+Hector Garcia-Martinez, I cannot reply to your comment for some reason, but you can check your spark plugs visually. I will make a video on this but for now, look at the ceramic and make sure it isnt cracked, look at the tip of the plug and make sure it is gapped right, and look to make sure there arent too many carbon deposits on it. It sounds like you got platinum plugs which last 100k miles so dont worry. I had plugs from the factory in my van for 200k miles before they were changed and she ran fine. You will experience a rough idle, hesitation, etc when your plugs are starting to go.

Hey Chris, Let me tell you a story lol My engine purs. Happy little 1.6 petrol. Got my timing belt changed and it suddenly idles like a bag of crap. There's a tick coming from the carb. The engine makes light pops, sometimes the whole car shakes. The rpm bounces around 800-900 on this ~1 second rhythm. During this time, I noticed when I change gear the rpm lingers a second before it drops. I took one lead out at a time to see if the idle changed at all, no such luck. Rest of the rpm range is pretty smooth, car feels roughly as powerful as it was. So I drive it for a few days when it starts idling at 2,000 rpm. The exhaust gases are way hot, temp is above normal. Possible hint of petrol on the exhaust too, hard to tell. Sometimes, I can use the clutch, slow it down and it stays down, sometimes only letting it go cold stops it. Now, I'm of the impression this guy screwed up the timing belt. He tells me it's the leads and the injectors. Any thoughts?

Also, in the water spray test, you showed the sparking but u never went back and identified what was causing it? Prolly a plug wire but u never went back during the day to the exact spot u saw sparking at night and said this is where I saw the sparking, this area, and here’s what was causing it??

Great video. Another subscriber here now! I never thought of the mist test. I had an intermittent miss that wouldn't throw a code since it wasn't exceeding the threshold for the number of misses the ECU needs to rigger that code. I changed the rear coil pack due to the connector on the coil being loose but still functional. The miss went away. The coil was working fine but I did reroute/move ALL of the wires to do this. I bet I have a insulation breakdown somewhere and I've already bought new Motorcraft wires and plugs anyway so I figure 21 years (98' ranger) and 243K miles on the original wires isn't bad. OEM stuff really lasts! I have no idea how long the plugs have been in so they need to go anyway. Bet it runs like a new engine! Thanks for your time making these vids. They are helpful for the DIY'er.

One thing to note, I have a new Fluke 323 tester and bought a new set of spark plug wires after my meter was showing an open line on the coil to distributor wire. I checked the new wire and got the same open line reading. I went to the specs on my meter to find out it only reads to 4000 ohms so it is completely useless for checking spark plug wires. The cheap multi-meter I had before that broke had a much higher resistance reading capability before it broke of course. I thought I was doing good by going with a quality brand tool, I just can't win.

Hello Chris. Thanks for the videos man, you always make them full of helpful info and simple explained. I have erratic idle and that's "killing" me. It's interesting you pointing out about the high pitch radio noise. Its like 1 year that I hear that noise from time to time and I have thought it might come from some air conditioning tubes or valves. Sometimes I hear the noise even if my sound system is off. Does this noise definitely indicate that the coil wires are to be replaced?
@jaysilverheals44453 жыл бұрын
a tried and true method ive used for decades if you have a miss is if you are afraid of getting zapped put on a leather glove and pull off each wire from the distributor to see if there is a bad wire/plug. if you pull it off if its bad it will not make a change and a consistent miss on a cylinder. now swap over a wire and see if it comes to life. if it does not- change the one plug. if it comes to life replace the plug or all of them. checking ohms on wires does not mean much since the resistance varies greatly even on different brands. unless you spot a wire that is WAY different than the others. many types of wires have very high resistance so the voltage has to build up to give a hotter spark--same as resistance spark plugs. if you have truly wild random misses also take off cap and check for moisture or conductive dust. but wires is always a top suspicion and they can and will be bad out of the box--ive had it happen and got my money back and put on odd brand and problem was gone. In the southwest the dust has iron and other stuff in it and is VERY conductive. if you find bad wire or plug should you replace them all? NO--not unless you are rich and you know they are old or if they LOOK old. remember the other plugs and wires are CONFIRMED good. that being said if they look old and car has issues by all means replace all plugs and wires as a start such as after buying used car.
@jaysilverheals44453 жыл бұрын
if you pull off wire from distibutor and spark is long as you increase the distance? and the cylinder comes to life? plug and wire are both suspicious but will be one or both. that is because the very high voltage is now firing the cylinder.

I hope you still read comments on old videos, but I haven't tried the mist test yet as I don't have the spray. I will try to go and get one but if you could help me now that would be nice, as the mechanic has said nothing is wrong (not tune up?). Basically I drive a manual transmission car that I got second hand. After a month or so from the beginning of this year, it started having problems where it would stall randomly even though either I was driving or had the clutch pressed in fully. Although this problem was small, it has since gotten worse (i.e. stalled 5 times within 5 mins in a carpark, and shook violently whilst in third gear). My mechanic didn't bother to find out what it is, but when he drove it he said it was fine. However, it is an on and off thing, where it just randomly starts acting up then its fine after a while. I've tried turning AC off (makes it better) and let it warm up for 10 mins or so but it still happens. It would be greatly appreciated if you could help as nothing I've found on the internet has helped so far. Thank you!

Moving the spark plug lead at around 4:40, and checking the resistance, is not really a good test. If your test leads loose contact to the metal for a just sec, you can get an infinite reading (the lonely 1 as fist digit). For this test to work properly, you have to fix your test leads with clamps, and make absolutely sure that contact with the metal is not broken, when moving the lead around. Otherwise, good solid advice.

I'm going to check my wires using your methods, but is there a general rule as far as mileage goes as to when you should replace them? Answers to that are all over the map online. I have a '97 Toyota 4Runner with the 3.4 liter that I just put head gaskets on and it seems to be running slightly sluggishly since the rebuild. Of course, I parked it and waited two years to repair it after one blew, so for all I know it runs no different than before! Gotten used to the new car maybe. I put fuel stabilizer in when I parked it and have now run several fresh tanks through it and replaced the fuel filter, as well, which seemed to help slightly. New plugs were installed right before the head gasket going. Thanks in advance!

I have a 1994 GMC 5.7L, the old wires had about 4500 ohms per ft (one was broke and bad) . The new wires ( all 8) had about 1500 ohms per ft. Good right?! Wrong, the new wires have only 7 mm diameter which lead to arcing at cylinder #2 right thru the new wire! ( I found the arcing like Chris Fix suggested in the dark). I had to install one of the old wires to get it to run correctly and not miss. What is also critical, is to get at least the same diameter of insulation (in my case at least 7.5 mm).

First off, love all your videos. They have really motivated me to keep up with the maintenance on my truck and get as much life out of it as possible. My question is I have just tested my coil pack and my primary resistance is 3.4 (spec range is .3 - 1.0 ohm) and secondary is 13.3k (spec range is 6.5k - 11k ohms) I have read all over that it should be close to this range, but I'm not sure if this is still acceptable. Should I just replace for good measure? My only concern is the primary resistance being over 3x the resistance it should be.

I have a 1996 Ford Explorer I changed the wires but I hear no clicking noise when attaching them to the plug. I have a set of Duralast 4144.
