@Daniel Brockman Is that the only problem? My tsx was having issues similar to that except all the lights kept coming on except the check engine light on. Come to find out it was a bad battery cord.
Wow.. Usually when I think of "Spark, air and fuel" I think; spark plugs, fuel line, fuel pump, MAP sensor, air filter, MAF sensor. But you just brought up a whole list of things I never would have thought of
I felt that way too. I identified several parts, sensors and, fixes which i have experience with but, the stuff i don't know, i'm going to have to ask you guys for help with.

Thanks Paul, I’ve looked at loads of those forum’s...useless...! You and Scotty are the only ones giving this advice to check and clean Mass Airflow Sensor for poor acceleration...what I call a flat spot...! Cleaned the MAP sensor on my daughters 2009 Vauxhall Astra 1.6 Sxi and it as done the trick. I cleaned it with WD40 Contact Cleaner which worked but, it didn’t evaporate...I had to run the hairdryer through it to dry it out. The sensor on this one has only two contacts and does not appear to be removable from the air filter hose...you can see it though from the filter end though and reach it with the tube. Hope this is useful to other people searching the internet for idea’s. By the way, it also seems to have fixed the Rev lag when changing gear, something that I saw on one forum as “perfectly normal on Astra’s”. Thanks Paul
Excellent! Thanks for taking the time to be thorough. I am having issues with an older car hesitating when accelerating and didn't realize all that could affect it. I like your presentation, straight to the point.
I'm a widow and I'm living on Social Security.. And I need to get a little driving job so I've got to get this car up to speed And I live in Arizona and the summer is coming right fast.. Thank you Paul! 🤗😇
Thank you for the long list of what could possibly cause engine performnce issues. Lot of people think fixing or replacing a part or two can fix the issues but it's not always the case. That's why the problem must be diagnosed rather than blindly throwing parts at it. So many components and sensors work together to send the accurate amount of data to the ECM, so that the ECM can send the right ratio of fuel to gain the maximum cobustion output. Any diffiencey can disrupt the proper combustion process causing performance issues overtime. Engineers have spends decades to come up with a product that we now take it for granted. It's not a horse or a bike. This is a product of science not a miracle.
This has bar far been the best video I've seen all day!!!!! I had all spark plugs and coil for cylinfer 3 being as though thats where im having misfire, replaced and fuel injector as well and check engine light still on but this video broke it way down....Thanks
Yes... spend whatever it cost to buy a '64 Chevy Impala running or not... invest another 5K to make it run right and when it hesitates, farts or burps you will only have to check 3-4 things. You cannot buy a new car and take care of it yourself today.
Paul, you are a good man for sharing us youre hard documentation about engine hesitation. This information will help anyone who goes with his car to a mecanic and the owner will know if there is a scam and he will pay for changing something else. Great job mate. Your video will help even the mecanics.
@@trini_boi2414 yea i agree with you. Now im tripping out cus if its not what i think it is now i have a huge list that i have to go thru to figure it out
This video has valuable info on parts that work together to make the car operate smoothly. Not necessarily one can or be able to check that long list, but it teaches you all the car components, their names & their role in a vehicle.
@@muffychao2373 found out my spark plugs wire had severed. Had been driving it a few years till I found it. All the shops deny seeing it.😒😔 To all the auto shops ripping off women driver's 🖕🖕🖕👈💯
Outstanding video! Clear and concise! Easy to follow and titles for each description and numbered areas to look for that could be the issue with your car. Plus, it’s easy to take screen shoots for review later due to the headings and subheadings!
So basically, if any parts or sensors aren't working properly, it will cause a lean air/fuel mixture, engine misfire and the check engine light will come on. Good to know, sounds like an Easy Fix!
That’s a lot to take in. I was just looking at a issue I have with my car and I’m sure one of these would be the culprit. The thing is which one. I’m no master mechanic by a long shot but watching this at least give me some sort of idea. Well sort of. Brilliant video and God knows what we would do without UA-cam and people like this, making the time and effort to share all their knowledge. Nice one. 👍😁
Of course one of these will be your problem. Anyone can open a book and list anything that could ever go wrong with a car. The whole point of being a competent tech is to pinpoint issues so you don't have to consider every random unlikely possibility. If you are still having the problem, list the details. I can't make any promises, but at the very least, I should be able to show you how to eliminate 95%+ of the issues on his list.
Thanks for the info. The scan tool is essential on these newer vehicles. I grew up in the 50's where changing plugs usually took care of the hesitation. But now..... I like my 1967 c20 best! God bless.
Great video..super thorough. My issue is , my sons Hyundai has no check engine light on, and no scanner codes coming up. Took it to 2 places, neither could figure it out, or didnt want to.
Very detailed and easy to follow for us who DIY, you helped me with your video about cleaning the mass air flow sensor, excellent work, Paul, keep it up!
Exactly. If you watch enough UA-cam instructional videos and make the time to practice what you watch, then you will one day hear someone call you a "D-I-Y GUY". Never give up in the beginning. There were times I would have videos playing at night in the background as I slept. Wake up to an answer I heard in my sleep. My next DIY Project is personal credit.
Also sometimes I share this, the Bible says that GOD loves us so much that he sent his son JESUS CHRIST to this earth and HE lived a perfect sinless life.And JESUS went to a cross and gave HIS life for us.And rose again in 3 days and who ever will receive JESUS AS THEIR SAVIOR AND ASK HIM TO COME INTO THEIR HEART AND FORGIVE THEIR SINS,HE WILL TAKE YOU TO HEAVEN.
Coming from someone who has a 20 year old vehicle after watching this same lmaooo I’ve spent 2k in the pass 6 months already and still having problems gahahaha
Thank you sir I do have problem with excellarateting problem, and I change the oilfilter and the fuel pump,but still problem not solve ,and I decided to check out UA-cam channel try to find the solution, and what you have mention with others ,make sense to me,and I'm really appreciate, with all the advice from this channel, thank you,
You summed up the operations of the engine very well! Explanations of each system make troubleshooting easy for a non mechanic person (like myself) to open the hood and save a few bucks! Thank You! Do you have any videos on changing an alternator (only) belt? Without removing the power steering & a/c belts. 2000 crv.
Good and thorough. I had no idea there could be this many causes. But they mostly make sense. The water in fuel seems unlikely to just be affected during acceleration, but I'm just an apprentice.
Believe it or not, where I live, water in fuel is a common issue which affects the entire engine badly. Paul did this thoroughly, like all of his videos, helped me few months ago with a problem which a few mechanics failed to determine so I did it myself.
I see a lot of people giving you grief I’m just naming everything in the car and um, I ACTUALLY LIKE IT! I’ve been looking through a lot of videos searching for something that just basically tells me everything that’s in the freaking car and no one has great pictures like the ones you’re showing here which makes it a little bit easier to understand when people are talking about oh there’s this piece in this corner under this thing with the thing in the thing here’s a weird angle to it. I really enjoyed this video, thank you very much. 💜💜💜
The MAF sensor is 90% of the time the reason... New one would help but cleaning the old it won't work... I got mine new Bosh Maf for 120€... For the hesitation, it might be the air system, fuel system or even the spark plugs... These are the main reasons... Thanks for the explanation...

You forgot to mention the most common intake system component of fuel injected cars. The idle air control valve is what really makes cars hesitate and not start along with stalling.
First, if your engine is hesitating, 95% of the time its the spark plugs that are causing it. If you have to diagnose via process of elimination, then it's best to start with the cheapest and easiest things to replace. First, an alternator has one job, which is to charge the battery and a faulty alternator will not cause your engine to misfire or a check engine light. This means a battery light is shown on the dash which in-turn tells you that the battery is not being recharged. Second, I can't even be bothered listing all the things that you've listed that's irrelevant.
@Adrian Vac that shouldnt be possible considering that leads have a jacket that covers the top half of the plug and the other half is inside the motor. Plus the alternator shouldn't be close enough for a magnetic field to have an effect. The only way this would occur is if a damaged lead was basically resting on it. The voltage that's sent to the spark plugs from the battery will always be the same, regardless if the alternator is charging the battery or not because that signal is controlled by the ecu. If it is an intermittent fault that doesn't cause the voltage to drop low enough to warrant the ecu to throw a battery light up on the dash then it's likely a bad ground wire or a faulty voltage regulator that most of the time is caused by heat exposure from the motor. Anyway, I'm getting off topic, point is that it shouldn't be possible for a magnetic field to effect spark. What suburb was it? As in, what motor? I'm curious to see a diagram of it..
Best response I've seen 😂 mine started hesitating gonna see if it's the spark plugs 😂 if it is for one I'm gonna be ecstatic cuz that's cheap secondly Imma be dead cuz this man list multiples of stuff like how u expect us to be worried with all that 😂
For a diesel engine: Blanking off the EGR was the fix on my diesel. The exhaust gas was screwing up the fuel mixture and causing a very very bad hesitation and a big puff of black smoke out the exhaust when trying to take off from a stand still. The ECU was not compensating for this and that hesitation was becoming dangerous. The blank plate was the only way to fix this problem. How can an engine be Euro 5 compliant when that happens? Maybe the testing for this is compliance is suspect? Until Foton/Cummins come up with an ECU update to compensate for this the blank plate is staying in place in my car!!!
Most thorough video ever! Musta taken forever. Thanks for takin the time to do it so well! Nothin like modern car possible failures eh? Im dealin with issues on my 94 mustang currently...
Took my 2018 Yukon Denali to the dealership because of a hesitation at low speeds. They told me this is by design and how the vehicle works. WOW!! It’s CPO and has 43k miles. I guess they didn’t want to check all of these things.
Thanks for his exhaustive list of possibilities. The sheer number can be overwhelming especially if you have multiple failures. I know my local Toyota dealer might take issue with your categorization of this problem as an “Easy Fix.” I’ll be asking them soon to try for the third time to figure out the issue on my Venza. 😉
My Ford Escape 2.3L AT also "hesitates"when I would suddenly overtake but I mainly associated the issue with transmission gear dropping from overdrive to lower gear for more acceleration. So whenever I'm in a hurry and would overtake a lot, I just disable the overdrive for much better acceleration.
Must be related to Scotty Kilmer! Lol
Jose Betancourt yes for sure
Loo
Jose Betancourt Scotty would use his $5 K scan tool & it would tell him exactly what the problem is. 🐴🐈
He's a" knock off" of Scotty Kilmer😒

You forgot to mention the most common intake system component of fuel injected cars. The idle air control valve is what really makes cars hesitate and not start along with stalling.
I have never associated the idle air control valve with engine hesitation during acceleration but rather irregular idle speed and stalling.
First, if your engine is hesitating, 95% of the time its the spark plugs that are causing it. If you have to diagnose via process of elimination, then it's best to start with the cheapest and easiest things to replace.
First, an alternator has one job, which is to charge the battery and a faulty alternator will not cause your engine to misfire or a check engine light. This means a battery light is shown on the dash which in-turn tells you that the battery is not being recharged.
Second, I can't even be bothered listing all the things that you've listed that's irrelevant.
Very true hesitation is most likely spark and bad ⛽
im sooooo mad i changed like 5 parts on my car and still stalling i think it the spark plugs
@Adrian Vac that shouldnt be possible considering that leads have a jacket that covers the top half of the plug and the other half is inside the motor. Plus the alternator shouldn't be close enough for a magnetic field to have an effect. The only way this would occur is if a damaged lead was basically resting on it.
The voltage that's sent to the spark plugs from the battery will always be the same, regardless if the alternator is charging the battery or not because that signal is controlled by the ecu. If it is an intermittent fault that doesn't cause the voltage to drop low enough to warrant the ecu to throw a battery light up on the dash then it's likely a bad ground wire or a faulty voltage regulator that most of the time is caused by heat exposure from the motor.
Anyway, I'm getting off topic, point is that it shouldn't be possible for a magnetic field to effect spark. What suburb was it? As in, what motor? I'm curious to see a diagram of it..
Thank you sir he named just naming shit lol
Best response I've seen 😂 mine started hesitating gonna see if it's the spark plugs 😂 if it is for one I'm gonna be ecstatic cuz that's cheap secondly Imma be dead cuz this man list multiples of stuff like how u expect us to be worried with all that 😂
If that's an EASY FIX- I might as well start walking. Very Informative yet extremely overwhelming
Thank the Lord for you Bro!!!!! Great Teacher!!!? Showing every possibly plus pictures and names!!!!!!!
Hi Paul, I really hand it to you guys!!
it's mind-boggling to me all the parts and all the systems on a car that can go wrong! :-( wow
After Watching this I bought another car..
Wow this really narrowed it down for me...
Very precise. Hahahah
Great video. This also started playing automatically and I genuinely thought it was Bob Odenkirk talking 😂
For a diesel engine:
Blanking off the EGR was the fix on my diesel.
The exhaust gas was screwing up the fuel mixture and causing a very very bad hesitation and a big puff of black smoke out the exhaust when trying to take off from a stand still. The ECU was not compensating for this and that hesitation was becoming dangerous. The blank plate was the only way to fix this problem.
How can an engine be Euro 5 compliant when that happens? Maybe the testing for this is compliance is suspect?
Until Foton/Cummins come up with an ECU update to compensate for this the blank plate is staying in place in my car!!!
Strait to the point. Nice video!!
You are a gem sir, God help you! Love the work and the organization that you put into your videos! Also I appreciate your clarity when talking!
So in general every single part in the car is faulty
so basically anything
LMAO!
Most thorough video ever! Musta taken forever. Thanks for takin the time to do it so well! Nothin like modern car possible failures eh? Im dealin with issues on my 94 mustang currently...
Reminds me of Scotty Kilmar "Start your engines!!
Wow... I feel like I have been schooled. I am 53 and have never learned more in such a short time in one place. I am very impressed.
Rob Dunkes sr 👍😊
this is the best as can get with a little of knowledge and handy anyone can fix lots of small problems listening to this man
Took my 2018 Yukon Denali to the dealership because of a hesitation at low speeds. They told me this is by design and how the vehicle works. WOW!! It’s CPO and has 43k miles. I guess they didn’t want to check all of these things.
Hey it's Red Forman from that 70's show
after watching the video i realize i should change my vehicle 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks for his exhaustive list of possibilities. The sheer number can be overwhelming especially if you have multiple failures. I know my local Toyota dealer might take issue with your categorization of this problem as an “Easy Fix.” I’ll be asking them soon to try for the third time to figure out the issue on my Venza. 😉
My Ford Escape 2.3L AT also "hesitates"when I would suddenly overtake but I mainly associated the issue with transmission gear dropping from overdrive to lower gear for more acceleration. So whenever I'm in a hurry and would overtake a lot, I just disable the overdrive for much better acceleration.
