I remember the introductory marketing splash, the Mike Rowe videos on the website, etc. Seem to recall one of the development team for the engine state that a fleet of test "mules" logged like 2 million miles on this engine before full scale production began. Wonder what Ford's experience with the CP4x was with the mules??? :h
What could have slipped through the most through testing programs by Bosch, Ford, and everyone else?
They did not deliberately make a dud.
What is different between having about 1 million units out in the field and the small samples tested?
Did they test in the lab?
Were they using a reference grade fuel and not "field" fuel like we get around the country?
What went wrong?
Is it a field issue? Fuel inconsistency? QC?
Additives incompatibility?
What?
