2006 Ford Escape with a Misfire

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Great diagnosis, Bernie! A pressure transducer and pressure analysis is worth its weight in gold :)

[@leftyspinn]

That scope is like magic. Its so powerful and fast and combined with a scanner its perfect

[@spirokattan3655]

Once again Bernie demonstrates technique, the use of pressure transducers and the power of the scope. Amazing! Thank you Bernie for taking the time to film and post!

[@leftyspinn]

Any tech or shop owner that doesnt believe in using this equipment is dead in the water for anything more than very simple diagnostic work. Shop owners should be able to see the value in the purchase. Accurate, quick diagnosis and no bad review from a customer who was sold the wrong parts

[@rysacroft]

It goes to show that even if you have the best diagnostic software you still have to use your brain in order to fix the problem. Nice one Bernie!

[@JimmyMakingitwork]

Problem misfires from other shops are always fun. All new coils, plugs and sometimes even injectors….I’ll install a vacuum gauge and know if it’s mechanical or not in 1-2 minutes. Or maybe bring out the amp clamp and scope if I feel adventurous for a cranking compression test. A simple vacuum gauge will show you restricted exhaust or cam timing issues as well. At least give you a direction to go.

[@yamaha37776]

Bernie=legend. When the video started I all ready assumed a vacuum leek. KEEP EM COMING BERNIE!

[@stephenmarshall5302]

This guys knowledge is impressive

[@kbru78]

Bernie preaching pressure transducers! I've got to get to his class!!!

[@robertmobileman8304]

Master class Bernie

[@Joe.O_623]

Bernie is a national treasure. The Steve Jobs of diagnostics....

[@eacherenkeka]

Bernie! Every video I watched from you I learn a lot! Thank you for teaching us to analyze the data from a higher level! I wished you were my shop foramen when I started doing this job!

[@DanWallis86]

I missed you Bernie. Good to see you back.

[@MaicSalazarDiagnostics]

I just ordered the Escope Elite 8ch from Aeswave! Down side they said it can take two weeks to ship

[@vickenkaragozian2041]

Bernie is the master. With Escope misfire detector you can find misfires easily and with the pressure transducers and the rules it makes it so easy. Thanks Bernie for making great equipment. Looking forward for new videos and new lab scope accessories as always.

[@baxrok2.]

Beautiful example of pressure analysis. Looking forward to the follow up. Thanks Bernie!

[@bikerman54]

Bernie, you should have a million subs.! You are a great teacher..!!

[@kennethd7048]

Hey there Mr Thompson.. I always look forward to watching you diagnose these cars and trucks of all makes and models. It's sad to see some of these vehicles going from shop to shop to shop.. when they should be calling you first. I know that's not really possible, but your system should be employed across the industry..

[@baileyvolkert]

Wow what a great video. I haven't saved a video to watch later in years but this one is a gem.

[@shaunsautorepairs5410]

scope for the win again....another awesome diagnosis explained clearly...thanks for sharing.

[@MrBeefsnorkel]

where's bernie's genius son thats gonna take over the reigns when he feels like kicking his feet up in mexico having beers instead of working? THIS MUST GO ON

[@OregonCoastVideo]

So nice to see Real Techs at work! ,, Bravo !

[@bobflannagan7262]

Didn't see usage of the tailpipe pressure transducer wave form. Otherwise, SUPER! Thank you Bernie!

[@a.a.2677]

Brilliant interpretation of data !

[@cullenmiller8170]

If the shops would have to pay for all the unnecessary parts they sold to customers they could afford training and proper tools. Obviously, it’s easier to unleash the parts cannon and stick it to the customers.

[@robertmartz9812]

Nobody wants to expand their knowledge. Mitchell says 90 percent of time it's this or that with said code so throw a part at it.

[@IAMNOSLEEP]

Thanks for sharing Bernie... Cheers.

[@courtneysmith4354]

I miss you Bernie your videos are awesome

[@mannyautotech]

master BERNIE thanks for sharing, this is a very hig level to diagnose a car with misfire, i like your tablet with a lot of tools on it

[@centrotecnicoautomotriz302]

Diagnóstico certero como siempre! Muy bien explicado. Alguien tendremos un esos equipos!

[@terminaldiagnostics5576]

Brilliant yet again you are a master

[@glennallen7129]

Thanks for the video Bernie! I’ve been asking if your tool has a known good cam/crank correlation waveform like pico does but I can’t seem to find an answer and it looked like you had one. Anyways I hope you take care of your health!

[@neverstoplearning382]

Thank you mr Bernie. God bless you.

[@josephperry4344]

Bernie, will you provide a link as to what needs to be done to get the exhaust cam in time? I haven't found anything. Great video!

[@hansvanrengs2642]

Hello Bernie, Thanks for the great video's you make. Question, i have the 8 channel scope and can not find the PSI button, is that a new update? Greetings Hans

[@sinegra30]

Thank you Bernie! I though Air GPS readings were only accurate in engines above 3.5 liters

[@tech1302]

I might be wrong but isn't this a timing chain engine that if you loosen the crank pulley it will jump time? As in it doesn't have a key way in the crank and is held in place by the balancer bolt.

[@johnz8210]

Yes, this is that one.

[@ALZWE-LIBYAN-CAR-ELECTRICIAN]

That's nice. Q: If I have a L4 engine with 2 camshaft sensors on intake and exhaust (VVT engine) and when I see cam crank Waveforms I have a timing issue,,, How Could I know If I have a mechanical timing adjusting or I have a Vvt Solenoid issue?

[@jacobgroezinger1606]

What's crazy is that those engines are very easy to check cam to cam timing. If you have the special tools, then it is very easy to check crank to cam timing as well.

[@EXOVCDS]

is disconnecting the fuel injector not necessary / only done when access is easy? How long is it safe to run the engine (for the cat) before having to worry about it?

[@johnsmith-dm2tq]

That's Crazy, last car I worked on was a 73 Chevy 305. I have never seen how cars are diagnosed now days... You just blew my mind. Where would be a good place to start if I wanted to learn more about how to do this?

[@ganeshnarayan5505]

Great video Bernie i'm learning a lot form the best. thanks for sharing.

[@kennethbode2017]

Bernie does it again

[@Mdavied2023]

on cylinder one ignition coil, you grounded the coil why you didnt disable the injector ?

[@luisenriquesandovalquiros4302]

Saludos Bernie . Gracias por compartir tan importante información y estrategia de diagnóstico . Estoy viendo cada uno de los vídeos , excelente clase . Kike de taller Pit Lane Costa Rica

[@phlipdz]

How much would a shop charge for that diagnosis? Great video.

[@jesseruiz2337]

You make it look so easy Bernie. Great content!

[@gonzgarr1592]

It's a top shop but they still call you bernie you are top notch thank you again

[@carlosmatusmolina3002]

Thx Mr Thomson

[@WeakPiggy]

Can you use a pressure transducer for diesels for mechanical engine failure?

[@CartersDiagnostics]

Nice video, great pressure analysis. I can't tell from the video but Im thinking the peak compression was higher than expected also. I would like to see or know what the running peak compression is after the repair, compared to before. Compression and Vacuum are relative.. Low vac = higher compression

[@tjmhlw]

If you buy his company tool he should offer training with the scope would love to go to something like that the knowledge he has

[@chrisduran8692]

I’d recommend a trainer named Branden Steckler! He uses the same methods and has even worked with Bernie. He has great in depth analysis and explanation.

[@anujaauto6206]

very help full video

[@Username64870]

Good work..!

[@jeffsandler3339]

Who could thumbs down this !!! Thanks for mentioning this Mans name Ivan @ PHAD

[@davec7]

Maybe I'm dumb, but I don't think the solution was mention 🤷‍♂️

[@Lambros_Stefaneas]

next level.

[@tjmhlw]

He post I watch this gentleman is next level trying to get there

[@josephquattrocchi5620]

Brandon Steckler has a book he wrote about this very topic. Bernie and Brandon network a lot. The book is available on Aeswave. I can't recommend this enough, because so much material about pressure analysis needs to be familiar as we watch Bernie. He moves in real time.

[@MegaJcamp]

Be nice if we knew how the exhaust timing became off?

[@amichanharricharran3630]

Who changed the timing belt.

[@trashpandaoutdoors772]

Chain

[@richardcranium5839]

i am surprised it caused the low vacuum for only being 34-40 degrees off. would have expected an elevated peak just before the intake opened, or a higher exhaust pressure

[@JoelAutomotiveInaction]

I had misfire for 11 degrees off exhaust with fuel trims dtc

[@ADDAUTOMOBILESERVICES]

👍

[@aymenmohamed1134]

Awesome

[@ErikTheVikingMechanic]

What happened to Bernie? He sounds sad or like without energy.

[@RL-xb4gz]

Guys like him should not be able to retire before 80 years of age

[@danman9017]

thanks very good

[@frankjohn4302]

Another 1

[@hddm3]

Amazing! Thanks again. Talent on loan from god!

[@edmarkcabral4597]

Coloca uma legenda em português, ou então traduzir para o português, ok

[@Rawr454]

wow

[@spirokattan3655]

Amazing!!

[@dwayneperry6830]

Thanks very much it's very good

[@ivandrago2557]

Why did fuel trims stay about zero if engine was misfiring, wouldn't that mess o2 readings. Also how maf sensor reading was above normal if exhaust gases take a place of intake air. Where from addditional maf sensor readings come from.

[@JOMaMa..]

O O O Oreillys auto parts...ahhhhh!

[@philh9238]

Something seems off with Bernie. I think he’s got health problems. Seems like he has no energy in this video compared to the others

[@liberty_views]

Probably completely fed up with google and unmotivated by the crap going on in the world.

[@tonycotta6602]

Greta diagosis but the repair will cost more than the truck.

[@therealdealtech8460]

What a waste of time , first step is a compression test, then swap coils then check for contaminated fuel
