It’s not just knowledgeability but the talent to explain and teach well, that makes someone [you!] a good teacher!
Thank you!
I am not savvy when it comes to cars, but I was able to completely follow along and not be overwhelmed or lost! THANK YOOU! 🙌🏼❤️
Thank you for your videos bud! I got into a bad accident and a lady destroyed my car , i bought a used Matrix while insurance and Lawyers settle the situation. These videos are a blessing.
Me being a backyard mechanic appreciates videos like this thanks
Facts
Glad it helped!
Can’t thank you enough for the list of items I can methodically go through and check just as you did. You explain it in such a fashion along with brilliant video cut aways, close-ups that allow me to follow you without any confusión. You’re clearly a fantastic communicator on this channel. I’ll continue to follow you as I want to take care of my overpriced car. Cheers dude!
Thank for the feedback, always great to hear!
Hey man this is great because I had those problems with my car before I watched your videos but now you've opened my eyes and saved me a lot of bucks, I'm now able to do all what you myself. Thanks.
#bucks!
The only video I've watched on CZcams that really talks about all elements that could cause rough idling. Thank you for your amazing content.
Thank you sooo much for you for sharing your, knowledgeable, methodical, commonsense approach to this issue! Much appreciated is the quality of the video you made and your ability to clearly articulate the material you have presented. You did a fabulous job taking the "rocket" out of science!! Thank you again.
Went to school for automotive been working on car since I was 12 you're very talented in relaying what you're doing in a non car person way Ida learn how to dumb it down great video
Finallllyyyy someone that got into detail and diagnosed a bunch of problems every other CZcams video was trash but this one😆🔥🔥
this will definitely help me, currently having issues with my car . so glad I came across this video and channel
This was the most useful video I've seen so far about a car
Just remember all rubber needs to be new and soft because it directly connects to your butt and spine.
This is a great work. Thanks for sharing. This video helps people like me who only has 2 choices either walk to everywhere or fixing my broken car. Again thanks.
Try changing Cabin Filter if you have rough idle issues when turning On AC. I have a 230K mileage lexus is250 that has a P0113 misfire and rough idles on R/D/AC On. Saw a video and manually cleaned carbon buildup on valves > cleaned fuel injector > cleaned spark plugs, throttle body and replaced engine and cabin filter. Now my car runs like Brand New! Thanks!
Wow I'm so impressed the way how you explain things. Great job Teacher... Congrat.
Really good
Appreciate the knowledge fam. Had a rough idle in my SRT 392. Put half a can of sea foam and filled the tank now it’s running smooth again.
Sweet! love the easy fixes
Found this video precise adn to the point. Nothing like those who waffle along and take detours to get to the main points.
Thanks and earned a new sub. Great work
Good video man you've confirmed all my suspicions. I learned about one more cause from you and that's the vacuum leaks and i thank you.
Thank you for this video. As a girlie girl, I've always wanted to know how engines work for when I have car trouble, I'll know which part they are talking about. I wouldn't mind taking a mechanics class also. This also puts my faith back in mechanics also; now that I now it could be more than one thing, that he's not just money gouging me.
I've watched so many videos to troubleshoot my rough idle for my brand new jeep compass. Thank you so much for a very detailed and helpful video. My spark plugs were to far apart. Thank you
Bro, you're a good Teacher.. 👍🏼
Thats a Toyota Corolla Bro.
I like how you do teach, keep it going.
Gtg see some car at the garage.
Keep it safe, and God Bless.
Wow, this guy knows his stuff. That is a good friend to have!
Great video! Such awesome advice and seafoam has been keeping my cars running great for decades now.
Your videos are very helpful! I am not a mechanic but your videos are very educating. Thank you
Thanks from Kenya,I love to deal with technical issues b4 I call in for help...wow this was a lesson on fuel and air systems maintenance..God bless you
Vb
Thank you Scotty! I'm able to follow along and diagnose my Mercedes E 500 and do my own repairs ....saving me a fortune! I appreciate you and all your videos.
Great to hear!
Thank you so much! I found that the pipe leading from the airbox to the engine was torn... I could't understand why the car sounded so good suddenly, but was jerkey at idle and acceleration. Thank you!
You're such a naturally good speaker and knowing your stuff makes for a very impressive video.
I will call the f****** police on you dude
Great video. I seen a guy clean his IAC with it still mounted. He removed the tube where it vents into the crankcase. While plugging the hole where the tube was attached with his finger he sprayed carb cleaner down through the throttle body into the IAC until it started to break up the carbon buildup. You can also tear the whole throttle body off and remove the IAC but, if you don't have to why? Thanks again.
Thank you for breaking everything down. Great video!
Just started having this issue. I’m leaning towards the fuel system, but it’s great to know the other areas that maybe the culprit. Thanks for the insight!
Haha, thanks for naming the new F0RD, the Culprit.
@@TeknakillI imagine it would be made to compete with the Dodge Charger
Thank you for this great video. It was really helpful. My wife Infinity was shaking violently and kept stalling. It turned out the connector to the air system was loose. Thank you! You saved us thousands of dollars in repair.
Great job!!
Do you know what that part is called? Thanks
The name of the connector to the hose?
I think its called a "hose connector". Hope this helps.@@marleyproductiongaming
Wow. This guy is WAY better than the other car guys in CZcams. Where the heck have you been? You have a new Subscriber sir!
this is definitely one of the best demonstrative videos do help people. helpful knowledge.
Excellent description. Even a non englishman can understand your talking quite easily. Kudos man! Subscribed..
We really appreciate your time and expertise, I was told it might be the compressor, when I took my car to an auto store to have the battery and alternator checked for my 2016 Nissan Versa, when I explained that the car shakes when the ac is on and the car is idle,
Definitely subscribing to keep up with your videos. Saving $ doing routine maintenance on 3 vehicles myself and by far you have the most helpful and educational video out there. Thanks 👍 looking forward to seeing the rest!
Pl
My RP m's got very low while idling Took everything apart and cleaned throttle out little cleaning fixed it. Saved lots of $
Your explaination was so simple but understandable...nice works bro👍👍👍
Trying to teach my son some basic engine/car stuff and this helped me help him. Thank you for taking the time to teach us.
Hey what's up how are I'll
Hello we changed out the spark plugs and the coils after some trouble shooting. Going to do the motor mounts this weekend thanks again
Very honestly and perfectly explained. Thank.
He is good, really appreciate his talent. Enough guidelines for those who really want to improve themselves. ❤
Wow! You are an awesome teacher. Thank you so much for the great information. We were dealing with a crank no start on my 2008 Toyota 4Runner 4.7 v8 sport edition for 6 grewling months. It was so disheartening. I watched so many videos to help my 62 year old hubby. Don't get me wrong he is a great mechanic. But, hes old school used to dealing with a carburator and no obd2 computer. Trust me, i made him absolutly nuts. Been married for 23 years but, having his wife second guess him was not good for his confidence and for that i am sorry. It's just that my father was dying and we are not well off. I made the mistake of buying the car with 232000 miles on it and not making sure things were maintained like he said they were. Getting older his memory was starting to wither. We or he replaced the bathery, checked the fuses and the 3 relays for the fuel pump, chsnged the gas cap. Cleaned the maf sensor, cleaned the trottle body unnecessary changed the crankshaft position sensor and he dropped the tank cleaned out the tank, changed the fuel filter and found out the fuel pump was ok, changed the spark plugs and still nothing. When my father passed away he left me some money, wait i forgot to add the ignition switch assembly with a set of keys to reprogram. Alot of money, alot and hope was gone. Had 2 codes po113 and po102. Check engine light and a couple others. The toyota dealership quoted me a price of 3500 to drop the tank clean it change the fuel pump assembly eventhough it doesnt say that on the service receipt nor at Toyotas main headquarters where it shows your service done. The installed the ignition switch i bought reprogramed the keys and after about 3 days finnally called me. The wierd thing is the diagnostic info had everything as a pass but the tires which i replaced and they said a " vacume leak that was no big deal and that the catalytic converter was rusty and needed to be reported but no big deal. They initially told me they could fix it in a couple days they were waiying for " the sucky thing for the fuel pump. And an o ring it would be available sometime next week. They wouldnt answer my questions when i asked them what parts were they waiting for? I said the fuel swnding uniti and the o ring. She never responded. I know its supposed to be a complete unit replaced. Meanwhile since she never would answer the phone or my text i called toyota. Of course they heard about it and sent me sn kinda nasty email i ignored it. Then on sunday the car was ready. Three days later. Even though they were waiting on parts to arrive in about a week. I cant help but feel scammed. They didnt even take the price of the diagnostic off the price they added it. Told me 1700 to drop the tank and replace the fuel filter was rhat much. To replace the ignition switch went from 1700 but since i had the part from florida at another dealership the took that down to 800. Then 189 for the fuel injectors cleaned and the butterfly thing cleaned. Sorry i forgot the name because i know nothing about cars, i just watched videos over and over. Throttle body. Thats it. Clean the throttle body for 199. All equaling 3600. I couldnt figure out how she did her math. Trust me i asked. Hense my call to Toyota headquarters. I Just wanted my car fixed nowcheck engine light back on with vsc off and squiggly line light. Im thinking cat. My question to you is how do you feel about catclean. I'd rather things and then I read bad things and I know nothing. Sorry it was so long. You seem like an honest gentleman that really calmed me. So much good info. I really live the suv. But, im so afraid they put little bobby traps in there and little by little i will pay again for calling toyota. I hope we dont need a new cat. We are now getting the dreaded po420 code. The car was light free then when my father passed away he drove from Louisiana to florida. Lights came on. I read somewhere that cats need to be warmed up to read properly and the fact they were about 600 miles warmed up that it was that. The cat is the reason for the check engine the vsc off and the sqiggles. I will never go back to that Toyota dealership ever again. I think its a shame because they lost someone that could have been a lifetime customer. It also makes me sad that human being could treat each other with such distain and in this world of technology , lack of morality, lack of the golden rule teachings and the religion of be good in your heart thats all that matters is gone. Texting a customer is apauling and shifty. Have the guts to use your voice before we lose sight of this beautiful world where life is so precious and short. I am 57 my dad was only 82. But , i still felt 12 around him. He knew how to do everything. I will forever be changed by his loss. People like you are one in a million. The way you teach is inspiring. Thank you.
You made this look so easy! Thank you.
Thank you. I know nothing about cars but you made this easy.
Thanks for this informative input, one of the best videos on CZcams.
Wow, thanks!
❤thanks a lot .. so I can really understand what the scanner said about my sensors and rough idili..thank you a lot ..I left my Captiva sport 2012 to be fix tune up and change Battery.im a 64 year old female and too hard for me do it and don't know, but love the way you explain in details..God keep you bless
Good stuff💯 Id trust him more than a certified mechanic😂😂
From Tanzania,, thanks for the knowledge you have shared.. it has saved my money.
My car was shaking so change motor and still shaking no problem bc had warranty on that probably my motor mounts thank you for this vid 🔥
I have a toyota rav4 2001 model and it started to give me this problem . Thanks for this will let my husband check everything 😅
😃 I started working on my own car recently and I enjoy doing it. This is a very informative video, thank you for sharing!
😄
What work have you done?
Hi Suly bolaños
Will marry me 💍 🛠️🏎️😍

Excellent clear, logical tutorial - you would be a great technical college tutor. 👍
Good to see lots of other female car lovers subscribed with you. And kind, helpful suggestions from all viewers.
Will share with my pals and look up your other videos.
God bless everyone that makes these videos. I always think the worst but now know if it's the worst and what to look for and expect.
I will call the police or fbi
thanks Josh, this is the video i've been searching for years, as i was researching i probably found many of the causes separetly but never a good well rounded explanation with examples like yours.
about the electronic throtle body, never knew you cant move it fortunately mine didnt breake when i held it open with my fingers and cleaned with wet wipes, it cleaned out nicely and the issue is gone, the idle is much better now as befor it used to go up and down a lot with the hot engine never after a cold start with the check engine ligth and the code for barometric pressure in the intake manifold.
still got a little bit of vibration/shakiness gonna have to check some things from your list if not it might be from the torque converter as i understand it can also cause vibration and shaking
i have a 3.2 fsi a6 c6
thanks again for a greate video!
Thanks for the vedeo..really great 👍

Thanks, this was really helpful in giving me a good starting list to go through as I try to get my recently purchased car on the road 🙂
This video was very informative. Thank you.
Big time help, thanks! Hope you keep doing these videos!
I agree, you are amazing! Loved your video explaining issues with older vehicles. I have a 2004 Hyundai Sonata and I am having the worst trouble with it overheating. Thanks so much!! AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!! 😁😘
Get rid of that car .you start to spend money on those cars and thats like putting whipped cream on shit 🤣
@Vince Calibur changed thermostat, radiator and more.

Great guide! Very clear and well put together video. Subscribed.
This is a great video, straight to the point explanation of possible causes. Browsing your other videos now.
Very structured well explainned video, thanks !
Excellent presentation and subject matter knowledge.
One of the most informative videos I've come across.
Thanks for that 🤙🏽
so much information in one video thank you man
My 2006 vibe had a terribly dirty air intake I took it all apart cleaned everything and new gaskets and starter when I get my stuff in the mail😁
Thank you! I'm very afraid of trying to do any of this myself but i have a used car that just started doing this. Although it's very weak at this point I don't have any money for another car or for having to pay for an expensive repair so I'm desperate enough to try and diagnose the issue on my own. I really hope I can figure it out.
I love all this information. It helps me to understand what needs to be done less money.
Great!
VERY thorough as a guide of what and how likely things are to make for a rough running engine
Informative and to the point. Wish my mustang plugs were as accessable as yours because that's what I suspect is contributing to my shaking while in gear with acceleration lacking in power.
Wouldn't the plug wires also be suspect?
Thanks man your presentation is so good. I believe you.
Your on point. My filter hose is fd up like what you mentioned. Same with the motor mounts. The sparkplugs needs changing as well. Whew. 2003 Honda Accord, we will make it through 2021, I trust you.
I am back in this video after my Trailblazer went shaking violently wow
Great explanation, and really great tips, thanks for sharing.. thanks
Wow! Your intelligence helped me to be smarter and self-sufficient...🙋♀️....As a female, I feel good when I'm learning to do it myself and don't have to ask anyone to help me....I'm educating myself to help others.......very helpful video...thank you sooo much.
I had it
I changed the air filter which was trribbly dirty. Slowly and gradually idle improved
Man i usually write if im going to talk bad.so let me tell you ، ،you made change today. Great job.well done.clear ,simply covered.great class ,thank you.fealry you have ability for exploration and guiding. Would like to say some thing bad,but i couldnt spot any.so i hate me
I’m new and I’ve been wondering these things you taught me something in one video subbed
A little shaking & vibrating never hurts anyone, it certainly can FEEL Good!!
Of course not just wears down all components of your car faster
excellent breakdown of potential issues, thank you sir.
Welcome!
Don't know where you're at in life now dude but this actually helped me out
I’m here reading your comment 😂 Glad I could help
Thank you so much for this video! It’s very helpful and confirms everything I was thinking. I have a car that has a vibration/shake (rattles the doors sometimes) when stopped, and I took it back to the dealership when it needed the AC compressor replaced and mentioned it to them. They did nothing about it and pretty much ignored it. Now I’m trying to figure it out myself. I’m about to replace the spark plugs first, hoping this fixes the problem since it didn’t appear to be the motor mounts.
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.

Thank you brother. This is helpful.
Great explanation for the beginners, good job
Yo this vid is super necessary. Thanks bro
Thanks for this point. why do my engine rpm drops below 1 at interval especially when the engine is heated and the AC on in traffic
Wonderful Video bro. Even a child can understand. Thanks.

Salut from Turkey for your kind and comprehensive describe. Good job healthy days.
Wow I’m very impressed this video will help me and others to do step by step procedure thank you so much for sharing
Nice work! I learn't alot by watching this video👍🏾
It's easy to see cracked or broken motor mounts, but sometimes they're saggy or hard as rock so also check for that. Sometimes people will just do a visual without checking for anything else. You can poke them with a screwdriver to check for stiffness or even too soft.
Very clear and informative, great video, thank you !
You’re welcome!
Thank you sir. God bless. 🙏🏻
Very informative.Thanks for sharing!
Very helpful video thank you so much.
