Got a 2013 that of course just turned 104,000. Ran fine, but went to pass someone and it started chugging, missing, etc. Check engine was flashing, Got it home and it seemed fine but had a random missfire code. Cleared code. I knew plugs were probably original (we bought used). So I bought plugs. On the way back, check engine back on. Got home and could hear a very audible rattle coming from front of engine. Catalytic out of range on bank one and two. Changed oil and plugs. Cleared codes Noise seemed to get better, no more missing. Wife took to work and it died on the road. I got there and started up. i could keep running but only by keeping foot on gas a bit. Ford dealer was about 2 blocks. Got it there. They haven't finished diagnosing, but said seemed to have water in oil. And computer said low compression in three cylinders. Doesn't sound good. Just wondering how many of these engines go bad?? My thinking is something to do with the timing chains. Skip a tooth? Out of time bleeding compression? Where is the water coming from? Why the catalytics go bad same time?? Don't know what to do now if engine is bad. I guess replace. Sucks!!
