I don’t know. I wouldn’t think they’re related.

There’s almost always a bunch of maintenance you need to do when you buy a used vehicle. The better the original condition, the less repair work you will have to do. Sounds like this Escape may have been neglected a bit.

I have 2010 Ford Escape ( bought used 3 weeks ago) oil light immediately came on, dealer “fixed” claiming faulty sensor, 1 week later on again and a dripping noise, also notice fuel economy worse. Went to dealer and different garage said sensor had not been replaced and this was the problem. 1 week later engine light flashing, garage says fuel ignition issue. Could these be related?

Is there a lot of movement in the engine? I wonder if you could have a bad motor mount? You would probably feel a “clunk” as the engine shifts when hitting the gas, taking your foot off the gas pedal, or when the car switches from EV to combustion engine mode.

I might also listen to your starter in case starting the engine is making a weird noise.

In reply to AJ. Sounds like your issue might be fuel starvation. Check to make sure your gas gauge is working and see if you can determine if the gauge is accurate.

I Have A 1998 Honda Civic EX. I Have A Loss Of Power Issue When Driving After 60MPH, When I Am At The Same Speed For About 15 minutes My Car Will Lose Fuel Power For About 10 seconds then kick back in Then Do It Again. This Is Repeated About 4 Times Then It no longer happens unless I up my speed more. I’m Currently Trying to determine if this could possibly be caused by the Fuel Injectors being faulty. I’ve Replaced My O2 Sensor B2 , New Catalytic Converter, New Distributer, New Fuel Pump, New Spark Plugs, New Air Filter, New Fuel Filter. I Am A Loss And I Have No Other Possibilities That Come To Mind Besides A Possible Dirty MAF Sensor. I’d appreciate any help if it could be given

In reply to Husain.

There are so many factors that may affect fuel economy. Here are some ideas to get you started.

Check your engine air filter. Replace the filter if it’s dirty. Depending on how many miles are on the vehicle, you may want to replace the fuel filter as well. Typically if you have over 100,000 miles on the vehicle and it’s never been replaced, you should think about replacing the fuel filter.

Check your tire pressures. Low tire pressure will consume more fuel.

In reply to Precious. What problems were you experiencing before you added fuel cleaners? Which fuel cleaners did you add, and how much?

Hi. I added these fuel cleaners to my 2013 Subaru Impreza, and it’s been a hell. I’m experiencing this engine stalling recently with the check engine lights. I’ve used my OBD scanner which shows a P0171 code “fuel too lean?”. Please any advice I can get?
