205: Infiniti Q50 Dual Throttle Lean Condition

August 13, 2023 21:00 - 42 minutes - 29.5 MB

On this episode I go through the diagnosis of a 2015 Infiniti Q50, 3.7L V6, with a P0171 and P0174, lean condition. I'll share my thought process through the diagnostic steps tracking down the source of the positive fuel trims. My goal on this show is to share vehicle diagnostics that challenge me to come to a precise conclusion, this vehicle being one. I have a gut feeling I know the solution, but not enough data to condemn a part.   Website- https://autodiagpodcast.com/ Facebook Group- ...

206: Scope Rabbit Holes With Andrew Rogue

August 13, 2023 18:00 - 1 hour - 61.3 MB

Andrew reached out to me to discuss a misfire diagnostic on 2017 Chevrolet Malibu. He reached a conclusion, but was left with questions on the scope results. We'll discuss the problem and attempt to clear up what was really going on. This is great example of how powerful a lab-scope can be, but also how easy it can lead us down rabbit holes.  Website- https://autodiagpodcast.com/ Facebook Group- https://www.facebook.com/groups/223994012068320/ Email- [email protected] Please make...
