    Thanks, appreciate the video availability! I just got my 2016 F150 XLT with the 3.5L Ecoboost, and it's running fine, but I'd like to learn as much as I can on this particular engine, and try to keep it running smoothly as well as with longevity! Thankfully, the previous owner took the truck to the same Ford dealership that it was bought at, for it's services, so I had them print off all the past services from new (quite a bundle). The truck already has 125K, but runs smooth, so I'm thankful for these suggestions on cleaning these sensors! I've also ordered two catch-can's and one way valves, which I'll install in the next week or two. Thanks also for the tip on spark plugs, as I'll try and learn all I can on that as well. I already have some electrical contact cleaner, so I should be good to go! Thanks again, as I live in western Canada, and believe with our humidity, the catch-can addition should be helpful!

    As a tech with about 30yrs started around 84 full time around 88 cleaning your sensors is something I always did a lot of.Many shops used to just install new sensors but I always thought it wasn’t fair ,not that I thought they were trying to rip anyone off I just think it was a common practice due to fault codes,dealer recommended repairs etc..many cars over the yrs have had issues with the PCV systems with oil build up, ford used to have a filter in the back of the intakes that would plug up..anyway nice tip to help out the DIY ;) ..

    Hey thanks for taking the time to make the video. I had cleaned the one right near the air filter but had no idea of the other two sensors. Guess what I'm going to do next? On another note I removed the entire bed on my truck tar/painted frame and used bed liner spray under my bed. So spraying sensors seems like a vacation had to purchase new bolts and clips for bed. I don't recommend anyone do this unless they know what they are doing. Took a few days...I should have shot a video but did take pictures! Also hate the way the hitch is installed between the c clips and cheesy plastic clips yuk. Thanks again...

    In regards to the check valves you installed, I'm assuming you can check the direction of flow prior to installing or they have a direction printed on them?
    And where did you get them?
    Thanks again because I hate 120.00 dollar an hour shop rates!! And the added 5% added to your repair bill so parts changers get paid to clean their tools and put them away.

    • @nickelndiminit5136

      Yes, I highly recommend the 28 thousandths gap on good NGK plugs, clean the sensors periodically and install a catch can. Then get a 91 octane tune and thank me later. I have been running trouble free tuned for ~50k miles. Catch cans are definitely needed. I will be switching to the one linked in the description.

    I've had my 2012 F150 EB for a year now and it has always had this problem. After my local mechanic cleared some codes that it has had since I bought it (from a FORD dealership), he started it up for me and I asked him if he noticed the misfire. He told me that it did not trip any codes for a misfire but could he could feel it. Since he was only getting my truck running for me because of all the codes prevented it from running, I didn't have him address the issue. I will do this in the very near future and upgrade the ignition. Thank you for the information.

    That's a v6 turbo. Right?
    On other catch-can installation videos, people suggest placing a check valve on the tube connecting to the throttle intake, with the arrow pointing towards it, not to the other tube exiting the crankcase top, like you've done.
    Can you please advise us, as to whether or not we should then install check valves on BOTH tubes.
    Presumably, arrow pointing out from the crankcase, and arrow pointing in, at the intake.
    Or what?
    Please advise.

  • @warcraftarenas8770
    @warcraftarenas8770 Před 6 lety +5

    The MAP sensor lives in oil and crankcase fumes.. youd have to clean it every oil change if it was that big of a deal 🤔🤔 as long as it doesnt thickly coat the sensing strip inside you'll be fine, hence the cage surrounding it
    MAF sensors are prone to new air filter particles & other light or heavy road debree protruding past the filter, smacking the bimetallic strip.. so cleaning your MAF or MAP is more of a last ditch attempt to hope it actually work after all else has failed.. so yea it doesnt hurt to clean it.
    Heres a Tip, if you lightly tap the maf sensor at idle, and the hesitation temporarily goes away, its a defective MAF.. no need to check 12V power & 5V signal and/or 2k to 7k Hertz @ idle etc etc etc, depending on design. 👍
    Also, all the DIY/non-mechanically inclined watching this, be verrryyy careful with your MAF, as 60% of cars now also have the IAT sensor fused into the same sensor, just in a different part of it, so make sure u actually KNOW which 1 your cleaning, and DO NOT poke it with a screw driver to try and clean hard gunk off of it. Youve been warned :)
    Also the 'fix' was reported as drilling a weep hole in your intercooler as to let the condensation drain out and not be sucked in the intake, diluting your A/F ratio, hence misfire. BUT Fords TSB states to DITCH that approach, and actually just REMOVE your 2 Air deflectors 1 at the top of the intercooler and 1 at the bottom, THEN Reflash your PCM.PROBLEM SOLVED. But by all means throw the $$ at the parts guy first, plugs, wires, you name it ^^. I think your random hope/approach is much more cost friendly to the viewer, so you can atleast get a thumbs up for that.
    Guess away my friends!

    • @nickelndiminit5136
      @nickelndiminit5136  Před 4 lety +2

      This is valid when cars use a maf actually as a maf. These trucks have one but only use it as an IAT, not as a maf. So the hesitation is the sluggish MAP response. Those sensors are designed to live in an air environment not an oil bath as other commenters are suggesting.

    Hey guys -great videos here and I'm taking it all in after buying what looks to be a new 2017 Expedition! I want to follow along with the necessary modifications and maintenance to keep her in tip top shape. It appears to have lived in a garage as everything is minty clean, in and out. It has 75K on the clock and I'd like to get caught up with any work that you guys would recommend. Please give me a short list of "must do" items and I'll report back now and again on my progress. The reason I'm here is because I noticed the rpms at idle acting exactly as yours were...

    • @nickelndiminit5136
      @nickelndiminit5136  Před 4 lety

      I would do the gapped down plugs like I have linked in the description, but with a 28 thousandths gap, install a catch can. I am about to buy the catch can I have linked in the description, but you should be able to find one for the expedition on amazon like it for the 17. Then there will be some more videos coming where I take off the throttle body and check the backside of my valves with a camera and I will either prove or disprove the cleaning power of methanol injection...lots of info to come. Also, methanol means I can have more boost. Stay tuned. ;)

      I'm having the idle issue -it hunts around from 550-ish to 600-ish, very slight but it's def there I can feel it. I'm wondering why yours at vid beginning is hunting around 1K, but at the end of your vid is more like mine. I can still see it fluctuate -mine looks the same as yours (at the end). Did the (3) sensor cleaning get you the smoother idle?

    6:54 The larger block on the right, seems like it doesn't do much cleaning it. It's just a resistor.

      This is about 60% of the problem in my experience. The other part is needing to replace the spark plug boots and possibly the spark plugs if you have over ~50k miles on them. Plugs and gap are very important on these motors. I haven't tried them yet, but I think Accel just released coils for these, which really excites me. If I buy some there will be a video on this.

    Just got a 2020 3.5 EcoBoost a few days ago. I’ve already added the catch cans but seen how you installed yours different than I... my mountings are both “higher” than the engine and yours are lower. Can gravity have a negative effect on my installation? Also, I never even thought about there needing to be check valves. Did your cans come with them?

    Thanks for the video! What mileage did you install your catch can? Have you had any other issues? I’m looking at a 2011 eco boost with 100,000. I’m just scared because this was the first year for the turbo, if it was the 5.0, I wouldn’t think twice about the mileage, but just don’t want to dump my money into a turbocharged truck & regret it. Any thoughts?

      This is far too late for your use, but might help someone else. It all comes down to how it was maintained for me. I just bought a 175k expedition with a 5.4 for a daily driver/family hauler. If it has been well maintained, it should be cheaper to own in the long term than a new truck. I make good money and can't afford a new truck because it is starting to look like a mortgage payment.

I was on the on ramp and lost complete power, luckily there was light traffic and I was able to pull to the side. Turn off the truck and drove home safely. Took it to the dealer and wasn't help. Searched online and saw that folks experienced as a turbo issue

      Novakane_SC i was having this prob and especially at acceleration on highway or up a hill. Plugs changed and still misfired into limp mode. Limp mode is a safety feature that shuts you down completely. I drilled a tiny 1/16th inch weep hole on bottom of intercooler. A ton of fluid drained out and completely solved my problem 100%

    • @nickelndiminit5136
      @nickelndiminit5136  Před 4 lety +1

      If that is the case, it is possible that a vent line is plugged from the crank case, which causes pressure buildup is a possibility. That or a significant buildup of oil can cause that. The key to that problem is that crank case pressure builds up and causes too much resistance and the engine is forced to stop rotating. Cleaning the throttle body is also rumored to help, thought I haven't done that yet in 80k miles.

    Great video. Thanks. My truck even turned off on me while idling yesterday. I got a diagnostic message when I connected it at the auto part store of P1450, and another video said it was the purge valve. Would this fix it or do you think they are unrelated. Nevertheless, I’ll clean the sensors, too. I got 67k miles on it, and I’m sure they are not doing too well. Thanks again.

    • @nickelndiminit5136
      @nickelndiminit5136  Před 3 lety +1

      That specific code is a failure of the purge solenoid for the high pressure fuel system, which should be located under the engine cover or on the drivers side near the top of the motor. The auto parts store should have them or be able to get the gas purge solenoid for you. The sensor cleaning should help idle after the purge valve is replaced.

  • @SuperCoyotecaller
    @SuperCoyotecaller Před 4 lety

    One thing I don’t understand about the one way check valve, Fords original hose before catch can did not have a check valve what so ever, it’s just a hose with fancy ends that allows vent to happen. Why would that be any different with a catch can? Seems to me people are over thinking the catch can. Thoughts?

    • @nickelndiminit5136
      @nickelndiminit5136  Před 4 lety

      The catch cans are a needed factor on these trucks, cars and suvs. Ford has to have the engine reingest these vapors for the sake of emissions. We as customers can address a known issue like this with catch cans. My specific catch cans were less effective before the check valves. The new system I will install with get a video to follow this topic. I am also working right now on a mythbuster video for methanol injection cleaning the backs of the valves...so I have a lot more videos to do about this topic. Stay tuned.

    • @GAMEOV3RR
      @GAMEOV3RR Před 4 lety

      Ford will tell you know. But the reality of it is yes. Get a JLT oil separator. I got one even for my Subaru wrx. Anything with forced induction is more susceptible to burning oil. Subaru has earned the title “6SOE”(six star oil eater). Having that check valve in the PCV system on the passenger side is amazing. You don’t need a catch can on the driver side like he did only because that side of the engine doesn’t pull enough vacuum to cause any diluting of the octane. I think the check valves on both sides is a pretty ingenious thing to do through.

    • @nickelndiminit5136
      @nickelndiminit5136  Před 4 lety

      There are many people running catch cans. I am going to switch to the one linked in the video description. I think it is the best one on the market right now. The internet's opinion will often vary from mine. But I have not had to clean the sensors for about 30k miles now.

    Thank you for this, I have been trying to figure this out for 4 years now. Just wondering, besides the invironmental issues it might cause, how do you feel about drilling the 1/16" hole in the bottom of the intercooler instead of using a catch can? I have heard it is under constant positive pressure and blows out all the gunk.

So why would I put up with the trolls and do all the work to fake it? The last part of the video was after I tested the truck by driving it around town, to work and back. At the end of the day the idle was butter smooth. I don't normally work on oily trucks in a polo shirt, which should have tipped you off to the after-work nature of the video close. On my channel, there is a rule of thumb. If it didn't work as advertised, it will never get uploaded.
