I honestly regard the software writers for the duratec ECU to be a bunch of idiots.

On my trip to Queensland about 4 months ago, the engine fault light on the dash lit up. Once I finally managed to find a Ford dealer, i was told that the system was incorrectly reporting an ignition coil fault, and the problem was then rectified by flashing the ECU...This caused a lot of frustration and ruined the trip for me.. The first serious journey in a new car resulting in what appeared to be an enormous disaster.

My car with its even more recently upgraded ecu software on the dash, shows the speed and milage in KM/H and temperature in F.. If i change my settings to imperial, i get miles per galon and degrees. If they can't even get such basics right after god knows how many revisions, how can you expect them to tackle more serious issues..

This problem was not there before the ECU upgrade.

My 2C to Ford Engineering (Laugh) :eclipsee_
HIRE SOME REAL ENGINEERS!!
