You showed it I watched your video over and you did show us that Variable Valve Lift solenoid that apparently was the problem and you fixed it. I’ll have to try it on mine I’ll keep y’all posted. Thank you so much my friend. God Bless you.

Now this was a kick ass video dude. I be wanting to do videos like this but because I see this all the time, its hard for me to go through the testing steps you was doing. I find myself going straight to the problem and by doing that it destroys the suspense. Lol. (But thats great for the viewers). Thats why I have mad respect for independent techs that work on multiple brands. Im more impressed with that scan tool and those options that I was seeing. Very similar to dealer stuff

Hey... you getting all the views. People don't care about watching diagnosing 🤣 . You doing something right!

[@Traeishim38]

fantastic video thanks for taking the time helps a lot .

[@craigthelak]

Great video! Thanks man. I was stumped and was able to fix it in 20 minutes.

[@dazekiel]

This video was a lifesaver. How often do you come across somebody diagnosing an identical vehicle with identical symptoms? 10 minutes at the parts counter and 10 minutes under the hood and my car is fixed. Thank you so much for sharing.

Good video

I have a 2015 dodge durango same issue but I don't see that solenoid in that spot...I thought the engines are the same 3.6

[@michaelmcclain3646]

So it’s was the Variable valve lift solenoid????

[@DJ-tn7vj]

Time to bust out the scope😊

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

Done these usually bad valve or crack in head 🙁 but it could be bad roller rocker worn down cam

[@partsshooter]

Cool.... but the thing is, there was no mechanical noise or low oil pressure, so I overlook the cam and rocker. When I pull a valve cover on one in the future, I'll inspect the VVL housing. I never thought they could crack!

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

@@partsshooterstill watching for what is causing it . Never seen a ecu or TIPM cause misfire on just one cylinder 🤔

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

@@partsshooterwith the roller rockers they start out early as a ticker. But it’s ignored then it finally goes away as the roller bearings fall out it basically is riding over cam without bearing and still give the valve a little lift for awhile. Then it finally wears down to point of misfire. All this with no mechanical noise. Crazy I know

[@michaelmcclain3646]

What was the problem of the misfire?? Was it the rocker arm??? I have a 2020 Dodge Durango GT with code P0301 misfire in cylinder #1 changed all coils and plugs I still have same code after clearing code but it comes back after putting a load on motor auto /start/ stop light comes on then the check engine light . I cut the engine off and all lights go off and runs normal after restarting. Please help….,
