Lotta folks will see a check engine light on then change the part that's actually telling them "where" the issue is. They sell a lotta O2 sensors that way. How many times have you seen a person change an O2 sensor for nothing? Had a guy come to me after he changed his O2 sensor, he cleared the code and it came back. It turned out to be a vacuum leak behind the mass airflow sensor. He didn't pay attention to his scanner. If he'd looked at the freeze frame feature, he might have seen the O2 sensor voltage was high trying to compensate for a lean condition. Just an example.

Its so frustrating to have a truck that works perfectly but the o2 sensor for EPA fails and it puts your truck into a low power state. Nothing is wrong with the truck, its not even polluting. But one sensor shuts the truck down.
@skoparweaver7692 Рік тому
Very few vehicles tie limp mode to the post cat o2 EPA nanny sensors. Unless it's a wide band sensor that is before the cats and those are to measure fuel mixture. If that o2 sensor is bad it's not an EPA issue - it's an issue with the computer not being sure the vehicle is running stoichiometric. Swap in a new o2 sensor, rip the cat off and call it a day. Just because your truck has a check engine light doesn't mean it's in limp mode.

Well those 10 min was like a day max . But the problem was the fuel injectors. Let’s say your car doesn’t turn on….we’ll buddy that’s going to take longer than one week to figure out and another month to fix the problem.

@skoparweaver7692 Рік тому
@@anthonygarcia5746 If a car doesn't turn on it's usually the battery. If it doesn't turn over, it's the battery. If it clicks rather than turning over, it's the battery. If it turns over and doesn't start, it's usually the fuel system. Engines only need 3 major things - air, fuel and spark. You can eliminate each possibility with a few simple tests. Then it's time to repair the issue which could take a month, but I doubt it. All of the issues I've found with cars over the years are usually very small things causing big problems. No throttle response - cable broken (10 minute repair), random stalls (loose battery connection), random stalls (unmetered air due to a loose intake clamp AFTER the MAF), etc etc etc. Most of this stuff takes a few minutes to find and a trip to an auto parts store. Some of the issues just require a screwdriver or 10mm socket.

To solve to O2 sensor issues, I use spark plug anti-fouler adapters in the downstream O2 sensor locations (after the cat), then reinstall the O2 sensors in to the adapters. This works by pulling the O2 sensor out of the exhaust stream, and generation numbers that are far closer to what is expected by the computer, acting as if the O2 sensors and the cat(s) were still in their original locations. Works extremely well on Toyota's which use air/fuel sensors instead of O2 sensors. And the spark plug anti-foulers are dirt cheap!

The injector balance test does not "balance" the injectors. It's meant to be used with a manual fuel pressure gauge to compare the injector flow from one injector to the next.

Years ago I owned an 86 Riviera which had a skip. I changed plugs, wires, coil packs, and the ICM. After exhausting all my options, I took it to a dealer. There was a broken connector at the end of the computer wire.

The 6.7 diesel fords have codes on the injectors that must be programmed in as each one has different performance from the factory. If you move or replace one and do not program the change it will run like garbage, if at all.
@rogerpearson9081 2 роки тому
Something you have to do on diesel injectors when you install them or replace one. Otherwise you will have one cylinder not carrying its weight or hitting harder than the others. They have to have their correction factor entered.

This video does show how complex modern cars have become with their many microprocessor based controllers and shows that after some items are replaced some things can require resetting to tell the control system that new parts have been installed. However there is one thing that can be even more difficult to troubleshoot on modern cars and that is intermittent problems that do not bring in any trouble code and take a lot of testing to recreate the intermittent and find out what is happening. One example of this occurred on a 2011 BMW 328i that I had. It developed a once in while engine stall problem when I came to a stop. It took about 5 days for the dealer to finally determine that the Engine Crankshaft Position sensor was slowly going bad. Once this was replaced there was no more engine stalling.

@@bryanbarajasBB the converter will make a rattling sound which means the inside material is falling apart and loose. Also it could plug up and the exhaust will barely come out of the tailpipe. Also you could get gas fumes coming out of the tailpipe meaning its failing. It's supposed to convert unburnt fuel into less air pollution.

I feel that newer cars are more user friendly for people that aren’t master mechanics. Maybe there is a cutoff to when vehicles start to become overly complex though. I’ve always been about to fix and maintain my vehicles fairly easy with a big toolbox full of tools, a basic code reader, and the internet at my disposal. I should mention that I’ve always had pretty basic newer cars, nothing packed full of electronics.

It really depends on how the lifespan of the model is. Mitsubishi up until now had the exact same models internally since 2007. But you’re not gonna sell cars with “outdated” specs like Mitsubishi.

@@the1reef.243 yeah I hear ya. I currently have a 2014 5.0 F150, 2005 Mustang GT, and a 2015 Ford Edge.
