Start Stop Feature on the 2.3L Ecoboost

[joeb427]

I hate the feature and have to deal with it on both my vehicles. I shut it off after start up.

I installed and tested it for Travis this past weekend. Cinch to install and works great . One thing when you go to install, you don't need to pull the center cover off completely, just enough to reach the clips and pop the button through from the bottom to unclip the cable. Srsly a 5 minute job.. You do need to use some muscle to pull the required trim pcs off so don't be afraid to yank on them

Did you happen to take any photos during the process? It would make a good DIY post.

Just saw this post, I did the same thing. Took me 5 min, I could do it again in half the time.

Pop the shifter cover off, slowly working around it with a couple flat head screw drivers. I didn't use painters tape, but may be a good idea. Any tape would work, duct or masking.

Getting the button out was easy once I figured it out. Not quite enough room for fingers. Use a long flat head screwdriver and push the clip on each side, once from the drivers side then from the passenger side, the button pops right out...install device, goes back together in 30 seconds.

Works great!

I have been driving the truck for about a week now and the start/stop isn't perfect but it doesn't really bother me. I live in the Seattle area so traffic SUCKS. Freeways aren't an option so I end up on back roads a lot, and that means lots of stop lights. That also means a lot of idling, so having the engine shut off makes sense. After letting off the brake I give the truck an extra half second before going, that eliminates any awkward starts.

Did you pop just the shift cover, or did you take the cig lighter panel off too?

Nope - just the shift cover, no need to do anything else.

Good tip. I removed a few more pc which allowed me to get my hands on the clip but either way is still super fast.

Turn on the defroster. I've yet to have the auto stop/start kick in with the defrost turned on. I always keep the defrost on at level 1, when the windows are up, anyway.

I test drove one after I made the deal for mine and the start/stop never engaged. Pretty much all the conditions listed above were met as far as I could tell.

Compared to my last vehicle, the auto start stop is significantly less disruptive. I barely know its there, and haven't minded it as much.

I have this haven’t had the chance to install yet but have seen it in the f-150s totally worth it
