gillyallan Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 My last 2 cars at one point or other had a coil pack fail but car would run on limp home mode on 3 cylinders. Now given my ecoboost only has 3. If 1 were to fail would it manage to run on 2 ? Hypothetical question but was just thinking about it the other day.

iantt Posted June 8, 2015 Share Posted June 8, 2015 It will run fine on 2. The ecu alters the firing, valve timing and fueling to compensate for a cyl loss and stil runs fairy smoothly after. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
