Good to hear, and Pablo, I do agree with you, but when you need a tuneup, there is no point doing it half and just replacing a few parts. If the item is considered to be a maintenance item, and it is over the mileage, I would rather just replace it than to be concerned with which one was actually bad.

great diyering
but NEVER EVER hose down and wash the engine compartment of an Aero or any of these other newer electronically controlled engines.
Ford does NOT seal the electrical connectors on all the powertrain control electronics, guaranteed corrosion and enough headaches to cause one to drive the rig to the junke yard crusher

blow it off with air and wipe down with damp rag.

Then the emissions fell from around HC 600 ppm to a legal level about 25.

My van is now running smoother than in a long time.
Thank´s for all tips.
