I'm sure they knew Ford was sniffing around, so I figured something like a miracle was going to happen. It is amazing you have to go thru this stuff just so you don't get screwed. The old "I think your Johnson rod needs replacing" scam...
Cool!

My guess, the dealer wanted to sell a throttle body cleaning and an injection cleaning. He thought he would call it a fancy serious name to try and scare the OP.
