    I have said it before and I will say it again. There is no one else that makes things as easy and simple as you do. Great descriptions and great camera work as well. Thanks.

    Get a Actron CP9690 code tester. It'll check live, record, freeze frame,oxygen sensor test, smog test ready test and MORE! It is well lit! It comes in a black pouch.

    Can you please make a vid on changing the shifter bushings or what ever makes the shifter move like neutral while it in gear lol

    • @fr0ilan
      @fr0ilan Před 7 lety

      It may be more than just linkage bushings. Check your engine mounts, transmission mounts and also the shift rod seal. Those are the things you can check on the outside. If all of those are good, then you may have problems with the bearings inside, which means you have to separate the transmission from the engine. Those would be good things to cover in a video.

    Obviously it's easy to throw parts at the car when you're not paying for parts nor labor.

    • @tribewu3223
      @tribewu3223 Před 5 lety +12

      Then stop being a lil b and work on your car all this is more than easy anyone on their 5 common senses can do it. If you're smart you'll know where to buy cheap oem parts from, regardless you still gotta pay for parts lol or what u want them for free? Sounds like u shouldn't be owning one if u can't pay for your parts. Maybe a 1995 Civic would work for you?

    2006 MERCEDES C230 SPORT V6
    7 Of 8 Readiness ECU Check - Complete Drive Cycle In One Drive And No Ignition Off
    - PROVEN -
    STEP ZERO - The night before test; Clear DTC via OBDII - clear codes in Mercedes’ modules as well - pending and stored Further; As belt and suspenders disconnecting battery over night on positive side, let engine cold soak over night. Connect in the morning - the colder the better
    STEP ONE - Start car (do not let key sit in position II - just start and move quickly) and let idle 2:30 minutes with heated seat, front defroster, and rear defroster (Turn these on ASAP upon start). This keeps the idle under ~1400 RPM so secondary air can do it’s thing to begin readiness check.
    STEP TWO - Put car in drive and drive stop and go around neighborhood (no highway); using full stops to 0 MPH (Use the MB digital speedometer the whole time). Do this for 5 miles from start (about 25 stop and goes). If you've done correctly the time on the car should be 20 minutes from start. Do not go above 38 MPH. head back home half way so you land in your driveway
    STEP THREE - Put into reverse and back into driveway ~75 feet and put into park - your driveway is a good place to do this safely
    STEP FOUR - Let idle for about 3 minutes (listen for the pump to go on) and the secondary air readiness will be complete.
    STEP FIVE - Complete drive cycle by getting on highway with hazards lights on - drive at 57MPH (do not go below 55 MPH and use cruise control) for three minutes - after three minutes downshift to 19 MPH (do not use brakes, other wise repeat this step)
    STEP FIVE - Bring back up to 57 MPH with hazards on (do not go below 55 MPH and use cruise control) and hold for 5 minutes. slow to 0 MPH and hold for 3 seconds - again no brakes otherwise start step five again. This is dangerous so pick non peak time and a road that has shoulder. Watch your rear view mirror and do not impede traffic.
    STEP SIX - Repeat step four and five.
    STEP SEVEN - Drive to inspection station and do not turn car off period.
    Everything but the EVAP will be okayed and ready. Most inspection allow one readiness not to be complete - NYS is one of them; not sure about California

  • @blueandbanana
    @blueandbanana Před 3 lety

    CAT Not ready? EGR Not ready?
    Driving over 200 miles did NOT work! Here is what worked: in morning warm up car for ten minutes. Rev car to 2000 for two minutes. Drive at 50 MPH for ten minutes. No cruise control no AC. Then let go of accelerator. Don’t step on the break. Let car slow down as much as possible on its own. To check if car is ready for smog use code reader or turn car on (two clicks) not engine and look at Ck engine icon: if it stays on then go away you are good. If it blinks then your car is not ready for smog Ck. Hope this helps. I have been killing myself to solve the issue.

    Hi man ! I like your videos and you give me a lot of tips and tricks for the E46 that I would like to thank you and wish the best for you. So just keep up the good work here :)
    I just would like to ask something from you, in one of your videos you have taken out the engine hood sound proof (I mean for the black one) and in another video you put it back again.
    So my question is what are the pros and cons of having that sound proof ? (Or is it just for aesthetic purpose ?)
    Thank you for your answer in advance :)

    is that secondary air pump exclusive to US e46s? Ive never seen it on any Australian model.

    • @luisPerez-wy9cx
      @luisPerez-wy9cx Před 5 lety

      the highest emissions a vehicle produces occur during the first minute of a cold start. Cars in the US also have to have catalytic convertes that turn Hydro-carbons and carbon monoxide, into Carbon dioxide, and H2O(which is why your muffler leaks water). by using Secondary Injection pumps, it makes the csralytic converter more efficient and the extra oxygen help it burn hotter, thus causing it to heat up faster and produce lower emissions during a cold start :). we care about our emvironent a lot in terms of the automotive world despite what others may think

  • @588158
    @588158 Před 5 lety

    i need your advice. i had a check engine light for a gross evap system leak. i removed the schrader valve from the service port and connected smoke machine to the service port. i found a cracked hose where it connected to the charcoal canister. i clipped off the cracked end and i reconnected the hose to the canister. i screwed the schrader valve back into the service port and secured the service port cap .i then cleared the check engine light by disconnecting the battery and then reconnecting it. i have driven 160 miles since then but when i took the car for inspection the scanner says o2 sensor not ready.

    1: when I start my e46, the rpm goes to maximum, is it possible that my ecu is damaged? (any experience?)
    2: can you just replace("plug and play") the ecu without any programing?
    thx in advance
