I like getting things in 2 days. Most of the time I pay for overnight hah. I'm a student so prime cost me $49 a year instead of the $99.
What have you done to your Ecoboosted vehicle today?

Nice ..... how much they total out to , if you don't mind me asking ....sweetair said:
For those that don't know... I had may car in the shop for about 24 hours after a CEL was thrown, I found 3 DTCs (P0627, P0087, and U46B), and the engine died in the road yesterday during rush hour when I was taking it in... these codes are related to the LPFP, low fuel rail pressure, and a communication code from the fuel pump module.
I learned 2 things in the last 24 hours... #1) 300CHP will be dangerous in the Focus RS (my rental) and I fear many will follow the Hellcat path.... and as I drove home today... #2) The SHO in stock tune is still pretty much of a beast! ...and still made me smile...BIG! ;D
Turns out two parts were defective... The HPFP was OK. So for those of you keeping track... here's what happened and the part numbers plus some info that may be of use:
First, the LPFP and sender assembly (PN DA5Z*9H307*F) as well as the gasket set (PN 4L3Z*9276*AA) were replaced after CON Code 42 and DTC P0627 were found as well as raised command voltage to the LPFP. BTW the LPFP is no longer inside the gas tank, at least not on a '13, I learned. They specifically told me they did not have to enter the gas tank for access....it's on the driver's side of the tank now.
Then they test drove it... and the engine died at a stoplight. ...Back to the shop and found the LP fuel system testing failed. Specifically, testing the power at the LPFP again revealed the the fuel pump module (PNAA8Z*9D307*B 20140704) intermittently the voltage sent from it to the LPFP was not raising as it should for a given throttle position. This was replaced.
Road tested again... they put 50 miles on the car (OK by me). All found completely functional.... The Low fuel rail pressure was corrected, and was apparently due to lack of fuel getting to the HPFP
I tested a bit myself on the way home, but it started raining and was rush hour, so I calmed down and drove like a good little boy. :
They also did an update of the ECU... I checked after I got home as this was not on the work order... I had a new strategy code and a new software ID (due to Ford update)... I have talked on the phone with Jamie and JT at LMS and I'll send them an email tonight with the info and get a new version of the v8 tune (with my mods of course). I also discussed changing the fan turn on temps...turns out Dan uses a different sensor than the ones I've seen reported from Torque and Aeroforce (all the info i could get)... and he uses 140 degrees cut on in the T-stat adjustment.... anyway he said they can adjust that from distance... so I will ask him to go to 160 degrees (same as the thermostat opening temp) and see what happens. I also discussed a 50-75 rpm increase in idle speed, which they thought would be OK, due to just the slightest hint of drone at idle once the engine enters closed loop operation. All good news. :thumb:
Finally... Back to the Ford house saga... they also replaced my rear interior door handle assemblies under the new recall, replaced my LP lights under that recall...and last, but not least they put a brand new battery in the SHO because it tested weak on one cell during the multipoint inspection. When the LP lamps were replaced they didn't transfer the LED bulbs.... My service advisor is GREAT... Shane went dumpster diving and retrieved them... what a man! :bow: You can bet he'll get high praise by name on the Ford survey! :no1:
The bill for all the parts, labor, new battery and a rental car (Focus SE) that beat on a bit during 200 miles driving was ZERO...NADDA... $0.00... I am very pleased to say the least. ;D :coolgleam: :lol:
I can hardly wait for the tune update and the rain to stop... but we only get about 8-12 inches a year... i also learned that the MDesign CAI doesn't ingest water!

Damn, that's quite the ordeal. I hope I don't have issues with my SHO. If I start to have issues, I'm going back to leasing a new car every 3 years, probably a new Legacy. I just don't have time for car issues. 10 months and 13k miles, no real issues. Hopefully after I tune it and put an exhaust on, she continues to be reliable.
Actually the only bad part was not having my hotrod for 24 hours... my dealer is great... no tune issues, the battery was over two years old...and the Phoenix heat eats batteries. I have checked and the failure was random rather than a trend. I've been tuned for about 14K miles now. No car is perfect. I have 70K free maintenance and BTB warty left... came with the car!PokerMunkee said:

Manu raised a good question... "Not much by the way of useful reporting around the web where the fuel pump is concerned. No news is good news? BTW, if the LPFP is outside the tank, how is it cooled? Is it more vulnerable to the temp swings in Phoenix/AZ?"
I didn't think to ask that question Manu... I was just so glad to have the car back quickly and no hassles. Good question. I'll try to get an answer.
I recall last fall when you mentioned a similiar issue you where having especially when making turns i recall,personally would give that dealer an A+++++for troubleshooting that issue so fast and accurate,my dealer had to order the parts for both recalls(door handle and license plate assembly)cause they did not have them in stock,great to see a happy camper.Z.
Actually Z that was a little different... the engine did not die and there was a ratchet noise from the front of the car which just lost power as I accelerated moderately during a hard left turn... nothing on that showed up when the checked it out and it has not occurred again... I think I just confused the computer somehow. My dealer had previously done the half shaft recall and found no problems also.ZSHO said:
Yes, I was thrilled that they could just do all this stuff!... Now to get my tunes fixed for the new strategy code and SWID I have after the dealer updated my ECU with the current fuel system repair.

Now they come out with the door handle recall. After I spent the time fixing mine hah.
Glad to see your car is back to health now!
