Good work meeting at work! Glad I can assist! Enjoy!

Glad to hear it worked out! Congrats!

Very nice! Good job, glad I can share some insight!

Cleaned it best I could, sanded, bondo, and then sanded and painted. Not a fan of the fix but didnt have $ to get it professionally done and didn't have the time to weld in a panel.

Perhaps the valve was stuck, when you say without the filter I'm assuming the plug?

@sshawn09 Yes with the plug. When I used that and even with a new filter it hardly runs but with the old filter it runs great.

@@famoushollywood that's a tricky one... If I were to guess that valve plunger is on the brink of being too far out of spec to work right... On the edge so to say. Glad it works now though.

@@sshawn09 Well it only works with my old filter. Everytime I put a new filter in it doesn't work.

@@famoushollywood so after it was working fine with the old filters and you swap to the plug and same results? I know at one point they switched the new filter top to be a little bit different and not sure how it works with the old valve.

I heard thats the new design, unfortunately I have not come across it and cant offer any tips.

These vans are extremely versatile, you can fit a 4 by 8 sheet of plywood or drywall in the back. It can be argued that these are more versatile and convenient for construction than a pickup truck with a limited 6ft bed.

Why false?

@@sshawn09 false meaning it's not disabled instead of true it is disabled

@@kf-qj2je ah gotcha. Thanks for the clarification and taking the time to provide that information.

Sorry I'm not sure. I recommend asking on the Facebook bayou forums

Glad I could help!

No problem 👍

I heard they changed the filter with a new style, you might be up against i that issue. But not sure what exactly it looks like

Sorry I don't have anything to those. I would hope that the valve design was improved but if you have a total stoppage of flow then maybe iced over line or clogged filter.

Thanks for the compliment, I currently do not have a he and my compressor failed less than 2 yrs. Fortunately the only issue I had with my ge after 7 yrs was that water filter valve.

I was giving it gas to keep the oil pressure up and make sure everything gets lubricated well. The engine shouldn't stall out, most likely something else going on.

True on the rack but.... I'm at 276k miles and can't ask for a better vehicle.

@@sshawn09 My 2010 has a Mazda motor that's great but a ford-mounted idler pulley ripped off the front cover of the engine at 45k (traveling at 25 mph ) simply from it's own normal tension and a poor design. Very complex repair for no good reason. Had to pull the crank pulley, retime the valves, woulda cost thousands because they underspecced the part. Replacement pulley had the three bolts the original should have had and would not have failed. Not covered by Ford after warranty. Rear latch failed. Never thought some of these things would go out. Something in the key and steering wheel I had to re-engineer., I forget. Windshield wiper motor. What else, was it a throttle body ?...I forget. Quite a few things before 60 k. Wipers failing. And the roof racks have problematic mounting that rusts holes in the roof. Great. I may be spoiled from a lifetime of Toyota/Nissan but I see a lot of cheap inadequate parts, areas of lazy design and other poor stuff on a vehicle that still mostly does it's job, drives and handles well, is quiet. Not bad, not good. Mine is old but low milage still hasn't broken 100k Of course I've had to do all the usual stuff that is maintenance; flushes, brakes, struts, a lot of suspension replacement no complaints, but it's clear the vehicle is pretty lightweight too. Not tough. I don't regret it, but next mini-SUV will be a used Rav4.

@@ceeweedsl wow, that is an unfortunate list especially the front cover situation. The throttle body is a widespread issue, I actually have a video on that too. Knock on wood, otherwise mine is hanging in there. Good luck!

@@sshawn09 Yep, thanks. That pulley was an incredible fail. Happened at 25 mph one evening the day before our first trip through the mountains on the new (used) 40k vehicle. There were three holes in the cover but they must have saved millions by speccing a two-bolt pulley mount. Of course, Ford took full responsibility for their error! (not). It's a known issue with the 2.5L engine of that era. Huge potential fail for a small savings. I like my Escape in many ways and it's not all bad news or anything but again, they have too many parts failures to be anomalies. It is (or was) indicative of a corner-cutting approach.

Thanks for the step-by-step😊

Glad to hear it!

It's been a while but if I can recall, the harness daisy chains into the system so no extra work was needed.

Thanks for this feedback. I have heard the design changes a bit over the years, perhaps that's why it didn't work, really not sure. Thanks for the measurements as well, all the info is much appreciated. I'm glad you got it working with the new one.

@@sshawn09 Yeah,... just passing along what I learned. Thanks as well for your efforts.

That's great news, congratulations!

The garden hose rubber washers have worked out for folks. I don't think I've ever measured it specifically sorry.

@@sshawn09 thanks either way.. I put the washer on the filter and it's still the water flow is low..I think it's that whole filter piece that I have to replace...

@@firstplt bummer.... There's a few ppl where the same situation occurred. A new valve isn't the end of the world and pretty easy to replace. Good luck.

The valve failed because they used a soft plastic. If you can imagine a V design that gets pushed in to open the valve, that V kept getting shorter and shorter. Changing the filter also gave it compression at an angle - also collapsing the V length even more. Thats why the hack is to put a washer in there, to squeeze it up a little higher.

@shawnschembri29 thank you for a most informative answer. I tip my hat to you.

@11004bill my pleasure! Subscribing will help me out if you want to do me one.

Thanks for the praise, much appreciated!!

My pleasure, thanks for reporting back, I love hearing success!

Thank you for that very sincere comment, it is much appreciated! I'm truly glad to help, thank you for providing a comment that gives me motivation to make another one.

Glad I could help!

That's a beautiful comment, thanks for making my day :)

I'd love to help you but in order to estimate the parts, one would need the exact model number. If you have that you can go to a website such as ereplacementparts dot com to see the cost.

I'm not 100 pct sure. From what I understand it seemed as if they were all compatible w remote start. The difference was that the new one had an external antenna port and it came.with said antenna. Because I was unsure if it would work, I had purchased the replacement. Not sure if it helps much, sorry.

@@shawnschembri29 ah so maybe some have the antenna plugin and some don't. Thanks!

@@alanpierce2002 that's exactly how I last understood it, yrs ago.

You're welcome, if you decide to do the job it's not too bad. Enjoy!

@@sshawn09 thank you for the quick reply is there in way that you can send me the info about the remote start information really thanking about doing it to the family can. Thank you for ur time and info. Ps. I'm very handy.

@@rafaelreyes8974 what are you looking for exactly? Please read the description of the video, it may answer your open questions.

@@sshawn09 Thanks if I have any questions I will contact you Thank you

Haha, free showers

Thanks for the comment. I have seen that newer design, they are tricky. I've never tried but I wonder if using a dremel to smooth down would be a solution?

@@sshawn09 I was thinking the same thing. It really does look to me that GE has modified the design of the part to make us continue to buy their new part every couple of years. My guess is they know the washer trick by now. I've purchased about a 5 or 6 of these in 10 years. It wasn't too bad when the part was $20-25 bucks, but the part cost has tripled by 2023. 😞

@@lunarvue oof. I wish I had a test valve to play with, I would love to try to 3d print a solution.

@@sshawn09 I had though of the same. I kept an old one to mess with at one time. I might try some solutions on the old unit once I replace it with a new one. I think a little cap that could fit over the existing "button" on the manifold will help. I think after just two or three filters the button tip surface gets worn just enough to not make enough contact to depress fully.

Thanks!

Good luck! Also I believe there's a recall out there now.

@@sshawn09Update: I took it to a nearby transmission shop in Walbridge, Ohio and they confirmed it was the throttle body, not the transmission! Code came up as P2111-00, Throttle actuation A control system stuck open! My family will go on Rock Auto and order a new one!

@@jacobg.witmer before you do that call Ford service and asked if it's recall. It would save you a pretty penny, and the little bit of time and effort.

@@sshawn09 On it!

Thanks! Glad I could help!

Glad to hear I can help you! Enjoy!

That's a compliment if I had ever heard one, thank you!

Sorry I don't know too much about that issue.
