    Informative but music on video is very distracting and makes the narrative hard to hear. Otherwise great job!

      Agreed very hard to hear the information. No music would have been fine

  • @pallew6898
    @pallew6898 3 роки тому +5

    Much easier to just measure resistance between the pins on the suspected faulty coil and compare the numbers with a coil that you know is good.

    I thought you did very well on this video. The video was precise and very clear. Unlike yours, most video's out there are too dark and its like they never proof view it to make sure its viewable. You got the point out on checking the "ignition coil pack". Would have been nice to check the spark plugs in this vid BUT then again, this is about checking ignition coil packs and not spark plugs.Overall...good job!RP2u 11/01/2018

      Spends 2/3 of a comment talking about how this guy usually sux and then tells him what he did wrong in this video and throws in a well done in last sentence... FUCK OFF!! It's a free video on a free app. Don't like it then make a better one!!

    Step 12 - Gently close the bonnet, open any door and load fertilizer in a large sealed container with appropriate wiring and switching, stand behind corner of brick wall and initiate power to said wires for an explosives' final solution to problem.

    Step 21 You must use the test screwdriver and move it around the coil to check for side leakage of the coil.... Thanks

    I have 10 plus dc volts on 1, 3, 4. When the key is in the "on" position. I did not test 5 or 6. Only 2 had 0 volts . all 4 cylinders had 11 plus when cranking. Any thouhjts why I would have voltage?

    Another way to ttest ignition coil is to test the resistance on it. Eazy way and safe way.

    • @robertschneider1977
      @robertschneider1977 3 роки тому +1

      Also the way to find a weak coil. When it's only misfiring under load.

  • @encinobalboa
    @encinobalboa 2 роки тому +1

    Missed a step. Remove rubber boot and inspect and clean slinky to coil contact. Corrosion and moisture can cause intermittent misfire.

    When you crank the engine

  • @Hate2Loveme1991
    @Hate2Loveme1991 3 роки тому +1

    Great and informative video but I have a question. What's different about the second half of this approach as compared to just using a known good spark plug in the coil, grounding it on the block and cranking the enging to search for spark? Honestly asking. Thanks!

    Already I already put some new spark plugs.
    Code :
    Random/Multiple Cylindre Misfire Detected
    P0300 - 008 - Implausible Signal - Intermittent
    p0302 - 008
    It is not dripping coolant by the spark plugs, I mean they are dry (As it should be)

      Yes, the spark needs to be blue to ensure all the fuel is being burnt

    My car is Sonata 2009, American import, engine 24. It has a malfunction. When the rpm reaches 1500 revolutions, the engine shakes, whether it is moving or standing, and results in a weak engine torque.. I went to the technician more than once and he connected it to a fault detector, but to no avail without any result. .. so what is the solution?
