I've been reviewing the schematic and have found a combination Turbocharger Boost Pressure/Charge Air Cooler Temperature sensor, an Ambient Air Temperature sensor, a combination Manifold Absolute Pressure/Intake Air Temperature 2 and an Intake Air Temperature sensor.

Anyone know how to make custom PIDs in Torque to access these sensors? Or if Torque isn't the best solution can someone recommend a reasonably priced code reader that can log all these sensors and access mode $06 data?

You're closing up the gap just like all have in the past with charged motors. LOL

 

I had misfires both with and without codes being set. The tech checked my previous service history and noted multiple misfires on cylinder 1 and then swapped coils on one and two. The next day I had a misfire on a highway on-ramp and it set a code. I drove straight to the dealer and the tech checked it and the misfire had move to cylinder two. I got a new coil pack and the loss of power issue disappeared.

If you are seeing multiple misfire codes for multiple cylinders, your problem is likely more than one bad coil.

 

Thanks for this information. It sounds like it doesn't apply to my situation, but could be very valuable for anyone who is only seeing the misfire on a single cylinder.

 

I tried to do the torque scan thing and the short one didn't do anything and the long one went for an hour and I had to turn the key off bc the battery light had came on...

I'm trying to figure this out too, I wanna see all the sensors.

 

When you run the Freeze Frames in real driving time it will take about a 1/2 hour and record 44 PID's 11 times. Document them and then you can select graphing mode on the selected PID and watch it in live driving time. You can jump back and forth between the PID's with only a couple seconds delay for the meter to calibrate for the pids frequency. Graph mode gives you a lot better understanding of what the PID is doing. It is a lot like a fish finder graphing the lake.
I would do it a couple times if suffering the Condensation muff. Running it alot plugged in tends to heat up the plug some.

 

I don't know if this has already been posted, but I got this email from my Ford customer care rep today and thought I would share.

From Ford:
"There is a repair that will be available at the end of the fourth quarter in regards to your concern. The issue is that there is moisture that is building up in your CAC tube and it collects when you are driving at steady speeds for extended periods of time. Once you go to accelerate after it has built up it has been causing the lack of power, hesitating concern. There is a way to control it to an extent and that is if you are driving for extended periods of time hit the accelerator a few times to push out the moisture so that it is not collecting in the tube. It will not completely resolve your concern but it will help until the new design tube is available."

 

Job2 is scheduled for 12/3/12. I'm betting the new IC will be in production beginning on that date, and a TSB for earlier trucks will be soon to follow.

 

Just a short while ago it was the end of September...now its the end of the fourth quarter?

My truck will go in 2 more times before then to qualify for lemon...if they don't release it by the end of December, bye bye, no if ands or buts about it. The way they keep pushing it back is kinda ridiculous. I gave them the benefit of the doubt before with engineering having to research, come up with a design, test, spec it out to a vendor, etc. But after the last "fix"...I just don't know.

Kinda sucks for those that put on a good amount of miles a year...I'll be near 30,000 by the end of the year.
