Case Study: 2014 Infiniti Q50 No Start with an Engine Mechanical Issue
This case study is one of many presented in John Thornton’s “Asian Vehicle Diagnostic Case Studies” class. John diagnosed an Infiniti Q50 no start issue where the engine cranks strongly but does not start. Click below to see the full class details for “Asian Vehicle Diagnostic Case Studies 2023”

Fuel Trim Imbalance Case Study, presented by John Thornton
มุมมอง 38K4 ปีที่แล้ว
Within this fuel trim imbalance case study, John diagnoses an 07 Ford F150 5.4L that misfires badly to the point where it stalls at idle. This is one of many case studies from our “Diagnosing Fuel Related Driveability problems with Scan Data” video.

    There are multiple eccentrics per shaft correct?

    How does ethanol affect ECM/PCM fuel trim calculations? Does it require the same 14.7 ratio calculations or some other ratio? If so does the ECM/PCM sense whether the fuel is ethanol or gasoline and use a different ratio for ethanol? If the ECM/PCM assume gasoline is used and does not adjust for the use of ethanol what is the impact on air/fuel calculations and fuel trim outputs? How does this affect scanner outputs, rich, lean, etc.? Is there a YT video that addresses these questions? Bottomline: How does the ECM/PCM adjust for these two different fuel types with different optimum air/fuel ratios, or does it not, and what are the impacts on scanner readings and diagnosis? Again, is there a YT video that addresses these questions?

    All this waveform analysis is nice and all, but a vacuum gauge and back pressure gauge could have done the job. Volumetric efficiency testing too. Perhaps measuring inlet and outlet temperature of the catalytic converters?

    Fuel trims sometimes are not accurate, meaning not real, caused by defective or aftermarket or dirty or old OEM MAP or MAF sensors, like mine, the MAP sensor, which causes both fuel trims to be at 12 to 14 percent. I thought that I had a vacuum leak, but it was the aftermarket Delphi MAP sensor reporting wrong air flow or air pressure to the ECM, I just put back the OEM sensor and the fuel trim went down to 5 percent. I couldn't believe it, almost 10 percent extra, unnecessary fuel was injected into the cylinder, I don't know why oxygen sensors didn't report rich condition? And now I installed new OEM honda Denso bought from eBay, and the fuel trim went to zero percent now, sometimes 1 percent, sometime minus 1 percent sometimes 2 percent. I couldn't believe it. The initial issue was rough idle and sometimes engine misfire, and fibration, but it was the ignition electric connection wires that were loose at the aftermarket start button system. Basically, I created the problem over time by using a bad quick disconnect connector. I replaced the connector, and the problem partially solved: rough idle and misfire, but the fuel trim problem got fixed by installing the old OEM MAP sensor back.

    What's the difference between the PCM operating in closed loop with a fault vs open loop? If it's no longer listening/responding to the O2's input and just using stored values, isn't that just open loop?

    2008 Ford ranger V6 vulcan engine . LTFT Bank 1 was running negative -.8 at idle , would not change. LTFT on Bank 2 at idle was 9 percent. Drive down the highway both long term fuel trims were within acceptable limits, but press more on gas pedal #1 LTFT got more negative and # 2 LTFT got more positive. Checking the number 1 catalytic converter oxygen sensor B1S2 with the truck fully warmed up , it was found the sensor was exactly duplicating the upstream sensor, switching from .2 to .8 volts. Number 1 catalytic converter was obviously no good and partially obstructed as well.

    For anyone still reading comments on this video: If the O2 sensors are easy to access, I wonder if it would have been more efficient shop practice just to screw in a pressure gauge and compare the banks this way?
