Hello Paul (and Caleb)! My son got me a gift certificate from AES Wave for Christmas, so I'm going to be ordering your book! I'm excited to read it and to learn from it. God bless both of you and Caleb's new family! Merry Christmas to both of you.
@Total Confusion
That's a ridiculous comment. What happens behind this scenes, is we can't keep up with everyone. You answer one question and then they multiply. Like the scene in Bruce Almighty when he's answering emails? It is exactly like that.
But I do care, whether someone is a paid member of my website or not.
@Dave Osbun you won't be disappointed with AESwave! In fact I'd like to add to it, one, just to stick it to the wet blanket comment below, and two because I do this all the time. I'd like to offer you and SD/AES Grant to shop with them. All of my affiliate revenue earned from AES is being dumped into an account where we give back to our industry. Whatever I offer from this account AES matches dollar for dollar. Copy your message and then mine right here, and send it to support@scannerdanner.com and I'll set you up with one. Merry Christmas my friend and thank you for your support!
@Total Confusion I'm not sure why expecting to earn money with your knowledge means you don't care about people. In fact, I'd say just the opposite is true. I'm sure it's safe to say you've never visited the premium channel nor have you viewed any of the content there. It's free for 14 days...check it out for yourself and cancel it at the end of 14 days. Then see if you can come back and make the same ridiculous comment with a straight face. You cannot find better training than what is offered there for the minuscule amount he charges. A few years back I signed up for the premium with the intent on watching and canceling because I'm cheap. I'm still a premium member today. I have earned TONS more money with the knowledge I've gained than I could possibly pay Paul Danner for his premium channel in a lifetime. I'm an amateur doing repairs and diagnostics as a side job to my regular job and have fixed cars that local shops couldn't fix, all thanks to the premium channel.
Also, if you paid any attention you see that much of the proceeds he earns from certain things go straight to people in need. So, you're just wrong about Paul Danner. He expects to get paid for his knowledge but he cares and is also a very generous Christian. He's a winner in my book.
@Total Confusion you haven’t a got a clue, what he teachers in the book and premium is second to none, look what other top you tube mechanics say about him , Ivan from pine hollow auto diagnostic and Mario from super mario diagnostics and Eric from south main auto just to name a few, and so what if makes any money , I should hope he does I want to see someone getting on in life than not ,
Been a SD premium student for the last year. Best investment i have made towards growing in the auto vehicle world
I owned this car with the same engine 3.5L V6 except mine was a 2008. I owned it since it was new from the dealer. I kept taking it back for this misfire issue and they kept telling me I was crazy. Come to find out, the VCM feature (variable cylinder management) shuts off the rear bank of Cylinders in 3 cyl or 4 cyl mode. If you check all 3 rear cylinders all the spark plugs will be fouled but the front is clean. This fouling problem happens on highway driving or coasting when cylinders are deactivated to save fuel. However the intake valves still open, thus EGR pumps soot and oil into the rear bank fouling the plugs but never burning the recirculating exhaust gases. So my solution was a cheaper 2 year spark plug change and I never had a misfire for the life of ownership.
As soon as I saw this video I knew what it was because I owned this car for so long before selling it. It's not a horrible issue if you just keep up maintenence on the spark plugs. The engine never burned any oil, it was simply a problem with the VCM feature from Honda. Honda even provided a software update to help the issue. I never tried it. I'm not a mechanic so I didn't bother with it.
can also be oil fouled caused by bad oil control rings
You got it. Also, echo comes on when it comes up to temp. A mode to trick the temp reading by reading the hose temp instead so echo never comes on. 5 degree temp change read will do it.
I've lost count on how many years I have been checking out these videos...real time content....see you at training!!!!
Thank you!
HI PAUL DANNER AND HIS SON,
YOU ARE BOTH # 1 TEAM ON YOU TUBE, YOUR APPROACH WITH LAMBDA NUMBERS IS A GENIOUS IN THE MAKING. I CANNOT STRESS THE EFFECT OF BEFINITS TO THE AUTOMOTIVE
INDUSTRY. YOU REALLY MAKE MY DAYS.
YOU ARE THE THE SUPREME.
GOD BLESS YOUR HEART AND SOUL FOR A MAGNIFICENT JOB. THANK YOU
Thank you sam
PAUL, YOU ARE BORN TO BE THE BEST INSTRUCTOR AND TEACHER AND TOP OF THE LINE AS A DIAGNOSTIC TECHNICIAN EVER.
Hey, enjoyed the video. That Honda needs a VCM muzzler and of course a set of plugs. It has cylinder deactivation on cyls 1,2,3, it seems that it creates a vacuum in those cylinders pulling more oil in and oil fouling the plugs... keep up the great work Paul and Caleb, I guess Danner deserves some praise as well.
The VCM on my 2008 Odyssey was a contributing factor that messed up my motor. Once I slap the reman motor in it I am going to purchase that VCM deactivation jumper harness.
Love this style of realistic perspective diagnostics. All the way to the “gotta pay the grocery bill” perspective of the customer. Great job and Merry Christmas ti the Danner family.
Praying for your sweet momma too. My wife’s currently dealing with cancer so my hearts definitely more tender towards those struggling with similar issues.
Just prayed for your wife my friend. Mom is doing good! Thanks for asking. May the peace of God that surpasses all understanding be with you in this situation.
RPM drop test is one of the most useful tests in my "toolbox"
I love how understanding you are of the customers costs. You’re right you need to look out for the customer in this world of expensive bills. Paul you’re such a nice guy my man.
Awesome video! Love how real and candid the Danners are!
Very common on all the honda v6s with VCM. It will continue to foul plugs on that cylinder. There was a settlement, extended warranty coverage, etc. around this issue. Great video, as always!
That car is out of even the extended warranty. Needs the VCM disabled. $129 for the VCMTuner, new plugs and it's good to go.
it just needs driven Italian tune-up style on the daily 🤣
It's not just Honda. I've run into the issue with many manufacturers that have cylinder deactivation. I think it is not only the added vacuum but also low tension rings you see going in most engine's in an effort to reduce drag. All in the name of fuel economy.
Thanks Paul and Caleb as always for your great work. I hope you and your families have a great Christmas!
Merry Christmas Danner’s! Hope you all have a great Christmas and remember what the day is really about!
Great teaching video as always. From one grandpa to another grandpa, have a very Merry Christmas to you and your family!
Literally the exact same thing happened to my accord. Cylinder #2 plug went bad. I followed this step by step and it worked perfectly. Great job explaining the process!
WoW, Love the quick diag plan, instead of taking a different approach,I've been practicing this plan since I've started learning from you SD Stay Blessed Bro❤
Special Thanks to James Danner & Caleb Danner👍
Stay Safe Guy's❤
Hey brother, I would recommend you to get the book "Engine Perfomance Diagnostics' ! I got mine 2 years ago, it has been most valuable investment ever.
@@PistonShack Great suggestion Bro👍
Totally agree with you 💯%
I got mine in Feb of 2020, had to request my uncle in State's to place the order with AESwave & ship it to me via USPS😉
Honestly it's the best investment I've ever made (it's an asset), & I can't thank SD enough for compiling all this knowledge & changing our lives, huge effort👍
It's a must have (must read) book for tech's anywhere😉
@@isalmankhan1 INDEED, BROTHER! Take Care.
I love diagnostics ! Good info on the fuel trims as well !
Merry Christmas Mr. Paul
Nice easy one for once. Good old swaptronics work great. Just get two spark plugs and replace number 2 and put the other in the glove box with a cheap spark plug tool for the customer. Merry Christmas to all the Danners.
I love you and the way you work ...
God bless you man
Great video Paul, learning something new every day.
Scanner Danner takes you back to the knuckle old skool. Good video👍.
Merry Christmas to you and your family
Hi Paul, and Kaleb, AND the Bearded one, great video, Nice to be working outside in December in Pa.Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year to the Danner Family!!
Super good vid. I liked the use of the amp clamp showing primary pattern. Also the order of the steps. Thank u! Excellent editing and camera work Caleb!!
'Quick n dirty' The best type of Danner Diagnostics! 😀
Hello, Paul. Sorry to hear about your mother, praying she will be okay.
Perfection at its best.,...I don't know how many times I've used cylinder drop test to find misfires....
For RC test on Honda quickly, use the All Injectors Off function. Then to return to normal select the Ecm/Pcm reset
I agree with you Paul; you can change a lot plugs for the price of a rebuild! Great video and info as always! Thanks.
Merry Christmas to the whole Danner family.
Scannerdanner is the man.👍❤️🇨🇦
Video quality is absolutely phenomenal, Caleb Danner!!! Brothers Danner, great video, as always!!!
Thank you!
See that!! This is proper execution, excellent video!
Hi Paul and Caleb,
Thank you again for this great video!! In my opinion it is always a good first step to swap the coil and plug to an more exessable location. Not only for easier acces but also to eliminate an failing fuel injector or enginefailure for that cilinder. For me an small step in between.
Oké boys; marry Christmas and al the best for this new year.
Cheers from the Netherlands
One of the smartest car dudes on TH-cam
fantabulous learning, wished my teacher delivered the education like you did.
Thank you! 😃
Merry Christmas to you and ya family ScannerDanner
I put a VCM Muzzler on my 2006 Odyssey and I love it. Installed at 163k. The issue I had was it felt like a trans mis-shift that occurred every time you came up to speed. In fact I hated to see the green econo light come on. Right after installing the Muzzler I did an oil change and discovered shiny metal in the oil. Tore the engine down and discovered front camshaft lobes were worn (163k) and 2 rod halves and 1 main half bearings were showing wear. Rear cam looked like new so did not change. Changed the cam ($300) and the bearings. Trying to figure out size/color of the bearings was a real hassle. Dealer totally worthless. So far so good. The engine always ran quiet so no change still runs great. Have not pulled plugs. Just got the Odyssey at 161k and it does not appear to use oil. So do not know history before I got it. I think the previous owner sold it because every warning light was one when I first started it. All easy fixes. TPMS/Traction was low tire pressure (nail in tire) and the check engine light was caused by a clogged screen on the VVT soldenoid. I bet the owner was not savvy and the $700 Toyota wanted for the new valve did him in. I fixed the screen for $10.
Merry Christmas danner family!
I’ve seen the flashing cel as a knock event and a catastrophic failure but I’m lucky I haven’t had it on my car. A friend of ours had it on her Hyundai and the dealer replaced her motor under warranty. I’m glad you made this video as this accord has a J series engine and I have 2008 Acura tl type s it has the 3.5 but similar so if I ever have this issue I can reference this video.
Great video Danner. As another automotive educator, I love your videos because you never forget about the simple diagnostic methods too. Understanding and utilizing both methods is much less intimidating for students than some others who immediately reach for the oscilloscope. Great video for my students. Thank you and Merry Christmas from Rhode Island.
Oh, that 5.0 Mustang next to you guys. What a sweet car.
Great video guys as always and i agree new plug drive it.Be safe everyone and Merry Christmas and praying a better New Year.
100% Bad oil control rings caused by the garbage VCM system. I’ve rebuilt dozens of these motors for this issue, great vid love your channel 👍🏽
Happy holidays to you, your brother and Kaleb. I'm looking forward to more videos in 2022.
You guys are an awesome team!!!!!
The SIGN says it all Danner… 22:25
Auto “PERFECTION”
Great and quick diagnosis
I'm gain knowledge each and everyday
I’m going to be getting your book for myself for Christmas I look forward to reading it to create a base to build on
Good ol piston ring bulletin extension.
Merry Christmas and a happy new year my brother in Christ... Abuelito Paul.
Old school perfection, nice job Paul……
Thanks for all you share!🎄⛄🎄⛄
Merry Christmas to All and God Bless💓
Nice fast work guys to the point. Your brothers shop is big. I have a one bay shop. Thanks for all your help. When I am back in the + I'll be back on sd premium. I have watched every video and taken every class with your book. Gold dust.
Thank you so much my friend. Happy New Year!
Sometimes the Old School way is still the good way. You made me nervous grabbing the ignition wires/coils with the engine running. Electricity constantly searches for a path to ground and a willing conductor like the human body. Stay safe amigo
ScannerDanner good Morning 🙏 🌄 ✨ Have a great day 👍 Take care ScannerDanner 👍
Great tutorial thank you 🙏 👍
📷 man great eye for film 🎥 thank you Take care.👍
From Nick Ayivor from London England UK 🇬🇧
Nice case study I would swap coils and plugs
My customer has a 2012 Honda Odyssey had this exact problem a few years ago Honda did the rings and plugs for free under the recall. While they were doing the recall we inquired about the Timing Belt and they did the Timing Belt for half the price. Vehicle now has 265,000 miles on it no misfires about to do the Timing Belt again.
Great logical approach. Great content.
Nice video. I replaced my spark plug and fuel injector, switch the coil, the P0302 stay the same. 2005 accord 2.4
did you repair it?
great conclusion, i hope the customer not pissed to find out it was a plug. And get bent out of shape, for your charge for the diagnosis. My advice to him it better have 6 extra new plugs on hand, or the owner can get those non foulers/maybe hotter plugs too. I used the non foulers on a 80 POS malibu i had with a 229 V6 it had they do work!! Same thing that engine would blow through oil like crazy.
I was a gm tech for along time I did pistons almost daily for issues like this.
That thumbnail is pure gold.
A quick way to do a cranking compression test on Honda vehicles would be to select “Injectors - all” under the “Functional Tests” menu. You then have to perform a “ECM/PCM Reset” after you’re done to re enable injectors.
Thank you so much for teaching me all this.❤
In a pinch, I've found that carburetor cleaner spray works great for cleaning spark plugs.
The Big Picture : You Will Become The Average Of Who You Surround Yourself With! That's a conclusion I've come to @ 62 YO. If you watch Paul Danner on a regular basis your skills of diagnosis will improve dramatically. Try using these skills in areas beside auto repair. Again, thank you Paul.
Thank you my friend
non fouling spark plug ext.would prob.help to keep it fouling too soon too.i belive in them.good luck too yours.you have great down to earth videos big brother.have a good one..
You simply Great bro...Nice video...
Thanks for your videos
great video Paul,i liked the way you said your brother probably won't even change it.!! WHAT does surprise me is ,THAT he doesn't HAVE THOUSANDS of PLUGS just lying around. i mean what the hell? What is he ?A NEAT FREAK? does he throw all the old parts from cars away? haha i used to wrench 40 years ago and i bet i have a plug or wire from a model A car,ya the big fat ones,you never know when some restored MODEL A gonna brake down buy your shop.OH ya i also have one of those piston sand blaster,haha love your vids man.
Thanks man, really appreciate it
Thanks a lot team Danner and Merry Chirstmas for you and your family =)
As usual, well done. Happy New Year.
hello, the number 5 ignition coil is from Honda Civic 06/09
I am watching from Bangladesh
Thanks Guys!
Good video with a good mix of high tech and old school diagnosis. Like you said no reason to rebuild the engine for a little oil burning... How about more old school on the plug and take it for a ride and drive it like you stole it for a mile or two. It might clear out the plug. I had a family member with a early 70s Mopar 440 and I'd get a call that it was running rough. I'd take it out on the highway and let it breathe if you know what I mean and bring it back purring like a kitten. That car was insane LoL
Hi SD. Great video! Show us snap on truck on the rear
Nice video. So the 09 Honda engines have a piston ring problem that causes oil burning also? My wife drives an 07 Toyota Camry and it has the same condition. It's never given us any trouble at all. I just have a reminder on my phone to check the oil every weekend and usually it's just a little under the full line on the dipstick so I just top it off every weekend and keep on driving.
Did this injector balance test before on my snap-on scanner. It allowed the vehicle to be running.
It probably wanted to start the procedure from a stopped engine to take full control of the fuel delivery (or place it in open loop) preventing the fuel trims from going lean creating a false positive stumble.
It might be that from an open loop on a cold engine, it can prevent it from going in closed loop and adjusting the fuel but once ots warm and in closed loop, it has to take it from start-up. They had it running for a while and there didn't seem to be any trouble codes that would keep the ecm from going closed.
Dads car has this issue. After 3-4 year the cat did finally start causing excessive back pressure from all the oil that had been thrown at it, but new cat and new plugs runs great again. I guess we will run it for 3-4 more years!
No miss: No más! 😄 from peru 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Hey Guys Great video thanks for sharing Merry Christmas to you guys.
Mui. Bien master. Excellent diagnosis. Mui. Bueno tec
Hey, Great lesson Thanks bra!
Good job
Good job
Minimooooooooooooooo excellent video and. I have the subscription also. Thank you master. Danner
Thank you so much!
Thanks for sharing Paul... Cheers.
Honda dealer tech here knew the issue minute I saw it was a v6 rear bank had luck at the dealer soaking the cylinders with a solvent
I look forward to your videos 👍
This car simply needs VCM (ECO) disabled with a VCMTunerII. It's $129 or so and disables the cylinder deactivation. That and a set of new plugs and that car will most likely run many more miles. I run it on my own V6 Honda. 240K trouble free miles and counting.
Strategically placed SnapOn ad (truck) in the background. Paul is selling out, lol. Good quick diagnosis Paul. When you first started the engine you said "that's a secondary ignition". So, what was it that you noticed? What did you feel/hear/whatever? How did you know it wasn't fuel? I'm trying to learn these insights.
Initially it wasn't constant. It only misfired on a snap throttle, which is a classic secondary ignition issue. I dont think the video captured that or I forgot to mention that it was not constant at first. A constant misfire is a little more tricky if that makes sense
I noticed the SnapOn truck as well! Interesting how Paul ignored your comment on it haha 👍
@@ScannerDanner I was clearly able to hear the drop test but not the fish bite miss.
@@Aidan.17 🙄 the Snap-On truck was not staged
@@ScannerDanner Thanks so much Paul. Merry Christmas to you, your family and everyone in the scannerdanner universe.
Nice on Paul. Pity is awkward plug it's never the easy one. Yes replace plug cheaper option.
Never knew the cylinders on this were numbered this way. Like Ford Triton. Low tech way to know: unplug first and last cylinders for one bank and check scan tool.
Loved the content ❤️
Same situation with me.... But it was a coil these cars you usually have to get OEM plugs denso is a must
Paul would it be okay to put anti fouler extension If it's burning oil only on 1 plug help and extend the duration and life of that plug?
