  1. Well I worked on the edge yesterday. What a nightmare. 8 hours later for something that I now know would only take 1 hour. Anyways got the full plug off, stuck the extractor hose in started pumping... nothing. Tried again, again nothing. Decided to just pump oil in. Manual calls for 12oz I put in 15-18oz and still want coming out the fill hole. The unit was bone dry. Basically was over heating and the fumes were coming out and into the interior. Couldn't see any leaks anywhere at all. The fill plug had no metal shavings on it either. I'll have to monitor it the next couple days. 50km drive home from where I worked on it and no smell. I don't think anyways we were sitting in a garage with the smell for so long I couldn't tell anymore ??
  2. Well I'm changing the fluid tomorrow as it should be better weather. Got some gear oil decided to open it and see what it smells like, Sure enough..... Same smell I'm getting in the vehicle. I'm not very mechanically inclined but like doing things myself. Not sure where I'm going to be looking for leaks but hoping it is the vent. My luck it won't be. I'll try to check everywhere I can though or else I'll have to take it in to dealership. I'll still replace the oil praying it fixes it =P
  3. Sorry been crazy around the holidays. Thanks for the replies. I'll definitely need to check out the ptu. No heated garage I can use right now and it's been way to cold to do it outside. I was thinking maybe it could be some type of leaking in the evap system. I'll try to replace oil in the ptu if nothing improves get it smoked for leaks. As it comes from driver side wheel well possibly something with the canister. *shrugs
  4. I'm guessing everything looks normal? Since there are tons of posts about the ptu I'm leading towards that being the smell. I had a technician look under the vehicle for leaks and had a friend check it out plus I have looked and can't seem to find anything. Guess I'll get a mityvac and pump out the oil and pump in some new stuff as a last attempt. Should of went with fwd ??
  5. Well instead of screenshots i decided to record a video of the graphing. Not sure why the graph gets all screwed up through out the video, if that was the software i used or youtube compression. I switch between graph and table so hopefully you can get a better view of whats happening. I was using torque but thought forscan would be better. Hopefully i have the right readings there is a ton to choose from i wasnt to sure exactly what was what =P It wasnt a full cold start if needed i can do that later when its cooled. I started it increased rpm then drove it for 10+min. Some highway driving as well took it up to 140km or so. I used Forscan mobile and have a <!> under log which reads [06:25:52.542] DTCs in IPC: U0253:00-28, U0424:00-28 Also the 02S22.SFTF on both the PC and mobile app constantly read 99.22% Hope something here helps you. If you need anymore info let me know
  6. Its the valve attached to the firewall, next to the throttle body. I thought it was called a purge valve I could be wrong. Somewhat still back at square one though I had the smell return on my way to work while at the coffee shop drive thru. Its at least 80% better, not nearly as pungent. I'm not to sure if its maybe from driving it the way it was for couple weeks, perhaps it needs sometime to vent out. I don't know much about it. I also filled with 87 octane instead of 91 so that might be part of the problem. If you can still check out the data graph for me that'd be awesome, just to see if maybe its not running at 100%. My girlfriend has the vehicle today so I cant run the scan right now but will be able to later tonight on my way to work. Ill post the shots tomorrow morning of the sensor readings
  7. Just an update Because of the EVAP CEL and from some of the problems I have read online I decided this morning to swap out the canister purge valve in a final attempt to fix the situation. Sure enough that's what it was (knock on wood) drove it around for a good 3 hours and haven't had the smell yet. When I go to work tonight ill know for sure after a cold start. When I checked the valve it wasn't leaking i wasn't getting any suction whatsoever so im guessing maybe it was stuck closed? probably over saturating the charcoal canister or expelling from somewhere else? i dunno =P Thanks for the help, if no other updates then this was what was causing it. Great site. Great community
  8. alright. i have forscan but for PC. I needed it for the BMS reset. Ill try the graphing tonight on the way to work and post in the AM. Thanks again man
  9. purchased from a used car dealership. They said they ended up replacing all spark plugs after my second time in from a misfiring engine. They told me if its the cats there could be raw fuel in the cats still and would take sometime to clear them out. I ran the highway for a couple hours the other day on premium fuel, then did city driving for another 2 hours and wasnt getting any smell whatsoever, or very very mild i couldnt tell as ive been smelling it so much sometimes i think my brain is still smelling it =P again took it on the highway to take the kiddo to see some xmas lights about a 30minute highway drive, we got there driving through the light show at 10km/h didnt notice any smell and the heat was on high the whole time. as far as running right I dont notice any performance issues but i havent driven any other edge so I cant compare, no codes are showing. I also purchased torque app and have been looking at 02 sensor readings, although im not to sure exactly what im looking for from some research it all seems normal. is there any graph diags i can run to screen shot to help yall see how its running?
  10. Cabin air filter is new. I had a friend climb underneath the car and take photos all around the PTU with no signs of leaks. I thought maybe it was the battery as that is the only thing i replaced, so i replaced with another one and still same smell. I took it to the shop and was told it could be my Cats, When i purchased the vehicle i took it to the highway, wanting to see what it could do, got up to 5-6k rpm and had a flashing check engine light and lost power. So basically it started misfiring, did it again when trying to pass a vehicle. I took it back to the dealership they said 6th cyl was misfiring so he changed 6 cyl with the 3rd cyl plug and said it was fixed. I took it out again and misfired again. Took it back asked why he swapped a bad one with a good one and he said cause he wanted to see if it was the plug or a coil issue. Now with a bunch of misfires and the fact the shop to me it could be the cats i have reason to believe it is. I was told Ford wouldnt replace the cats under warranty (80,000mile) unless there is a CEL code. Past 2 days ive been running premium gas, it has significantly reduced the smell, now I put in midgrade and its back to bad smell again. Basically my question is should i keep using cheap fuel to clog the cat even more and try to trip a CEL code to get warranty replacement? Should i remove the cats and straight pipe it? Other than emission checks, is there anything else id have to worry about running catless? Seems to be more on the driver side around the wheel well, passenger side doesnt put off much of a smell at all. Thanks for the replies guys!
  11. I have a 2011 Edge with a bad Smell coming from engine bay. It smells the most around the front driver side wheel well. This smell comes in through the vents if the heat is on during traffic stops. Kind of like a natural gas/propane/rotten egg smell. I've read it could be the Cats but the smell isn't emitting from the back tailpipe. It also happens randomly. Started 2 weeks ago and would happen a couple times during an hour commute, now I am getting the smell even at idle letting the vehicle warmup. When it started I was at a red light, heard a faint sound come from the engine then got a CEL P0455 large evap leak. Read it's probably a loose cap/ez fuel flap jam cleaned it out with compressed air, reset code and nothing has popped back up since. I've checked the purge valve, no vacuum when no power is connected. I've checked the PTU with no leaks detected. Even had a camera take pictures of the top of the unit to spot the puking vent, again nothing. I've tried a higher octane fuel. I've put in a bottle of fuel treatment, no luck. I've got a scanner have ran tests on Torque with no problems that I can see. Just seeing if anyone has some advice/experience with this. I'd just like to see if I can get a better idea of what I can check for. Dealer wants 140$ just to look at it ?? I'll see if a local garage has a smoke test, if the evap leak and this smell are in common.
