Start-Stop Technology on 2.0L Ecoboost

[Ryom]

I'd prefer being a bit overzealous with regulations over not. It's easier to roll back regs that aren't as helpful as initially thought than to undo ecological damage. We haven't heard about the hole in the ozone layer in a long time and that's because we took the problem seriously... but I still hear some greybeards complain about not being able to use R-12 anymore. Personally, I like being able to go outside for 30 minutes without slathering on SPF50.

I am biased because I grew up and lived in Northern California for over 50 years, but there's a reason the lung cancer rates there are among the lowest. Regulation and education. Love it or hate it, this is what self governance is about. You can still smoke. You can still drive insanely impractical but fun vehicles. Eat whatever you want. You just might have to pay and/or be inconvenienced a little more. Remember, slow government is good governance.

Any thoughts out there on The start-stop technology as related to the turbocharger? I realize it's a gas saver and great for the Hybrid, but it would seem that constant engine restarts during stop and go city driving would cause additional stress on the turbos due to rapid changes in temperature which could increase Coking, and reducing pressure (at least momentarily) which in turn lead to brief oil starvation to the turbos. I've had other turbos (not Ford) that benefited from a one or two minute cool down after driving. Abruptly shutting off every time you come to a stop seems like a bad thing for turbocharged engines. Again, any thoughts would be appreciated.

It's actually Turbo not Turbos.

Toyota does a whole bunch of extra things, just like that.

Not read that Ford did on the Mavericks beyond the simple bare requirements to get something to work.
Hence the reason there are so many "outs" for when it won't activate. Temps being a few of them.

Considering the addition of a light in the back seat power port causes enough draw to disable the AS/S from working for a couple of posters that tested it - I'm very much doubting that an actual electrical pump could possibly run and not draw enough disabling it anyway.

Considering the fuse box only lists this - also doubtful. Unless I missed another name for it.

Electric water pump (hybrid electric vehicle).​

This video popped up by chance in my youtube where a guy was showing the under side of 2022 awd ecoboost and points out the coolant pump for auto stop start.
