THIS is what I like about you! As I've mentioned a few times here, I'm a Retired Ford Tech and Driveability Specialist. Back in the 80's, we had to DIAGNOSE Problems! Pinout Checks, Breakout Boxes, and often lots of disassembly and inspection - before we actually got to the root cause. (MUCH harder on EEC III and IV Vehicles!!!)😖 From what I've seen of Techs today - most of them operate by pure Procedure... Scan, work through the Manual (maybe), even something as archaic as pulling Coil Pack Plugs - to try to find misfires! If they do find anything - "Could not replicate customer concern" on the Ticket - and off to the Writer!!! 😠 I've seen it from Friend's experiences. WE WEREN'T ALLOWED to do that! You actually WORK the problem, like we used to do. I really appreciate that integrity still exists! Carmine ✈🚂🚙

I'm in the motor City and we don't do emissions here so she's now a 400hp unleashed beast. Off loading all that crap I have the car down to 3350lbs and ultimate sleeper status. 408 stroker with a 150 shot next. Upgraded rear, trailing arms, 2002 brakes and spindles. It was fun to build and only happens because the eec 2 and variable Venturi carb had to go. At 42k miles it was rough running to say the least.

Great video showing classic logical diagnostic sequencing of an issue especially when there are no codes set. It is amazing how the best mechanics that produce videos on KZbin all have very similar steps they follow that, one by one, eliminates potential causes of the issue until there is only one left. Funny how this consistency in diagnostic techniques is so similar. I don't think it is a coincidence! All new mechanics should watch you, Eric O. and scanner Danner at the very least to lay a good foundation of being a vehicle diagnostician rather than a parts changer with a powerful parts cannon. Good job!!

Hey, I have watched all of your videos and I can't remember any where you talked about a "carbon issue". You kept saying "carbon issue" and I kept thinking "what is he talking about?" It took until the very end of the video for me to realize that you meant carbon buildup on the intake valves. And, you seemed very confident, but the problem was on 2 and 4 but you said the PCV enters at 2 and 3. So, really looking forward to the next video to understand what the real problem was. The diagnostics were great. But I didn't see a real solution at the end. Love your channel, keep it going.

My 2013 Escape with the 2.0 liter Ecoboost engine was missing badly from 2000 to 4000 rpm. No error codes. The engine has been dealer serviced every 5000 miles and now has 120,000 miles. I put in new Iridium plugs at 100,000 miles. Lately, I have been driving short trips only and the engine sputters when accelerating. I decided to replace the spark coils. The engine runs 90% better. I used Motorcraft coils, because I hear that some other brands may cause radio interference. They are easy to replace in an hour. The cost of about $220 seems worth it, and Rock Auto got them to me in 3 days. I'm still getting some burble noise from the exhaust system near the cats or turbo. My mileage has improved too. So it seems true that the "coil on plug" coils do get weak after 100,000 miles.

Repeated the process many times until the valves were much cleaner. Couldn’t get them to factory new by the massive carbon buildup was gone. Than I installed a mishimoto catch can.

Are there any known examples of 300,000 miles on one of these EcoBoost engines? I wish Ford still made the straight 6, 300 CID motor. It was a workhorse good for .5MM miles easy. Today they take these small displacement engines and run them very high RPM and I just can't see them lasting 200k or 300k miles. Reminds me of when we went to the Bic lighter - use it and destroy it. Love your work brother. Keep up the good work.

With original equipment? Likely no. The Turbo's are only rated for about 150K miles, and MANY don't make it to 100K...ask me how I know...yea..$3K total repair bill, turbo's weren't bad (price wise, about $700 each which isn't bad considering Ford used to pay $3500 EACH for them a few years ago), but the manifold is shot on one bank and has to be replaced as well. I know people with 500K miles on Ecoboost engines, but they've changed out the Turbo's.

You should test drive a ecoboost sometime. They don't have to Rev high. They all make their max output power before 3,000 RPM's! We have a 1.6 ecoboost in the fire escape. Full torque at just over 2000 rpm. It rarely revs to 6k. And I have 3 5 V6 ecoboost in my F-150. At 70MPH it stays in overdrive on the big mountain grades at just 2,000 rpm. You can't do that with a non turbo V8. Not in a Chevy, dodge etc. My ecoboost in the truck shifts well before 6000 rpm. It pulls hard at just 3000.

Ethanol is just a fancy word for alcohol, it leans out the mixture and therefore causes a misfire when cold in my ST. I've confirmed it several times. The engine needs to be warm before it goes away. The only time I'll put ethanol in the tank is when I'm on the highway all the time. To solve the issue I fill up with ethanol free fuel at a co-op.

Great vid. I have a 2015 also. You did a video about six years ago on catch cans for ecoboost motors. I run radiums on both sides. My valves are like new. Im sure that if you look at the valves they have all kinds of build up. Walnut blasting will fix it. Most people that have performance di cars do it. VW, BMW, etc. all the same problem. Misfire due to carbon build up. All that carbon doesnt allow the right amount of air flow for proper combustion and the ecus are very sensitive. Great vid as always!!!

Plug gap is a big factor when it comes to the ST and RS. 0.026-0.028 is usually the best gap to run since the gap expands over time. Purge Valve also is another culprit to look at replacing since these are known to seize up over time.

When the 1.6s came out I experienced this at the dealership. Had a car with a misfire on start but could never get it to misfire after warm. After looking at Freeze frame data it only did it on initial startup. I finally talked the customer into leaving it. I pressure tested the cooling system with the engine cold, pulled the plug and scoped the cylinder. Sure enough a head gasket leak could be observed as a tiny droplet formed and started running down the cylinder wall coming from in between the head and deck. Tore it down and ford ended up sending a long block.

I'll be watching this as well. I have 91K on mine. Mine starts good when it's cold and rich. Most of the misfires start right after the initial rich idle starts to lean out and the idle just starts to waver on coming down. Kinda bounces a little before the final drop off and true idle. Then maybe a few misfires after a warm idle is reached but then cleans up after operating temp is reached. Just like this engine is doing but not quite this bad of a miss...yet.

Have a 2017 escape. Wife happened to mention one day that when she first started it ran kinda rough then smoothed out pretty quick. Next thing, she told me little wisps of white smoke came out of tailpipes at startup. Hmmm, checked antifreeze and it was low, reservoir was almost empty. Topped it off, checked oil. All was good. Oil was clean. Then check engine light popped on few days later. Scanned and pull error P0302. Changed the #2 plug and cleared codes. No more light. Is it time to sell? Car has less than 25k miles.

We switched to 2018 Ford Escape SEs for our 5 regional managers back in '18, with the 1.5L EcoBoost. All serviced by the nearby Ford dealer. One of the them has had issues with loss of power and rough shifting for about 18 months but dealer always said couldn't find anything. Earlier this month, when it lost power again while driving, dealer diagnosed a bad transmission with an estimate of $7700 to replace. At 89k miles!!! We're done with Fords at this point. It's utterly ridiculous that a modern vehicle transmission would go out at 89k.

Tip/s: What if you applied a can of Intake Valve Cleaner, maybe that will help those carboned up valves to seat better. I did that to my Ford Ranger XLT 4.0L and the guy who did the emissions tests at the Ford Dealership say the results were really good for a truck with 174, 000 miles on it. I too use Seafoam to a full tank of gas at times for the injectors, and use 5 ounces of Seafoam in the oil crankcase 50 miles before a oil and filter change and add it to a fresh oil change too. It helps things like the push rods, rod guides, and rocker arm lubrication & etc. It frees things up. Well, the engine is quiet and purrs at 174,000 miles anyway because of it. Also install a new radiator cap to assure not to overpressure the cooling system. If you shut off the engine and get gas bubbles in the antifreeze reservoir, you probable have a head gasket leaking. If you can't find a vacuum leak, replace the inexpensive EGR & PCV Valve to eliminate those. I had my truck for 19 years, I know a little bit that helps it run. Take your vehicle out the road and blow the carbon out of it the old timers would say. I take my truck out the highway and hit the passing gear a few times, ... you know, hit the gas pedal to the floor and let it down shift (passing gear).

From my understanding of the EcoBooost engines, there is a small amount of exhaust push-back into the intake runner because of the way the engine's valves are timed to make large amounts of horsepower. Because of that, and because of cylinder gas direct injection, there is no injector to provide gas spray cleaning on the backside of the valve. So, hot gases deposit themselves on the backside of the intake valves and the intake head chambers and condense and build up as carbon deposits. That makes the engine oil changes crucial to the life and proper running of these engines. BMW engines have the same problem and BMW has a method that uses walnut shells to remove carbon build-up on the intake cylinder ports and valves. in a sand-blaster-like manner. It is also my understanding that Ford engineers have yet come up with a Ford-approved method to deal with this.

I'm just coming across this as I've got a really annoying and aggravating situation with my 2015 Lincoln MKC with the 2.3L Turbo Ecoboost engine. I bought the car two years ago, never had a problem with it and then out of the blue about 95,500 miles this mysterious misfire started to appear. I've replaced the COP's and unfortunately I've replaced the plugs a couple times as there have been plug issues beyond my control and apparently either bad batches (manufacturer error) or someone dropped/threw them (new from parts store). Once past that, I've pulled the misfire cylinder plugs and examined them and I've had a couple in the last 2-3k miles that had what seemed to be extreme carbon build up, but looked like overheating issues even though the vehicle has never overheated. I've done all the usual stuff like making sure there's no coolant in the engine oil or anywhere it should not be and the car is well taken care of. There's also no fluids on the outside of the motor that wouldn't be 'normal'. I just can't get thru this every 2000 to 3000 miles misfire issue. If I replace the plug for that cylinder even if it looks fine, the misfire stops. It was leading me to believe it may be a carbon problem. Now that I know what tools I need to have in my tool set to check this out and what to look for, I'll be doing that as soon as I can and just maybe get back to normal operation. I love the car, but I hate these issues. I also ran into the over torqued issue when I pulled the first set of plugs, someone tightened them way way too far (I was always told about 1/4 turn past finger tight was more than enough and I've never had blow by problems from that method). So I'll be getting the FORScan software and the OBD adapters for that and see if there is an actual issue or if it's carbon like I believe it to be. It's just 'too expensive' to just replace this and that until it stops on these newer engines because everything is so expensive to replace once you get past some plugs and COP's. It sure isn't like your grandma's old 70s/80s grand prix or caddy where you could get a part for like 30 bucks. Glad I came across this channel when I did. Hope to see some future 4-cyl Ecoboost stuff from the 2.0/2.3L Turbo lines in the '14-'19 range.
