Finding Ignition Voltage Leaks – EricTheCarGuy

1. Great video. Helped me a lot

2. Thanks for sharing your experience

3. i have a 05 300c hemi and im having the same problems but the spark is more constant than the one in the video i bought some spark plug wires but then figured it could be my ignition coil any opinions of what could it be im lowkey on a budget if not i would’ve fixed both

4. I wish my car would run long enough to try this. : (

5. @3:00 what in the Bilbo Jenkins method is this and how come I've never heard of it

6. If someone can chime in do I have to replace the plugs/wires/coil with new ones at the same time?Because I had a arching coil pack and I replaced the coil with a junkyard one and used plug wires to see if it would fix the problem,a few days later I discovered ther was 2 cracked porcelain plugs and replaced those I then added more ground wires to be safe and still have arch.

   So my question is if I replace a coil or wires and had cracked porcealean plugs causing spark to arch at the coil even after a few days will this be enough to create carbon tracking and ruin the coil/wires?

   I mean the wiring to the coil is good so what else could it be otherwise?

7. My first car was a 1997 Buick LeSabre. Great car. I sold it to a mechanic after the fuel pump went out.

8. u can do it with test light or crewdriver

9. Thanks eric for the info

10. What was the solution? I realise it won't be same for everyone, but it'd be nice to know if it needed plugs, wires, a coil or combination of the three

11. Stay electrified🐍🐍

12. 2003 ranger 3.0 new plugs and wires and them thing still arc at spark plug

13. My Volvo s70 t5 has sparks coming out of the distribution cap. Should I change the distributor and rotor or coil?

14. Nice video

15. su eric, i'm a real panty sniffer and a dyi mech

16. fun fact, you can sometimes repair these kind of arcs with magic WD40. Just spray it everywhere. Sometimes, due to dirt and water electricity makes a path for it, like in a PCB, WD40 eats these pathes away and you don't get any misfires.

17. Ericthecarguy question I have a 99 Deville DE elegance model. the car will not start have new alternator crank sensors cam shafts sensor fuel pump spark plugs pcm ignition coil packs and still won't start on own…. but mechanic friend put the power wire from battery on to positive line for coil pack and it starts right up. …. why and how or what should be done to fix

18. you were like

    yyaayyy!!!

19. But was it the spark plugs the problems?

20. The ignition is not high voltage its high current.

21. instructions weren't clear enough. got my dick stuck in the oil drain.

22. There is nothing that gets your heart racing better than a 40,000 volt shock. Multiple coil pack systems are much safer. More expensive, to be sure. But they are also more efficient and deliver the maximum voltage and amperage to the plug.

23. Better use screw driver with wire earthing it to the engine body.
    Move it over the wires and it will chatter when on the crack site
