The Engine
The Ford EcoBoost engine is a turbocharged four-cylinder engine, powering many of their compact, subcompact, and midsize vehicles. EcoBoost in-line four-cylinder engine features an integrated exhaust manifold and a computer-controlled water pump clutch.
This makes it one of the most efficient engine options on the road. Typically this machine can pump out 181 horsepower at 6,000 rotations per minute or 185 pound-feet of torque at 4,320 rotations per minute. This is often coupled with a six-speed manual or automatic transmission.
Auto Start-Stop Technology
Not only is this engine fuel efficient on its own but Ford has integrated what is known as their Start-Stop Technology system. This system is simple. When you come to a stop while navigating the Springfield area, Delaware County drivers will notice their Ford vehicle shut off. The automatic shutdown of the engine provides fuel savings, all while offering a more eco-friendly powertrain system with your Ford vehicle. When you press and hold the brake pedal, the auto start-stop technology system turns on. The engine automatically restarts when you have lifted your foot off the brake pedal. Drivers will hardly notice this transition. This system is practically perfect and available with many Ford models.
The Ford auto start-stop technology system is integrated into your Ford vehicle as soon as you purchase it. You do not have to turn the system on or off. That being said, there is an auto start-stop off button located on your dashboard. If you do not want this handy feature all the time, you have the option to turn it off.
Occasionally, another battery-intensive activity may be in use. This is when the Ford auto start-stop system may be overridden. Activities like full-force air conditioning, or battery charging, will force the auto start-stop system will take a break.
