    Thank You for sharing your knowledge, Great Video. I hit the bell !!! I’m not a tech , mechanic, Etc . Was getting frustrated a year ago with a P0304 code . Spent way too much money , having my vehicle diagnosed . Decided to try to educate myself and find out what causing misfire . I believe in paying for a diagnostic tests , but when you find out wasn’t test driven , cleared codes , freeze frame data ETC $1200 bucks later engine light flashing after 2 drive cycles (Ford) ! Misfire gone for 8 months , fuel trims , MAF , EGR , Etc all working as they should again . I continue to learn as much as possible, my new hobby . Love when my husband, kids , ask me any question about their vehicles . Thanks for sharing a fantastic, informative, show ! Watched twice !!!! 😊 thanks from 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

    So the difference between the ignition and spark misfires here is that for ignition misfire the O2 signal goes lean because of the unburned air from the bad cylinder while for an injector misfire the O2 signal goes rich because the catalytic converter absorbs the Oxygen from the bad cylinder?

    No, the voltage went lower because lack of spark. If it was fuel-related the voltage would have gone higher.

    It seems to me he didn't rev the engine AFTER disconnecting the coil contrary to what he said earlier. The engine started sputtering after the coil was disconnected after which the signal went rich quickly.

    The one issue I see is that when connected to a vacuum line with a pulse sensor you’re seeing each cylinder pulling on the intake manifold but you’re not seeing anything to do with the exhaust valve. A pulse sensor doesn’t show true pressure it just reacts to the change in pressure and the voltage rebounds the opposite direction afterwards. Thats why you see the downward slope. The exhaust valve isn’t visible from the intake manifold as the intake valve is closed when the exhaust valve opens.

  • @electron-john
    @electron-john2 ай бұрын

    I have been able to find exhaust valve issues with the pulse transducer . due to valve overlap on engines, an issue with the exhaust valve will be prevelant on intake pulses. if you’d like I can try to share a scope pattern showing an issue when I return from traveling.

It does bidirectional testing and all systems scan. Live data has everything you can think of.

    The injector cleaning ideally should be followed up with the end result. Especially the 2 injectors that weren't atomizing the fuel. Will those injectors be restored to atomization? Will the PCM adjust the injector width to compensate for incomplete atomization for an individual injector? Can the O2 sensor scope pattern be triggered to watch the stft on a cylinder with a streaming injector? (non-atomizing iow)
