    Car engine cutting out? Only drives slow? Has your car or truck suddenly become very weak, even when flooring the gas pedal? Does the engine cut out at low speed? These symptoms present themselves when your car or truck's engine is not getting enough air to burn fuel. The average engine is tuned to burn 1 part fuel with approximately 14 parts air, so if your engine is not taking in enough clean air from outside, the computer will cut it off to prevent damage. In this video, Len shows you how to inspect your intake system for debris, dirty air filters, and hidden snacks that might be getting in the way.

    I had noticed my car lights flickering and even on the dashboard for a few weeks. I bought an engine air filter and changed it myself then noticed the flickering had gone so I’m sure it was because the older filter was restricting airflow to the engine since it was very dirty. I did learn something here. Thank you!

    Had a filter with the screen and think it was restricted my air flow . I was having rpm surge. After changing part after part I looked back at filter and changed it again with factory filter . Surge went away. Think even with screen it was cutting air back or swirling it to cause the problem?

    Can’t figure mine out…. Replaced my throttle body, battery, spark plugs, air filter, cabin filter, oil change, coolant change ect. It’s now in LIMP MODE and have researched a ton and tried everything and nothing is working. When I got my new throttle body… I picked it out of the box and had a rattle in it… I don’t know if it’s supposed to sound like that but had no choice but to put it on. I’ve watched videos and tips and tricks and nothing.

Watched due to limp mode as I bought a VERY CHEAP priced honda 2007 minivan & noticed TONS of bulky plastic b.s. below airtake box when changing battery & removed to clean visual of area as easy. But test drive QUICKLY tripped E. ck light! I'm guessing air straight into filter box like the old days does NOT compute! LOL

They were fine the night before then i go to start them and it was like there was little to no acceleration and i was flooring it. Sounded like i was doin 80mph but going 5mph. Im more mechanically inclined now but i wish i knew for sure what was going on with them. After seeing this video i never knew it could be something so simple. Anyway thanks for the video 👍

    So I have an 01 Lexus is300 252k miles and recently it died out on me while driving. Then crank no start code p0715 came on “intake/turbin tranny speed sensor” and I replaced it yet still crank no start. I haven’t changed my spark plugs in about a year. New throttle body, new fuel pump, relative new alternator (4yrs old), new cam gear and timing belt, it was on full tank. I did notice the air intake wasn’t full on the throttle body half was attached and half seemed to be sucked in a bit. Battery is kinda going but I have a jump box. Anyone have any ideas?
