I'm going to try the recal steps. the throttle does seem jumpy at time anyways.

Thanks for the help guys, that does seem like it might line up. I'll try the pedal re-calibrate thing as well as get a log for Torrie.  It's really been bugging me out.

When do they start winterblend gas?  I did just start to notice it in the past month or so.  It's to the point where I am considering detuning and taking it in to the dealer.  If it was the tune I would think I would have always noticed it.

I think its that winter blend gas,probably be best to send Torrie a log,probably need a tweak in the tune,sometimes they adjust the throttle blade at various points which they close and open slower to keep from having any issues like hesitation.  Z
Based on this report the (winter blend)gasoline officially started on 9/16/15.  Z          http://www.atlasoil.com/Blog/Winter-Blend-Gasoline-is-on-its-Way Hope this helps any.

For any of the Unleashed guys, problem or not, I highly recommend the log/retune process. It doesn't cost anything except some time and a blast down your favorite highway on ramp.

I'm not very deep on the 2015 but the 2013 got better every cycle, sometimes just a little but by the time I traded it, the car was about as perfect as I could ask for.

Imagine my horror on the drive to the dealership when i flashed it back to stock, lol.

Depends on your zone. NYC and Chicago zones started 9/15 or so. Philly, Baltimore and DC this week. I'm a truck driver who hauls ethanol.

Product cost about 12k for 7100 gallons plus fuel, tolls (NYC adds 250) and delivery charges...roughly about $15,200. Better have a big tank!

when stock ive had the pedal to the floor for 2-3 seconds once in a blue moon and nothing really happens then whoosh. may have been around 1600-2200. Tuned it was the greatest improvement. havnt been able to fix another issue so who knows.

after doing some research, I will check my intercooler. apparently there is a sludge/condensation issue on the ecoboosts, especially from the south. mine was born and bred in texas for 2 years before I brought it home to the northeast. looks like a simple drilling could solve my issue.

I think you work for a Ford dealer correct?if so please do not drill any kind of holes on your car,its not a F-150,need to take a compressor type suction gun and have all that oil,waste,h20 sucked out properly from the CAC,mt dealer performed this procedure for free,.Z        https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=urMO7Z5d02k

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!

I do work at a ford dealer. I do not have any services done on any of my cars anymore by my dealer. too many issues in the past. I use a different ford dealership for services. I am out of warranty, so I doubt it would be free.
