I am an amateur backyard mechanic, and I don't have an oscilloscope or an advanced scanner, so these diagnostics are invaluable to me, as they teach the viewer how to be resourceful with the tools that they do have. Thank you Mr. Danner!

I like the way you test a vehicle's engine performance problem. I really learn a lot more and verify that some of my humble methods are good with your advanced test techniques for finding the root cause of an engine performance problem. Thank you and God bless you.
over the years any time there is a problem with any of my vehicles i have learned to skip all the other guys videos and go straight to yours, thank you sir.
Paul's the best! I could watch his videos all day! He goes to great lengths in diagnostic. Many will jump at the fuel pump as soon as they see no fuel pressure because they are in a hurry and maybe 10% out of time,they'll put a pump in and the car won't start. Then what?! How are you going to explain to your customers that you took 2hrs to drop the tank and the car is still not running?! Watch and learn from the best! And in case you didn't notice his modesty to apologize for a tattoo… WOW! Great guy! Thank you Paul!

Dud I have to give you 2 thumbs up. The way you explained every single test it's SUPER. This has to be one of the BEST how to videos that I've seen on TH-cam. Thank you very much for sharing this video. I have learned so much from it. 👍👍

excellent diagnostic procedures and logic used here. all of these tests done here eliminated potential problem areas. that's what a good mechanic does, end of discussion, I know, I was a mechanic for over 45 years. good job!
Would give this video a million likes if I could. You answer my questions as soon as I think of them and doing the tests instead of skipping to hitting the pump was great. Here to learn how to diagnose and hitting the pump right away doesn’t teach us the diagnostic procedures and thought process to go through. Thanks Paul.
Paul, thanks for all of this. I have been a heavy equipment diesel mechanic for many years and have just recently been working on gassers so I'm a bit out of my element at times. I especially appreciate your stressing to verify the ground for your test light. I got bit by that one a time or two and finally learned to verify every time even though it looks like a nice, bright ground, maybe that metal is mounted by a rubber bushing you don't see, or maybe your wire lead is bad. ALWAYS verify.
We all fight with intermittent no crank, no runs and stalls. At least this one had a pattern that could be reasonably duplicated after a set amount of time. In looking at the fuel pump pattern when it was running should have had some irregular amp pattern humps that may have possibly steered you in the direction of the fuel pump too. You have shared many wonderful videos on proper testing methods for no starts and current running issues but, I'm sure many would like to see more dealing with intermittent issues and how you might go about tracking those down. There are great settings and configurations that many would love to know how to use with both the Verus and Pico scopes that would help capture such events. You did a wonderful job with your short finding skills that you shared. I believe direction in this area is just as important as the proper testing methods you show on all of your videos. Keep up the great work! Our industry appreciates what you are sharing!
At around 24:15 -- when you were wondering if you should tighten the battery cable or go underneath -- and you said "yeah, I'm going to go underneath", I had to hit the LIKE. Thanks for your efforts to pinpoint and teach.
12 years of automotive experience 10 in a dealership as a technician and still learning crap off youtube. Thank you for the video and your dedication to the automotive world!
I'm doing the Industrial Attachment using your videos and I'm gaining more knowledge skills and hands on experience. By watching your videos now I challenge Auto Electrical Repair
Recently picked up a Honda del Sol and started doing a resto-mod and was having this same issue. Your video really helped me trouble shoot and find the issue. After replacing the fuel pump was still having issues with fuel pressure. Turns out the banjo washers were sipping out fuel over night thus causing me no fuel pressure upon start up. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and explaining everything in such manner that most of us can understand.
Brilliant diagnosis if only all garages in Scotland had guys like you people wouldnt get ripped off! Thank goodness I have always done my own mechanics but ive learned a few new tips today! Its been a good day! Thanks Danner!
I love your videos if you cant fix a problem after watching one of your videos that are related to your problem, Then just stop now and take your car to a shop. Your videos are so in-depth I still learn something new every time I watch one of your video's and I am a certified mechanic (At least I was back in the 1980'S lol) I went to work for the DOD (Department of Defense) some time ago but i still like working on my own cars and family and friends cars when I can. Thanks Mark
Beating on the tank would be simple. But damn that systematic problem solving is High Level. Really appreciate the way you approach to show us & what effort you put in to solve.
Wow! I have never seen a mechanic that knows anything about mobile electronics, or any thing else about electronics! I'm exceedingly impressed! I'm an electrical engineer/retired I started with mobile electronics when I was 7 or 8 years old. I almost never use a test light, but a good Fluke meter, but there is times only a good test light will tell you what you need to know!
I had the same problem with my 93 accord. It ended up being the ECT under the distributor. A little 2 wire plug got rock hard after heat and years. But as always your videos are awesome and thorough as expected! Much respect Mr. Danner 💪🏼🤘🏼👍🏻
Exactly what I'm dealing with right now on my 2002 Honda Accord SE I had a bad ect sensor & realized the wiring was disconnected so I fixed it now it's showing correct temperature yet car doesn't start now , dead gas pedal & thinking maybe a clogged egr valve giving me a crank no start..
That Damm sensor under the distributor gets old fast especially under that spot smh horrible ass design. I'm using test light and years of videos thanks to mr scanner Danner taught me to never give up there's always a solution
@@AbisGambino623, I don’t think a clogged EGR will give you a no start. Check your main relay or fuel pump and check your distributor to make sure your getting spark ⚡️ 💪🏼💪🏼🙏🏻🔥
I'll check it today' again man I ended up replacing the main relay thinking it was the problem at first since it had created the same symptoms but no biggie I'll double check , I cleaned some of the blockage from the egr valve to inside the intake manifold Valve & it was completely clogged I was thinking maybe it was stuck In limp mode
Bump into this videos. I have starting issues with my accord 1997. Now im looking forward to hit my tank and see if my car would start. Now im not sure wheater my fuel regulator or pump is having a problems. Kudos to u sir for this vids. From Malaysia.
Think you did the right thing in going through all of the motions. Shows DIY'ers the right way to approach fuel pump diagnostics. Also like how you decided to stay away from repairing the battery terminals mid-test to show a good baseline instead of messing with it as a variable. That's why you're the professor. :)
loved this video because you didnt reveal the issue from the beginning and went through the whole thinking process. When you say what the issue is in the beginning I think it makes people take for granted how much thought process goes into it and how frustrating it can be when you have no clue what it could be yet and have to just go off of multiple tests and rule out causes
Hey Paul; just got introduced to your videos. They are well done and good trouble shooting flow. Be careful with that test light, it looks like a computer safe light but it can lead you astray looking for missing grounds or parasitic currant draw. A true incandescent bulb test light, the older style 8$, is the way I track down parasitic draw, faster and easier to see the change when the correct fuse is removed, then my Modis or Vantage Pro. Keep up the good work. Glad to see younger people coming in behind us old guys.
Fixed a corolla fuel pump problem about 3 months ago. Thanks for taking the time to test those injectors. I work entirely on diesels so not to familiar with Petrol EFI systems but getting there.
Thank you so much for going through the steps to show us how to diagnose a bad fuel pump nd telling us the complaints that helps out a lot because when u get a vehicle come into the shop with something like that your like ok so I know the fuel pump works because it starts when it is cold but dies when the engine gets warm so then you go through the steps u just did nd it helps a lot thank you for making your videos
Good diagnosis work Danner, ya most of us techs would have just hit that tank for a quick test but you did it the proper and professional way and explained it all well. I hate working on those older hondas that you have to lower the tank to get to the sending unit/ cover or lower it just a bit so you can unplug everything before lowering the tank all the way. I been working on cars for awhile now, finished trade school to and I still learn something new or re learn something i forgot from school from these videos and in this trade things change or something new comes in every year. Thnx for the edumacation bro.
+ScannerDanner I second the motion sir. I'm not a tech at all...just your basic back yard mechanic as they say...with GENERAL knowledge. I've always wanted to be a mechanic, but life lead me in a different direction with our military. (3X VET..HOOAH). Last year I had to put to rest my 92 Taurus with 380,000 miles(original engine, one rebuilt tranny)... Now own an 03 Matrix. I've done all basic procedures to it in regards to tune up items...but she's still eating way to much fuel. I understand city driving (NYC) consumes most of my fuel, but for a four cylinder to be guzzling a tan, giving me over two hundred ish range...I'm mind boggled. Anyway...... You always are proficient and detailed in your videos...thank you sir.
Dan the man! U do an amazing job of walking thru the thinking process cause that's what a mechanic is! U have presence of mind to explain process and any scenario which gives me confidence to buy basic tools and do it myself!!! Thx Your. Friend paul from Ladner b c canada
I couldn't agree more. Currently going through this same scenario only it's a wagon. I am going to take my tablet out to the car and step-by-step it. I can hear and feel the relay clicking so my thought was that it's ok. I'm going to break out the test light and do some real work now. Thanks a ton!!! Very, very informative video!!!
Very cool man! I would have to internship for a long time to be good at electrical like you, its the mystery science to me, never been good at electrical, but your walkthrough gives me hope. I would like to see troubleshoot after troubleshoot like this on 20 cars, its brilliant. When we transition to electric cars with 10 moving parts this will be a lost art that shows the intuitive genius of man! Thanks for the great vid!
I think your buddy ignored replacing the filter. Bad friend.... As for you i was amazed at the qaulity of this video, for being in the field, literally.... Great job mr danner you deserve an apple
Paul I'm glad you did go through the motions your explanation and process of Elimination was a good teaching and learning curb thanks for not banging on the gas tank , enjoyed every minute and brought back memory from years ago, I don't know what all those thumbs down are for thanks Sal
Nice timing, sir! I just got done replacing an Airtex fuel pump installed by another shop a year ago. Nothing the other shop did wrong, pump just went weak prematurely. I believe it's important to let your diagnostic results speak for themselves. Just because X or Y part was replaced, doesn't mean it's doing its job.
Great video Paul. Good to see the test light used in most of your testing here. I hope you didn't forget to tightened the battery negative terminal clamp. All the best.
God truly has blessed me my friend. And it is a blessing again to hear from you and to hear about the effect this type of training is having on your life.
Great vid and very clear explanation of the troubleshooting you're doing. Thanks for making these vids! It's a great learning tool for myself as a DIYer!
On these fourth generation 1990-1993 and fifth generation 1994-1997 Accords it's helpful to know that the fuel pump prime is in sync with the check engine light bulb check. From key off to key on you should hear the fuel pump run when the light comes on and it should shut down when the light turns off. It makes it a bit easier to hear the faint whine of the pump when you have a visual cue. This won't work if the PCM has any stored codes since the light won't turn off. This doesn't necessarily mean the fuel pump is bad but it does give direction.
ScannerDanner Sorry I misspoke the MIL light will turn off for the bulb check if a code is stored on an OBD 2 PCM and quickly come back on. It's very quick though it will only remain off for a fraction of a second. On pre OBD 2 PCMs it won't come on at all after the bulb check if a code is stored unless you attempt to start the engine. The fuel pump prime synchronization with the MIL light information is correct though and applies to both OBD2 and pre OBD Accords. This is what happens when I post before getting my coffee :-).
quote of the day! "I know I know I could of did that 20 minutes ago" Thank you for going through this Testing process, very thorough! I was starting and stopping this video going through checks on my 94 Honda I currently think its a fuel problem, Im gonna go beat on the tank first before testing the relay! Subscribed!
I really enjoy your videos. I feel as though my diagnostic skills are lacking a bit. I'm looking for a local class with advanced diagnostic procedures. In the mean time, I always learn something from your videos. I like to watch these while thinking of how I would tackle the problem you are working on. Sometimes I'm spot on, other times I learn a new step or test. Keep up the great vids.
Hey SD I agree 100% on what you said about going thru the steps or you wouldn't have a video to show us THANXS for a good trouble shooting video. Make your self a little gas bottle with a filter on it as part of your tool box set, You could mix some injector cleaner with the fuel and you will clean the injectors while your trouble shooting. I would bet your right that the car needs fuel pump. I was writing this before you hit the pump Thanxs again L.A.
Dan when I saw u on Eric the car guys show didn't think much to you but man I was wrong your the best on you tube for sure Great channel great mechanic
ScannerDanner sorry Paul my bad But yea your really good I'm a Vw / Audi tech myself you do things the old skool way and new skool very impressed by all your knowledge well done mate videos are all awesome
This video put my memory back and I remenber now all the videos I watched for scanner danner 7 years ago it was more than 500 videos that I watched back then
+scannerdanner great video, went through all the checks from spark to relay to power circuit. I'm currently in dirt on a tacoma 96' with crank no start condition and this has really helped me. I have yet to beat on the tank, be trying that when it isn't snowing! Thanks you rock Paul. Life subscriber for sure.
Another great video Pardon me if I'm crossing any lines by saying but i think and I'm sure the majority of your viewers would agree, there is no need to explain yourself to the naysayers and or trolls Your rep is good here bud I'm sure it's just a part of your teaching style and if that's the case don't change a thing, but I'm just letting you know... And I'm not talking the guys who say "well I would do it this way" I'm talking the "ya can't poke holes in wires" type folks Anywho, I'm just expressing my opinion because, you know, it's the TH-cam comments, and I can....
Thanks man and you're not overstepping any lines here at all!. I do tend to address the naysayers and possibly to a fault at times. Did I do that in this video?
excellent job Mr Danner.. I really enjoy your videos and learned a lot wih them. thans for sharing them. God bless you every day greetings from Tamaulipas Mexico
danner, i like how you showed yourself going back and forth when you couldn't find what you were looking for, so you literally show exactly what goes on during the diagnoses, everyone these days always edits the shit out of there video and makes themselves seem like their diagnoses went 100% perfect lol. Not many good engine/electrical diag videos out there, keep it up!@!!
ScannerDanner u really was right on another video u done. a no start 1999 civic.. the coil was bad just like u said thanks so much man u help fix mines and keep it up!
I got ideas for my problem from this video. I like that you said go back AND visit things you already tested. I got a cranks/no start on a vehicle I inherited. You gave me some hope. If not, its going to a better place than my driveway. Yea I don't need that trophy in my driveway, even if chicks and dudes dig the car (If I get it running I can sell it is my hope). The car don't run = No fun. Thanks for the inspiration.
26:26 You have a decent ground. But your friend have an AWESOME Friend and father! Broo! You even teach some other things That are essential for are daily life... Patience and tolerance. And this vid Is from 2014 and you haven't change This awesome behaviour! Nice to meet you through this source✌✌
having similar problem with 4th gen Honda prelude, did everything accept fuel pressure test with a actual gauge,(and knocking the petrol tank haha) brilliant video, I know what I need todo next 👍👌
No one can say anything about the time taken here you started from First Base then joined each Base in the fault finding process . We only smack the tank when we are Busy and have multiple Casualty's to deal with . As always Dan Spot on .
My Mistake Sorry Paul . Scott UK 25 Years electrical mechanical 15 of them As a Rescue Mech . and everything taking place within you and the way you work and put across to others dude is spot On in my book . So anyone who is negative towards you Might needs to Grow up a little .Great Work if ever you come to the UK Then we should meet stay safe love to all over there From the UK .
Nice Danner. We started looking for control signal for coil and injectors, then trouble shot the primary fuel system from the fuse through the relay, and finally, back at the pump. Yep, ya coulda played the drum song on the tank a lot earlier, but what would have your class learned? I did think that pounding on the tank might also temporarily restore a bad contact, besides one caused by bad brushes. However, those contacts would be at the top of the pump, so you'd have to drop the tank to fix em if ya found em.Thanks for this video.
Great videos. And while yes beating on the tank is a fast easy check, but it is important to know how to check your harness at any point of the vehicle. Say the beating on the tank didn’t work. Then what? So I appreciate the time you took to verify everything else. Had you found bad grounds at some of the other parts them there is on telling what other repairs you would have saved him time on.
Wow man that was an awesome video. Way to go into detail. Not everyone would take the time to go through the steps. Thanks again, you helped me out. I'll subscribe without hesitation.
...thank you for carrying this exploration out to it's logical conclusion... Often, as you indicate, these tests are bypassed... Honda's always seem to duffer from the bad ground problems (like where they anchor on the water pump)...so your not correcting the loose pole on the battery was much appreciated.....
I was wondering what the amp draw is on the test lite. If the injector ground driver is one amp in the computer,and the test lite draws more than that, could the computer be damaged? Thanks in advance
Great video as always. I remember Fonzi from the tv show Happy Days used to fix stuff just like this by beating on it with his fist......the jukebox at the diner was always breaking down. lol
I spent 50.00 on the e- book literally watched a thousand videos. Some two or three times to get it. Did the 99.00 classes 2 years in a row. Now I'm a completely different person in the automotive industry. Sometimes you have stop stop testing the water and just dive in.
Freaking awesome feedback! Thank you so much! Your follow up comment is just as good.

In looking at the fuel pump pattern when it was running should have had some irregular amp pattern humps that may have possibly steered you in the direction of the fuel pump too. You have shared many wonderful videos on proper testing methods for no starts and current running issues but, I'm sure many would like to see more dealing with intermittent issues and how you might go about tracking those down. There are great settings and configurations that many would love to know how to use with both the Verus and Pico scopes that would help capture such events. You did a wonderful job with your short finding skills that you shared. I believe direction in this area is just as important as the proper testing methods you show on all of your videos. Keep up the great work! Our industry appreciates what you are sharing!
At around 24:15 -- when you were wondering if you should tighten the battery cable or go underneath -- and you said "yeah, I'm going to go underneath", I had to hit the LIKE. Thanks for your efforts to pinpoint and teach.
thanks so much
12 years of automotive experience 10 in a dealership as a technician and still learning crap off youtube. Thank you for the video and your dedication to the automotive world!
I'm doing the Industrial Attachment using your videos and I'm gaining more knowledge skills and hands on experience. By watching your videos now I challenge Auto Electrical Repair
Thanks awesome! Thank you
Recently picked up a Honda del Sol and started doing a resto-mod and was having this same issue. Your video really helped me trouble shoot and find the issue. After replacing the fuel pump was still having issues with fuel pressure. Turns out the banjo washers were sipping out fuel over night thus causing me no fuel pressure upon start up. Thank you for sharing your knowledge and explaining everything in such manner that most of us can understand.
Nice find!
@@ScannerDanner indeed, so we started giving it the tlc it needs. 94 With the B16A3 from factory.
Brilliant diagnosis if only all garages in Scotland had guys like you people wouldnt get ripped off!
Thank goodness I have always done my own mechanics but ive learned a few new tips today!
Its been a good day!
Thanks Danner!
I love your videos if you cant fix a problem after watching one of your videos that are related to your problem, Then just stop now and take your car to a shop. Your videos are so in-depth I still learn something new every time I watch one of your video's and I am a certified mechanic (At least I was back in the 1980'S lol) I went to work for the DOD (Department of Defense) some time ago but i still like working on my own cars and family and friends cars when I can. Thanks Mark
+Mark Parchert thanks Mark! I really love to hear how much this is helping people like you.
"I'm gonna see if I have anything flammable in the garage" You and I are immediately kindred spirits.
Important because you need to determine if the feed and ground circuits are working as they should guys. Excellent video Dan.
Excellent video! You were demonstrating how to do it correctly, not the obvious shortcuts.... Well done, Sir.
That was the BEST tutorial I have ever seen on you tube. Thanks!
+Try Truthful thanks so much
Beating on the tank would be simple. But damn that systematic problem solving is High Level. Really appreciate the way you approach to show us & what effort you put in to solve.
Wow! I have never seen a mechanic that knows anything about mobile electronics, or any thing else about electronics! I'm exceedingly impressed!
I'm an electrical engineer/retired I started with mobile electronics when I was 7 or 8 years old. I almost never use a test light, but a good Fluke meter, but there is times only a good test light will tell you what you need to know!
I had the same problem with my 93 accord. It ended up being the ECT under the distributor. A little 2 wire plug got rock hard after heat and years.
But as always your videos are awesome and thorough as expected!
Much respect Mr. Danner 💪🏼🤘🏼👍🏻
technically it wouldn't be the same problem, though what you mentioned could cause a not start from a flooded condition :-)
Thank you!
Exactly what I'm dealing with right now on my 2002 Honda Accord SE I had a bad ect sensor & realized the wiring was disconnected so I fixed it now it's showing correct temperature yet car doesn't start now , dead gas pedal & thinking maybe a clogged egr valve giving me a crank no start..
That Damm sensor under the distributor gets old fast especially under that spot smh horrible ass design. I'm using test light and years of videos thanks to mr scanner Danner taught me to never give up there's always a solution
@@AbisGambino623, I don’t think a clogged EGR will give you a no start. Check your main relay or fuel pump and check your distributor to make sure your getting spark ⚡️
💪🏼💪🏼🙏🏻🔥
I'll check it today' again man I ended up replacing the main relay thinking it was the problem at first since it had created the same symptoms but no biggie I'll double check , I cleaned some of the blockage from the egr valve to inside the intake manifold Valve & it was completely clogged I was thinking maybe it was stuck In limp mode
Your really helping me as a newly qualified vehicle technician to gain knowledge and experience. Thank you sir! Subscribed.
Thank you so much! I look forward to hearing from you in the comments of the videos.

Bump into this videos. I have starting issues with my accord 1997. Now im looking forward to hit my tank and see if my car would start. Now im not sure wheater my fuel regulator or pump is having a problems. Kudos to u sir for this vids.
From Malaysia.
Think you did the right thing in going through all of the motions. Shows DIY'ers the right way to approach fuel pump diagnostics. Also like how you decided to stay away from repairing the battery terminals mid-test to show a good baseline instead of messing with it as a variable. That's why you're the professor. :)
thanks bro
loved this video because you didnt reveal the issue from the beginning and went through the whole thinking process. When you say what the issue is in the beginning I think it makes people take for granted how much thought process goes into it and how frustrating it can be when you have no clue what it could be yet and have to just go off of multiple tests and rule out causes
+nicholas elias thanks bro
Hey Paul; just got introduced to your videos. They are well done and good trouble shooting flow. Be careful with that test light, it looks like a computer safe light but it can lead you astray looking for missing grounds or parasitic currant draw. A true incandescent bulb test light, the older style 8$, is the way I track down parasitic draw, faster and easier to see the change when the correct fuse is removed, then my Modis or Vantage Pro. Keep up the good work. Glad to see younger people coming in behind us old guys.
Fixed a corolla fuel pump problem about 3 months ago. Thanks for taking the time to test those injectors. I work entirely on diesels so not to familiar with Petrol EFI systems but getting there.
best video i seen to help with no start issues great job man really great job now maybe i can get my integra to start
Thank you so much for going through the steps to show us how to diagnose a bad fuel pump nd telling us the complaints that helps out a lot because when u get a vehicle come into the shop with something like that your like ok so I know the fuel pump works because it starts when it is cold but dies when the engine gets warm so then you go through the steps u just did nd it helps a lot thank you for making your videos
Good diagnosis work Danner, ya most of us techs would have just hit that tank for a quick test but you did it the proper and professional way and explained it all well. I hate working on those older hondas that you have to lower the tank to get to the sending unit/ cover or lower it just a bit so you can unplug everything before lowering the tank all the way. I been working on cars for awhile now, finished trade school to and I still learn something new or re learn something i forgot from school from these videos and in this trade things change or something new comes in every year. Thnx for the edumacation bro.
+Katicus thanks for watching! and for the comment
+ScannerDanner I second the motion sir. I'm not a tech at all...just your basic back yard mechanic as they say...with GENERAL knowledge. I've always wanted to be a mechanic, but life lead me in a different direction with our military. (3X VET..HOOAH). Last year I had to put to rest my 92 Taurus with 380,000 miles(original engine, one rebuilt tranny)... Now own an 03 Matrix. I've done all basic procedures to it in regards to tune up items...but she's still eating way to much fuel. I understand city driving (NYC) consumes most of my fuel, but for a four cylinder to be guzzling a tan, giving me over two hundred ish range...I'm mind boggled. Anyway...... You always are proficient and detailed in your videos...thank you sir.
Dan the man! U do an amazing job of walking thru the thinking process cause that's what a mechanic is! U have presence of mind to explain process and any scenario which gives me confidence to buy basic tools and do it myself!!! Thx
Your. Friend paul from Ladner b c canada
+Paul Zonneveld thanks Paul!
u
u
I couldn't agree more. Currently going through this same scenario only it's a wagon. I am going to take my tablet out to the car and step-by-step it. I can hear and feel the relay clicking so my thought was that it's ok. I'm going to break out the test light and do some real work now. Thanks a ton!!! Very, very informative video!!!
thanks Mark! Good luck and keep us posted
Very cool man! I would have to internship for a long time to be good at electrical like you, its the mystery science to me, never been good at electrical, but your walkthrough gives me hope. I would like to see troubleshoot after troubleshoot like this on 20 cars, its brilliant. When we transition to electric cars with 10 moving parts this will be a lost art that shows the intuitive genius of man! Thanks for the great vid!
+zach wasil thanks man
Your friend should consider themselves very fortunate to have a friend like you.
I think your buddy ignored replacing the filter. Bad friend.... As for you i was amazed at the qaulity of this video, for being in the field, literally.... Great job mr danner you deserve an apple
Paul I'm glad you did go through the motions your explanation and process of Elimination was a good teaching and learning curb thanks for not banging on the gas tank , enjoyed every minute and brought back memory from years ago, I don't know what all those thumbs down are for
thanks
Sal
you never mentioned if you had the switch on when you did the first injector ground test.
I enjoyed watching you going through the motions. This was so informative for me as an aspiring tech. Thank you for what you do.
+Miguel Torres thank you for watching!
Great demonstration in this video! Thanks for going thru all of the process you did in this one. I've become smarter because of it!
Thank you!
I pick up something every time I watch thank u!
Nice timing, sir! I just got done replacing an Airtex fuel pump installed by another shop a year ago. Nothing the other shop did wrong, pump just went weak prematurely.
I believe it's important to let your diagnostic results speak for themselves. Just because X or Y part was replaced, doesn't mean it's doing its job.
cool, thanks
Man i don’t give a shit about what people are going to say you’re the best man keep it up 👍🏽!!
Great video Paul. Good to see the test light used in most of your testing here. I hope you didn't forget to tightened the battery negative terminal clamp. All the best.
GOD blessed u professor Danner u have put bread on my familys table unselfishly sharing all this priceless knowledge.thanks!
God truly has blessed me my friend. And it is a blessing again to hear from you and to hear about the effect this type of training is having on your life.
Great vid and very clear explanation of the troubleshooting you're doing. Thanks for making these vids! It's a great learning tool for myself as a DIYer!
my 97 civic has the same problem im 98% sure it is the fule pump, but this video help a lot
On these fourth generation 1990-1993 and fifth generation 1994-1997 Accords it's helpful to know that the fuel pump prime is in sync with the check engine light bulb check.
From key off to key on you should hear the fuel pump run when the light comes on and it should shut down when the light turns off. It makes it a bit easier to hear the faint whine of the pump when you have a visual cue.
This won't work if the PCM has any stored codes since the light won't turn off.
This doesn't necessarily mean the fuel pump is bad but it does give direction.
great tip! I did not know that about a stored code keeping the light on during the bulb check on these
ScannerDanner
Sorry I misspoke the MIL light will turn off for the bulb check if a code is stored on an OBD 2 PCM and quickly come back on. It's very quick though it will only remain off for a fraction of a second.
On pre OBD 2 PCMs it won't come on at all after the bulb check if a code is stored unless you attempt to start the engine.
The fuel pump prime synchronization with the MIL light information is correct though and applies to both OBD2 and pre OBD Accords.
This is what happens when I post before getting my coffee :-).
Bushougoma
quote of the day! "I know I know I could of did that 20 minutes ago" Thank you for going through this Testing process, very thorough! I was starting and stopping this video going through checks on my 94 Honda I currently think its a fuel problem, Im gonna go beat on the tank first before testing the relay! Subscribed!
this is what you call an engineer thank you for showing this to us
that's an in-depth video you made. thank you very much. its very thorough checking
I really enjoy your videos. I feel as though my diagnostic skills are lacking a bit. I'm looking for a local class with advanced diagnostic procedures. In the mean time, I always learn something from your videos. I like to watch these while thinking of how I would tackle the problem you are working on. Sometimes I'm spot on, other times I learn a new step or test. Keep up the great vids.
cool thanks!
Hey SD I agree 100% on what you said about going thru the steps or you wouldn't have a video to show us THANXS for a good trouble shooting video. Make your self a little gas bottle with a filter on it as part of your tool box set, You could mix some injector cleaner with the fuel and you will clean the injectors while your trouble shooting. I would bet your right that the car needs fuel pump. I was writing this before you hit the pump Thanxs again L.A.
I have a 99 civic ex and they are very particular about factory parts for optimum performance . great video
hi am so happy to see your videos i learn so much from you i just can't get enough. i am a technician an you teach me so much thank you.
Thanks Christopher
Thank you! I enjoyed the lesson.
Psalm 119:105
Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet and a light unto my path.
I've learnt so much from this video. Thanks for being so thorough
Thank you for the feedback
Thanks for your time dude... awesome information. I learned more from you then from 4 years of schooling! Lol.
Dan when I saw u on Eric the car guys show didn't think much to you but man I was wrong your the best on you tube for sure
Great channel great mechanic
Thanks so much Brad! My names Paul by the way but it's okay I get "Dan" all the time (last name is Danner)
ScannerDanner sorry Paul my bad
But yea your really good I'm a Vw / Audi tech myself you do things the old skool way and new skool very impressed by all your knowledge well done mate videos are all awesome
Thanks again Brad and no problem with the name thing
Another informative video. Thanks Paul. Nice to learn basic testing methods as well as short cut approach at the end.
This video put my memory back and I remenber now all the videos I watched for scanner danner 7 years ago it was more than 500 videos that I watched back then
Awesome! Thank you!
@27:50 can you please explain more why the ground should light up if the ground is bad? thank you
these service call videos are awesome. more, please!
Great Video had a no start issue with my 92 accord and this helped
+scannerdanner great video, went through all the checks from spark to relay to power circuit. I'm currently in dirt on a tacoma 96' with crank no start condition and this has really helped me. I have yet to beat on the tank, be trying that when it isn't snowing! Thanks you rock Paul. Life subscriber for sure.
Snowing! That's the best time to lay on the ground :)
Another great video
Pardon me if I'm crossing any lines by saying but i think and I'm sure the majority of your viewers would agree, there is no need to explain yourself to the naysayers and or trolls
Your rep is good here bud
I'm sure it's just a part of your teaching style and if that's the case don't change a thing, but I'm just letting you know...
And I'm not talking the guys who say "well I would do it this way"
I'm talking the "ya can't poke holes in wires" type folks
Anywho, I'm just expressing my opinion because, you know, it's the TH-cam comments, and I can....
Thanks man and you're not overstepping any lines here at all!. I do tend to address the naysayers and possibly to a fault at times. Did I do that in this video?
Your teaching me "how to fish", instead of handing me a "banging mackerel", thank-you paul!
+andy Ketterhagen that I am my friend. Thank you!
excellent job Mr Danner.. I really enjoy your videos and learned a lot wih them. thans for sharing them. God bless you every day
greetings from Tamaulipas Mexico
these "in the field" videos are awesome
danner, i like how you showed yourself going back and forth when you couldn't find what you were looking for, so you literally show exactly what goes on during the diagnoses, everyone these days always edits the shit out of there video and makes themselves seem like their diagnoses went 100% perfect lol. Not many good engine/electrical diag videos out there, keep it up!@!!
thanks bro
ScannerDanner u really was right on another video u done. a no start 1999 civic.. the coil was bad just like u said thanks so much man u help fix mines and keep it up!
I got ideas for my problem from this video. I like that you said go back AND visit things you already tested. I got a cranks/no start on a vehicle I inherited. You gave me some hope. If not, its going to a better place than my driveway. Yea I don't need that trophy in my driveway, even if chicks and dudes dig the car (If I get it running I can sell it is my hope). The car don't run = No fun. Thanks for the inspiration.
26:26 You have a decent ground.
But your friend have an AWESOME
Friend and father!
Broo! You even teach some other things
That are essential for are daily life...
Patience and tolerance. And this vid
Is from 2014 and you haven't change
This awesome behaviour!
Nice to meet you through this source✌✌
Interesting video, thanks Paul. I'm going to finish watching this one tomorrow. Good 🌙
Hey , ScannerDanner Thank you for the test you done. I learned a tip or two. I enjoyed your video. Your awesome. Thank you!
having similar problem with 4th gen Honda prelude, did everything accept fuel pressure test with a actual gauge,(and knocking the petrol tank haha) brilliant video, I know what I need todo next 👍👌
No one can say anything about the time taken here you started from First Base then joined each Base in the fault finding process . We only smack the tank when we are Busy and have multiple Casualty's to deal with . As always Dan Spot on .
+Rs500ybd thanks man. (My name's Paul) :-)
My Mistake Sorry Paul . Scott UK 25 Years electrical mechanical 15 of them As a Rescue Mech . and everything taking place within you and the way you work and put across to others dude is spot On in my book . So anyone who is negative towards you Might needs to Grow up a little .Great Work if ever you come to the UK Then we should meet stay safe love to all over there From the UK .
Nice Danner. We started looking for control signal for coil and injectors, then trouble shot the primary fuel system from the fuse through the relay, and finally, back at the pump. Yep, ya coulda played the drum song on the tank a lot earlier, but what would have your class learned? I did think that pounding on the tank might also temporarily restore a bad contact, besides one caused by bad brushes. However, those contacts would be at the top of the pump, so you'd have to drop the tank to fix em if ya found em.Thanks for this video.
+william mack good point
Great videos. And while yes beating on the tank is a fast easy check, but it is important to know how to check your harness at any point of the vehicle. Say the beating on the tank didn’t work. Then what? So I appreciate the time you took to verify everything else. Had you found bad grounds at some of the other parts them there is on telling what other repairs you would have saved him time on.
Wow man that was an awesome video. Way to go into detail. Not everyone would take the time to go through the steps. Thanks again, you helped me out. I'll subscribe without hesitation.
Why would any one give this video a thumbs down even if you do already know this process?
who knows lol, thank you
Explained in layman's terms, just subbed, great vid
...thank you for carrying this exploration out to it's logical conclusion...
Often, as you indicate, these tests are bypassed...
Honda's always seem to duffer from the bad ground problems (like where they anchor on the water pump)...so your not correcting the loose pole on the battery was much appreciated.....
enjoyed the vid. thanks for taking the time to show us the right way first.
For sure! Thank you
fair play your how to vids are awesome and so easy to follow
Bad connection between the brushes and commutators of the motor
ScannerDanner I'm agree with u body , all that prossese or all that steps u did are really good do do a very good diagnosis . thanks for the video.
What motor?
Thank you for your reply.
Neil Williams the fuel pump motor; the brushes were and they pull away from the commutator and the pump motor stops working and kills your fuel.
I was wondering what the amp draw is on the test lite. If the injector ground driver is one amp in the computer,and the test lite draws more than that, could the computer be damaged? Thanks in advance
YOU, are a really good friend! A free-bee! That was a lot of work for you, but very educational for us, the Rookies. Thanks.
Great video as always. I remember Fonzi from the tv show Happy Days used to fix stuff just like this by beating on it with his fist......the jukebox at the diner was always breaking down. lol
That was truly amazing. I wish I had you in front of me working on my car problem
I have a forum on my website www.scannerdanner.com where we can help you. It is free to join
Great Video as always ! Beating the Tank/Pump before wouldn´t have given us such a good Video - but would have saved you some time.
Thank you for doing all the test, I learned so much, thank you also for taking the time to teach others like me )
+Harley Ryder thank you!
