Hello Ivan. I am a small construction business owner in Pittsburgh. I am drawn to the auto repair videos for one necessity and two it is so interesting. I looked at your website and read your amazing story. I really wish i new a mechanic around here that would go to the level you do to find problems. Thank you for sharing your experience with us. Best wishes to pine hollow diagnostics.

Watching these videos is painful sometimes because I want to help guide you in the right direction! Lol. I spent almost the entire video telling my TV to check the coils/plugs. This is a textbook secondary ignition fault. My guess is the spark is arcing to the head/spark plug tube on one of the cylinders. High load/low RPM misfires (at low/hot idle with a lot of electrical loads on in gear with a small engine makes for pretty high load) is the best way to check because it puts a high demand on the ignition system. Rolling slowly into the throttle at low RPM (on an auto, its usually best to try to get it up to speed, maybe 40mph, where its in top gear with the TCC locked) will also usually cause a miss with a secondary ignition fault. If you get that intermittent miss under those conditions, its almost always secondary igntion. It can be hard to determine which cylinder sometimes, especially if the car doesn't have good misfire monitoring, but if you pull the coils/wires out one by one, connect a spark tester or extension lead then go over the wire/coil with a test light under the same conditions that it was misfiring, you'll usually find it arcing. I'll have to check part 2 to see if I'm right, but I'd be shocked if it is something else.

Hi. I've paid multiple mechanics to fix my current problem with my 03 Mazda Protege 5. The AT light flashes and the transmission guy said the transmission was fine. Another person thinks it's a computer in the transmission. Have you had that issue? No one knows how to fix this. When the AT light flashes I can't go forward because the car won't move.

Hi Ivan ...one out of left field for you to check...inspect the moulded inlet tube for cracking in the valleys. Misfire worsens on a road test when you hit the gas( from stationary) and the engine twists on the mounts and opens up any splits in the tube. The MAF can't measure the airflow accurately due to the downstream air leak so the ECM is going to under fuel as a result(may also account for high KV's when idling rough?). Also try disconnecting the MAF and removing it from the equation. I've never had experience with the Protégé so not sure what back up strategy is used. Just a thought bubble. Good luck and looking forward to the fix!.

Had the same problem 2001 protege 2.0L. Did however get miss fire codes P0302 and P0303. You would think that it was the coil pack with those codes together. Problem turned out to be bad plug wire on cyl. 3. Arcing signs at the junction of the little boot on the bottom that can be removed and the rubber shaft of the wire. Not sure why it effected cyl. 2. Must have weakened the spark there as well since it a wasted spark system. Nice snap on scope. Spark amplitude and duration easily diagnosed.

nice Ivan thanks for sharing your knowledge, on 27:35 there was a clue I got some training on secondary ignition which is hard the interpretation still for me , but when the spark line line goes high it is proving the coil i capable of produce high kv, the other part is the one make me think about spark plug or wire , on good wire or plug the spark line should start jumping in less than 3 kv but when you see there it goes to about 9 kvs that is most likely going to be out side the cylinder and will be electrical that is what I learn and I have seen it of course there is always some thing on this field out normal .

Ivan I noticed the check engine light blinking when you get after it till it catches up. Usually that indicates the computer shutting off an injector b/c it sees a misfire. I would look toward the ignition coil. or spark plug. Just like in days gone by we used to put the car in the highest gear possible to load the engine and accelerate hard, if you have a bad plug or wire it will show. Thanks for the vid, look forward to seeing the answer. g

Maybe Some high resistance plug or wire, leaking spark at load??? Had a Chevy S-10 blazer 2.8l that had a reman engine installed less than a year earlier. Put all new parts and such, on it at that time. Started blowing the ecm fuse randomly. Left me stuck twice, before I figured it out. Even had it towed home, once. Did a bunch of looking, and checking during th daylight, but could never find anything. Waited till dark, had the ex put it in gear, and hold the brakes, then start putting a load on it, til I saw what was happening. Spark jumped out of a plug wire, at the boot on the distributor cap. The spark jumped an inch and a half to a rubber vacuum line attached to the firewall above it. It ran 18 inches along that vacuum line, and jumped another 1 1/2 inches to the brake booster!! Created one heck of a light show under the hood, when it did it!! Never figured out what was up, I just put a new set of plugs and wires on it, and fixed the problem. The plug looked like all the others. And no visible hole in the wire, where it was jumping out. Didn't know how to test those things, back then. But the power sure was looking hard, for a path to ground, to jump over an inch out of the wire, travel 18 inches down a rubber vacuum line, and jump another inch to the brake booster!! Either the plug, or the wire had some HIGH RESISTANCE!!

Good case study at this point all that is left is the injectors i did not remember if you had checked the fuel pressure . I would move on to injector balance testing all so amp scope injectors and look for any bad patterns . A vacuum gauge is a quick way to check engine mechanical in the real world where time is money best of luck .

This engine has 2 coils for 4 spark plugs with 2 spark plug wires, it is possible that one coil controlling 2 plugs is failing. A test I like to do in a case like this is spray carb clean to a vacuum port during the misfire to see if the misfire stays or not. Odd thing is the fuel trims are great.
@johngonzales4631
@johngonzales4631 9 жыл бұрын
The clue seems to be the high ignition secondary voltage only at idle. Fuel trim values were normal at the start of the test but I am not sure it they remain normal as the problem got worse. I will suggest to use propane gas at idle and look if the secondary voltage drop to normal values to eliminate any lean mixture issues.

This was a interesting case. When i'm looking at the spark line at 26:46 . And there is a couple of things that can cause the high resistance. I was thinking a mixture problem first. But then recalled your earlier test, 19:40 the in cylinder pressure test, and the spark waveform, you used a spark tester. A healthy coil should easy jump the gap outside of the cylinder. But you got an similar high spike and spark line. indicating the spark can't jump the gap. Should be seen on the spark tester. So I suspect the coil is affecting cyl1 and 4. But still many variables, tests like a spark comparison on the other coil. and current test could be more tests to do. I'm looking forward to see is my theory holds in the next part, since i can be really off on my guess. :) Cheers.

I've been having VERY inconsistent acceleration throughout the RPM. Mostly felt on lower RPM, it just hesitates so much especially when warmed up. Past 3000RPM it is just okay. It misfires A LOT upon a cold start too! The more it misfires upon a cold start on that day, the shittier the car would perform on that day. On a good day, it just pulls like crazy as if nothing ever happened but it would only last a while before it starts acting up again. Car stalls probably 1/5 times at a long stop light. NO codes. In where I live (Malaysia), it is hard to find a trustworthy workshop that has tools to diagnose faulty ignition coils, but I'm willing to bet that it is bad ignition coils. Fuel trims, MAF, IAT, O2 sensors all read fine. Going to change ignition coils and spark plugs tomorrow. Really hoping that it is just old and worn out coils.

I'd have gone a bit more basic at the start myself, vacuum leak checking with a can of brake clean; but I'm maintaining my amateur status to go to the Olympics. That idle spark spike is a clue, I'd probably run my scope on a rope along the ignition wires next myself, then physically look at the plugs. Then go from there. Afraid I can't afford the higher end diag toys as it's not my profession. ;) Just fixed a friend's no-start nissan issue recently that was similar though. Fix was replacing the spark plugs. As they were never changed the gap increased to the point the coil weakened suddenly to the point it wouldn't start anymore. The coil should also be replaced in it, but it's her old rusted beater.. It's a replace when totally dead deal, as it's integrated in the dizzy.

Hey nice video. I really liked your homemade cylinder pressure transducer, that thing really showed a great waveform. Looks like it showed intake, compression, power, and exhaust, that is pretty cool. Much more info than just a regular compression gauge. Do you have a video, showing how you made it, if so let me know I would like to see that. The ignition waveform to me looked like your firing line kv was high, but to me the spark duration was just not looking normal to me. I will admit I am not very good at analyzing ignition waveforms, but it looks like to me, after the firing line spike occurs the spark duration is starting way way to high around 8kv instead of a normal spark duration that should happen much closer to 2kv. Right after the firing line spike happens the wave form kinda starts a downward curve from around 8kv, instead of coming back down to around 2kv and then having a flatter looking spark duration. Looking at that waveform makes me think of bad plug wires (probably high resistance) or perhaps maybe bad plugs. It does not look like an open circuit waveform, but just a high resistance one to me. However I could be way off, as I said I am not the best at ignition waveforms, but that is my thoughts on it. Hey thanks for the good video, thumbs up from me. Have a good day.

After thinking about it more I retract my suggestion. It would have a long crank time if it was low fuel pressure. It is definitely possible to have low fuel pressure under load at high rpms and speed. It happened to me but I had long crank time too. If you still want to do the test anyway then you'll need to connect an in-line schrader valve. I don't think the Protege has a built-in schrader valve. Some FS engines do have them though like Ford Probes, if it's there it will be on the fuel rail plain as day.

Usually "Baro" = barometer = current atmospheric pressure. This is taken either by a dedicated sensor, or by the MAP with the engine off or WOT. At sea level Baro should be about 30inHg. As for engine manifold absolute pressure (MAP) it is, reported real-time by the MAP sensor and should read about 10inHg at idle. From this you can calculate manifold Vacuum: [VACUUM = BARO - MAP], so Vac = 30inHg - 10inHg = 20inHg at sea level. Hope that helps!

EGR valve stuck open adding exhaust, at idle much more profound and bad performance but not as profound at the higher level when it's moving. What did the plug that you removed look like, did I miss it?

Just clicked on the video, hoping I get some good insight. My Mazda just sounds very bad. Too loud, good thing is that it never stalls out. Just sounds bad.

5 to 10deg at idle is the rule of thumb; modern direct injected engines may be a bit more advanced :)
