I agree with not believing customer claims. I had an over heating Land Cruiser with a “new” radiator. Talk about going down the wrong road . Turns out the bottom tank was plugged. Had an “old” new looking radiator. Keep up the good work. Love your mistakes, makes you much more human and believable. Peter, retired master Toyota tech 😊

Sounds like someone used the extra large parts cannon on that one . I had been in the industry for 42 years, and you’re absolutely right. Don’t believe what you’ve been told or what somebody else has diagnosed. I would politely listen to the customer on what they had done or thought. Politely listen to a tech from another shop and what they did when they couldn’t find the problem. And even politely listened to one of my own technicians when they were out of ideas and couldn’t find the problem. Then I would say, “ I want to diagnose it myself.” If after a while I was stumped and couldn’t find the problem, I would step back take a deep breath and say, “ Ok, let’s start from the beginning again, one step at a time. I’ve missed something “. When it comes to misfires I would tell my customers and technicians that there’s three basic types. Electrical which happens abruptly like a light switch, on/off, now I’m good now I’m not. Fuel related which happens slowly like water in a garden hose. Then a constant or dead misfire which could be electrical, fuel or mechanical. 😊😊😊

I always keep the old parts off of jobs that I do. They come in handy. I just changed the cam and crank sensors on the 4.6l Ford. Drove it for a while and it started doing the same things that I changed them out for in the first place. Including codes. So I put the original parts back in. Fixed the problem, like forever. I'm suspecting, in hindsight, that corrosion on the contacts was the culprit. The very act of changing and scraping the contacts in the process was the actual cure. And who knows what's going on with the new parts. Yes, I inspected the parts upon removal and all of the seals were intact and nothing was leaking. Like your thoroughness in your work. I'll be watching your videos for future content!

And it is for that reason that there are people who have been chasing the same problem and putting more money than it is worth into it because of having bought and tried so many parts. I am not a mechanic but I do know a few things about cars. What I don't like is mentioning my mechanical problems to people who don't know my car. That is because they have never seen it and might try to suggest a lot of other parts that are somewhat likely not to be the root cause of the problem. It is like when I had a Volkswagen and I had an EPC on my instrument cluster. That is electronic pedal code but I knew some moron who thought it is some sort of valve instead. Needless to say I am glad I did not take his advice and spend numerous hours and dollars looking for a valve that doesn't exist or worse looking like an idiot going to a real mechanic talking about some sort of valve that doesn't exist and looking like I know nothing at all. The danger of looking like you know nothing at all is that an unscrupulous mechanic may try to take advantage of you and recommend all sorts of things you don't need. Some of them may be expensive parts that really are never known to fail. While you can decline any repair if it seems at all unnecessary it is wise to appear wise. Not only that they won't be taking about you behind your back with their friends having a laugh at your expense and misfortune or they may look at you like "oh, no the idiot is back again".

One time long ago I changed a motor in a 84 dodge ram 4x4... Original motor was a 318. It had a bad ticking noise. Only 68,000 miles. Just bought the truck like that cheap because the previous owner was fed up. I had a known good 360, so I did the swap. Started it up and it had the exact same ticking noise. Well I went underneath and the source of the ticking, took the splash shield off from the front of the transmission. No noise HUH. It was a warped splash shield. Straightened it out and walla fixed it. Live and learn. Boy I felt dumb. But hey it wasn't my only screw up

As a dyi guy I learned long ago to, instead of going to the parts store and looking up the part and purchasing, to remove the part( water pump, fuel pump,...), take it to the part store and match it up bolt hole pattern, connector locations and attachments, general shape etc. If it didn't match exactly and the counter guy told me well that's what's in the book, I'd send him back to check the shelves and invariably he come back with the right part.

Its good to compare parts, however sometimes the part in your hand is a known issue, with a track record of early failure, and has been redesigned to correct a specific issue. As a professional, i see redesigned parts that bear little to no resemblance to the original. But install it and it works. Just bear that in mind.Sometimes looking different is a good thing.

Good old waste spark spark system Kenny. I have a 2007 Ford Ranger , has happened twice to me. If a spark plug wire opens ie, infinite resistance the spark has to try to find a way to return back to the coil. It will find a way , probably through the coil. The result is a bad coil as well as a bad spark plug wire.In these situations, replace both the coil and the spark plug wires. And you are correct, watch the coil pack replacement. some are 3 nut holddowns and others are 4.Think proper terminology is type 1 and type 2 coil pack. great video as always , Thank You for sharing.

I’ve watched a few of your videos while I’ve been sick, and it’s always good to watch a technician working through diagnostics and doing a proper job to make sure it’s fixed. I don’t feel like a lot of people realize or understand just how tricky a proper diagnosis can be sometimes on modern machines, and just expect parts to be tossed in and magic will happen. As an Ag technician in Canada, I’ve seen more than a few projects that took longer to diagnose than to fix, and if a casual parts changer would’ve gotten their hands on such a project, I can only imagine the financial pain as the parts bill racks up.

Good info on the hard hit vs soft hit, never thought about it but have experienced it many times. I have a 3800 series 1 Buick and it was doing exactly the same, random hard hits especially at idle in gear. At first thought it was a plug, they were a little old anyway. New plugs helped, got rid of a misfire while accelerating but still had a random bump at idle. Ended up being a bad coil. Had an extra in a box and swapped it in. Luckily it happened to be the first one I changed. Coils right up front, super easy fix.forgot to mention, this bad coil still worked but ohming it showed infinite resistance in the secondary. Must have been a tiny break in the wire toward the end where the spark could jump it internally.

A tip for using the Snap-on Solus tool and diaging misfires on fords: The drive cycle misfire counter is not a real time counter. What I tend to default to in this case is the cylinder contribution test. It's in the "functional tests" submenu in the engine menu. While it isn't a misfire counter, it does tell you in real time when a cylinder dies, and I tend to find it most useful. Fords that are too old to support Auto-ID on that scanner though will show the test as an option, but they aren't compatible, so the old school methods of testing for misses have to be used.

So fascinating. Remember twa flight 800 explosion. The cause of the crash over the east coast was suspected arcing between lo and high voltage lines bundled together leading to unintended high voltage entering the fuel tank thru sensor and igniting the very hot tanks and fuel... Anyways, now I think back to hours and hours spent in the shop with my first boyfriend trying to resolve some electrical issue that he just could not figure out and I wonder to myself if something of that nature could have caused some of the really difficult and unresolved issues we often struggled with (possibly. Wiring is a nightmare anyways but sometimes it just doesn't add up!) So cool to learn from you! A good, honest mechanic, just like my first man. Bless you!

The numbering of the cylinders on those coil packs is important. Make sure. The OEM part has numbers printed on it. The cylinders on a Ford are sequential per side. Check the service manual or look it up online. The numbers can get cleaned off the coil pack pretty easily. Find out what you have for your build and calibration. Ford literature has been helpful in the past and they have updates if you check for that too. I've seen the new parts for tune and driveability, from an independent repair company returned to the customer and motorcraft parts made it run like brand new. Assumptions get made by people and their expectations during maintenance and home repair. Checking what's right for that build and correcting it is half the job. When those coil packs first came on the V6 distributorless, I wiped some dust off and noticed the printed on numbering sequence. I've seen a few times where cleaning the engine compartment easily washed off the indicating numbers from the coulpack.

I just bought a 2000 Montero sport for $1200 from a "friend" after handing him the cash I discovered that the harmonic balancer bolt was backed out. I had gone 2 miles. I said I wouldn't have bought it knowing that. He said I was trying to rebuild it. It was bound for the junkyard if driven. Luckily the threads on the crankshaft were good. Pulley is scored and galled and probably the timing gear it mates to. I am retired and it took 4 months to save for my buddy deal. I don't want to remove the timing belt but probably have to change the timing gear. Folks saying I am overreacting just tighten it. I was called a perfectionist by the x. I said who else would you rather have working on the aircraft your rear end is riding on. With limited resources I must make it count. Not working on cars for years because I could afford new ones then changing major parts in the yard just reminds me of younger days when I was poor but didn't know it. I will make it run well and will not stop. I have been without a vehicle 2 years and COVID I isolated now I will make it reliable because I have road trips to do. Not too much invested if it dies on a trip to walk away! It's an adventure.

When presented with a coil design like this an easy way to dx the coil is swap the wires to opposite sides from coil. It uses a waste spark system. So if misfire moves from 1 to 4 the dx will be complete. And if you have 2 misfiring cylinders on same contributing coil then also pretty concrete. Chrystler products and others also use this design. Hope this helps. Also, grounded test light to visualize missing spark works with wire pulled off, but may have to power brake the engine and not get run over 😆.

Waste spark system diagnosis, here is a new way i figured out 20 years ago. Write the first half of the firing order, then write the second half right underneath it. Those are the complimentary cylinders. The ones that fire at the same time. To track a misfire, you can switch those 2 complimentary wires and see if the misfire stays, or follows the secondary coil. Its essentially switching coils. No haters please, i have used this method for 20+ years. Its proven. A waste spark system has 1 primary coil, with 2 wound secondary outputs.

That's the way I am too. I think people take it wrong when I tell them that I don't want to hear what they think is wrong. I've seen vehicles with many new parts and the owner is saying why the fuel pump, the filter, and even the fuel line is new but they still get no gas. You brought it here and I'll fix it and to do that I need to check a thing or two. Turned out the shaft between the cam and the pump was wore away. The hardest to find problem I had was a simple glove box switch that had a broken mount. I knew which circuit but it powered nearly everything within the interior. I found it my second time through on my hard target search. I checked the operation of the button by hand and found that the whole switch as a unit moved. Otherwise how would you know the glove box light is still on with it shut. Shit bird I worked with spent two days working on the car in vain. The third day boss man calls over, 'Hey J, see if you can figure out what's wrong with this car'. I walk up and inspected it seeing everything under the hood is new and replaced. With that I proceeded to try a compression check. Lo and behold, the second cylinder I tested had no compression.

You say you don't want to know what's been done, but that information can provide Context. Knowing that the customer swapped a coil could mean they got a bad one, the wrong one, or screwed up something in the vicinity while changing it. The recent video about the crew cab pickup that Kenny bought was a prime example of when the information from the customer can provide the crucial bit of information that solves the issue. The Camshaft Position Sensor Interrupter gear was dented and knowing the engine was swapped was a clue, but knowing the Valve Covers were off when it arrived from the salvage yard was the key bit of Context needed to solve the problem.

I had a 2008 F150 with 6 cylinder and it had the same problem. I'm thinking there was a problem with those coils, but that's just my guess. Keep the good stuff coming.

Good job. I suspect someone did the same thing you did with a new "wrong" coil, then just put the old one back in and still claimed new coil was installed. Maybe.

Replacing the entire engine for a misfire takes the parts cannon to a whole other level. That’s firing the parts thermonuclear ICBM at it

Had a similar experience on an 02 ranger 2.3. misfired under load. Napa coil made it worse, coil from advance lasted a few months and the misfire returned. Finally bought a motorcraft, issue has stayed away for years now.

I had a 2007 F150 that had a chronic misfire for YEARS. It wouldn’t throw a code to tell me which cylinder it was. I didn’t have a code reader with PID’s. I finally took it to the dealership where they determined it was a plug with a damaged insulator.

True that Kenny, never rely on what people tell you they've done EXACTLY correct. You NEVER really get the true facts. And, you have to do like you so thoroughly do, and diagnose it yourself !!

I'm a chevy guy but I got a mud truck ranger with a 3.0. That is a tough motor. It's seen more Rev limiter than idle. Wish company's made stuff like they used it

I had a Citroen Berlingo van, which if I missed a service, it would switch the MIL light on, and cough a bit, whilst I am driving. The Berlingo has a 1.6 HDI 4 cylinder engine. But the diagnostic tools will give the code for a cylinder 6 misfire. All I would have to do is either get it serviced, or erase the error codes. Then it will run fine. This made me think that the computer on the vehicle is set to show up problems, that do not exist, just to make me get it serviced, if I had forgotten.

ran into something similar with a older chevy cavalier. was my bosses mom's. luckily i was the only one who worked on it for many years. anyways, we had a newer hire in the shop who got a turn on it, came in for misfires. he replaced the coil pack with aftermarket and it got no better. he spent a few hours on it and tossed his hands in the air saying the engines gotta be shot. i knew that didn't sound right, especially since i had just overhauled the motor a year prior, went to the nearby scrap yard and ripped out a used oem coil pack and it purred like a kitten.

I had this problem before, i had bought some cheap coils off ebay and installed them. They would work for a good 2,000 miles and then out of no where it would be a internment misfire. I ended of going OEM and its been fine every since

I worked for a shop for a short period of time that the lead tech wasn't as good as he believed he was. He diaged a Chevy Monte Carlo with a misfire. It had come from another shop where some other work had been performed. He performed all of these tests and determined that the vehicle needed an engine. Customer didn't want to pay that much again - so the owner of the shop bought the car. They put a new engine in it - fired it up - and had a misfire on the same cylinder. Surprise surprise. After the real diag occurred it was found that the connector to the coil pack had one bent pin. The straightened out the pin and plugged it in and magically the misfire went away. About a week later we put the car out front with a for sale sign on it. The previous owner saw it and confronted the owner - saying he was ripped off. The owner was sued for this debacle and was out of business less than a year later. Very crooked. He thrived on literally ripping people off and was proud of it. Bragged about how he could rip off even a sweet old lady and make her like it.
