  • This video shows some tips on what to check for when having a misfire code.
    -vacuum leak
    -O2 sensor
    - bad MAF
    -ignition wires
    -coils
    - plugs
    -injectors
    -compression
    But in this video I will be showing what I checked for before i found the issue ..

    Great video n instructions .. my car doin the same thing .. I have a 2006 Chevy HHR .. both cars have the same engine .. every time I give the car gas it hesitate n be shaking real bad .. I couldn't never figure out what it was because it never throwed the code to I took it to a mechanic shop that has the big computer to read the computer .. and bam it picked up the po300 code .. because I took it to AutoZone it wasn't showing up .. I took it to advance auto part it wasn't showing .. them obd code reader are grabage trash at those places. But thank God I took it to a mechanic shop n they put the big computer on it n the code came up to. No I just gotta go get it fix .. but one again great video bro .. u explained it well and great 💯

    Thanks for the informative vedio. Is it true that a bad ignition coil will affect either cylinder 1 and 4 spark plugs or cylinder 2 and 3 spark plugs. As to your example spark plug 1 and 4 were not sparking.

    Any advice on a U0073 code? Everything started when I had s misfire, changed my plugs, coil packs, and valve cover gasket. Ran great and then got the U0073 code. It’s a no communication bus a off code. Got a new battery, new tcm, checked all fuses, new ignition switch,new maf sensor, checked wiring and grounds on tcm and ecu. If I clear the code It will run great for 3 on/off cycles and then the code comes back on? When code is on it goes into safe/limp mode and you can’t drive it until you clear the code again. Any ideas on what my next step may be? I’m going crazy and broke trying to fix this! Maybe a sensor or solenoid? 2006 Chevy hhr

    Thank you for the film. Can you tell what grease goes inside of the ICM and possibly where do you apply it? In my coil compartment ( to the very right under the bigger connector) for the ICM there was a blob of some grease. Is it supposed to be there? And if so what grease is it? For the new ICM AC
    Delco gives a pack of grease to put on the female connectors, but where exactly? And nothing said to put into the coil compartment. Do you put any grease on the metallic plate of the module? My original Module is the same (2003 Chevrolet Cavalier, Eco Tec 2.2 engine). What is that yellowish crystallized stuff in the old coil pack? It is the same in mine.

    I have a 09 chevy malibu 2.3, it also has a misfire but it's very random, no code while the engines running but it will idle a little rough sometimes at a light and will jerk. After a little it'll go away, took it to a shop and they couldn't duplicate the problem. Started out by replacing the spark plugs. It accelerates and drives fine just at idle it has a slight misfire

      No codes while engine running huh?? 🤔
      Try cleaning the throttle body , make sure to disconnect battery before you remove and start disconnecting harness ...
      If you don’t disconnect battery you might have to do a relearn and it’s not really hard but just to save you time

    Hey how's it going?? I have a 2006 Chevy Cobalt and I'm having problems getting gas up to the top also when I press in the fuel valve nothing comes out have replaced fuel pump and spark plugs but still no luck can u help wit some tips on trouble shooting

    • @Jbolanos10
      @Jbolanos10  2 роки тому

      You replaced the fuel pump and there is still no gas comin up to the valve !?! Ok so the first thing I would do is check for a fuel pump fuse and relay .. if they ok I would check for voltage on the harness going to the fuel pump.. if you replaced the fuel pump and came with new harness most likely the polarity on the new pump changes so make sure thr you change the cables if it comes with the ones and see which one goes where

      jimmy hall there should be a 10 mm screw in front of the transmission ... not sure if it’s with the car running or off you take it off completely and check if it spills out then is full if it doesn’t is low.. to add there should be a big screw on top of transmission like size 19mm you add from there..

      Rudy Paul if you already replaced the plugs,coils, fuel pump .. why was the fuel pump replaced??? Is any of the coil not firing up?? Do you have a catalyc code???? Clean your Maf and IAC sensor if problem still persist a cam/crank sensor could be related to... but using a compression gauge check on each cylinder should be greater than 120

      If it flashes it got to be a misfire going on..
      If no check engine light is on, get you a basic code reader for like 30$ and plug it in when it flash you should have at least a pending code ... or if you have had the plugs and coil replace, it could be a clogged injector or bad, dumping to much fuel
