Thx Denis. Makes some sense. Kinda counterintuitive though, as most would expect the performance of the higher priced version to be better. Anyway all good. Enjoy the Summer, on the edge of August already. Cheers & thx for checking in. 🍻

I only have had experience with the 152 & 3. Both appear to be great starter/entry level products. Thx for watching 🍻

Sorry Denis. I don’t see your comment. 🤷‍♂️

Thx James. Honestly I am no expert. Just trying to pass on what little I can. 🍻

muito obrigado 🍻

Very reasonably priced. Thx for watching 🍻

Good value for the money. Thx for watching. 🍻

@@TheGibby3340 do you have a how to replace head gasket on the sx4?

Never had to do one thankfully. 🍀🍻

@@TheGibby3340 I'm pretty sure mine is bad so I'll a series of videos doing it.. have you ever had a random misfire code on start up only .. I get them about once every couple weeks.. always different cylinders..I'll erase the codes and I'll be done for a couple weeks.. the engine runs fine.. I checked everything.. new plugs, coils, cam sensor, checked injectors, no vacuum leaks, etc.. no other codes.. maybe something with the PCM?.

If you figure a head gasket leak, is it possible coolant in the cylinder is causing your misfire on start up? Pressure test the cooling system and perform a compression test to confirm your suspicions. Head gasket issue would likely result in coolant loss, either through over pressurization or burnt within the cylinders. 🍀

Is it a CVT?

@@TheGibby3340 Yes

@@TheGibby3340 what are you getting at? I checked the cvt oil dipstick and it looks like clean motor oil.. I know it's supposed to be green oil... So maybe the previous owner screwed up bigtime or did the green oil turn brown from overheating?

I believe the CVT models have a dedicated external oil cooler. Check for debris/core damage restricting air flow. Also check for kinked or collapsed/pinched CVT oil lines. Such a condition could result in excessive heat transfer to the evaporator (if equipped) and radiator assemblies. Also confirm CVT oil quantity. Assuming you have already checked the basics of cooling system…quantity, quality, pressure, no air locks and circulation. In addition to electric fan operation. 🍀🍻

@@TheGibby3340 I just took the transmission pan off.. there seems to be some very fine fillings on the magnets.. nothing too crazy.. the external core looks ok.. yes it transfers to the radiator as well .. I'm pretty sure someone changed the cvt oil and put in motor oil.. could this be causing the engine temp to rise to hot when I'm in gear and driving? Very oddball situation to troubleshoot... I'm going to replace the trans filter and add new cvt green oil . I was minutes away from pulling the head and changing the head gasket thinking that was my issue.. but no white smoke, plugs look fine. Car runs fine at idle.. I noticed someone added barsleak in the radiator

Thx Boss 🍻

Thx again. Greatly appreciated 🍻

It’s really all about the index point on the trace (#1 cylinder @ TDC on compression stroke for example) relative to identifiable index point of the cam(s) rotation. Loss of cam to crank “Synchronization” (timing chain/belt skip or stretch for example) can result in difficult to diagnose performance issues. Signal amplitude (Y axis) and separation in time (degrees) on X axis are critical factors that are compared to known good waveforms to discern normal from out of tolerance. Thx for watching 🍻

Thx so much 🍻

Thx so much. 🍻

Thx Steven. Hope you’re doing ok yourself. And enjoying a seaside summer. 🍻

@@TheGibby3340 Yes, ticking over ok, thanks…It is more like enduring a cold wet seaside summer 😳

Aye…See that on the news. Never mind. It’s still early July 🤞

Thank you very kindly for the offer. And suggestion. The whole story is …I paid $200 for it, but it came with a good quality manifold gauge set that I didn’t need, sold the gauge set for $150. So $50 net…I am in the process of attempting to source the Teflon cup seal. The “piston” is simply threaded to the rod and traps the seal. We’ll see. Thx for watching 🍻

@@TheGibby3340 I was imagining the setup mounted to a modified welding cart. It was pretty awesome in my head. The Robin-Aire pump was built in the 1970s, when they built things to last. It's just sitting in a large plastic bin in front of my gaarage, taking up space that I could use for something else. I just never got into A/C work. I understand the concepts and could do it, if i absolutely had to. And I think about getting into it every now and then. I just have too many things already on my plate that I never planned on. I "Accidentally" got into a lawn equipment repair business, and it takes most of my time. I used to do it occasionally to help a neighbor and keep up my own stuff. That "Word-of-Mouth" non-solicited advertising has almost overwhelmed me at times. But it's fun, mostly. Especially since I'm not even a mechanic. Well, have a great weekend and I hope you get your rig going!

Thx so much. I’m not a mechanic either, just interested and cheap 🤣 It can be very satisfying hearing a machine roar to life , after a carb clean or some such. Thx again 🍻

Thx for watching 🍻

Maybe. Straight forward fix I hope if, I say “if” I can source the Teflon cup seal. We’ll see. Thx for watching 🍻

@@TheGibby3340 How long have you owned and used it since purchasing used?

I picked it up late last summer. Rough around the edges, so slowly sorting it out. 🤞

Any ideas with respect to a supplier of repair parts for this thing Tom? Any help would be greatly appreciated. 🙏

@@TheGibby3340 I would do the same thing that you’ll have to do. I’d be sending an email contact TECH Support or support products.

@@TheGibby3340 I would be sending an email to yellowjacket tech-support or their after product sales support and see where they lead you either purchasing from a third-party vendor or directly from them. I have never purchased a yellow jacket, electronic analog gauges 40 years ago.

I will do that. I have a sinking feeling this product will be no longer supported. We’ll see. Cheers 🍻

Which year and model are you referring to? Depends on how “modern” the subject vehicle is… It’s my understanding that modern duty cycle controlled fuel pumps are usually brushless. So they’re are no segments because they’re are no brushes. The coils are static (stator) and the field is electronically switched (rotated). The rotor that drives the pump may have permanent magnets inlaid. No physical contact is made, supposedly improving reliability and durability. The electronics tend to be the weak link in the system. You maybe still able to monitor current to each leg of the motor, if the control is remote from the pump and an interface harness permits clamp on probe access. Again I believe they are usually 3 phases. Essentially making the system a DC to AC hybrid of sorts. Does that answer your question? I have a couple of videos on the channel regarding brushless DC motor control. They might clarify system architecture for you. Be aware simpler PWM control systems do exist.

@@TheGibby3340 yes thank you

I'm changing tanks on a 2011 crown vic and do not know the condition of the pump in the new to me used tank or my old pump. I have run vic pumps on direct 12v to empty tanks, so hopefully I can get some idea of the condition of both pumps and only put the new tank in once.

One problematic area is the flex lines (discharge & suction) at the compressor. They become permeable with age. You have to roll back the insulation sleeve to expose the leak. I spent $250 replacing mine only for them to leak in the exact same manner. NOS I guess 🤷‍♂️ Thx for watching. 🍻 Suzuki SX4 Refrigerant Leak kzbin.info/www/bejne/Y4DbdIymlq2JhNE

problem is, when it has P0607, it goes straight to limp mode. Quite dangerous.

Megazip.net likely your best option. Fair warning, not cheap. 🍻

Thx again. Little difficult to say without actually seeing it, but is it possible you had the coupling selected on “AC”?

@@TheGibby3340 thank you for your reply, a calibration seemed to have cleared it up so hopefully this solution, like your videos, may be of help to someone else. However, as others have noted elsewhere the unit gives an error when reading voltages below 1v. eg. I measure a 12v battery which measures 12.7v when the units are 1v or higher, but under 1v the voltage shows less than 12v (9v, 6v etc) in the numerical data at the top. Another You Tuber made a video about this but I’m not sure if I can post links. My personal opinion regarding this is that the unit only calculates the data from what is displayed on screen and if the measurements are beyond the limits of the screen the data becomes incorrect. I will try and post the video in another comment here for everyone’s reference.
