On my 2016 MkX you just hold the brake and put it in gear - no need to hit the start button.

Engine wants to stall - Code P1450 & P144A - Evap Purge Valve
akirby replied to shumax's topic in 2017-2018 Edge & MKX
I don’t think it’s covered under the emissions warranty. You could take it in with 3/4 tank and let the dealer fill it up and test it, but I would probably just replace the purge valve first since that’s the root cause then if it continues to do it replace the Evap canister. -
Well we know the 6F55 was used with the 3.0Leb and with the 3.5leb in the Explorer/Taurus/MKS and some of those have been tuned so I think there is a some headroom there. But I would be wary of removing all the factory torque limitations.
-
It’s rated at 570 newton-meters which is at the input shaft after the torque converter multiplication. That’s only 420 lb/ft.

Im not talking about modding. I’m talking about taking it to the extreme where you risk real damage.
-
Doesnt it seem silly to go to all that trouble and expense and risk blowing up expensive parts just to get a little more power on a vehicle that’s driven on the street?
-
My point was just that there is a good reason they’re limiting torque in lower gears. You’d likely need to beef up the tranny, ptu, driveshaft and diff to handle a lot more power.

FTFY ?

Sport and ST have the 2.7L ecoboost. ST-Line is an appearance package with 2.0Leb.

Who left the wipers in the up position?

Why did you buy a car you hate so much? Go trade it in for a dodge already.

Thats a ridiculous statement.

Who is moving their entire production to Mexico?

What he posted is exactly what comes out of your air compressor.

Hey that’s my line! It’s amazing how many people think air is mostly oxygen.

Not from the factory.

Which new cars come with green stem caps and wheel locks?

Hey I’m in Canton! How could you have missed the chip shortage affecting car production? It’s affecting everyone but Ford is even worse because they also had a fire shut down their supplier in Japan. Jeep dealer in Jasper had 13 vehicles total. Chevy isn’t much better. Most everyone has dropped rebates and dealers are asking MSRP. Ford even raised prices across the board. It is starting to get better but it will be several months to a year or more before production is back to normal.

Sync 3 and listening to text messages

Yes. Whether you listen to it or not it goes away after about 5 seconds. -

My screen is just a popup on top of the audio screen. -

akirby replied to circatee's topic in Audio, Backup, Navigation & SYNC
When I’m listening to Sirius the text window just pops up then goes away. It doesn’t change to a different screen. -

Both of my sync 3 vehicles work just like your Mustang. It goes away within a few seconds. Try doing a soft reboot ( hold power and next track buttons simultaneously). -
He was talking about the seat backs for the driver and passenger not the rear seats. On some models Ford went with manual seatbaks but power everything else. Very strange.

System not shutting down

Worst case if you can’t find the fob have the known fobs reprogrammed.
