    It's so fun to watch you troubleshoot these. I pause the video and think it through, then resume when my slower thought process has caught up. I loved your lucid explanation for why a lean misfire causes that popping sound coming from the intake.

    Once again, a very thorough video.
    I only wished I had watched this 2 days ago,
    I just tested out for ASE L1, and there were a couple questions that pertained to the subject of this video.
    I really could have answered the questions quicker, knowing what you just proved!
    Thank you for all you do for us, for your family, your students and anyone else that is interested in learning how all this stuff works.
    L1 Certified I am now.
    Keep up the good work!

    Damn, just finished the video. I would have learned a hell of a lot faster if I had a teacher like you. Instead I got one that read everything out of the manual and prepped the students for the ASE exam only. No wonder I dropped out of school.
    Phenomenal channel, absolutely love what you do.

    @mikeeustice4452 5 років тому +1

    Great video danner I was once told a good rule of thumb is 1 amp current draw per 6-10 psi fuel pressure and the vacuum operated pressure regulators will raise fuel pressure 2-3 psi due to the loss of manifold vacuum during a wot or a snap the ones in the tank don't have this control thus resulting in a 2-3psi drop and I want to say I learned the current draw from one of your lessons. Your one heck of a teacher I feel your one of the lucky ones that found their true calling not working on cars but teaching thank you

    "The fuel pump failed 2 weeks after you changed the fuel filter and the customer was pissed" How can you predict how long a fuel pump is gonna last? Just like you can't predict when the customer will get a flat tire because the tires are bald. If you recommend that the customer replace both the filter and the pump some would think you were trying to rip them off or are guessing. Most won't listen to an explanation. They only see $$$$$.
    I am very aware of lean backfires but never knew exactly what caused them. Great info, Paul.

    Great stuff as usual, Paul! Like I always say, I ALWAYS learn something new on each one of your vids, even though I've been at this for some time now. I didn't realize that pressure drop was normal on a returnless system with the regulator in the tank! This will keep me from chasing my tail some day, I'm sure. THANK YOU yet again! 👍👍 Sure wish I had vids like this to watch back when OBD-II first came out. Would've made my life SOOOO much easier!!
    Interesting that this Equinox has a nearly identical fuel tank to the Ford Mustang - I had to replace a fuel tank, pump, and sender on a 2005. The owners kept dumping all their stale, ethanol-separated fuel into this thing as it sat parked, unused for years. The inside of the fuel tank looked like it was full of salt water for 4 years, lol. Nothing was salvageable. That was the first time I ever saw a split tank, with a tee joining both sides of the tank to the fuel pump, and a separate sending unit by itself on one side. On the Mustang, if I remember right, the 2 senders sent signals to the computer, which averaged the 2 into a gauge reading. Interesting setup.

    • @CubasAutomotive

      Spec for fuel pressure on that car should be at least 60... lol

    • @CubasAutomotive
      @CubasAutomotive 5 років тому

      Many fuel filters are now integrated into fuel pumps anymore. I'm not a fan of this "new" setup. I agree on the filter contributing to pump failure due to extra strain on it.

  • @nukelauncher95
    @nukelauncher95 5 років тому +1

    Another great video, Paul! Newer vehicles are starting to come with 3 phase AC brushless fuel pumps. I've been doing tons of research on new BMWs, and oh boy are they getting complicated.
    The current generation 7 series has a 3 phase fuel pump. It is controlled by a driver module that talks to the engine control module, so nothing out of the ordinary compared to most modern cars. Measuring the module current allows you to measure the pump current too. The pressure spec of this pump is between 72 to 85 PSI, which falls in line with a lot of other cars with GDI. The reason the industry is switching to brushless fuel pumps is that they are more efficient. Less load on the electrical system means less load on the alternator, which means less load on the engine, which means less fuel burned.
    Speaking of the alternator, it now has its own built in module. It talks to the engine control module through a LIN bus. Its only a two wire alternator too. There's the battery cable and the single LIN bus wire. It grounds to the block of course. Sounds simple, right? Well you must use OEM, no exceptions. BMW service info literally says that the alternator will not charge if an incorrect or non-approved alternator installed.

    Hey Guys, Many new videos out from others , picked yours to watch first, "of course". What does that tell you? Your my favorite, been following you along time. Even had your premium for two years way back when. I could go on and on but I'll just say without your videos I wouldn't be diagnosing vehicles. Thanks again. p.s. blow through fuel filter to check for clog, I know you know that, just for others who don't know.

    Btw, just found your channel. Wonderful stuff, you're saying stuff here I want to tell my customers but they don't often trust me when they watch youtube videos on DIY diagnosing and think throwing parts at fault codes will always solve the problem.
    Love your channel, I'll probably be around for a while.
    EDIT: Re: Fuel pumps and filters, same thing happened to me on my Taurus with 250k. Low fuel pressure triggering lean misfire codes. Changed the fuel filter and the pressure returned, only to have low pressure return soon after. Sold the car before I replaced the pump because of a trans issue, but yeah, good advice. Loving your channel even more.

    You really need to do a video on the Scion Xb 1st Gen cars 🚗. There is a check engine light combo that is “VSC” and “Trac Off” that is happening to 1st Generation owners that is IMPOSSIBLE to pinpoint.
    Like my 2006 Scion Xb. Those lights illuminate when it rains, not necessarily when I’m driving it in the rain. Just when I start the engine after it rains. Sometimes.
    I think it has something to do electronically with the Vacuum sensor plug. This is one of the mysteries of the Scion Xb first Generation cars that’s never been solved.
    Of course mine is not doing it now but every once in a while I get the check engine light.
    Great videos as always.

    On some early 2000's euro boxes with a saddle tank style split tank the pump is on one side of the tank and the in-tank pressure regulator and in-tank filter on the other side of the tank . On these cars the filter is an old style paper element in a two part plastic housing held together by a bayonet style fitting. A common cause of no-starts is the the two parts of filter housing coming apart inside the tank resulting in no fuel pressure and all the fuel getting pumped into the side of the tank away from the pump suction. The fix is simply to reassembly the filter housing and if possible lock it together more securely either using a special OEM supplied locking wedge or McGuyver a home made equivalent

    wow that's all i can say .I just came across your video and i am very impressed i have never found someone to go into detail to explain as much about a system as you have and that is great.i only wish i could of found you about 3 weeks ago. i am dealing with a 2012 traverse it has p0090 and a p0087 so i started with pressure live data showed at time of code pressure was low so i put a new pump in and like you say clogged filter if it has over 100,000 i put pump and filter and pump has the pressure regulator on it to so i figured i killed 3 birds with 1 stone lol guess what no fix drove oh i also cleaned the throttle body but after 1 week of great running the dreaded trak control and the half power thing started again and the same codes so i am now changing the high pressure pump and the 2 lines and the pressure regulator at the fail from the advice of a tech at Chevy dealer but hopefully this does it and it is not a injector problem or a fuel module. i miss the days of low pressure systems being very simple to diagnose like in your video. but i figured this would be a great example of not doing a few more test so you don't throw parts at a car or truck because you think you have it but don't want to do the tests to be certain.but i now am going thru all your videos because how you explain things makes it so much easier to figure out thank you for your time in making these and wanting to show people they to can fix some of this stuff or at least know what goes into doing this

That makes it so much easier to follow along with what he is saying. It always takes me a second or two to figure out which scale is which and I miss a point he is making, then I have to rewind. Thank you for that little brother, or whoever did it, don’t stop.

    Flame front characteristics is probably going to run into more static than it's worth to a professor of chemistry, and like everything else it's his opinion anyway what happens in your motor. But there are a few die hard YT fools out there doing see thru plastic cylinder heads on lawn mower engines and using odd fuels to document the flame front and there certainly are some ignition events seen that are agonizingly slow to include backfire thru the opening intake valve - seen and confirmed. You are correct sir, it can happen on rare occasion as was the case here as well.

    Replaced pump without voltage test (dough) problem persists Pressure same if not similar.
    I connected the red GM pump test lead to 12v and NOTHING
    I connected the grey feed wire 12v direct and got about 40 lbs key on.
    So I improved the pressure by directly applying volatage instead of the key on.
    Am I finding a 12v feed wire problem as that red jumper ties into the feed?
    To top it off the trans blew in the middle of trying to diagnose.

      That year was notorious for shorted injectors. Also the wiring harness on the back valve cover would deteriorate from the heat and short out the injector wiring as well as other circuits. Unplug and measure the resistance of each injector. If I remember right, they will all be about 16 ohms each with shorted ones being much less.

    Good video. I learned over the time in the field that aftermarket parts draw more current them oem to the point i get scared of frying a computer driver because those aftermarket parts drawing up to 30% more amps. I bet that guy short with money got the pump from a local autopart store. If it need a fuel pump it will get a fuel filter too nice and simple.

    This was a great video. Could have passed for premium. Material lol. Question. When doing the amerpage test, instead of checking power and ground at the pump, what's the ideal amperage you're looking for and what amperage would make you say screw it and check power and ground at the pump anyway?

    • @ScannerDanner
      @ScannerDanner  5 років тому +1

      Every pump is different but I've had one as low as 2 amps that I was okay with not testing power and ground. I have a video on it. The initial turn on of a pump is higher and can really be used in those situations.

  • @sanctealphonse4510

    Hey, quicky: I wanted to make sure I was 100% before calling a fuel pump on a suspected intermittent fuel pump issue. Sometimes I would get home by stumbling the last several miles. Anyway - that's been resolved (it was fuel pump) but on inspecting the piston w/ a boroscope I can see parts of the piston rings visible as if a crescent moon shape has been eaten out of the piston. I was wondering if me running the engine on a lean condition could've burned up the piston?

    • @ScannerDanner
      @ScannerDanner  5 років тому +1

      Lean = heat = not good. But what are you going to do is the question? How does it run?

    • @sanctealphonse4510
      @sanctealphonse4510 5 років тому +1

      It actually runs pretty good. Long story short: I was going to rebuild the top end because of a bad head gasket and then I noticed the eaten away piston and so I decided to do the unthinkable: pour some magic potion down it's throat (Bar's HG-1). This is a 2003 Ford Expedition and I wasn't going to go through the trouble of rebuilding the top end just to have the pistons fall apart on me so I figured I had nothing to lose LOL So far, so good. It has good compression and everything so I figure I'll just run it till it croaks. I was just not sure if the piston damage was because of me being hesitant to make a call on the fuel pump. I would drive it till it started acting up so that I could diagnose it. This often meant me sitting on the side of the road w/ my test equipment and driving it home like a bucking bull more than once. :-) Kind of like in your video when the truck would move like a spasmatic slug.

    • @ScannerDanner
      @ScannerDanner  5 років тому +2

      I doubt it was from that. More likely that damage was from the bad head gasket. I agree, run it!

    yep, plugged fuel filter = the pump has been working extra hard, best bet is replace it also, also what kind of junk is in the strainer and tank bottom.
    nobody changes them until it's too late and that's one of the reasons they've moved it to in-tank.

    23:08 check amperage for filter condition
    27:25 you mentioned that the amperage is maybe slightly high
    If it is slightly higher amperage, does that indicate the fuel filter is starting to gradually start to clog?

    • @ScannerDanner
      @ScannerDanner  5 років тому

      yes, a restricted fuel filter would cause a higher than normal amperage on the pump

    That's one shot test drive. As Eric would say that's your problem lady. Paul also isn't it true the fowl running thru the pump is also cooling the pump. No flow no cooling no pump. Could you also check the current to see how hard the pump was working. Guess I should watch the whole video before commenting but I'm going to your sight and buying that tool.
