Main dealers are hopeless, it's not the technicians fault but the lack of training they receive. Great job and a brilliant insight into old school repair techniques. Very well done.
The owner of this car is so lucky to have found you, I didn't realise there were such talented people like you out there. Could you imagine the cost of this repair if it had been taken to a main dealer! The cost of parts totalled about 5 pence but a main dealer would have fitted cam and clutch sensors and then a new ECU. The previous garage obviously had no clue and just replaced parts the computer reported as not working, which seems to be typical of today's garages where they rely on the computer and can't figure things out for themselves. Well done!
In my experience with manufacture “specialists” the only thing they have other than standard mechanical experience is a manufacturer’s OBD scan system. That’s why they made a b line for the clutch switch and why they started scratching their heads after they couldn’t find DME signals. That’s all their computer told them. Absolutely top notch diagnosis on your behalf
I've been watching your videos for a couple of months, and in every one , you solve the issue and you have shown me just what an amazing man you are , your understanding of electronics is astonishing. And what's most amazing is that you repair rather than replace, which is very unheard of today in this throw away world.this video .is the most amazing video I've ever watched. . Yet again you are amazing.thank you for sharing.
You, sir, are a genius. I am a motor trader and every auto electrician (including main agents) I have ever used has proven to be useless. I wish I could find someone like you. You have the potential to make a lot of money.
Great work. Very few auto electricians have this level of skill. Most ECUs have internal 5V reference chips that provide the voltage for the pull-up resistors. You'll probably find that this had failed on this ECU. It's a bit tricky to check of course with the ECU out of the car unless your have a test rig. Your fix is perfectly good and should last the life of the car.
I've gotta say to you. That's some job you've done. I've stripped an r50 for track racing, and fixed several faults on an R56 over the last few years. I've been in IT for 30 year, I've never have gone and done that (not though of that). I'd have just replaced the ECU. Good job.
Good systematic approach, a lot of shops I deal with constantly scan, replace parts hoping it will fix, if not they have no fundamental systems sequence for testing and so back out like the agent did. Many here outsource the too hard fixes. Forensic tech work is challenging and rewarding! Keep up the superb videos! One note on the beginning where you ignored throttle/pedal data check, I usually quickly check as I have had a few that had forced flood mode and disabled injectors
You are a true master. Humble and methodical. A bench test such as this should be the go to standard lesson for real world situations. Bravo 👏🏽 industry professionals look to you for results. Thankyou sir 💪🏽💪🏽💪🏽
I know this was a long time ago, but looking at the video.. I wonder if the chip inductor (small back component) feeding the original pull up resistors was open circuit. An easier fix may have been to link 5V to the original pull up resistors. (Rather than adding extra ones). With the external pull up resistors, the originals (still in circuit, but not powered) are partly connecting the two sensor signals.. you can see this on top of the cam shaft sensor signal later in the video. (This may be why you need to alter the resistor value to make the cam sensor work). Great work on the diagnostic and fix, very impressive. Personally I've never managed to open a (scrap) ECU without major damage to the case!
This is what every mechanic shop should do. Diagnose the bloody fault correctly. Tools are there to find the fault etc. ECU's are repairable..i have repaired a few myself. This is the real way of doing it. Most places bill £75 plus vat an hour. Only to usually put it on the computer and read the diagnosis, which assists you in the right direction! With the right resources, and the right person, problem can be solved. I am assuming the chap here loves fault finding just like me, this is what motivates him. If he was motivated by money i suppose he would not be going through this whole process. Usually the faulty components on an ECU are so cheap. Most of the time manufacturers use poor quality transistors and resistors, which overtime fail. They dont cost much at all. Good job!
ASH1QSHAH Hi Indeed... I could just replace the ecu... first I was not even finding the right second hand one... and obviously wouldn't be as fun... Thank you for the comment, really appreciated! 👍👍👍👍👍
Nice one and thanks for the time you put into this video. Always helps everyone else. I'm an electronics engineer and understood everything you were doing.
Garages would probably change parts and charge a fortune but a real engineer measures and scopes. My first scope was a Solartron back in the 70s and I now use an old Tektronix 466. You probably didn't have a circuit for the computer unit so finding your way round was the cherry on the top. Another great video, thanks Louis.

Why someone will put a dislike to a video like this. A man is trying to help get some knowlege or a good way of thinking and sorting out problems. Nice video good job
I had my 2010 Mini packed to the salvage yard six months ago after the engine shit itself with only 75K miles. BMW Mini absolute pure cheaply made garbage.
Hey I have to say that you did a great job by explaining everything you travel shoot to find the problem. Here in America I would have gone from the crank shaft sensor straight to the ECU. But I have to say that next time I'll try your tecnic. 👍👍👍👍👍
No! Not idealy would be another ecu! Why give bmw 000's if pounds for a ecu when you can fix it with a couple of resisters that cost nothing! Most of us havnt got 000's of disposable income to throw at bmw for a new pcb and programming, but would gladly pay you a couple of hundred or whatever you charge, No mate you carry on, coz us car owners are fed up with being robbed by dealerships and know nothing mechanics, That ecu is fine as it is, and infact, u didn't even need to go that far, you could of simply fixed the resister to the cable externally and shrink wraped it, No your doing just fine buddy and are very intelligent indeed!
Wow i have kinda same issue, but i have 12v at the signal input for the crankshaft sensor, i think the voltage regulator or something like that inside the DME is failed, but what a awesome job You do here!
Awsome video! And I don't even own a Cooper. but your explanation of the crank signal was terrific. The only place you were wrong was when you said that it might be stupid. Replace the word stupid with ingenious. Thank you, you helped me solve my no crank signal problem. Your 5.2K ohm resistor is called a pull-up resistor.
I watch this video from start to finish and you did an amazing job. I'm interested in all your videos. actually, watching it everytime I have time. I own a 1998 Opel Tigra 1.6 and living in the Philippines. More power to you.
So what do you think the problem was given you effectively just jumped out short section of track and the resistors, which you had replaced for known good one? Must point to an issue with the tracks/board given there was no water ingress this time? There are a couple of videos on yt which will like similar problems and at least one confirmed the ecu had to be replaced.
Rob Thomas It was indeed a track or some component part of that circuits... As I also said, ideally and the easy way would have been replace the ecu... but managed to repair it... and learn... so that's a win!
Hi! First of all I want to tell you that it's a pleasure to see you working. I'm technician on the technical service center of the spanish vag group importer and I did several and exigent tests for enter to this project. Our work consist in repair, when dealers can't get it, the most strange and difficult faults of the Spanish market Vag cars. Personally, and thank's to my love for this job since young, I learned enough to did it. Believe me, you're one of the few persons I know that works with very good methods, thinking step by step what is necessary to do for discard and arrive to the focus of the fault. In a few words, you could be in my place, well done. I would like to establish communication with you because I have some doubts about your equipment... you think can be possible? Thank you very much in advance, for your videos and for share it... and my best wishes with your own garage, I'm sure you get it soon!! 💪👍🏻 Regards from Barcelona, and sorry for my english; Guille
😊 It is very rewarding to hear that from you! Really appreciated! What exactly are you looking for, regards my equipment? Thank you for watching and for your comment! 👍👍👍
@@LMAutoRepairs Thank you very much for your answer... (I don't know you name) I have the intention of change my live, leave from Audi and establish my own business on the town that my parents are from. I'm looking for a diagnostic device for all marks and Autel Maxi IM608 is my best option I think, because I would like to do key copys too. By the other hand, there is another options as Xhorse for example, that it's only to copy transponders and door garage commanders too (interesting for me because where I go there is nobody that do this works). In this case, I could combine with the Autel MaxiCom MK908P and work with both devices (this set is cheaper that first Autel option). I must to invest a lot of money in all equipment for my garage, and this is the reason because I'm so prudent. Also I would like to found the best tools combination for cover all my necessities, and my expectatives are work with the minimum devices as possible although I can understand that having 2 options I will have more probabilities of do my works. I'll be the only one doing this kind of jobs in the area, and I want to repair/clone instrument clusters, ECU's, and Ktag it's another device that could be interesting to combine with another ones. Well, I hope do not be bored with my explications Lol Thank you very much in advance again; Guille
@@guille79bcn You are in the right track... However, you are not going to survive only with 2 or 3 tools... Unfortunately some tools will do something that others will not, and vice versa... You will have to invest much more... But don't take wrong, you are in the right track... you need to start somewhere... 👍
@@LMAutoRepairs Morning from Barcelona! Thanks a lot for you comments mate. Yes, I'm aware about 2, 3 or 5 tools will not enough for all works I want to do. Is for this reason I ask you, because I work only with Odis since 15 years ago and after check your videos, Autel could be a good option. Another device is the Launch one, and I know the authorized distributor for the Spanish market. I was checking some video demos but I'm not sure which of both is the best... Did you used it? Also, and as you know, I watched a lot of your videos and I find one where you explain all you equipment. If I'm not wrong, it was recorded some years ago... you think it's posible to tell me if there is new devices that works better, or with more functions? ...I'm bored to check cardiagtool portal... I feel like a child in Toys'Rus door without possibilities of enter 😆😆😆 Regards and thank you!!
@@guille79bcn Never used launch... but looks like a fair good tool as well... I not planning to make a video for my tools just yet... at least not for TH-cam... But I am planning to make a live on Patreon very soon, where I will show all my tools and will answer any questions...
Excellent I would love to have your knowledge and experience with automotive electrics . Really good work and I know it takes you a lot longer filming and explaining the process of repair . But it is truly appreciated 🙏
This is an awesome video! Great job thinking outside the box and applying logic. I'm only up to the part you open the ECU... I'm looking forward to what you come up with for a final fix.
OMG!!!!! You are a wizard, I would love to be your student. I watched this video three times very good video and more so the lesson. Thank you very much!
No I thank you. That was just amazing. I have the same car which i have been trying to trouble shoot the fan not kicking in which leads it to overheat. After watching your brilliant diagnoses you have inspired me to do more
fantastic find and fix,👌 you no your Electronics, how can people give this the thumbs down for you, i love all your vids keep them coming 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
skipped a bit of beginning, but mostly watched all of it, great job, you are very cleaver Kinda genius in my opinion, you its it may fail it may work, but before ordering new part try any way not like most fuckers just giving up by ordering new parts or scrapping car. Very useful, just realised you got same computer as i have. I am following you in a future. thanx bro
How funny you said trying to trick yourself into believing it that you would not care about the letter. It affected you and you know it. When customers ring me as a mobile diagnostic tech/ auto locksmith, first thing I clarify is I dont want to hear comments from other mechanics they used before. 99% its all bollocks. Well done though very much. I like the resistor added
the reluctors for the cam and crank sensors pull down the 5 volt signal circuits. what part do the resistors play in this circuit? by the way your channel is very educational, very much enjoy it.
Very strange how both cam and crank sensor resistors would fail without any visible signs of a short you certainly shown them so called "experts" how to really fix a car they replaced a clutch switch when the car was cranking no clutch switch signal = no cranking that part astonished me anyway great video keep up the good work :)
Don’t know if somebody jump started it. Sometimes jump starting can cause power surges which blow ecu internally. Had one few months ago where they jump started car and after it problems with engine shutting off and stuff. Don’t have a scope though and didn’t want to guess so passed on it but jump starting can do stuff like that.
It's fantastic to see someone repairing at component level. I'm learning loads from your videos, thanks for sharing your knowledge

Replace the word stupid with ingenious. Thank you, you helped me solve my no crank signal problem. Your 5.2K ohm resistor is called a pull-up resistor.

Thanks!
For watching and for your comment!

I watch this video from start to finish and you did an amazing job. I'm interested in all your videos. actually, watching it everytime I have time. I own a 1998 Opel Tigra 1.6 and living in the Philippines. More power to you.
😊
Thanks!
👍👍👍
Yesterday I also fixed a non-start. Fortunately, only a sensor was bad :-D Very good work!!!!
Hi
This was bit more complicated... lol
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
i actually sat and watched this entire video. GOOD JOB!!
😮
Really appreciated!
Thank you for watching and for your comment!

BRILLANT SIR, it's nice to see someone that know's what he's doing..
☺️
Thanks!
👍👍👍
What a buzz you must have got from this, your are a genius. Love your work.
😊
It was challenging to say the least...
Thank you!
For watching and for your comment!
brilliant ! whole car working and the ecu saved by adding 2 resistors ! top job !
😊
Thanks!
👍👍
Well done, your persistence pays off. So much better than those "experts"
Rob Thomas
Thanks Rob!
Really appreciate your comment!
Thank you for watching!
So what do you think the problem was given you effectively just jumped out short section of track and the resistors, which you had replaced for known good one? Must point to an issue with the tracks/board given there was no water ingress this time?
There are a couple of videos on yt which will like similar problems and at least one confirmed the ecu had to be replaced.
Rob Thomas
It was indeed a track or some component part of that circuits...
As I also said, ideally and the easy way would have been replace the ecu... but managed to repair it... and learn... so that's a win!
John Carr
great video i have just subscribed i think you are a great technician i look forward to all videos
😊
Thanks!

Hi!
First of all I want to tell you that it's a pleasure to see you working.
I'm technician on the technical service center of the spanish vag group importer and I did several and exigent tests for enter to this project.
Our work consist in repair, when dealers can't get it, the most strange and difficult faults of the Spanish market Vag cars. Personally, and thank's to my love for this job since young, I learned enough to did it.
Believe me, you're one of the few persons I know that works with very good methods, thinking step by step what is necessary to do for discard and arrive to the focus of the fault.
In a few words, you could be in my place, well done.
I would like to establish communication with you because I have some doubts about your equipment... you think can be possible?
Thank you very much in advance, for your videos and for share it... and my best wishes with your own garage, I'm sure you get it soon!! 💪👍🏻
Regards from Barcelona, and sorry for my english;

It is very rewarding to hear that from you!
Really appreciated!
What exactly are you looking for, regards my equipment?
Thank you for watching and for your comment!

Thank you very much for your answer... (I don't know you name)
I have the intention of change my live, leave from Audi and establish my own business on the town that my parents are from.
I'm looking for a diagnostic device for all marks and Autel Maxi IM608 is my best option I think, because I would like to do key copys too.
By the other hand, there is another options as Xhorse for example, that it's only to copy transponders and door garage commanders too (interesting for me because where I go there is nobody that do this works).
In this case, I could combine with the Autel MaxiCom MK908P and work with both devices (this set is cheaper that first Autel option).
I must to invest a lot of money in all equipment for my garage, and this is the reason because I'm so prudent.
Also I would like to found the best tools combination for cover all my necessities, and my expectatives are work with the minimum devices as possible although I can understand that having 2 options I will have more probabilities of do my works.
I'll be the only one doing this kind of jobs in the area, and I want to repair/clone instrument clusters, ECU's, and Ktag it's another device that could be interesting to combine with another ones.
Well, I hope do not be bored with my explications Lol
Thank you very much in advance again;
Guille

You are in the right track...
However, you are not going to survive only with 2 or 3 tools...
Unfortunately some tools will do something that others will not, and vice versa...
You will have to invest much more...
But don't take wrong, you are in the right track... you need to start somewhere...
👍
@@LMAutoRepairs
Morning from Barcelona!
Thanks a lot for you comments mate.
Yes, I'm aware about 2, 3 or 5 tools will not enough for all works I want to do.
Is for this reason I ask you, because I work only with Odis since 15 years ago and after check your videos, Autel could be a good option.
Another device is the Launch one, and I know the authorized distributor for the Spanish market.
I was checking some video demos but I'm not sure which of both is the best... Did you used it?
Also, and as you know, I watched a lot of your videos and I find one where you explain all you equipment. If I'm not wrong, it was recorded some years ago... you think it's posible to tell me if there is new devices that works better, or with more functions?
...I'm bored to check cardiagtool portal... I feel like a child in Toys'Rus door without possibilities of enter 😆😆😆
Regards and thank you!!
@@guille79bcn
Never used launch... but looks like a fair good tool as well...
I not planning to make a video for my tools just yet... at least not for TH-cam...
But I am planning to make a live on Patreon very soon, where I will show all my tools and will answer any questions...
What you had 5v but never checked if you still had it when cranking…..?
you are my tutor! thanks for teaching so much in just a hour. i love your videos

LM Auto Repairs where did you get the information for resistor valve of 5.2 kohms
Awesome vid man as usual. U can’t get any more thorough and fault finding than this. Nice
Thanks!
👍👍👍
This is an awesome video! Great job thinking outside the box and applying logic. I'm only up to the part you open the ECU... I'm looking forward to what you come up with for a final fix.

A Mcgyver indeed, nice diognostic and job, I may actually bye a cooper having same issue, gonna jump it like you did , if it works it's mine
Lol
Just remember, an non starter can be caused by many different things...😉
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
Great value thank's for sharing, i have same engine and ecu. my car have no throttle at all, I think it's the ecu too
OMG!!!!! You are a wizard, I would love to be your student. I watched this video three times very good video and more so the lesson. Thank you very much!

No I thank you. That was just amazing. I have the same car which i have been trying to trouble shoot the fan not kicking in which leads it to overheat. After watching your brilliant diagnoses you have inspired me to do more

fantastic find and fix,👌 you no your Electronics, how can people give this the thumbs down for you, i love all your vids keep them coming 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

skipped a bit of beginning, but mostly watched all of it, great job, you are very cleaver Kinda genius in my opinion, you its it may fail it may work, but before ordering new part try any way not like most fuckers just giving up by ordering new parts or scrapping car. Very useful, just realised you got same computer as i have. I am following you in a future. thanx bro
Indeed... I know that so far the car still going strong...
Thank you for watching, for your comment and for following my channel!

How funny you said trying to trick yourself into believing it that you would not care about the letter. It affected you and you know it. When customers ring me as a mobile diagnostic tech/ auto locksmith, first thing I clarify is I dont want to hear comments from other mechanics they used before. 99% its all bollocks. Well done though very much. I like the resistor added

Was great job I think my car has same issue & wish you were at Atlanta Georgia. Thanks
Would be nice to be there...😋
Hope you get it sorted.
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
the reluctors for the cam and crank sensors pull down the 5 volt signal circuits. what part do the resistors play in this circuit? by the way your channel is very educational, very much enjoy it.
Man I appreciate that you are sharing your knowledge and your time tank you
Thanks!
👍👍👍
Excellent diagnosis procedure, very interesting to watch 👍

Hi
Thank you for watching and for your comment!
I learned more in this hour that your video lasts than in a whole semester at my local technical school hahahaha
☺️
Thanks!

I'm going to call you the wizard from now on lol,you got the magic touch.
Keep up the great work 😁
😊
Thanks...
👍👍👍
Very strange how both cam and crank sensor resistors would fail without any visible signs of a short you certainly shown them so called "experts" how to really fix a car they replaced a clutch switch when the car was cranking no clutch switch signal = no cranking that part astonished me anyway great video keep up the good work :)
Tom Earnshaw
Indeed... strange...
Thank you for watching and for the nice comment!

Don’t know if somebody jump started it.
Sometimes jump starting can cause power surges which blow ecu internally.
Had one few months ago where they jump started car and after it problems with engine shutting off and stuff.
Don’t have a scope though and didn’t want to guess so passed on it but jump starting can do stuff like that.

That's also true...
