  1. why was the oil level low? is it checked regularly? first time it was low or has it happened before?

     

    note that short tripping will cause a lot of oil to enter via the pcv system into the intake/engine and will be hard on engine life. maybe you should consider installing a catchcan. you can find related topics on this forum, including one from lildisco iirc.

     

    why was the engine replaced? hopefully you have a VEP engine now. some received Cleveland blocks ...

  2. depending on which part of canada, they use salt or rocks (!). regardless having krown rustproofing applied/maintained is a popular thing to do there. especially important if you have a 2011+ vehicle, i see more rust issues in those MYs.

     

    in past eras japanese vehicles were known to be quite rust resistant. seems like they are slowly falling off the cliff as well. i believe they galvanized exposed metal to maintain that protection.

  3. how long have you owned your edge? mileage? maintenance history esp oil and coolant? how do oil and coolant look:? any mixing? over/underfilled?

     

    best we can hope for is coils, plugs, and/or pcm. not surprised you are getting misfires on bank 1, usually where it happens. the general misfire code is what worries me. could be pcm failure driving this. to fix you would repair the pcm and replace plugs/coils all in 1 go.

     

    the cat code may be a downstream consequence of all this.

     

    there is a real possibility you are looking at timing chain and/or wp failure.  put your vehicle on an obd scanner and note the errors on both intake and exhaust solenoids on both banks.

    I just replaced a master cylinder. Brakes were working, just spongy. No issues with ABS, now they just lock up after a while. I can bleed the pressure from the either front bleed valve and drive it until it locks up over time. I think I just got a bad quality MC. I just wanted to see if anyone else had a similar issue. 

    what brand mc did u install? if aftermarket, their seals are known to be no good and usually transferring the old seals over fixes issues.

     

    otherwise you may need to bench bleed the mc.

     

    note that this generation is at a point where the abs is starting to give way if fluids have not been regularly maintained. so it could still be the HCU acting up as it is the distribution box for the brakes. you have to bleed the abs separately from the main system to get air out of it using a service procedure available through forscan lite, high end scan tools, or the dealer.

  5. well if the mechanicals are sound, we would need to verify the electricals - alternator, battery, starter, and key  fob.

     

    if the dash comes on as normal when you turn the key but the antitheft light is flashing fast, there is most likely a problem with the keyfob. in a very low percentage of situations, it is the PATS ring.

    SSM 49210 - 2009-2020 Various Vehicles - Turbocharger Oil Supply Tube/Drain Tube/O-ring Or 6.7L Pedestal Gasket Oil Leaks

    https://drive.google.com/file/d/1IU8OeBwspTXpfGvIuhfzKlTZ4H6mO3_n/view?usp=drive_link

    Some 2018-2019 Edge/Continental/Fusion/MKZ, 2018 MKX, and 2019 Nautilus vehicles equipped with a 2.7L EcoBoost or 3.0L EcoBoost engine may exhibit an oil leak from the engine oil pan RTV seal.

  8. @SammyV nothing grossly wrong with the powertrains in the 2019+ MYs but

     

    1. possible coolant loss due to faulty egr cooler

    2. transmission jerking issues that usually can be resolved through programming updates, sometimes need a new torque converter

    3. low levels of fluid in the ptu and or rdu from factory

    4. the big one to me, faulty of start stop accumulators, which when leaky could possibly cause a fire

     

    in any case, highly advise getting the max ford protect warranty (premiumcare if electronics heavy especially) with your purchase or soon after. you can buy from an online ford dealer such as https://www.lombardfordwarrantys.com/

  9. can't tell you how many people become new owners of used cars and are unprepared for the damage already in place. many times the seller will not tell the buyer the full history, just enough to make issues seem innocuous. just sad.

    i think you are locked into the plug-coil-pcm death cycle. you will see the tsbs in the link i posted above.

     

    everything should be repaired/replaced all at one time. https://circuitboardmedics.com can repair your damaged pcm.

     

    you can buy the coil kit ba5z-12259-a from any online ford dealer, or from swagperformance on ebay. this will have coils and plugs and manifold gaskets.

  10. @TxBucki dont need the alternator to start the vehicle, the battery should be plenty strong. i assume the cranking is at normal speed, not slow. of course each attempt without a successful start will drain the new battery further.

     

    what happens when you use starting fluid? does it turnover then? if it does, it is a fuel problem. did you have any signs of that with the old battery? i dont know if the explorer has the same setup as an f150, but this is one possibility

     

    unless you tried jumpstarting the vehicle before replacing the battery, there shouldn't have been an electrical issue created by the battery.

     

    should definitely check the alternator. since it is an obd2 system, check codes with a code reader.

     

     

  11. a group 65 battery will fit just fine. look for the highest cca rating you can find. among agms, odyssey is king.

     

    i don't think they use the R batteries in 2011+ .

    IF winter isnt too harsh, you can do well with Michelin crossclimate 2's. excellent driving response and weather handling.

     

    If winter is harsh, Nokian Hakkapeliitta is top notch. bridgestone tires are great until they hit 50% then they are more like all seasons.

     

    numerous all weather/3peak tires out there that are quite good also.
