  • Oooh an Audi! Of course there is a whole list of trouble codes on this one, MAF, fuel trims, misfires...all the good stuff.
    Let's at least try to make the Audi wagon driveable again :)
    Enjoy!

    Thank you Ivan for your time and work.
    With a faulty coil there wiil be raw fuel going out of the cylinder but unconsumed oxygen as well. And this is what the O2 sensor primarily is looking for. So the result will be a sensor reporting a LEAN condition causing a POSITIVE fuel trim. once again thank you.

      @PineHollowAutoDiagnostics  6 лет назад +1

      That's what i have seen on any other car, but those Germans might have a different strategy up their sleeve ;) Just ask Keith from New Level Auto!!

    • @wmichaels362
      @wmichaels362 6 лет назад

      That is correct. Cars have sensors to measure O2 in the exhaust, not unburned fuel. When the fuel is not burned on a misfire, the O2 usually consumed is in the exhaust stream, which the O2 sensor reacts to and then the ECM 'thinks' it's a lean condition. And pulls fuel out.

    Well done, Ivan. Sometimes you can pick up on a bad MAF sensor by tapping on it while observing the waveform on a scope.

    Oem's nearly always deliver. The paddle is handy for quick diagnosis and to be able to identify the odd ones out. Full marks for trying to retrieve the maf readings from the freeze frame.Hard to credit the price of the replacement coils. That engine was transformed and sounded mean in the finish. Great fix and lucky customer.

    Ivan. I agree that is a sweet wagon. Can you elaborate on what is happening in open loop and then closed loop? Can you do a video on fuel trims? I still don't understant exactly how the o2 sensors work. Thanks.

  • @wyattoneable
    @wyattoneable 6 лет назад +2

    I always enjoy watching which direction to take on case studies. This one was more straightforward (so far) but I wanted to comment on the scanners. When the Snap-On wouldn't display freeze frame data, was that a limitation of the vehicle or of the scanner? The reason I ask is that I have many cheaper scanners and a lot of the times when I'm experimenting with them I get "Not Supported". I'm looking forward to the next video.

    High voltage and heat are going to cause break down over time with a coil on plug buried in the hot engine. Coil near plug with 6 inch coil wires like the 5.3 GM are no problem with higher mileage. COP coils are just the new version of replacing plug wires. Thanks for the comparison waveforms between different coils.

    @bobvincent5921 5 лет назад

    Hi thanks. Is it possible that. The ECU will enrich bank side mixture based on one cylinder misfiring and also the O2 sensor being fast enough to identify the same. Your test equipment too has limits so if you have a high number of parameters monitored the resolution of the display result will be less detailed. Also diagnosis of a fault will be misreported???

    If that misfire were to cause any fuel trim codes it should be a lean code if anything. I love that paddle probe from Aeswave. It gives me much better results on average than the one that came in the Pico kit. I also like the ecop by ATS. They come with clips that hold them down to the coil for test driving and such. I would buy a full set of those but I don’t agree with some of their business practices.

  • @Antto

    You can see MAF values via VCDS. I think that's a scanner limitation what you see and what you don't see on the freeze frame data.

  • @Airman..
    @Airman.. 6 лет назад

    MAF value was in the freeze frame data all the time hidden under the complex formula of Calculated Load Value PID:
    = [current airflow] / [(peak airflow at WOT@STP as a function of rpm) *
    (BARO/29.92) * SQRT(298/(AAT+273))]
    Where:
    - STP = Standard Temperature and Pressure = 25 °C, 29.92 in Hg BARO,
    - SQRT = square root
    - WOT = wide open throttle
    - AAT = Ambient Air Temperature (in °C)
    You just have to find for X ..
    My best shot at why the low MAF code was triggered is the low RPMs caused by the misfires which evidently threw the formula off thus logic set the code for the main input value

  • @ingejeppesen1358
    @ingejeppesen1358 5 лет назад

    The last comment you made about rich codes. Remember, the o2 sensor only read oxygen. So if one cylinder was misfiring it would only work as an air pump. The exhaust would get leaner and create lean codes.

    • @PineHollowAutoDiagnostics

      If MAF was reading too low at idle, then fuel trims would be way positive in closed loop. That fact right there PROVES that the MAF was reading correctly!!

      True, but if you are in America and have an American car, it should be easier to get a replacement part. The Prius is a special case in that the body was the same from 2004-2009. So many sold that aftermarket suppliers are competing with replacement product. And one of the factors for car insurance is repair costs including parts costs. It pays to buy a car that is popular so parts are out there. If you buy a limited production model, you are doomed.

    I'm surprised you never got VAGCOM with all these Krautwagons you work on Ivan.
    Really disappointing freeze frame data provided by Audi there. Not very helpful at all. Denso parts on a German car offends me.

    Oooh Audi I would run, not a big fan of the german junk.
    If this a no parts fix with a paper clip a solder iron and some jb weld you are god lol .
    I will watch it later to find out :-)

    I'm surprised Audi uses Denso. But anything made in Japan is superior. Actually, very little is made in Japan. They farm out production to China and Vietnam like we do because Japanese labor is expensive.

    WHY oh WHY did mgrs go to Coil- overs ?
    when once STD distributor ignition function so well AND EASILY diagnosed and repaired cost effectively??
    why are Japanese coil overs usually more reliable then eurotrash units?
    have decade old Mazda coil overs STILL good-and BASKET of VW scrap units ~ ??????

    • @jackshimano1994
      @jackshimano1994 6 лет назад

      EXPENSIVE MULTIPLE coil-overs usually mounted on top of HOT PLUGS ,so fail easily,from heat AND vibration
      -where single distributors and COIL(s) are mounted AWAY from engine,so USUALLY run COOLER
      and both caps and coil(s) and wiring easier - and cheaper, to replace
      am I "missing" something? ( pun intended )

      Individual coils have the ability to have more saturation time to build spark voltage, as compared to one coil trying to fire however many number of plugs. Plus, ignition systems now have a little higher voltage which allows more efficient fuel burn. I hear you on the heat issue though being on top of the motor, it does seem to cause issues at times. I have seen older vehicles that have a single coil get tired though, causing hard start, extended crank times, etc.

      have you not replaced many faulty coil packs and wires in the past?
      and I mean factory stuff that should be good with under 30K on them failing, probably chinesium wire manufacturing and/or ROHS. hence coil overs + easier to control per cylinder, equal secondary HV distance to plug etc.
      not saying I like it overall for all reasons ;)

      Coil over provides more precise ignition timing and less risk of mechanics getting hit with a 50,000 V shock from a bad plug wire.

      i had Kettering,Mallory and electronic ignition systems in my > 6v< and 12v cars since late 50's
      -where voltage exceeded 40 kv -up to 8000 rpm in 4 cylinder cars
      using 75:1 and 100:1 coils
      -where most cars until late 70's STILL USED spark ignition cubed coils from Ford model T 1920's days
      or 25:1 turns ratio coils -where your comments are INDEED VALID
