Wondering if you're still active on here. I have been trying to track down a seemingly engine related gremlin that throws no codes. I have about a 500rpm delta and noticeable loss of power when it happens (rpms cruising on flat ground with soc at 53 normally 2400, when problem shows up which is now most of the time that goes to 2900) it seems like when I have the higher cruising rpms I have much less overall power when I pass.

Have not had the time to go to the testing. Work work work...

Did you end up getting your emission checked in Aurora? Did you let them know that you burn E85? Doubtful that impacted your vehicle's ablility to meet emissions, provided you ran a tank of E0-10 through it before you brought it down to get checked (system WILL learn that the injectors are running lean w/ E85, will run rich if you put gasoline in on the next fill-up) Hopefully there wasn't an issue, I'd hate to think that Ford/EPA believes there to be an in use emission problem w/ your vehicle.

Hi I really appreciate your help with the 08 VSS wires on the Sync Nav systems. Is there any way you can tell me which connector pin is the the vss for the 09? Sorry for including all this info in the email:

Ford Escape Hybrid 2009 w/ Microsoft Sync Navigation. Which wire on the back of the stereo is the VSS cable? I have seen the wiring for the 2008 model and it is different for the 2009. I even have the wiring diagrams for the three connectors going in to back of the navigation/audio unit but they do not clearly state which pin/cable is the VSS/Vehicle Speed Sensor. Below is the name of the 3 connectors and the circuit function for each pin.
