đ ‘It’s running so much smoother. It sounds awesome when I put my foot down and the lost power has returned. The results are better than I expected given the age of the car. Thank you for doing a fantastic job!!’

đ Here we have a much loved Ford Cougar 2.5 V6 (1999 61,150 miles) booked in for diagnostic consultation and Engine Carbon Clean.
âšī¸ The owner had reported it being lacking in response, worse on fuel economy and generally running louder, boomy and sluggish compared to what it should be.
đ Initial inspection found little of note in the engine bay with no obvious rattles or leaks. There was a tell tale bass purr to the engine and associated boom to the exhaust and the response was a little lacking for what these V6 engines should be like. The engine was also idling a little higher than it should and a little inconsistently.
đģ Initial diagnostics found a couple of old engine codes present including one for the inlet manifold runner control.
đ Live data monitoring showed good values across the board with no misfires, coolant lovely and warm and lambda values looking good.
đ¨âđ§ On with the clean and the engine and after just ten minutes the bass note started to subside, the engine smoothing out and the revs started to edge a little lower. By the end it was quiet, smooth, responsive and burbly again with a lower RPM and idling steadily.
