    I am 45 and been working on cars since I was thirteen. I went on auto tech and never ever got explanation of systems until I saw scanner danner. I always knew the basic factors involved in finding problems. Yet the way you EXPLAIN it makes it sooooo much easier. Your a great instructor...i thank you and applaud you sir. You have my reapect.

This channel is for people who want to think and diagnose like a boss. This Channel is NOT for everyone. Keep doing what you’re doing Mr. Danner!

    I have been watching your channel for a long time and this video is a great example of why you are one of the best electrical diagnostic technicians in the country. This video is broken down to a level that an average DIYer can understand and follow. You make learning these seemingly complex system easy and fun to understand. I get so lost when I watch other channels but never yours. I love to learn so I can work on my own cars and your channel has taught me so much over the years. You deserve all the success that comes from creating quality material that helps so many others. Thank u.

    I am sitting with a 1987 toyota carina , only eighty thousand miles on the
    clock when I bought ot now eighty six thousand and this, the second time i have had ignition problems/ first time I had to fit new spark plug leads when car came to dead stop. This time there was intermittent misfire as I accelerated, hence I took the distrubuter off like yesterday ! now after shopping it was fine then came to dead stop after 20 meters !! Got it towed home , about a half mile, then it started , ran for five mins then died ! Your video is EXCELLENT, I had now idea how the spark ran acros top of cap to the rotor.

It may take a bit longer than I like, but I have to step back or away when I start feeling upset and organize parts I'm removing.
    Love the outtakes. When I was little I connected two 9 volt batteries together to play with. They were almost dead so they didn't blow, but to my surprise they got a little warm.

    I hope it fixes my car problem. 1994 Toyota Celica 1.8L. I was changing the valve seals in the engine and forgot to take off the negative to the battery. I touched the alternator with a ratchet which caused a spark and then looked at all the fuses which looked bad and changed them. Now This is video is what I’ve been looking for for 4 days now. Thank you guys!

  • @philwright5101
    @philwright5101 2 роки тому

    Thank you, solved my problem with your clear and detailed video on the Celica ignition problem. I needed the details, as an old retired mechanic, did a 5 year apprenticeship as a motor mechanic in Australia, leaving tech school in at age 14, grade 9. Short history, did a few years as a trucker for my brother, including building my own tractor/prime mover out of parts, 1955 Federal, 3-71 GM Diesel, Leyland 6 Sp Constant Mesh box and 2 sp diff.... then further education in the trade, Australia and Canada, ending as a Tech College instructor in Auto and Heavy Duty Mechanics after a couple of years of University. Ending my mechanic career in 1985 I was a bit short on the technological detail of the more modern electronics, the fuel side I was ok with, working with Renault Canada back in the 1970's, I was lucky to have some Bosch electronic fuel injection training, built on that over the years but not enough as I got into computers in 1985. When our long term family 1996 Toyota Celica, Australian version suddenly quit, I needed help as I knew where the problem was by deduction, but not exactly which component.
    Your sketches of the circuitry and theory filled in the blanks and put me on the correct track.... you have an excellent communication ability and persona! I had to understand WHY and WHERE the problem was exactly. It was the Ignition Coil in the distributor that had failed, and your clear and concise discussion gave me the final answers to the puzzle. Thank you very much, keep up the good work.....

  • @mattmorton1593
    @mattmorton1593 6 років тому

    Thanks for the information on how far a good spark will jump from the coil. I've bought an aftermarket distributor assembly, a salvaged distributor, and now am getting into multimeters to diagnose if my ignitor is bad on a 97 Corolla. This whole time the spark from the distributor was weak on every coil I've installed. The tough part about testing the ignitor is that my local store oriely's doesn't have a connector for this ignitor. It's time I order a genuine Toyota coil. My original distributor had an oil leak in it as well. I'm guessing that is what made the secondary short in the coil. This is by far the best explanation I've seen of how these systems work.

    the igniter will never fail on these 80's and 90's toyotas especially on "2A 3A and 3 A-C" carbureted engines(starting 1983) , igniter on "4" series is the same tough it is 1/4" more in height it fits in "3" series " Integrated Ignition Assembly aka IIA " !!, moisture and condensation will corrode the outside resistor wich you can solder a new one worth 10 cents , japanese products from that era were top of the line for quality , great video

    That jumper's alligator clip is biting you because you made Jake lick a 9 volt battery when he was young 😄. Anyway, this was a great video, I am a modern day technician who can understand new car technology and work and diagnose them with ease, yet I only know the basics on older cars and I refuse to work on them. After this video I knew a lot about igniters and distributors systems and can work on older cars a little bit with ease. Thank you very much.

    Hello Paul, Oil in the distributor is most likely oil seal on the bottom of the shaft. I changed the seal on the distributor on my own car 96 Corolla. It only cost $5 and a little of free time. Thanks for the videos, I always enjoy watching your videos.

    • @geologic740
      @geologic740 6 років тому

      Noel Hernandez I did the same to my car. But if the seal isn't failing from becoming hardened, then the cause would be worn bearings in the distributor because the extra play will cause the seal to widen and cause a leak.

    • @ScannerDanner
      @ScannerDanner  6 років тому

      Didn't know there was a seal that could be changed. And good tip on the worn distributor bushing or bearing.

    First, thank you for sharing your knowledge with the rest of us. I had a intrest in being a auto mechanic and now the diagnostic portion of the equation is what really peaks my intrest now. I will be buying your book soon.
    Second, I love the home video's of you working with your children. Bring back great memories of my father and the fun we had working on my truck. Just like you, having your oldest lick a 9v battery...lol , my father installed a electrical wire on the bottom of our fence to keep our dog from diging under it. I bet you know where this is going.lol well he asked me to test it with a metal rod he just so happened to have with him. I remember asking will I get shocked, and his answer was " well thats why we test it". I did and I got shocked.lol Tell Jake don't feel to bad, I cried too.lol
    Thanks for the laughs.

    Excellent video set, Paul. Many of us work on old cars like this and we try to replace only what is proven bad, for the same reasons in your video. That work flow wouldn't be appropriate in a professional setting, because the chance of a callback or misadventure is higher. We don't have to pay for labor, and we're able to go further if the vehicle has persistent problems, without criticizing the shop in the local coffee house.

Also, was neat you found out that the injectors fired in pairs, while monitoring the both pins on the injector with test light to ground, the other paired injector was activated!! Real cool. Keep up the great work Paul, look forward to more videos with you and Scannerdanner II 🙂

    The previous owner of my 95 corolla put on one of those k&n air filters. I doubt it does anything for power but it DOES make the air intake system easier to remove for access to other stuff.

      Looking on my garage shelves i found an older identical coil it was made in Japan but again by Bosch., the latest also by Bosch but in China. Now!! this means that I did some years back replace the coil and I do have vague memories of doing so , also of spark plug leads. So this Carina since new and now with about 83000 miles on the clock is on its third coil. Is this usual ?

    One thing I noticed when you were changing the coil, that may make things easier for you, is after you break loose the nuts on the wires connected to the igniter and the other wire. You could come around and break loose your Phillips head screws, take the screws out, and in your hand you can spin off the nuts to the igniter and the other wire. When putting it back on reverse the process. Seemed like you may would be easier to handle and maybe faster.
