When faced with a variety of vehicles and the issues they are experiencing, hav-ing a solid diagnostic plan of attack will allow for not only a proper diagnosis but also an increase in efficiency. With both of those results combined, the confidence in your diagnostic abilities soars as well. 1. Our first problem vehicle has 130,767 miles on the clock along with an illuminated MIL. After interviewing the vehicle owner, we were informed that the vehicle started running rough, followed by the check engine light coming on when she was driving up a hill. We performed a visual inspection and noticed that the ignition coil had burn marks and rainbow-colored markings on the sides of them. We continued our plan by connecting the Ford IDS. We scanned for DTC: P0301 "Misfire on cylinder #1" 2. P0316 "Misfire on startup" 3. P052B "Cam start intake, camshaft position timing over retarded bank 1". |
