How to solve a wastegate problem on the Ford F 150 Ecoboost?
Years 2009-2014

Answer

When on a pickup like that of the Ford F150 Ecoboost it starts to flicker and make strange noises under moderate acceleration, the problem lies in the wastegate valve which acts as an exhaust port. If it breaks down or leaks, the most obvious symptom will be a fuel leak. Very often this happens when good maintenance is not done or, in the event of an accident, the vehicle is put back on the road with patches instead of expert replacements made by specialized mechanics.
