I spent 50.00 on the e- book literally watched a thousand videos. Some two or three times to get it. Did the 99.00 classes 2 years in a row. Now I'm a completely different person in the automotive industry. Sometimes you have stop stop testing the water and just dive in.
Freaking awesome feedback! Thank you so much! Your follow up comment is just as good.
I've worked as a honda dealer tech, international, and cummins for 26 years. I've see enough fuel pumps on these that you can turn the key on place your ear against the rear quarter panel and hear if the pump is running, it's one of the first things you do. But that's experience, what I really like about your videos is that you hammer home the idea that a person needs to be able to systematically approach all problems with a firm understanding of the basics. i.e. Give a person a fish and you'll feed him for a day, teach him how to fish and he'll feed himself for a life time. Keep up the great videos!!!!
Thank you brother!
Interesting... do the after market pumps fail on reaplacement more than a Honda Brand pump???
Excellent point, I could not agree more, well stated!

I really enjoy the way this guy explains things and troubleshooting. Good work, keep them coming.
+Corr Performance thanks so much!
I like the way you test a vehicle's engine performance problem. I really learn a lot more and verify that some of my humble methods are good with your advanced test techniques for finding the root cause of an engine performance problem. Thank you and God bless you.
Mr. Danner,
These field videos are AWESOME!! They really show the viewer how to diagnose a vehicle with minimal equipment, which can be very helpful! I am an amateur backyard mechanic, and I don't have an oscilloscope or an advanced scanner, so these diagnostics are invaluable to me, as they teach the viewer how to be resourceful with the tools that they do have.
Thank you Mr. Danner!
A big shout out to you i forgot to say i go here first then i ck out Scotty Kilmer and Eric the car guy .Between the three of you i have learned alot and saved tons of money.Thanks again.
Kilmer's a shade tree mechanic at best
Scotty reminds me of the guy that taught me about cars +40 years ago, he did wondrous things with a bare minimum of equipment and was self taught, that being said ScannerDanner is at the top of this game. Scotty does know enough about cars to only buy Toyota. I live in the rust belt so the best you can get out of a Corolla is maybe 20 years (daughter still driving a 98) but its evaporating. I believe Scotty when he says they could last 30 years.
Nb
Yikes. It's an insult to include Paul in the same category as Scotty. Kilmer is a windbag.
Brilliant diagnosis if only all garages in Scotland had guys like you people wouldnt get ripped off!
Thank goodness I have always done my own mechanics but ive learned a few new tips today!
Its been a good day!
Thanks Danner!
Paul, thanks for all of this. I have been a heavy equipment diesel mechanic for many years and have just recently been working on gassers so I'm a bit out of my element at times. I especially appreciate your stressing to verify the ground for your test light. I got bit by that one a time or two and finally learned to verify every time even though it looks like a nice, bright ground, maybe that metal is mounted by a rubber bushing you don't see, or maybe your wire lead is bad. ALWAYS verify.
This is the reason why I love watching your videos very thorough, no shortcuts and doesnt jump to conclusion.
I try to teach multiple methods to finding problems and I'll change it up depending on circumstances on the car. Thank you!
Great Video! It never fails, I always learn something from your videos. Very clear the way you explain things. And even those of us who have worked on vehicles for years can benefit and learn something. Just a side comment. I used to work with a engineer who told me "The day I die is the day I stop learning" I believe that is true for all of us. Thank You!
I used to hate my job until I invested a tiny bit of money into this channel. Now I'm know in my town as one of the better techs but it's easy if you put time into your studies. The time in study and practice is in direct proportion to your income .
As a UAW Automotive student graduate I must say your video teaching was highly professional for a sec I taught I was in school being taught by the instructor that taught me in the classes I wanna thank you for this video as I am currently working on a project car of my own !992 Honda accord once again thank you very helpful information...
thank you!
At around 24:15 -- when you were wondering if you should tighten the battery cable or go underneath -- and you said "yeah, I'm going to go underneath", I had to hit the LIKE. Thanks for your efforts to pinpoint and teach.
thanks so much
i give you props for the way you try an cover all your basis, an how you give a good commentary of everything you do, explaining what your doing or also giving a brief explanation of how the parts work that you checking, overall another great video an presentation cheers
Thanks man
Fixed a corolla fuel pump problem about 3 months ago. Thanks for taking the time to test those injectors. I work entirely on diesels so not to familiar with Petrol EFI systems but getting there.
excellent diagnostic procedures and logic used here. all of these tests done here eliminated potential problem areas. that's what a good mechanic does, end of discussion, I know, I was a mechanic for over 45 years. good job!
Excellent video! You were demonstrating how to do it correctly, not the obvious shortcuts.... Well done, Sir.
I pick up something every time I watch thank u!
Great vid and very clear explanation of the troubleshooting you're doing. Thanks for making these vids! It's a great learning tool for myself as a DIYer!
Nice, good job! Thank you for sharing, I'm learning more and more everyday. Excellent video!
Beating on the tank would be simple. But damn that systematic problem solving is High Level. Really appreciate the way you approach to show us & what effort you put in to solve.
over the years any time there is a problem with any of my vehicles i have learned to skip all the other guys videos and go straight to yours, thank you sir.
+northeast eric thanks man!
Would give this video a million likes if I could. You answer my questions as soon as I think of them and doing the tests instead of skipping to hitting the pump was great. Here to learn how to diagnose and hitting the pump right away doesn’t teach us the diagnostic procedures and thought process to go through. Thanks Paul.
My man, thanks so much! I wanted to cover all of these tests and it was the perfect opportunity to do so.
12 years of automotive experience 10 in a dealership as a technician and still learning crap off youtube. Thank you for the video and your dedication to the automotive world!
That was the BEST tutorial I have ever seen on you tube. Thanks!
+Try Truthful thanks so much
Another informative video. Thanks Paul. Nice to learn basic testing methods as well as short cut approach at the end.
Dud I have to give you 2 thumbs up. The way you explained every single test it's SUPER. This has to be one of the BEST how to videos that I've seen on UA-cam. Thank you very much for sharing this video. I have learned so much from it. 👍👍
Thank you! For some it is too much, but when you need it, it is exactly right 😉
I enjoyed watching you going through the motions. This was so informative for me as an aspiring tech. Thank you for what you do.
+Miguel Torres thank you for watching!
Paul's the best! I could watch his videos all day! He goes to great lengths in diagnostic. Many will jump at the fuel pump as soon as they see no fuel pressure because they are in a hurry and maybe 10% out of time,they'll put a pump in and the car won't start. Then what?! How are you going to explain to your customers that you took 2hrs to drop the tank and the car is still not running?! Watch and learn from the best!
And in case you didn't notice his modesty to apologize for a tattoo… WOW! Great guy!
Thank you Paul!
Important because you need to determine if the feed and ground circuits are working as they should guys. Excellent video Dan.
excellent job Mr Danner.. I really enjoy your videos and learned a lot wih them. thans for sharing them. God bless you every day
greetings from Tamaulipas Mexico
Thanks for taking the time to share this case study :)
Thanks for making this video. You show a lot of very helpful tests and information in your videos.
We all fight with intermittent no crank, no runs and stalls. At least this one had a pattern that could be reasonably duplicated after a set amount of time. In looking at the fuel pump pattern when it was running should have had some irregular amp pattern humps that may have possibly steered you in the direction of the fuel pump too. You have shared many wonderful videos on proper testing methods for no starts and current running issues but, I'm sure many would like to see more dealing with intermittent issues and how you might go about tracking those down. There are great settings and configurations that many would love to know how to use with both the Verus and Pico scopes that would help capture such events. You did a wonderful job with your short finding skills that you shared. I believe direction in this area is just as important as the proper testing methods you show on all of your videos. Keep up the great work! Our industry appreciates what you are sharing!
Dan the man! U do an amazing job of walking thru the thinking process cause that's what a mechanic is! U have presence of mind to explain process and any scenario which gives me confidence to buy basic tools and do it myself!!! Thx
Your. Friend paul from Ladner b c canada
+Paul Zonneveld thanks Paul!

I couldn't agree more. Currently going through this same scenario only it's a wagon. I am going to take my tablet out to the car and step-by-step it. I can hear and feel the relay clicking so my thought was that it's ok. I'm going to break out the test light and do some real work now. Thanks a ton!!! Very, very informative video!!!
thanks Mark! Good luck and keep us posted
I love your videos if you cant fix a problem after watching one of your videos that are related to your problem, Then just stop now and take your car to a shop. Your videos are so in-depth I still learn something new every time I watch one of your video's and I am a certified mechanic (At least I was back in the 1980'S lol) I went to work for the DOD (Department of Defense) some time ago but i still like working on my own cars and family and friends cars when I can. Thanks Mark
+Mark Parchert thanks Mark! I really love to hear how much this is helping people like you.
Wow! I have never seen a mechanic that knows anything about mobile electronics, or any thing else about electronics! I'm exceedingly impressed!
I'm an electrical engineer/retired I started with mobile electronics when I was 7 or 8 years old. I almost never use a test light, but a good Fluke meter, but there is times only a good test light will tell you what you need to know!
Good diagnosis work Danner, ya most of us techs would have just hit that tank for a quick test but you did it the proper and professional way and explained it all well. I hate working on those older hondas that you have to lower the tank to get to the sending unit/ cover or lower it just a bit so you can unplug everything before lowering the tank all the way. I been working on cars for awhile now, finished trade school to and I still learn something new or re learn something i forgot from school from these videos and in this trade things change or something new comes in every year. Thnx for the edumacation bro.
+Katicus thanks for watching! and for the comment
+ScannerDanner I second the motion sir. I'm not a tech at all...just your basic back yard mechanic as they say...with GENERAL knowledge. I've always wanted to be a mechanic, but life lead me in a different direction with our military. (3X VET..HOOAH). Last year I had to put to rest my 92 Taurus with 380,000 miles(original engine, one rebuilt tranny)... Now own an 03 Matrix. I've done all basic procedures to it in regards to tune up items...but she's still eating way to much fuel. I understand city driving (NYC) consumes most of my fuel, but for a four cylinder to be guzzling a tan, giving me over two hundred ish range...I'm mind boggled. Anyway...... You always are proficient and detailed in your videos...thank you sir.
Amazing! Great diagnostics, very thorough.thank you for this video
Thanks for your time dude... awesome information. I learned more from you then from 4 years of schooling! Lol.
I love these tests! Thank you for all the great info!
Interesting video, thanks Paul. I'm going to finish watching this one tomorrow. Good 🌙
loved this video because you didnt reveal the issue from the beginning and went through the whole thinking process. When you say what the issue is in the beginning I think it makes people take for granted how much thought process goes into it and how frustrating it can be when you have no clue what it could be yet and have to just go off of multiple tests and rule out causes
+nicholas elias thanks bro
Hey Paul; just got introduced to your videos. They are well done and good trouble shooting flow. Be careful with that test light, it looks like a computer safe light but it can lead you astray looking for missing grounds or parasitic currant draw. A true incandescent bulb test light, the older style 8$, is the way I track down parasitic draw, faster and easier to see the change when the correct fuse is removed, then my Modis or Vantage Pro. Keep up the good work. Glad to see younger people coming in behind us old guys.
Your really helping me as a newly qualified vehicle technician to gain knowledge and experience. Thank you sir! Subscribed.
Thank you so much! I look forward to hearing from you in the comments of the videos.

Great Video had a no start issue with my 92 accord and this helped
That was truly amazing. I wish I had you in front of me working on my car problem
I have a forum on my website www.scannerdanner.com where we can help you. It is free to join
best video i seen to help with no start issues great job man really great job now maybe i can get my integra to start
Hey , ScannerDanner Thank you for the test you done. I learned a tip or two. I enjoyed your video. Your awesome. Thank you!
Thanks for the concepts you have discussed here.
Thanks Scanner Danner you are a huge blessing.
+Rex Reid thank you Rex!
These steps you did was great appreciated!
that's an in-depth video you made. thank you very much. its very thorough checking
Thank you so much for going through the steps to show us how to diagnose a bad fuel pump nd telling us the complaints that helps out a lot because when u get a vehicle come into the shop with something like that your like ok so I know the fuel pump works because it starts when it is cold but dies when the engine gets warm so then you go through the steps u just did nd it helps a lot thank you for making your videos
Paul I'm glad you did go through the motions your explanation and process of Elimination was a good teaching and learning curb thanks for not banging on the gas tank , enjoyed every minute and brought back memory from years ago, I don't know what all those thumbs down are for
thanks
Sal
Bump into this videos. I have starting issues with my accord 1997. Now im looking forward to hit my tank and see if my car would start. Now im not sure wheater my fuel regulator or pump is having a problems. Kudos to u sir for this vids.
From Malaysia.
these "in the field" videos are awesome
these service call videos are awesome. more, please!
Great demonstration in this video! Thanks for going thru all of the process you did in this one. I've become smarter because of it!
Thank you!
this is not the problem my automobile is having but this video is so interesting anyway! Thank you sir!
+eroticmasterbaker that's cool, thanks for watching!
Great video Paul. Good to see the test light used in most of your testing here. I hope you didn't forget to tightened the battery negative terminal clamp. All the best.
Great video on basic diagnostics on this fuel pump issue / thank you
Great video Paul as always.
Very cool man! I would have to internship for a long time to be good at electrical like you, its the mystery science to me, never been good at electrical, but your walkthrough gives me hope. I would like to see troubleshoot after troubleshoot like this on 20 cars, its brilliant. When we transition to electric cars with 10 moving parts this will be a lost art that shows the intuitive genius of man! Thanks for the great vid!
+zach wasil thanks man
Great video! Man I wish I had a friend like you that would do this for me! Good man
"I'm gonna see if I have anything flammable in the garage" You and I are immediately kindred spirits.
I'm doing the Industrial Attachment using your videos and I'm gaining more knowledge skills and hands on experience. By watching your videos now I challenge Auto Electrical Repair
Thanks awesome! Thank you
Wow man that was an awesome video. Way to go into detail. Not everyone would take the time to go through the steps. Thanks again, you helped me out. I'll subscribe without hesitation.
Great work, diagnostics and explanations !
Recently picked up a Honda del Sol and started doing a resto-mod and was having this same issue. Your video really helped me trouble shoot and find the issue. After replacing the fuel pump was still having issues with fuel pressure. Turns out the banjo washers were sipping out fuel over night thus causing me no fuel pressure upon start up. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and explaining everything in such manner that most of us can understand.
Nice find!
@@ScannerDanner indeed, so we started giving it the tlc it needs. 94 With the B16A3 from factory.
Great job! I do the same thing. Id rather go through the motions then short cuts cause it helps to remember the important steps.
fair play your how to vids are awesome and so easy to follow
I have a 99 civic ex and they are very particular about factory parts for optimum performance . great video
fantastic work, thank you so much for making this video and the steps involved :-)
Thanks a bunch, man!
Helluva informative video. Using it right now to troubleshoot '91 Galant VR4 (#40/2000)
Thanks!
Very good diagnostics!
Hey SD I agree 100% on what you said about going thru the steps or you wouldn't have a video to show us THANXS for a good trouble shooting video. Make your self a little gas bottle with a filter on it as part of your tool box set, You could mix some injector cleaner with the fuel and you will clean the injectors while your trouble shooting. I would bet your right that the car needs fuel pump. I was writing this before you hit the pump Thanxs again L.A.
Great vid, a lotta great tests, thank you
+scannerdanner great video, went through all the checks from spark to relay to power circuit. I'm currently in dirt on a tacoma 96' with crank no start condition and this has really helped me. I have yet to beat on the tank, be trying that when it isn't snowing! Thanks you rock Paul. Life subscriber for sure.
Snowing! That's the best time to lay on the ground :)
I've learnt so much from this video. Thanks for being so thorough
Thank you for the feedback
Great Video as always ! Beating the Tank/Pump before wouldn´t have given us such a good Video - but would have saved you some time.
Thank you for doing all the test, I learned so much, thank you also for taking the time to teach others like me )
+Harley Ryder thank you!
On these fourth generation 1990-1993 and fifth generation 1994-1997 Accords it's helpful to know that the fuel pump prime is in sync with the check engine light bulb check.
From key off to key on you should hear the fuel pump run when the light comes on and it should shut down when the light turns off. It makes it a bit easier to hear the faint whine of the pump when you have a visual cue.
This won't work if the PCM has any stored codes since the light won't turn off.
This doesn't necessarily mean the fuel pump is bad but it does give direction.
great tip! I did not know that about a stored code keeping the light on during the bulb check on these
ScannerDanner
Sorry I misspoke the MIL light will turn off for the bulb check if a code is stored on an OBD 2 PCM and quickly come back on. It's very quick though it will only remain off for a fraction of a second.
On pre OBD 2 PCMs it won't come on at all after the bulb check if a code is stored unless you attempt to start the engine.
The fuel pump prime synchronization with the MIL light information is correct though and applies to both OBD2 and pre OBD Accords.
This is what happens when I post before getting my coffee :-).
Bushougoma
You do an awesome job. Thank you for doing awesome videos and knowing what you're talking about!
Thanks Jared
Great video I learned a lot of important checks to make ,I enjoyed when you beat on the fuel tank and got a the thing to run Just like the Fonz pretty cool
Great vid. Procedure and protocols are everything. thx
I learned a lot bro thanks for the video. hope this acura is just bout the same
hi am so happy to see your videos i learn so much from you i just can't get enough. i am a technician an you teach me so much thank you.
Thanks Christopher
Man i don’t give a shit about what people are going to say you’re the best man keep it up 👍🏽!!
quote of the day! "I know I know I could of did that 20 minutes ago" Thank you for going through this Testing process, very thorough! I was starting and stopping this video going through checks on my 94 Honda I currently think its a fuel problem, Im gonna go beat on the tank first before testing the relay! Subscribed!
Think you did the right thing in going through all of the motions. Shows DIY'ers the right way to approach fuel pump diagnostics. Also like how you decided to stay away from repairing the battery terminals mid-test to show a good baseline instead of messing with it as a variable. That's why you're the professor. :)
thanks bro
enjoyed the vid. thanks for taking the time to show us the right way first.
For sure! Thank you
Nice timing, sir! I just got done replacing an Airtex fuel pump installed by another shop a year ago. Nothing the other shop did wrong, pump just went weak prematurely.
I believe it's important to let your diagnostic results speak for themselves. Just because X or Y part was replaced, doesn't mean it's doing its job.
cool, thanks
I really enjoy your videos. I feel as though my diagnostic skills are lacking a bit. I'm looking for a local class with advanced diagnostic procedures. In the mean time, I always learn something from your videos. I like to watch these while thinking of how I would tackle the problem you are working on. Sometimes I'm spot on, other times I learn a new step or test. Keep up the great vids.
cool thanks!
Great demonstration
Awesome techniques as always
great video, thanks for putting this out for us
having similar problem with 4th gen Honda prelude, did everything accept fuel pressure test with a actual gauge,(and knocking the petrol tank haha) brilliant video, I know what I need todo next 👍👌
Explained in layman's terms, just subbed, great vid
Another great video .Thanks for sharing .
