Ugly quick misfire 1998 Ford E350 5.4

[@NewLevelAuto]

This one had a shorted primary that cooked the ECM driver . Paul Danner did an outstanding job on this video of explaining . kzbin.info/www/bejne/r2XVZoKZfbNogsk

[@elcheapo5302]

Loss of communication caused by coils. I wouldn't have guessed. Thanks Keith!

[@wyattoneable]

The power of that scope to show such detail continues to amaze me. But it only works with the skill to use it. Thanks for the lessons and your right, Paul does a great job explaining this capture.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Pico with a touch screen! It's about time Keith! ;)

[@arthurfricchione8119]

Keith thanks for the video. Once again useful information. Learn a lot from just the way you troubleshoot and explain the data. Thanks again. ❤️️

[@LongIslandsHardcoreDetectorist]

Nicely done 👍🏼 great info and well explained. Thanks for sharing buddy. Enjoy the rest of your day!

[@ThePracticalMechanic]

Great video Keith. What can’t they all be 18436572.

[@baxrok2.]

Great example of unexpected events. Thanks!

[@tommymarkham4202]

Awesome video! I recently had a shorted primary wipe out a pcm on a 3.7L jeep. Funny you mention Paul's video, that's exactly who I learned to look for that from. Keep the video's coming!

[@billyyoder8171]

Thank you Keith. Good job. Have a blessed and safe week.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

That's pretty cool. Nobody has ever seen electricity ... until the Pico scope was unleashed. 👍

[@richardcranium5839]

you are having too much fun with that horn lol makes sense i guess the voltage spike messin with the data line. especially if there is little protecton on the circuitry

[@NewLevelAuto]

Hey it worked 🤣

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

I laughed out loud! Way too funny!

[@kirkabrahamson1148]

Awesome info Keith. Stuff to keep in the back of your mind.

Accomplished New level Auto My teacher Tutorial great video brilliant thank you very much for sharing what you know with us Take care and have a great Evening Accomplished New level Auto From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧

[@rrmech11]

That was excellent Keith Also loved the horn misfire PID Lol 👍👍Better than mode 6 misfire test 53

[@kellyspeppers]

Keith, very good advice. Thanks for the video.

[@JOHNPHUFNAGEL]

Thanks Keith, I learned something new!

[@jamesu]

Thanks Keith, I was thinking engine ground at first???

[@PaulysAuto]

Interesting how a shorted coil will knock out COMMS. Is that because the unused energy feeds back to the PCM on the control side of the primary and/or the power side feed on the secondary and just plays pinball or? The captures were awesome Keith, thanks for sharing this with us! Stay alive brother, you sound like you're exhausted, this damn heat makes um feel twice as difficult-no doubt!

[@NewLevelAuto]

That's exactly right!

[@fire7765]

Good job Keith

[@weldingjunkie]

Another Mic Drop at end lol great video thanks for sharing Keith.

[@lowridermig]

Oh man I felt better about my week when you said 1998. I've been in the nineties all week lol.

[@63256325N]

Thanks for the video.

[@pauldavis5075]

Been rusting since the 90's better check that tetanus booster. Coroner van quality...sweet ride. Thanks for the knowledge.

[@Corey497]

"it going to be something that's............." hahaha I love it

[@ivandrago2557]

Hello, why didn't you replace other coil with lower ramp, can't see the difference between them ( coil number 2 and 8)

[@s.t.mobilediagnosticsprogr5633]

Great video!

[@NewLevelAuto]

Contact me through FB please

[@JoesAutoElectric]

Nice!!!!!!

[@Autofixpals]

So if all 3 coil strikes are not even that is a sign of a bad coil? This is what i am seeing on the 2012 transit connect that keeps stalling that i asked about a week or so back... First spike is high second and 3rd spike is low on 3 out of the 4 coils.

[@Autofixpals]

nevermind. watched it again. Awesome video.

[@michaelovers688]

That horn is driving my pit bull nuts she thinks your on the driveway lol

[@NewLevelAuto]

😂👍... sorry puppy!

[@richardcranium5839]

may need the dreaded spark plugs too

[@NewLevelAuto]

Not the 3v engine , so easy peasy here

[@dtnel]

@@NewLevelAuto I was wondering the same on thy spark plugs, wires as we're starting to see the quick diagnosis routes anymore and I at times feel on some they could be skipping over some things. Quick example last fall. 2000 Honda Odyssey, 3 coils misfiring. Replaced all plugs and only 1 coil was acting up. Chalk that to lack of maintenance on the owners part. After that he wound up needing a engine from running it out of oil and then getting the oil changed and thinking that solved his really weak oil pump issue after the fact of the oil change. This was a separate deal from the coils. I guess in Africa (Sudan) they don't believe in changing oil on cars and feel they can go forever as this guy must've felt??? He did the same thing to a car I sold him but I kept blowing his phone up daily so he'd get the oil changed and he finally did then ran it out of coolant and seized up the replaced 3yr ago water pump / timing belt kit on a 98 Toyota Camry. Wondered why I wanted $450 for parts including new radiator as it started leaking and he never noticed but I had and I'd actually told him to get it replaced 3 months prior to pump / belt going out. He had it towed away and went somewhere else to get it fixed as he was mad that I wouldn't front the parts as I was fronting the labor and willing to take payment on the labor.

[@jamespn]

Looks like vans are your bread and butter. When they’re not in service, small businesses lose money.

[@Jpilgrim30]

Snap ons new misfire alerting feature in action lol

[@garryr]

Wait. That is why my Modus ultra and my coworkers solus edge keeps losing com on fords during cylinder contribution test? It's not a snapon issue? So I really should spend the money (which is alot when converted to CDN with shipping) on the pico?

[@betogarzzz6392]

All u have to do is cycle the key on off and back out of the screen back to the tests menu.. my snap on scanner does that with Fords too so I guess it’s a ford issue

[@mansouralblooshi3004]

Is it recommended to change the pcm/ecm when we have a shorted primary? Or just change the bad coil(s) n wait for results?

[@NewLevelAuto]

If amperage goes too high I would recommend a pcm . If the amperage only shoots up to the average amperage of all other coils I would only replace the coil 👍

[@willefixit]

thanks for info!

[@billyr9840]

Nice !

[@dtnel]

What are you using for the scope tool? Laptop, other brand scope, ?

[@NewLevelAuto]

That's a pico scope 4425 running on the Farsight tablet

[@dtnel]

@@NewLevelAuto oh the farsight tablet. I don't even want to ask what one of those run. I just use a laptop or the Zeus but Snap-On so underpowered the Zeus as they do their tools on the processor side that it Hamstrings the built in scope. It's just a matter of them spending anywhere from $50-$200 more hardware wise and the customer gets a whole lot better experience. MY Bosch, we'll just say if it had Picoscope plugins and a windows OS that would be my go to and I'd sell the Zeus off. Zeus has it's purposes but it's Hamstringing anymore and Snap-On just don't get it. Heck they could offer a board upgrade to something like the i-7 made just for their tool for a couple hundred and I'd do it because of the speed the i-7 brings to the table vs the smaller atom processors you see on scan tools and other cheap laptops. IF I didn't have the contract I'd see what they'd give for trade for the farsight but they probably wouldn't want it either...

[@jddiesel7409]

Blah, a Ford 5.4 and its in a van. You're a better man than me.

[@sonofmontezuma3732]

Wait ,what is this ? FARSIGHT? New tool ? The 🤔

[@NewLevelAuto]

I've had it for quite sometime now bud lol

[@liviu2004]

Z18xe engines on saab and opel, all aftermarket coils missed ballast resistor, same did opel in the beginning but corrected afterwards and they ‘’forgot’’ to tell the aftermarkey industry. P1600 and P1606 they all want to change the ecu, for nothing at the end, car owners crap out for 40€ more on genuine coil and spend 300€+ on ecus for nothing. STUPIDity in its best!

[@liviu2004]

Common problem on Opel engine z16xep 14 faultcodes generated on coil failure, they swap ecu and cims like crazy out there, cars moving from garage to garage and they all fail to see that smoking coil pack. Stupid!

[@liviu2004]

Aaand the phone dies.

[@NewLevelAuto]

Did it cut off ?! 😮

[@liviu2004]

New Level Auto yep, with: it’s going to be something that’s .... No worries, we got the picture.

[@NewLevelAuto]

@@liviu2004 I can't believe it . I just saw it now . It cut about 4 minutes of explanation out too 😑

[@Raylude5]

Or did something in phone short causing a no-comm🤔🤔

[@throttlebottle5906]

it seems to be a ford thing =p

[@betogarzzz6392]

Cycle the key on and off and you’ll have com again u dummy..mine does that too with fords 🤦‍♂️
