  1. He’s already illegal by using straight pipes. And I’m sure it sounds terrible and is annoying as hell to all the other drivers. Around here they like to do that to Infiniti G37s.
  2. owner.ford.com or www.motorcraftservice.com
  3. It’s now integrated with adaptive cruise and is called Stop and go. Your SEL should have it if you have adaptive cruise. Check that in the owners manual.
  4. You might be confusing auto hold with hill assist. Hill assist will keep the vehicle from rolling backwards when you take your foot off the brake. But only on a hill. Auto hold is what you want and it will work all the time if you have that feature, check the owners manual. Although I don’t understand why you can’t keep your foot on the brake for a few seconds at a traffic light. Auto hold is most useful in heavy stop and go traffic.
  5. Yes you can program it yourself but follow the instructions in the owners manual. It wont mess up the current keys.
  6. Floorpan is the metal floor. He’s saying it’s part of the metal stamping as opposed to an added piece.
  7. Winter blend lowers fuel economy due to the formula but it should never cause knocking, Sounds like the station has bad gas.
  8. Why do people buy cars without features they really want? I never understood that. You could go aftermarket but the dash surround will be a pain. You can upgrade to sync 3 with a turnkey system but it’s expensive - $1500-$2000 and I don’t know if that includes the dash trim. Or you could find the used components yourself and install it but then you have to get the sync 3 software installed and updated. Do a google search - I’m sure lots of folks have done this or at least discussed it. Good luck.
  9. Its a lot easier to just not close the door all the way.
  10. My answer is correct. My 2013 did the same thing. You have to go back to the display mode and choose the previous display mode. That is a fact and the owners manual is 100% correct. So please just let it go.
  11. We’re not just funny, we actually know how to read the owner’s manual. Do you know how to read the owner’s manual? Here, I’ll help you out.
  12. The rest of the drivetrain will explode. There isnt much you can do. Trade it for a mustang GT.
  13. Check for bad wiring to the speed sensors or a bad tone ring. Otherwise it might be a flaky sensor.
  14. That’s just what they’ve tested it with and that’s what they’ll warranty. Don’t want people using a substandard battery. As long as it physically fits, is the same type and has at least as many cold cranking amps as OEM it’s fine.
  15. I'm going to guess throttle body or throttle position sensor but without a code it's just a guess.
  16. If you don't have to lock it, just don't shut the door all the way.
  17. Yes valve cover gasket is most likely. Unless the cops or boots were submerged in oil for a long time they’re probably ok.
  18. Makes perfect sense if you consider the midsized sedan market is crowded, shrinking and most premium buyers had switched to crossovers. Sales without profit is meaningless. Fusion and MKZ, specifically, were replaced with Bronco Sport and Maverick in the same factory which have almost no direct competition and will bring in significantly more profit using the same resources. Same for Bronco and Ranger replacing Focus at MAP.
  19. It’s possible the cops messed up the PCM and it’s overdriving the new cops. Do a search - lots of info.
  20. It’s probably fine. Some residual oil is always left behind. More importantly there is nothing you could do about it anyway. If it sounds and drives ok and no white smoke you’re probably just fine.
  21. Modifying a 2.5L is an enormous waste of time. Trade it for a 3.0L.
  22. Maybe you could take a pic and point out where you added the trans fluid?
  23. Well I’m having a hard time figuring out how those two fluids are mixing. They’re totally separate closed systems.
  24. Sounds like you added the transmission fluid to the engine oil by accident.
