With S+. the engine rpm is held at 2000 rpm or above When the engine drops below 2000, the transmission downshifts It feels like the transmission is in lockup in each gear, so the acceleration response feels sharper. When in S mode, if you do not use the paddle shifters, it acts pretty much...

From Libertas 1) find correctly sized nylon washers (or - more daring - just pull the buttons off of the circuit board - can this be done without breaking passive functionality) 2) experiment with thinner battery (battery is the fat point) 3) find someone who knows something about circuit boards...

It's not the weather, its the junk the P Zeros pick up now that they are a little worn So far a 1/4 inch drill bit and a Phillips screw driver. Of course in different tires 17,000 miles

Piercing noise Just had front brakes replaced. When I took it in I got the usual "can't be that bad" remark. So I recorded it on the Voice memo phone app. The file is zipped only for uploading. Was able to get a 15 second long squeal. No questions after that Found I could almost play a melody...

I was looking for some Solidworks video and came across this one explaining the operation of a Torsen differential Torsen Differential, How it works ? [ame]

That's all great for the decel. When powering out the other side of the curve (20-45 mph)the rear feels like it breaks free and does a hop-skip to the side. With the S+ mode holding the RPMs above 2000, the available torque exceeds the tire grip. Chicken me lets off the gas becaus there is...

One time the whole radio went dead for 15 minutes. Pulled over, stopped and restarted the car. No change. Before I arrived at home, the unit came back on. I did not have tools with me to remove the battery cable. Has not repeated that symptom. Other times, the music and/or navigation appear to...

EB underbody heat recall I went to schedule the recall work Dealer Service tech said a revision was issued 2 days ago (that would be 7/21) to include gas tank straps. I was not clear if it is the straps or a wrap over the straps. Parts for revision not available until end of Aug. Yes, the...

AC Outlet is 22 deg F . (yes the engine is running) Measured at an independent garage during routine service

Picked up 12-18-2014 Silver Eco premium PP with ceramic seats It's a great ice breaker when meeting new friends

S+ holds the engine rpm above 1900. In hilly terrain this helps mpg because at 1300 rpm(in normal mode) the engine doesn't have much hp. Mpg seems to be 1/2 mpg more in S+ at average speed of 45 mph.bigger reason is the car just runs easier

Correct. Power has to have a time element, Higher horsepower means you use the btu's stored in the fuel faster. In these cars more hp used= faster fuel consumption For higher mpg, you want to use the btu's as slow as you can.:doh: With the way these cars are setup, the lowest fuel/minute seems...

Anyone know if using lower grade octane will affect mpg? You do it Wes, Then let us know. Octane reduces flashing of the fuel under higher pressures. Which is why in turbos, the wisdom is to use a higher octane fuel. Horsepower lowers with the lower octane, it is partly because the computers...

Manual or automatic? My automatic seems to burn the least fuel from 19 to 2200 rpm. Which is why the best mileage is about 70 mph. In traffic, 20-45 mph, watching the instantaneous mpg gauge: Normal driving mode (automatic) seems to keep the selected gear too high=engine speed 14-1800 rpm...

mpg If WesleyEng is honest about 14 mpg, something is wrong with his car. IMO 14 mpg is terrible even for a heavy foot GT Happy I am to have the Mustang without the lower mpg of the GT Sport+ woks best for me when hilly and traffic 24.7 overall according to computer. 6,000 miles so far 29 on...

mpg Challenge for you Run a tank of gas. Don't hit boost pressure. If you are still under 25 mpg There is something wrong with the car. The only way I can get below 18 mpg is to be No or Full throttle all the time.

Turbo Sorry for the problem, but thank you all for the entertainment We, (includes me) are always looking for a way to beat the system. Just a reminder, Ford has thoroughly tested the components as a system. The reason for limiting boost isn't to screw us, but to provide a reliable vehicle. I...

Where can I get a 2 cycle like the one shown in the first animation?
