I'm at a Ford dealership; so we're using Motorcraft PM-5. It's pretty gnarly, and the engine wont run without at least a 1:2 mixture with gasoline.

At first glance, this crosses to a very generic and plentiful part.
Just a note: you can now replace just the amplifier board inside the FICM. Dorman 904-229 is available from Amazon for $110. It takes about 15 minutes with torx drivers to swap out.
Yeah, Stans actually even sells a tool that can be used for that (as well as just injecting new sealant).

Cheers. She's recovering but now has a weepy eye I'm watching closely. Just hope the tooth thing doesn't reoccur too soon, Long-Tail had a major dental job once in 7 years so it's possible. The wheels aren't too pricey but occasionally the spindle/bearing bit needs a little maintenance. I like them.

You'll have seen the links probably in the previous reply I made to the other person's comment under the gif post, but that's them again if they're of any use. Thanks.
I had this problem on my 6.0. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gtnvFF1zg04
less than $100 and it was good to go. No reprogramming or anything, as the main control module is still good. The powersupply on the FICM dies after a while. Easy swap out.

I couldn't find anyone. I ended up just buying rebuilt ones on ebay for cheaper than i could send mine off.
If you dont care about flow testing and just want to clean yours you can buy a rebuild kit and this

fuel pump testing kit, if you have a god tier local shop they may let you borrow a kit, alternatively get one for 30ish USD
I personally haven't done it before but this was the vid i watched on it
would help confirm if it's FP related or injector related
Interesting, I was looking through diagrams trying to find air pathways I hadn't considered and I saw this diagram. It shows a "EGR injection valve" (circled) https://i.imgur.com/TGrjT2O.jpg inside the intake. This connects to the large tube that is connected to a passage that connects to the egr housing. (tried to illustrate in pic)
I don't have one of these. It's possible during the rebuild it got lost or fell out but still, I dont recall seeing it then. I know for sure I dont have it installed now. I have never heard of such a valve, but this engine is so oddball im not really surprised.
I think, it is supposed to regulate return airflow from the egr valve since the egr valve is electronic and doesnt have vacuum control? Either way I'm thinking this would be a big source of pirate air that my leak tests couldn't reach and would kinda explain the location of the hissing I heard. I think this would create a similar internal vacuum leak similar to a booster thats leaking internally. Any thoughts? Has anyone heard of a valve like this in other engines?
edit: this is whats called an "injection valve" or "fuel injection tube" it looks from the length/height it runs air past the inside of the intake to the IAC area or similar. https://www.amazon.ca/ACDelco-219-166-Fuel-Injector/dp/B000C9K3WY
>Cabin filter: isn't 7,500 miles early? Typically that's not supposed to be changed until 15,000, yeah? Although you did mention the dealer was following the Severe schedule, so maybe that fits.
I certainly think 7,500 miles is early. My own schedule has generally been to change it annually. If it actually was dirty enough to change, it's from sitting on the lot at the dealership for months before my purchase and should have been something that was changed prior to me having the keys.
>Fuel induction service: do you have a GDI engine? That sounds like something you give a turbo, and again, not until at least 15,000.
That's the best part! I have the MPi 2.0 L.
>What is this "fuel kit" you speak of? A bottle of Techron or something?
It's the product(s) for the induction service, no clue what type, but it's the kit where you pour a bottle in the fuel tank, and use a spray hose for the can while running the engine. Something like this, probably. I can't for the life of me remember what's on the shelf that we used for our fuel system services when I was a tech. Still, maybe should cost $20-$30 for the 2/3 different products.
>Shop supplies: rags, a bottle of GoJo for the sink? Coffee? Dafuq is this? Some definite double-dipping goin' on here that needs an explanation.
Right? If they used a ton of rags, gloves, etc., that's on the staff not the customers.
>All the "baby's first service visits" I've ever had with any new car have only been oil changes unless something's wrong. A reputable dealer would've stopped right there. I hope you get a survey about this and you give them some 0s along with the explanation of how they screwed you. Oh, and better luck with the dealer you pick for your next service.
That's what's so bizarre to me. It's the very first time I've brought the car in for service, so I was under the assumption that the oil change and tire rotation was all that was being done, since that's what was included in the service agreement at the time I bought the car, and I had no reason to think otherwise. There was never a price discussed, quote given, or anything to indicate some sort of payment until I was there to pick the car up and they said I owed them ~$300 (reduced to $250 once they entered the maintenance plan).
The reason I chose to go to them for the service is because they're 5 minutes from my work, so I didn't have to waste half the day getting the service done. I could drop it off, they'd give me a ride to and from work, and I'd just have to grab the keys and a copy of the services done. No cost and no hassle. So much for that...
Replace the injector seals and be sure to use a little oil on them when installing the injector into the fuel rail and manifold.

Is this the fuel rail in question?
If so, ACDELCO is the 'official' parts replacement, and is likely just re-branded Bosch (You'll even literally get ACDelco boxes with bosch parts in them) https://www.amazon.com/ACDelco-24508941-Equipment-Sequential-Multi-Port/dp/B0016I7R9W $200 is a hell of a lot less than what you'd get charged for plating ANYWHERE that is willing to risk their chem baths for a potentially dirty part
This explains it way better than I could:
MPFI Conversion
Basically, the original system is central sequential port injection (CSFI), and prone to fouling, sticking, and leaking at the poppets from carbon buildup. GM revised the design in '02, and the new, much-improved multi-port fuel injection (MPFI) unit is 100% backwards compatible. You can get them from most any auto parts supplier, I bought mine on Amazon. It's not cheap, (~$300), but it works much better than the old design and is literally a drop-in replacement.
The work is pretty easy if you're comfortable under the hood, and iirc, the new unit comes with instructions for doing the conversion. Remember to pick up a intake gasket set since you'll be pulling the upper half of the intake out.
This is the new unit

Cheaper, non-OEM part on Amazon.
