    Update Shudder/Hesitation issue

    I would take it to the dealer and have them check the transmission fluid for metal. I did not think that my hesitation and shutter would be a drivetrain problem either and did all the trouble shooting options but it turns out my torque converter was slipping. fortunately I had a warranty and got...

    boost leak?

    It was all passenger up front but both sides in the back. she's in good hands now. I'll undo all the bad that's been done to her. Just a shame to have to get all this done so soon

    boost leak?

    I only have 45k so I was surprised that it wasn't something small. I'm thinking the previous owner beat this poor car up because i took it in for an inspection and i need a lower control arm, a tie rod and some other links in the rear all replaced. Came to about $1000 all said and done. Was not...

    boost leak?

    The dealership I bought it from has a "forever warranty" on their cars as long as you keep up with a regular service. I only had the car for 1 month before I started having problems so I tried plugs, then checked for boost leaks, then checked the knock sensor wire. Everything was fine so I had...

    boost leak?

    Hey I have been meaning to get back to this. I got mine fixed. The torque converter was messed up. It also compromised the valve body so after 2 long weeks of no car I got it back with a new tranny. They scrapped the whole thing and put a new one in with a new torque converter and warranty. I...

    boost leak?

    I can just remove that and block that off? I'm still running an all stock tune.

    boost leak?

    This may be a dumb question but by noise maker do you mean blow off valve? Or that wierd low pressure blow off by the throttle body?

    boost leak?

    Ok I'm hoping that's the issue. I'll find out Thursday. Is there an easy tell if the turbo has gone bad or is it going to be trial and error?

    boost leak?

    I looked mildly at all the piping. I'm going to do a smoke test on Thursday to make it definitive about a boost leak. Do you think that would be the reasoning behind the violent shake?

    boost leak?

    So I have been experiencing some wierd issues with my car. It's a 2011 and I get a hesitation and surging while under light acceleration or while going up hill. Under full throttle it seems fine but if your not beating the pants off it it drives weird. The rpms fluctuate like it cant pick a...

    Update Shudder/Hesitation issue

    Awesome thanks!!! Do I just use the factory recommended weight oil or is there something better available? Also what do you think about drilling a hole to drain the intercooler then plugging it? I'm having trouble getting all the fluid out and don't want to have to take the whole intercooler...

    Update Shudder/Hesitation issue

    I have a code scanner so I'll check that. When I tried draining the intercooler I already jacked up the driver side and got as much out as possible. Would it throw a code for a bad injector? Also has anyone else drilled a hole in the cac? I feel like I'm having the same symptoms as SHO311. it's...

    Update Shudder/Hesitation issue

    Would there still be codes if there is no cel? I just put brand new plugs in from livernoise. How do you check the injectors? and I tried draining the intercooler but I couldn't get all of it. Left about 1/8 on dipstick. I'm having ford change the ptu fluid soon.

    I uploaded the video to YouTube. Kinda poopy quality but you'll see what I'm talking about

    Update Shudder/Hesitation issue

    I tried to post a video but it won't let me. The rpms bounce about 200-500 rpm on light acceleration but only in 3rd gear. Then I get a kind of studder and it feels like the torque converter kicking in and out. Kinda weird. But above 50 and below 30 the car performs perfectly.

    Update Shudder/Hesitation issue

    Hey guys, Just bought a 2011 sho and I'm having the same issues as sho311. I checked for chafed knock sensor, replaced the plugs and have an appointment to get the ptu oil drained and replaced. I took the pipe off from the throttle body and checked with a dip stick and found about 3/8 to...
