Bucking and snorting on acceleration

[DrumReaper]

6k miles and Columbia, SC here... no issues whatsoever.

 

[NASSTY]

Mine has 6,600 miles with no issues.

Ummm, I don't have to read back, as I have read all along. Again, his story can't be verified, has no camera footage to support his butt dyno results...

It's all hearsay and no proof. In all actuality, his story doesn't hold water and needs a weephole itself.

Ok, that is NOT a mechanical misfire as no mechanical parts have failed to compromise combustion.

What the hell?...

are you having a problem? so this seemed to work for a guy but you don't believe it because he didn't post a video??? what the **** does he care if you believe him or not? his truck is good and he passed along the info.

maybe mechanical was the wrong wording...even though there are many meanings for words in the english dictionary. It's an outside source thats putting out, rather compromising the flame. the ecu did its job, it did everything its supposed to do so as far as its concerned everything is ok. hence no codes. its no smarter than that...

 

[DrumReaper]

And so am I... most of us are smarter than that.

You can't even get a misfire wording right and you expect us to believe you? Please...

...If the condensation that can't be seen as you say , people wouldnt be able to run water/**** injection systems...

FINALLY, someone said it! I've been thinking this ever since this, and many many other posts about condensation and how bad it is.

Even way back in the late 70's, we had water injection systems that allowed more advance while suppressing detonation.

I never had luck with the system on a 280ZX. The interesting part is that these systems injected a TON of water from a large reservoir. If the injection was set too high, you'd experience negative effects. But, again, we're talking a LOT of water, not "moisture" which is actually beneficial; aka colder, denser air.

All this said, I've had the same bucking issues and am still analyzing and waiting. The one service rep I spoke with seemed to think it's just the "nature" of the EB.

The weep hole will solve your problem - guaranteed.

I am not trying to screw anyone - just trying to help.

Think we can all get a group buy on drill bits?

Hey Squatch- I'm more than happy to drill the hole, but am going to take it to the dealer first if it persists. And get their opinion on the fix as well as a guarantee that the hole won't void the warranty if they agree this is the answer. (Not much faith in all of this)

As mentioned, I put 93 octane in it and it helped considerably. Going to go flog it on the way to work this morning for more testing. Should be a fun drive to work!

I would not bother with the dealer. Ford has no fix for this condensate problem. They have MANY TSBs addressing condensate buildup and nothing has worked.
The weep hole does not void warranty. There has never been a case where it was voided.

So, the HUGE ELEPHANT IN THE ROOM is this:

Ford's isn't deaf, dumb, and blind.
Ford didn't build these Raptors in a vacuum.
Ford ran the living sh*t out of a bunch of test vehicles.
This isn't their first Ecoboost.
This isn't the first and only Turbocharged engine in a vehicle.

YET, we are all expected to believe that this problem JUST occurred after these Raptors hit the streets and Ford has NEVER known about this, or had this happen to them?

AND, if they did, and it's as simple as a 1/16" hole...THEN WHY THE H3LL WOULDN'T THEY HAVE ENGINEERED THAT FROM THE FACTORY?

Sorry, I'm just not buying it.

I'm still open-minded to other stranger anomalies, i.e. Knock adjustments, even a transmission lockup issue.

Mine did it, others (family) have felt it, so I know I'm not dreaming.

But, now after two resets and almost 3,000 miles and hot weather, my truck is running strong and smooth. For now.

I'm a deep skeptic and don't believe in things "fixing themselves"...except in this case in which the ADM may, in fact, be doing what a few Ford Reps (and many others on FRF) claim; and that is "let the computer systems build up some history and adapt to the optimize performance for your given conditions. Until then, it ain't gonna run the best."

"Control over the water injection is important. It must be injected only when conditions within the engine would otherwise be sufficient to cause detonation or other undesirable effects. This normally occurs when the engine is heavily loaded and running at full power, however may occur outside of these times in specialized engines or applications. Otherwise injecting water cools the combustion process unnecessarily, resulting in negative effects such as reduced efficiency or power."
