    Is this common in these motors? A little history on this truck. It's an 01 sport with an 08 SOHC motor from a Mustang. The motor had about 12k on it when I installed it last year and I put roughly 30k miles on it since then. Ever since the motor swap I always had a rough idle that seemed to...

I tried swapping and cleaning MAF sensors, swapping coil packs, fuel and air filter. There is no CEL...

    What electronics run through the GEM Module?

    I have a lot of electrical issues, the GEM got wet at one point so I am curious as to what exactly runs through the GEM Module. All my fuses are good even the ones under the hood. I am replacing the GEM tomorrow if the JY still has the Ex I need it from. By the way my Ex is a 2001 Sport.
