That was the engine waving good-bye.😁 Love the old school diagnosis without a scope (since I don't own one😊) Great video Mike. Thank you.👍👍

Very informative, it’s great to see information from a real mechanic that makes it simple for everyone, as a former mechanic, your video was spot on, as well as I’m also dealing with the same issue on cylinder 2. Keep up the great videos.

Excellent video Mike . Nice to see basic diagnostics . Thanks for sharing 👍

Good to see you Mike. Hope all is well with you and the family.

Great diagnostics Mike and be sure to have a SUPER GREAT day!

Great video Mike! All you see nowadays are misfire videos using lap Scopes which are great but there's a lot of guys who may not have access to them nor learned how to properly use one yet. This video gives some great basic tips to diag this misfire using tools that are very affordable and available. 👍🏼

Good informative video. I'm pretty good with most repairs, but it was nice to see a job like this tackled without the super expensive electrical tools, and using basic mechanical tools more people could access more easily to figure out what is going on. Thank you!

the basics always good to see

Nice quick diagnosis Mike! Hope all's well with you and your family. Assuming it's cool in temperature where your located, it's almost 90 in Palmdale Ca right now, so you may have some warm weather coming your way. No I don't own a Ford but I have a great 2020 Toyota RAV 4. Take care.

Checking the basics can save newbie from going down the rabbit hole.👍

Excellent diagnostics Mike. Looks like a similar procedure that I would typically go through. I like how you took the correct steps into the diagnostic procedure and wasted no time. I like the glove technique that's very helpful. It seems like the previous tech or whoever worked on the vehicle last didn't look into the possibility of a mechanical problem that would cause that misfire.

Thanks for the video and thanks for teaching us Mike 🙏👍👍👍👍👍

Just a note. The "Rule Of Thumb" we have used for years, was anything around OR below 90 PSI will not fire at idle. Been a Ford Dealership Technician since 1987 and that rule has always proved true. Nice channel and content BTW! Patrick

Great dianostic skills and equipment, one tool that I like to use early in my diagnostics is a vacuum gauge, works for me.

Superb, Thanks for sharing Mike👍 It always great information👍 Stay Safe Bro👍

Excellent diagnostic. 💪💪👍👍

Hi Mike where can we buy that special blue inflatable tool?😉

Great diagnostics well done bro

Great testing for the average DIY and basic shop .

This was a great video!!! I really enjoyed it!!!

Awesome stuff Mike...so good to see your back at it again. You know...if it doesn't have a pocket...it's a rag. 😄👍 Oh...and it's about time you got a shop beer fridge. 😂😂 Cheers Bro

The glove on the tail pipe is a great tip, Mike. Thank you for sharing! I also noticed that I’m not the only one with a refrigerator covered with Rock Auto magnets (my full-size fridge is about 1/3 covered and didn’t even bother saving them for the first year ordering from them). Ps- I’d love a t-shirt but sadly I don’t Facebook. That’s ok, though. Cheers, Mike!

Ah, the inertia switch to cut off fuel is a handy idea. And there's the money shot. (I won't give it away) Great tutorial Mike. I'll head on over to the Facebook page. :)

Great diag. I found the glove waving hello to be quite amusing 😁. Unfortunately it won’t be at all amusing for the customer, because that’s going to be a big repair bill. I have found that leak down and compression testing can be quite interesting in their results, and what one can show vs another in different cases. I’ve seen one case on a 2005 Honda CR-V which had 42% leakage on one cylinder, almost solely through the exhaust valves, yet compression was very good, 160 psi. The idle was pretty rough, but it ran well otherwise, and never set a misfire code, and never increased the misfire counters in mode 6. I’ve noticed over the years that when I come across an engine with a rough idle that smooths out a few hundred RPM above, when everything else checks out, it usually ends up being leaking valves when I do a leak down test. Some will set misfire codes, some won’t.

Thanks Mike

Since the air pressure was trying to push the piston down, were you also getting air out the throttle ?? I know there is a happy zone that you can hit when doing on car valve guide seals to keep the valves from falling into the cylinders. I'm think that's piston down between intake and compression stroke.Been a while since I did heavy line work... I don't dp facebook either, besides no pocket shirt makes it a rag...THANKS MIKE.

Is there a chart or book that gives the ideal numbers you should be looking for when reading live data or doing tests on components? Great 👍info on the video....thanks!

I guess if you had the E Scan Elite Scan Software , you could do a Relative Compression Test at the OBD 2 connector . The Auto Ditex Tester will also do that from the battery . . But most of us don't have those or even a scope . The Snap On MT 2400 Vantage will also do it with an amp clamp . And if you are dealing with a " shop " WITHOUT a leak down tester - RUN

haha I do leak down tests the same way that you do and I got so much crap in a video that I posted using this method haha. But regardless, great video as always Mike!

How would you know if it's a valve and not air running past the pistons? Sorry if that's a dum question, I'm new. Just got a 09 2.5l and it drives good at high speed, but hesitates and is gutless from low speeds. Changed sparks and have one shiny piston....

Last year I had this happen on my 2011 Escape, shop did head replacement. 27k miles later, misfire code on Cyl 1. I take it in to the shop that did the head replacement, they can't figure it out. I take it to a different shop, exhaust valve lass supposed to be .012mm, but Cyl. 1 is at .0015mm. BUT, it has 0% leakdown. Does that mean I dodged a burnt valve? It only runs rough during a certain period while warming up, and then it smooths out.

With that much of the valve missing, I'm surprised to see that much compression.

I think I might have more RockAuto magnets. Lol

What bulb are you using? Do different bulbs produce different brightness in this application?

hey mike! nice diag an injector going lean caused that or just crap valves i usually put a banana in the tail pipe if it ejects across the shop i know...

Hey Mike. Since you were going low tech, would a simple vacuum gauge hooked up to he brake booster have a bouncing needle to show the mechanical failure? Great job as always Mike.

Hi Mike. What are your thoughts on what might be the cause’s of burnt valve’s.

The sound of the cranking cadence alone gives an indication that the problem is possibly a mechanical problem than a fuel, ignition or other problem.

Would been nice to go over some of the possibilities that can lead to valve failure, I know each auto maker might be slightly different because of the valves composite!

Didn't sound right cranking , the compression test on 1 built up fast with a burnt valve ? did it have cat codes ?

I knew it. Engine gremlin took a bite out of the exhaust valve. Hate when that happens! 😁

I have a 2010 ford escape 2.5 with same code. Only misfires at idle, drives fine. Still trying to figure it out, have ruled out plugs/coils.

Hi Mike is it possible to show us the type of scan tool you have?

I was under the impression that noid lites are only for injectors but I see Mike is using it for the coils too.

Sir very Exfreans and pwaor full video knowledge my can try india thank you🌹🌹🌹🌹 or vi video banate rahe in hindi language

Had this with my 2.0 focus and switched coils had change out plugs so did't think it was that. Make a long story short the plug center electrode was loose and moving up and down.

what about the 3.0L V6?

👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Sir can you please send me the valve lash specs for a 2014 Honda Accord EXL Coupe 3.5l V6 .

👍👍👍

Compression test and leak down Cyl 1 - 152 psi / 65% leakage Cyl 2-195 psi / 40% leakage Cyl 3 -190 psi / 25% leakage Cyl 4 - 200psi / 20% leakage It has low compression on cylinder 1 with 60% leakage, smoked cylinder 1 and no smoke going through intake side or exhaust. Theirs is a small leak from cylinder 1 to cylinder 2 caused by the head gasket failure but you still have good compression on cylinder 2. This was my mechanic comments for my 2010 Ford Escape due to P301 code. Head gasket is done code is still active. He thinks it could be worn piston ring. What do you think?

you should have explained you checked #3 or could have done #4 was to avoid the possibility of head gasket failure between adjacent cylinders by checking #2 for those who might not understand. i cant help but wonder the true cause maybe an exhaust restriction??? too many hot shutdowns???

Tenían videos en español sería fantástico si también fueran en español por favor gracias saludos

Curious of the mileage on this engine

Ojalá transmitan la clase en español

I wonder if you could see the bad valve with a borascope

I also have a refrigerator full of Rock Auto magnets.

Awesome! But...to be completed you must digging with boroscope.

Its Tee give away time.yeah

Liked the video, hate Facebook...

Now I know why my buddy will never buy a Ford n says he would not sleep cause the rust noise would keep him awake.

foist?

Wow motor gone in 10 yrs...dont make em like they used to

Простенький дефект, и так долго искал. Слабак

Freaking ford junk , 72,000 miles and I have an engine misfire after changing spart plugs with fordmotor craft plugs im willing to bet this is the cause of the misfirecode for #2 cylinder ! Freaking ford junk !
