The Parts Store Has Been Thrown At This Nissan Quest.. Can We Figure It Out?!

It’s always interesting when you get in a vehicle and there is a box of parts sitting on the passenger seat. This one came in with exactly that. It’s had a fuel pump, ECM, camshaft sensors, coils, plugs, and a couple other parts replaced. It is still a crank, no start. In this video you’ll see a logical diagnostic plan that gets to the answers in a time effective way. The total time to get the answer was about 1 hour.
This is yet another example of the power of the scope. Without the scope, we would have had to do lots of tear down at the clients expense. Instead we got the answer quick and the client didn’t have to spend unnecessary tear down costs. We hope this helps. Enjoy!

This is why I love when a customer says, "Oh you charge for a diagnosis?" or asks, "Do you credit back the diagnosis if we fix the vehicles?" Some shops have done a huge disservice to the industry. Discrediting the value of proper diagnosis.

We want hour long videos! What you could do is have the highlights (condensed) version of the video as regular, and then a full all background video available for subscribers or some membership platform. I'm sure I'm not the only one who'd be willing to pay some... Plus it would help subsidize costs towards upgrading filming infrastructure... I love your guy's style, the long format videos, the lack of cuts and edits all over the place, the high quality filming (and it's all on a phone!), it's rare and sorely missed. Please don't stop

@H750S 20 күн бұрын

Well done👍🏻! Don’t forget to put a new crank sensor in too after you get the timing sorted. Noticed the signal is inverted. Gap on know good is low and gap on the car is high. Have seen that issue on Nissan’s 4.0v6 with the cam sensor and it will show the timing being off but the signal is just inverted. Wouldn’t be surprised if it has a cheap aftermarket sensor. Aftermarket parts are always hit or miss.

Spending enough time in car forums, reddit, etc I can bet I know what happened. Owner comes in and says "it cranks but won't start" and people chime with "when mine did that, I had to replace the computer" and someone else says "spark plugs/coils" and someone else says "fuel pump" and so on. No one listens when some folks ask "what codes are triggered?" or "what have you diagnosed?".

I'm an automotive locksmith. All we do is cars all day everyday and I would have declined this job. I tell customers we do 2 things. We make "lost" keys and lockouts. I get calls weekly "my car won't start I think my key needs to be reprogrammed". I explain there is no such thing as a key losing programming. Of course they argue with me. I explain this is an expensive process and if we come out and make a new key (we don't reprogram keys because that's not a thing) and your car still doesn't start you are still paying me because you diagnosed it and I told you to get a proper diag. I have never had anyone take me up on it. If they tell me they went swimming with the fob or they physically damaged it that's another story and we do those. Not starting with no known damage I send them to a mechanic. A good percentage of them get irate with me curse me out etc etc I don't care. I will not be part of someones shit show because they refuse to get a car looked it. We also get them where we make them a lost key and they never told us the car didn't start before they called us. Customers are something else. We show them the security light is off and the fob is good. Those people usually don't don't argue with us.

I had a Nissan Altima not start after the key's where programmed wrong by Ace Hardware locksmith. I am a mechanic and redid both keys and it ran great for several years after. That is a common Nissan thing after owning several.

@scotts4125 20 күн бұрын

@@jaygames1980 Having someone program the keys wrong is not the same as a perfectly good working key losing programming and needing to be reprogrammed. There is no such thing. Not even sure why you responded to what I wrote with what you wrote. I have seen fobs programmed that didn't have all the functions but once again that is a programming/user error. Why would anyone have ACE Hardware program a key by a clerk who maybe took a weekend course at best?I don't get that TBH. Not sure what is suppose to be common on a Nissan. Nissan doesn't have any more key programming issues than any other make. Honda's and Subaru's have programming issues as far as Asian cars go. If you know what you are doing both can be avoided.

Toyota Pro Ace City vans have and sometimes do lose programming on keys , it very much is possible I’ve witnessed this first hand, most vans in Europe all use engines and software from French manufacture Peugeot, so this issue isn’t exclusive to Toyota can also happen on Citroen, Peugeot, Fiat, Opel/Vauxhall(GM)

@scotts4125 10 күн бұрын

@@AnthonyAE86IRL I'm in America and it's not a thing here and I stand by that. We don't see domestic European vehicles. We only have imported Euro's made for the U.S. market. I do see Euro locksmiths and have never seen this issue from them either but I can only be sure about our market. It doesn't happen. Coils break on boards and chips go bad. That isn't losing programming but a parts failure. BCM's can go bad but that isn't a programming failure on the key. I still with everything I know about key programming think you are wrong unless you can point me to something factual that states otherwise. Everyone and their mother blames all kinds of weird issues on their keys at least here. I can count on one hand the amount of keys that actually go bad per year that aren't physically damaged. We do this 80-150 times per week. This is all we do. The ones that actually go bad happen to be mostly Euro keys. It's a thing with Mercedes especially coils going bad on the board. Just to let people know the battery on a fob is for the buttons. You can take the battery out of the fob and still start the car. People mix the transponder function up with the button functions.

I'm just a DIY'er and I love trying to fix my cars but if I'm honest, I'm just guessing most of the time and throwing the parts canon at it. I would love to learn from a professional like yourself that takes a systematic approach EVEN when you have a hunch as to what it might be from years of experience. Guys like you and Eric. O are the reason that people send their nuisance projects to you - you always look at the data/evidence even if it means ignoring your hunch.

I was gonna comment a similar idea. Put the scope back on injector and coils, and unplug both cam sensors. It may still not run but if now you get signals to the injectors and coils, that's a second piece of proof the pcm is not happy with the cam timing.

@BlewShirtGuy 20 күн бұрын

Love the description and details. One thing I have learned over the years, some vehicles, specifically most cars with a timing belt, usually has a PID in the engine data that shows cam/crank correlation or sync and it will tell you if it is I time or not during cranking in a matter of minutes. Huge time saver! Recently had a crank no start and found it would jump from sync to no sync and it was 7 teeth off. 😊

Yes sir - I would like to see the whole process. I honestly don't care if the video is longer. One of the problems with this video is when you're like "We're going to hook up to the engine control module and bring you back when that's all set up" well honestly, that's annoying and not helpful. Just set the camera on a tripod and do the work and narrate what you're doing. To see leads hooked up without the analysis for what wires to clip your leads to does us very little good. I'm not going to say there's no value but for us DIYers, these are significant and important steps. And maybe that's the issue - maybe your vids are targeted more for seasoned mechanics, not us DIYers. Anyways, you asked for feedback so there's mine. And please don't take this negatively - I absolutely LOVE your channel and feel grateful that you're giving us so much helpful information. THANK YOU!!

The manufacturer's strategies are getting more and more complex so further damage will not be taking place you are actually proving the necessity of having a scope to determine the actual cause in all the years I've always asked myself how can I obtain a strategies and usually the only way I obtain the strategies is just like you're doing you wind up with a problem one just like the Ford the other day with the injecto if I remember it was turning the century but the manufacturer's been using these different strategies and it would always be nice to know what they are IN ADVANCE😅

@kdmq 20 күн бұрын

That was the 2002 Taurus that would turn the injector on for 30 seconds and then turn it off for 30 seconds and then repeat over and over again. It took Sherwood hours of testing to clarify that this was in fact not an intermittently failing computer driver or open wire. I was super surprised to see a strategy like this on anything non-German from before 2005 or so. Maybe Ford and BMW were holding hands longer than i thought xD.
