    • Scotty Kilmer Hope your day is going good. I wanted to ask if its fine to drive a 3.0 v6 with one of the sparkplug not working. Technically its not misfire. Its the whole time. Loss of power. Head gasket is good no smoke coming out. Is it fine to drive my car with 5 cylinders working and not one? Also could it be a lose wire or distributer?

    • All that unburned gas could wash the oil off your rings and get into your crank case. A master mech once told me that after getting a low compression reading... said the oil from misfire washed the seal off the rings.

  • Hello Scotty, last weekend i had a warning ( check engine ) . I checked my engine with the ODBII and had a code P0300. I replaced all 4 sparkplugs and now my engine works great and have no warning signs. I did another check with my ODBII and have no faultcodes. With the help of your video i saved a lot of money and my engine ofcourse. I made also a testdrive and everything is smooth...So Scotty thank you for your great tutorials. Gr.Marc from Belgium.

  • Hi Scotty. This video helps me a lot, I mean, after all research on KZhead and internet, I came to conclusion that my Nissan Pathfinder 1999 with more then 212 k miles on it, actually getting to the end. The last step left for me to check is compression test. I did almost everything to fix missfire on cylinder nomber 3 with code PO303 and also PO300 as wll which is one of the worst codes one can get. ? Spent good amount of money to replace O2 sensor, EGR valve, spark plugs, wires, brand new fuel enjector for no, 3 ., also I replaced both valve cover gaskets which is pain in a butt expecially driver side undr the plenum. . I've had some confidens in myself and I beleived if I do all that I may fix it, . After all that I did test the car and nothing has changed. The car still shaking when on stop and cant drive up hill more then 35- 40 mph. So I will do compression test and if it's too low, I will sell to junk yard.

  • If the Audi was pre-2009, it's most likely carbon build up. The FSI engine is the most carbon build up prone engine ever. It was VW/Audi's first turbo 4 with DI. The engine wouldn't be wearing out, those are solid engines. But as you said, it did lose quite a bit of compression.

    • Scotty Kilmer Scotty have a 2001 Audi A4 Quattro turbo 1.8 L and I have already replaced the housing for the ignition coil connectors. I am not sure if the ignition coils are damaged but when I replaced all the pins and the housing all the wires were either damaged or broken. Soon I will need new wires for the system to work properly but like you said I will start with the spark plugs first. It is running real rough and got this when I went to my local auto zone: P0300 random/multiple misfire detected P0302 Cyl 2 misfire detected P0171 fuel system too lean cyl bank 1 P0011 ?A?

    • HyralProductions I bet that you are not driving a post 2000 german car. If you would, your 318i would have shat itself a long time ago. Modern cars are disposable. You buy it. Drive it until the warranty expires and sell it to next poor soul. Even though materials are stronger and more wear resistant then ever, the engineering is intentionally flawed or better said geared towards costs and efficiency rather then longevity. Nothing would outlast a 70's merc engine. Just look at the very appraised BMW 2 litre diesel, fitted to most of their cars since 07. They moved the timing chain towards the back of the block and it fails quite often.

  • There seems to be a lot of unnecessary Audi bashing here. These cars are complex and require diligent maintenance. There were obvious signs of neglect in this car: the "Service!" warning was on and spark plugs were filthy. Since the first owner would have had their service done under warranty at the dealership, I wonder if the second or third owner actually did proper maintenance. A competent mechanic would have alerted them to the "gunk" on the spark plugs had they been replaced every 3 years according to the manufacturer. More importantly, how frequently was the oil & filter changed and/or topped up? P.S. The the engine has 152k miles...hopefully the timing belt was already changed!

      @michaelovitch@michaelovitch10 жыл бұрын
    • I believe the trouble is that the gas is injected directly into the combustion chamber, thus making the intake valves and the piston in the compression cycle work only with air around them. Though it may look rough, gas for a part plays the role of coolant and lubricant in an engine. That's why you got to choose wisely your gas and not just take the cheapest, for your valve's sake

    • Ok. i agree,same problems on diesel engines : the intake valves are full of blowby /egr deposits. but here the loss of compression is not only caused by leaking valves no ? cylinders/pistons wear ? too much heat ? What wore out ?

    • Can help a little but is far more efficient to clean it manually, specially the back of the valves (is not that expensive). Extreme cases need a total rebuild to clean everything and that is VERY expensive.

It boggles my mind how people can be so clueless about cars, I bet the owner just wanted a fancy badge but didn't want to maintain the car. There's a big difference between being able to buy a car and being able to maintain it.

So would that rule out the coils or sparks since is seems to only do it when its from cold start.

  • I fixed this problem on my 2003 A4 last night it was fuel injectors. I changed out all 4 and the problem went away instantly. I had already tried the plugs, coils,and was about to do the PRV and PCV valves. I think oil leaking out of the dipstick tube got into the injector wells and over time seeped into the injector housing of cylinders 2 and 3. Watching Spectre in the theatre made me rush to get this job done so I can go driving at high speeds again. Thank you Daniel Craig!

  • Scotty, my 3400 SFI V6 on my Chevy Impala has a misfire on cylinder 1. I haven't done any of the tests yet but this was an issue that just popped right up with no warning. It's been very wet and rainy here for the past week or so and not only have I driven on a lot of wet roads, but I also went through the car wash yesterday. Is it possible I could have water fouling things up or can these misfires just pop up with absolutely no warning at all? The car was absolutely fine driving most of the day today and as soon as I started it up after sitting for about 2 hours, the check engine light came on it's riding rough unless you floor it, then it seems to work better which is strange. Being Christmas Eve, I was able to hop down to advanced auto parts and they diagnosed it as a misfire on cylinder 1. I won't be able to really do anything with it on Friday but something else that's bothering me that I can't get an answer to, you can hear the car puffing in the back and when you put your hand in front of the tail pipe, you can feel very hard puffs of air coming every second or two. It's not a constant stream of air like usual but it's almost like it's not working right. Does this sound bad for me or something that could possibly easy to fix up? The engine has only 123,000 miles on it so it shouldn't be warn down yet. I had the intake and head gaskets replaced as well. It's frustrating because I've honestly had nothing but problems with this car and if I had the money, I'd trade it in for something else but for the duration, I'm stuck with it. I should add that I have recently had all plugs and wires changed, so they shouldn't be bad, but the key word is shouldn't be.

  • I see a a lot of videos on the code p0304. Most of the videos show the mechanic replacing the ignition coils and spark plugs. I have the same code, misfire 4 cylinder. However, I replaced those about 6 months ago. Just to be sure- did a ignition coil and spark plug swap, after that kicked up the same code and problem while driving. Could the problem be the injector?

  • Great video Scotty, I had two misfires in my Toyota 2001 3.0L V6, 278K. I did the test you did on about switching the coils and found out it was the coil. I still put new spark plugs, New coils, and new spark plug cables. The misfire it's fixed and it runs great, but now I have a P0325( knock sensor bank 1). It is time consuming to get to knock sensor but before I try to change it with the hardness what do you suggest that I should look for? as I know sometimes other little things on cars may produce a code to come on but it doesn't come from the place the code is talking about. thanks for your help.
