Some of the most difficult problems to diagnose are engine problems, but with Automotive Video’s newly released “Base Engine Analysis” class with Dave Scaler, you can perform misfire diagnostics faster, more efficiently and without engine disassembly.

There is no scan tool that can tell you that you have a bad cam lobe on Cylinder #4. Instructor Dave Scaler shows you some great techniques to diagnose base engine problems with the tools you already have in your shop–and without disassembling the engine!

Learn from examples and real world experiences in over five in-depth case studies. Dave will give you what you need to diagnose P0300 series codes, misfire, hydrocarbon problems, NOx problems and much more!

Why Alternators Are Subject To Ripple Voltage

The alternator produces an AC current that must be converted into DC current by way of a rectifier.

Alternators have been used to charge the 12V DC electrical systems in vehicles since long before computers and networks were part of the equation. Just a few decades ago, the 12V DC electrical system wasn’t that vulnerable to ripple voltage. Today however, excessive ripple voltage can cause major communication issues across networks and can cause a number of communication DTCs to be set in multiple control modules.

Belts and Pulley Alignment

A misalignment of the plane of the belt can occur when a pulley is not parallel to the other pulleys on the belt drive system.

Diagnosing Misfires

What if there are no codes and a misfire is intermittent? This is where it gets complicated.

Lifter Deactivation

The area of contact between the lifters and cam lobes is the highest loaded surface inside an engine.

Alternator Testing For No Charge Conditions

Many alternator problems turn out to be nothing more than a bad connection at the alternator or a bad wiring harness.
