On my GMC truck 6.6l Diesel, lost power smoked like rolling coal. It threw a code for low boost pressure among 3 other codes, including one for the Mass Air Flow Sensor. I changed the Mass Air sensor and the other 2 codes went away with it. This was just to make the point that you said. These things are all interconnected and mess with each other. These codes oftentimes just push you in a direction, but you still need to use a little thought process to figure things out. Back in the distributor days, An old Corrolla one time developed a bad wire and misfired as it shorted to the head. Car would not run worth a crap on the other three cylinders. I presumed that the unburned fuel from the one missing cylinder was messing with the O2 sensor and it was shutting down the fuel to the whole engine. I changed the one wire, the engine ran fine after that for as long as we owned the car. (I changed the other 3 after too)

My mom has a 2017 Ford Focus with this 2.0L engine and she hasn't changed the oil since she got it 8K miles later. Any advice on how I can get her to get it done?

[@safffff1000]

Pay her

[@TipOfTheSauce]

$3,000 repair bill lol

That was a 1st class diagnosis, Scotty! Bravo!! 👍🏼

[@rob.granger]

I had a similar issue with my 2019 F150 3.5 ecoboost, 1/2 the time I could get 1/2 boost when you stepped on it. Towing a small RV that was not good. I got smart, i hope, and traded it in on an F250SD.

[@svhshshs7567]

3:34 Scotty makes obscene comment with his left hand LOL

[@sjn7220]

Just had my 2.0 L ecoboost engine replaced on my Fusion due to coolant intrusion in the cylinders at 30k miles. Thankfully it was free under warranty. That's another problem with these engines on Escapes and Fusions.

[@ratagris21]

A small engine with all that crap on it. Love your mechanic description of stuff that sucks.

[@TheConservativesrock]

1.5 Liter Ecoboost is the one engine that doesn't have any widespread issues from what I can tell. It replaced the 1.6 that had overheating issues.

[@meow8384]

I miss the 4.6 L V8. Dependable, and acceptable gas mileage.

[@mikecastellon4545]

Buy a panther car...I did . Last till the end of time and beyond.

[@805NAVE]

By a Lexus LS460 or a GS460 they have the best 4.6 L V8 most reliable ever. I have an LS460 2008 and I love it. I want to get a GS460 but they’re hard to find. So actually don’t buy a GS460 haha wait til I get one

[@meow8384]

@@mikecastellon4545 Which panther do you think I should buy. I'm looking at a 06' Town Car with 150k miles for $3k. Overpriced or good buy?

[@mattweeks2272]

I refuse to get rid of my 05 with the 4.6. 185,000mi and she runs like a clock.

[@mikecastellon4545]

me ow I own a crown Vic lx..69 thou mi. Perfect condition. Vic grand marquis town car all exact same car just different trim level. They were built for durability and were designed for taxi, police, and luxury use. I’m 76 yrs old and have everything...Cadillac Lincoln corvette Honda Chevy. Panther makes them all seem like toy

Even more amazed than usual by your ability to diagnose the issue!

Man minutes from upload!! Also had to dump an Escape because of turbo issues.

[@levibender1160]

Scotty does like the Frontier

[@jamesmedina2062]

HerroYuy246 what year? how many miles?

[@rinr7052]

Is the Escape really that bad? :0

[@levibender1160]

I have an escape and it's been great

[@Justin_Ebright]

My GMC is 13 years old, 265K miles, and still purring like a kitten. I need to pull the valve covers and check the rockers, but really nothing is different. It's still got the same power (or similar enough I don't notice), drives great, and still gets great gas mileage. It's all about how you take care of your vehicle and what you use when it does need to be repaired. I've chewed through a couple sets of hubs (2 each side) but I live in an area where we have to use 4x4 to get up the hill multiple times daily in the best of weather, in the worst, well you gotta give 'er hell, but she gets there every time. It's a shame to hear the quality has gone down as much as it has of late, seems like ever since the big bailout things went to crap with them.

[@LrulestheworldM8]

Shhhh dont tell that to the "new GM" truck buyers out there. They take offense when you insult their masculinity by pointing out its probably not a good a idea to have your 4200lb truck be powered by a 4 cylinder. And an ecoturd at that. People just dont seem to want to learn or listen to the experts, until they have to tow their vehicle to your shop.

[@rogerpearson9081]

Good man Scotty for saving the customer $$$ The problem with these small engines is they are more like an F1 engine and simple things like the spark plugs having a higher resistance can upset the feedback because it uses the spark resistance to measure engine output/boost. Presumably it is designed to stop someone just winding the boost up to go faster. I drove an early electronic Volvo truck which would pull like a train until the temperature got over 25 degrees C and would then derate 20 odd percent like you had flicked a switch. Euro truck in Australian climate was not good.

[@max7768]

I've heard good things about the ecoboost v6's, my dad has one and I love that motor. Heard about the water pump deal that costs around $1600 to fix but it's not too common, people say that engine will go to 200k easily with no problems. Even so $1600 is a small price to pay for the performance it has.

[@erocks1337]

Just replaced my water pump 2600.. 2015 sport

[@Ronco160]

Thanks for looking out for us Scotty!

[@James-mn6tb]

Turbos in such a large vehicle with a small engine 🧐, great job Ford. Making it more complicated with poor quality just shows that gone are the days of simple thinking such as “it’s a big car, let’s use a V6” haha.

[@wildbill23c]

There's a V6 but it has Turbos too. All automakers are jumping on this go-kart sized engine with turbo idea, and Toyota is doing this with the new 2021 Tundras too....they went from bad to worse.

[@Itz_tony0_0]

Same with honda . Ford is not the only car company who are putting turbos on a small engine. the new accords 2018 - Present 4 cylinder very small engine with turbos ,great job honda

[@zombieblaster5754]

I've got a 1975 mustang and that 2.3L 4 cylinder is nice and simple. I'm pretty sure in the 80s they made the same engine with a turbo. Dont get me wrong, these mustangs were super light so that would be great but back then they had some common sense

[@a.s.4914]

Yep, they're all doing it. Keep your older cars, because this is the alternative.....

[@a.s.4914]

My buddies 02 Ranger with the 4 liter still runs fine, without any problems. 187,000. Few of these newer Ford's will get to 150,000 miles, probably.

[@N1withaskillet]

New customer? I was led to believe your business was moving to the Tube. Glad you are staying active no matter your age.

[@justinacase2623]

Ahh, fix or repair daily. True to name.

[@hypnoti2906]

I have the same model explorer 2014 3.5 v6 with 127k miles no issues at all although it does go thru batteries every 2 years

[@davidm5707]

That guy might have the last living Cavalier, at 17 years old.

[@flybobbie1449]

We had a Vauxhall/GM Cavalier here in the UK in the 80's. It pretty much saved Vauxhall, as all the company rep's had them. Yet they vanished off the roads after a few years, i think all the rep's wore them out.

[@miguelbarrero5572]

My dad has a 2000 Chevy Cavalier with over 350,000 miles. Unfortunately, the digital odometer stopped working so I wouldn't be surprised if it has 400,000 miles or more right now.

[@fattony123082]

There was nothing wrong with the 5.0 in the explorer. Just by installing the 8 and 10 speed transmissions and rear end gearing that would be a game changer in mileage.

[@KetzallOfficial]

*New Artist from Canada, listen while you are home&stay safe guys✌️*

I'm a firm believer in the fact that there is no substitute for cubic inches when you want power and torque.

[@timdemille]

Dude this guy is a genius

[@dylanscarangella9012]

Those 2.0 EcoBoost engines are extremely reliable. The whole EcoBoost line are really good engines. Change the oil every 5k and you usually dont have to worry about the oil level getting too low if you use full synthetic oil designed for turbocharged engines

[@FlexSZN23]

Far from reliable. They have major problems with coolant leaking into the engine
