do you mean stability control also. They are both different. Stability control will also take power away from the engine. To shut both off you have to hold the TC button down for 5 second while holding down the brake pedal. Lets hope its not a fuel delivery problem... I would hate to have to show my dealer when it acts up!

Scott, great video. Next time mount the camera on the left rear quarter panel so we can hear the exhaust and shifting. Nice job and some pretty smooth driving.

2012YellowBoss

Thanks, good to see you still around here ol' timer thought you went the way of stillintense Hope you have been enjoying the Boss as much as I have.

I have one vid on the quarter window but they are nothing more then wind noise. I have to remember to bring the mount for the inside one day as that is the only way to get any sound other then wind. I did not even bother to take out the 7/8 discs this time, I drive the car way under it's capabilities anyway. Thanks for the comments, I did do some slipping and sliding out there but managed to stay on the track this time.

Here is one from another car of the Boss


Edit quarter view

Swoope

thanks for that,

it is the same set up as the mazda rx8..

so my best guess as this is the first time it has popped up is your pump might be weak..

i did get the fuel cut at sebring. i forget what corner # is was, there are so many.

so your guys have two one of issues right now, this, and the odd missfire into the limp mode.. tech says it was the crank sensor.

Hey Dale, just got back from BIR this weekend so this is the first I've seen on this thread. I've got 6 track days in the Boss now and all have been pushing pretty hard. I haven't encountered this issue. We have always run the track clockwise so more rights than lefts, but still have several either tight left handers or long sweeping ones. In fact there's a 180 between two straights on one of the tracks that I've run two days now and I would think the issue would have surfaced there. I've always been leery of fuel levels in both the GT500 and the Boss (same tank far as I can tell). With the supercharged GT500 I was really worried about running lean so I tended to keep the fuel level high at the track. I never run below 1/4 even on the street. I usually start my sessions in the Boss around 3/4 and the lowest I've ever gotten was 1/4. However, I usually only run it full during the first session since I trailer to the track with a full tank. Likewise I bring 5 five gal gas cans to the track with me so I can fill there and refill the cans in the evening.

This weekend I did not encounter the random misfire issue. The curbing/rumble strips for the most part are smooth at BIR though. I was banging them routinely so that seems to validate engineering's finding that the P0300 is caused by vibrations transmitted through the drivetrain to the crankshaft.

As far as our tanks go on the S197, there has been a consistent issue with fill ups. I have to hold the nozzle at 90 degrees and only insert about halfway when filling up the GT500. I can only go to the first click on the pump handle as well or it will vapor lock and shoot fuel out clicking off the pump. The Boss seems to fill a little better, but I still only go to the first click. There seems to be an issue with the flow on how the fill tube has to be routed through the chassis. I'll be watching this thread with interest though.

That's really interesting. I've always been annoyed at my car, which wouldn't seem to allow me to use the auto-fill clicks at some pumps. I thought maybe a vent line was crimped or something.

2012YellowBoss

Gary don't know if you had to time to watch the vids of mine, Sebring is pretty rough and the rumble strips are very rough. I did not hit them all but I did cross over many with no issues.

cloud9

Yea it's just an annoyance I guess. I did see a class action lawsuit was actually filed at some point which I thought was a bit much. Not sure what ever became of that, but as an attorney you might have some insight. The Boss definitely takes fuel better than the GT500 and hasn't been a real issue as long as you don't go full throttle on it. Only adds a minute to the fill-up time.

cloud9

Not sure what to say on that. Given that I had the issue on four separate occasions and Dave did as well, along with the response from engineering tells me it's an issue in the tune that they must be aware of. I'm not too worried about it, but something that will need to get fixed. Of course the best fix for it is TracKey

dean_acheson

Seriously, I am glad to know this isn't just me. Normally I just have to restart and pump manually, at about 1/2 speed.
