In this video I have a look at a customers ’14 Jeep Cherokee that has a complaint of SES light on with a misfire. After the diagnosis the customer states that I already replaced the injector! Oh….. did we now 😏
-Enjoy!

Here is the video from a year ago when we diagnosed the same problem – https://youtu.be/Xr1J_h1mngc?si=ones5QeB8p_N19lw
Here is the video of replacing the injector – https://youtu.be/jugAxZ8gXpc?si=Ox6MUCjehjl41Mjx
Sorry for the repeat on the diag. I lose track in my mind of the cars I fix 🤷🏽♂
can I just check firing order when you killed injector 2??
I love this channel. I learn from every video. Thanks Eric
Should have done the injector replacement on cylinder #1.
Aftermarket subwoofer
Flipping the current clamp over on spec cracked me up.
Did you tell him the car has 6 injectors….. Quote him a price to replace all 6 injectors and get a reaction… that way no come back
The weird wire screwed to the fuse box is new. Not in the last video.
One fail Two fail. all are to fail. (((((((()))))))))
Change them all. Jeep's. Heh
I just rad your disclaimer on your site. NOT FAiR Who am I gonna blame?
“It’s a Jeep thing” 😂
I am wondering if you hit the drop-down and selected number one would it have worked correctly?
You are sure as sh.. sugar a solid fella.
Sticky sweet, from your head to your feet.
I know I quoted def leppard already, but ya gotta give me an angle for something else!
What the hell they running with a fuse that big
I like neep used to have one, the "not empty every pocket" one
At least the customer didn't show up with the previous video explaining the diagnosis.
I have some bringing in videos expressing "this guy fixed it in 10 minutes".
It's a bad injector
nothing like after market crap
sure as shi…. sugar. Got to stay monetized 🙂
These 3.2L engines are injector failure prone. I’ve seen failures in Jeeps with only 20k miles and have injector failures on two more cylinders in under the next 5k miles.
I've noticed this is common practice in America and this result always huants me when watching. I look at all electrics the same as bulbs. They only have so much life. If one goes (especially in a PITA spot like these), sure as sugar others will follow.
So, you always quote the set. If the owner chooses not to, and you end up in this situation. They know full well they were warned!
Hey it will quit missing when it runs out of gas lol
Given all you know, what car(s) would you recommend to buy and which ones would you avoid?
😊…ERIC…INJECTORS LIKE SPARK PLUGS…ONE GO'S …THEY ALL GET REPLACED… GREAT JOB ..!!
It blows my mind how many vehicles you get with the fuel light on. I never let that light come on period, let alone when dropping it off to be worked on lol.
It did sound like you didnt shut the door at first.
The screw through the cover is a bit dangerous! 😮
Seems like a low voltage issue to me
I usually offer the customer, the option of replacing the entire set of injectors, or the one that I found bad. That way if another injector goes bad, the customer doesn’t try to pin it on me……or if he does try to pin it on me I can remind him (or her)that they were the one who made the decision not to replace the set.
I ended up watching the vid from last year, did you replace the other 5 injectors? And that big fuse wasn't on the fuse box a year ago lol
Thanks for the link in your PINNED comment, thanks for the diag also. DO YOU HAVE professional SHOP Software to ID old customers? Maybe MRS O. is a computer programmer and you created your own software, maybe you use MS Excel or Access, I am wondering why you did not know this car was in before, was it not annotated on the Work Order so you could review HISTORY? cheers.
Our power transmission flushes for a 2014 Honda accord he good or bad way to go to service the transmission. No issues with the transmission at this time and it has about 120,000 miles on it. Service was just performed on timing belt spark plugs etc. and everything else appears to be in good shape.
As a retired class 8 truck mechanic I would like to say that in my opinion, you are the Peyton Manning of mechanics.
I'm extremely impressed by your diagnostic skills and honesty with people.
If I wasn't in Indiana I would be doing business with you and your family. I watched a video of you working with, I'm thinking daughter. I wish the best for her future as a mechanic under your guidance.
I wonder if it would be better to change all 3 injectors that you didn’t change before at this point then
Man I’ve been meaning to get one of those M3 fuse loops, shame it doesn’t come with the picoscope kits or that terminal test kit
Great job… Same comment I made year n half ago 😂👍
Dr. O you are the best learned so much from you over the years !!! 😢
7:10 That's right, sir! The clamp is always on wrong the first time. 😄
Excellent !
No gas NO SERVICE
Man i have learned so much about diagnostic especially the importance of good grounds
With that kind of mileage, those injectors were ready for rebuild.
