2000 Mercury Villager-Nissan Quest Misfire - is it spark, fuel or compression
Vložit

Thank you!
I have learned more from your video's alone. Then what I learned in college. I found your channel seven year's ago and been a fan since. I even started building my own mobile diagnostic kit. At work on my shift I am the electrical guy. Thank you so much Paul.
I know how valuable this teaching platform for automotive learning. Scanner Dan is awesome. I will be joining the premium channel soon.
I’m a truck driver from Harrisonburg, VA. I have always worked on my own vehicles, and decided to start doing side work in the evenings and weekends on vehicles of friends and family. I became a SDP subscriber to get a better understanding of scan data. The ScannerDanner Premium videos and training have opened up a whole new world of diagnostics for me. To be able to not just read a scanner code and blindly replacing a part and hope that its the fix is amazing. To know how to test components and wiring harnesses and circuit to not just find the problem but to understand exactly what caused it is what its all about. Throwing an AutoZone bag of parts at a vehicle hoping to fix a problem does no good if the issue is still there and the MIL is still on and the car is still running like crap. TAKE PAULS CLASS PEOPLE. It is worth the money!!!! And Caleb, thanks so much for all you do for the ScannerDanner brand. You and your dad are awesome. Thank you both!
I own a 1999 Villager and have dealt with misfires, both due to an intake manifold leak, then a fuel injector another time. Always cheered to find anyone doing analysis on my vehicle. All the better when someone at the Danner level of diagnosing is the person. PS: My Villager had a knock sensor issue on a prior occasion. $600 for removing intake manifold to get at the $20 part. At least the repair (which had set a code) turned out to be the actual cause.
3 years ago since I purchased the book and the ebook and the CZcams paid channel and now I'm SDP member I learned a lot that change my life and flip the table and now my friends ask me to help them
Thank you so much Mr danner
Yeah man! That's what I'm talking about. The only downside to this is when you get that hard one in the shop, you know there is no one else in your shop that can help you lol.
Congratulations on both the father and the son for all the excellent content and for the effort. It really makes the difference that we see danner going through the process and checking everything methodically
I like Caleb chiming in with questions, he makes the video better by friendly banter and interaction. Paul, life doesn't get any better.
agree my friend, thank you!
Thank you calub for your questions, we cannot be there to ask them so you represent a lot of us in that sence. Thank you Paul once again for bringing us your case studies. S.D.P is an absolute bargain and nothing else out there available to us in this way. I personally work on audi vehicles and the lack of information is handycaping me in my workshop with certain issues I find but danner is on my shoulder like obi wan kanobi advising me 😉 Scotland 🏴
I laughed out loud with the obi wan comment. Hahaha that is awesome. Thanks man
I have been a premium subscriber here for years (Tampa, FL)
God has blessed you with not only an incredible mechanical aptitude but also a very rare gift and that is being able to teach!
I have worked with alot of very intelligent people that couldnt teach someone how to tighten a bolt let alone how to do anything else!
His premium channel is legit people. Been a subscriber for a long time. From Wichita Kansas. I went from lube tech to lead tech and my last shop in a matter of 3 years. Granted part of that was we had a lot of people leave but no one wanted to do the trouble shooting. I found electrical diagnosis fascinating. I watched his videos for countless hours learning this stuff. I'm in the motorcycle business now and some of this does transfer. Paul's teachings have kept food on my table and am forever grateful.
Isn't that funny how many people do NOT want to do this! It leave it wide open for us. Good job on grabbing the bull by the horns my friend. You are the one that made it happen. It is nice to know that what I've provided helped you bridge the gap. Good providence to you my friend.
ScannerDanner I'm trying to put together a video of a good diag showing your methods on a bike
I'm from Norway working as a ford master tech. Followed Paul for over 2 years now and have his book and just got the 4425 pico. As he said, even if he doesn't work on diesel engines, the fundamentals can be applied to anything. He is a lifechanger!
Hello from Scotland. I’m an apprentice hgv mechanic and really glad I came across this channel 😄
Allan from New Zealand here. SDP member and I refer to the page and book almost daily. I run a small country garage and get a wide range of problems. I also have the USCOPE. highly recommend it as a starting scope.
Ottawa, Ontario Canada, here. 100% worth the premium subscription, and I'm not even an auto mechanic.
It's some great content that teaches you solid troubleshooting and analytical skills that you can apply to every part of your life.
10 yr GM dealership Tech and I’m always learning something NEW from Mr. Danner
SDP Member from San Antonio TX
There’s only couple of people I watch
Scanner Danner & Erik O from South Main Auto for their case study’s plus diagnostic procedures
if your on the fence about the premium channel don’t be you won’t regret spending the lil cash to make you a better mechanic plus become faster in diagnosing problems which in the long run will make you $$$$
J ROD same here just these 2 .
Eric O... 😍, but I also like Ivan, from Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics, and Keith, from New Level Auto.
Eric O is a great diagnostician and a very efficient mechanic.
J ROD I just added DiagnoseDan to my list. Very sharp guy as well. Tommy Wolfe, a student of Paul Danner, was also just added, and he deals with VWs. Check them out.
Will do I’ll check them out thanks
I learned more from Paul's videos in 6 months than I learned in my 8 years as a mechanic in Australia in the past 2 Years I have come so far in diagnostics still no were near as good as Mr danner but I have the confidence to trouble shot the basics with no specific info on the vehicle to rule out easy stuff. I'm generally excited when there is a problem or a check engine light to diag as I used to bet stressed about it 😂 fantastic teacher and all round humble dude
Being excited for electrical problems says it all. Thanks brother!
I've been building cars and engines since 1963 but I still learned a lot from this guy. Good stuff.
Professor Paul really changed my life in this automotive field. From November 2017 till now not even a year...... I can no longer take advice from the head techs when it comes to troubleshooting or electrical. We don't think the same no more. Learning from Paul ivan Erik o and especially Keith from new level auto there is no way u can lose. Thank u guys god bless
A lot of bases covered here. It's also good having a rookie learning the game ask these type of questions so as to bring up concerns one might not think of themselves when watching the video. Commendations Paul on going that extra mile and pulling out a spark plug with the compression / no compression sound test considering it did not even have a compression issue. It shows you care about your viewers.
Not that they were bad before, but your videos have gotten much better since Caleb started helping. You guys make a great team!
Great video, Paul. Nice to see a father and son together sorting out the cars. Too rare these days. You always put up great content and I agree that the basics never change. I do very little with diesel as well, but still know how to check a sensor or fuel pump or..well, you get the point. Keep up the great work!
Good day!! I'm a machanic from the Philippines and i find this videos very helpfull to me as a mechanic.... Scanner Danner's videos are for more supplemental than the one's i've learned from vocational school and that is from his youtube channel what more if you watch his premium videos... subscribe to his premium videos and you will learn a lot from his fundamental teachings... remember fundamentals are always a good foundation of being a best technician...
I subscribed to SDP about 1 month ago and I have already learned more than I thought I would ever learn. I'm telling you guys ,if you want to learn how to diagnose cars, this is the man to teach you. Really I cant even believe I'm learning this stuff. He makes it really easy to understand. I like that your son Caleb is joining in, he is asking the questions I want to ask. Thanks Caleb. I was especially glad to find out that you are a believer when I watched your mission trip video to south america. Great Testimony. Keep up the good work and Thanks ( Las Vegas NV )
So great to hear! Thank you so much for taking the time to comment.
Premium channel is not a cost in the long run it makes you earn money even as a diy mechanic you don't need to pay parts changer Followed Danner since eric car guy visit him.............. all the way from Sweden
ScannerDanner, I'm a heavy truck tech from Southern California. Been doing it for going on 11 yrs. I primarily work on heavy duty diesels but I also get gas engine motorhomes and sometimes small pickups with gassers in them. I picked up a vantage pro about a year ago and it was because of watching your videos, I knew I needed to get in on the scope game! I saw them when I was in school for automotive but never realized the POWER of the scope until a year ago. It has totally changed my diagnostic technique along with how you go about your diagnostics. You have helped me TREMENDOUSLY and yes the theory crosses over to diesels. Most sensors and ECMs on even the big diesels all use the 5V ref's so it definitely crosses over. Thank you and keep it up. God Bless you and the Danner family.
I'm blessed you do all this work for us. I'm from New Hampshire and it has changed my ENTIRE career for the better. Knowledge is power and I make over $20/hr at a shop with no ASEs strictly due to my diagnostic abilities and case study records for the past few years.
For all of the ones on the fence about scannerdanner premium: if you are in the market for an automotive tech training class, ADD THIS SERVICE to your education!! This guy knows his stuff, and he literally wrote the book on the subject!! I'm not a subscriber to that service. I'm not a tech in training, just a life long backyard mech, and one that appreciates what he is teaching!! If I could pay for it, I would!! He explains what I already know, in greater detail, to help me understand what it is I know, and gives greater knowledge about what I don't yet know, in plain and simple words that are easy to keep up with!
GREAT JOB, SCAN!! I love watching you work, and watching Caleb (and the rest of us) learn!!
You can afford it probably, it's like $11 per month, iirc.
Always a great video.I don't currently work in a garage.just a parts supplier from Wales. Always worked on cars. Electronics was always my weak subject untill I joined the premium channel. Now it's my favourite subject thanks to Paul. Much appreciated 👍.
Awesome!
Your description area is the best of any channel out there. The discussion between you two was beneficial to all who listened, great information.
I'm a premium subscriber and have been so for about a year or a little less. I've had the book, however, going on 4 years. Paul teaches the "fundamentals", as he calls it, which applies to just about every electronic system on a vehicle or equipment.
You may have knowledge on how things work, how to do diagnostics, but the information Paul provides just enlightens us that much more. He shows techniques that cut down diagnostic time to a minimum without removing many components, if any at all. This is completely unlike the manufacturer way of doing things or their testing procedures, which are highly invasive and not accurate enough in results.
I've grown ten fold in the time I've been watching Paul's videos. My speed to get to the root of issues has increased, which in turn gives me more time to work on other vehicles and equipment or just to cut off early and spend time with family.
If debating whether to subscribe to the website, don't hesitate. You'll make your money back and find less stress while doing so.
Cuba, this is so cool to here sister ! (I remembered this time) I love it when my students "get it" and it does my heart an extra measure of joy when I hear and see my female students showing the guys how it is done. May God continue his providence for you my friend. Thank you so much for this comment.
ScannerDanner whoa!! You did remember! Thanks for the kind words. May the Lord continue to bless you and your family as well. 🤗🤗
And Caleb please keep picking your dads brain and asking ??’s cause it helps me and probably others understand his thought process
Great video! I am a former Nissan master tech who went off on his own. Today I just replaced an injector on a 92 pathfinder that my old dealership diagnosed as needing an engine. They came to me for a second opinion. I performed my diagnosis almost to to the t as yours. Your videos are invaluable to young techs and even for me. Love what you are doing. And ps to any one wanting to know if theres money in this I make over 100k a year in fl. And if you love it and treat people right and have pride in what you do you Can make a nice living
I’m in the UK, primarily Diesels. I subscribe to Paul’s premium channel and have his book. I specialise in Diagnostics and I can honestly say it’s the best investment ANY tech can make in themselves. A 5v ref is the same whatever car it’s on, wherever it is in the world.
Thanks Paul & thanks to Caleb, your editing skills far surpass your Dads 👍 Cheers, Steve.
Tip of the hat to Caleb for certain. Now I don't have to stop and rewind so often 'cause the youngster invariably asks what I wish to but can't. Blessings to both of you.
GREAT WORK ...I'm retired and do this for a hobby on occasions but if I was looking at starting out as a young guy I would definitely start out at rosedale in Scanner Danners classes. I see why you pinned Andrew Hinojosa's comment Paul. That says it all.
Paul, thanks for having your son there. He asked all the Newbie questions I would have asked if I was there. Please bring him out more on your runs because I learned more through his questions and your answers in one shot. The guys who knows more won't ask those questions but because your son is new, smart and inquisitive, I got my questions asked n answered. Thank you to you and your sons great questions!..Great video!!!
absolutely I will be bringing him along whenever I can. Told my wife this morning, he is not allowed to go to school this year lol, he needs to skip his senior year and work with dad. Just kidding of course. Come September, it get's harder to have him around.
Caleb is asking questions that many of us would ask. it's good to have him there.
I believe the downward spike of the injectoir signal after the injector shuts off, is called back-EMF. It is caused when the injector closes and induces a negative voltage spike. I love watching these videos!
Has helped me from day one. The premium channel is where it is at. Houston,Tx in the house. Thanks Scanner Danner for your help
Thank you Joseph!
Scannerdanner, your movies become better and better. A great video, very informative and interesting! And not boring. Today I've learned a lot.
Mr. Paul Ecelente diagnosed as all you assure I am from Mexico I do not miss any of your videos I dedicate myself to the diagnosis and I am learning thanks for sharing your knowledge I do not know how much you have helped me.
from Russia....i learned much from SD... but this stuff and this guy did much more and much important things, its inspire to dive in this cool diagnosic procedures}}} RESPECT and i hope you never get tired filming and teaching
Thank you brother!
Hey hey hey Caleb!! Doing a great job! Enjoyed the questions of a learned student! It's obvious from your questions that you understand enough about the materials, to need to know how this works, to understand how that works, and why this or that doesn't work! TRUST ME!! Even if you don't get into auto repairs, diagnostics and fixing them, you'll be so much better off! Fixing your own car, to save money! Fixing your girls car, to impress her! Fixing your neighbors car, to entice a future neighborly swap!! (I'm a back yard mechanic, my neighbor was a plumber. I fixed his cars, he fixed my plumbing!! wink wink)
Your video editing is showing up as a clean, remarkable skill! Keep up the good work, AND KEEP LEARNING FROM YOUR POPS!! One day, he won't be there. Plus, you'll get to carry on with the same thing, for your kids, one day!!
Thanks Caleb for asking good questions. About the time I asked myself he would ask it.
Caleb is doing a fantastic job with the edits. I also appreciate that he's learning as I am so he asks all the questions that I would ask in order to learn what your looking for and what looks good vs what looks bad. I have learned allot just thru the free videos, I can just imagine how much I would learn thru the paid. Both of you keep up the good work, you make an awesome team.
Shout-out to camera man Caleb! These videos kick ass with better editing and better camera work. It just makes them a lot easier to digest. Also, @scannerdanner, I'm an apprentice tech at a dealership and I can say that the information you give us is far more effective than any of the dealer training info. Thank you so much for the fundamentals. I haven't been able to afford premium even though I've wanted it for a long time but money is good this month. I think I'm gonna buy.
Great interaction between you guys during troubleshooting. Great video- compression example and dissecting an injector wave!!
hi I'm from Denmark and I have been going to school 7 years to get my master in car mechanics and electronics I finished my master last year and I have Scanner Danner's book and I have a membership on his premium channel I work for Mercedes Benz here in Denmark and 85% of the cars I'm working on is Diesel and in my off time I am working on other European cars and I'm still learning every day from Paul Danner so thanks Mr. Paul Danner for your time and your service
I went from making 33,000 in south Texas to making almost 100,000 a year . Trust me it's worth it, I'm working on F250s Diesel 6.7L from 2012 to 2017s and I'm telling you having great foundation is the key to success. You don't have to believe me try the 14 day trail. If you want to change parts till it fixes a vehicle this is not for you, If you want to diagnose a vehicle that 3 other mechanics worked on and couldn't fix it but you come across it and find a shorted map sensor guess who makes the big bucks. YOU !!!!
Andrew Hinojosa, Mcallen?
A great foundation is the key! I get questions a lot asking me if what I am teaching can transfer to other systems, and your comment proves that yes, it can and does! Thanks so much for putting this comment here for others to see. I get this type of feedback all the time, from all over the world, in all different markets. It's just nice that others get to see it this time. Thanks again!
I live in Raymondville TX but work in Corpus Christi TX.
Andrew Hinojosa, that's not too "Pharr" from me.
I'm from central New Jersey and I purchased Scanner Danners E- Book 2 years ago. This information and live case studies have taken me to another level. Understanding how systems work and communicate together are a must! Andrew is right, when you start diagnosing and fixing problems that have been to multiple garages and you make the repair using the right testing methods, the money will start rolling in. You will be the go to guy. It will also help you pass ASE tests that should bump up your
salary.
Thanks for posting this here. I really appreciate it man. It is so nice to hear
Awesome video as usual! I love it to when Caleb is with you! He asks you great questions and you can see his thirst for your knowledge. I'm glad to hear he'll be joining your class. That's gotta make you proud Pop. Following your footsteps. Caleb you're a lucky young man. Your Pop is a rock star in the automotive industry. He's not only brought you up right, but he's helped so many other men and women in this field become better all the way around. SDP member here and will be for a long time to come! Even after I've watched all the videos on SDP I'm sticking around because I owe this man for the knowledge he has given me! From Smyrna Delaware
You and Caleb together make a great team. Teacher and student. Wise student!
i went to school, graduated. and i think i lern more waching your videos. grasias mr SD.
I'm not even a premium subscriber but I've learned a ton from just watching the regular CZcams subscriber vids. I can just imagine how much more informed is be if I was able to get the scanner danner premium channel!
Good job on your edits Caleb!!! I know how much of a pain they can be. I've done them myself in the past.
Got the book a year or two ago and it has made me a better mechanic. Thank you form the Blue Mountains west of Sydney Australia.
Thank you Paul, you do it from the heart. We all need to make a buck but you still take time to throw out videos for those who cant afford your premium channel. I'm sure you'll get more premium subscribers for being so cool and an outstanding teacher. Your kid is one lucky guy and from his questions, smart kid too. Thanks again.
Excelent explanation as always! So now I Know that the peak voltage induced by the magnetic field of the fuel inyector coil when closing describes the amount of magnetic field created by a good or bad inyector depending the case scenario, for instance a bad inyector coil winding is not going to be able to create 80, 70 or 60 Volts peaks because that fuel inyector winding has a higher than normal resistance. in instead it will have a low peak voltage due to a low magnetic field collapsing back to the winding once the inyection cicle ends. Thank you very much for making it so simple to understand! Cheers from Dominican Republic!
Argeny Sandoval - Key here is to remember the increase in injector coil resistance limits the injector current when activated and therefore results in a weaker fly back voltage.
Always esp enjoy vids with Caleb in there. As a former foster dad to 70 plus kids it's always good to see passionate mentoring and an eager to learn student. Started wrenching in the 70s and I knew I needed to study if I was to be a top tech. No internet but I read a lot and invested in great training seminars with teachers like Jerry Truglia. SDP has been my best investment to date. Even with decades of training and experience Paul's book and videos have much to offer. Some is a review but a ton is new techniques that are an absolutely must. Nothing like it on the net IMO.
Thanks to everybody in your team to make these "free" videos possible.
my team is me and my son Caleb :-)
Thanks all around. It is a blessing to have a good family. I am lucky too.
I watch your videos all the time. I’ve learned a lot from watching your videos. I took an automotive program but I’ve learned more from you. Keep the videos coming 👍
Thank you Michael! Check out SD Premium on my website after you get through all of my videos here on YT. I have about 470 more and counting right now.
Great video Paul! I hope others watching this appreciate all the extra steps you took showing the different ways to diagnose a bad injector even though just minutes in you knew what was wrong. For those that are on the fence about signing up for a Scanner Danner Premium subscription I will tell you it is a super bargain compared to taking some of the other Online auto training courses that charge up to $150 or more just for one seminar & some of those are loaded with shameless plugs for products.
Exactly! We still need these seminars to stay up with the latest stuff, but what I am offering value wise, cannot even be compared. Thanks for the comment!
We all are grateful to both Danner boys for their work and efforts! And yes, Paul`s channel is the most complete and informative of all off the internet I have found so far. Got to sign up for the Premium too, I know for a fact that is worth it.
Mr paul you are the best theacher in the internet I like how you explain everything easy ,I start working on this and I learn a lot from you videos thanks for your knowledge
Think the real value in having your son with you, is not as a cameraman but as a proxy student for all of us. Thanx as always. BTW add Canada to the list.👍
Im from argentina, and i learn magnificent ways of diagnose , for example the current ramp for all injectors taken by a main feed, troubleshooting all kind of problems with a test light an many more
Thank You
Thx for sharing my friend and great question from your son. I really like the editing of a good sound and bad after. I bet it is going to be helpful to a lot of people.
Wow I'm in the middle of this video and I just wanted to say thank you for making these videos I've watched quite a few of them with the full intention of watching all of them but thanks for pulling it all the way down to fundamentals for your audience I appreciate how you go into depth and detail so one can fully understand what is going on it truly is key to truly understand the full process of how things work you truly are a master thanks again
Thank you Jeremiah!
Thank you so much for your time and service. Very good information on the VILLAGER I'm having similar problem by most mechanic can't seem to figure out why my VILLAGER is misfiring.
Love your technical explanation and it makes me more understanding how to debug and isolate the problem. Great job Sir 👏👍 !!!
Thank you for this freebie. Best single cylinder misfire diagnoses video I've ever watched!!!
Thanks so much. This was a good one. Edits were on point too and my son Caleb did them. Proud of him.
Great explanations of your diagnosis, good to see Kalib asking lots of questions. Hopefully he will go on to be a master like yourself. Really enjoyed watching this regards Rich.
Extremely informative video, I learned more in this video alone than I have in multiple others I've seen in the past week. Also very good questions from Caleb, a couple of his were also mine that otherwise wouldn't have been directly answered had he not been there. I'd say definitely have someone else in the video because it's another person to ask about or reason with something.
Also, love the father-son dynamic, very nice to see
Paul I extremely enjoyed watching your videos, I'm also a subscriber to your premium channel. I'm an ASE Master Mechanic of 30 years of experience. Even though I'm an elite driveability technician in my area I find your premium channel educational and critical to keep me up on the fundamental of our field. I was hoping in this particular video you could have demonstrated to your son and viewers the injector pindel hump on the good cylinder and not see it on the bad cylinder, demonstrating the mechanical opening and closing of the injector pindle. Thank you for all your videos, I know their educational and helpful to all technicians and DIY's out there.
Great Video as always! This one brought back memories. Had a 1999 I used for work that went 323K. Got really good at diagnosing misfires and changing injectors (although cylinders 1-3-5 were a pain). There were many. Used to keep one and a distributor on the shelf. LOL Glad you showed us shadetree guys how you can use a ohm meter to check the injector coils.
Just remember when an ohmmeter shows you the component is bad, it is bad but when an ohmmeter shows you a component is good, it can still be bad lol. The downside of resistance measurements.
You guys make a great team. It's awesome to watch a father pass his extensive knowledge to his son, and to be able to watch over both of your shoulders and learn along with Caleb. He asks the questions so many of us are thinking. Great editing, too! Thanks guys!
Great video, nothing better than and Dad working with, and teaching his Son a craft that will make him a great living and last a lifetime. Good Job ScannerDanner Dad!!
I live in Elko Nevada and I own mobile wrenches I am a mobile mechanic. I started watching this channel about six months ago I now have shops calling me to come diagnose vehicles and making way more money. UTI is $100,000 school scanner Danner is $11 a month you learn way more from scanner danner then you would at UTI keep up the good work.
I became a recent subscriber and it’s completely worth it no matter what direction you take with this invaluable knowledge. If you make a career fixing cars you’ll make 2x more money or you’ll save hundreds of dollars fixing your own car. Either way you win!
Would you mind putting this comment on the feedback page of my website? Either way, thank you so much!
Daaaaamn, Caleb! It's awesome to see him progressing throughout your videos.
Caleb is a very lucky young man to have a Dad that cares so much to teach him and spend time making him smarter than the average guy. Awesome. Whoop whoop
What amazing content you provide! This is the greatest automotive channel ever.. Thanks for all you do. I'm from Eastern Long Island btw...would love to take your classes in person one day..
I'm watching every one of your videos that deals with misfires my2002 Australian built Ford utility has an intermittent misfire which I am trying to diagnose I will let you know when I work it out thanks for everything you do Paul
Caleb you rock dude! Great video with Dad. Your questions brought the rest of us into the process.
Wow you son is one lucky Kid to have a Teacher and Father like you, very enthusiastic which makes learning fun you can tell the kids into it!!
Thank you Paul. Definitely recommend SDP and ebook. Everything comes with a price. This is worth it!,

Awesome! Adding you to the list I just made (where you are from) Thank you!
I'm in the UK and started watching SDP about 4 years ago, changed my life, I was in a aftermarket workshop just finished my apprenticeship and always struggling to fault find and diagnose even the other older guys were because things have changed so much, found and started watching danner after work and at night took that knowledge I learnt from him and put it in to practice and diagnosed a DPF pressure sensor wiring fault on a diesel car so danner is right when he says it's just fundamentals proof is here haha, decided to go to a dealer and 3 years on I'm an accredited master tech, still find older technicians that have been left behind and haven't kept up still throw around there experience and then struggle to diagnose something and don't listen because your a younger tech, only a few stubborn ones out there though changing 1000 pound ecus without testing first because they've seen it before after being a parts changer on that same job that they seen it before on , anyways awesome work guys can't thank you enough and Caleb get learning man this stuff is gold and awesome job on the video work
Love seeing you bring the kids to the show . Great work .
Ive been subscribed to the premium channel for a few months now...Working my way through the classes in order is like being in the actual class.. Along with all the reference videos and case studies its well worth the monthly fee. I continue to learn on a daily basis from each video and its always there in the background for quick reference if your stuck with a vehicle fault or not sure what readings you should be seeing on your dvm or scope.With a 14day trial what have you got to loose.The only downside for me is that being in the UK we deal mostly with diesels. Mr danner we want diesel vids... No only kidding I know you don't get many over there..
Great video paul as always gained great knowledge and is really showing in my electrics exams. Caleb your video editing is second to non, and a pleasure to watch! And yes I'm watching you from Lincolnshire in England so your teaching worldwide Paul!
Your videos are very informative and great to watch. Also makes me happy that I live in the rust free southwest. WEST TEXAS, where twenty year old cars down here have less rust on them than five year old cars up in your neighborhood.
I was going to compliment Caleb for his contributions even before you said to, Paul! Great questions from a guy learning.
Great job Cameraman Caleb you seriously asked some really great questions, you should get a mic to. SDP has really helped me out a lot. When I discovered Paul's channel I didn't own my own scan tool, now several years later I have a verus edge, Pico scope with WPS500 pressure transducer, and a crap load of other diagnostic tools and accessories. If I wasn't making $$ I wouldn't have any of it. Thanks Paul! Butler PA
Great video Mr paul. As far as learning is concerned you need to put lot of basics togather to adapt newer stuff like diesel, its not like one course fits all but if you want to be an diagnostic technition this is the base platform where you can build upon. As always thank you for having me in your class. I am from india where we predominantly drive diesel.
It worth every dollar you spend i have been member for two years . i am a mobile mechanic from australia you learn about odd cases befor you come cross it as well as trick and tip.strongly recommended.
you are a Freaking genius!!! and your son is the next in line, just the fact that he is not afraid to ask questions is awesome because those questions help us rookies as well !!! thank you to you and thank you to your son !!! we are loyal followers !!! lead on my friend, lead on!!!!! Paul for president 2020!!!!!
just the input/output part of premium channel is a must.
Thank you!
SD .. paul I want to thank you for sharing your knowledge. I am from lima - peru .. Your videos helped me improve my diagnosis . thanks caleb too !
Great diagnostics! A scope isn't everything, but it's essential, and can find problems that a scan tool won't or can't find! One more thing. With all the electronics on board new vehicles, the scope will even MORE VALUABLE when diagnosing these new systems!
Just remember, scan tools and even lap top diagnostic systems have fixed programs, whereas, a scope can "Turn On A Dime" or vary because its looking at signals in locating problems!
Love the detailed analysis, Thx Paul / Caleb for all you do.
