    Not sure how reliable that is. My stock plugs and coils feel so good that I doubt there's room for improvement.

    Are you expecting any performance increase with those spark plugs and coils?
  3. The tester that auto shops and many DIY'ers use does not require more skills than basic reading. TOPDON BT100 Car Battery Tester 12V Load Tester, 100-2000 CCA Automotive Alternator Tester Digital Auto Battery Analyzer Charging Cranking System Tester for Car Truck Motorcycle
  4. Any explanation without testing would be a thumb-suck. Testing is what's needed, and the "Autozone" testing suggestion was meant to be an example of the service such stores offer, and most likely some in Canada do the same. A dead/discharged battery could be the symptom of a failed/failing battery or a parasitic drain or a charging system failure.
  5. Get the battery and charging system checked at a place like Autozone - typically free of charge for the test.
  6. Keep it to one thread. Use an OBDII dongle and Forscan to scan for codes.
  7. No idea, never used a torque wrench on that. Turn it down until it bottoms out and that's it - its seals on the o-rings and doesn't need any torque for that.
  8. @Jim thurber it's widely reported that most, if not all, 3rd party evap valves do not last as long as the OEM.
  9. Well done. You are correct, when using a modern digital multimeter you need to take into account that it has a very high input impedance - a simple 12v test lamp works better in these situations.
  10. I have the same recall and my camera fails intermittently. I've been trying to get hold of the service manager to hopefully get the camera and do the change myself. I don't think there's a time limit on getting the recall done.
  11. Glad that a solution was found, even if it doesn't make much sense. The courtesy wipe is a feature that provides an extra wipe of the windshield a few seconds after you finish using the windshield washer fluid.
  12. Ford list a rain sensor for that model, so the report that it doesn't have an Auto mode for the wipers is surprising. https://ford.oempartsonline.com/oem-parts/ford-rain-sensor-lu5z17d547b See if the below thread is any help for the serpentine belt.
  13. Welcome. Using FORscan run the "RGTM On-Demand Self-Test" - it might resolve the issue and can do no harm.
  14. SafeLite botched a chip repair and three windshield replacements following that. The insurance instructs the installers to use the cheapest glass, unless you insist on OEM. From your description it appears they've fouled the rain sensor and it will require a new one, and a possible a new windshield if it an issue with the cheap Chinese one they typically use.
  15. Welcome. Its likely that the installer trashed the rain sensor - have you tried it with it not in Auto? Who installed it, AutoLite SafeLite? .
  16. Welcome. If it won't turn over with a wrench on the crank I'd suspect the valve timing has jumped. With a wrench on the crank are you able to rotate it just a little back and forth?
  17. When you gas up, do you stop at the first click or give the nozzle a few more presses? https://www.newsweek.com/car-expert-warns-why-you-should-never-add-more-fuel-after-nozzle-clicks-off-stop-2018339
  18. No guessing - a bad MAP sensor would not only impact idle. Try defeating the Evap solenoid as a test using the below YT video as a guide.
  19. If possible post images of the electrical schematic showing this area. Measure between each of the bulb connectors contacts and ground - measure continuity between the bulb connectors contacts and ground.
  20. Is it only at idle? Does it run / accelerate? Check the O2 sensor trends.
  21. It's a common mistake to assume the sensor is at fault and replace it, when in fact the issue is being identified by the fully functional sensor. A fault code is just the starting point for further diagnostics, not a solution. It may be a few causes such as a bad high pressure fuel pump or injectors leaking by badly. .
  22. I have never found a factory coated rotor that doesn't look like that in a relatively short time and that's why I paint mine. POR-15 High Temperature Brake Caliper Paint, Heat Resistant Coating, 8 Fluid Ounces, Silver
  23. I don't recognize it but assume that cylindrical part contains the resistor. Next steps would be to check for codes and if that doesn't provide any pointers then start fault finding with the electrical schematics and multimeter.
