DIY 02 Ford Rough Idle Diagnosis With a Twist! Pt1

Some Chrysler’s do the same thing with transmission temperature, you’ve got to be in R or D for the data pid to update.

Ann-Marie Newbound says:

Didn’t know you and Paul were friendly with each other. I’m not surprised you both have great teaching methods. Maybe it’s time to re subscribe to QM, was having issues some time back shortly after you setup your own channel with finding your new videos. Great to see you back on my screen.

When doing drivability I always like to double check with global obd2. Some oems have really odd strategy and global obd2 won’t allow an oem to pick and choose what values they read or names of pids. Just curious if you would repeat the test with global obd2 to see if it changes your reading. I’m going to go try what Paul said with driving a car with an induced lean condition.

It's because the headlights are fogged, of course.
Always fix the most obvious thing first! Hurdy-durdy-doo!

CookieDave says:

Should've phoned Scotty Kilmer, doh!

Ricky Pisano says:

Great content as usual Matt. Never saw LTFT act like that. Very odd. Haven't finished the video yet just thought I'd mention that. I've got an 05 3.0L DOHC Duratec V-6 so I'll keep this in mind. Good to see you again buddy.

I have a Ford (2003 Taurus ohv flex fuel) and nothing happened even when I directed propane straight into the vacuum lines.

Reminds me of this. Does anyone have ANY idea why????

Crispr Talk says:

Loved the call with Scanner Danner.

Walter Hicks says:

FYI the oil pressure sensor on these fords sends a binomial signal to the gage, either there is pressure or there isn’t. The gage cluster will read normal if there is any measurable pressure. When you turn the engine on the rise in the gage cluster isn’t pressure building in the system, it’s actually a product of the gage design. So the pressure may only be 5 psi when it should be 15 so, the gage reads the same. Your client may want to investigate that oil pressure code further.

Love your videos but I hate my car

This is probably my favorite YouTube channel
