The PTC Learning Curve What's a PTC? Found on Dodge vehicles, it is
here to stay and can through a diagnostic out of bounce. This
vehicle would start then stall and afterwards it would not start
again until some time had passed. The ECM was replaced, but nothing
worked. See what this case diagnostic can tech you. * - The
Sputtering Malibu A Chevy with a drivability complaint and a
misfire code that was hard to diagnose. See how this diagnostic
developed from using a Tech-2 factory scanner to the logical path
that made the tech repair the issue. * - The Tachometer Coil Affair
A no-spark condition on a Dodge, but what does that have to do with
a tachometer? Ignition and coil assemblies were replaced, but the
issue remained. See how it all worked out from dedicated CG video
diagrams to expose the issue. Also get a grip on using the graphing
multi-meter to solve this repair case. * - Toyota it Wasn't Me
Injector A great engine swap gone bad. What appeared to be a good
running engine all of a sudden when buzzers. See how this
diagnostic was approached and what the ECM was seeing using various
tools. See how thing got crazy and took the case in the wrong
direction. * - Toyota's Ignition Octopus Misfire issues on today's
crowded engines are time consuming. See how "The Octopus" or a
special tool used for ignition diagnostic was employed and how
diagnostic time was reduced to a minimum by this tool usage. * -
Trans-Am Rocker Poker Issue A Trans-Am having a misfire issue and
the shop replaced parts galore. The shop went through all the
diagnostic channels like compression, electrical test, but thing
worked. A powerful tool was employed here from the tech's arsenal
of tools. See how it was used to check ignition and solve the final
issue. * - VW Golf on the Rough This VW ran fine for miles, but
then would start to run rough. The ECM, Hall-Effect and O2 sensor
was replaced, but to no avail. This diagnostic was started by
monitoring the most vital signals for starting. See how a chain of
events unfolded to correct this issue. * - Who Quit First A Ford
with a complaint of hesitation upon acceleration. The venerable
complete tune-up was performed. This series video runs you through
a complete analysis on ignition system waveform interpretation. It
also explain other concepts highly desirable in today's vehicle
diagnostic. * - Zapping the Air Control Signal A Chevy Camaro with
absolutely no codes and an idle control issue. Learn how the IAC
Counts were used during diagnostics. To top it all off, this issue
was intermittent. Get a big scoop on scanner PID interpretation and
how to use the data-stream to find vehicle issues. See how it all
developed.
