Guys, it may be too soon to say for sure but I wanted to throw this out here in case anyone else had extra info or was having this same issue.
My Raptor shift light started lighting at 3,000 rpms when I would leave home with the car cold. It is set for 6,000. Running it up to 4,000 rpms once or a few times would usually return the shift light to proper operation. I've been asking around but no one I talked with [including Rick from Raptor] had heard of this happening.
Recently I blew a plug out of my passenger head. It took the coil pack out with it. Shelby Guy repaired the head with an insert and I bought a set of used coil packs from Matt [DSG03COBRA]. He had 1 bad coil pack and bought a new set. I figured I bought 7 good ones and 1 bad one.
Matt and I started talking and I discovered that he, too, had the problem of the Raptor lighting early. After discussing this, our thinking is that a bad coil pack or problems with spark plug blow by affecting my coil pack may be what was responsible for the Raptor shift lights lighting early. It's only been a few days but so far with the replacement coil packs both of our shift lights are once again working properly. I have not had the early lighting at all since I swapped the coil pack [and put in new plugs].
Has anyone else experienced their Raptors lighting early and if so, what did you find out?
