Major Ecoboost repair, long delays
My daughter parked her 2013 F150 Ecoboost with about 140,000 miles on it back in mid-May. When she started it back up it would barely run and was very rough. To make a long story short it was parked...

Oh yeah, the electric vacuum pump seems to be there in case you need to apply the brakes while the turbo charger has the intake manifold pressurized. So it connected to the manifold via the brake vacuum booster and debris can be sucked through. Apparently, failures of the electric pumps are not uncommon. The amount of damage that my daughter's truck suffered is. That is what the mechanic told us but based on some other issues that have come up I don't put a lot of stock in what that guy told us but the bottom line is that I still need a good engine.
Yes, vacuum can travel from the pump to the intake, but I can not understand the failure mode of the pump that could damage the engine ?
FYI, my 2022 F150 2.7L EcoBoost has electric power assist brakes and electric power assist steering.
