    Hey Scanner you don't have to sell me. 10 bucks a month are you kiddin me? I dare anyone to find a better deal, no i double dare them to find a program that even comes close to comparing to what you have to offer. Your teaching's have helped me just about everyday i'm open for business. I must say before i would just be guessing and throwing parts at the vehicle, now after watching you on You Tube and subscribing to your channel i can say i'm very confident i can fix just about anything that comes in the door. Talk about direction!! YOU HAVE GIVEN ME THAT and so much more and i can't say how much that means to a one man show like myself. Thank you, God Bless you and i hope you make a fortune. You deserve it.

    Definitely agree. The ScannerDanner Premium channel is AWESOME!!! I remember the way you used to do the lecture videos, I couldn't really take advantage of them due to the videos would stop streaming after the first 2-3 minutes every time I tried to watch them at the house. I would always have to watch them at work or somewhere else to get to watch the entire video. Since I subscribed to the ScannerDanner Premium channel, I've had ZERO trouble watching the entire lecture videos. And what you get access to is worth 10 times the price being charged easy.

    3.12.14. I am an industrially trained Elect/Instrumentation Tech,with 32yrs experience. The videos that you've put on CZcams are with out question the most concise content on the subjects you cover! I have a deep understanding of electrical theory, & you give a unique perspective on trouble shooting problems! I'm not an auto tech, but any of the younger guys out there will not find ANYONE that instructs like ScannerDanner! I have trouble shot crank sensor intermittent problems just by watching and don't have a scope, on a Buick 3800. You couple his premium Site with books and you'll be on you way in the top percentile of TECHICIANS!

    Fantastic, clear explanations. I liked knowing about the Ford bypass ign system. On my 1987 Ranger I made a YTube video on where the in-line spout connector is located and removed in order to set the correct timing (adjustable distributor). I couldn't find much info on it. Thanks to your video Paul I now understand that when the in line fuse spout is disconnected it isolates the PCM from the ICM...... thanks!

  • @DJDevon3
    @DJDevon3 Před 10 lety

    Awesome lesson on Ford's ignition circuit thank you. I've always wanted to know why I have an ICM! My Mazda 626 has EEC-IV and I've had a PIP circuit code set once. You have to remove the SPOUT connector in order to set idle speed and ignition timing. Not only can you have spark with spout disconnected but you're supposed to for timing and diagnostic mode.

    Hi Scanner: I have a 1992 3.8 Buick w/trans and ECM and all original looms (except starter switch wiring thru firewall) installed in a Lesharo Motor Home. I need info to get power to the F.I.s and Ignition circuits. I would be happy to compensate yourself or any one who could point out the best way to go thru some 'add on' relays and power up the required fuel system and ignition. I have pinouts of the ECM and of the three plugs that attach to the ECM. I am uncertain of where to hook in the B+ correctly. I am 87 and only recently have inquired into the 'post 1970's vehicle electrics'. I love your presentations and assure friends that if they appreciate Sherlock Holmes they can certainly enjoy the pursuit of a elusive fault by modern techs such as yourself. So thanks for any help with 3.8 and for the entertainment, as well.

    Mr. Danner, first off, I'd like to thank you for what you're doing and the videos you put out! I've been in the automotive field for almost 5yrs now but have never just been thrown into diagnostics until moving and starting a new job about 4 months ago. I've learned a lot since my move, but have been wanting more. Learned about your channel last Friday and have been watching nonstop since! Planning on ordering a hard copy of your book within the next week or 2 and subscribing to Scanner danner premium. I'm sure you get this a lot but I was wondering if you could help me with a problem child. Customer brought her car in for running rough. After informing her she'd have to leave it, due to us being busy, she made an appointment and upon attempting to leave the car wouldn't start. She left it of course. Vehicle is a 95 Toyota Celica 2.2L automatic. Found the vehicle had no spark, knowing the ignition coils inside the distributor on Toyota's have problems, and seeing the connectors on the distributor were broken, I replaced the distributor assembly. Good to go, have spark. Nope. Next thing I find is the injectors are constantly grounded via the pcm with key on, and with cranking, so no injector pulse, just constantly grounded. Check my wires to injectors from pcm, check good. Check powers and grounds for pcm, all check good. Replaced the pcm with a used one from junk yard. Alright, good to go, injectors pulsing as they should, but guess What? No spark again. Well, I shouldn't say that, the car did start and run for an hour and a half yesterday. Drove it, shut it off, restarted, everything normal, awesome. Today, won't start, no spark. Found one of your videos on testing the Toyota igniter. System was a pull up design I believe you referred to it as (No voltage at igt circuit), introduced power via test light, had spark from my coil. Vehicle will now intermittently start for a second but immediately stall. My dad whose owned a Honda/Toyota specialty shop for over 30yrs is thinking it's the ignition coil and states he's read article after article of these aftermarket Toyota coils being bad out of the box and tells me to get a Toyota ignition coil to solve the problem. What's your take? Any ideas? Something I'm missing, overlooked? Any help is greatly appreciated

    Hi Paul, Thanks for all your videos, I do have one suggestion....If you clearly mark the emitter of the transistor, it would be much easier for your students to identify current flow as typically the collectors are reverse biased. Your diagrams as indicated don't make sense because you cannot see that the base emitter current is controlling the base collector current...

    @rinzanb9715 Před 10 lety

    Paul, first all thanks a lot for updating your videos. I thought people are opposing to pay less, and they want to pay more. Here is a example how business work, if you buy a can of coke in one dollar, Coke factory sell the coke to wholesaler at 50 cents, wholesaler sells the coke to retailer a at 80 cents than finally retailer sells the coke at one dollar. That one dollar is not the whole profit of the retailer. But as a consumer we that guy make one dollar just selling a can of coke. Similarly scannerdanner doesn't get whole ten dollars. You have already explained in one of your videos that to keep your videos on youtube running it cost money youtube too. Other thing is I have been looking for your kind of explanation for years everywhere not just on internet, bought everything possible whether I could learn something out of it. Did I learnt something, yes I did. But it's the same thing I learnt from other sources not like yours that actually works on fieldwork that can fix car in short time. My point is I could not buy what I wanted, though I wanted spend money on it. Your tried to help people teaching the secret in weeks that you developed over the years. I couldn't buy that much knowledge that cost only ten dollars in a month anywhere that's why I am here. Please let me know Paul which video you are getting opposing kind of comments, I like to leave my some feedback too.

    There is 3-wire C.O.P. without transistor. Early VW 1.8 Turbo has external igniter + 3-wire C.O.P. there third wire is a ground for secondary winding. I think that some other late 90's - early 2000s European cars (ex. 6 cylinder BMWs, late VW 1.8 Turbo) even without igniter has 3-wire C.O.P. coils without built in transistor.

    Is it possible for you to remove the US region block for ScannerDannerPremium?
    I'm from Poland and I study automotive engineering at Cracow University of Technology. Watching your free videos helped me a lot in learning for my classes, practically I only had to look once through my class notes to pass the car exploitation exam.
    I considered buying the subscription for your premium videos to learn more about car diagnostics and troubleshooting, but I can't because it's not available from my country. I could use some tricks with connecting via US proxy servers, but I'm not even sure if that's legal, and I think it would drastically lower transfer speed anyway.

My initial problem was it would not start, because it's 33 years old with 150k mile I thought I would replace the fuel pump. This was not the issue, still would not start so I check for spark, no spark, so I replaced the primary coil, pick-up coil, ignition modular, distributor shaft, cap and rotor button. It started right up and ran. I unplug the advance timing by-pass plug to set base timing on TDC. But, with the EST unplugged it will not start. Base on your video, would you say I have a bad new ignition modular?

      Are you sure base time is set with unplugging something? On some of these you'd jump pins A and B in the 12pin DLC for base time. Describe the EST wire you unplugged. It should only be a single wire

    • @ScannerDanner
      @ScannerDanner  Před 3 měsíci

      I have quite a few Euro case studies and classes on these systems. They're no different than any other system really. With the exception of the secondary winding of their ignition coils being grounded all the time instead of connecting to coil positive. GM used to do this too with their HEI coils.

  • @xylonify
    @xylonify Před 6 lety

    Hello, Paul. Just out of curiosity, if the transistor in the 3 or 4 wires coils were shorted to ground and caused the coil to melt, that can affect the base turn on wire(IGT) and possibly cook the transistor in the pcm, right?

  • @gsxrisaac

    Questions.
    I have a 2001 nissan sentra 1.8
    And I have a misfire on cylinder #2 no spark on the coil, but I switched a good coil and still no spark.
    What could be the problem.

    • @ScannerDannerPremium
      @ScannerDannerPremium Před 9 lety

      Oil in the drive plate inside the distributor. Section 21 in my book if you have it. Pull the distributor cap off, then the rotor, then the black cover underneath the rotor and you'll see what I'm talking about. You can temporary fix it with brake cleaner and blow it out with an air gun

  • @kevintreat3895
    @kevintreat3895 Před 9 lety

    Paul, Probably a stupid question but on the 3-4 wire COP designs....the transistor in the PCM that controls the transistor in the coil....how/what switches this on/off positive of negative voltage(at the base) ? What is the emitter connected to...I take it the collector is the wire coming in from the coil transistor,keep getting collector/emitter confused...

    • @ScannerDannerPremium

    • @ScannerDanner
      @ScannerDanner  Před 6 lety

      the main power to an ignition coil, regardless of design, is from an external fuse protected circuit connected to an ignition positive source.

    yes I know it's another transistor..BUT is the base of the transistor in the PCM switched on and of with power or ground and what is the emitter connected to on this transistor?

    • @ScannerDanner
      @ScannerDanner  Před 9 lety

      I don't build computers my friend. Your asking me component level electronics now. My guess is they can control it however they chose. There is no set standard. Good luck finding this info. The manufactures hide it from each other.

  • @movingupautodiagnostics8645

    Hey Paul, what's the idea of having 2 transistors? On 3 an 4 wire COPs the base circuit driver is inside the coil, but I'm suspecting that another transistor inside the PCM is commanding the base circuit to on and off..? Also, by using an amp probe on these designs, how much amps can I expect to see? Thanks brother.

    • @nicke2307
      @nicke2307 Před 7 lety

      i was thinking the same thing. My guess is that by using pulses from the PCM to trigger the coil you are dealing with much lower current and run a lower risk of frying the PCM and you let the coil deal with the higher current

  • @syedimranshah4721
    @syedimranshah4721 Před 9 lety

    Hi, can you suggest a method to find out whether the power or ground signal of the primary winding is being amplified by the secondary winding of the ignition coil. That would be the polarity of the spark that comes to the spark plug, whether positive or negative.

    • @ScannerDanner
      @ScannerDanner  Před 9 lety

      Why do you ask? For a secondary scope waveform?

    • @syedimranshah4721
      @syedimranshah4721 Před 9 lety

      ScannerDanner
      Well I read in a book (Performance Tuning in Theory and Practice by A. Graham Bell, 1981, Chapter: Ignition, page 183) that spark jumps easily (less voltage required) from the center electrode to the side electrode of the plug. This means that ideally the spark plug center electrode should be negative. Now it remains to confirm it on the vehicle. Reading page 167, apparently it can also be confirmed by checking that the transistor is switching on/off which primary coil wire? If its negative primary coil wire for a vehicle with negative ground, then the coil polarity is ok.

    • @ScannerDanner
      @ScannerDanner  Před 9 lety

      The center electrode is negative on conventional and c.o.p. systems. On waste spark it can be negative or positive. Each coil will have a negative and positive firing plug. And it is not determined by the switching polarity (they are all ground side switched), it is determined by direction of current flow through the primary winding.

    Hi Paul or anyone who may be able to answer,
    I have a question regarding a VAG 4 wire cop.
    There is a common bat + feeding through the primary windings to the transistor, a ground from the transistor, a signal from ecu to transistor.
    My question is regarding the 4th wire which the wiring diagram shows as connected to secondary windings and going to ground.
    Why is this wire required and I assume the coil is actually similar to the 3 wire design in the video?

    • @ScannerDanner
      @ScannerDanner  Před rokem +1

      Yes, the secondary has its own ground wire. GM did this back in the day with their HEI ignition coils.
      The secondary winding can work connected to a 12v power or a ground, as weird as this sounds.
      So yes, you basically have a 3 wire design COP with an extra ground

    Paul , your video is wonderful
    I have a comment in time 28 you talked about Toyota 4 wire type and you draw a Blue line for IGF and I think it is wrong
    I think that IGF should be attached with Secondary not Primary coil because if there is an open in secondary circuit
    if there is no current in Secondary circut there will be no confirmation to PCM that there is a spark generated in the cylinder
    so, the computer will cut the fuel injection at this cylinder and I thick your blue line should be attached before not after Secondary coil best regards Eng. Mohamed El Shamy from Saudi Arabia

    • @ScannerDanner
      @ScannerDanner  Před 7 lety

      Thanks friend. It may be tied into the secondary as you stated. I guess my memory is of seeing a diagram with it tied into the primary winding.

    Awesome video. Im trying to convert a 91 nissan ka24e 4pin distributor harness to run 2002 frontier ka24de 6pin distributor and use a 3 wire coil on plug system. Im using a megasquirt pnp2 ecm. I cannt change the 91 ka24e wiring harness. How do you wire the 4 pin ka24e distributor to run the 6 pin ka24de distributor and use coil on plug setup? The 4 pin has 12v, ground, 180° ref, 1° ref.
    The 6 pin has .
    1. Ignition A
    2. ground
    3. CKP signal - crank
    4. CMP signal - cam
    5. sensor ground
    6. Ground
    I've wired 12v to 1, Ground to 2, 1° to 4, 180° to 3. The pnp2 jumpers are configured for wasted spark and have pin outs for spark abcd, A&d wired together b&c wire together. 3 wire Denson coils 12v, Ground, signal all wired to 12v switch, Ground, 1&4 signal go to a&d @ ecu, 2&3 signal to b&c @ ecu.
    When ignition is turned on coils get hot. What am I doing wrong?

      technically it does, it is the pick-up coil in the distributor. And if it is fuel injected, it definitely will not run with the reference wire "unplugged". You are probably confusing the by-pass wire with the ref wire.
