In owners' own words
Coolant intrusion into cylinder #2 in my 2.0L Ecoboost engine. This gives a rough engine start and a misfire code for cylinder #2 on cold starts. After warmup, the engine code is not active and misfire goes away when the coolant is burnt and sent through the exhaust. This also caused the car to overheat as the coolant was dropping to a low level. There was no indication of the low coolant level until the overheating. Engine
