Original owner here 😂<br>Engine was swapped out at around 80k after the original locked up with a 1.6 eco boost and would be down to give you a full story time on it ,it was also tuned after the engine swap so yeah🔥

Love the fact that you work on mostly normal cars with a few supercars and stuff here and there.

Your 2015 Fiesta ST came with the ST2 package.<br>To check is it has been tuned press the cancel button on cruise control when it is running, if you press plus or minus on your cruise control and your tachometer sweeps to different RPMs it HAS been tuned. <br><br>The vacuum noise upon hard acceleration is cause by your sound symposer pushing engine noise into the cabin, delete it. Factory, it will make 21 psi of boost on overboost mode without a tune. BE CAREFUL WITH LSPI!<br><br>You most likely have an escape engine swapped since the factory engine blew up.<br><br>The coolant heats up very quickly on these cars, but the oil temp takes a lot longer.<br><br>The EVAP purge valves often go bad quickly on these cars, it will idle rough after a fuel fill up if that is the case.

I'm 48, & have been wrenching on cars since I could hold a flashlight, or get my once small hands were my grandpa couldn't. The "drilling out" the brake slide pins is ingenious & something that would have been handy a time or three over the years. That one will stay in my mental toolbox so thanks.

"That's it, I'm done. I'm not bidding any more than that." Famous last words when trying to win an auction. 😂

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEtwgIM7cd4&t=950">15:50</a> I'd say that somebody had to swap the engine, put in a 2014 engine that didn't have where to screw the sensor so they made the foil thing and prayed

<a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wEtwgIM7cd4&t=2180">36:20</a> rather than a drill bit, get a gun cleaning kit with brass brushes. You can put that in the drill chuck and use it to clean with virtually no risk of damage.

Im calling bullshit on this and other channels and here is why.<br>We've been buying cars from IAAI and copart for decades and almost NEVER do we get cars from these auctions that are misdiagnosed to these degrees. <br>Yet, somehow, you get them weekly......
