  1. My wife's Mustang has a small compressor with liquid puncture sealant in place of a spare. https://www.amazon.com/Ford-Fusion-Hybrid-Mobility-2016-2017/dp/B074XMN21M/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=ford+tire+mobility+kit&qid=1609373851&sr=8-2
  2. I'm not familiar with this procedure, but expect that it will need a battery charger/tender that has charging rate greater than the current draw with the ignition ON.
  3. When you have a failed start, does the starter actually crank the engine or not?
  4. What the OP has written isn't very clear to me, but the comment that the starter engages could suggest that the FOB is good?? Don't know if it cranks and doesn't fire or what the real status is.
  5. Not doubting that you have a problem with your headlights, but I've not seen many reports here. I'm not sure if your 2017 Titanium has the HID's like my 2017 Sport, but can assure you that both my high and low beams are quite acceptable. Retrofit LED's aren't usually good in housings that weren't designed for that. If you don't have HID's you could try that, although quite pricey to upgrade.
  6. You need to have it fully charged using something like a Battery Tender and then check the CCA, and bear in mind that the ambient will also effect it.
  7. The forum search function doesn't always work too well, but give it a try.

  9. The Motorcraft SP-542 plug was superseded by SP-578, and its quite possible that the SP-537 was also superseded, but best contact your dealership or wait to see if someone else here can confirm.

  10. Back in 2016 the above from @macbwt was the best advice you could receive, and I notice that your didn't respond to that, other than clicking the "ha ha" button.
  11. Bought the car in 2015 with the CEL on, which indicates the previous owner neglected to service it, and then you decided not to service it from that time until now - WOW.
  12. @CivicSi907 Not smart to post the same subject to two threads - now merged with the first thread you started back in 2016.
  13. 43,500 miles which is low for a 5 year old, but way past due on both mileage and time, both impacting on the oil life to different degrees. With that neglect Its to be expected that the camshaft Variable Valve Controls would be totally fouled up causing the reported error code.
  14. I gathered that you were not proficient in English and have no issue with that. So, have you done 5,000 miles in the 5 years its not been serviced, or have you done 300,000 miles in 5 years without a service? Clearly the engine has suffered due to lack of maintenance, but how badly none of us can tell, so again, best find a qualified mechanic that can assess the engine and decide the next steps such as an oil flush and frequent oil and oil filter changes.

  15. Not sure what your expectations are here - you chose not to respond to that question when I asked it earlier. The reason behind that question was to ascertain if this could be a case of maintenance neglect, which results in sludge, and sludge doesn't work well with any engine and particularly the Variable Valve Timing controls. Any qualified mechanic will have the skills to assess and diagnose this type of problem.
  16. My personal preference is always a diagnostic approach which in your previous response indicated to me that's not your preferred path, so I have no response to that last question.
  17. That oil meets the minimum requirement - most people here prefer to run full synthetic oil. Does your owners manual call for 5W-20 or 5W-30 ?
  18. Yes, if its only bank 2 Variable Valve Control solenoids that are bad.
  19. 103,451 miles without an oil and oil filter change, .......that's your problem right there. Need more than the error codes read - need to live scan the data - you say you had it at a mechanics shop? - best to find a qualified service shop.
  20. What's the mileage? What oil change intervals, what oil used and what oil filter? This is quite common on poorly serviced vehicles where the sludge causes issues with the camshaft Oil Control Valve (OCV) but someone with a scanner can actually do the required diagnostics to confirm what's actually wrong before throwing more parts at it.

  21. Try looking in the 2.7 Ecoboost subsection. The thread title "type of fluid" - Ford has changed the spec from Orange to Yellow. Take a look in your owners manual for the coolant replacement interval - I plan on doing it at around 5 years.

  23. The parts sold on Amazon are sold by Automotive parts dealers, many of them are registered Ford dealerships, so I buy from any place that sells genuine OEM parts at the best price. RockAuto.com isn't always cheaper than Amazon.
