Ford Mustang in New York, United States Nov 2020 - Jun 2022
Aug 2021 4000 mi	Check engine light came on at approx. 4000 miles and stayed on for about a week. Reason from FordPass App was "engine control system has detected the intake manifold runner control valve is not operating as expected and requires service" Car did go into a "limp mode" until the light cleared. No local Ford dealer could see the car for at least a month after the light came on, and light turned off after around a week. No diagnostic was successful because all Ford dealers refused to look at the car once the check engine light turned off.
Oct 2021 5000 mi	Check engine light illuminated at approx 5000 miles for two codes per the FordPass app. Those were "engine control system has detected the intake manifold runner control valve is not operating as expected and requires service" and "the powertrain control system has detected that it is unable to fully open or close the upper active grille shutters". This is the 2nd time that the 1st issue tripped a check engine light (from Aug 2021). Both codes cleared within 3 or so days. Car did not appear to go into a "limp mode" this time. Ford dealers had no availability to look at the car when the check engine light was on and refused to see it after the light was off.
Jun 2022 8855 mi	Check engine light on P2015. Performed tests and inspected the intake manifold and wiring and no damage found. Testing indicated it was an intermittent concern. Reassembled and road tested and code went away. No actual repair was performed that aware of. This is the 3rd time a check engine light has come on for the intake manifold runner control, but the 1st time it was actually looked at while the light was on.

Jan 2014 39000 mi	In looking at what to report this time around, I saw it included things I've chosen to live with. So, here I'll report an issue I've been ignoring a long time. It's a clicking sound that is from the actuator for the defrost re-circulation door when first turning the key. It started in January of 2014 and has continued to work. I've gotten cost estimates to repair it, which only requires small hands and the proper tools (that one day I'll find to fix it myself) and the ~$50 part, but Ford and another establishment want to charge upward of $250 to do it. They say it includes diagnosis, although I diagnosed it myself. I say that is too high and as long as the defrost and the re-circulation works, I can live with the clicking at the initial turn of my key.

Aug 2017 99200 mi C $260	Harmonic balancer. The vehicle was rough idle and loss of power in all driving ranges. It was thought initially it was a slipping belt by the loud noise emitted from that area. Some silicone spray quieted it down initially but got worse over several days and the lube spray did nothing to abate it. Then upon further inspection while running the harmonic balancer was found to be wobbly. Upon forum checking was a known problem. Removal was simple once the correct longer bolt secured to pull the old one off and install the new one. Since has been trouble free. Takes about 2 hours or so to complete all in 1 shot with the tools and part on hand. So figure 2.5-3.5 hours to complete repair. You do not have to remove the rad. Also a new belt was installed at the same time. Total cost for parts was about 250-300 dollars CDN.
