How to Troubleshoot a Car Engine Losing Power

How to Troubleshoot a Car Engine Losing Power

Troubleshooting a car engine to determine why it's losing power is a challenging undertaking simply because of the complexity of car engine system. However, engine power loss is typically the result of fouled spark plugs, a failing fuel pump or a damaged ignition coil. Examining each of these components will help diagnose the problem so proper repair procedures can be implemented. Knowing where to start troubleshooting is half the challenge, and actually implementing procedures is straightforward, requiring only a few common tools. Related tools searches: car diagnostic tools, OBD2 Code Scanner,V-CHECKER V102


1.Park the car on a flat service in an environment, such as a garage, where you're comfortable to work and pop the hood. Disconnect the black boot from the negative battery terminal.
2.Consult your vehicle's owner's manual for the location of the engine spark plugs and ignition coils. Remove the spark plug cover by unfastening the mounting screws or bolts, depending on the model, with either a Philips screwdriver or socket wrench and socket.
3.Take note of where each spark plug boot is plugged and where each spark plug is fastened because they will need replacing in the exact same position. Disconnect the wiring of each spark plug by firmly pulling it off the plug by the wire boot.
4.Remove each spark plug using a socket wrench and socket. Closely examine the plugs for signs of damage and unusual wear. Replace any damaged spark plugs with an identical plug.
5.Consult the manual for the location of the accelerator cable, which should be located near the spark plug holes. Unfasten the accelerator cable bolt with a socket wrench and socket. Disconnect the cable from the ignition coil pack.
6.Remove the ignition coil pack mounting retaining bolts with a socket wrench and socket. Carefully lift the ignition coil pack off the engine. Thoroughly examine the ignition coil for signs of damage such as cracks, burn marks and wear. Replace the ignition coil if visible damage is present.
7.Reassemble the ignition coil and spark plugs. Plug the wires into each spark plug by pushing on the wire boots. Reconnect the negative battery terminal and lower the car hood.
8.Consult your owner's manual for the location of the fuel pump. Remove the bolts from the fuel pump cover with a socket wrench and socket. Locate the fuel rail and connect a fuel pressure gauge to the end.
9.Start the car and inspect the fuel pressure gauge for a reading. Consult the owner's manual for proper pressure and compare it to the current reading. Rev the car engine while checking the fuel pressure gauge and take note of any discrepancies in the reading.
10.Allow the car to run until the time the engine typically loses power while examining the fuel pressure gauge. Replace the fuel pump if the fuel pressure gauge shows inadequate fuel pressure or shows signs that the fuel pump loses pressure over time.
11.Take your vehicle to a certified mechanic if the problem persists or if nothing is visibly wrong with the spark plugs, ignition coil or fuel pump.

1). Choose CAS or EWS type.
2). Load the choose EEPROM file you will get the make dealer key window.
3). Choose key position and press "Make Dealer Key" button. Flow the given tips to prepare dealer key. After succeed you can save the new EEPROM dump file.
- For EWS1, EWS2, EWS3, EWS4, CAS1, CAS2, CAS3 type the prepared dealer key can start the engine directly.
- For some CA3+ type you need to write back the new dump file into car.
4). CAS3 encrypt data, only OBDII prepare make key is support for CAS3 encrypt data.

OBD2 scanners communication ways: USB, RS232, Bluetooth and Wifi

OBD2 scanners communication ways: USB, RS232, Bluetooth and Wifi
In the following parts, I conclude four OBD2 diagnostic scanner communication ways: Via COM port, serial port, Bluetooth, WIFI.
OBD2 diagnostic scanners connect to PC via USB(COM port)
USB OBD2 diagnostic scanners allows you to use your PC and a hardware interface to get the information from your car's computer, instead of show the test result directly on the interface screen, like stand-alone code scanners. These tools usually are very professional and works with one or more car models, they support reading fault codes, clear fault codes, read data live, etc.
OBD2 scanners connect to PC via RS232 (Serial Port)
In the list of our supplied OBD diagnostic scanners, some ones are connected to PC via RS232 (serial port). These tools includes: Honda HDS, Mercedes Benz star C3, star C4, Nissan Consult Diagnostic Interface, SBB key programmer, MC68HC05 Motorola 705 Programmer, Motorola 705 Programmer, MC68HC08 908 Motorola Programmer and more.  These tools contain professional diagnostic tools, car key programmer, ECU programmer, and more. No matter what the function they own, they works via serial port.
Want to learn more tools which is RS232 serial communication and knows how they work, browse http://www.uobd2.com/ or contact mail:Chinauobd2@gmail.com
OBD scanner communicate with computer via Bluetooth
We all know the pc-based OBD scan tools are working by USB cable that is connected computer to diagnostic interface, also part of OBD2 diagnostic tools are communicated by Bluetooth, take VAS5054 for example, VAS 5054A is a universal diagnostic interface for the vehicles of the Volkswagen Group and all OBD vehicle systems from other manufacturers. The integrated Bluetooth interface connects the vehicle with a notebook, desktop PC or test system. No cables are needed for vehicle diagnostics using the VAS 5054A. The range of the wireless Bluetooth connection is 5 to 10 meters, depending on the environment and the type of Bluetooth adapter used on the PC side. The Serial Port Profile (SPP) is used for data transfer via Bluetooth. Different Bluetooth security levels are supported.
Besides, we also have other Bluetooth OBD scanners, such as: ELM327 Bluetooth, Nissan Consult 3, Launch X431 Tool and Launch X431 Diagun.
OBD scanner works via WIFI
Today we introduce a new OBD2 scan tool, which is working by WIFI communication. This tool is WIFI327 WIFI USB OBD2 EOBD Scan Tool; WIFI327 OBD2 scanner is the latest PC-based scan tool. It supports all OBD-II protocols and is dispatched with a number of compatible programs. The output protocol (connection to laptop) is USB cable, it adds the new communication way: WIFI, the range of WIFI is more than 20m, and works much stable compared with Bluetooth communication.
