With the Ford Ecoboost engine, Ford proved that bigger is not always better. This engine has come a long way from the traditional engine. The smaller and lighter EcoBoost engine features technological advancements that improve fuel economy and performance and reduce emissions. This settles the doubts as to why the Ecoboost engine secured \u2018International \u2018Engine of the Year\u2019 three times consecutively.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This guide will help you uncover all you need to know about Ford Ecoboost, its mechanism, and the issues with the engine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What is Ford EcoBoost?<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Due to the rising depletion of energy resources, it is high time car owners realise that every drop of fuel is precious. Talking about the fuel crisis, Ford Motors had seen it coming earlier. This led them to engineer the Ecoboost engine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the name suggests, the Ford Ecoboost engine is a merger of two renowned features; \u2018eco\u2019-friendly and turbo-\u2019boost\u2019. The engine offers a unique combination of light-weight, compact size, horsepower<\/a>, fuel efficiency, performance, and durability. The Ford EcoBoost car engines come in a range of 1.0-litres to 3.5-litres.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mechanism of Ford Ecoboost<\/h2>\n\n\n\n
\"Turbochargers
The turbochargers in the Ford EcoBoost engine deliver maximum power and torque. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

The Ford EcoBoost engine delivers high horsepower and torque through the combined efforts of the following three elements.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. TWIN INDEPENDENT VARIABLE CAMSHAFT TIMING (TI-VCT) <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The Ford Ecoboost engine makes use of Ti-VCT to ensure the delivery of maximum torque and power at the desired time. Ti-VCT continually adjusts the intake and exhaust valves opening and closing while the engine operates. The timing is controlled to boost the power and torque at peak demand.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. TURBOCHARGER  <\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The turbocharged performance of the Ford Ecoboost engine is achieved through twin turbochargers<\/a>. The power delivered by a turbocharger is similar to a 6.0-litre or V8 engine. While it also gives better fuel efficiency and lessens greenhouse emissions. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Ecoboost turbocharger features a turbine-driven element on the exhaust. This turbine compresses air and forces it into the combustion chamber. The increased air and fuel maximise the engine\u2019s power, originating the \u2018Boost\u2019 of the Ecoboost engine.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. DIRECT FUEL INJECTORS<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The direct fuel injectors provide a calculated amount of fuel in a high-pressured fine mist directly into the combustion chamber. This, in turn, generates the maximum on-demand power. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Ford Ecoboost Engine Issues<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Ford EcoBoost engine has given the traditional car engine a newer perspective. However, this engine is not immune to problems like any other machine. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Some of the issues have been detailed below. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

FUEL PRESSURE ISSUE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Ford EcoBoost car engines with high mileage reportedly experienced low fuel pressure problems. This harms the overall engine performance. However, this issue is usually due to a bad fuel pump<\/a> and can be resolved by changing it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

OVERHEATING<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The failing coolant system primarily caused the overheating issue in the Ford EcoBoost 1.0-litre. This caused the engine\u2019s recall in 2008. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The issue occurred due to nylon coolant tubing that failed at high temperatures. The issue was resolved through replacement pipes of high-temperature endurance.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

VALVE DAMAGE<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

One of the common Ford EcoBoost engine issues is carbon build-up. Due to direct fuel injection, the fuel goes through the intake valve stems. These valves are not naturally cleaned, which causes a buildup of carbon resulting in an obstructed flow of fuel. This in turn causes damage to the valve.   <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The common symptoms of a damaged intake valve are car misfiring upon idling and hard starts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
