2010 V6 CEL Issues
 

Wednesday morning I got my 2010 V6 out to drive to work, and before I got a mile up the street the check engine light came on. I didn't notice anything weird with the car, but I brought it back home and drove the other car to work.

Thursday morning I unhooked the battery and let it reset itself, then I took it up the street and I didn't notice anything unusual, except my Ford Racing dual exhaust didn't seem to be as loud. Light stayed off.

Drove it 20 mins up the street this morning, still off, but the exhaust is noticeably not as loud and it made a strange "wooshing" sound when I took off. Brought it back home.

Tonight I decided to take it to a car show, meet up with friends and run it through their heads, got it out, got 10 minutes up the street and something happened, it revved real high like it missed, the CEL and the wrench lit up, put my foot on the brake and it was still revving.

Got it home by shifting in 2nd and 3rd, and it seemed to be fine after that, but the light's still on.

I've seen some misfire issues on GTs on forums but I haven't seen any v6 issues. Anyone have any idea what this could be? About a week ago I thought it smelled hot when I was running my air conditioner for the first time this year, but it hasn't done it since.

Random info: 2010, v6, automatic, ford racing dual exhaust added, no other major mods.

Hi Lissa If you have a local autozone take you car up there and have them read the codes for you. they do it for free. Then post the codes up here.

Oh, thanks! Kind of scared to drive it while it's not shifting correctly, though!

Any other ideas? Still not sure about driving it 30 mins to the nearest auto zone..

call the dealership and tell them to come and pick it up? Have you been running the same gas since you got the car?

Yup, no change. Ran a computer on it today and it had around 15 codes all having something to do with transmission.

Hello lissuhllama,

I also recommend you have your vehicle towed to your Ford dealer and have it diagnosed. Also, speak to your Service Manager. He/She is in the best position to look into this for you. He can check into any warranties, assistance, Recalls, or Customer Satisfaction Programs that may apply to your vehicle. Let me know the outcome.
