When these 2 talk, you listen and absorb their knowledge like sponge. I had 2 teachers like scanner danner and I learned a TON from the Oldskool, These 2 are beast in the mechanic field, pick up on that and use it to smash on life God Bless.
Just a country boy that tries to keep his old fords runnin without new wave tools. Thanks so much for takin the time to do this. Now I did hear a bit of frustration from someone buttin in. But thanks to both yall.
I love that you two know each other! I have been watching Eric for years now and recently found Paul, because I have an issue. Was crank, no start and now is suddenly a no start. Trying to figure it out...found this video. So cool!
I like the fact they show you different ways to diagnose problems if the more advance tools aren't available, understanding systems and how they work are your best tool you can have. Your approach with that knowledge determines your next move. Throwing parts at an issue can be time consuming and a waste of money if the problem isn't solved.
I feel like ScannerDanner talks in laymen to the educated, while Eric talks in laymen to the uneducated. Both have their purposes, but for me Eric makes it a million times easier to check and work on my car problems. Thanks for the videos!
Thank you Scanner and Eric... This was the problmen with my F-150. Left me high and dry in the Home Depot parking lot.Un-fortunently I could NOT dissamble the distributer in the parking lot... :( Couldn't figure out how to do it. So I bit the bullet and replaced the whole distributor. But I did have an extra pick up cable an got my spark when connected...Thank you so much for getting me in the correct spot.
I used that trick way back in 1985 I had a Chrysler laser 2.2 turbo . It started by losing power but it would restart . I started by removing the hall effect and on a 2.2 engine its 5 min job. I ran a metal strip and it would only make a weak spark . So even if it gives a spark it may be a low spark . I learned it from my day in the 70s . He was a master mechanic.
Thank you for responding. I was happy to see it in your video. It represents the rank insignia of the Navy Chief Petty Officer. The Chief earns their rank with years of hard work, demonstrating the strongest knowledge within their rating, as well as great leadership skills. It is wonderful you remember your Dad with an acknowledge Military tribute to the Navy Chief Petty Officer. Thank you and I thank your Dad for his service to his country. Bediasman (U.S. Navy retired)
Id like to say thank you for this video! I have a 92 ford f150 4.9 that I had a no spark about a month ago. I threw parts at it. New pcm ,new fuel pump,fuel pressure regulator ( dont ever buy a harbor freight fuel pressure tester) fuel filter,and then finally a new icm. Well it died on me a few weeks later.. no spark. Well instead of throwing parts at my truck you helped me diagnose it properly. Failed brand new icm. Thank you sir!!!! Also icing on the cake is that you're a brother in Christ! Definitely subbing!
Great video. I like the reference to the hall effect switch even though it may be intimidating to novice mechanics, it is necessary to talk the talk and really, to further their research into components. The conversation relating to test lights and simple stuff as where to place ground leads is invaluable. Keep up the good work.
Hello Eric, saw this great video with you and Paul. My 1990 Ford F150 4.9 is giving me problems to start it in the morning, I have to pump it some 35-50 times before I could start it, after that it would start with no problems. Before it would start with no problems, but now this is what I need to fix. Thank you.
Another great ETCG and SD class. Cant stress enough the importance of getting a great foundation understanding of cars functional systems and how to properly and ACCURATELY diagnose. Anyone can guess and through parts but professional Techs know to detect the root cause of problem and why it failed.

These two guys are the best at the knowledge in the automotive business
I'm just getting back into auto work and I'm learning more about the electrical issues vehicles encounter MR Danner is by far the best in his field of expertise. in just a couple of short weeks in now looking in my Haynes books and looking at electrical charts. never in my life have I been interested in electrical work but now I almost want someone to go out to my car and create a problem so I can go out and try to figure it out . thanks to all you great tecs for your knowledge
I like this format of ScannerDanner being all technical and ETCG playing the average Joe. Like somebody else has said, you guys should do more videos like this - they cater to both demographics.
Dude your amazing. I love how you keep asking questions to make it so much simpler and dumbing it down because I’ve seen about 10 other videos and I always get lost but as you went along I actually understood everything. Keep it up man.
I like both of you technicians.. Not mechanics as the insulting word. Technicians... I'm subscribed to both of you, and the knowledge I'm learning just made my life easier. School doesn't teach u everything, it's the experiences redundantly that prepares for answers.
Damn danner slow down just when I thought I was catching up with you I find out you're 10 light-years ahead of me. I will follow this awesome teacher until the end of time.
I have a 96 F-150. Same situation. The wire from the ECM to the distributor is a shielded wire that after time will break down (shielding) due to heat. When it does the wire shorts out and there is no signal -- no ignition -- no start. This is a Ford service bulletin that the Ford dealer that charged me $600.00 missed. It was an independent garage that finally fixed it.
Danners book is as good as it gets on Automotive Driveabilty and Electronic Control Diagnostics. I have it and compared to about 50 other books I have bought on the subject it is way above the rest. It is so well laid out and thorough yet clear and concise. Well worth the price and his videos that go along with it make it even clearer. Get it today. Eric brother keep up the great videos for the pros and beginners. God bless.
My test at the pip was 60.4mv,?? What the heck. I have no spark. I'm guessing it's the ICM. I'll keep going through the process.good video. Well, it was the ICM.. put new one in and fired right up.. this no start issue gave me plenty of time to upgrade electrical and other stuff while it was down.. great video guys, I know it's many years later.
Eric and Paul are such a good guy who teach mechanics a lot for free thanks you guys MAY GOD BLESS YOU YOUR WORK AND KEEP YOU IN GOOD HEALTH AMEN THANKS..
Great work you two. I had this same exact problem. I used a LED to see the trigger signal instead of my multimeter and that made it easy to see the trigger pulses at idle. Super cheap ! Love that T pin idea for clipping onto with meter lead.
You guys are so helpful I've been trying so hard to get this 1982 f150 with a 1972 300 inline 6 4.9 l engine. I'm having a crank no start as well I'm new to odometers so I'm gonna try these tests tomorrow
Brother Brian, You have the best video that I have found online, but I'm still missing something in this very easy chore that wasn't a problem for me at all just a few years ago when I changed my 94 4x4 with the single rear tank with ease. A few years later, now at the rotten age for me it seems of 60 I'm struggling something horrible at changing both pumps in my 1995 2wd due to a crazy array of wire colors (that Ford went way overboard with) making color coding this task completely impossible. In short, I've watched your video a couple of times now, and it's hit me right between the eyes that the best way to figure this out is to set the new and old pumps with the cover for the 4 wires in the same directions and to lay the pin connectors in also the same direction as one to the other old vs new then pay close attention as to clockwise or counter and solder the new pigtail on quick before we change our minds . I think this would make a much better schematic and get the task over with way quicker than even talking about wire colors that came off of a Ford assembly line where job one must have been to be color blind from the get go . As for the 2 fuel lines go if someone is able to mix those up, the pump needs to be exchanged for another one because it's totally f cked up if that's a possibility. Thanks for taking the time to make the video young feller. I appreciate it
Eric Sir. Your video is a greatly appreciated, easy to follow and understand video, made for the average person to understand. Your breakdown of your guest's explanations were necessary for us to grasp his technical explanations. Thank you. It def will help me out with VERY SIMILAR situation with my 92 Taurus-373,000 miles!! =)) PLEASE CONTINUE THESE GREAT VIDEOS. Thank you for your dedication to this new era of education...RUclips.
Eric the car guy and Scanner Danner, I really love your videos. You guys have been helping me a lot! I am an international student studying automotive service technology at Joliet Junior College. It's amazing to see how fast the vehicle industry is changing. Keep up the good work you make a good team!!!
Paul and Eric, Your videos together are the best. Would like to see one were it is live and you don't now the fix yet. I would like to share with you on ford no starts, Turn key on and look for a check engine light. Then crank engine over, if the computer is receiving a PIP/crank signal the check engine light will go off. Also you could check injection pulse with a noid lite. no spark no injection pulse-look for PIP signal missing.
Great VId Eric, I had a 1980 F150 4x4 long time ago...that I also ran into a no start issue on a very cold day in Idaho. We drug it in out of the cold so to warm it up to figure out what the prob was....long story short it ended up sheering the roll pin on the distributer gear so causing a no spark issue.
Thanks for the video , every year my truck gets older the more I like it. 1995 Ford F150 300 I6. Not a mechanic , you guys are appreciated. Liked & subscribed
Awesome video on electrical diagnosis. Wanted to share a recent rv rental incident that i touched positive terminal to nearby metal in trying to reset the computer for check engine light. After that millisecond touch and a spark the rig won’t start. It’s a 2013 Mercedes sprinter 3500 diesel. I was told the communication and fuel module fried. I wish I could diagnose and fix the no start. Had to rent a car and leave rv there for towing to a dealership. Electrical diagnosis and fix seems crucial for mechanics.
haha no way dude. I am no where near his ability and knowledge. He is awesome! I am going to a GDI class he is teaching in September. Best instructor I have ever had the pleasure of listening too.
You two work great together. I have watched both ETCG1 and scannerdanner videos and prefer it when you are working together. Because we get the Homer Simpson explanation behind the Einstein theory.
Excellent captivating video. I learned a great deal. I like the format of two smart guys playing a role. It appears that you didn't really know what the broken item was ahead of the video, so it was especially convincing.
I agree. The operative word is 'playing', since both Eric and Paul are brilliant. Eric is pushing Paul to drop the jargon, which is confusing to those of us who don't have formal or recent academic training. By doing that, he makes the video more broadly useful and appealing.
The best! I finally learned what PIP means in this case. Its the best of both worlds here betwen the two of you. I had fun and learned exponentially to understand whats happening with this tye of older Hall effect ingnition system.
Seems as if I misread your body language. it's all good. I learn a lot from both of you guys and I am sure plenty of others do as well. I came across you and your channel through Eric who I watch on a regular basis as I do your as well. I learn a lot.
I love scanner danner when he do things like testing without al his fancy scanners and scoops. I dont have those things at home and this way i learn how you can do all of your testing without those fancy things. Great vid Eric, thx for this. I have learnd a lot today.
Thanks for all the very useful info and procedures you give for finding the problem and how to fix it! I've found them useful for many diagnosing and repairs. On top of that, you cover a lot of different problems that people have with their autos.!
Great clip guys I've been trying for months to try and get my 95f250 straight 6 to start and run now I see some hope I'm a sienior on ss last mechanic made it run worse almost didn't make it home now it won't even start it ran good but the starter was bad i ll try what eat I've learned from you thank
Disconnect the SPOUT wire plug and adjust the base timing. On the TFI setups where the module is bolted to the side of the distributor, some dielectric grease needs to be applied before the module is bolted up. The Profile Ignition Pickup(pip) is Pin 56 if I remember right. I actually enjoy working on these older fords, especially the 460cid. Extremely easy concepts are demonstrated in this video, and this is the correct way of going about a no spark condition on this type of ignition system.
@Bediasman thanks for your service too my friend and for the info. on that piece, it really means a lot. i don't have much to remember him by. i was six months old when he died.
Wow! This two guys are both knowledgeable. To all aspect of troubleshooting....i like the way how u check the circuit in a simple way. Thumps up both of u guys👍👍👍👍....
thanks for all of the positive feedback. just one correction for some of you. my name is Paul. Its ok though, with a last name Danner i get Dan all the time:-)
Eric my 96 is a 4.9 300 u can start up the truck drive to where you have to go with no issues the problem is the truck won't restart until the motor cool's back downv then u can start truck and it runs fine have you ever heard of such
Wow wow, guys that is great job it's really nice video thanks you are actually helping us students especially in African i have been watching your videos both of you guys i hope i will learn more from you.thanks.
When diagnosing, check obvious things first, spark, fuel, compression. etc. If the engine won't crank, check the battery, starter, relay, neutral switch, etc. Charge the battery and check for a drain. Test codes and spark. Check fuel pressure.
I love it when you two make videos together. Very entertaining and informative. So he CAN actually do diagnostics without a labscope. :P Keep it up guys you're awesome.
This video did help some I'm glad you made this video distraught would be a challenge for you and whoever else work on it my F-150 been through three shops $7,000 later still no run
FYI, while testing my current flip truck, another way to test is use the LED light just like he did, but crank at the same time. If it stays solid, PIP is bad, if it switches on and off, PIP is good

This is the best tutorial on the ford EFI I've yet to see. Thank you.
Plus it uses simple tools most of us should already have. Saves money.

10 years later this is helping me troubleshoot my crank no start. Thanks!
Finally after 2 years I found what is the problem on my f150. Thank you so much guys y’all earn a new subscriber.

Fantastic having Paul back for a vid. I have never seen Paul do a mechanical repair, seems electrical is where the money is. Well done Eric !!
I like the way Eric keeps Danner on track as he is inclined to digress quite a lot.
I like this format of ScannerDanner being all technical and ETCG playing the average Joe. Like somebody else has said, you guys should do more videos like this - they cater to both demographics.
I live in Puerto Rico in the Caribbean, I learn a lot from Scannerdanner, the best
Incredible mechanic. I idolize. Love the combo of the two of you, the technical knowledge and the simplified version! Subbed
I used to do this test since back in the 80's.. and still do it on to this day on some 90's Ford 's .. I did this test on the LTD Fords.
Dude your amazing. I love how you keep asking questions to make it so much simpler and dumbing it down because I’ve seen about 10 other videos and I always get lost but as you went along I actually understood everything. Keep it up man.

how do i get it
@@1nahuat It should be available on his website. It was for sale in both print and electronic format.

Eric and Paul are such a good guy who teach mechanics a lot for free thanks you guys MAY GOD BLESS YOU YOUR WORK AND KEEP YOU IN GOOD HEALTH AMEN THANKS..
Best two car repair video guys in the business. I watch you both all the time. Keep it up!
Great work you two. I had this same exact problem. I used a LED to see the trigger signal instead of my multimeter and that made it easy to see the trigger pulses at idle. Super cheap ! Love that T pin idea for clipping onto with meter lead.
Liked to thank you guys for your video. After 10 months trying to fix my truck. And did your test. Yep, it was the Distributor.
You guys are so helpful I've been trying so hard to get this 1982 f150 with a 1972 300 inline 6 4.9 l engine. I'm having a crank no start as well I'm new to odometers so I'm gonna try these tests tomorrow
Would compression around 80 be ok??? Or should I look at my pistons
very helpful to watch two guys who actually know what the hell is going on! I've got a 1994 F150 kickin' my butt and this helped a lot.
This dialogue was absolutely great teaching.
You guys keep making me late for work. I shouldnt watch in the mornings. Thanks for your experience. This stuff is so awesome.
ive been wrenching for 25 years, scanner danner is someone ill be keeping my eye on.
Can't believe you guys know each other. Amazing.
Brother Brian,
You have the best video that I have found online, but I'm still missing something in this very easy chore that wasn't a problem for me at all just a few years ago when I changed my 94 4x4 with the single rear tank with ease. A few years later, now at the rotten age for me it seems of 60 I'm struggling something horrible at changing both pumps in my 1995 2wd due to a crazy array of wire colors (that Ford went way overboard with) making color coding this task completely impossible. In short, I've watched your video a couple of times now, and it's hit me right between the eyes that the best way to figure this out is to set the new and old pumps with the cover for the 4 wires in the same directions and to lay the pin connectors in also the same direction as one to the other old vs new then pay close attention as to clockwise or counter and solder the new pigtail on quick before we change our minds . I think this would make a much better schematic and get the task over with way quicker than even talking about wire colors that came off of a Ford assembly line where job one must have been to be color blind from the get go . As for the 2 fuel lines go if someone is able to mix those up, the pump needs to be exchanged for another one because it's totally f cked up if that's a possibility.
Thanks for taking the time to make the video young feller. I appreciate it
Eric Sir. Your video is a greatly appreciated, easy to follow and understand video, made for the average person to understand. Your breakdown of your guest's explanations were necessary for us to grasp his technical explanations. Thank you. It def will help me out with VERY SIMILAR situation with my 92 Taurus-373,000 miles!! =)) PLEASE CONTINUE THESE GREAT VIDEOS. Thank you for your dedication to this new era of education...RUclips.
Eric the car guy and Scanner Danner, I really love your videos. You guys have been helping me a lot! I am an international student studying automotive service technology at Joliet Junior College. It's amazing to see how fast the vehicle industry is changing. Keep up the good work you make a good team!!!

It's great to see you guys working together years to come this video will be the ultimate classic already begin to be a classic. 👍
One of the most inportant in this vídeo is the good colaboration of that 2 Masters!! Thanks
Did you notice your pickup tuck did strength thinks before he don't start?
Great VId Eric, I had a 1980 F150 4x4 long time ago...that I also ran into a no start issue on a very cold day in Idaho. We drug it in out of the cold so to warm it up to figure out what the prob was....long story short it ended up sheering the roll pin on the distributer gear so causing a no spark issue.
I watched the video I did as you did my truck is now up and running! Thank you scanner Danner !
This was fun to watch. I like when different people get together like that. Cheerz
great to see you guys together.
Holy shit. I just realized I first watched this almost 9 years ago... Both Eric and Paul look so much younger!
Two giants in the field. Great vid guys.
This video helped me fix my 1996 F-150 5.0 I put in a new distributor and my truck is fixed. Thank you for sharing.
Thanks for the video , every year my truck gets older the more I like it. 1995 Ford F150 300 I6. Not a mechanic , you guys are appreciated. Liked & subscribed
I like both of you guys, for different reasons. I'm glad you're friends!
Awesome video on electrical diagnosis. Wanted to share a recent rv rental incident that i touched positive terminal to nearby metal in trying to reset the computer for check engine light. After that millisecond touch and a spark the rig won’t start. It’s a 2013 Mercedes sprinter 3500 diesel. I was told the communication and fuel module fried. I wish I could diagnose and fix the no start. Had to rent a car and leave rv there for towing to a dealership. Electrical diagnosis and fix seems crucial for mechanics.
Great Video; used it to check my No Start Bronco. Suspected the pick-up coil but did not know how to check it. Thank you very much.
Way cool video, two of my favorite car guys together diagnosing a no start. Good job guys
Your teaching is well absorbed and I really learned from just watching your videos. Love it will continue to watch your shows..
haha no way dude. I am no where near his ability and knowledge. He is awesome! I am going to a GDI class he is teaching in September. Best instructor I have ever had the pleasure of listening too.
You two work great together. I have watched both ETCG1 and scannerdanner videos and prefer it when you are working together. Because we get the Homer Simpson explanation behind the Einstein theory.

I'm no Einstein and Eric is certainly not Homer Simpson. But I know you did not mean that in a bad way :-)
Excellent captivating video. I learned a great deal. I like the format of two smart guys playing a role.

I love scanner danner when he do things like testing without al his fancy scanners and scoops. I dont have those things at home and this way i learn how you can do all of your testing without those fancy things. Great vid Eric, thx for this. I have learnd a lot today.
Fantastically informative! Really loved getting to understand how all that works and how to test it with my simple tools.
Thanks for all the very useful info and procedures you give for finding the problem and how to fix it! I've found them useful for many diagnosing and repairs. On top of that, you cover a lot of different problems that people have with their autos.!

The Paul and Eric Show: the future of automotive repair sitcoms.
its good you break this down and use tools the average keen green mechanic has and can identify with ...thanks guys...great vid Eric.
man i really love it when u guys team up,u guys should have your own t.v. show!!!!

Quality video guys.
Hey! Two of my favorite car guys , rolled into two brains are better than one video! thanks guys.
I have this exact model year F150 and 4.9L 6 cyl. engine. So now I have exact procedures for this test, no guess work. Thanks.
thanks for all of the positive feedback. just one correction for some of you. my name is Paul. Its ok though, with a last name Danner i get Dan all the time:-)
Eric my 96 is a 4.9 300 u can start up the truck drive to where you have to go with no issues the problem is the truck won't restart until the motor cool's back downv then u can start truck and it runs fine have you ever heard of such

Wow wow, guys that is great job it's really nice video thanks you are actually helping us students especially in African i have been watching your videos both of you guys i hope i will learn more from you.thanks.
When diagnosing, check obvious things first, spark, fuel, compression. etc. If the engine won't crank, check the battery, starter, relay, neutral switch, etc. Charge the battery and check for a drain. Test codes and spark. Check fuel pressure.
I love it when you two make videos together. Very entertaining and informative. So he CAN actually do diagnostics without a labscope. :P Keep it up guys you're awesome.
this was exactly the testing procedure ive been searching for. thank you very much fellas
You guys are amazing I cannot tell you how much I’ve learned watching your videos You are heroes to me Thank you so much
Well it's what myself and many others do want to know. This kind of information is extremely valuable.
Good teaching both of you keep up the good work , Johnny Estrada
This video did help some I'm glad you made this video distraught would be a challenge for you and whoever else work on it my F-150 been through three shops $7,000 later still no run
18:07 I liked how he felt sorry about saying "my field" . he's a good man, i mean both of you ^^.
Great video
FYI, while testing my current flip truck, another way to test is use the LED light just like he did, but crank at the same time. If it stays solid, PIP is bad, if it switches on and off, PIP is good
I love watching these two guys!!!
Absolutely the best video I’ve seen, very detailed. I do believe I can find my problem. Thank you
