    Hi y’all, I’m in texas and having a heck of an issue with the check engine light on a 2015 f150 platinum. I’ve had 3 different catalytic converters put on it, 4 02 sensors, a tune-up, the plugs have been changed, one of the turbos had a leak and it was fixed, the oil was changed recently, and i can’t remember what else but this has been going on a few months. It’s a capless fuel system. Anyway, the light will go on maybe a day or 2 or even maybe an hour or 2 and then back off. Sometimes it seems like it might go on if the fuel level is low and i parked on a slant but not all the time. Sometimes it goes on after i fill up. Like y’all mentioned, it’s aggravating. Idk what else to do. I know i can’t keep spending hundreds of bucks a month to try and figure it out. Just thought I’d see if y’all had any other ideas. Thanks!

    I have explorer 213 sport and lately check eng light went off.. autozone told me to change the purge valve and its been 2 days and the light still on. There is nothing wrong with the car regarding performance wise but the engine sounds funny like a sewing machine is on with the engine normal sound.. is that o2 sensor?

      Has your trouble been resolved? We'd recommend you have it diagnosed by a mechanical technician.

    Wish you guys would talk about the Cam shaft position sensor could something be relating to it I have seen it come up in my code reader and sometimes its ok making getting a inspection sticker impossible the engine runs excellent and no misfires or anything. By the way will engine light turn off once I replace sensor out?

      We simply covered some of the basics. Potentially there could be other issues to troubleshoot. You may need to have to the error codes reset that initiate the check engine light.

    To us none car folks, what's the definition to a "cold start"?

    • @SherwoodFord
      @SherwoodFord  Před 2 lety +4

      A cold start is an attempt to start a vehicle's engine when it is cold, relative to its normal operating temperature, often due to normal cold weather.

    • @SherwoodFord

      Some older models do, while newer model have the capless system, although a cap can be added to secure the tank.

    how many miles do i have to drive after I have the promblem fixed

    • @SherwoodFord

      The dealer can clear the error codes after diagnosis and or repair. Or if you have an OBDII scanner, you can do it yourself.
