Ecoboost problem, engine light on.
Hey,
I was driving home from Calgary today and I was merging off an onramp when i gave it some gas and all of a sudden my engine light started blinking and every time i gave it gas it would hesitate and choke. almost felt like i blew a turbo or a coil pack went. I pulled over, shut the truck off, turned it back on and it was fine. I'm a little worried though, has anyone experienced this? It was raining bad but still.. never had this happen.

Hey fellow Albertan!! No, I didn't such a problem. And I drove through some pretty good downpours, like the one with hail and tornados last week...! No such issue. If the engine light blinked, your computer stored a code, which they'll be able to read at your dealership, unless you own or know someone that owns an OBDII reader...!
Good luck! Keep us posted!

I own one, I should plug it in and find out. I was a little worried when that happened 
Hope its nothing major
Where are you from outbacktaz?
So i plugged in my SCT tuner cause thats the only thing i have right now and it showed no codes. The code went away when i started it up again so I'm assuming its a dealer thing that has to check it

Could it be bad gas as well? Or it could be a faulty coil pack. If you can, spray water with a bottle on your coil packs tonight. If you see a nice light show, have them replace it!!

It could be but i filled up about 300 km's prior to this happening so i don't think it was that. I'll take it to the dealer in a couple days and see what happens
