Increase MPG in 10 Minutes! EASY!

[@redmax3471]

Thanks, good info. I'm having 'check engine' light. Test shows the sensor 'air flow' error. I'm going to try cleaning. This is a good vid because; no back ground music and clear and concise info.

[@kbron3250]

Would recommend allowing the sensor air dry for a couple of minutes before reinserting.

[@TruckStuff1]

Not a bad idea. Wouldn't it dry in the intake too?

[@roberthughes2687]

Yes it will dry inside the tube also

[@GlenSmithsWorld]

Great video, thanks man. I have a 2015 2.7 I purchased new and never had any issues until recently at 82000 miles. My gas mileage just dropped to 16.2 from 19+. Hopefully this works, thanks again 👍. Oh, already changed plugs and air filter.

[@kevinmathis1278]

Check your high pressure fuel pump. Bolted to engine under the hood. They start going bad and no lights, no codes. Only a sudden drop in fuel mileage.

[@GlenSmithsWorld]

@@kevinmathis1278 Thanks for the info. 👍I’ll definitely look into that.

[@KCMrecordings]

@MyWay Garage was it that? Any other issues you've had in your 82k?

[@rlfedler]

@@kevinmathis1278 ..... I just bought a 2018 with the 3.5 EcoBoost last week, and the truck has 43,000 mi on it. I have a 25 mi commute to work one way at 55 mph and am not getting the mileage that I expected. They advertised around 22 miles per gallon highway and I am getting around 17. How do you check the pressure on this pump that you're talking about? I do have a laptop with the Forscan and the two-speed linking cable. Thanks ..

[@MexicanSnicker]

@@rlfedler did you find out? I’m getting 12 mpg on a 2016 ecoboost

[@eddiefranco1780]

did it work and how much better was your mpg?

[@MikeTemple2011]

The the two MAP sensors the same sensor or two different part #s?

[@jetdust]

I really can’t tell the location of the 3rd sensor, maybe mine is a bit different as I have a 21..

[@TheBanks148]

What size extension did you use in the intake pipe?

[@varmint223]

Are the two map sensors the same sensors or are they different part numbers? And what one gos where?

[@RKnoll74]

Do you clean your throttle body as well?

[@TruckStuff1]

I didnt this time around, but you certainly can

[@mrmann5053]

where did you get your front pod lights

[@TruckStuff1]

OEDRO

[@flash521]

I noticed the comments do not overall indicate any improvement -- What you might want to do is change your old thermostat to improve mileage. No joke. Replace with a Stant or Gate - not a standard Ford thermostat.

[@ShawnaO]

I know this is an old video, but I was wondering you I need to disconnect the battery before I take the sensors out? I just took the throttle body, cleaned it and put it back on and I reconnected the battery after that. Figured I better clean the sensors but you didn’t show disconnecting the battery first for this

[@TruckStuff1]

It's always best practice to disconnect the battery.

[@ShawnaO]

@@TruckStuff1 thank you! I went ahead and disconnected it just to be safe! Truck is running back to normal now!

[@lostinmyspace4910]

Anytime you remove the throttle body, you must disconnect the battery terminal. If you stick your finger into the throttle body w/o removing battery cable, that throttle body could potentially cut off your finger...it's energized. Be careful.

[@ChildrensGiftMinistry]

Would this work on a 2014 6.2L VST Raptor?

[@jayfine01]

Yea

[@jon-xq2lc]

I just saw a vid you mad about a filter change. Do you still have the 7.3?

[@TruckStuff1]

No I do no, sadly.

@@FixItStupid I have the 2000 7.3 with the manual 6 speed. the truck is so badly rusted, But i found all the doors, bed, rockers and corners are not to bad, The truck has very low miles so I'm going to bring it back to life, I'm doing a cab off restoration, that way i can access the frame and be able to upgrade the fuel lines-filters, and oil. the frame is fine, But I'm going to soda blast it and paint it, should be fun : ) good luck.

[@daultonmccoy8369]

Do you absolutely have to do the battery reset thing?

[@TruckStuff1]

You should yes.

[@xilbus]

Would this be something to look at if your mpg goes from 20 to 10 just like that in the same day?

[@TruckStuff1]

It could be but there could be lots of things

[@vosburght]

Mine has dropped from 21 to about 13ish. I changed my plugs and evap solenoide, it's up to 15.2 now. Going to try the map next.

[@brianlayton8763]

Todd V. did you get your mileage above 15.2?

[@Derick9772]

@@vosburght did you try it and did it help

[@vosburght]

@@Derick9772 So I found my solution! I changed my air filter and my MPG immediately went back to 20+ MPG! It was crazy simple!

[@Unstricted1217]

what can cause you to get terrible MPG, I barely get 16 mpg on the highway

[@TruckStuff1]

Depending on the truck 16mpg isn't terrible. I get 17-18

[@varmint223]

I only get 15.3 and it’s stock .. people saying there getting 20+ are full of shit and don’t know how to hand calculate and find true mpg the meter is always wrong on these trucks

@@varmint223 I got 26 going to the UP of Michigan and 23 on my way down, now I'm only getting 15, the drop was sudden. I'm investigating as to why. I have a 2.7 eco.

[@spiceyfrenchtoast9421]

Change all the powertrain fluids, rear diff, front diff transfer case and transmission fluids. Old fluids add drag. Especially the diffs. Also, tires add drag if not properly inflated.

[@SuperLance95]

It’s “Manifold Absolute Pressure”

[@TruckStuff1]

Whoops.... You're absolutely correct!

[@sawyerthomas3283]

So you used the maf cleaner on the map sensors too?

[@TruckStuff1]

Some people say map sensors don't need to be cleaned, but it can't hurt to be thorough

[@dustinvantuyl3025]

The first sensor u “cleaned” is an IAT sensor and it does nothing to clean it. It does not measure air flow and isn’t near as precise of a sensor.

[@TruckStuff1]

Thanks! I've since learned this. When preparing for this video the information available was very clouded with different names and uses of sensors in different years. Turns out, you're right.

[@robertclymer6948]

@@TruckStuff1 Oh hell, lol I cleaned them all!!!

[@TheMajictech]

I didn’t see an airflow meter cleaned in this video at all, ya missed cleaning one of the most important ones 😅

[@chopper8511]

For some reason, my truck runs roughly after the cleanings

[@TruckStuff1]

Unplug your battery for 10 minutes then plug it back in. See if the helps

[@TheREIstory]

Did you fix the rough run? I cleaned mine as well and felt something a little strange when sitting in idle but I haven't done the battery reset yet. Will do that shortly

[@TheMajictech]

You didn’t even clean the airflow meter at all 😅
