    I have an 05 Magnum RT, it cranks but won't start, shakes engine a bit, white-ish smoke out the back, and a strong fuel smell. Oil and Coolant were check and changed out prior to driving from Killeen to California (stopping in El Paso) I made it back to El Paso (Now Car won't start) I don't know much about the fuel filter but I definitely haven't changed it since I got it in September of 2022, I also used some Lucas Fuel Injector cleaner beforehand so maybe it did something to the filter

    Friend of a friend has a 1998 F150 with the 4.6l engine, it cranks but will not start, he has had 4 mechanics look at it supposedly, and they can't figure it out, recently had both the camshaft and crankshaft position sensors changed and still no go, they said there was spark and fuel pressure. I live 50 miles away and have not been able to look at it until today, within 10 min I got it started, charged battery up and sprayed starter fluid straight into throttle body, supposedly they had tried starter fluid before, not sure where or how much they used but they could not start it. Obviously a fuel issue of some kind, I suspect possibly a dirty fuel filter, checked fuel pressure, it hits 40 psi pretty quick and does not seem to drop off after key is turned off, so wondering if its a fuel injector problem, would pressure stay high if filter was dirty ?

    As always thanks for your professional explanations, they are very informative. I hope you can help me on this issue, I have a 2003 Lexus Rx300, the car start up fine, no issue but sometime when I shift gear to "D" or "R" the engine stall (shutoff); Other-time it drives for over 5 to 10 miles without any issue, but when I stop at the traffic light, the engine stall (shutoff) it allows me to start the engine without any issue, but as soon as drive put it to "D" drive or "R" it shut off again. I already clean the "Mass Air Flow sensor" it still have the same problem. Any recommendation to remedy this issue surely apricate. (It didn't display any engine light or any warning in the console screen.

    I think you missed one of them...
    It's when you press down the accelerator between 50% to 100% and the vehicle doesn't accelerate instantly.
    It takes a long time to get in the rpm range and doesn't accelerate promptly.
    I think it's because of the low fuel flow.

    Got a issue with my 99 ranger
    Anytime I gain speed and let go of the pedal my truck seems to jerk back a little bit and loose it’s speed, you can also hear the engine rev somewhat higher when this issue happens. I’ve also been smelling gas & loosing Gas Milage.. my assumption would be the fuel filter but I replaced it almost 2 years ago. Would this still be issues leading to the fuel filter ? I’m also getting rich and lean conditions on my 02 sensors but I replaced them twice already MAF, IAC, Fuel pressure regulator. Evap Purge Valve, 02 Sensors, all have been replaced.
    Any Ideas or help is appreciated. Thanks

    • @matthewhunt7952
      @matthewhunt7952 10 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Misfires but it doesn't mean the injectors or spark plugs are bad, it may mean that too much sediment has built up and is causing misfires so you would clean the fuel injectors and spark plugs first and then replace the fuel filter because if any sediments have passed the fuel filter, then the fuel filter is beyond clogged. As in the video, Top 5 Auto Repairs, the mechanic specifically mentioned "sediment build up" is a cause for misfires. This is how you will know if it's the injectors AND why the injectors are involved in the misfires. I will also add that you can find out which specific injectors are misfiring by looking up the P codes the OBDII diagnostics provides to you. If you read about the P codes for misfires, you will learn that within each code, a certain number in that P code actually tells you which cylinder within the engine the misfire is occurring in and you can pinpoint which injector and spark plug or group. Consult a professional mechanic.

      It’s normal. Not a stupid question. The oil is at the bottom of the engine(where the crank is ;basically the leg of the motor) on a cold start , so the engine idles a bit higher as it is dry on the top (where the valves and head are, which among are the spark plugs) to create spark to light the gasoline sprayed inside by the injectors, and as the lubrication of the oil gets there to the crank and pistons and the rods (basically the thigh and ankles of the motor) the revolutions per minute lower as it gets easier for the mechanisms up top like the lifters that lift the valves that are basically the nostrils to the motor , air goes in there what these things are lifting they are being lubricated to flow easier because the oil has been pumped through the oil passage ways that are engineered within the engine to spray or drop oil onto where it’s necessary. Air flows in and under which the head goes and connects on top of the block (the engine body itself that surrounds the crank (legs of motor) ) , at the top right under the valves are these combustion chambers because the pistons connected to the legs of the motor are creating this combustion zone that creates horse power. The valves come in here where they are being lifted by the lifters at the same timing to intake , combust and exhaust that stroke. All of this then connects to a transmission which is connected to transfer case which then goes to the differential axles into the back. (Depending on if it is RWD AWD or 4x4 selective.)
      a stroke means how many times the piston is going up and down in the cylinder , which the lower legs of it is recorded in the RPM gauge in your gauge cluster because it is continuously in a revolution , the higher the revolution the faster the crank spinning and then it means faster piston strokes which all equals out to more power.
      It’s revving high because it’s dispersing the oil and getting it up to operating temperature to maximize the oils’ lubrication performance and reduce metal to metal friction.
      God bless you.

    • @tonystark701
      @tonystark701 4 หลายเดือนก่อน +14

      This is a very important question. I think the symptoms would present alike at the beginning and you might not know the difference at first. But as time goes on, if the filter is clogged, you might still be able to start the car after a few tries and you'd notice rough idling and poor acceleration. And if the pump is bad, it just stops pumping fuel and you might never get it to start. You might also hear a groaning noise from the pump when it's giving out.
      You could try cleaning or changing the filter and if the symptoms continue, then you might have a failing fuel pump that needs to be replaced.
