bwatson19 Posted May 20, 2017 Report Share Posted May 20, 2017 Hello all. New to the site with some issue with my 2012 F150 that someone might be able to help me with. I have the eco boost with 75K on the it. About a week ago started having a intermittent no start/no crank condition. Spent 23 years in the USAF as a mechanic so I have a extensive amount of diagnostic tools and checked all the usual subjects. Had it running today and noticed a shutter in the engine and the low oil pressure light /service advance trac light came on. Tested and I still have oil pressure when this happens. Probably a ECM problem but taking a leap and seeing if anyone else has seen or heard of this problem and might be able to give me a route to fix it myself. Have a extended warranty but my dealer in San Antonio really sucks. Thanks for any help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 Thanks for joining! Sorry, but I haven't heard of this problem before, so I can't be of much help in pointing you in the right direction. Hopefully you have a Ford dealer that you can trust to help you find the problem and the solution. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tss Posted May 21, 2017 Report Share Posted May 21, 2017 I also welcome you and apologize that I can't really provide you with assistance and what you are experiencing. I do know what it's like to have a dealer you don't want to bring the car to though. I feel for you. I finally found a dealer that is mediocre, which I will take!

bwatson19 Posted May 22, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 All, Thanks for the welcome. Tinkered around a little more today with no luck. Thinking its a ECM issue. Going to the dealer today and I will let you know the outcome. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mjhpadi Posted May 22, 2017 Report Share Posted May 22, 2017 Very interested in what you find out. Hopefully the dealer will find and fix the problem! Good luck! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SHOdded Posted May 24, 2017 Report Share Posted May 24, 2017 Common to have cam phaser/timing issues with this gen. Also stretched timing chain. Any rattles on startup/extended rattles? Also might want to check the MAP sensors and Throttle body for oil pooling/contamination. No codes in the PCM? Yes, you should always return to stock tune and 2 bar MAP when taking your car in to the dealer for service!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bwatson19 Posted May 25, 2017 Author Report Share Posted May 25, 2017 SHOdded, No codes present. After checking the starting and charging system i pulled the throttle body and cleaned it and tested the MAP sensors and all was good, The only thing happening at at start up was a slight rough idle but it cleared up after 30 seconds or so. Before I took it to the dealer I started having a new problem. After 2-3 minutes at idle there was a shutter in the engine and the oil gauge went to 0. The low oil pressure message and advancetrac light came on as well. Thinking about it now it might be a timing chain issue. I have a extended warranty on it so took it to the dealer, Hopefully it will be covered. Should know when I finally get a call in a couple of weeks. My dealers service dept has a lot to be desired. Thanks for the reply and I will let you know what they find. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
