Jul 2016134000 miUS $80 | I've had a mysterious misfire that did not trigger the MIL or a generate a code. I paid the dealer for a diagnostic in the hope they could pin point the problem. The dealer quoted the service manual almost word for word stating I needed to replace the fuel rail pressure sensor, EGR control valve, #1 coil and spark plug, clean and service the throttle body, and then have the car retested to see if the problem had been repaired. I did the repairs myself but replaced all three rear bank coils as it requires removing the intake manifold to perform the repair. Also cleaned injectors and replaced fuel filter. Problem remained. | ||
Jun 2017134000 mi | Lived with the misfire issue for several months with no change in problem. After several months decided to revisit the issue. Followed service manual and tested several of the 23 feedback type sensors, none failed. Out of frustration decided to replace fuel injectors. Problem remained. Checked for vacuum leaks and found EGR vacuum sensor with both vacuum lines broken off. Replaced vacuum sensor, no change. Replaced IAC with no change. Replaced TPS with no improvement. Finally decided to replace the other three ignition coils (cyl 4, 5, 6). Problem solved. (Stored misfire data indicated coil #5 had misfired a number of times but was below the trigger threshold for a misfire system code.) Also found the large vacuum line from EGR to EGR control solenoid had a crack at one of the bends. It is covered by a corrugated plastic tubing so had to remove it to check the condition. Engine runs great but gas millage is lower than expected. Planned but have no executed a check of the vacuum lines for the vapor recovery system. I could not locate the system as the service manual showed it in the old location (attached to the gas tank. Ford moved it to the area next to the exhaust pipe exit at the back of the car.) Fixed vacuum lines for vapor recovery system. I used the VECI emissions label in the engine compartment to trace the routing of all the vacuum lines that are associated with emissions. (I believe there are seven or eight separate lines.) It looks simple but several components and the vacuum line that is attached to them are buried behind or under the intake manifold or are attached to the firewall behind the rear bank of cylinders. The faulty component I mentioned in an earlier entry is the EGR backpressure sensor. The barbed connectors that are part of the sensor were broken at the attachment point and appeared intact until I tried to remove the vacuum line. I had to replace the sensor in order to attach new vacuum lines. The sensor costs $70.00 and access requires removal of either the upper intake manifold or the throttle body. I also found a large hole in vacuum line leading to the EMEV (canister purge valve) This line is covered in corrugated tubing which makes it difficult to inspect. Several of the vacuum lines connect using a quick connect type connector. I couldn’t get the connector to release so I ended up cutting the tubing that attaches to the connector and then attached a new piece of vacuum line to the connector. I didn’t inspect the vacuum line going to the vapor recovery canister to the purge valve. It took me over sixteen hours to find and repair the vacuum lines. The new bulk vacuum line was free because the parts place didn’t have the correct size but had a size that is very close. |
