In a previous video https://youtu.be/5UpsGup-kI4 I showed you the process I use diagnosing a bad fuel injector on this 3.8 liter Jeep Wrangler. I got the green light on the job and wanted to show a small part of that process. The confirmation. -Enjoy!

    Thanks I have the same thing on a express van and as much fun as it is to get to the injectors to change one I am going to change all of them with GM injectors, if one went bad another may not be far behind.

    great job EO very good diagnosis

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars braydin jones says:

    Literally the exact same thing happened on my moms jeep. Wonder if itโ€™s a common problem.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Outdoors Man says:

    Good video. I got lost in the electrical diag part but I'm new to this

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars accordingly says:

    Just wanted to drop by for my first comment. Have always been a gear head that has shied away from the big bad electrical work.

    Rewind to three months ago, I work for an auto manufacturer and recently transferred departments from production to repairs. Your videos 100% gave me the confidence to jump right in the deep end. Iโ€™m currently a specialist in electrical repair now and loving it!

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kasual Skeptik says:

    Heating a component in electronics generally increases its resistance.. So, your 14 ohms will go up to 16-20 ohms potentially… That cuts the current by 30% – 40%…

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Phil Phil says:

    Good man.

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Bruner says:

    Would it not be โ€œminus the leads ohmsโ€.

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Alan Torrance says:

    Thanks!

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars dave taulker says:

    I truly appreciate you guys and all of your videos my friend.

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jorge fernandez says:

    I hope you feel better soon. I know I feel better watching your videos because they are very informative as well as entertaining. I have learned alot from watching your diagnostic methods and I want to say Thanks! Keep them coming. Have the Mrs make you some soup or other dish to make you feel better.

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars slant6guy says:

    Immediately, there's the problem: ChryCo. 3.8L minivan v6 and NOT the 4.0L AMC inline six ;]
    Cool multi-meter use as a lot of DIY / shade-tree mechanics don't use one…this video is very informational & thanx for having this here!

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars anonymous George says:

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Anthony Barbee says:

    Great job as always love your videos

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars LadyAnuB says:

    Eric, you need a stint in California as a technician as a break. Cars without rust. Cars with easy lives. We'll get you a spa day as well.

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars BANA AHLAHAYAM says:

    Can you please recommend a mechanical or mechanic shop in Cleveland Ohio or somewhere close who's as good as you are

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars MIKE CONT says:

    Great videos…thank for 2nd conclusion video

    Closure is always important. A finished task is fulfilling to body, mind and soul

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars M says:

    Eric, the thin LED light on the bottom of the hood by the washer hose….Who makes that one ? Part number ? Thanks and love your work ethic.

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Josh Crocker says:

    Impressive

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Doug H. in VA says:

    He is the real deal in a top level mechanic…. he uses the monitors and clues collected by electronics really well (beyond what most fellows can follow). Keep this guy making videos to help ordinary fellows realize a car is a machine and not magic at all.

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Donnie Robertson says:

    Great job and video like always

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Thanh-Danh Ho says:

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars สŽpฤฑzzฤฑสŒ uษฅoษพ says:

    As a fellow mechanic of 45 years, I must say that I appreciate your honesty, openness, and thoroughness, as well as your intelligent approach to each problem you encounter. Thank you for the extra effort you have put into your work to produce these videos. That in itself is a very time consuming job, let alone diagnosing and repairing these vehicles.

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Richard. D says:

    Thanks for the follow up once again learned something new, wish I could afford to take my car to a shop as good as yours if I had to, most of the time fixing it myself LOL or attempting to. My nephew works on cars He got one from a shop, the owner drove it in with a misfire, they toke the valve cover off said the motor needed to be replaced charged them 500 for the work they did and then offered them scrap price for the car which was ridicule's the car is in great shape. Also the car had to be towed to my nephews they broke the cover when they ripped it off. There was no point in figuring out what they were trying to do when they toke the cover off dropped bits and piece's in the cylinder and most have rolled it over walls are damaged now to a point of no return. Owner is getting another motor from a junk yard. ounce again thank for doing these video's. I enjoy everyone

    P.S My dad was a heavy diesel mechanic- LOL I am not- can work on cars but hate doing it, but I do what I got to do.

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mervyn Sweeney says:

    Yes lad.. keep her lit to the tit, I am a new viewer and find your videos top notch ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘ I'm just starting out and find your videos are really helping me, hope your feeling better, looking forward to more videos
