What are the symptoms of the misfire problem? I have a 2016 that will throw an intermittent wrench light cruising at 65mph with cruise control. Recently help with wrench light issue replacing the trans oil pump.
The truck in this video is a 2011. Although it did seem to help this truck, it’s not a procedure I really recommend and in fact I handed the owner the drill and told him that if he wanted to try it, HE could drill the hole. My best recommendation is to get a V8 truck, even if that means a GM these days.
Yeah, not my first choice, and in fact I told the customer he could drill it himself, which is what happened. In fairness, a 1/16” hole makes little difference and the boost control system compensates for it.
Makes a huge difference. Especially in cold climates. That yellow mucky stuff is oil and water from condensation. I own a direct injection turbo diesel, notorious engines for blow by and dirty intake manifolds. Bought a good quality oil separator ( provent 200) which has solved my issue
An oil separator is the way to go for sure. I posted this video as more of an illustration of what is in there without the separator. In fact, I would not drill the hole but the guy who owns the truck wanted to try it, so I handed him the drill and grabbed the camera! In fairness, the truck in this video has put on quite a few miles like this with no new problems, but even it has an oil separator now.
I put a JTL catch can on my 2016 3.5 EcoBoost. I pour this crap out of it that looks like coffe . Ford reduced the size of the enter cooler. On the 18s Ford fixed the injector system to clean the valves .
It's been 5 yrs and 80,000 mi since i drilled mine. No regrets. It had 100k on it, and it blew out a 8 to 12 oz of cream, and hasnt left a dtop on my driveway since.
Willie Gillie Ugh, another semantic savior... The word motor is GLOBALLY excepted as a term for an internal combustion engine. Ever heard or MOTOR oil, Bayerische MOTORen Werke (you know...

@@williegillie5712 Just because you're having acceptance issues, doesn't mean the world needs to change to your liking. Look where that's gotten us so far with asinine things like being punished for pronoun 'misuse'.

Call it slang for engine if you like call a starter an engine. They’re all interchangeable. But the we google: what is the difference between and motor and an engine?

@@williegillie5712 I can't imagine how torturous it must be to let shit like that bother you. I mean, everyone has a little Type A in them, but to be driven to call out random people on RUclips about it is another level.
I put a catch can on mine, which of course prevents the oil from getting through the cold side of the turbo and into the intercooler in the first place, so I think it is a preferable solution. I did not recommend this solution but filmed it to show the extent of the problem.
An oil catch can will catch oil coming through the PVC system but it won't fix the problem with moisture building up in the intercooler and causing issues.
The truck has been running great. Whatever boost is leaking out of the weep hole is being made up by the wastegate. The hesitation problem is gone. He has a catch can now too, which is probably a better solution than just drilling the hole.
My 15 Explorer Sport went 72000 km before it got the death rattle. It was a month off warranty because I drive a Mustang in the summer. Switched to a GM SUV with a reliable V8.
I did exactly that on my own 3.5 Ecoboost Explorer. I wasn't for drilling this hole in the first place, but it is a powerful illustration of the problem and my friend who owns this truck says it has killed his hesitation problem. He didn't want to throw it on the dyno and the roads have been too icy to check the boost since this modification, but I am pretty sure that the tiny leak is compensated for by the wastegate controller.
Cylinder misfire‘s and catalytic converter bank 2 deficiencies and brought me here on code scans the engine shutters under load but can drive easy on flat surfaces without hard acceleration and I went to a muffler shop and got the back pressure tested both of the catalytic converter‘s are good and I am so pleased that at this point in the morning I may have found a solution to my issue I know that tomorrow morning I’m going to be going underneath my truck a 2016 Ford F150 lariat and taking what appears to be a 14 or 15 mm wrench or socket to that drain bolt that’s on the intercooler of which they drilled a unnecessarily hole. Yes it may require frequent maintenance but understandably that’s what vehicles do you require I just feel that the Ford has designed these eco-boost engines to take a smaller engine and be able to outperform what it should be able to accomplish the technicians and the annual services do not include cleaning of the injectors emptying of the intercooler and I’m certain many other checkpoints that require service I’m not disappointed in the performance of my truck when it’s running properly but I have lately been treated to a shitty run of unknown nonsense with check engine lights and sluggish performance I ended up swapping the coil packs and spark plugs to still have the problem persist and I hope that what I’ve seen here on this video will alleviate the problem that I have now and future problems and I will be looking forward to getting a CAT scan on the truck which of course I will have to make reminders in my phone to clean that thing out but certainly a much more formidable solution as opposed to repairing stuff and buying things that I don’t need. Thank you for the video though I don’t agree with the hole that is spewing oil all over the road and on the driveway which I won’t be doing I still appreciate the insight to an oil buildup problem. I have certainly found with doing my own repairs on this eco-boost engine like many auto companies stuff is just not built on a practicality level but more a scalable and production time value in the sense of being able to pump vehicles through the production line so the end result is engines that are functional but only if the maintenance is actually conducted at the proper intervals and to me it appears that these maintenance intervals are not all similar to the regular ones of the past they have new functions. The reality is they are engines multiple systems dependent on each other and if you have variances that hinder or stop the system from working sometimes it’s not an easy fix at least in my case it’s been a real pain in the ass but I see the light at the end of the tunnel and this time I don’t think it’s a train.

You can feel the vehicle hesitate when it fires a gob of this crap through the motor. You might also get a P0300, but often there will not be a code.
What year is yours bro, Hera year? Does it work for all f150s 2011-2019???

Reminds me of one of those big pimple popping videos. Lol
What year is this truck? I heard the '11 and '12 have intercooler problems that cause this, but the '13 and '14 are much improved and '15+ it's fixed.
This truck is a 2011.
I have an 18 3.5 with 1500 miles. I have hesitation when half throttle or above. So I'm guessing it's not fixed.
@@jakech12345 Did you ever get this fixed? did you drill the whole?
@@mikehenthorn976 I ended up selling the truck a few months ago. Didn't do the drill mod so unfortunately I don't have any info for you
We all blind now
Lol I squinted and backed up so fast when it shot towards the camera
No kidding. You should have been there in person!
so, create a boost leak, to fix something?
Yeah, not my first choice, and in fact I told the customer he could drill it himself, which is what happened. In fairness, a 1/16” hole makes little difference and the boost control system compensates for it.
Finally doing it to my 2013 ecoBEAST
oddly satisfying
Add an oil separator, problem solved. Also no oily crap on the drive way or garage floor
That's what I did on my personal ecoboost Explorer. Make sure you have clean side separation too though.

Great vid though. Just proves the effects of blow by. Thx for uploading
Oil separator won't help with this problem. Two completely different issues.
I put a JTL catch can on my 2016 3.5 EcoBoost. I pour this crap out of it that looks like coffe . Ford reduced the size of the enter cooler. On the 18s Ford fixed the injector system to clean the valves .
So did you drill the weep-hole too?
It's been 5 yrs and 80,000 mi since i drilled mine. No regrets. It had 100k on it, and it blew out a 8 to 12 oz of cream, and hasnt left a dtop on my driveway since.
Yeah, this one has been doing fine since the weep hole was drilled as well.
So we know your ecoboost is a motor. What is the starter an engine?

231mac guess they never should have used the word engineer. Probably should have called them motorneers right?

ok stupid question but wouldn't an oil catch can do the same thing?

Any updates with the truck since?

We did this to ours ("AFTER a new engine") ... "that was THAT" !! :- )
@@tecmotiondyno I’ve been running catch can since I bought truck and doesn’t at all fix issue. Drilling hole today to finally get rid of this bug
Oil Catch can a must for all ecoboost direct injection engines. Really shitty design.
My 15 Explorer Sport went 72000 km before it got the death rattle. It was a month off warranty because I drive a Mustang in the summer. Switched to a GM SUV with a reliable V8.
Greta dont like, how dare you!
For more “Greta don’t like”, check out the Earth Day Burnout Contest video on this channel!
tord o I mean ford that's about 4 psi gone don't do that just get a better intercooler obviously that's a poor design
So put a small self tapping screw in the little hole
just add a oil catch can and that solves your problem

Not needed, an intercooler it's already one, a small bolt and you're good to go
