one thing I forgot to mention is that under normal driving conditions is that is runs fine and no issues...just under heavy acceleration---if the plugs were messed up won't it run crappy all the time?

Hi there,

My name is Chad, and I'm the new Ford Service Rep. Have you had the chance to speak with your dealership about this concern? Pass along your current mileage; I'll explore options to assist.

Yep thats how mine was at 49,000 but after a couple of weeks it got much worse.It is very important to get it resolved.When that check engine lite is flashing it is telling you the miss fire is getting bad enough that it could be dumping enough raw fuel in the cat converter that it could cause damage and you dont want to replace that it can be pricey.Heck the dealer charged me 309.00 for just plugs and boots.

Thanks Crystal. I did find 2 plugs that had gaps .08-.10" greater than the other 4. Regapped those 2 and reinstalled. Did not find any carbon tracking evidence. Air filter was fairly dirty so it got a cleaning.

Has been fine since. If it happens again I will pop back in this thread.

Seems the 2014 EB has the IC issues still. Perfect conditions this morning, high humidity, 72* temps, 60 MPH cruising, went to pass a Semi, and instant loss of power, and CEL P0305. I pushed it through and it eventually cleared up and was fine the rest of the drive.

You would think after 4 years Ford would have resolved it by now.

How can they not fix this issue. I have a 2011 eco and it has been a nightmare. I ended up ditching the truck to keep from a head on collision. The latest reprogram I am getting 6.9 mpg pulling 6k trailer. A plain joke.

Don't know!


I recently put a 5* tune, 91 Perf/tow on it and found that under full lock up load it stutters. I have the CC set to 60 MPH, and on a slight upgrade of 1*, it will stay locked in 6th direct, and I can feel the truck bucking like the engine is missing, and a few times it was a hard buck. No codes set, so no misfire detected, but it was enough that after a couple weeks I restored to stock. Problem went away as far as I can tell, though I sure did like that I can pass without downshifting to 4th, the tune really did make a difference in performance, but until the bucking is resolved, not going to use it.

I re-gapped all the plugs, which made zero difference, and run ethanol free 91 octane BP fuel. It is either the tune is too lean, or there is a weak coil, but since no misfire is being detected, I dont know what is is.

Well I know many have said it but today I found out for myself! The Wagner nor the catch can do anything for the water digest issues... My wagner had what I would guess a couple of cups of water in it. I been having both mods for over 25k miles, but never had that shudder issue. They last few days it been humid and raining and I been driving back and forth to work in it. Today things clear up I went to floor it and it fail on its face no light. I returned to stock and went for another trip same thing but this time a flashing engine light. I knew what time it was. Dropped the Wagner and sure enough full of water

Yes the wagner is good for performance and the catch can is good at catching oit but neither help the issue at hand here. Soo I put a 1/16 weep hole in my wagner same location yall drill the stock cac. Will see how this goes....
