I suppose the engineers in the case of that knock sensor case study didn't want to take any chances with detonation. Most other manufacturers use or claim to use knock sensor data for ignition timing modification only as a failsafe.

[@philhocknull2087]

Hey Dan love your videos. The first thing I noticed was the no fuel pump. Most fuel injection cars when you turn on the ignition switch the pump runs for 15 seconds to pressurize the system, you sometimes can hear this, then it runs during cranking. The pump stops when the ecu detects the engine has stopped or the ignition is turned off. Can't wait for the next video.

[@engeneer_ru5827]

This is typical for Japanese manufacturers. No pre-fueling.

[@jheetman]

Great fix as always Dan! I've diagnosed many dozens of bad fuel pumps in my career, some of them out of the shop at friends and families homes without much tools with me. Some of the quick tests that I take 5 mins to do right off the bat include taking off the gas cap and listening for the pump. If no pump is heard I would go for a relay first and without any test equipment a guy can swap one of the other known good relays in the fuse box with the fuel pump relay and VIOLA. I've seen relays fail to actuate, actuate but not pass current, and stay on due to welded contacts. They can fail a number of different ways and I'm sure I haven't seen them all yet!

[@Diagnosedan]

Thanks for the comment!

[@adambradley2173]

Hi sir is it possible if you can help me I've got a 93 ford ranger crank no start and I belive its a a bad fuel pump but I don't know much about cars please

[@jheetman]

@@adambradley2173 Quickest things are taking off the gas cap and listening for the pump. Just because a pump runs doesn't mean it's making proper pressure though. Then I would try adding some fuel to the intake with a can of starting fluid to see if the engine "pops off", if it does you can be pretty certain you have a fuel related issue.

I confess I would have loaded up the parts cannon with a relay once I saw the pump working off a working 12v feed. But, of course, you did it the correct way. Great video as always Dan, thanks. More please !

[@abdul-kabiralegbe5660]

That's the allure of shooting the parts cannon. It works until it doesn't.

[@Showing_the_car_]

@@abdul-kabiralegbe5660 Agreed, I wouldn't try it with ECUs, turbos and gearboxes but when it's loading a £10 relay into the cannon, I'd gamble on it. At worst you have a spare relay.

[@iceyu2235]

Or swap a nearby identical one? If one's available, no cost to try...

Sometimes the parts in the cannon are less expensive than the diagnostic time. Gas cap vs evap smoke testing for example.

@@RyanRiopel common sense and EXPERIENCE should prevail

[@ehsnils]

Nice diagnosis even if it was the long path to the conclusion of the relay being faulty. I would have started from the fuse box, but it would have been a very short video on the fuel diagnostic part.

[@callumcurtis15]

Usually no matter where you start, it always end up being the last thing you check 🤣🤣

Now you know the outcome that easy to say. If we had a bad fuel pump it would have been the other way around

[@elora2525]

Fuse box in many modern cars are not easy to get too and when you decide to start there it usually is at the other end and when you start at the other end the problem is around the fuse box

[@michaelmcdermott1877]

Another brilliantly described and broken down into easy to understand tests video. I've personally come across this exact problem on a VW pollo a few years ago. I didn't have some the wonderful test equipment you have available. However I used a test light to see if there was power going to the fuel pump, which of course there wasn't. I then ran a live inline fused power feed directly from the battery to test the pump. The car started straight up. So I took a change abd bought a new relay, and that was the problem.

[@jorgemat8080]

Love how you go the extra mile to explain the system and how it works. Most of us would just go directly to a fuse or relay and test but you went the extra steps to prove the integrity of the system and if the issue was a broken or shorted wire you would've found it. Thank you. I really enjoy your videos, you would make a great teacher in diagnostics. 👍

[@Diagnosedan]

Thanks!

[@drazenradosevic7467]

I have the same Swift model in the family since 2013, and it never missed a beat. That's why I was little surprised to see it as a patient in your workshop 🙂 I guess that any car can have a faulty relay after all 🙂 It is one of the best small cars on the market, that also happened to be quite affordable.

I love this video. Being a prehistoric mechanic (started several years before any diagnostic computers came on to the market) I was forced to learn the basics. When the diagnostic computers came on to the market some of the new mechanics were relying on them to tell them what was wrong with the car. In many cases you could just diagnose the cars without a computer. But I do love diagnostic equipment, I have some and I love to use it.
