2011edgese

I was forced to make the move asap simce the car waa still very drivable but with a rough idle. It was near a front brake job, tailpipe rotting, power steering has a minor leak. Left turn Blinker wouldnt spring back. Ac wasmt as cold. Tranny had the notorious once in a while "bang!". All still tolerable amd very drivable. Bit couldnt justify near 2 grand.

Update. Waterpump was going. Comfirmed by a reputable shop in my area. Estimate was near 1800$. I ended up driving the car to a dealer amd traded it in. Gave me peanuts for it (3500) but negotiated a 2015 edge titanium with 30k miles 2.0liter for 23k. Gave me 156k miles with very little issues. Never stranded. Loved it tremendously.

Thxs for the knowledge wwwperfa. Ill see this coming week on redoing the oil change and have a tech look at it.

Yep, been doing some reading on that code. Out of curiosity, how long do you thing ican drive before i head to the shop?

Ahh I see. Mines being intermitten during driving, does it make sense? There is moments where it fine then comes back. But yeah, i think next stop is a pro shop to diagnose it.

I know... crossed my mind. :/ what are the chances of being the cam sensor that has only 1 bolt? Also... any idea what the symptoms are of its the chain? Asking since its intermitten. On every drive there moments when its smooth.

*code Is the sensor hard to get to? Seems must likely since it has the [warm up and it works symptoms] compared to a failed mechanical part that if totally bad at all times. At least thats what I am hoping for. Might explain why 1 bank runs negative amd the other positive on the fuel trims. ALSO... it say crankshaft-camshaft, is it called the same? Or its 2 different sensors? Reason I found out was, I was in the highway going uphill and noticed a drop in performance when I gave it gas aggresively, I noticed it didnt feel as strong as usual. So i kept giving it gas on and off amd noticed that sometimes it felt strong and other times it felt like it had a clogged converter. Then i plugged in the scanner and got the code.

Finally got a cold but no check engine light since it's still pending. P0016

Awesome! Ill compare. Ended getting a oil change today. Told the tech to pressure the coolant system since I have a very small leak. (Head gasket) concerns. So they did amd found some coolant but couldnt see where it was coming from. They said to just monitor the level and see if it gets worse. I did check for steam out the tail pipe in the moorning to see if there was any, smelled the pipe too as it got cranked... didnt smell sweetness amd didnt see any white smoke. So im crossing my fingers its a slihht leak somewhere else.

I think you are correct. Thxs for the info... doing a oil change tomorrow, its over due. When i find the culprit, I will post. Hopefully its not bad. Still love this car! Next one will be another edge hopefully.

No vct on my scanner. Whats the firing order? Bank 1 is next to the firewall or next to the front bumper?

I don't recall seeing vct on the scantool menu, ill look into again. Yup, no codes at all. I cleaned the air filter [kn] and reoiled it when I cleaned the throttlebody and Iac. The module didnt look bad honestly. But the filter did need a cleaning. Throttle body had moderate gunk buildup, not severe but it was there. Typical oil build up inside the boot, cleaned it too. Checked all the vacuum lines. Checked the Booster line. I can tell you it definately feels more powerful... nice performance increase by doing all that! Its just at idle.... once you give it even the slightest gas, its butter smooth. I was hoping not to do the plugs, might be my next step. Yeah, i checked for codes before shuttung it off... its clean. I take the car to those Quality Tune Up locations, 29.99 for oil and filter. Figured its as much as me buying the oil and filter amd stuck with the old oil, might as well let them do it. Change it every 3000 miles. So no clue what brand they oil. Probably super cheap. :/

Yeah.. it is odd. Plugd have been replaced and currently have about 86k miles on them. Will look into the o2 sensor to see the sweep. Vct advance, wouldnt know since I dont know how to check. No gas issues, decent mpg. Coolant seems fine, no oil on it. It was a tiny bit low, just added water. This started about 4 to 5 days ago. Slowly started to get more trembling in the morning. Ill see how bad it gets and maybe a checklight comes around.

Ok. 30 min of driving and heres the last pic. Also... its had a smooth idle for the last 10 minutes. Seems like when it cools it aggrevates the issue. Btw.... whats that quiet whistle these edges have. Googled around amd seems like everyone has it. I know this car has had oy since i have owned it. But curious if you guys found out what is it.

Here is a observation, I noticed that every once in awhile when I do come to a full stop at a light or stop sign the car idles smoothly so this is like a intermittent problem but for the most part it does tremble

Driving the car for 20 minutes and I took a picture so you guys see the number right now. The only thing that sticks out for me is how One bank is lean and other ones rich but within the 8% range .is that a clue?

Havent sprayed any more electrical cleaner for over 1 year and its working fine! Worked great for me. The key for me was to spray the whole damn bottle. Ohh .. the brake booster was done through the recall over a year ago. No hissing and no odd feelings. And pressing the brakes has no effect on the trembling so i highly doubt it.

This been happening for 5 daya now. Amd each morning the trembling is slightly stronger but calms down after 5 min of driving.

Here they are....... short term hovers at positive 0 to 4% while driving.

I cleaned the throttle body with the teflon safe spray and cleaned the aic module with aic spray. No improvement. Never done the throttlebody .. still original.

Thxs Omar... ill look into that purge valve since I did do a cleaning on the throttle body and didnt help.

Hey guys.... my 150k edge is having a rough idle. Obd2 scanner shows no codes and no misfires. Everything checks out good there. Buy... after initial warm up, the enginr tremblrs slightly. Very noticable and it is progressing more apparent. Only at idle. Once slight gas is applied, very normal and healthy operations. Again... no check engone light anf good normal mpg. Im suspecting a IAC? If so.. where is it located? So i can spray it to clean it. Is it part of the throttle body? Can it br reached somehow of it is to clean it?

You're right! Never thought of it that way.

Yup... seems like thats the only solution. Thxs for the info.

Thxs for the replies! Im aware of the speed not being a factor in recharging faster. But looks like not manu ppl here have had the mykeu problem. Maybe the other OP who did, responds.
