Head of the EPA says the auto start/stop is going away.

I posted this on another thread but I think it is worth repeating. Yeah, I voted for this...
EPA approved it, and everyone hates it, so we’re fixing it.

Best $50 I ever spent buying that bypass. I still catch myself raising my arm to shut the 1 off I had on my Expedition. Couple more years and I will be retrained. My daughter and her small hand put it in within 5 minutes.

Hell yeah I voted for this!!! Good riddance. Hope it happens.

Best news all week. Should've had this implemented sooner IMO.

Hope they offer a retrofit to permanently turn off.

I think FORScan can disable it, right?

LOL I love rereading all the comments from the moron on that post.

Annoying start/stop on your truck vs functioning democracy and rule of law....it's a tricky balance.

Correct, I used it on my truck.

We have a functioning Constitutional Republic. And we’ve finally gotten back to the rule of law

As a whole, I definitely support start/stop systems. It makes sense from an emissions perspective. Where it doesn't make sense is on vehicles with 12v starters that aren't made it.

* Start/stop on my Subaru Forester? Complete jarring experience upon start, and HVAC stopping.
* On my Volvo? seamless. The powertrain is ready to go in milliseconds.

Ranger falls somewhere in between. It's a nuisance because it lacks a 48v starter and mild hybrid system. If it did, I wouldn't look at options to defeat it.

/\ thats true. if the system is properly set up and a hybrid style, it works great. but most manufacturers were just trying to get those credits while using what they already had on hand so its not set up for smooth and efficient start stop.

but i still turned it off

Who’s law? Certainly not the United States.

Fair point, except for the rule of law part. But have fun with your alternative facts.

You people and your generation believe everything you hear and read. It’s not going away. Guess what else isn’t going away? EV’s. But hey, keep crying about it
