Re: Ford get it together!

the ecoboost line is 100% a by product of CAFE standards and flawed EPA testing - the ecoboost does well in testing despite real world performance but not meeting the standards brings big financial penalties. GM is doing the displacement on demand instead and it's junk too with loads of its own troubles.

the carbon on the intake valves is a problem with every direct injection setup, if you notice they are correcting it and that's why all the new stuff has both traditional and direct injection fueling.

my 2012 ecoboost in 95k miles has needed a water pump and one set of spark plugs.
