Very helpful thanks 👍
Why can’t the compressor clutch be replaced rather than replace the whole compressor and clutch?
What is the machine you use to get voltage? How expensive are they?
Hello, I think your video Hello, I think your video content is too rich and real and interesting, I think it is really my honor to pay attention to you, I appreciate your explanation very much, I hope you can explain and recommend more and more good products in the future videos, I also used a very good product recently, because my family's car has been used for too long. As a result, last time I took my family on a trip, I was stopped on the halfway road. Fortunately, I always prepared a car smoke detector, found the problem and fixed it immediately, so I didn't waste a lot of time on the road. My family praised me for my great work, and I think my choice of products helped me. The powerscale M3 smoke machine leak detector is very good from amazon ,The key is that the quality is stable, the functions are complete, and the price is also favorable. I also recommend you to try to show the operation of this product. Perhaps your other fans love your interesting explanation and recommendation as much as I do, and have been supporting you
yo i got a 2001, come grab it and fix it for me lol
Since you know what cylinder giving PIDs and each cylnder has its own coil pack swap the coil pack and see if misfire follows. If so then that coil pack is the issue. If not, then the wire from the Coil pack to the CPM or possible the CPM has the issue.
Outstanding video!!!!
good jop
Best video I've ever watched and most detailed by chance what fixed the under boost problem
This is what is called expert troubleshooting analysis.
Truly the most thorough CZcams video that I've watched on troubleshooting an emissions leak with the use of a scan tool(I've watched several until finding this). This gentleman knows his trade. I wish I could find a mechanic with his level of competence and knowledge that I could take my vehicles to. I subscribed to the channel after watching this.
snap on needs to make an app, and tools that wireless communicate with each other, the snap on "tablet" is so bs
Very informative video. Thanks again for that valuable info..!
Thanks Man. I'm a DIY. Gonna try it on 2010 Mariner. Great vid.
my 2001 chevy s10 4.3L with only 90,000 miles had the P0410 code only , what gives ?
Same issue. Replaced coil pack and plugs. Still random misfiring.
VERY FINE TROUBLE SHOOTING !!! THANK YOU !!!
Wow thank you so much for making this video. I have 04 freestar same issues radio wouldn’t turn off;passenger window kept working with key out and wipers would turn on high speed and wouldn’t stop. I spent hours looking into this issue. This video saved me tons of money. I appreciate you posting this.
2004 pt cruiser no fan when ac switch on and no compressor engage, if i jump any of the 3 relays everything works independently low high and ac clutch ...i tried jumping the low pressure switch and it will not engage the ac clutch...the only way i can get high speed fan function is if i jump low and high speed fan relay at the same time....together the fan speed increases twice as fast....
So I also have a 2014 Ford fusion se and the cooling fan is not working with the ac on...and also the my ac is blowing hot air. Any ideas or suggestions?
Great fix!!!! Any reason the connector going into the intake would be wet?
My goodness, you look and sound like a young Christian Bale. :D
Why does my car shake when I start it
He is meticulous no doubt. However he is wasting too much time going around the bush. Replace all coils to include the worn out wiring harness and be done with it. The indication of a bad harness is evident and clear. For this car to be reliable the wiring harness must be replaced. Old Volvo cars had this issue. If this is a customers car a half partial repair will Have the customer back in the shop later complaining about the same issue.
What's the name of the Scan Tool you are using? I need one of them.
Any sorta of help would be greatly appreciated.
I've got an 02 avalon ad my daily driver. Started running sorta like this car did but only after it warmed up it has a minor miss. I don't have the equipment you do, I am pretty mechanically inclined. With that said, should I try what you did in this, I had a friend tell me the valve cover baffles clog up in these cars for whatever reason. My car starts up and runs fine until it almost reaches full operating tempature.
Heat! on those exhaust manifold nuts...I use a venum hp anytime I have to do exhaust...just had an 08 brought in on a roll back and will get an engine next week
Failed to mention engine size and sub model. Instant thumbs down 👎🏽
This guy looks like Sam from transformers
I ABSOLUTELY HATE THIS REPAIR! I HAVE HAD SO MUCH ANXIETY AND STRESS WITH THIS REPAIR! NOW I HAVE TO GET PAST THE HARDEST PART! PUT THE SILICONE GASKET ON AND THE ENGINE COVER ON WITHOUT SMEARING THE GASKET! 😰 I HAVE BEEN DREADING IT SO MUCH!!! 💔😭
Thank you so much for this video🙏🏽
Excellent video. Yes I’m on the quick Jack… will need a power tool now to get off!!
I like your analysis and tests done. The fluid in Cyl 1 is sure a mystery. A friend of mine’s same car with exactly the same issue. I suggested change all the plugs. It’s a good thing your issue is similar and nothing major. Her car does have an oil leak issue which could be more. Thanks for the video.
I got chevrolet impala 2010 I replaced fuel pump but when i start it some days it cranks right up other days it struggles crank and u can hear it wondering if it's the fuel line? But I don't wanna waste money on something ain't gonn fix it when ur on retirement u can't afford to fork out alot of money and shops lie to make money shit you don't need
Can anyone tell me where to switch air ride off to beable to jack or lift??
Same car same issue! I've done new starter, neutral safety switch, starter relay, transmission! Started once when I put the new neutral safety switch I drove then it wouldn't start back. Fun!!
Something similar going on with my car anyway to talk ?
I did everything step by step.. after I was done it through some codes. Oxygen sensor monitor Auction sensor heater monitor Cat monitor EGR and VVT system monitor Evaporative system Is there something I did wrong or could have not plugged in?
Before replacing cam sensor follow wires down to below on drive shaft the wires sag down and rub on it cutting the wires and shorting them out eventually will not start or Even just die on you once broken all the way very common problem and goes undetected have to open wire harness covering to find it but look you will see covering wear on it to
has alot of skills and i like the air tools, have to get me some, lol
My 2008 PT Cruiser is doing exactly the same thing.
You're a real mechanic, not just a parts replacer - love to see it. I wish you the best in your career.
Just saw this channel. Your vid’s are good! Come back!
That is a really big job and I would never buy one of them automobiles with that engine in it
Working on a flip cruze I found my coil issue finally the inside at the coil was all corroded
Very thorough break down
I have the exact same problem on a 2001 Dodge Dakota. It's had multiple new batteries & still it goes dead. I've paid for 3 different mechanics to look & fail to find the problem.
Put a multi-meter across the battery terminals,. Is the alternator charging it to 14v while running? If its not 14v while running then it either the alternator or the PCM. Or you have a parasitic drain on the battery while sitting.
Thanks
