I have seen one 4.6 dohc in a Mercury Marauder have a worn out key slot on the wheel. Definitely not a normal issue but apparently it does happen. What I do know is most shops don't even know what a lab scope is let alone how to use it for diagnosis. GREAT VIDEO thanks

Bernie, You are absolutely right. Using quality equipment along with a method of best practice to capture and analyze the data is key to finding problems. I see the first 2 pieces of data you collected was the CRANK POS SIGNAL and the #1 coil signal. Then you retested with a pressure transducer, getting a reliable mechanical reference by way of cylinder compression and cycles. It still showed the ripple of the crank signal. Once you proved that the fault was a loose crank reluctor wheel and then repaired it, I appreciated your follow up to show a good crank signal with the tight reluctor wheel. THANKS SO MUCH FOR YOUR GREAT DEMONSTRATIONS!

@1fnjoreinhofer9403 жыл бұрын
The scope diagnostics and theory are awesome , but typically if the damper isn't fully seated there be other clues where to start looking , like customer mentioned it started running lousy ever since the front crankshaft seal replaced, and serpentine belt noisey afterwards. Luckily loose damper didn't trash the crankshaft, and end up needing the motor replaced. I think I would have pulled the crank sensor and looked inside with snake camera and tried a little pushpull on the trigger wheel with a long blade screw driver or pick, and try tightening the damper bolt before pulling the entire front of motor off if it didn't have chain noise or cam crank correlation besides.

I wonder what the power balance graph would have shown? If you see drop outs in the graph, but don't feel it missing that could be an indication of crank sensor signaling issues? Then it would be time to break out the scope and pressure transducer?
@EXOVCDS3 жыл бұрын
How is it that your scan tool can get live sensor data (coolant temperature, battery volts, vacuum etc) at the left of the screen while going to get mode 6 data? Every scan tool that I have ever used can only do one task at a time. Live data, mode 6, monitors etc. while eScan seems to be getting info from all different options at the same time, or at least allows you to (what it looks like).

Great catch, but lm puzzled why the tone ring is moving ( even with the loosened harmonic pulley bolt)? My 97 f150 4.6 Windsor has a tone ring keyed with the crankshaft. Is this one set up differently? Just did a timing job (PM) and had to reuse my CS bolt. I purchased the wrong one ( I know torque to yield bolt) but reuse it. Going to change out but expect the tone ring position to still be good, or am I mistaken. Thanks

Wonder if you watched the signal live at say a smaller time base and set a trigger on a compression peak. Then watch the crank signal shift back and forth against the trigger point.

@Discretesignals3 жыл бұрын
That would be really difficult to see if you were referencing it off of the cam signal because of chain lash and VVT phaser action. You really need a point of reference that is consistent such as cylinder pressure.
