    I have had this happen more than once. get a misfire on one cylinder and the problem on one of the other. Last one was gm 4.3 injector #4 stopped working and reported misfire on cylinder #6. I have been using an ELM 327 and torque pro for at least 10 years and it always works.

    Coils can die instantly when they can't discharge, the energy will find its own path to ground, so if it works after you plugged it in that is no guarantee it will tomorrow.
    Good stuff, I have had the same OBD adapter for years.👍

    Torque Pro is a great and very affordable offering, I'm using the OBD MX+ with my 1/2 ram diesel and Alpha OBD software and it has saved me a ton, plus made my little diesel run and live a lot better, EOA's are coming back greater than they had ever been👍 also added a cheap lenova tablet to monitor PID's mainly transmission, EGT's and oil/water temp

    Got a similar one. It's good to keep with if you drive an older vehicle. Let's you know if you can wait till you get home or should you pull over and call a tow truck to prevent doing more damage to vehicle.

    The only reason a mechanic would not want you to have one.. is because they will clear the codes they have and then wonder why the mechanic cannot fix it right then... or they will blast the parts cannon at the car based on the codes and cause more problems than they help... It is great for those who know what they are doing with it.

  • @alabamamotionpictureproduc6626

    Be careful with "leaving it plugged in" to your vehicles. I'm guessing some cars (in my case a 2002 Honda Accord) sends live 12v to the OBD2 port and anytime I'd leave it plugged in for an extended period of time, it would drain my battery (there's an LED or two on the adapter).

    • @mackey-5438
      @mackey-5438 Рік тому +2

      Exactly. The OBD II port is meant to diagnose issues with your truck. It is not meant to have any scanners left in all the time.

    Hi Steve, Have you had experience of an F250 7.3 1997 with the VSS on the back axle not shifting with it pugged in and shifting with it unplugged?? VSS voltage 350mV which seems very low and it is new but aftermarket. Could it need an OEM part?

    • @StephenCox.
      @StephenCox.  Рік тому

      No, it's not bidirectional. Although I've heard that there is a couple apps out there that use the elm327 and are bidirectional.

    so it gave a #2 code for a #8 ? did i miss something

    • @StephenCox.
      @StephenCox.  Рік тому +2

      No, you didn't miss anything. After I finished the video I went on a test drive and had a misfire around 1500rpm. Pulled on the rest of the plug wires and #2 wire wasn't connected. There's 3 plugs per cylinder so the wire not connected to #8 didn't cause a miss. I did a tune up and everything's working great now.

    Hey I got a question when a code says it’s pending does that mean it’s from a previous time the code popped up or is it a code that’s current and needs to be addressed?

    • @StephenCox.
      @StephenCox.  Рік тому +1

      Depends on what code it is. I usually clear the code and test to see if it comes back. But things like emissions related codes can take a while before the computer tests that particular system again.
