Well after I bought my 2017 xlt with the 2.3 L ecoboost, I decided to get the K& N drop in filter. I didn't think anything of it because I have bought these in the past with other vehicles. Recently I have had some issues with hesitation and tranny issues with shifting problems with reverse and back to drive, and initial take off. I was doing some research and one video related to it not being actual tranny issues, but from the throttle body and sensors. So I decided to put my stock filter back in, and now the throttle response is better, and the tranny is shifting like original. So my question is, are these engines sooooo tuned with the turbo and such, that any change from stock can lead to these odd issues?? I did nothing different other than change the filter, I didn't loosen any clamps, pull any sensor wires, nothing just open and closed the filter box. any suggestions?
