In a previous video • Why You Should Never G... I had a look at this 2015 Jeep Cherokee with the big 3.2 and determined it had a faulty fuel injector. Now it is time to tear into it and see if we were correct.

You're a true presenter, giving the audience what you know they want. You unplugged the new injector and checked its resistance. before all of us keyboard warriors could ask about it. If this car is back for the oil filter housing upgrade, you can thank yourself that you used that Sil-Glyde on the fittings and the cover. And I like the owner's approach if another injector fails - replace all of the remaining 5. It looks to be in decent condition, so here's wishing the owner some more good years with this car.

It may be the software Eric may be using to edit the videos that it is turning down the volume on certain platforms of audio. On my playstation 4, I also see the muted volume on certain videos as well. I was originally thinking it may be how it is uploaded as a issue until he mentioned it.

Obviously you guys aren’t experiencing the problem. It’s not exactly a “Roku issue” as no other channels, regardless of audio settings” are having this problem.

Then you put the new one in your hand, fiddled with it, and installed it !!!! The bells and whistles started blaring in my brain and my mind said - "" Isn't he going to test the resistance of the new injector to be sure its the same as the good ones ??????? My hands were ready to write a full page reply with not so good admonishments !!!!! Then your brain kicked in and said exactly what mine was thinking !!!!! And you checked the resistance - I'll bet everyone was over joyed at that !!! I was !!!!! We think alike !!!!! Very good diagnosis and quality dis and re assembly !!!! All the while giving us your hints and tips as well as cautions and dangers to better us in our own endeavours !!! Spectacular teaching !!!! That's a lot of cash every month for that data you purchase from them companies - I hope you always get your moneys worth !!!!!!

The audio doesn't sound too bad to me. The camera probably has a condenser microphone so it picks up in a wide pattern. Maybe there is a setting to narrow that or limit the range. The camera may have a jack for a separate microphone if you want to go that route, you could choose the direction and range you want.

All they'd have to worry about is syncing the audio afterwards, but that's why you see a lot of KZfaqrs clap before they start talking.

I used the "turn backwards until you feel the threads drop in the groove" trick on vacuum cleaners with those coarse thread plastic body screws as well. As for "torquing to specs" on those screws, my rule was to use my fingertips to hold the screwdriver, and never my whole hand. If it was as tight as I could get with my fingertips, it would not rattle out of the plastic, but it also wouldn't break the screw bosses.

The process is the same, gather data (from the user, testing, wherever), compare the data available to the symptoms presented and confirm the details, if possible, with the manufacturer’s details, and then, and only then, decide what to do. Intermediate test results as you dig in to the issue are also essential in confirming a diagnosis. Nice!

As another person already commented I suspect that your new camera's built in microphone is omnidirectional (its pickup pattern is from all directions), an external cardiodial microphone would be more directional (the microphone would tend to be more sensitive to sounds originating in front of it and less sensitive to sounds behind and to the sides).

That’s exactly what it is and I used to design microphones…the wider pattern picks up more room reverberation and noises. I agree with the criticism that the background noises are distracting especially the doorbell.

Just went through all of that with my wife's Jeep. Oil filter / oil cooler housing leaking. Did spark plugs when intake was off and coolant flush.

Another fine example of following your methods and plan and the results speak for themselves. Thanks for showing us how it's done. Thanks!

I'm seeing way more fuel injector fails over the last year or so over numerous car forums? Why is this? Bad gas or just coincidence?

@sweezy7455 2 жыл бұрын

I think it has something to do with the gas. Even smells different these days.

Direct injection injectors or standard injectors? Regular injectors, there are just way more cars now aging out would be my guess. What's the average age or mileage of the vehicle that loses an injector?

I believe they did raise the ethanol limit or amount in fuel.

@Spinonemaster 2 жыл бұрын

Depends on who made the injectors ... injectors either get clogged/corroded or the suffer heat degrading/failure on the electrical side ... I've had Bosch injectors last 20 years/260K

A good bit of it is that they’ve gotten very good at engineering things to be as cheap as possible and still make it out of warranty. Things like normal injectors have been around long enough to really get priced down to the minimum.

The audio sounds good to me, I can hear a lot more back ground sounds to as well. Like rubbing sounds, clicking sounds, snapping sounds. Are you say these sounds are bad?

@athhud 2 жыл бұрын

Nah, it’s a volume issue. On Roku and a limited few other devices, you can barely hear the audio even with the volume maxed out. Then when an ad pops up during the video it rattles your teeth.

Hey Eric. I know what you mean about not trusting service data or repair manuals too much. I've seen several times when a little common sense saved a lot of work. I've replaced clutches on 2 different front wheel drive cars without tearing the entire front suspension out and dropping the transaxle. I had to work in a smaller space but I had access to everything I needed to replace and got it done in my front yard in less than half the book time listed for the job. On my 91 Nissan Sentra the book called for taking the top section of the intake manifold off to remove the fuel rail and injectors. While I had the valve cover off, I removed a bracket from the intake and had easy access to remove the fuel rail. Fewer bolts to remove and killed 2 birds with 1 stone. That's why I read the manual first and then apply some common sense. It amazes me how the repair manuals often over complicate jobs.

Thanks for another nice video Eric people don't understand the brain strain you guys go through to fix cars nowadays it's ridiculous what they charge the shops just to keep computer stuff up to date that you guys have to pay for nobody understands that they wonder why they have a 300 400 shot bill

Eric, your audio always sounds fine to me on my iPad. Maybe the whiners should find a different device.

For some reason I missed this one when you published BUT I came back to view after you put out the return for the #1 injector and mentioned having replaced #4. 😅 Nice job Ponch. Love the channel. Hell I love working on my own when I can. 😂

That said, the enemy of intelligibility is reverb or echo. The farther away the microphone is to the source (you) the more reverb and or echo will be present. I would suggest a lapel mic if wirelessly possible.
