Sure can, and I hope it resolves the issue 4 u.

ok, that's new to me. Will look it up. EDIT: Ok, I see it in the OM. Here is an excerpt for the 2007 Edge: What you should know about fail-safe cooling If the engine coolant supply is depleted, this feature allows the vehicle to be driven temporarily before incremental component damage is incurred. The “fail-safe” distance depends on ambient temperatures, vehicle load and terrain. How fail-safe cooling works If the engine begins to overheat: • The engine coolant temperature gauge will move to the red (hot) area. • The symbol will illuminate. If the engine reaches a preset over-temperature condition, the engine will automatically switch to alternating cylinder operation. Each disabled cylinder acts as an air pump and cools the engine. When this occurs the vehicle will still operate. However: • The engine power will be limited. • The air conditioning system will be disabled. Continued operation will increase the engine temperature: • The engine will completely shut down. • Steering and braking effort will increase. Once the engine temperature cools, the engine can be re-started. Take your vehicle to an authorized dealer as soon as possible to minimize engine damage. When fail-safe mode is activated You have limited engine power when in the fail-safe mode, so drive the vehicle with caution. The vehicle will not be able to maintain high speed operation and the engine will run rough. Remember that the engine is capable of completely shutting down automatically to prevent engine damage, therefore: 1. Pull off the road as soon as safely possible and turn off the engine. 2. Arrange for the vehicle to be taken to an authorized dealer. 3. If this is not possible, wait a short period for the engine to cool. 4. Check the coolant level and replenish if low. Never remove the coolant reservoir cap while the engine is running or hot. 5. Restart the engine and take your vehicle to an authorized dealer. Driving the vehicle without repairing the engine problem increases the chance of engine damage. Take your vehicle to an authorized dealer as soon as possible.

You have changed the car battery as well as the fob battery?

Coolant is missing, MPG is poor. What is wrong?
WWWPerfA_ZN0W replied to accent's topic in 2010 Edge & MKX
If everything is otherwise working fine, no warning lights nothing, then go ahead and fill the coolant in the reservoir (with engine cold/at ambient and turned off) to the FULL COLD mark. Then drive around like normal and check again when engine is cold & off. Repeat as needed. -
Wouldnt call it failsafe, but it is pretty neat in that only 3 cylinders are fired and the remaining 3 are used as "air coolers". I had asked a tuner about having that as an optional economy mode (cylinder deactivation), but was told it's not a good idea. Anyway, make sure your wife gets a non-3.5. Maybe "3.5" is a jinx LOL.

Ugh, sorry to hear! Dropping in a new engine then? And I wouldn't blame da wife. I think it's just lousy that the design of the water pump makes it near impossible to figure things out until the failure happens. I guess that should be a warning to all of us to change the coolant sooner than the stated 105K miles for the first change. Just not worth the risk.

Be sure to fill up with 50/50 Motorcraft pre-diluted (could be Specialty Green or Specialty Orange, NOT interchangeable) coolant in the reservoir/degas bottle. You may need to top it up a few times depending on how low the coolant actually is. It should burp itself over time, but if it doesn't and you have temperature control problems, you will need to follow a "burp"ing procedure at that time. How frequently do you check the coolant? Was this the first time? -
I am thinking cracked tube/housing, but I dont know why the oil is turning "milky". Are you sure the oil is simply not breaking down, possibly because the oil level is low?
-
The video should be uploaded to a sharing site like flickr, photobucket, etc then linked back here. How many miles on your MKX? "water" coming out, meaning coolant, right? From the location, it is likely a cracked block OR the coolant xover tube OR the thermostat housing that gave way. I hate to say this, but regardless of the cause (water pump, head gasket, cracked block), you may want to look at getting a low mileage used engine and having that put in instead of attempting repairs. At least figure out if that option is viable for you or not.

I would take a wild guess and say minimal, not knowing which bolt we are talking about. I think the long bolts (there are 2 of them) are probably more important.

2011 Edge Service Manual, special tools for engine removal
WWWPerfA_ZN0W replied to doldonics's topic in 3.5L
No idea. When in doubt, follow the FSM ... -
The bolts are purchasable individually. Probably broken or the thread is stripped. Hopefully it's just broken, then you can take off the intake and retrieve the bottom half with a pliers or similar tool. You may need to PB Blaster it after covering up the intake ports to get it to come out. http://www.fordpartsgiant.com/parts-list/2012-ford-edge/intake-manifold.html?Filter=(30393) Which bolt in particular is the issue, can you identify it in a pic?

Turn off cargo area illumination?
WWWPerfA_ZN0W replied to VisionPilot's topic in 2015+ Edge & MKX Generation II
I second duct tape LOL. Or nail polish plastidip is too easy. -
Very possibly a TSS/OSS sensor issue. Always replace in pairs.
-
Simple things make the biggest difference And you realizing and adjusting accordingly
-
You can upgrade to specialty green, BUT green and gold are NOT compatible. So you have to flush out the gold antifreeze completely prior to putting in any green antifreeze.

What have you done to/with your Edge/MKX today?

Sounds great already, clean letoff, not like those cheap bass speakers that fumble everything -

WWWPerfA_ZN0W replied to WWWPerfA_ZN0W's topic in Accessories & Modifications
No sound clip = fictional install LOL -
Should the above ideas not work out ... It is possible the valve body is sticking just a tad and pressures aren't high enough at low throttle to overcome it. It'd be worth doing a 3x drain & fill of the fluid regardless, with unknown history. No flushes.
