i almost fell off my bench when I heard you say a scope is cheap. Nothing like quality tools. Therefore picoscope seems to be what is pushed. These scopes are not cheap, let alone when you dont know how to use them fluently. Like reading a wiring diagram, with out a legend/parameters, thats almost impossible to interpret a lab scope.
Im a home mechanic. I dont work on cars for a living but I do believe in tools. Ive purchased a few as I watch your videos. You give me the confidence to try. But im coming to the point to think this isnt for me. Unless Im making money with these tools, they are not for people like me. I just get upset when I pay someone for something I could do. I'm self taught and I can pull my wait. Im what my dads calls a part changer. Not an engineer or a true mechanic. Either one can prove the part is defective w out a doubt, while a parts changer is leaning on luck, hear say or hope it will solve their issues. I love to know how to be more accurate on a Labscope. Ive purchased a pre own Vantage pro to try and learn. Issue is, my cars are never breaking down. I typically sell them before that happens. The longer once keeps a car, the more money you spend and older it is. I got into working on cars out off necessity. I was too poor to pay someone to fix one. I built lowriders growing up. My first car I could put in my name when I turned 18 was a 1964 Impala. I grew up w my dad working on his pos. I always wanted to have a car. They would buy me one nor let me drive until I turned 18. They didnt want to get sued for damages I would have caused behind the wheel nor were they willing to buy me insurance/gas to have a car. The day I turned 18 at midnight, I moved out of my house and in with my g/f who shortly thereafter became my wife. I bought my car of my dreams, took it on a flatbed to a body shop and we went to town! 100% restored and modified to the 9's. My parents insisted I go to college and get an education. My mom said, rather than being up all night and day, bending over the front end of a car or under it, getting dirty, get yourself an education and make enough money to pay someone to do it for you. I fell for that story and things didn't turn out as I was lead to believe. In any event, I buy projects from time to time to work with my hands and try to do something others don't think I have the capacity too. or to help someone else with less means who otherwise wold have financial hardships to keep their cars going.

So was the injector from the voltage reading shorted open? If reading voltage on the injector would not the key off sensors. relays and injector show anything?
I am trying to understand if I do not have these tools and all I have it the mfgs key switch diagnostics, a meter and jump wires and I am stuck on the road or heaven forbid everyone goes out of business and need to rely on my noggin and skills I need to build on.
I buy the older auto manuals that still have some manual test procedures, when diagnostic equipment was 5k to 10k on a crt screen.
I understand you are an hour shop and need to understand the situation and provide the customer a solution in a timely manner. The diagnostic tools can make that process clearer with the data returns.
Thanks for your time.
So if those engines are failing on rings, is it the materials, the specs on how tight/loose they are or lubrication types?

Sorry about your eye. that reminds me of a pirate talking to a barkeep:
'Hey, I haven't seen you in a while. What happened? You look terrible. '
'What do you mean? ' said the pirate, 'I feel fine. '
Bartender: What about the wooden leg? You didn't have that before.
Pirate: Well, we were in a battle and I got hit with a cannon ball, but I'm fine now.
Bartender: Well, ok, but what about that hook? What happened to your hand?
Pirate: We were in another battle. I boarded a ship and got into a sword fight. My hand was cut off. I got fitted with a hook. I'm fine, really.
Bartender: What about that eye patch?
Pirate: Oh, one day we were at sea and a flock of birds flew over. I looked up and one of them pooped in my eye.
Bartender: You're kidding, you lost an eye just from bird poop?
Pirate: It was my first day with the hook.

Your message to stick to your troubleshooting process can't be repeated enough times. Over and over you see professional YouTube mechanics forgetting this message. And it runs into much more serious consequences than wasting a few hours of time. The most resent example of this was Paul Danner (Scanner Danner. In his last two videos he first hydro-locked one car before realizing he had a ECM problem and in his last video sloppy handling of a trunk control module activated both the driver's and passenger's air bags on a Lincoln ( his comment about not caring about procedures just before the air bags went off was priceless. It was lucky no one was hurt. I'm sure his brother was thrilled having to replace both airbags for this customer since this was done at his brother's shop.

Driving down the road, window down, whack. Right where my glasses are close to my cheek. In fact, i had a sensation that something may have gone between the eyeglass lens and my eye. WTH Cheek throbbing, keep driving, about 10 minutes later i look down between my seats and there is a WASP crawling around. It comes to life, and lucky for me flies to the passenger window. Pull off on the side of the highway, my turn to do the whacking. No smart ass comments--- i am whacking the WASP.

The first cylinder's problem causes the computer to think the next two are the cause. This reminds me of computer programming; you can be notified of an error in your program, but the instruction the compiler (think of it as a grammar checker) cites as the problem is just where the error manifests itself. The actual cause of the error is one or more instructions prior.

I have done a lot of work the same or similar to what you do. I have found flushing my eye/ eyes with a sink sprayer (with carefully adjusted pressure) to almost always solve the foreign object problem. The only time this wouldn't have worked was when I got a steel sliver in my eye (which of course argues for always wearing eye protection.

So it was showing that bank running rich because the shorted injector was stuck open? And that caused the fuel trim to starve the other two cylinders of fuel? Or is it the other way around and the injector was stuck closed, causing the fuel trim to make the other two clinders rich enough to miss?

I usually get some crud in my eye when I'm under the car and not wearing eye protection. When I was much younger and much dumber I used to ride motorcycles bare faced, but with an open face helmet. Yeah, really dumb! Hope your eye gets gooder real soon. Thanks Mr. O. All the best.

Thank you for the video! Questions: How does the shorted #1 fuel injector cause other cylinders to misfire? But scan data shows #1 cylinder runs fine. How does the shorted #1 fuel injector cause the rear bank to run rich? Thank you very much!
