So after reading about the Gott's mod i decided to pull the trigger and do it figuring if i didnt like it, it would be easy to go back to stock. anyway after i installed everything and took it out for a test run i couldnt believe the diference it had made, but whenever i went to stop my truck wanted to stall out im just wondering if this is a common problem or not

 

Didnt experience this on my 01. Did you disconnect your battery and let the computer reset itself. Have read some about later trucks running lean, does this apply to your model????

 

eh no, mine didn't want to start until i unhooked the battery and reset the system.

 

Yea i did disconnect the battery and i have a 05 so im not sure if this applies to my year or not

 

Clean the MAF and throttle body.

 

my truck never did that. nor did my cousins husbands f150. I dont think it is common. but try cleaning the MAF and TB.that would probably be your best bet

 

leak after maf?

 

First what size motor are you talking about? if it's the 5.4 3 Valve try reading this link...https://www.f150online.com/forums/ar...3-f-150-a.html
post #6 states "the 3 valve motors require the tuner for the intake mods

I would recomend an Xcal2, Xcal3, gryphon or diablo with custom tunes for you and your truck VS canned tunes even though a tune would not be required to see benefits from this mod (you will see more increase with a tune)"

It is actually just the 04-05s with the 5.4 3v.


Hope this helps

 

I have a 05 4.6L with sct custom tunes already so i dont think that can be the problem

 

All the electronics plugged back in?? I had no issues when i did mine on my 97 or 04.

 

I actually pulled a K&N system off of my 05 with the 5.4 because of the lean problem frying my plugs. Did the Gotts mod and have not had any issues even without a CAI programmer .

 

with the 4.6 you should have been good. check all the connections to the hoses and wires, clean the TB and MAF. make sure the clamps are tight, other than that?? Just wondering... can you put your tune back to stock, run it and see what it does? If that cures it, disconnect the battery again, wait a bit, reconnect it and the reload your program. Just a thought...

 

The "Gotts" mod does not lead to a lean condition, it does not require a tune, it does not change the location of the MAF as related to air filter or TB ...
... all because it does keep the stock filter box, all it does is change the snorkle.

CAIs need some tuning because they change the air filter, housing, yubing, location of MAF as related to filter and TB. They change everything in front of the TB.

 

Well I have 59000 on my truck now , would it hurt to clean the tb and Maf with not that many miles on it. If so I will do it tomorrow and see what happens from there. And yes I can change it back to stock and try that also

 

Well after cleaning the MAF and TB i still have the problem that my truck wants to shut off when i stop in drive or reverse and im beginning to think that it could be my ideller pulley has any one had this problem and did it fix the problem
