- Опубликовано: 26 авг 2024
- My Vehicle was hesitating while I accelerated on the gas, almost stalling, back firing, like it wasn't getting enough gas... . I Troubleshoot and fix this issue DIY Style.
It is always nice when a simple fix does the trick.
+Rational Bushcraft Absolutly!!
Thanks so much for sharing this vdo. I have the same issue with my 1991 gmc 2500. Went out & purchased the Ignition coil, replaced and boom the darn thing runs like a champ again😁👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼 could have spent 100s if not 1000s for some mechanic. It's only cost me $23.00 and less than a lunch break to fix it.
I wasn't thinking that was gonna fix it, I figured fuel related myself, kudos man, good job!
+Tim Xpedites Thanks Tim! It's been good ever since :D
I would go to the auto parts store and go one hose at a time and replace every vacumn line to your system I am banking this is is not only needed but will prevent future problems too.
Take one hose off go inside get a replacement and return to your ride this way you don't get overwhelmed or forget what hose goes where.
Do this one by one you will thank yourself later as you will get optimum fuel economy.
+Grunge Luggage Tours Great suggestion... Thanks Grunge Luggage Tours!
Hi Justin. Now this is a video I will have to keep in mind for my future travels in my van. Great job.
+Anthony Thanks Anthony!!
Good job Justin!!! Years ago I had a similar problem. However, my car stopped dead while crossing a four lane highway!!!! It didn't start back for what seemed like minutes meanwhile a tractor trailer was heading my way with his hand on his air horn. I jumped out of the car incase he would've hit me. He was so close, but he swerved out of the way just missing my car by inches!!!! Needless to say, it started back up after that. I ended up junked the car the next day!!! It was to close for my comfort lol:))
+J G Wow!! That's exactly why I wanted to fix it as soon as possible!! Im glad it was just a close call and nothing worse!! Thanks JG!!
+Just in a Van Thanks Justin!! Be careful out there buddy and I'm happy you discovered what your problem was. Julie
There are also a filter in most models called a pressure pump located somewhere on the frame usually under the drivers side of the vehicle. Those are most likely the filter that gets clogged. The one in the tank has much bigger holes in the filter.
Nice repair job man! I could've sworn that I saw a slight smile on your face when you realized that the problem had been solved! I hope you now have some vice grips in your TB...cheers buddy & continue staying safe!
+roberto abrams Thanks Roberto... I know the moment your talking about!! haha
+Just in a Van Always soak old bolts/screws with wd-40 to loosen them up. Also, you might want to get a ratcheting screw driver - preferably one that will do a right-angle.
sounds to me more like a vacuum leak. I would purchase a roll of vacuum hose it's cheap enough about 10 bucks for a roll replace each piece of Hose you come across. Pull one off at a time measure cut to length replace. As old as the van is I can guarantee you all your vacuum lines are dry-rotted and you're getting vacuum leaks that's what's causing the hesitation.
I love your video & i think we don't have to have a $70,000 dollars truck to be happy. It looks like you are having your van thanks again god bless
Glad you found the fix. My Dodge van does this when it rains and is really wet outside. Thanks for your videos!
+Russell Mayes Thanks Russell... I think new cables and distributor cap may fix that... but i'm no expert...
+Just in a Van sounds like a weekend project...
great video Justin I'm glad you were able to fix the problem is always better when you fix it yourself then have to pay garage thanks for posting talk to you later
+coates9580 Appreciate it Coates... Thanks!
Before you sell her you want to clean and paint that filter housing it would make your engine look so much better.
I love your van every challenge you meet and over come makes me like it more.
+Grunge Luggage Tours Thanks GLT!
Never say "this will be quick and easy" never hahahah me and my friends learned that the hard way haha
Love the exposed engine!
Poor engine really has to work.
I think someone should make a clear engine cover so we can see our beast of burden at work.
+48busman Now that would be pretty cool!
Got an 89 b350. 5.9l. Passenger van... Good call bro. ...love my van. Do my own work on it. .. Im a floor guy. Gotta keep rollin... Thank for vid.. Same issues.. . coils the culprit...⚡⚡⚡
If your too the point of almost stalling out check the TPS throttle position sensor. If the computer didn’t know what position the throttles in it’s going to be confused and might not add enough gas. The computer looks at the MAP TPS MAF and Oxygen sensors to input the right amount of gas at a given time.
Changing all the vacuum rubber hoses would do you wonders
I have same van an year..you should get some pb blaster or good lube penetrator an take a few hours an spray the hell out of bolts nuts anything you see..that way u have to work on something in future it has lube already ahead of the game..this has worked for me...good luck
+mud flap great idea mud flap... I did lube up the screws before attempting to remove them, thanks for the suggestion!!
I would be tempted to put a couple of tankfuls of hi octane gas in it the next two times you fill up. Sounded good, but I've gotten some crappy gas while on vacation in Florida before using the cheap gas.
+Rick T Thanks for the suggestion Rick... I'll probably do that!
Also when you change something helps to leave a little tag on that part to remind you of when you changed that part. We keep rides so long and forget when we do work.
When I change oil on my Prius I have this big space on top the engine that has nothing written just open space. I get a sharpie and write the mileage and the date I change the oil. Also helps to sell the car a lot of people will say they want proof you changed the oil while it is not proof it looks way better than saying I did it here is the receipt . I have never seen anybody misplace their engine? So I just have to look for the tallest number on the top the engine and add 5K to it and I know my next due oil change.
Hybrids have less frequent oil changes because the electric system will get your car going for the first couple hundred yards then the ICE will kick in. I wonder how much cleaner my engine is by not sucking in the soot and carbon of the other rides as they are doing their hardest work with less wind flow? All I can say is hybrids are a marvel at how well they run. They are masterpieces.
+Grunge Luggage Tours awesome!
I don't think that removing your fuel tank to service pump issues is out of your skill set. One bit of advice, "Tools don't cost you money if you need them and know how to use them. They make you money". Tell me what it would have cost you to have a shop do what you did. That is what your skill and tools made you! Proper tools for the task at hand, may be the difference between getting the job done yourself or paying others to do it. Finally, taking some of the money you saved doing this yourself might be well invested buying the tools you wish you had, like a set of vice grips. A set of three are < t $10 at Harbor Freight. With any next fix you might need them. Tools can make you a lot of money when you have them and when you needed.
it sounded pretty good, kind of hard to tell w/o being there. I don't remember if you changed the air and pvc filters, they are fairly inexpensive and a dirty air filter will effect mileage. I can imagine the language using pliers to remove those screws would inspire me to use. I'm glad it worked out so well
+Doc Ink Thanks Doc! The air filter looked pretty clean, but it probably wouldn't hurt as I don't know when the last time it was replaced. Thanks!!
I got a 1985 delta 88 n I loses power but it don’t kill at 40 to 50 mph what the cause could be?
Nice job on van..... 318 good motor
+jeff Minnesota Thanks Jeff!!
Happy to see you got that worked out, fingers crossed here .:) ..Enjoy the vlogs Big thumbs up.
I have a 1998 Dodge Ram B1500 v6 I'm having the same issue. I'm glad I seen this
....hats off to you Justin !
+Antique Van CamperMan Thank you Antique Van Camperman!!
I got an 85 cj7 that sputters and misfires at 4th gear around 55. Whole cab shakes. Racking my brain on this I’ve done what you mentioned plugs wires Yada yada. Seemed like it went away. It’s back, gonna change out the coil tomorrow and run new vacuum lines. It’s a hassle.
wow dude, can I suggest a good penetrating catalyst, it's called PB, it's a nut and bolt Buster. Ha ha it works really good it stinks to high heaven but man you spray it on your screw nut or bolt wait about two minutes and nine times out of 10 bada bing bada boom, it breaks loose. Good luck love your videos.
Are you talking about PB Blaster? WD40 works just as well and cost about half as much!
@@georgepeters335 I'm tech since 1963, and that is not correct. WD40 is very weak compared to PB blaster or Zep45.
@@georgepeters335 WD40 does NOT work as well as PB blaster.
I actually kinda like the smell of it lol. reminds me of working on cars!! :)
Hey, Justin, I appreciate the video and the time you took to make it. I have a 92 Ford E150 with the same problem and I'm hoping that I can find the problem. Maybe it's the same thing! Anyway, thanks for the great video!
Did you do what he did and did it fix the problem
Had a issue with my Neon where it wouldn't accelerate past 2300 rpms. I fixed it with a new cam shaft position sensor.
Great job!! Looks like replacing the coil did the trick!
+photocontrol So far so good!! I'm keeping my fingers crossed it keeps up!!
here is a suggestion Liquid Wrench, you can get at most if any parts or hardware stores.
Hi Justin great video listen I have a suggestion for you if you want you could do a heat gas treatment the next time you fill your tank from Empty put a bottle of that in and it will clean your tank from all gas that you have gotten that was cluttered with trash
+REVEREND DAVID HAMM Great suggestion... Thanks for the tip David!!
yw man
Hope to get to see you when you get to NOLA A clarino is there you will see him if you follow the wall past the mint.
He and Moody are usually there. If Moody is not working that young man has a marvelous future I predict he is going to invent something and be mega rich.
+Grunge Luggage Tours Awesome, yeah, that would be cool!
Hi Justin, is this the same case for 1993 p30 Chevrolet 454 engines ?
why do they put the filters in so hard to reach??
Nice work! I see some needle nose pliers in your future tool kit. I replaced those screws with bolts.
I bought my dad's van beacause of a faulty aftermarket Jacobs Ignition. Was wearing my new shoes while going for a short test drive on an already hot day. Melted the right sole. Atleast I fixed the hesitation & on 92-95 econolines it effects the shifting. So after a while the Jacobs Mileage Master was doing just the opposite.
+Jackup460 Thanks Jackup460... go easy on the shoes man!! lol
I used to deliver gasoline to the stations here in Florida. When the stations get low some people get watered down fuel. What you are describing sounds like that. Get some good fuel treatment/injector cleaner and it should clear up.
+uck moo Thanks uck moo, great suggestions!!
+Just in a Van "Thanks uck moo" Im going to start saying that to random people. uck moooo
Uck off!
On a 454 is it true ? If you switch 1and 8 plug wires to fix throttle hesitation? I don't recall the timing adjustment . Can someone please refresh my memory
If you're handy like that you should make your own K&N air filter intake. It'll boost your gas mileage and give you much more power. Or, if you're cheap and know you're going to be driving up and down steep hills on paved roads you can take the top off your factory air filter cover and turn it upside down for a nice boost.
+Jess B K&N is more hype than real world gain. I've fallen for them too, they sound nice on a V8 but really don't give you any measurable gain in power or mileage(I had one in my 2000 F150 for over 150,000 miles.) While they can give you a few extra HP at the top of the rev range, nothing is free, they do it by filtering less effectively and the extra power is not noticeable(outside of the placebo effect that is.)
In an RV you want reliability over anything else, as they aren't meant to be fast. Best bet is to keep it stock.
sandman x While I appreciate your opinion, I've also installed one on a vehicle that had a very restrictive air box. Immediately the sound of the engine was better, and I noticed a bit more power throughout the entire power band. I never measured the gas mileage to see a statistical gain but I did notice a bit of an increase. I would think that anyone who's driving a vehicle getting around 12mpg's would appreciate a gain. Especially if you're just driving on paved roads around the southern US. There's no reason not to. Especially on an older 360 like that.
+Jess B That's true it might help more on an older smog motor vehicle with restrictive intake. As far as being so much better to save the $50ish spent on the filter it probably doesn't make sense with less than $1.50 a gallon gas right now. Gas is going for around $1.30/gallon where I am near the Houston area.
As far as my situation, I bought my 2000 F150 5.4L new and switched to a K&N around 50K. I tracked the mileage every fillup for the first 100K and didn't see a statistical difference in the results. I did probably save more in air filter costs though, as it has 220K now and somewhat recently tossed the K&N for a traditional filter. Mileage is always 14-17mpg depending on how much highway driving there is on it.
As far as the 360, it's a very good motor. I've only owned it's smaller cousin, a 273CI in a 1969 Dodge Dart. The main reason not to get a K&N is it allows larger particles through which could wear out the engine sooner. It probably doesn't matter to the average driver, but as someone that doesn't mind well over 200K miles on a motor I prefer better filtering. Here is an article on filtering as an example: www.nicoclub.com/archives/kn-vs-oem-filter.html
+Jess B Thanks for the info guys, Although I'm handy, I'm not all that mechanically inclined, so I'd rather not make modifications to the mechanics in fear of screwing something up haha. Thanks Jess!
I have a Dodge B3500 Class B too. That engine looks like it could use a set of plugs and spark plug wires too. And a rotor, cap, and PVC valve. Since it is a pain to pull the doghouse engine cover a lot gets missed on these trucks. Looks like it has been in a humid salt water environment what with all the corrosion. Get a can of WD-40 : -)
if this was eric it would be like; omg its over....i guess i will be just static...omg can you help me with some money..''
Lol. Nomadic Fanatic
i have a 95 GMC vandura it sputters when i mash on the gas but when i slowly apply the gas peddle no issues, distributor cap has been replaced spark plugs and wire and battery, so what could b the problem
Robert Minatrea did you ever fix the problem I have the same issue
I have same problem,same 95 vandura 5.7. Did you ever figure it out?
Good for you. Hope it solves your issues.
+Jack Earl Thanks Jack!
If you manage to save some money, I would suggest you invest on installing recent years Ram engine in this thing. I think it's worth doing that since the van is in very good shape.
Yea from a rt 10 lol
Just in a Van, UBBERTANKER would you buy a 1985 Dodge Ram Van with 52,000 miles on it, though it hasn’t been driven in 8 years? Tie-rods might be a problem the guy said, but it wouldn’t get from Ohio to Utah. He says it’s in good condition and wants $1,200. The transmission is an automatic. Also how hard would fixing a van from the 80’s to 90’s be doing it yourself with no experience and with just the repair manual? Thanks!
Good job! And good video too! Take care xxx
+Jessamy Goddard Thanks Jessamy!
How fix it in car with electronic throth body?
Nice 👍
Good job Justin!
+Tony M Thanks Tony!
Hesitation ...means the engine combustion goes lean... u have injection or carb ??? ....there is a restriction in the fuel ....There could be many reasons for hesitation , and Engines degrade slowly with many things that degrade. What is the vacuum at idle , fuel pressure , air filter condition , fuel pressure, maybe bad fuel and water in fuel tank ...spark plugs need to be regapped ...
+Dave Webster all great suggestions... Thanks Dave, I haven't had the problem since, so It was either bad gas, or the ignition coil that I replaced... But if it occurs again, I now know what to look for... Thanks again!
"That I'm no... unable to do"
I hear you did that before... not a good time
I've been having similar issues lately, what year/make is your van and how has it been since you replaced the ignition coil 2 years ago?
Great video, very helpful
flip your air cleaner lid upside down after you clean it will also help your mileage gets more air.
+Gerry Reed Thanks for the info Gerry!!
Might also have some cracked plug wires. That'll make it sputter to. Might as well replace those while you're at it.
+Brad Haas Wires should be good... I just replaced them before I left on the trip. But that's a good suggestion... Thanks Brad!
That engine needs some tlc!
good vid man.
GREAT JOB!
Nice job, great to be mechanically inclined. Great DIY. When you going to be down around Fort Myers Beach?
+Daniel Southcomb I'm not sure, looking at the map I'd probably be up around there within a month or so??
Dude you look a lot like Tom from Blink 182 !
good fix it is not always as easy as we might think at least it wasn't to expensive of a fix where are your future destinations
+Rob Steinhauer Thanks Rob!! I'm not exactly sure, but I'll be heading down south towards Miami. Just planning as I go :D
Like the Millennium Falcon.
you don't have to drop the gas tank. Just cut a hole in the floor of the van and you will have access
What is this “coil” called? I think mine needs replacing but I don’t know what it’s called. Thanks
OliverD642 ignition coil
PLEASE HELP!!! We have a 95 S10 chevy blazer, my husband is completely stumped which scares me because he knows his ish....we have replaced the fuel pump 3 times in the past 6 months or so, he just put a new one on 2 days ago and while he was driving at work tonight all the sudden it started stumbling and wouldn't go over 10 mph. So now here we sit again completely clueless as to what's happening. It idles smooth but is hesitating on acceleration. We have put Autozone fuel pumps on, which I am getting mixed reviews about now. ANYTHING you can tell us to help would be very appreciated. If we don't figure this out soon we will lose everything because that truck is our money maker, we have kids, my husband is a driver so the truck is key to our survival......we need help!!! Thanks In Advance :)

Good job 👍
Is that a new van ?
Damn dude your motor rides shot gun.
nice job!
great job
+DAVID CONKLIN Thanks Daved!!
It's all because of fuel pump just change it n you done good luck...
nice work did you have ur seat belt on ?
+JOHNNY EXPLORES I can't recall... but I think/hope so!!
With a new coil now you running in all the cy(all the time) more power more gas miles..! saving gas..!
+Manolo Vicencio Sweet!!! Thanks Manolo!
HELP me plz!! .. when theTPS sensor orMAF bad it does to take RPM down on 1 RPM it happen when I got 40 km with 2.5 RPM ?? and start Hesitation with poorly Acceleration??g
skyline77780 what??
Nice quick fix. Awesome.
+RVing Illustrated Thanks RV Illustrated!
good job....
+1pilotsteve Thanks Steve
The best you should clean your IAC valve
What part of Florida are you in now?
+scott FOSS I'm bouncing around palm springs/west palm springs. I like it here :D
Dirty oil can add to this problem, my point of view
there is no fuel filter in the tank,,, there may be a screen but the filter should be on the frame,,,, and you could of got some bad gas,,,, so it sounds like a fuel problem,,,or filter problem,,,, or you damaged a spark plug wire when you replaced them,,,,
+William Gasior Thanks for the suggestions William!! I appreciate all the help I can get!!
put another gas filter along the fuel line
also isopropyl drygas ,i'm sure you got bad gas along your travels- hey we all get bad gas now and then ya know? but now your van may so walmart has this and it's a good idea to keep this cheap and small container or two onboard when she starts burbing and farting - remember that's what gas does to ya!
+Nomadic Society lol... thanks for the info Nomadic!!
I hear Canadian accent.
Probably would not hurt to put some sea foam in it also.
+Jason Lee Thanks Jason!
I'm surprised you bought that rust bucket, seems rather dangerous ?
nice job! :)
+penguin chick Thanks Penguin Chick.
We heard everything but new sparkplugs , mayB we missed it . Put sum neverseze on those new screews
+Tracy James Tavares You're right, I pulled a few plugs and they looked clean so I just left them in. That may have been a mistake, but it seems to be running good now. So, I'll just keep my fingers crossed for now!!
Plugs R cheap . We carry spare set , just save old 1s n clean em good
Lucas injector and upper cylinder lube.
+Scott E Thanks Scott!
Just in a Van no problem. Also next oil change wouldn't hurt to use the oil stabilizer. Brings more oil to the top of the motor for better lube.
Dodge and not chevy thats what's wrong w it. If it were a chevy it would have the coil right In the cap it's all one unit distributor cap rotor wires coil everything is in the same.place w that system there the coil is more exposed to.weather and also the separate coil wire can fail as well they do make a replacement distributor made from.the bottom.half dodge amd the top half Chevy they work pretty good too same.for.ford
WELL IF IT HAPPENS AGAIN YOU COULD CHECK YOUR EGR VALVE... MY LINCOLNS DOING THE SAME THING AND A RUclips VIDEO SHOWED A TON OF BLACK SUET INSIDE OF IT. =0 }
+sthwestb Thanks for the info sthwestb! I'll add that to the things to check if it continues...
Check the resistance of your spark plug wires. If over 12,000 ohms change them.

Cant you cover that thing up muffle that noise
invest in a basic scanner that you can read data PID's with, it will save you the money you spend on it quick. no more part swapping till the problem stops

You in fort Lauderdale
When I floor it from a dead stop it hesitates it’s a 350 and it only happens when I floor it from a dead stop
I also have a sbc and have the same issue. Did you ever figure it out?
that engine sounds like shit get yourself home soon
