FORD MERCURY V6 P0201 OPEN INJECTOR TAKE 2

[@fdxdsm]

THANKS for the awesome videos! People gotta understand that when you are trying to support a family AND produce content, occasionally the content has to take a back seat to chow on the table. I will take what you have to share and I learn more every time. THANKS and Merry Christmas

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Great vid James, always cool to see the brotherly love lol! Would have been interesting to throw an amp clamp on the feed wire to the injectors and see if the current for #1 was dropping off before you had a complete open ckt and a hard misfire. Might save some time test driving and getting it to act up...intermittent problems never show up when you want them to in the shop haha

[@jamesdanner7850]

+motoYam82 i should have thought of that. Paul would have . HA

[@SNWxGaming]

I'm upset to find out that before I had taken my car into the shop yesterday I had taken off the intake and swapped coils and plugs from cylinder 2 to 4 and put it all back together just to still get misfire on 2. And to watch this video and see that I was only a couple clips and 4 bolts away on pulling the fuel rail off, and saving myself $350 dollars in labor by replacing the one bad injector myself. I'm not too nechanicly inclined but I've been in my engine bay enough, just never messed with the fuel rail because of lack of confidence but I appreciate this upload. Moving forward I will be doing the next injector failure myself.

jimmy all your vidos are great and not a one that is boreing ...all are very helpful too all of us out here on youtube

[@redwoodhd6217]

That's pretty sweet both of you are in the automotive field. I enjoy watching both you and your brother, keep up the good work!

[@jamesdanner7850]

Yeah but it makes a real boring family get together for everyone else if we start talking. Ha

[@jamesdanner7850]

Nice

[@michaelherbert8213]

It's about time, lol. I'm kidding man. I couldn't imagine trying to make videos at work. Half of my footage would be of me looking for a socket that I just had in my hand, hahaha. Great video, thanks.

[@jamesdanner7850]

Ha. Mine could easily have a whole lot of Clark

[@DENicholsAutoBravado]

+Michael Herbert Ha! I've edited a lot of that out...but during editing I found what I was looking for before! Lol...granted, I had already found it, but I should of stopped and looked at my footage when I took a break. :P

[@eddiemartinez265]

Can only do what you can do.

[@DENicholsAutoBravado]

eddie martinez That's true.

[@WrenchinFish]

you make awesome videos. it's hard to find time to stop and record a diagnostic video when time is money. so much respect to you sir for doing your videos

[@jamesdanner7850]

Thank you for the feedback

[@billrimmer5596]

None of your videos r lame. U always make sure we know exactly why u r replacing a part. I noticed u r using two different scanners. One of them seems to give a scope pattern. Or a graphing pattern. Is that the difference between the two? We know it takes effort to film these videos and really appreciate u doing them!! Please keep them coming. They r real!!

[@jamesdanner7850]

Yea. The one is just a scan tool. The other is just a live graphing meter. They have all in one combined versions but I guess I'm just used to my way

[@johnhafernik9468]

no white board, no gloves, no snap on $12,000 scanner, a waekoen tester. my kind of mechanic. enjoyed it

[@jamesdanner7850]

Cool. Thanks

[@toyotatechMDT]

That was a great video, you shouldn't have worried! Just seen Paul's reply to the beginning! You know if you don't torque every bolt North Korea will attack, the seas will rise and the sky will fall!!!! Thanks Danner

[@jamesdanner7850]

Nice. Thank you!

[@ozzstars_cars]

the Santa pic was great. I commented on Pauls channel thats the same look when he gets a P0420 code on his own personal car. lol Nice fix, take it easy - Ozz

[@DENicholsAutoBravado]

+Ozzstar I'm sure I had the same look over my personal car getting that code. I'm like. I've beat you before. I'll beat you again! Lately it's the upstream sensor getting stuck rich or lean so crazy fuel trims from it whack out fuel and the rear O2 sensor calls it wrong.

[@trainer2018]

If you have been busy James it's understandable, gotta put food on the table and that's priority. Nice to see you got another video up. I am busy myself. In a couple more weeks though the semester will be over so I get a break from instructing. Then I just have to concentrate on my Full Time job wrenching. Anyway, good material as always, take care.

[@jamesdanner7850]

Cool. What do u teach?

[@trainer2018]

+James Danner Intro to Electrical for the Diesel Program. Been doing it for a couple years now. Last week was pretty fun for me I got to tinker around with a manufacturer specific pico scope that was made for Case New Holland. Got to look at hydraulic pressures and currents on different valves on a bulldozer.

[@jamesdanner7850]

Nice. Way better than adapters ,plugs and gauges. Diesel is one of many things I'd like to know more about

[@trainer2018]

+James Danner Any questions let me know. I'll do my best to answer them. I have quite a few vids up now myself doing diagnostics on buses. That will give you an idea what I deal with.

Excellent, love the video and the high tech monitor stand... brake rotor and a coil pack. (LMAO) who would of thought. just proves that necessity is the mother of invention. gotta get me one. and the precious pic of Scanner whaaanner. Lol😄. I will admit I didn't hear the click of the torque wrench was a bit deaf from the Jack hammer in the background. But I will take your word for it. Thank you for this video it made my day. I give it 👍👍👍👍👍 And wish you and yours a wonderful holiday. take care. Much appreciated Ed Q.

james i thought for sure you were going to use the amp clamp! either way you got it done. congratulations on the addition to the danner family. i respect you brother!

[@jamesdanner7850]

Thank you

[@cardiaglexia995]

James perfect video .very very intresting abo for you & all good for you.thanks.

[@blain969]

Hi James. Maybe try to measure resistance of this injector when you heat him up.Some time thats help to find short windings in coils.

[@fenixflat1]

Great job master...............................

[@CoolAirVw]

Its a good video. Main point I gleaned from this is the impossibility of diagnosing an electrical code when it isn't reoccurring. I like that you said, you offered the customer to change the injector but he declined since you couldn't pinpoint it. Would have saved you some time and maybe him some diag fee's if he would have taken the risk and allowed the shotgun approach.

[@jamesdanner7850]

Yes . But then on my end it sucks to not have near 100% confidence . Then u wait for that Monday morning answering machine message with the car sitting back in the lot. Ha. Glad he left it with me instead. Thanks for participating

Yep, your brother sent me! I subscribed and will be enjoying your videos.

[@wyattmayhall7310]

james did you need to reprogram the injectors

[@garlinwillingham7011]

I enjoyed the watching the vid. I like your thoroughness and attention to detail when you repair cars. Will the ohm value change if you use a heat gun on a injector when removed just as a experiment? Keep up the good work.

[@jamesdanner7850]

I wish I had time to play around like that. It did act up(open) hot but not sure if motion of the pintle also contributed to a bad winding or connection being aggrivated.

[@AlwaysDiagnoseVehicleFirst]

Good morning James and nice to meet you! I love your videos they are great and detailed. I have a (2003 Dodge Caravan SE V6 3.3) and its throwing (P1684 & P0201) code and i need help diagnosing these codes. Are you able to please help me?

[@principalbeast]

hey man thanks for taking your time to put up videos really appreciate it.

[@jamesdanner7850]

+principalbeast thanks for watching and the feedback

[@AGuysGarage]

i wouldn't consider any repair advice trivial, or lame no matter how easy or straight forward it was. 1. its coming from a professional and 2. Everyone has to start somewhere, may have been just what that person needed to see to whip out there brand new wrench set and fix their car. =) NICE! smiling on santas lap!!! hahahhahahaha that was great, Scanner Danner squalin.

[@jamesdanner7850]

I know. Just not what I hoped. Leaking air line hissing. Too far from mic input. You know. The little things. Thanks for the support

[@AGuysGarage]

ohhh i c, the video thing. ya man hang in, u will get it nailed down. love your videos anyways. =P

[@lonnygraham54]

I was hoping everyone would still be smiling about Paul's pic and glaze over the rest. Ha

[@fabiantechnician2797]

What type of camera would you recommend for doing recording? really like your work thanks for the vids

[@FSchimidtBR]

Hi James! Thanks for the video! I have replaced fuel injectors of my Fusion 3.0L V6 twice, and both times the pressure regulator of the fuel pump throttle has failed, causing long starts when the engine is warm. Do you have any idea what could have happened to the pressure regulator to fail? Is there a secret trick to depressurizing the fuel line or re-pressurizing it before starting the engine?

[@eddiemartinez265]

Hey jim how you doing Hope this post finds you well and family also.

[@davidbryan2346]

So my 2010 Ford Fusion is throwing the same codes - P0301 and P0201. I have already replaced all the spark plugs, coils, and fuel injectors and the problem is still there. What should be my next check? I thought about replacing the wiring harness to the fuel injectors, but not sure if that’s the right step.

[@jacoblowe3839]

What is RTB? curious nooby with this exact problem with my car :)

[@rahnolson6881]

do like the coil swap idea

[@DennisFriedman]

Hi James Not trying to tell you what to do, and don't know the price of the injector, but with that kind of miles, would it not have been better to place all injectors ? Thank you Dennis

[@jamesdanner7850]

Yes probably, but sometimes a few hundred bucks is the difference between getting the job or not. Plus this guy didn't go for any repair til I actually proved it, so I did what I could. Thank you for participating

[@robertmedina6875]

You can do it!!! Stay positive!!

[@billrimmer5596]

Good one! Always love your vids. Especially when u tear something apart and use drag a hot wire to give us a pulse width modulated circuit. How cool is that. A quick question. On my 01 Caravan 3.3 the 8 volt ref measured at the PCM should also b 8 volts at cam and crank sensor. Correct? There is nothing between PCM and sensor to lower voltage to 5 volts is there?

[@jamesdanner7850]

+Bill Rimmer I believe u r correct. Should switch from 8 to zero

[@rhkips]

Hahaha, that picture of Paul... All I could think was "Someone must be trying to test a sensor circuit with a paper clip!" "Call me crazy for not replacing the o-rings." Yup. You're crazy! LOL Alternatively, I may have to call you "mister magic fingers," 'cause I've never once reused injector o-rings without problems....

[@jamesdanner7850]

I'm just the opposite. I usually screw up an injector or that plastic "top hat" piece at the tip ,trying to remove an older o ring. And since it's not on the liquid fuel end ,my rtv trick hasn't let me down

[@rhkips]

I have a 2010 Mercury Milan premier and I'm getting a misfire code and cylinder three I've change the spark plugs I change the coil pack for number three should I change the injector? Because I'm still getting the code

[@eleazarrodriguez6467]

congratulations for your boy

[@jamesdanner7850]

+Eleazar Rodriguez THANKS . 3 years for the process to play out

[@cristinastor]

I was wondering if you could help me out in diagnosting a intermitent issue. There is this 2009 Mercury Sable that keeps poping a P0204 injector code together with misfire on that cylinder and system lean code but only on a hot engine or after a restart. When the engine is cold it works fine but it starts running rough and popping the codes when it gets hot. I replaced the injector I clean the fuel rail because there were some deposits from the fuel which I thought it might clog the injector but replaced anyways since I had the whole thing out. It does the same thing. I checked the electrical connectors and they seem fine, no corrosion. I don't know what else to look at and I don't have a fancy scanner to get more info on what might go wrong after the engine gets hot. Any ideas? Thanks
