i have a misfire in the fourth cylinder in my 98 k1500 ext cab chevy 350 5.7 180k miles i have changed the plugs wires cap looking to solve the problems it vibrates alot at idle and if i have lights on for a very very short time hard to start any ideas on what could be the problem? i think it could be the spider injector but not sure .... also some liquid coming from the exhaust with white smoke
@stoner1993able often spider injector assemblies, that plastic crap stinks. But, first, do my video test "how to find out if you head gasket is blown" cause white smoke can be that, the test will tell for sure.
Scotty; What kind of experience do you have with the 3.2 yamaha engine in the ford taurus, I am looking to possibly buy a 93 with 100,000 miles. The engine has been recently tuned to get rid of a miss on the #4 cylinder, plugs and wires, which is not firing at all. I'm thinking of taking a chance on buying it thinking it's the fuel injector. Is it very probable that is is something more complicated such as internal problems?
You might want to add when replacing fuel injectors that you need to clean the area around the fuel rail before taking it out so not to get dirt in the intake. Also when installing you need to put a small amount of lithium grease on the NEW o-rings of the injectors so they tear and cause leaks. I am a mechanic and this is a good video but leaves a lot of important information out. Sorry
@B2sick Man, if you're going to comment, at least spell manson correctly. And try a little harder next time, I assume you don't make a living doing jokes.
@stavrosplaskas well, bleed the air out. If it's a mechanical system diesel, crack the lines ones at a time at the injectors on the engine. If it's electronic, it will bleed itself out just by driving though
@scottykilmer thanks so much for the reply much apreciated your videos have have helped me alot and saved me alot of money ...im a little nervous to crack the lines open as the system is under 60psi compresion......stavros [england uk}
tried priming it out through the pump next to the filter but the pockets move a little and return back to the points where the lines are at their highest...drove the car 50 miles to see if the air will pull through but its just circulating back into the feed line. now my gas tank gauge reads empty... guys please help how can i fix this..
Scotty, I have a Honda Del Sol Si with a D16z6 engine. Is pretty much stock, only has an intake. As you may now, it is a 1.6 liter, which is suppose to have good fuel economy but my car has really bad fuel economy! What things can be causing that problem?
hey scotty i need some help figuring out whats wrong with my honda it sounds like the spark plus wires are hitting on all of them at idle but when i try to take off it dies down and there is no fire in cylinder too please watch this video and let me know what you think it could be
@scottykilmer i cleaned the fuel injectors and they had some corosion on them and i replaced the filter in the top of the fuel injetor,and had gotten a fuel module regulator it was like 7 bucks at pullapart and it was 67 at orielys it works amazing now thanks though
@wicked2631 on older mechanical diesel injectors, you crack each one at a time, and crank the engine to get the air out. On modern electronic ones they bleed themselves.
How does this tell if a injector is bad , if all it does is listen to the solenoid of the injector opening and closing. What if the wiring or pcm is bad and causing intermittent voltage? The injector would appear to be misfiring according to the probe and it would result in a wrong diagnosis.
@sranjesuper It is one way of testing an injector. OF COURSE it can't check everything in such a complex system. You'd need a pro mechanic and a lot of experience to do that. It's a quick check method to pinpoint problem areas.
@scottykilmer Well you could use a NOID light together with the injector probe. You stick the noid light in the injector connector and run the engine and it will light up when it gets a signal to the inejctor if everything from the pcm to the connector is good. If it lights up, and the injector probe says injector body has malfunction, then you know for SURE it is the injector and not the wiring inbetween. Together they are very efficient.
Ive used one of these... Injector on my sr20det is stuck open... it was intermittent so the things on its way out.... today i tested it and cyl 3 no go thre was maybee 2 pulsess in 2 minute run time...............Injectors are only a year old too :( half my luck.
Scotty i need your help i have a 1989 lincoln town car and the heat use to work and now all it does is blow cold air when it should be blowing heat the temperture gauges on my car don't go in the middle it stayc a little under the half way mark which i think is good but i don;t know why the heat quit blowing hot thanks for your time as always john malicek???????
@fiverrgigler no i have not had the time to fixed it yet. I tried to put some techron and some lucas it runs the same. when i have a chance ill check them and the plugs. what about you have you fixed it ? what have you tried already to try to fix the problem?
@jxroq of course check the fuel pump pressure AFTER changing the filter, a weak pump can do that too. And try my video "how to clean fuel injectors on your car" and pay a mechanic to do that.
I have a 92 dodge dakota 4x2 with a v6. My truck cranks but wont start. So i changed the fuel filter, fuel pump, ignition coil, and timing chain. I am getting fuel to the rail on the engine but I dont seem to be getting any fuel to the spark plugs, could my injectors be bad
question my s10 slows down and feels like its choking or flooding when i try to put the pedal down. i have to gradually accelerate i can never put the pedal to the metal so to speak. and i have the same problems when i need to accelerate up hills. someone told me it could be fuel injectors, running lean, or bad gass. what do you think? thank you
@jxroq we have the same problem. I once stuck up on the bridge when I tried to accelerate. Did you able fix the problem? Please share how you fix it. Thank you.
Is injector timing controlled by Camshaft pos.sensor signal such that if cam & crankshaft are out of sync, would only inject when valves are open, yet out of time w/intake stroke, or are they controlled by crankshaft pos. sens.,such that they would inject on the proper stroke, yet out of time with valves opening, & if the latter is as such, would fuel then not be making it's way into the cylinder, but instead leak into crankcase?(Oil smells gassy,black exhaust, but fuel pressure good.)Bad rings?
Hey, Scotty. So if an injector solenoid isn't clicking on and off properly, or is firing intermittently, does that mean it is dirty, or is it purely electrical? In other words, Could it be clicking ( and therefore pass the electronic test) yet still not actually be delivering due to clogs?
hi scotty my car nissan altima 2003 hv starting problem in cold temp. it starts but sometimes engine shakes voilently may be kinda misfiring. After about 15 mins when i turn off engine and turn on again it starts like as it didnt hv any problem before. Can u plz tell me wht could be the problem and how i can get rid of?
@RabbiCAN often a bad temp sensor for the computer. try changing that first, place like auto zone sell em and print you a picture of where it's located. Scotty
@midosoft2005 Wow if you only knew how easy things are with technology Besides he is not holding a gun to your head to buy the tool instead he is telling you ( for free) how to save time and money, tools make life easier for smart people.
Might not be worth it for some smaller cars given the fact that the probe is $100 bucks and a set of four injectors from a warehouse costs about $100 - $120 bucks. By the time you've figured out that you actually do need fuel injectors you've spent twice the amount. Certainly worth it for 6 and 8 cyl engines though.
@coasterpro love to see where you get injectors that cheap. Most new ones are 100-165 bucks apiece around here. Now rebuilt ones are somewhat cheaper, but often don't work. Scotty
i dont even have to use a uv dye i can easly see it at the ends where the little holes where the fuel comes out of its in that small circal at the end of the injector i thank thay are leaking inside so ill just buy 500 dollars worth of injectors 6 for 80 dollars each bwd make and life time warrenty iem glad iem doing the work myself or else it would cost me over 1,200 for a grage to do it and thay are brand new but ill still check for leakes better than haveing a bad enigine as result
opps sorry i was not very detalied at explaining its the ends where the fuel comes out of the little holes in the tip of the injector that is seeping where the fuel sprays out of the oring seals themself where it seal againts the manifold but the tip of the injector itself i have a feeling the injectors themself are not sealing inside like the moveing metal pice called a plunger or something is not sealing compleatley causeing seeping and squrting fuel and not closeing all the way
@stingray300m then replace the injectors if you feel they are leaking from the inside. Me, i'd put UV dye in the gas tank to make sure that was the leak area. Scotty
hey scotty i just bought 6 fuel injectors for a 97 grand am gt 3100 vin m and thay seep like a drop every 3 hours thay leak a little bit because i pressured them at 40+psi on the fuel rail and when you fire them thay dont always seal compleatley because i tested them with 6 volts and thats whats happing any advice
Hey scotty, does it really matter what kind of gasoline you use (chevron, shell, fastrip) ive heard that cheap fuel clogs your fuel injectors and engine and that fuels like chevron clean it. Is it true or just a scam?
@luis3826 All fuels work fine is they are from reputable stations, it's more the tanks you worry about, old ones rust and mess up the gas stored in them. Scotty
@wholesaledirectent NO test will check all problems in anything. For that problem, I use an ultrasonic marksman listening device for the clicks. A clogged injector will not click as loud as a good one. Lots of tools out there to use. Scotty
can you flash your ECU to accept turbo conversion+bigger injectors ? ( fitting my Naturaly aspirated car with maf sensor ) or does the ecu needs to be replaced ? and thank you for your time
@faisalabulaziz1 depends on the make, model, and year. Newer vehicles can be reflashed, but of course you'd need the actual software, and that's hard to come by for modifications. Scotty
@72galaxie500car if they are hidden deep inside the engine, you really can't test them without a many thousands of dollars expensive computer set up made to test them on the vehicle. If you can reach em, use this tool. Scotty
Scotty how can check my mechanical injectors on a Mercedes Benz 280E engine M110.988, since they are mechanical there are no solenoids in them, any tricks?
het scotty so acoording to your video, do u need to disconnect the fuel line in order to check the fuel injectors or not. I am not sure but lately my car is having trouble starting when is cold and I have to press the gas and then it starts thumping and the engine finally idles like is supposed to. Do you think is the fuel injectors that are clogged or could it be something else like the alternator or starter. Thanks a bunch and sorry for bugging you too much.
What about resistance and leakage test. You forgot that! People, be careful with todays car. Their not the same as before. Yeah, great tool but its only half of the Diagnostic...
@videospedrin07 NO tool diagnoses it all. I could show a freeze frame oscilliscope wave form analysis of the injectors too, but most people aren't going to be able to do that. This is a quick, easy way of testing common failures. Scotty
Lol i have a habit of watching these videos for no reason. but i LOVE the surprise ending on how he's going to wrap up the episode xD... back of a truck bed... wtf?
Hi scotty i have a question I have a 91' mitsubishi lancer with a 4g13 engine (1300 cc) with a carburettor, its necessary to equip it with a catalythic converter or not? (it have piece in the exhaust thats its similar to a cathalythic converter but dont have a lambda probe I have to renew the resonator but I need to know if I have to buy a new cathalytic converter)
Scotty that EFI quick probe is a pretty nifty trick, do you know if I can also use it to measure the temperature of a turkey to see if it's been cooked thoroughly?
With this video a lot of people will catch their cars on fire. When they open their fuel line to change the injector they won't have something aligned or nick an O ring or numerous other things. Then it will slowly leak out pooling in crevices on their engine. Heat or a bad ignition wire will make them think "My God, why did I try to repair my car myself" as it goes up in flames. Not a good way to save money by DIY.
Hi Scotty i have a car that turns on and when i start it and put it in gear sometimes it take a long time to take off and sometimes it dont it sounds like there is something lose in the motor can u give me your advice
Fuel injectors are nothing to troubleshoot on honda's just plug one plug wire at a time and see if the idle changes with each plug tell you find the messed up cylinder that is misfiring because when you pull the right plug that is misfiring the engine won't change idle just same pitch and tune. This way you can check for spark at wire and trouble shoot the injector and plug in the cylinder. Another thing that happens in honda's is carbon build up at the injectors.
hey scotty how can i check my spider fuel injectors in my 2001 chevy blazer i get rly bad gas mileage i have to fill it 2 times a week i use to fill it one time a week and what you think what can be the problem ?
@boss407 they're hiding inside, you really can't check em. a REALLY bad design. But they do go bad all the time, being plastic on top of a hot engine. If the plugs keep getting wet with fuel, that's probably it. Scotty
@hipocampus2341 don't know what you mean by "nozzles". You can't clean fuel injectors yourself by removing them unless you have an ultrasonic cleaning machine. To remove them though, watch my other video "how to replace fuel injectors in your car. " Scotty
hey scotty! this sophisticated electronic device seems wonderful and you delivered the information like a TRUE pitchman.... but , correct me if I'm wrong, don't the light pulses just respond in retrospect to the sound of the EFI solenoid? can this be substituted by the ever so ancient caveman contraption called a mechanics stethoscope? just wondering.
@ENGINEERING4DUMMIES Ah, depends upon your ears, how well they listen. and it's MUCH easier to see and count flashes with your eyes than to analyze clicks in a stethoscope. Scotty
Hey man i bought an 85 chevy s10, it has a 2.8 liter in it and i am trying to figure out how to change the fuel filter. I went ahead and bought the filter and it ended up being about 2 inches long and about as big around as my finger and I have no clue where it goes. I think it might be behind the carburetor somewhere but i could really use some specifics on where its located if you could help..
all of a sudden my honda civic, which has the same engine as this 1 in your vid, is having power loss problems occasionaly in 1st and 2nd gear, but works fine every now and then, for example id be starting off good in 1st gear then i just dont hear the cars engine reving anymore and the rpms drop, then i have to shift to second gear so it would keep going, but when it starts to lose power i try to gas i only hear poping sounds in the exhaust, and suggestions?? weird it has power then it has no
Hey Scotty brother... wanted to know which one is cheaper to fix, a carburetor or a fuel injection system ? And also wanted to know which of the two is the most reliable ? I m going to buy a 91 corolla and it has carburetor on it... wanted to grab some advices from you before buying the car.
well i got this 1994 cherokee jeep i dont know if i need it is like this i just come outside it was to it look like it didnt wont turn over it kept cruck up sound so didnt start

@stingray300m then replace the injectors if you feel they are leaking from the inside. Me, i'd put UV dye in the gas tank to make sure that was the leak area. Scotty

hey scotty i just bought 6 fuel injectors for a 97 grand am gt 3100 vin m and thay seep like a drop every 3 hours thay leak a little bit because i pressured them at 40+psi on the fuel rail and when you fire them thay dont always seal compleatley because i tested them with 6 volts and thats whats happing any advice
stingray300m 3 months ago
@stingray300m take it back apart and put ALL new seals on the injectors, they often get broken when installing, lube em with gasoline first. Scotty

Hey scotty, does it really matter what kind of gasoline you use (chevron, shell, fastrip) ive heard that cheap fuel clogs your fuel injectors and engine and that fuels like chevron clean it. Is it true or just a scam?

het scotty so acoording to your video, do u need to disconnect the fuel line in order to check the fuel injectors or not. I am not sure but lately my car is having trouble starting when is cold and I have to press the gas and then it starts thumping and the engine finally idles like is supposed to. Do you think is the fuel injectors that are clogged or could it be something else like the alternator or starter. Thanks a bunch and sorry for bugging you too much.
Thanxs.

Keep these videos coming! I love it!
With this video a lot of people will catch their cars on fire. When they open their fuel line to change the injector they won't have something aligned or nick an O ring or numerous other things. Then it will slowly leak out pooling in crevices on their engine. Heat or a bad ignition wire will make them think "My God, why did I try to repair my car myself" as it goes up in flames. Not a good way to save money by DIY.

Fuel injectors are nothing to troubleshoot on honda's just plug one plug wire at a time and see if the idle changes with each plug tell you find the messed up cylinder that is misfiring because when you pull the right plug that is misfiring the engine won't change idle just same pitch and tune. This way you can check for spark at wire and trouble shoot the injector and plug in the cylinder. Another thing that happens in honda's is carbon build up at the injectors.

Hey man i bought an 85 chevy s10, it has a 2.8 liter in it and i am trying to figure out how to change the fuel filter. I went ahead and bought the filter and it ended up being about 2 inches long and about as big around as my finger and I have no clue where it goes. I think it might be behind the carburetor somewhere but i could really use some specifics on where its located if you could help..
