    Great job Steve figuring out what your problem was after reading your scan tool. You saved yourself a lot of money shopping around for your parts and repairing it yourself. Cheers

      Just the diagnosis would be $150 so a bit of time spent at home is well worth it. Cheers Doug.

    How's she goin'? Nice fix here Steve!!! Cars these days are not a simple machine any more. Having a scan tool, if you plan on doing any kind of work on your vehicle, is a must have for sure. Thanks for showing us the troubleshooting method and the repair. Take care!!!

    Just wanted to thank you for your guidance. I kinda lucked out this morning, mine turned out to just be some corrosion causing the intermittent failure. Trying to attach pics to this response in the hopes it may help someone else. 2016 Cruze LTZ

    • @SteveRobReviews

      Hi Genio
      In my experience, a misfire, even an intermittent one does stress these coil packs . That is exactly how this coil reacted at first intermittent , then constant . This coil pack stumbled for two years only 3-4 times until I had to change it . Hopefully , you don't get another misfire, but if you do :)

    Good job Steve👍 C.O.P. ignition is great in the sense of one step removed in diagnostics not having spark plug wires.
    Rock Auto is a great online parts outlet as well for saving money!

    I purchased a low cost bidirectional scanner over a year ago. It has been great but I would not suggest for someone that is not somewhat familiar with vehicles. You can get yourself in a lot of trouble really fast.

I had a couple issues with the cruze mine is a 2ltr turbo charged diesel engine which is amazing regarding the power delivery anb all but recently my cruze went on limb mode and thought it might be the output speed sensor fixed it but turns out that it’s not the problem and my mechanic told it will be a gearbox issue and i have repaired my transmission which is on the way rn. So please let me know any face similar issues! Much appreciated and amazing video

    Great video Steve - I had a case were a PO300 misfire code was fixed with a spark plug change but admittedly I’m still uncertain when it’s a coil problem and when it’s just needing new plugs. My wife’s vehicle has a transversely mounted V6 and it’s suggested to move the three rear coils to the front as the rear of the engine gets hot - making the coils last longer. In your situation, I wonder if heat build up may have contributed to the misfire/coil problem? Thanks Steve, always something worthwhile watching on your channel, cheers

    • @SteveRobReviews
      @SteveRobReviews  2 года назад

      Coils are like plugs as they only go so far so hard access coils at 130k are best changed . Heat and moisture especially salt infused moisture sure affects the electronics . This one was easy to work on but some are a bear 😅😅 Cheers Ed

      There are two different cylinder designations - cylinder identification number and then there is cylinder firing order.

    I have an 11 1.4 eco. Stabiltrac/traction control and cylinder 2 misfire. Flashing cel. Ive changed the plugs, coil pack, ground wire from battery, all the injectors and im still having the same issue. Any clue or advice? Codes are p0299 and p0302. Turbo and cylinder 2 codes...could this happen due to the timing chain? Getting frustrated...

    • @ready2rise
      @ready2rise 16 дней назад +1

      @@SteveRobReviews true indeed! But yes unless I somehow got a faulty plug and coil pack I did check them. The parts I tried are the common diagnosis from others that had the same issues. I will say that the coil pack was from Amazon and definitely wasn't the acdelco variety. So I could reverify that one by getting another new one. Maybe I'll try that one again today and report back.

    • @SteveRobReviews
      @SteveRobReviews  16 дней назад

      @ready2rise I can't say aftermarket coil packs are junk but I've yet had a new faulty AC Delco coil pack. It's definitely fixable with looking at scan data and understanding how to interpret it all.

    The plastic on them gets brittle and breaks with age. Also a coil can die at any time.

    Buy the original GM coil pack. Those aftermarket’s will leave you at the side of the road!

    • @SteveRobReviews
      @SteveRobReviews  Год назад

      The Ac Delco coil pack seems to be working great . Buying origional parts that were installed at the factory in many cases are not available for the consumer. When I worked on the line at GM so many parts were only supplied to the factory and not even available at the dealer as they were given what would be an aftermarket part .
