I honestly always considered and wondered how effective it would be using plain oil natural h2o(water)then removing the intake manifold and using a portable heavy duty clothes steamer with a built in hose attached to it,if proven effective could be a safer alternative than using harsh chemicals and brushes,only a thought which i had for quite sometime now.  Z

When we were putting the engineers through the ringer with our in depth questions at the Ford assembly plant in Chicago.



There came a time when it was open suggestion time for improvements we'd like to see on futures SHO'S. With the usual suggestions we've all talked about, I asked about a Ford approved cleaning/service regimen for us to follow or come to them to have done.

The wife pointed out that this was the one time the lead engineer on the drive-train stopped his actions and searched for a pen and paper to write it down....fingers crossed.

Good question, hope they come up with something!  Nice to see a Gen I Edge in the lot as well.
2007 Ford Edge SEL, Powerstop F/R Brake Kit, TXT LED 6000K Lo & Hi Beams, W16W LED Reverse Bulbs, 3BSpec 2.5w Map Lights, 5W Cree rear dome lights, 5W Cree cargo light, DTBL LED Taillights

If tuned:  Take note of the strategy code as you return to stock (including 3 bar MAP to 2 bar MAP) -> take car in & get it serviced -> check strategy code when you get car back -> have tuner update your tune if the strategy code has changed -> reload tune -> ENJOY!

Maybe they'll come up with something... Thanks for getting the problem some air time in a good forum. Wish they would just add a PFI in tandem with the GDI like they did on the new Ford GT... Plenty of fuel to do it. Maybe even tune it to 600 CHP like they did in that application while their at it!

Damn, I wish I knew there was gonna be a q&a......

I'd like to know what happened between the twin force and ecoboost that they removed the e85 rating and the extra ponies that came with it....

I enjoyed watching the engineers squirm a lil bit as well.

But kudos to each of them as they did put forth their best efforts while simultaneously trying to pass off the hot potato to the next engineer they summoned elsewhere from within the bowels of the plant.

With each subsequent engineer that entered the room, the look of shock and bewilderment intensified.

Ha! Great stuff for sure!

Although I did notch it back a psi or two (or three, or four) and did my best to attempt bridging the divide so to speak, between not only our concerns and wishes, but also between their obvious intentional self imposed censorship for fear of receiving 'x' amount of canings from Corporate Personnel, I agree we did leave them with lots to discuss and think about.

FMC was gracious in their time & presented each of the attendees with a rewarding, memorable experience for sure.

Top notch. I for one was happy learning that the SHO, even though not a true stellar sales producer in the sense, is still very much on the radar from what I gathered, & is continuing on.
