Slight shuddering under heavy acceleration

You have condensate in your intercooler, aka a mix of oily crankcase vapors and water that has collected in the bottom of your charge air cooler (CAC) when you accelerate hard, it is getting sucked up into the intake and causing a misfire.

Consider this the aforementioned suggestion that you drill a hole, approximately 1/16” in diameter that allows this to escape rather than build up. My official recommendation is that you pull the CAC and give it a thorough cleaning first rather than just letting that stuff spray out everywhere.

If half of it is covered by plastic in the front, I removed that part which was added by Ford as a lame tsb intended to solve the condensation problem

search “pee hole in my CAC,” “intercooler weephole” on this forum and/or youtube

edit: ive got 216k on the clock and still running strong
