Thanks, yep it's in the shop now. I bought the ODBII scanner this weekend at Harbor Freight, and I will be replacing the battery too. Good news is it's still running. Thanks again for all your help.

The saga continues. I got in it this morning to take it to have the battery tested, before starting it up I popped the hood to take another look at the coolant levels. Coolant levels looked fine. Got in, started it up, it turned over fine, RPMs didn't 'bounce', but the CEL was back on. Took it...

Originally Posted by wag123 Assuming that there isn't something wrong with the vehicle, when you do a drive cycle properly the readiness codes can be made ready on most vehicles in less than 10 miles, and it takes roughly 30 minutes from start to finish. I have done it at least 100 times. If you...

Sorry I wasn't clear. The check engine light is off and has been off since the second trip to the shop when I brought it home. It did sit in my driveway for more than 24 hours after that. So it was a rough start this morning and that's when the rough/strange idle happened too. It's not had any...

*Long* ... I recently purchased a 2016 Ford Transit Connect Wagon, LWB, Titanium. 2.5 i4 engine, 6f35 transmission. It's the little van (not the big transit), you see them a lot as fleet vehicles, but mine is a passenger van. A little backstory so I can get to the point and to my questions for...

A quick online search shows these vehicles were effected: 2015 Ford Edge built 9/1/15-12/21/15 in Oakville, MI 2015-2016 Ford F-150 built 8/1/15 to 5/17/16 in Dearborn MI, 8/31/15 to 4/27/16 in Kansas City 2015-2016 Lincoln MKT built 9/1/15 to 5/10/16 in Oakville, MI 2015-2016 Police...

Anyone know about the Throttle Body Issues that have been documented in some Ford vehicles? Any specifics on which models, years, and engines these were? I've read about them online for Fusions and some full size Transits and Transit Connects. I'm researching for a potential TC purchase.

Originally Posted by SirTanon The 6F35 is a proven and, IMHO, an unfairly maligned transmission. My 2010 Fusion with the 6F35 has nearly 275,000 miles on it, and the transmission still works as well as it did the day I got it. Crisp, clean, responsive shifts. Zero issues. It gets a single...

This site is super helpful for crowdsourced, reliable, information (from people who seem to know their stuff).... I posted a couple of weeks ago about Ford Transit Connect vans (the "mini-vans", not the cargos, not the full size transits). I'm still researching more on every model year within my...

Originally Posted by Whimsey While our 2017 Explorer does not have the 2.5 it does have the 6F35 transmission. The Explorer is a heavier vehicle and the 2.3 EB engine is a lot more powerful than the 2.5. So far at ~47,000 miles it shifts just fine with NO issues. Since we intend this vehicle to...

Thank you everyone so much! This is so helpful!
