I remember the video where you rescued Mom in the Camry with a starter that was going out. I'm pretty sure that's the first time I learned she had cancer. Have wanted to inquire but afraid to ask how she is doing. So glad she is still with you and God willing she will be for years to come.

[@StrongerThanBigfoot]

I hate working on electrical stuff. I need to make this a mission to master this area

[@ScannerDanner]

you found the right channel to help you with that! Welcome!

[@dankools2307]

Just a guess but the misfire values on your scan tool appear to be in Hexadecimal. Using a Hex to decimal converter, the 0a3d standard value listed on your scanner converts to 2621. The 0c05 test value on your tool for cylinder 2 converts to 3077 which is higher than 2621. All of the other cylinders have a converted test value less than 2621.

[@benjaminrich9396]

Definitely. Like a nerd I converted them all earlier myself. God we're sad. haha. I'm probably missing something, but 2621 Seems an oddly high threshold of what misfire count gets classed as a "FAIL" not an "OK" for the "VALUE". Especially as, given it threw a p0300 not just a p0302, it must have decided on some level those other cylinders' non zero misfire counts were still too much. :)

[@ScannerDanner]

Thank you!

[@ScannerDanner]

It is super common to have a single cylinder misfire record false misfiring events on other cylinders. Just an FYI and that's what was happening here for sure. Thanks!

[@Discretesignals]

That is because the tool is showing them as type A (TID $54) misfires in the list which has a set threshold of 2621 events per 200 revolutions of the crank. Type A misfires are considered catalyst damaging which #2 cylinder is. If his tool showed TID $55, you would see the type B misfire counts and threshold. Type B misfires are counted every 1000 revolutions of the crank. Type B misfires are considered emissions damaging, but not catalyst damaging. P0300 is showing up because there are other cylinders breaching the type B threshold. TID $53 would show both type A and type B misfire counts. @@benjaminrich9396

Hey Paul, First of all, best of luck and health for your mom, you and yours! Such a great attitude she has! Wanted to thank you for the hookup of the uscope a while back, you rock, and this scope rocks!!! Wanted to thank you for this video, I was just going to use it to check the ignition system on my van and I see you posted this video, so now I’ll know how to, great timing!!! 👊🙏 I have a nasty vibration but I don’t feel a misfire… Anyways, just wanted to let you know 👊

[@jacksautorepair]

I was working at a shop with an old man, older than me and had a car with what the customer described as a fish bite. The typical bad plug wire. I checked everything and scanned the car, but during test drive it bumped one time and went back to normal. No codes no misfires on scanner. I know they say test don’t guess, but there are a few time where I fixed a car that others failed to fix by guessing. The old shop owner asked, what does it feel like? I said it feels like a bad plug wire misfire. He yelled, well put a set of wires on the car! 😳 It worked! Also had a GM been sitting out back for several years. That 3.8 where the magnet for the cam sensor fell out and no start. You helped me fix that one a few years ago by explains how this system works when the camshaft sensor fails and when it fails determines what happens. Now I’m looking at 2009 Lexus LS460? v8. Strong smell of gasoline inside the car and under the hood, but you see zero gas leak! It’s like gas is spraying out at high pressure and instantly evaporating into the air. I mean it such a strong smell it will take your breath away you worry about the thing catching fire. No evidence of a leak on top or under the car. Maybe injector seals or lines or pressure regulator, but zero evidence of any leak! Ordered the parts in the kit they recommended but it’s nothing but washer, intake plenum gasket and small buffing pad like a tiny scotch bright pad but very small like made to fit a small Dremel. I have no idea where this strong gas smell is coming from. I’m tired of looking for it and breathing fumes 😳

Techs who think they do not need a scope have no idea what they are missing. Using Lab scopes has literally mad my life for the better. I have excelled at work because of the utilization of scopes and have been rewarded for it very well. It has made me enjoy my trade so much more . In industrial generator work lab scopes also help with power quality analysis. I am always showing how my scope has helped troubleshoot some really difficult problems in hopes that the other techs will catch on but unfortunately I have had no one interested enough to get one.

[@ScannerDanner]

it's my neighbors car (the one with the RV) he is an electrician and was going to put an electric powertrain in it. Not sure what his plans are with it now. It's been sitting there for a long time

[@GeminiSeven43]

Thanks so much for taking us with you "Back Home" and so thankful to hear that your Mom is still doing well, Thank God. I had to laugh when you showed us "The Barn" and mentioned good times there and I had a stable that was my early years "Laboratory" and since it had electricity I was able to learn about it at an early age (thank God I made it out alive...lol). I remember taking the electric motor out of her vacuum and then not being able to get it back in and so I hid the motor and figured that she wouldn't notice (Moms always seem to notice though don't they?) Great times and memories and I wish you and your Mom many more.

[@ScannerDanner]

😂 great story! Thanks for sharing

[@ThunderbirdRocket]

Great lesson ! Thanks !! It was perfect when your mom said ; about the barn ; “that’s where animals go “ ! How apt !! 🎯 You could not have scripted it any better than that . 👌🏼 . Just like you Paul - I was a little “animal” in my youth too ! 😆👍🏼

Hey Paul! Whats your thoughts on picos 12 channel signal mixer? I believe they call it the mixmaster.. something of that sort.lol. the wife ended up getting me one for Christmas but without actually having it in my hands at the moment and not getting any looks at the book or manual, you was the first person to pop in my head about any information or perspective on the tool!

[@biglevstergarage]

So when you were looking up the Mode 06 data and all the cylinder misfires, its like a code used under certain manufacturers of the scan tool I'd say. I also wonder if it can go to Landscape mode instead of just vertical which may make things easier to clarify for you. I would only pay attention though to that cylinder 2 on Mode 6 where it said "Failed." I could be wrong too, but just trying to help ya out somewhat.

[@photoshopman1972]

Those numbers you are seeing are in hexidecimal format. Some calculator apps can convert it for you

[@jdtractorman7445]

It would be interesting to see if it's a bad coil, bad plug or bad coil boot. These Triton engines whether it be a 4.6, 5.4 or the 6.8L, it's best to use Motorcraft plugs and change all of the boots on the coils. Heat is the enemy for those boots, and they do break down over time and allow spark to arc out to the cylinder head. I get it though; these are the heads that have maybe 3 or 4 threads holding the plugs in. If the owner has anywhere around 80-90k miles on that engine, he will probably start having other issues as far as misfires go. Back when I had my 98 F-150 with the 5.4L, that's about when my issues started. Well wishes to your Mom Paul.

[@therealspixycat]

Question: can I use a MAP sensor as a pulse sensor?

[@ScannerDanner]

You're better off with a fuel tank pressure sensor as they are more sensitive . But yes, check out my Hummer series. I used an existing MAP sensor to view intake pulses

[@atikovi1]

Had similar misfires on an 03 V10 box truck with a lot more miles. It's a 22 year old truck and if one coil is going out, the others aren't far behind. Access to them on these vans is a big pain, so it makes sense to knock them all out at once and be good for another 20 years. And this is not the time to cheap out on the parts. OEM Motorcraft only, or don't bother at all.

[@ScannerDanner]

at $120 a coil from Ford, I wouldn't be dropping over $1000 in coils on this. But I understand your point too

[@atikovi1]

The Motorcraft DG508? $35 at Rock Auto.

[@ScannerDanner]

​@@atikovi1rock auto coils? No thanks

[@atikovi1]

Up to you. $35 from RA or $55 from Ford.

[@donwasse7892]

​@@ScannerDannerrockauto doesn't make any parts, they're just a reseller like any parts store. It's no different than ordering Motorcraft from Orielly or chinesium dorman. It's people choosing the cheapest chinesium parts available that is the problem, rockauto gets the blame. ACDelco, Mopar, Motorcraft are often available on rockauto when no local suppliers can source them for our shop. We order from dealers, but he's right, those older parts are well below the cost from the dealership for the same part.
