I had my local shop installed a Stage 3 Exedy clutch and trowout bearing in my 2011 Mustang GT 6M. The flywheel was just resurfaced. Anyways the car felt great for the first week as I went through the break in period, no issues at all.
After the breaking period I was pushing the car a bit past 4k through a few gears when the car started to misfire. The engine light blinked a few times and then it went away. After reading on the forums, I came upon a thread stating that the car needed the "Misfire Monitor Neutral Profile Correction Procedure or MMNPC. After that I went to the dealer and explained them what I needed done, the receptionist quickly requested a technician. As I was explaining to the technician what I needed done, he quickly stated that my car needed the "KAM" reset or Keep Alive Memory reset.
Once again I informed him that I was told that my car needed the Misfire Monitor Neutral Profile Correction Procedure done or MMNPC which was the last step in Ford service manual for clutch installation which required IDS software using a VCM. The technician quickly told me that such process was the same as doing a KAM reset but other technicians call it something else but it was all the same process.
To keep things short, I trusted the technician and let them do the job. I picked up the car a few hours after.
So far I have been driving the car for about 20 miles. the engine light blinked a few times as I took the car to freeway speeds and once again when I pushed the car above 4k during street driving. I am thinking this is all part of the "KAM" learning curve and once the process is done I am sure those problems will disappeared.
However I am still under the impression that after the KAM relearn period my car might still need the "MMNPC" procedure done as it was never performed as requested. Unless Ford incorporated the MMNPC procedure into their "KAM" process I am afraid my issue is yet to be resolved.
If someone can chime in some light in this matter it would be greatly appreciated.
