I just want to point out today I encountered a tricky problem. So I have a car with V6 engine that has multiple misfire just after having replaced new plugs, new spark plugs. I found out cylinder number six has problems by using the risky unplugging method, and I swapped that coil with number five cylinder, and did the unplug test on those two cylinders, now the number five cylinder has no change, so now I know the plug that was on cylinder number six which is now on cylinder number five is bad. And weird thing happens as I use spark tester tool, when I check just the bad ignition coil itself, the tester actually flashes! However when I include the spark plug in the tester it won’t, on either number five or six cylinder, so the spark plugs are not at fault on these two cylinders. My understanding is this bad ignition coil is just weak, that it can pass the spark test by itself, but it won’t function under normal operating conditions. Gotta say the ignition system is always tricky! Hope my experience helps!
@@BuddysDIY well its fact ... I see dozens of comments and questions left open that you never replied to and only 1 reply to this comment. Take a look for yourself
@@ACommenterOnRU-vid I have well over 15,000 comments I haven't replied to. I've also replied to thousands. You got too much time on your hands to be worried about me
Will the test work if the car doesn't start? Good video but I believe you should do the same test on a non starting car, that's the main reason someone would won't this kit
Very informative and appreciate the link definitely going to be adding this for diagnostics currently dealing with a possible bad connector on a new harness or a bad new sensor
It seems to me that the last test is not capable of testing the spark plug as all your seeing is the coil pack firing and not the spark plug electrode firing or how it is firing.
It’s a lot harder for the spark to jump through a spark plug due to the compressed gasses in the cylinder acting as a powerful insulator. If plug voltage is too low, you won’t get a spark and the light won’t illuminate. This can indicate a bad coil.
@@fahedmahases723 you must use the scope to do that. in this case I can try connecting my oscilloscope clamp directly on the wire between the coil and the spark plug to capture the waveform of the secondary circuit. Greetings 👋🏻
there are 3/4 wires in the harness connector. which 2 be connected with noid light and how to identify them????? you are silent on it. will you clarify it????
Excellent video and kit! Needed this and also was looking for a reliable kit..thank u but I have a question 🤔u said u had a code for that side but all your tests came out good with the light showing.So what was the problem to your solution?
Hi, I have a problem with my Mini Cooper s r56 not start. The mini was on taking it out of the garage when it suddenly turned off. The first Scanner have these codes: 2781 2775 2D52 *2DCA* 275F 272F I changed 4 spark plugs, 4 coils, the Camshaft Position Sensor and a new battery. But it did not turn on, now it is giving these codes: 005E31 009314 *00A0B4* 00932D 009CB5 I deleted them and it only gives me this code: ( A0B4 ) The mini starter good but not start. I try the new battery and it says it's ok, but when I test the battery with the terminals mounted on the Mini Cooper it says it's bad I don’t now why. I also reset the new battery in the mini system with the scanner but nothing. ( A0B4 )
What’s the name of that test kit I would definitely like to have one of those I’d like a little tool that you use to test the wiring before you test the coils and plugs
No it wont light because the spark plug completes the path and if that plug is bad and does not complete the path for that current flow, the light wont come on.
Hey buddy! Was wondering if you can help me out. I was testing it just as you were in the video and as I got to the 3rd n 4th spark plugs n coil pack my engine was sounding funny then after didn't want to turn on. I cant get it to start now help?
No unfortunately I gave up on it for the day going to try again tomorrow.. I did exactly like your video. it clicks like if the battery a dead but I give it a jump and nothing.
That's why you just got my subscription you get straight to the point I will turn you on too many of my friends and I'm going to put you on my Instagram and Facebook
