My Philosophy is never do anything live that you can pre-record. We did a live broadcast on Sunday morning for the first time in 18 months and it was a total klusterfuk even though it worked correctly 18 months ago and nothing changed. Obviously I was not at the church I am the radio station grunt making sure that it worked because If I went to church I wouldn't say klusterfuk but it was a disaster

Eric is pretty much the only mechanic that if I dropped off my vehicle I would have no stress about him working on it. His ability to troubleshoot is bar none the best I've seen. He's not out to rip off the customer, he's out to fix a problem. Cheers, Eric. 👏🍻
Great to see some of my favorite RUclipsrs on my other favorite channels! Idea, if Eric can't fix it, send it to Stuntman. Whats it got STUNTMAAAAN!? 😎
Hell no, I love modern cars. They start in the winter- no flooding. No timing gun. No gapping the dwell. No maintenance every 15,000 miles. No frozen gas lines. No mechanical fuel pumps failing etc. Real simple everything is better and lasts longer before needing to be replaced.
SIR, YOUR APPROACH TO DIAGNOSTIC IS SO IMPRESSIVE AND LOGICAL TO THE POINT WITH NO DOUBT TO THE PROBLEM AND CLEAR AS THE SUN LIGHT. THANK FOR GREAT PRESENTATION.
Man, do I love the diagnostic process... Don't like working on junk much anymore, but diag and logic is fun and interesting... Even more fun is watching a pro like Eric O logically go through the procedure...
@@steveo6631 so much of what Eric does is Computer Logic. It's just the wrench turning that turns me off otherwise I'd be a mechanic. But that's a lifetime ago in a galaxy far far away and I am ready to retire you kids get off my lawn get to work and pay your Social Security taxes
Eric love your Channel I've been binge-watching it I'm retired so it gives me plenty of time and by the checking in from Michigan like you I live in the one horse town
Nice diagnosis. I just made some light bulbs with pig tails for loading circuits. I see you using them all the time. Always learn something from your videos. Thanks for taking the time to do those.
I did too after watching his video on how to make these. I have an old wrecked Cavalier out in the pasture for parts that was perfect to scavenge various kinds of lights off of. I wrote the amps down on a piece of paper but need to write them on the lights themselves.
Still amazes me how knowledgeable you are on just about any make and model. Even more surprising when the dealer sends you stuff because they cant figure out the problem even though they are supposed to be experts on whatever make they sell.

You have a kitty cat as well as your gorgeous canines 👍 I always knew you were a good guy 👍 BUT you Shhhhh’d Mrs O...... you’ll surely pay dearly for that 🤣
My next door neighbor had a fuel injector fail when it got hot.Changed the injector for her i became her hero LOL.Great video Dr.O as always until next stay safe everyone.
Eric O’…I am so proud of you! Using the Scope with a Trigger, using your Ohm Meter, Knowing Ohms Law! Where did you go to Electronics School?? Consider Gas flow keeps the Injector Coil cool. But turn it off and it heat soaks and Opens up. Remember the injectors on that Vette with TPI?
My wife's 08 Unlimited X is throwing FI codes (on injectors 1,2, & 3 per a buddy who used his reader). So I am in research mode. This video was helpful to look at possibilities. Now, it will have to wait until I am back home; can look at it face to face and use my reader.
Always look on the Bright side Eric you didn't burn the crap out of your arm diagnosing the harness!!! I still have a well earned scar on my left arm from a Buick 3800!!! 😃😃😃😃😃😃😃😃👍👍👍👍👍
We have an unwritten rule in our shop about this exact thing! Over the years I've found it's scientifically impossible for a job to go smooth if you say ANYTHING about it being easy before you are done. It's a dam fact that it will not go easy. It's just like saying "I'm glad it's not windy" when you are on the golf course. If you utter the words then they will manifest themselves to piss you right the hell off!
He says “ just remember if I can do it you can do it” WRONG, I don’t know your name but Sir you are very talented, you have a lot of knowledge under that hat I enjoy your diligence in searching for the answers. Keep up the good work.
Eric O. Your videos are always a joy to watch, it doesn't matter what you work on I always learn something from them. Just glad you are doing it and not me because I wouldn't know where to start
Spent yesterday binge watching your Jeep videos because i own a 2000 Jeep XJ since 2008 and learned something new. The Steering wheel has to be upside down for the Steering to lock up. Only took me 13 yr.'s and one of your videos to figure that out. TK'S.
I for one find this video as real life as it can be . I deal with this kind of non sense problems a lot , up until the point that I start questioning myself If finally my brain has given up and burned a fuse .
Another good video showing reality. Heat soak makes perfect sense. My son just bought a used 4door JK cheap. Blown head gasket, blew the coolant out of it like a geyser. Blew the lower rad hose off when we put rad cap on it.
I always check it from auto shut down relay to the proper on on the ecm. In this case it would be from the relay to pcm connector 2 pin 11. That way i can move the harness & see if there is an open circuit. Great stuff Eric
I Love that you take the time to actually teach and explain, not only what you are doing but also what the issues and options are. You are awesome!!! Thanks again.
Reminds me of an intermittent fault on a fire alarm panel I was working on. Tried tracing out the wiring to no avail, including going into the attic to breaking the circuit there and seeing what happened. Everything was fine. Leave the place frustrated and with panel in proper operating condition. Go out again for same issue but this time notice the rat's nest wiring inside the panel and trace out the zone wiring where the problem was happening. Out of sheer past knowledge, I shake the wire, low and behold, I cause the fault. Now I know where the problem lies and I now go about shortening this wiring until I get past the iffy wiring spot. Sometimes you just luck into your problem.
The foreshadowing of the forgone conclusion was very foreboding and formidable with the forecasting of injector four's fores of failure. Sorry I couldn't help myself.
Fantastic video. I just went through this process with my 03 Caravan .. misfire on #2. Wires, plugs, and injectors all good. Wire harness to the fuel rail was sitting on top of exhaust manifold, and over 20 years and 300,000 km had melted all the insulation. I was surprised it even ran. The bare wires must have shorted out the #2 driver on the cpm. Didn't want to spend any money on a junker, so I spliced #3 (adjacent cyl) and #2 together, so I have 2 injectors firing off one driver. Wasn't supposed to work, but it does. The question is .. for how long? The van runs great, but computers are dumb,... it still thinks I have a missfire on 2, and I now have a permanent check engine light and code.
My brother oversees the parts and service departments for 3 Chrysler dealers. He says his mechanics say that J-E-E-P stands for Junk, Each and Every Part
They haven't been right since AMC quit building them. My 86 CJ7 was one of the last ones they pushed out the door it had a Ford computer and God knows what other off-the-shelf parts but that's what made them so indestructible. That 258 6 would get almost 25 miles per gallon if you nursed it at 55 on the Highway with no top in 5th gear. Course I had street tires on it instead of offroad those radials added almost 10 miles per gallon my coworker that has a Wrangler is lucky to get 10 with off-road tires and automatic transmission but she wanted automatic and she's paying for it. And finally I am not a fan of Wrangler got2b ceejay
Erik life dont go as plan sometimes so we just play with what we are given😊 and I hope you never go "the Hollywood way" with your videos, keep it cool. stay safe be well.
Oh the "joys" of flying. Wondering if my connecting flight, that is 2 hours late, will actually make it. Hungry, cranky, tired and did i mention cranky. Then what should pop up but a new SMA video! What was turning out to be a less than good day was dramatically brightened by Mr. O and his fun with Jeeps.
Yup. I pulled the Eric O and refrained from firing the parts cannon at my problematic Mazda Tribute when I had a injector. #1 malfunction code. I did, however, pull the intake manifold to test the injector the multimeter before ordering replacements.
First time I've seen an intermittent fault that actually acts up right when you test it!! Lemme know when you want to hit Vegas. With your luck, I want to come with!
Loved these videos. Wish I had knowledge that you do. I'm learning tho. On the diagnosis part anyway. I know how to change parts but I wanna learn diagnosis. I know little things.
Shows just fine on the Pico then boom un plug everything to test with a multimeter and injector 4 is Dead nice find while record Eric wow wasn't even 2 minutes @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC
Since you touched the connector why not unplug at the injector and check the the harness for a short on the number 4 wires? My thought was a possible damaged wire vs a injector since it seems to have failed when you "touched" it . Thanks for the awesome videos! I'm just a shade tree mechanic but I have learned so much by watching your methods. Unfortunately I don't have scopes but I can still narrow down most issues with much more confidence because of you! Thanks!
Seems like forever since we had a scope video!!! Thank you and would love to see more if possible. As always great video and thanks for taking the time to share with us!
Safety check in Canada specificly Ontario is so stricked any mods are not accepted no leaks, all that you could imagine. And anybody can rat you out but theres no staff to cover all the shops. Love the show have leared from some of your tricks. Thanks
Hey that's auto business for you! I think as you shut off the vehicle the heat builds up even more on the top cause there is no air flow and the windings expand causing open circuit . Great video
It is Mass produced we are not Surprised....Been there done that.....feel your pain Brother 🖖 long live the Brother Hood of 🔧 ‘s Keep them coming 🤟🏻🤟🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
by killing engine heat was able to build up . opening the coil in the injector.but great toubleshooting skills. i have learned so much from you videos . thanks and you are not a shade treee one of the most thoron mechanics the industury needs many more of your kind.
Thinking about it. Makes sense to me. The fuel flowing through could have been just enough to keep it cool enough to function. The instant the fuel flow stops, it got hot enough to fail. Explains why it was able to run, then fail on queue.
Eric, you are so entertaining! It could be this, it could be that, it could be the other thing, or since it's a Chrysler it could be all of the above. Yeah!
Really informative! Enjoyed watching the process. May have an injector problem myself. Biggest problem is that it's the 3.8 liter and not the straight six 4 liter!
Dealing with a P0201, don't have the labscope. However do have test light and a DMM. Cold the injector resistance matched a good one on the truck. Hot the good one went up a few ohms. (Matched factory service info specs.) The bad one wasn't able to measure with my manual range DMM and that's with making sure of pin contact. Set of six on the way. About near 190000 some odd miles. 07 Dakota.
I don't think there's any such thing as a "disappointing" SMA video. Thanks, Eric!
I have to agree with you. Eric O is the best as far as i’m concerned.
Agreed, I always get excited to see a new video posted from SMA. I have learned so much just as a DIYer.
Too many ads
Exactly
Totally agree!
Eric O.: "I don't want to start touching stuff."
Proceeds to grab and shake connector C102..🤣🤣
I noticed that too. Maybe it IS a broken wire. :)
@@61rampy65 shoulda back probed it...
If just touching it is gonna make it break it was going to sooner than later. Better now while its in the shop then on the road.
Just a playful jab at Eric O... he's my favorite RUclipsr...
He meant at the injector.
If it were broken at the harness connector they would all fail to inject since they share the same power feed..
When you think out loud, we learn.
Video's never go right, they just get better when a real weird fault occurs.
Clive! You're awesome!

by killing engine heat was able to build up . opening the coil in the injector.but great toubleshooting skills. i have learned so much from you videos . thanks and you are not a shade treee one of the most thoron mechanics the industury needs many more of your kind.
Thinking about it. Makes sense to me. The fuel flowing through could have been just enough to keep it cool enough to function. The instant the fuel flow stops, it got hot enough to fail. Explains why it was able to run, then fail on queue.
Eric, you are so entertaining! It could be this, it could be that, it could be the other thing, or since it's a Chrysler it could be all of the above. Yeah!
Absolutely no disappointment. Great video.
Really informative! Enjoyed watching the process. May have an injector problem myself. Biggest problem is that it's the 3.8 liter and not the straight six 4 liter!
Same engine in my caravan. Get a new injector harness first. They are known to short and WILL kill the pcm
Dealing with a P0201, don't have the labscope. However do have test light and a DMM. Cold the injector resistance matched a good one on the truck. Hot the good one went up a few ohms. (Matched factory service info specs.) The bad one wasn't able to measure with my manual range DMM and that's with making sure of pin contact. Set of six on the way. About near 190000 some odd miles. 07 Dakota.
Never disappointed with your videos Dr.O keep up the good works
