    Electronic Steering Control

    The steering unit alone cannot be adjusted. It would be my assumption that something else is wrong that is causing your concern. The dealership should be able to return your vehicle to it's original configuration ie. assist at the level you remember it. You will need to be insistent that the...

    2016 Explorer Throttle Body Problems

    Rainman73 be sure to buy the Ford ESP plan as the aftermarket plans do not cover near the component failure that Ford does. Most aftermarket companies will send out an adjustor to approve or deny the claim. The aftermarket companies are all about keeping their money and denying your coverage.

    Flat tire, an observation...

    So before I add anything to this thread, will it be about tire pressure or semantic description of driving wheels? smaller tire size of the "bicycle like spare tire" is read as different speeds by the ABS module and communicated over the network to allow the Vehicle Dynamics Module. This...

    Which Octane Fuel in 3.5 V6 Explorer ?

    These new engines are better than the older ones. The insulation does muffle the noises better. Variable valve timing and increased compression ratio will help mileage and performance. Direct injection also maximizes the volumetric efficiency to enhance all aspects of performance. One of the...

    marbles in a can by themselves are not noisey Knocking (also knock, detonation, spark knock, pinging or pinking) in spark-ignition internal combustion engines occurs when combustion of the air/fuel mixture in the cylinder does not start off correctly in response to ignition by the spark plug...

    Rearview Camera Problems

    the camera is intermittent because of one of two reasons. Either the camera itself is going bad or the connection of wiring is such that it needs attention. Some times wiring connectors will be loose or corroded to the point they need repair. Wiggle test wiring and connectors to find the suspect...

    2016 Sport - 3.5L EcoBoost "Chugging" on cold starts

    Normally cold engine start up runs on open loop strategies. Catalytic converter temps during start up do not affect mixtures. There is some discussion across the markets about intake valve/runner deposits causing this anomaly. Normally this does not occur in vehicles with lower mileage. I would...

    Regular or Premium Gas

    So when hotter air being less dense reduces the friction of airflow over the vehicle, it follows that the hotter air will flow better into the engine allowing better performance. Is that correct? I was under the impression that the hotter less dense air would not allow the air/fuel mixture to...

    Keyless Entry (Securicode) Door Pad Not working

    If the pad lights up then it does have power. As Bobby has noted replacement of the pad did repair his. I am confident you will need more help to correctly identify the causal part. It may be wiring from the pad to the Body Control Module or it may in fact be the pad itself. I would offer my...

    12v Power Points Not Working

    I too find it difficult to believe fuses are culprit. I did find two connectors for the rear harness that could be an issue. Inside the left kick panel are two loom connectors numbered 212 and 213 that may have some input as to faults. Realistically the same component that has concerns is the...

    Check Engine Flashing

    Flashing Ck Eng light with misfire codes will disable the a/c compressor to prevent excessive damage as a result of misfires. That strategy is written into the PCM software P0301 P0305 would be misfire codes. EcoBoost engines need spark plugs changed sooner than the recommended interval due to...
