Wow.......I'm an idiot. I've been keeping up with this and still posted that question. Let me get some more coffee in my blood. Sorry bro.

What did the leakdown test reveal!?!?!?!?

I don't recall James saying that one was done.

My mind wants to know the answer so bad my fingers typed what I was thinking before my brain even woke up. sorry.

Lol I should have it back at the dealer tomorrow morning. Loaner vehicle is waiting, thanks ford customer care rep.

 

[D98GT]

Glad that worked for you!

I would love for a service "tech" to tell me my oil separator caused an engine failure. I would eat that reject alive.

don't give em an excuse.. Thats all..

Don't worry guys the jersey boy is more edumacated then us southerners...!

You are right.. Been doing this longer then you been alive..

This is what I've been thinking since reading the first few pages of this thread this morning. Your oil sep is getting way too much oil in it. Hell, I run Amsoil myself and over the last 1500 miles I've not gotten a 1/4 of the oil in mine that you have in yours.

With the sputtering and all, I'm of the opinion that something int he PCV system is dumping enough oil into your intake tract to cause smoking, stuttering and backfiring issues. I've had these exact symptoms on other cars/trucks that had a PCV Valve stuck open. The higher the engine compression, the more pronounced the symptoms were.

I hope it's a quick, simple fix brother!!

Thank you Sir.




Now onto today. Drove the car around and put the last 90 miles it needed. Well actually it has 527 miles on it. Anyway i took it to the dealer this morning and well i wasnt pleased. They informed me that Ford requires 2 oil consumption test to be done. I quickly informed them i would not be putting another 500 miles on the car just for a test. Why should i be out extra fuel, mileage, and wear and tear on my car. I told them the FCC Rep wanted the car dropped off and for you to diagnose the problem if indeed it did eat the oil. Well then they tell me they dont have a loaner for me to drive and that their rental dept. closes at noon, it was 12:47. I was not happy and expressed my feelings. The service manager then came out and talked to me, very courteous and professional guy. He took my car back himself and had his tech check the oil verses the previous levels. I found out they scribed the dipstick with the level of the oil when i had brought it in and after they had changed the oil. The level when i took it in today was below both levels according to the tech. After everything, they found me a loaner and sent me on my way and told me theyd be in touch with me on monday. On a side not the techs there are cool as hell and all wanted to know about the exhaust. One has a 12 5.0 and the other has a RTR. I now feel better knowing my car is in their hands.

If Ford made you do all that and it turns out to be just a PCV valve, well to put it nicely someone there needs to go back to tech school.

I doubt a defective PCV valve will make it burn that much oil. Maybe on a boosted application with screwed up vacuum line routing, but certainly not on a completely stock N/A motor.

If the oil is coming from the PCV valve, it's getting there via excessive blowby. The PCV valve can't pass oil into the intake tract that isn't already in the crankcase.

Guys, I made the vacuum hose statement as a joke. I really do think something is up with his engine. NA engines do not do that as skyrender stated.

I know that the PCV system on older engines basically consisted of a valve and a baffle under the valve cover. Any differences in this engine.

HOLY SHIT is that the loaner?!?!

 

[Mystickeith50]

Lol I was thinking the same thing. Is that the loaner? Lololol.

 

[LindsayEOD]

I think he said in another thread that he was getting a GT500? Kona blue is sweet!

 

[Mike K]

Buy it! You know you NEED it...
