This is the best all inclusive video I have seen on misfires. We'll articulated and easy to understand. I'm dealing with a reoccurring misfire on an older 5 cylinder Hummer. Wish I had seen this video 2 months ago. It's taken me 2 months to learn and be acquainted with pretty every possibility you demonstrated here. 👍

@Brian-vh7gb Жыл бұрын

So great to have you back making videos! You're already making a difference. Just yesterday I was test driving a 2008 Lincoln town car with 4.6L V8 and the car was shaking and had low power. It got progressively worse during the 15 min test drive. Check engine light came on solid at first and then started flashing after about 5 minutes. We had to drive another 7-6 more minutes to get it back to owner's place. Owner ran a scanner and came up a bunch of codes: P0305 misfire cylinder 5; B1990 Pedal Forward / Rearward Potentiometer circuit fault; B1676 Battery voltage out of range; B1318 Low battery voltage at module. So first thought it was only a cylinder 5 misfire problem and maybe just addressing this would fix it the flashing check engine light. But luckily I came upon your video that point out there could be other potential causes. Could a single cylinder misfire cause a flashing check engine light or would it take more than that? Could just the cylinder 5 misfire also lead to all the low voltage codes that were also detected? You mentioned how low system voltage affecting multiple components can lead to misfires and in this car all these low voltage codes came up. With a flashing check engine light, how much engine or cat damage could occur if you drive the car like this for 7-10 minutes? Could just a few minutes driving with a flashing check engine light cause damage? Thanks again for all you do!

BENT COIL CONNECTOR PIN: I had an annoying and hard to trouble shoot P0300 code on my 6 cylinder 2003 GMC Envoy XL. I had replaced the spark plugs and coils and the code and misfire would not go away. Why it did not trigger a P030x error, I don't know. Just passing this along as something simple for others to check. Have a nice day!

Its usually bad coil packs. BOOM! Saved you 5 minutes.

Or how everythinf magically just ligns up in replacing motor mounts on a vehicle.

Great great video. My battery is starting to get weak and I don’t drive it very often so it makes matters worse. I suspected the battery as a cause for the misfire and crazy engine shaking since it occurred right after a cold start up twice in the past 40 days and only 200 miles of driving. The resting voltage of the battery is about 11.8 v. In the past I replaced the batteries before I had any issues . Will do more testing to confirm.

Thank you Eric. I took my 2006 Saturn Vue off the road four years ago and am finally getting around putting it back into service (long story). The last thing I need to do is buy and new battery for it but before I did I connected th Saturn to the battery in my Nissan (which I disconnected for the car). The Saturn started up and it ran, but then I noticed the CEL lit (not flashing) and the engine was running a bit rough. Plugged in my OBD CAN scanner and retrieved a P0300. I'm going to start with the simplest, least expensive and take it from there. I'm wondering if the four year old gasoline is a possible culprit or maybe the injectors are junked up from sitting for four years. Also, maybe the long jumper cables I used to run my Saturn through imposed a significant voltage drop. Guess I'll find out once I roll up my sleeves and start diagnosing.

One time I was in the freeway with traffic and I changed to the left lane bit there was a car coming quick so as soon as I changed it I accelerated very fast and as soon as I did the car literaly started to choke and the whole engine was vibrating very weirdly like shaking and choking and the flashing light came on but I couldent stop and I went to an O'Reilly 1 hour later after driving and I got p0174 and p0300 but after that I never got the shaking engine again but I do get the p0300 and p0174 especialy at cold starts the engine idles very rough and very weird but. When I drive it it's fine and it's a 03 gmc yukon xl 6.0 by the way and it's driving me crazy that very rough idle to the point it wants to choke and shut off so I gotta warm it up and drive away

2011 Chevy Cruze Turbo (Keep in mind neighbor has messed with golf cart twice and removed the cables because he tried bullying me and I didn't let him) out of nowhere my car started overheating and the cable either was cut or melted. How all the sudden does all the fluid poor out? I took it to the auto repair shop and they replaced the hose for the antifreeze and said it was way too low and leaking out of the hose. They said the transmission was bad and it will hesitate forward and reverse for two seconds before going into gear.

@mpasaa Жыл бұрын

Great info. Quick question....can a cracked engine block or something major like this also cause this misfiring? The reason I ask is that I just had to get a Jeep Patriot engine replaced after 160K miles as the shop (reputable and I think honest) tested all of those other things and the Jeep engine simply wouldn't run. Since getting the engine replaced I've had no issues and I don't believe they replaced any of the existing electronics or vacuum lines, etc.. They did replace spark plugs in this used engine just to start clean although the coil packs were probably from original engine. One thing I did just replace the other day was my battery which suddenly died although it was almost 5 years old and the past couple days were the first cold ones since last winter. In your video you did mention voltage could also impact these electronics and their operation but I think the previous battery was tested a few months ago and was still holding a charge and I was using it until the other day with this replaced engine so it had to be working fine with the replaced engine. That P0300 code is annoying...as an I.T. person I equate this to the Windows operating system general protection fault from the old window's days which meant.....good luck finding the cause :-)

We had a medical emergency and had to drive about 500 miles with a Flashing Check Engine Light caused by a failed Igition Coil on a 2019 Ford E450 RV with the 6.8 V10 with 20K miles on it. A Ford dealer replaced the igition coil under warranty, said everything else is OK. RV runs fine. What happened to all the unburnt fuel that went into that cylinder? Did blow out though the exhaust, blow by the rings? The oil had less that 1000 miles it at the time, still looks good on the dip stick. Thinking on changing it anyway before the next trip. No other error codes now. Any thoughs appreciated.

After a rat chewed on my coil wire which was shorting on a metal tube ( ground ) when I go to live data it only gives info on 4 cylinders. It is a 6 cylinder. In the past my scanner gave info on all 6 cylinders. A standard coil puts out 20k - 30k positive voltage. With that much voltage going to ground I think it has caused a problem inside the ECM. What do you think? I don't see any other damage to my wiring.

Hi Eric. Thanks for your videos. I have a problem I am hoping you can shed some light on. I had engine misfire and replaced all. the coils and spark plugs. The misfire went away. Also have a new fuel filter. Six months later, I am experiencing a random misfire. Sometimes the car runs perfectly, and all of the sudden it misfires for a few seconds and the "Service engine light soon" flashes on and off during the misfire. No check engine light. Then it goes back to running ok. I have poured motor treatment liquids to see if cleaned injectors and the such. Once it misfires, I can detect a P0300 code and troubleshooting this has been difficult. I do not get more specific codes. 2003 GMC Envoy XL 4.2L 6 Cyl. Any thoughts?
