Good point but if that's the case the ecu already has a fried driver for number 6 cylinder so it's getting repaired or replaced anyway. Just my opinion.
Auto Tec just to clarify if you play swap trolnics and the ecu is not fried and it’s a bad coil that didn’t fry it then you swap it then it fried if that makes sense, that’s more of what I meant
@@robhughes8516 not with smart coils it happens quite a bit or issue rectified itself my moving stuff. You must not be a tech obviously. This is what part changers do btw.
Yep. Wide spark plug gaps will increase the required secondary voltage which can blow through the insulation to get to the ground. I was in the Honda biz for a long time and this was a common problem. The models with distributors were bad about wide plug gaps causing high required voltages to blow through the ignition rotor button to the distributor shaft.
Hmmm. Never knew this engine's cylinder numbering deviated from the usual V6 numbering where cylinder 1 is the first on the passenger side. This also looks like that on the mid 2000's Jeep Liberty.
I've never watched any of your videos before. The introduction where your and your family members vehicles all need work does not bode well for you. I'm going to watch this video and based on itI may or may not be back.
Larry Ehrlich - the guy is trying to make a living and raise a family with small children. He’s probably broke and drives older cars. Lord knows I do to... sometimes they have issues. Cut him some slack... it doesn’t mean he’s a slacker or a inept tech.
This is by far the best video about mechanics I've ever come across this guy is blessed naturally with knowledge of mechanics for sure and the presentation it took what 8 minutes for him to get his point across loved it subscribed wish she was in my life it's nice to have a mechanic like that in your life
Scannerdanner has shown a few of these, and he surprised me with a comment that I didn't expect from him. Paul made the remark that one should routinely replace the plug and wires, in case the bad coil/boot happened as a consequence of extra heat (and spiking voltage) from a partial open in the downstream secondary. He's not normally a guy who advocates replacing normal parts, Paul made a name for himself by calling out the parts changers of the world. I guess it comes down to an inability to reliably detect a defect in the secondary that might have caused the coil to fail. What do you think?
I love your channel they are not much of us diagnosticians, in the shops I'm working for myself now because in every shop I have been to they are always other mechanics there that are jealous and take your skills as a threat and always want to make you look bad or that you don't know what you are doing since I work for myself I haven't had any problems diagnosing customers vehicles and they all come back
Years a go when I was dating my now wife she stopped by because her car was barely running. Two of the coil on plugs were cracked and burnt. Wrapped them with the thick rubber insulating tape then electric tape. Two years latter she was using my garage to do a tune up when I noticed she never replaced them. The tape still worked.
great video my son is going to need some help on his it is showing the same miss, thanks this will help us get it done, And what a cute Daughter you have!!
Not very reliable. My engine spun a rod bearing shortly after making that video. I still have the truck. It’s been sitting in my driveway for the past 2 years because I refuse to pay $1500 for a used engine. I am planning on rebuilding it myself in the near future.
Thank you, I been watching your posts. Truly help. I'm still having trouble with altima going into limp mode during to brake circuit. So if you have update on that one. It would be great. I did change brake switch and cruise control switch.
Check engine light popped up on my 09 nitro 3.7... Got a code p0302 misfire on #4 they switch out all my spark plugs charged me 200.00 sent me on my way...week later check engine light popped back up again. I don't know what is going on.
Eric, a good quick easy fix luckily as you seem to have a lot of running around to do. Beautiful daughter enjoy they grow up quick. Thanks for sharing. ❤️
Thanks very much about the Dodge Nitro very good advice you make it seem easy been having a lot of problem with my Dodge Nitro 2008 first head heating problems now throttle body tried to get it to connect an idol out right thanks for the input keep up the good work and helping people understand the Dodge Nitro you get two thumbs up
