Help! Plug Problem! by Kizyte(m): 7:42pm On May 02, 2017 |
No power supply on two of my plugs, I've replaced my plugs and checked the plug coils and they're all perfect. What could possibly cut power from being supplied to the plugs? NB: Car is 2001 Ford Escape |

Kizyte: How did you know they are perfect what code did you get when you scanned it. What has your mechanic worked on Take some pictures of the engine and ignition system and post them so we know we are talking about the same thing |

Kizyte:you description is too vague .what test was done that made you conclude that there no power to plugs and coils are ok. I don't get it. Seems u are confusing ignition cables with the coil parks. |

sultaan:The engine starts when I turn on the ignition, but vehicle does not move well. I discovered that two plugs do not get power supply. I thought it was the coil packs and even tested a new plug coil, there was still no power on the two plugs. |

Kizyte:How do you confirm that there is no power on two plugs. |

Kizyte:if you have swapped coil and no improvement then u need to do the same power balancing methods for the injectors for that particular cylinder . And still if u are not getting any positive results ,the u are going for the way of checking compression for the individual cylinders. |
Re: Help! Plug Problem! by honmusa(m): 12:53pm On May 03, 2017 |
divinelove:Yes that method is quite OK for diagnosing misfire for DIY level . It is called cylinder power balance test. 1 Like |

I-4 or V6 Scan result? |
Re: Help! Plug Problem! by Kizyte(m): 4:10pm On May 03, 2017 |
honmusa:I don't understand what you meant by power balancing method, but I'll let the electrician that is trying to work on it know about the method. |
Re: Help! Plug Problem! by honmusa(m): 6:37pm On May 03, 2017 |
Kizyte:power balance is the same procedure you did on the ignition cable that enable you to determine the plug that is not getting power. But in this case you are doing it on the injector for that same cylinder that is not supplying to the plug so as to isolate the issue from injector . |
Re: Help! Plug Problem! by sultaan(m): 9:01pm On May 03, 2017 |
honmusa: Really!!! What happened to scanning a car first for diagnosis. The check engine light is on why not do the right thing first rather than causing more problem |

sultaan:Me always believe car fault? SCAN and derive solution from OBD codes then research and fix if not it will become a case of a doctor giving you panadol for malaria. 2 Likes |
