Strange Misfire Problem

http://www.wellsve This video focuses on a strange misfire problem occurring on a 2001 Dodge Caravan. The engine would start and run fine most of the time. Occasionally, it was hard to start and run horrible, misfiring and even backfiring through the throttle body. The problem originated from an installation error. We hope you enjoy it.

@metalxesp Thank you for the kind words. Be sure to stay tuned, we are producing videos all the time. We have one coming soon, where a vehicle was taken to a dealership, the owner spent over $1000 and the problem was still present. We take you step by step through the diagnostics using a scan tool.

@markjhicks over 1000? I'm not sure why part of that didn't even go to new plugs/wire set... awesome video btw!

[markjhicks]

@lor3nzod The money spent is in the up coming video. It is concerning a P0171 lean code on an 06 trailblazer. They didn't replace wires and plugs on this one. However, the steps taken to diagnose the problem in this up coming video are awesome. Be sure to stay tuned. Thanks for the comment and the kind words. Always greatly appreciated!

@markjhicks That's about the way just about all dealerships are nowadays. They wanna focus on changin oil, puttin tires on and doin all this maintenance bullcrap and can't actually DIAGNOSE very much anymore because of it. Dealerships anymore are now just little more than glorified Jiffy Lubes.

@dmorley100 Interesting, I am glad I didn't have to say it!

Take Care and stay tuned,

@markjhicks Allergic to gasoline!?!? Ouch, that's hard :(

[markjhicks]

@binnsh Thank you for the kind words. We try our best, we really do know how tough it is out there. I had a shop for 15 years before working for Wells. Had to sell out because I became allergic to gasoline of all things. Take Care my friend,

I wouldn't have believed anti seize could have been the problem, but I do now. I'll watch the anti seize from now on! You guys are good!
