23-03-2019 will there be any wiring diagrams?
It would be nice if you had a low cost option for non-professionals, limiting them to info for one specific car.

I think the hardest part about fuel trims for most people to understand is that positive and negative relate to the fuel itself. Positive is adding FUEL and negative is taking away FUEL. When you relate it to rich and lean though it seems opposite. Rich, which is usually too much fuel, would have a negative fuel trim. Lean, which is usually not enough fuel, would be positive fuel trim. Once it clicks it becomes much easier to understand.
So, so true. I have just had it explained by the best and, just when i think iv'e got it! Failure again, it's the opposite of what i understand it to be.
Well said
💯💯💯
Exactly!
One of the best Diagnostic Technicians on RUclips. Thumbs up for another great video.
Thanks Richard 👍
@@Diagnosedan He is right. Here in the states, we have Mitchell, Snap-on, and few other nation wide repair databases, but I would trust Snappy over Mitchell. I like to hear of your program, because you think unlike most mechanics, just like the rest of SOME of us. It is nice to see passion. Most guys (as you know) misdiagnose, and we have ALL had them, but to be more accurate, is ALWAYS the goal for the passionate ones. In closing, do you have database coverage for automotive platforms in the states??
Another great video, thanks!!
Dan looks for the reason with understanding the system. Throwing parts at it has never worked.
Best explanation of fuel trims that I’ve run across. The background starting with carburetors and the well paced progression to modern fuel injection was just perfect! You are one of those rare individuals who can structure a lesson flawlessly. I wish that my college professors were as talented as you are!
I know....he has very real talent in teaching.
You really are a great guy Dan, great teacher and an insane amount of knowledge you have
Thanks John❤️
Explaining things clear and understandable, you are doing it!
Thanks!
Not only did you explain it well, you presented it very thoroughly. Excellent!
23-03-19 Dan you are the MAN !!!! thanks for teaching us!!
Yet another great video from DD, love to watch them. Very clear and easy going, calm and explains well. very interesting stuff as well. Any chance you could make a short video of your tech tools, with a quick explanation of their pros and cons?
Looking forward for your next video, and great to see you are doing well.
thanks Dan. I dont work on my cars a lot so reviewing your videos really helps.
That was the quickest and fastest shave I've ever seen! :)
I know a few ladies from Argentina who grow their pubic hair as soon as winter starts and as soon as spring again everything will be neat and smooth again !!
The Magic of video 🤣
Wish I knew those ladies I’d trim them free of charge
It was only a trim!!
Great to see a new DD video! Thanks for the great explanation of fuel trims!!!
My pleasure!
best video on fuel trim ,this time i understud this fuel trim, Thanks,God bless you,you are a treasure for this tech diagnose sector!
I love your electronics wisdom and knowledge you are absolutely a legend
Thank you for this. I've been looking for explanation of these fuel trims and this just did the job perfectly well
23.3.2019.
Ty man, learning so much.
I never knew this was so simple. You really made it very simple for anyone you to understand it. I kept pushing back learning about it as I felt it may be complex
On the early FI GM cars it was called block learn and integrator. Before that on the 3C carburetors the ideal number was 28-32 at idle. So many cars would come into the shop with low float levels and idle mix screws off that we’d have to do a set them up all over again. We would adjust for the 28-32 using idle mix screws and the MC solenoid upper and lower limit as well as travel distance between the two on the metering control rods. A tiny bit higher float level would help the cars have really good acceleration at full throttle when the 4 barrel secondary metering rods would get pulled up.
So far schrodingersbox has the best explanation for fuel trims, waiting for your video :)
After the video, Dan going to have the best explanation for fuel trims 🤣
Yes I agree. Schrodingersbox has a series of videos that are really good and go into more depth than Dan did in this video.
Yes, RUclips is a great source of knowledge and there are some very gifted people on it!
Most basic possible explanation of trims- hardly any "meat" on the bone. Does a great job, as usual, presenting a topic and explaining it
Thank you dan!! You explained fuel trims alot better that my instructor!

23-03-2019
Thank you Dan for your videos ❤️
😁👍
Thank you for clear my doubts about fuel trims
Hi Dan! Thank you for posting such a great and educational content! I wish you very best and for your family!
One idea for video topic - Car electric schemes and how to read them/approach them.
Thanks for you comment 👍 i've got a long to do list and i'll add wiring diagrams to that!
23.03.2019...thanks again for your work. The day starts great with your video.
That's great to hear!
Very clear explanation, thank you for that! I was wondering since yet some time what short-term & long-term fuel trim referred to. Enjoyed the reference to a carburetor, though imho most carburetors were somewhat more tricky to adjust than in your exemple.
I was wondering whether the short-term & long-term fuel trim idea also applies to diesel engines (I guess yes) and how to look for it with VCDS (say on a 1.4l diesel 9N3 Polo). If you or someone else here has the answer, please let me know.
Once again thank you for the quality content and for educating me!
Thanks for watching Serban
23/03/19. Another amazing video, I have learnt so much from watching these great videos you make, thank you.

Thank you so much DiagnoseDan! Now I can explain it to my son who is interested in taking over my place as a mechanic.
Are you a mechanic?
That's great!
already waiting for it!
Thank you 💪
Great video, Danny!
The fuel trims are one of the most helpful diagnostic values!
You are right!
I am at an age where I trained on carbs and banks of carbs on cars and bikes so this is easy for me to understand.
Trying to bring my knowledge up to date the hardest problem is understanding the terms.
I had heard the term " fuel trim " a few times but now understand it's just what we called mixture.
23-03-19.....Love the explanation DD! Fuel trim understanding is so critical to good diagnosis these days.
You are right!
now i understand what means short and long term trim.And what is negative and positive add.
Thank you again Dan 👍🏻
I caught the mouse!
Understanding the fuel trim is the basis for the correct diagnosis of automotive engine malfunctions.
This mouse confused me so much!
Thanks Dan.
Thanks for the video Dan!
😁👍
Considered myself educated on fuel trim Dan your instruction where easy to follow big thumbs up :-)
That's great to hear! Thanks for watching 👍
Thank you for the simple explanation Dan. Car first reg on the 23/03/2019. Keep those quality videos coming please. Stay safe, stay healthy, kind regards from Galway, Ireland 😉👍
I have visited Galway, i had a great time!
@@Diagnosedan Next time you head this way shout out in advance 😉👍
Thank you for sharing. Great video.
Thanks for watching Mike!
MY DEAR FRIEND, WE WISH CHRIST IS RISEN AND EVERY FAMILY HAPPINESS. I AM AN ENGINEER FROM GREECE AND I WATCH YOUR VIDEOS.YOU HAVE REALLY HELPED ME VERY MUCH IN THE DIAGNOSIS OF TROUBLES. CONTINUE TO GIVE US YOUR KNOWLEDGEI WILL WATCH YOUR VIDEOS WITH CARE. SORRY BUT I DO NOT SPEAK ENGLISH SO I TRANSLATE MY TEXTS .CONTINUE THE GOOD WORK YOU ARE DOING. THANK YOU VERY MUCH. DIMITRIS GREECE.
This was so helpful. Thank you for this video.
Brilliant lesson, keeping an open mind is always key, in the 90 s a customer complained about poor fuel economy on a vehicle under warranty, it was also factory dual fuel, (LPG) after checking fuel trims there was no evidence of excessive fuel consumption on petrol, but having faith in customer it turned out OEM was allowing petrol to be injected whilst on LPG TO cool the cylinders and exhaust valves but it did not show and there was no technical release of this in any literature, only after my persistent harassing the tech support did they admit to it and release a TSB stating this
Great job!
23.03.2019 Another superb video Dan, great to have you back.

Great service you have created, Dan! Always big thanks for educational videos, they are fantastic. One thing I wanted to suggest: DDTSB is meant for shops with various clientele to help with diagnosis and tech support. It would be great if there was a limited subscription to DDTSB for us home users and DIY'ers. We may not need access to immediate tech support, but educational videos as well as access to things to help us diagnose our own cars would be immensely helpful. And we will also be contributing something to this great system. Thanks again!
Thanks for the feedback, but we have desided not to do this.
You deserve millions of subscribers and likes. 👍🏻

First reg. date 01-05-2019
Thanks for your great job.
You are awesome 👍🏻
👍ddtsb. What a plethora of information
Diagnose Dan = The Man. Your DDTSB sounds really good.
For awhile I had a hard time undertaking fuel trims till a drive tech I worked with explained it super easy…..
He said pretty much “short” fuel trim are like instant fuel mileage and “long” term is average fuel mileage ..
Typically when there’s a check engine light on from too rich or too lean it’s because the computer can’t compensate anymore and there’s a problem…-25 to +25 is typically the range ….
Thanks for sharing Dan... Wish you the best of success with DDTSB. Cheers.
Thank you very much 👍
