Do any of these people who get ripped off by shop's who just throw parts, and don't diagnose the problem ever get their money back??? I fix all my own vehicle's, because I don't trust anyone to do an oil change right. My dad passed away last year, and I ended up with his truck. I went to do an oil change, and they were to lazy to put the right filter on, and put a smaller filter on. I have an 05 ranger with the 3.0, and the filter isn't that easy to get to, and it has this funnel to keep the oil from dripping onto the starter. The truck had left a leak spot only after driving, so i figured it was the filter, which was not even close to hand tight. I had a guy flag me down from an oil change place, and he showed me his dipstick that had no oil on it, and he was protesting the guy because the drain plug fell out, and locked his motor up, and he had it towed to the lube shop to make them take care of it, but they had already closed for the day. The guy went down the road with his phone, recording all the oil leaking it did. I have known two other people with the plug falling out. Part cannon city, along with junk parts from china, and then your car is still broke, crazy. Thanks for all the great content. God bless.

Just the fact that the one O2 sensor is almost touching the frame tells me that it's the wrong one or definitely aftermarket if the exhaust pipe is original and in the original position.

Since I dont have a pressure transducer, my next step would be to move the plugs and see if fouling followed them before I declared them to not be fouling as, I would want to rule them out completely as participating in the issues. As you describe the problem I am leaning to the notion that a rich mixture has crapped the aftermarket cats especially the right side, however you have not really explained how many miles or hours this truck might have been driving. lacking a transducer, and assuming there is no crossover I would look for a spot in the cam where all exhaust valves on bank 1 are closed and i would dump 100 PSI of compressed air into the Bank 1 pipe at the sensor hole and I would measure pressure using a screw in gauge at the back sensor hole. If there is a crossover, a simple sawzall cut followed by inserting a hunk of 18 ga sheetmetal would separate the two sides. If this "test" revealed no sever lag in delivering pressure through thc cat, I would move on to looking at the remainder of the exhaust. In the end I think you are going to return to that sensor that was touching the frame to solve your sensor voltage issue? .

Why is LTFT -1.56% and STFT only ca. -10% on both banks? Also, spraying brake cleaner around the intake manifold on the affected bank changed the fuel trims despite there being no leaks per a smoke test. There are surely two distinct problems. What done it?
@jessicav20312 жыл бұрын
If the O2 sensors are reading rich when they shouldn't, the engine is actually lean (it is removing more fuel than it should), so why would you smell gas and have fouled spark plugs? Wouldn't you only expect that if the engine was actually rich? Also if the sensors won't move down, why did it only reach -10%/-10%? Isn't the max -20%/-20%? This reminds me of the one where AFR sensors were accidentally used in a traditional O2 setup. The statement that "all four sensors can't be bad" actually seems completely wrong, since all four were probably replaced and who knows what they were replaced with (they could all be the wrong sensor or a junk sensor). Is there a better, independent way to tell if a rich condition actually exists? Other than sniffing the tailpipe (which apparently indicated it is real)?

The o2 sensors read rich because the actual afr is rich. The trims would be taking fuel away (leaning the engine from the designed ratios). What would cause the engine to be rich is anyone's guess, since it's even across the whole engine, maybe an intake restriction, bad pressure regulator sending raw fuel into the manifold, bad o2 sensor ground (but they oscillate and read fine so I don't think it's the o2s)

In my great uncles stepdaughters Ford EL Falcon it had a problem with the ground wire causing that sort of problem because the fuel injectors & the ignition coil is grounded through the wire which had a corrosion problem,it wasn't firing properly on cylinder number 6 & the spark plug was a bit wet. It's possible that the PCM in the car in the video has a short circuit or a partial short circuit in the ignition coil signal circuit or fuel injector driver circuit,a possible cause is water inside the PCM,I have had that problem before. It could be something a simple as a corroded terminal in a wiring connector or in the PCMs wiring harness or the wiring harness could be chafing on the chassis ground somewhere therefore causing it to short to ground, check the loom visually to see if it has been melted through by the exhaust headers, etc,I've had to do some wiring loom work on a 1991 model Toyota SV21 .Camry which had an overheated but not seized engine in it,some of the wires melted.together & shorted out inside of the loom. If it runs a return style of fuel system then there may be a blockage in the return side of the fuel system, it's a possibility that could be causing the "pig" rich condition as well

@@PayNoTax-GetNoVote very true. But it did happen in my case plus i was getting p0300 as well. Random misfire, not just 1 or 2, that's when i knew the chain was worn out

Strong smell of gas suggests that O2 sensors are not incorrect/defective and exhaust really is that rich. Cat on Bank 1 could be compromised as a result. So that may need to be replaced, depending on results of pressure testing. But why is exhaust rich? Insufficient spark? Test those aftermarket ignition coils. Looking forward to part 2.

Good video ! I would go for one area at a time exhaust then fuel then ignition that way you can eliminate possibly of bad aftermarket parts . I am taking a stab at first bad aftermart part or parts then a crack intake manifold

Can't wait to see how this turns out...my initial thought was that if a whole bank is bad it could be a bad cat if each bank has their own. Geez, maybe I'm actually learning something watching all of these repair vids ;)

Experience tells me that plugged exhaust results in a smooth lack of power even when it is just one bank. Much like a clogged fuel filter does, but instead of totally falling on its face, it still has power. I would expect that it is probable for misfire counters to add up on that bank, but they would be quite even on all cylinders. I have never checked. The individual cylinder misfires when you roll into the throttle is almost always due to a fault in the secondary ignition components. It is simply harder for the spark to jump the plug gap under load, so the spark likes to go elsewhere. That's not to say that the converter isn't plugged as well, but there is something wrong with some secondary ignition components on that bank.

Great comment. Yes, the "fishbite" under load is a classic secondary ignition problem.

I'm going with bad O2 sensors. It looks like they are hitting the frame, which has possibly worn through the wiring harness coming out of the sensors

You may want to be careful with the music that you have playing in the background (I.e. the radio in the car). KZbin has been pretty efficient at spotting copyrighted music and demonetizing (as well as muting audio). On another note, I find your videos very interesting, thanks for taking along.

Back Pressure probably excessive on bank 1. I would like to see the results of forcing it lean. I think it will be a combo of the O2 sensors and they caused the Bank 1 Cat to be destroyed. I wouldn't hesitate to pull and inspect those plugs. Come on Part 2!
@Stoney3K2 жыл бұрын
It was basically forced to maximum lean when it was running closed loop (the O2 sensors were almost at maximum rich), so what I don't understand is why the actual fuel flow was not lean, while the PCM did command it. PCM injector drivers could also be the culprit.

I'm not onboard the O2 Sensor train. They read rich, so they'd send the engine lean. Also, catalytic converter doesn't seem likely. I'd expect the engine to fall on it's face at higher RPMs - it starts misfiring at 1500 RPM when powerbraking, but it revs well beyond 4k... air mass and thus back pressure would be significantly higher there. I'd first look at the fuel rail pressure; maybe also the MAF. O2 Sensor ground may be a secondary issue; but it shouldn't be the root cause of the symptoms you observe - for example, poor startup shouldn't be caused by the O2s at all.
