benbodie Posted February 23, 2023 Share Posted February 23, 2023 Has anyone seen or know of a 2.0 Liter engine for sale? I may need to replace my engine on my 2014 MKZ hybrid. What started as a misfire on cylinder #2, now shows oil inside the cylinder. Body of vehicle is in perfect shape, looking for a used engine to entertain the price of a swap. Thank you Ben Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know of one at the moment, but will keep my eyes open and post back if I see one. Let us know how you make out and good luck.

benbodie Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 Can anyone vouch for LKQ Online parts warehouse? I found several used low mileage 2.0 liter hybrid engines (same engine from Ford Fusion) for $1,000 after shipping and taxes. Next is finding a mechanic willing and knowledgeable to do the swap without breaking the bank. Fingers crossed! I am located in Kansas City, MO. Happy to share my progress if there is interest here. Pics show the used engine with a compression test, and my car... made it to 233,000 miles before I lost compression on cylinder #2. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

benbodie Posted February 24, 2023 Author Share Posted February 24, 2023 Found a mechanic willing to do the swap, and in addition will replace the water pump & spark plugs for a whopping...... $3,100. + $1000 for a lightly used engine with 6 month warranty = $4000 engine swap. The engine was cheaper than I thought possible, and labor was double my estimate. hahahahaaaaa I'm taking the weekend to mull over my options.

benbodie Posted March 3, 2023 Author Share Posted March 3, 2023 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RVYk8VpZORE I've recently come across this video that describes the same issue I am experiencing... instead of engine replacement the ECU is reflashed/repaired and then reinstalled. This fixes the misfire in many models of lincoln and ford vehicles. I'm going to reach out to some ECU flashing companies to try and get this accomplished. It is a cheap way of trying an alternative fix to replacing an expensive engine undertaking. Any ECU flashers on this forum?! Thanks ya'll Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In your earlier posts, you stated you have oil inside cylinder 2. Oil in a cylinder would be a sign of an internal engine issue/failure. While it is not possible to accurately/precisely blind Internet diagnose the root cause of your issue, an ECU "reflashing" or replacement etc., is not going to fix that. Keep us updated and good luck. Edited March 3, 2023 by bbf2530 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TomV Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Oil inside cylinder 2 could be from a junked up intake valve. Not sure if the 2014 is GDI, but I suspect it is and that is a unfortunate side effect when fuel doesn't come down the port. It's pretty easy to pull the intake manifold aside and visually inspect the valves. It only takes me 10 minutes to inspect mine. Perhaps find a mechanic to try that first to see if the root cause can be located before you spend a lot of money. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
drolds1 Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 All EB engines are GDI. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
