" Then there was the EPA mandated cylinder fuel cutoff if the engine has more than one misfire in a certain amount of time. The Ecoboost intercoolers were not allowed to have weep holes like many older turbo charged cars used to have since the EPA does not allow unfiltered air to escape the engine. This caused moisture to pool at the lowest point of the intercooler and would sometimes get ingested by the engine. Not enough to harm it, but enough to cause a few misfires which would then cause the truck to shut off all fuel going to those injectors for 30 seconds causing a dangerous bucking situation with low power. Why? Because un-burned fuel will damage a catalytic converter so the EPA forced automakers to have this in their programming. "
Is this what the early Eco intercooler problems were? Something that could be solved with a 1/16" drill bit in 5 minutes? Sounds about right. I work almost exclusively for public agencies and am astounded daily with ignorance, bureaucracy, and just plain lack of comprehension whether hereditary or programmed...lol.
