Sounds like Chris fix it voice slowed down. 🤔

I feel like it should have been obvious but you are the only person to mention the gas smell because of bad ignition coil. I was racking my brain trying to figure out if it was a clogged fuel injector or the coil but that last comment seals the deal hopefully replacing the coil fixes the problem thanks!!

[MEP]

Really loved how direct and easy he put this information I had a hunch on it being my coils what led me here but the way he put the info just about validated what i'm experiencing thanks bro!

[Taralace]

OMG thank you for being so "to the point" last thing I wanna hear is a bunch of no-need BS. this was beautiful and helped me know my coils were bad. God bless

[Velben]

You can tell he really enjoys this stuff. I know nothing about cars so I'm glad you are here..lol My car started with the Trac Off light then the Check Engine light came on. I had two readings of cylinder misfire. Yep its hard to accelerate now. This is definitely my problem.

[alieyesonme]

You're the best bro, for many reasons, here's a prime example I've watched other videos today pertaining to bad ignition coils and how to troubleshoot them properly and not once has anybody said to simply watch for the rough idle and simply change out each coil pack until the rough idle stops lol, everybody was using multimeters and 20 minute videos blah blah blah you're the best man thank you

[acerjuglans]

Accurate, right down to the smell of gas. Thanks for confirming my suspicions!

Had this happened to me while on the freeway, going 100 km/h. Sudden loss of power and excessive shaking. Decided to keep driving to the garage (~10km) where they concluded it was indeed the ignition coil (as i suspected). They had to order the part, but once they had it, it was fixed in 20 minutes. Including parts and work, it cost me 165 euro's. It sucks, but compared to other car trouble, this was nothing :).

One problem that is not often mentioned in the many videos I've watched on Ford / Mercury ignition problems. If you replace plugs and coils and other parts, and find your engine light still comes on after a while, or shortly after replacing parts, the real problem is that the main computer needs to be reprogrammed. I spent about 800 dollars replacing plugs and coils twice, mechanics replacing parts, etc. all which did not solve the problem. You may also notice the car jerks when you accelerate, as though you have a transmission problem. The real problem is not the transmission. The main computer has to be reprogrammed. Another symptom is the air conditioner compressor will shut down; you will not have air conditioning. That is to protect the AC compressor. Once you have the main computer reprogrammed, the AC compressor will work. I went to 6 different Ford dealers in Miami / Ft. Lauderdale, and none of the six mentioned a thing about reprogramming the main computer. I was told by several dealers, not knowing about the main computer at that time, that "there's nothing you can do."
One Ford dealer had the car a full day, and said I might have to replace the main computer, and that they cant do that, because Ford no longer carries them.
I finally found a Ford dealership (Pines Ford) who said they could reprogram the main computer. Regular scanners can't reprogram your computer. It requires a bi-directional scanner, a Ford subscription for the scanner, and someone who knows the procedure required to reprogram. For that reason, IMO, it's best to take it to a Ford dealer who can reprogram the computer, and they can also check to make sure your plugs and coils are all functioning correctly. They can also check for vacuum leaks, vacuum hoses that may need replacing, bad coil connectors, etc. Not cheap, but better than paying a mechanic to replace parts that won't fix the problem.

Brief and to the point - perfect! Subscribed for that one thousand horsepower!

Thank you for this. When you said the smell of gas i realized this is what is probably causing my engine to misfire. I’ve been smelling gas for the past week and didn’t think much of it. I got my resonators removed today and the problem started happening. Hopefully it’s just coincidence and the ignition coil is what I need to replace.

You are a very humble man, god bless you now and always. You are very respectful and very descriptive. Thank you so much. Big fan and a new subscriber to your channel

[adamjhuber]

I subscribed, but my 2003 Acura TL only saw a 950hp increase. 😂Thanks for the simple yet informative video.

[wickedwizard]

I liked and subscribed and my 02 camry turned into a rolls royce phantom Thanx easy auto fix🤟🤟

[lobotomysarecool]

was on my way home from work and barely made it, luckily my mechanic makes midnight repair trips for me. second time in a month this issue occurred. don't smell gas, but a foul gross stench. acceleration is difficult- can't maintain over 40 pushing the max, very rough idle. thanks for the video! went and got all new spark plugs and coil packs today!

[ernestjion]

straight forward explanation. I recently had this issue but instead of fixing the ignition coil, i changed my spark plugs (which is almost due by the way). not long after the spark plugs replacement, my car was still jerking on low RPM (1, 000 - 1, 500). after inspection at a proper workshop, they discovered that 2 out of 4 ignition coils were not working properly. Now waiting for the parts to be delivered and hopefuly this will solve the jerking issues.

[eeyvrcs]

I fixed the biggest problem but couldn't handle the extra horsepower it unlocked and I totaled my car.. totally worth it!

[siastheyoutuber]

This was what was wrong with my car, but this video talks about the symptoms as if they’ll happen at least a few days before your car breaks down. My car only had low fuel economy before the drive in which it broke down, and only began occasional vibrations about 10 minutes before it broke down(I thought it was a wheel problem). Stopped at a red light and could barely accelerate and car began shaking badly so I pulled over. It’s weird because usually I’m hypersensitive to anything wrong with my car and it’s noises/movements.

[GMacII]

Awesome video. This is the EXACT problem with my vehicle. The smell of gas and a rough idle. Purchased 6 new spark plugs, a coil, and gasket. Putting them on bright and early tomorrow.
