2-2 from three and hit one to take the lead!
I wonder if him not coming in until halfway through the third means he might not have a big rotation presence, but i still have hope
Every time I’ve gotten a ‘normal’ sized phone, I end up returning it within the return window. Happened when I went from the 10 to the 12, and returned it for the 12 mini. And when I had to go from the 12 mini to the 14, I returned it for the 13 mini, and bought a second 13 mini after that got a bit old.
I’ve really disliked having a 5 year old phone though. I’m tied to a charger throughout the day, runs hot all the time, and don’t want to spend money maintaining the phone(glass repairs, battery replacements, etc), spending more money than the value of the phone, or into something that isn’t going to get support for much longer. Also feel like I’m missing out on minor quality of life things life, usb-c charging, compute power, or camera quality.
Very tempted to get the 18 Pro. I’ve returned the larger phones twice though, but each time, replaced it with just as modern of a phone. I wouldn’t have that opportunity this time. Yet, I also feel like I didn’t give the other phones a chance. I’d replace them within a week or two.
For those that did make the switch, do y’all get used to it? Any time I switched it felt like such a shock. Would it be wrong to think after two weeks or so, I would no longer be bothered? I mean, 90% of the world have already become accustomed, so it can’t be too bad right? Interested in hearing from other people’s experiences.
On the bottom row all the way on the right. Music App works without issue, but Icon looks like some sort of developer stuff. Don’t know exactly when this happened or what would have caused it, but happened sometime this weekend.
Anyone know how I may be able to get it back to normal?

2014 Ford Fusion SE 1.5L. Recently, whenever I start my car, and in the middle of driving, there’s this sound from the passenger side dash that sounds somewhat like air compressing or something spinning?? It may be difficult to hear but the best I got is at the beginning of the video then stops. This one’s short, but also goes on for longer at times too.
When I turn the car off, it also sometime sounds like something’s spinning abnormally too, somewhat like metal on metal from the same place. It probably isn’t audible in the end of the video, but sounds like somethings spinning, slowing down to a stop 3-5 seconds after the car turns off that I don’t believe was there before.
I thought maybe it’s the blower motor since it sometimes makes odd noises on the coldest days in the winter. I got one from the scrap yard, and it could be bad too, but the noise is unchanged so think it’s probably elsewhere.
Anyone know if this is what an AC refrigerant leak would sound like? The noise isn’t coming from the compressor and it’s behaving normally. Could the sound be a leak coming from somewhere under the dash? I get cold air, and don’t know if I’m making it up, but feels like it’s been taking longer to get cold, but once it does, it stays cold. If anyone thinks it is an AC leak, does the location of the noise give any clue as to where the leak could be coming from?
Anyone have any idea what this might be?
Just changed my spark plugs and found oil in the spark plug wells. Assuming this is a leaking Valve Cover Gasket. My question if this might be too difficult of a job for a DIYer.
I’m pretty much just a youtube university mechanic and have been comfortable with most jobs on my car. I’m not finding that much out there for the 1.5 EcoBoost Valve Cover Gasket replacement though. Videos on most engines seem simple, but even for the plenty of 2.0 EcoBoost VCG videos, it seems much more complicated than most engines with a ton more bolts and removing surrounding engine equipment, i.e fuel rail possibly??? And even properly seating the gasket on the valve cover and valve body seems more involved with the EcoBoost than other engines.
Anyone done the job on the 1.5? Would you say anyone comfortable inside an engine bay should be able to take care of it? Or would y’all say leave this to shop? Google says a VCG job might be around $200, which I might just be okay with, if that’s true and they’re going to be able to do it much better than I could and quickly.
Also, how much of a worry would y’all say the leak should be? No oil drips from the engine. No error codes or major misfires, just did the plugs for routine maintenance. Would probably still like to take care of eventually. Would love to hear others’ input.
Thanks all
Is this cotton thing on top of this intake filter supposed to be removed or stays on? Old one did not have it, which is what threw me off
Anyone know of any telltale sign of the well-spoken coolant intrusion issue on the 1.5 ecoboost?

I’ve had a 2014 fusion 1.5l se for about two years now. Don’t think i’ve ever seen the engine temp spike above halfway. Don’t believe i’ve ever ‘topped off’ the coolant reservoir in my time of owning, though I have seen that the coolant has been just a tad below the min line, and may be irresponsibly putting it off as something I get to, when I get to. Also not even sure if the coolant levels were like that when I first got the car or not. At the same time, there’s never been any coolant/temp warnings or check engine lights, tail pipe smoke, or anything.
Today, my car was worked on at a tint shop and when I got there to pick it up, the car was still idling outside, presumably for the hour between when they told me it was done and when I got there.
I took the car back to work, and when leaving work to go home, I looked at the engine temp, and it would spike like I hadn’t seen before. Get up to about three quarters and then come back down to halfway within seconds, seemingly when revs are high or when going up a hill.
I probably should have took care of the coolant levels when I noticed it, but i guess was scared of accepting that it could be the intrusion thing. I don’t know if maybe it’s from the car idling still for so long, or could be something entirely unrelated to those two.

Does anyone know if these are signs of the dreaded coolant intrusion issue? What other signs besides a lower coolant level would there be, if so? Anyone think this could be something else entirely, and look for coolant leaks elsewhere? Also today when it spiked, no other warnings, just a high than normal reading. Doubt this is a big factor, but it’s also hot as hell today and have been putting the ac to work.
Kindly
Looking to convert my keyed 2014 Fusion SE to push to start.
Got a conversion kit online, and the wires from the module to splice into the ignition switch are 16 gauge wires capable of high current, like traditional ignition switches would need. My ignition switch only has 20-22 gauge low current wires to send a signal to BCM to start the starter, instead powering the starter from the ignition switch.
Is there cause for concern if the BCM doesn’t ask for high current or anything, or could the be a chance the module would send too much and fry the BCM?
Thanks everyone

No AC, oil light comes on due to sensor issue
I got this car on a trade and planned to fix it up but plans have changed, bring me $1000 and its yours

Dumb purchase, or manageable if I can get the thermostat and oil pressure sensor replaced?
1k budget for an A to B car, seems to be the best option right now. Anything else to be weary about?
