Thank you so much bc I’m having these issues right now but I was told that the timing was gone gone and the catalyst converter needed to be replaced $3000 worth of work but everything you just spoke of is exactly what is going on with the car now for about a week
I had a 2004 Silverado 1500 Z71 and it had a hard starting issue and stalled twice and eventually I lost the truck due to family problems etc.. after the first time I put 7gals of gas in and it still wouldn't make it more than a mile or two I had to leave it in a parking lot for a couple weeks and had to tow it to a family members house. It never started and idled on it's own after that either you could use starting fluid or gas to keep it running till you stopped spraying, it was also about 30⁰F so that didn't help. I changed fuel pump still nothing, checked pressure at the front and it sprayed fuel out but no fuel was getting to throttle body.
@@Mostromstunt hi there so was that the fuel filter .coz our car give probleme .sometimes is start sometimes not .and stalling when drive what can be the probl
Great video! I'm going down the list for a hard starting 05 durango. I put a new fuel evap valve and a air temperature sensor. It now starts immediately when cold, but once warm it's still same story. The strange thing is that I time it and it always fires up at 7 seconds and purs. I'm going to change the fuel filter next but not too sure. Any other thoughts? Thanks again!
Do check the evap system as a whole. There may be air leak in the system.Not sure but the evap valve might open up when warm and air may enter like a vacuum leak. also replace fuel filter if too old. Also try disconnecting the new IAT sensor and start. New components may have different calibrations, just to be sure.
My 2004 BMW 325i only got 15 MPG since I bought it 5 years ago. I cleaned the MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR and I'm getting around 30+ now!!! (It never threw a fault code for anything. Including Oxygen Sensors.)
I had clogged fuel filter and my car would start and run fine until I got to 25-30 mph then it would die. It had a little tiny fuel filter. I cut the filter open and looked at it under a microscope. It had a simple plastic mesh screen. Every single opening in the screen had a rust particle in it. A week later the same thing happened again. I couldn't make it the last 1/4 mile to the ford dealer to get a new one. I thought I would of had more than a week before the new one clogged up. I solved the problem by putting a inline Fram fuel filter. It was way bigger and had a paper type filter. Years later I took the gas tank out to inspect it and found a bunch of rust in it. Georgia rain and humidity is really rough on anything that can rust.
God thats really weird, fuel acts same like oil to rust, ie antirusting properties. Its really rare to see rust in fuel lines and tank or anywhere it touches or meets, unless the rust is externally introduced.
Just this day I experienced stalling for several times, shuddering before it stalls. I thought it was a clogged in the injectors parts or in the injector nozzles but I consulted a mechanic and he said the fuel pump/fuel filter be replaced.
This was pretty helpful my car my fuel pump is bad I probably had to replace it I've been watching other videos to make sure it was it it was showing signs when I was driving I heard a big pop sound in my backseat and when I put it in park or reverse and make this crazy loud sound in the backseat
I have a fairly new battery and alternator in my car, but the past few days it has taken longer to turn over when starting it after it's been sitting overnight. I also noticed a couple times when the power seemed to dip a little at lower speeds. Is this a clogged fuel filter? If so, will replacing the filter take care of any problems?
The starting issue could be high voltage drain from electronics and might drain the battery over night. Do check the current drain at idle. If the filter is too old do replace it like more than 2 years or more than 40k miles on it. Also the filter if clogged mostly shows its symptoms at high engine speeds or at heavy load where fuel requirements are high. Do check the spark plug if greasy, clean throttle body, check any air restrictions like bad filter, or vacuum leaks.
hi there,this could be a bad air or fuel filter or related sensors or even dirty throttle body. Clean all the air intake sensors, throttle body and change the filters if too old. All these should be done as preventive periodically.
Plz help. When i turned my gmc terain on after getting gas. It puttered a little. I went to rev on the gas and heald it at 3 rpm and it puttered as i let off it then puttered again. It seems fine while driving but noticble loss of power... a slight rich smell upon starting as well. Any insight would be increable to me
Sure no problem, it will protect engine longer at the cost of mileage. Oil designed for trucks will be much thicker. So pumping loses will be high. jst thats ol
Nice video. My cars is having issues when i cold start it, i have to crank the engine 5-6 times to start it. My engine light isnt on so im not very sure if it is my fuel filter.
This happens due to variety of reasons like, leak at fuel lines, fuel pump giving low power output, fuel regulator partially open. these are the reasons from fuel side. from electricl side there are many more. Firstly check the fuel pressure at the start using an external guage.
My car starts with no problems but it will ramdomly after stopping not pick up speed after pressing on gas an hard times picking up speed go up hills. Any help on what could be wrong
There are many possible reasons for same, starting with dirty air filter, vacuume leaks, throttle body problems, dirty maf or map sensors, dirty fuel filter or even a bad fuel regulator. Any one can cause the said issue. Have to go through each one, step by step. Mostly the throttle body makes such issues, tps unit malfuction.
Good Video .... strangely this happend to my car after changing to a new fuel filter.......the car makes a strange noise like a resonance when accelerating and at idle the engine vibrates...almost to stop......I never thought s new fuel filter could give me a hard time!
Hi, My ford ranger starts just fine however when accelerating, the vehicle is struggling to accelerate especially when going up hill ... the engine ravs or I need to press on the paddle to normalize the speed. I've cleaned the throttle body and sensor however problem still there... pliz advise
it would be good to specify at which points you talk about fuel filter in the gas tank by the fuel pump and fuel filter by the engine. At least my car has it like that.
Its similar for both the cases and types. there's only one fault that can occur which is filter restrictions due to contaminations. It doesn't matter if the filter sits before or after pump or inside or outside the tank. All these construction gives out similar symptoms.
There're many reasons for no start....like blown fuses,relays,bad fuel pump, fuel pressure sensor, regulator, ignition control devices. Does the vehicle give any specific ETCs?
Hi my my suv keeps turning off and the steering wheel locks also . It just starting turning off today. But it's been locking through steering wheel for 2 weeks now and i got the fuel thing fix and the sensor idk what else it can be
That is exactly what just started happening in my truck today. So I filled the tank put some Fuel drier in and will replace the filter tomorrow. I was noticing less power and less fuel economy so I was already suspicious last week. Maybe I got some bad gasoline.
Has anyone ever had issues when your pumping gas and after a certain point it starts spilling?? I already dropped the tank and checked for any cracks in the hoses,lines, and tank itself but still same issue. Let me know if y’all had this problem before and how to fix it thank you.
What’s weird is my 4.6l mustang idles and starts fine and revs out fine but bogs when accelerating under load, overall it has less power but falls on its face totally when I’m trying to accept see 4k rpm. What do you think? Could it be the filter? Maybe the pump?
Pump or filter may give out similar issues. But if pump fails,can give out wavey whining sounds. When free revving, engine requires less fuel and under load, requires more. Could change the filter first if its too old. Also clean the air intake sensors as preventive.
@@brandondannys-menary3678 hey buddy my 98 4.6 is doing the EXACT same thing, idk abt rpm but it does it at abt 40-50. did you figure out what the problem was ?
My mazda 6 2008 diesel was idle then suddenly the yellow engine light popped up. I felt like the engine was vibrating a lot more. Loss of power when acclerating. It was just fine when i drove it an hour before.
Hey mate, thanks for this video, need your advice, my honda fit/jazz 1.3-cvt is having these symptoms. Works fine on flat surfaces but struggles and slow during up hills. Seems to be losing power. Have to press down to 3-4k rpms to slowly regain speed but consumes more gas. Also, makes a whining sound while driving. It currently has 201kms on the clock. Do you think changing the fuel filter will resolve my problems? Thanks in advance
Hey there, if the filter is too old,could change as preventive but looks like its not the filter, i guess bcs filter gives out most troubles at higher engine rpms. Do clean the intake sensors maf n map first. The whining sound isn't a good sign though, may be the cvt is wearing out. So do clean the sensors first also check the vvt system is working good. Sometimes the vvt solenoid can misbehaving and give out power troubles.
@@dailyhandsdiy thanks for the reply. I have already cleaned the maf sensor but still the same. im also suspecting maybe my fuel pump is failing. Can that cause my issues? Ill check the vvt. Thanks
Do clean map sensor too,its more imp than maf in petrol heads. Also vvt n cvt too. Cvt transmission too can cause the issue. Whining sound could be frm transmission bearings which affects the cvt operation.
I have a 2000 24 valve cummins, the engine is stock, when I start it, it idles fine and up to around 40 mph it has no problems, but if I go heavy on the gas it blows blueish white smoke and the entire truck vibrates and shakes, I changed the air filter and it got worse, the truck has 350k miles on it and I'm not sure if the fuel filter has ever been changed Any idea on what the exact issue could be?
My 2008 Pontiac G6 starts fine but putter's and shakes a little while sitting and now it won't go over 40 mph I was thinking of changing the fuel filter but I'm not exactly sure the issue
Hi there, if the fuel filter is too old needs a replacement as a preventive. but here cannot say its filter, a mis aligned or failing throttle body or related position sensor, dirty air intake sensors, ignition system failures etc.. all give similar symptoms. So first replace the filters ie air n fuel if old. Check the spark in spark plugs n clean if greasy, clean the air intake sensors and check the throttle position sensor. Do step by step untill its resolved. Also do you have a check engine light lit up?
I was driving somewhere and everything got stiff suddenly and lost power like when a serpentine belts rips, but in this case it wasn’t that so I don’t know if it was that🤧
Gud video sirji,, I have a swift diesel 2012 model almost 90k run n well timely maintained car which runs butter smooth n in love driving ,,,yesterday i Went to ooty hill station with 3 people n weather was cold ,, while I was started the hill climb in the morning with lot of hairpin curves, after driving with using only 2nd gear while climbing for 12km uphill ,, at one point with uphill traffic stopped n when I hit the 1st gear, there was no acceleration wen pressed hard, car was not at all moving!!! I was literally shaken wat to do n then some how made it barely move it with less acceleration n took u turn n came back downhill :( wat do u think the issue is,, I started my journey back to bangalore on NHighway ,, it was all normal,, wondering wat to do if I again to hill station!?
I guess now i know what the problem is,my engine kept stalling when i drive at slow speed and when i slow down at traffic light,even completely off when i didn't step on the gas pedal.
I have the same issue. When I'm driving at a very slow speed or I'm at a light waiting for it to turn green my car has turned off and it turns back on right away. So I'm assuming it's the filter or fuel pump 😒
my honda starts right up. i start driving and it will be alright for a few 30 seconds then will start to stutter and backfire and wont give gas when i try to accelerate. and in a little uphill it would not give any gas and would stutter alot till it completely slows down and stalls. if it’s a road declining, it would seem to go okay. can anyone help me out please edit: every stop i come to i have to turn engine off and back on for it to keep going just so i could make it home. becuz if i dont shut it off when i drive it will start to stutter and not give gas.
Can anyone help? Have a 2017 Hyundai Elantra…car is idling fine, not running rough-if it is, it’s so slight it’s barely worth mentioning…periodically when I’m coming to a stop it stalls, but has no trouble starting back up-doesn’t stall every time I stop though, just periodically. Once it’s happened while I was coasting before braking to come to a stop. Changed spark plugs, cleaned throttle body, no codes at all…I’ve put fuel treatment/injector cleaner in. It may be idling a little low, but no sputtering or surging or noise from motor? It has a little hesitation when taking off from a stop but maintains speed, no trouble changing gears, no bad gas mileage..Any ideas? Never had a car stall where there wasn’t a check engine light coming on or obvious issues where I could hear/feel it from the engine & im just completely stumped…any help would be greatly appreciated!
I was driving and just stalled out at a stop sign whenever I started the car back up didn't wanna start but now I can't go faster than 40 mph and seems like my car is losing power could that be the fuel filter or is that a transmission issue?
Hi a no start cannot be a transmission issue. Replace the filter if its too old, check the fuel pressure on demand. A fuel regulator which is about to fail used to give such symptoms. Also a failing Throttle position sensor or dirty throttle body too used to give such issues.
If anyone could answer this it would really help. My car has misfire shakes when I go in reverse only. Once I put it in drive it will shake a little bit more but will stop and drive smooth. I had a new engine replaced in and the CEL came on and took it to my mechanic. He said it was a fuel problem so to put in premium gas. He replaced some coils and plugs but it still does the misfire shake in reverse.
@@dailyhandsdiy yes he said it was the 849 (P0351) Ignition coil “a” primary/ secondary circuit sporadic. He said he replaced it and that it should clear up the issue. It didn’t 😅. I’ve been noticing though that my car has a smell of fuel from the exhaust lately… not too sure if it’s the fuel injections themselves or fuel filter. I’m taking my car to go get the filter changed out to see if that fixes the problem but if it doesn’t I’m gonna have to keep cracking down what the problem is.
Fuel smell from exhaust means the engine is running rich or one or more cylinders have got a misfire. Any how, if the filter is too old its a good idea to change it and see.
Hello, I was driving in the highway and all the sudden my steering wheel was extremely hard to move and when I tried pressing on the gas pedal it wouldn’t accelerate what’s the cause of that. I know my car not accelerating is a result to a change in a fuel filter but what’s the issue of my steering wheel locking? Thank you!
If your car has an electrical power steering pump, steering wheel becomes hard when the engine stops running. But if the car has a steering fluid means it's time to change the fluid.
This what happens to me. And now it's turning off at stops lights. Barely happened today. They just fixed the fuel thing not to long ago so idk what it can be
If the filter is more than 30k kms or if any other filter is due....change that all...clean evey air intake sensor and throttle body. These are all preventive services.
Hey I don't know If you still replying to the comments on this but I have recently bought a 97 gtt cladina (turbo auto) it idles rough but under light load it drives fine, until idle or you try put your foot down it starts to have a miss if it's a miss just doesn't want to accelerate and will drop power then pick up power the cough and fart, it's sort of hard to explain I have ordered new coils and spark plugs for it hoping thag may be the issue, but would like to know what else may cause this issue if it continues
Hi there, yes the spark plugs or coils used to give sich hickups n power drops. Similarly do clean the air intake sensors(maf n map)and throttle body. Check the evap system and vacuum leaks. Check the injectors health and change the fuel filter if too old. These are preventive maintenance services which have to be done anyway. And see if the issue reoccurs.
@@dailyhandsdiy Thank you for the reply to do with cleaning the intake sensors I only have air temp sensors and I've been told that going bad wouldn't normally cause a misfire, how ever I can buy a new one just incase
Hi. I have one e class 2020 and the car have 58 000 km. The consum of diesel is great about 4.5 l for 100 km, but some time the car begin to consum dubbel diesel than normal and if i turn off the engine the ventilation still continue to work for some minutes. This problem last not to much and after that the car be back to normal consumtion. One guy on mercedes service told me that this is a normal proces of autocleaning for diesel or diesel filter from the car but im not sure about that.
Hi there is a process of dpf regeneration where engine is performed at peak working cycle to burn the carbon and the engine may rev high mostly. But can't say it consumes double the fuel.
My car has a long crank but turns on, this only happens when it sits for while but once I turn it on and drive and then turn it off then it’s cranks fine it’s only when it sits for a while and I go to turn it on for the first time in a while! What could this be?
Hi there, Its mostly when there's a air in the fuel line or fuel delivery pump low efficiency at cold starts. Do check the fuel lines for any leaks. Also check the intake air sensors or clean them.
My car stalls when it is at a full stop but no check engine light I’ve changed spark plugs but it’s still stalling does anyone know what could be the problem
I got a misfire cylinder 4,got new plugs in coil an oil changed ,still rough idle in engine has a light shake...im leaning towards fuel filter next 05 cadillac cts
So this only happens from a stop like in the video wen I accelerate from stop it goes towards 3k then back down seems like it hesitate Would that be the air filter?
When I turn my car ignition to - on, I can hear the fuel pump sound but it never stops. If then I turn ignition off and back on 2nd time, I dont hear fuel pump buz anymore. After starting car it dies afyer few secs, if gas pedal is pressed then stays alive few secs more. Could this be bad fuel pump and filter?
Hi there, a completely chocked filter can cause this issue or if there's air in fuel line. Check if the fuel line has proper pressure. There are other reasons like, bad intake sensors or cam or crank sensors, ignition devices. So have to check through each one. Firstly check for proper fuel pressure in line.
@@dailyhandsdiy Hey thanks for the feedback man!. Yeah I've done just about every check including replacing both camshaft positioning sensors to no avail. Now it's just pull the plugs , & with the f150s track record, probably break a few. Yea Fun and then the fuel filter. Ok thanks again!
Bro in my car there is problem of engine checklight, it comes when we are going above 140 km speed in highway. When i diagnose it,it doesn't shows the problem.Can you help me ?
Brother be sure the scanner is set in correct protocol that the car supports. Or check the previous fault codes. Check engine light at high speed cruising can be off fuel starvation or air starvation as its the time engine needs both at high rates. A bad air or fuel filter can cause this when under high engine demand. Its can be of other things like oil overheating n all so need to get the fault codes ecm picked up.
Is this the reason why my car never goes pass 2000rpm and lose power when I drive on the freeway with over 65mph? My rpm meter doesn't go over 2000rpm and jerks and sputters when I try to accelerate at high speeds on the freeways. Please help!
This could be one of the reasons. But have to check it properly, a faulty igntn coil, miscalibrated air intake sensors, even clogged air filter can cause rpm restrictions n misfire. Does the car starts fine?
@@dailyhandsdiy yes car starts fine no hesitation only problem I have is power loss on freeway and rpm meter works most times but never go pass 2000rpm.i checked with ob2 scanner but no codes shows. Ive checked spark plugs and coils everything looks fine on that part.
Hm have you got a maf sensor on your car, if yes pls do check that too. Also a bad throttle body or TPS sensor too will activate the limp mode on yr car. The problem should be somewhere in air intake parts. Also check all the fuses and relays.
@@dailyhandsdiy I will check everything you are guiding me towards thank you I will give you an update if the issue have been solved. Really appreciate your replies and love your channel keep up the good work!
Does the car throw a check engine light. A failing crank sensor used to give such headaches. car starts fine when engine cools down. There are plenty other reasons too.
OMG PLEASE HELP!! I have a 09 ford focus and I GOT NEW SPARK PLUGS, A NEW FUEL PUMP, A NEW BATTERY AND AND OIL CHANGE BUT IT KEEPS STALLING AND WHEN I START IT MY CHECK ENGINE, BATTERY, and OIL LIGHT COMES ON. When I drive it shakes like it wants to cut off.
Dont know if you or anyone one can helop but i have a 2004 nissan pathfinder its suppsoed to get decent fuel mileage but ive been getting 12mpg almost just like 200 miles till 18-19gal fill up. I replaced all spark plugs and ignition coils did an oil change with an oem nissan filter the fuel filter was changed recent and I have tried to to seafoam top end cleaners and fuel additives just recent I tried Bg 44k Platinum. Idk if the new filter is clogged since the car doesn't shake or have lights and has amazing pickup speed. It does have a slight rough idle definitely not new car smooth but i do not know what it could be. Cleaned mass airflow and the air filter is already good. Only things I can think of is a bad pcv valve, bad fuel filter, or lazy O2 sensor but I would have to check with a mechanic on that.
I would appreciate if anybody could answer this. My wife’s car idles pretty good. I can rev it up just fine in park. When I put it in drive, as I accelerate it stalls almost immediately. So idles just fine, stalls at acceleration. I changed the fuel pump, and cleaned the throttle body, which was filthy. Any ideas? Could it be throttle position sensor? Fuel filter? Something else?
Major reasons are, severe intake vacuum leak, clogged fuel filter. Also a simple air filter too can cause this. If tps is bad the car should reflect even at park. Anyway itsa piece of electronics.
@@dailyhandsdiy turns out it was the throttle body or throttle position I sensor. I just put in a new throttle body it’s it’s running good. Thanks for your advice though!
Glad its fixed...It should be the butterfly valve. It makes the same effect of a clogged air filter ie air restriction. It should be an electrically actuated valve i guess.
This could be anything from air or fuel starvations or even a vacuum leak. Change the air filter n fuel filter if its too old. Clean all the air intake sensors too. If these basics doesn't change anything, should go deeper checks. Any lights on dash?
@@dailyhandsdiy no, the computer has been disconnected so when you hook up a hand held it won't connect. Air filter is new, I will change the fuel filter. Could this be an EGR valve problem? Thanks
If its an egr issue you might see unexpected huge black smoke when the problem occurs if its diesel head.but not on any particular speed. As a preventive egr should be cleaned every 40k kms or 30k miles. So if not done,do it.
Hey man if you could help me I have no codes or engine lights on but my car sometimes won't start(when I am at home) but I'll hear a noise kinda like a fan/whistling sound so I have to leave the key in idle and wait for the noise to go away(between 1-5 min) and then it'll start up, sometimes it'll start up fine no problem. At times when I'm driving and come to a stop sign it'll jerk as if it's losing power and sometimes turns off but after a couple of key turns it'll turn on like nothing happened. I've checked all the fuses and none of them are blown, my old car had a bad fuel pump but had no symptoms at all until it just died one day and never turned back on after I put gas in it. It worked fine after I changed the fuel pump. Mind u I have the same car again just a newer year(2004 Mercedes SLK 230). Could it be the same problem as my old car except this car is just giving me symptoms unlike the other one?
It sounds like the pump itself to me. The only thing that should sound when switching on the ignition is the intank fuel pump. If you change fuel filter regularly and still its making lound noises, two things can be suspected. one the pump itself is failing nd it need more time to pressurise the lines. It makes loud noise bcs it cannot work on the fuel pumping load. Two, some how air gets in the line when it sits for long. As the delivery line is pressurised, fuel may leak out through the breach but if its return line which is not pressurised fuel may not leak but may have room to get the air in.
Hey I was wondering if someone could help me out I have a 2001 ford mustang when I start it up early in the morning to go to work I have no problems but when driving home after work about halfway home my car starts sputtering and the exhaust and the whole engine starts to shake i also start losing power and I hear misfiring under the hood could this be the fuel filter? A friend told me it could be spark plugs but I’m not sure
Also If im at a complete stop I have to put my car in 2nd gear and rev high in order to accelerate or else it will start sputtering really badly causing the whole car to shake if I don’t give it enough gas I’m sure I will stall
Hi as your friend told, it might be the spark plugs or the ignition coil. ignition system when hot can give up and starts to act normal when cold. can show the opposite too.
Havnt got a chance to do so. But for the same you have to take the filter unit apart ie the replacement part. you can see a small drain hole at the bottom. water is drained that way out.
Hi there, firstly filter is a service part and cheap, so if the filter is too old or have more than 25k miles on l, its better to replace. And if the issue reoccurs, do check for the pump and regulator. Fuel pump usualy when used to give loud humming or whining sound and eventually car refuses to start or need long cranking time. on the other hand with bad filter, usually car starts fine but refuses to rev up, misfire or even stall at highr engine rpms or at huge load where the fuel demand is high.
I have a 2011 Chevy Malibu and everything seems to work fine but sometimes it doesn’t wanna start or it will starts but then shuts off immediately. It doesn’t seem like anything electrical or battery issues because the radio will work and my lights will work. It dont think it’s the starter either because it sounds like it does want to start and it sounds normal. I’ll let it sit for a few minutes tho when it does that or I’ll step on the accelerator and it seems like it helps it turn on. It’s never turned off on me while I was driving tho.
My car starts with no problem but when I put it in drive it won't move when pressing the gas pedal, the rpms rev up, then all of a sudden it catches and the car starts to move and drive a short distance but when I stop it dose it again starts slow and sluggish and rpms high. I heard the belt screech when pressing on the gas going up a hill and the car was sluggish. Then all of a sudden after awhile the car catches and ride fine😳 when I tap the gas pedal it drives like nothing happened. So I just bought a new fuel filter hoping that's the problem. The video did speak on a few things that I can relate to.
It shifts fine, everytime I put it in gear. I feel the car jump nor is the trans leaking or anything. I got a appointment to bring it to a shop to put it on the lift and run some test.
Normaly if the rpm goes high but no power then it's sure there's an issue with clutch system or torque converter or the transmission. Its a good idea to diagnose before fail.
@@dailyhandsdiy First of all I really appreciate you taking the time out to respond to my issues.. I have a 03 Cadillac deville which you can see in my videos. All of my issues where do to me having very low trans fluid 😳 before panicking and being told it might be my trans going out or the torque converter which are fine. I never thought to check the fluid. It was bairly any fluid on the stick and I was able to see it was very low.. I put trans fluid in crossed my fingers put it in drive and It pulled off with no problem. I put it in reverse, I felt the shift and it backed up with no hesitation at all. I took it for a drive and it drove as it did and always have..perfect. I blew it out to 100mph on the freeway. Even as driving through the streets and stopping at the lights, no issues at all,no sluggishness,no high rpms, it drove beautiful. So my issue was low trans fluid which was the cause of what was happening. The Transmission Fluid is very important and plays a major role with a car's performance. "Now" I did notice small drops of fluid on the ground. So apparently it's a leak somewhere which I would rather deal with than dealing with needing a new transmission. I do need to fine where that leak is coming from as well as changing the fuel filter, which I'm well overdue. But anyone that's having these same symptoms may need to check the trans fluid before thinking it may be something major. Which would lead to having to change something major if the small issue isn't taking care of. I just wanted to share that with you to let you know all is well. Thanks for responding, god bless
Hi . When I accelerate my crv really hard my crv would bog then shut off . This morning my car died on the high way after I accelerated to catch speed on the high way . I pulled over waited 4-5 min . Turned back on . Drove 2 minutes down and it died again same way . Waited again another 5 mins started it and exit off the high way . Drove home under 40 mph it was fine . I tried to find out what the issue was and realized when I gas it hard to catch up to speed it will shut off . Anyone know a solution to this problem ? No check engine light . Battery good alternator good starter good .
This could be an air starvation or fuel starvation. As said while pressing the accelerator, motor needs more air and fuel to pull away. Check the air filter n fuel filter,if its too old chnge it. There are other reasons like failing fuel pump, leak in regulator, issues with throttle body, greasy spark plugs. Check the fuel pressure from pump, condition of spark plugs, check throttle body functions.
My 3.7 mustang is shaking after 3k Rpms and flashing the check engine sounds completely different while it happens going to take it back to the mechanic
Could this be the problem with my 07 Chrysler 300 2.7 V6. I changed my spark plugs like a day ago. I figured that was the problem, but as I start to crank It stalls. It turns on after tries, as I press on gas.. please reply back to me... it shakes alittle n rpm level goes up n down..
Could be one the reasons, as a preventive you may change the filter and see, there are other reasons too like, a bad throttle body or its motor, too much junk in map sensor, vaccum leaks or even failing ignition coil in multiple cylinders. Could check one by one. All except coil may not throw a CEL. but its electronics have to go through each of them.
i no nothing about cars but my wifes car starts when it wants. then wont turn over at all then a few attempts later will fire up . only to cut out again at idle would u say this is my fuel filter issue and if so where would i find it on a vauxhall corsa 1.4 2008 cuz stuffed if i no 🤣
Hi there,may be its the filter, replace if its too old, also the air filter too. Fuel filter will be under the car,you can find the lines going from tank to engine. There are other reasons for the same as well,ie too much dirt inside the throttle body or malfunctioning sensors. First step should be the sensors. Check if there's any engine troubles codes from auto diagnostic center.
Try to disconnect the fuel supply pipe from the fuel tank, turn the ignition on and check if the fuel throws out or not. There is a small filter inside the tank too. Its a chance might get clogged too.
For most cars with intank filter, there'll be a opening on the vehicle floor just above the tank. Find the door, open it which will give the top side of tank where the fuel pump unit is pushed inside the tank. Normaly they are fastened with a plastic single piece fastner. Remove the fastner pull up the pump assembly, disconnect the cables, tearup the assembly there you can see the filter,replace it, assemble the pump unit,fit it back. The only thing to consider will be when you tear up the units and forgetting how to assemble back. :D

@@dailyhandsdiy been having an issue with my Silverado 2006 4.3 Stalls while driving at low speeds after driving all day and then stall at idle at red lights Has a hissing sound when u shut it off coming from brake booster but not sure what it can be One mechanic had me change the canister and a evap Solenoid from the engine and the vent valve we didn’t reply will that cause a misfire?? The vent valve we didn’t replace Either way I replaced wat he said and it still misfire and stalled Only code it throws is 0446
@@dailyhandsdiy if u have an advise id appreciate it Driving me crazy this truck Also when it stalls it usually starts right back up Except yesterday took a few cranks
The valve actually sits beside the fuel tank beneath the car. A problem with the valve can cause severe vacuum leak n cause many problems like vehicle lean condition,misfire or late starting. It could be the valve itself or may have a cracked pipe. be sure to check the pipes properly.
It could be the filter there are other reasons too but first, you may change the filter if its too old or had enough miles on it. And see if it changes any thing. Also do check for vacuum leaks or dirty air filter.
Hey man I have a 2014 Mustang Gt and I been having acceleration issues. It hesitates to accelerate when I try to go full throttle. It jerks when I let go of the pedal. I have taken it to mechanic but can’t find the issue because the check engine light is not on. Please help. My car just doesn’t feel the same.
Try cleaning all the intake air sensors, throttle body, check tp sensor, change fuel filter if too old. These are all preventive services which must be done periodically. And see if anything changes
@@dailyhandsdiy thanks for the reply! I changed spark plugs, cleaned tps and throttle body and it’s still doing the same :( any other ideas of what can it be? My car only has 37000 miles
This video is now a year old but just cured my curiosity. Headed to the parts store. Great video.
I am 💯 sure this happened to my SUV. But I wonder why Toyota couldn’t tell ?!! Thank you very much for sharing this.
99% sure this is what happened to my car thank you so much ❤ we non mechanical people appreciate you so much ❤
Made my day 😁😁
Thank you so much bc I’m having these issues right now but I was told that the timing was gone gone and the catalyst converter needed to be replaced $3000 worth of work but everything you just spoke of is exactly what is going on with the car now for about a week
What was causing the issues?
This channel is like heaven sent to me God bless you guys 🙌🏽🙌🏽🤗🤗🏆
So happy to hear from you mate. Made my day.
I had a 2004 Silverado 1500 Z71 and it had a hard starting issue and stalled twice and eventually I lost the truck due to family problems etc.. after the first time I put 7gals of gas in and it still wouldn't make it more than a mile or two I had to leave it in a parking lot for a couple weeks and had to tow it to a family members house. It never started and idled on it's own after that either you could use starting fluid or gas to keep it running till you stopped spraying, it was also about 30⁰F so that didn't help. I changed fuel pump still nothing, checked pressure at the front and it sprayed fuel out but no fuel was getting to throttle body.
These symptoms are EXACTLY what my sled have. I don’t think the fuel filter has been changed ever so really hope its the issue!
Hi there, sure you must change the filter asap.
@@dailyhandsdiy yeah, pretty sure I need to :)
@@dailyhandsdiy Just updating, the fuel in the filter came out black as oil and alot of particles ;D!
Glad its resolved :)
@@Mostromstunt hi there so was that the fuel filter .coz our car give probleme .sometimes is start sometimes not .and stalling when drive what can be the probl
Great video!
I'm going down the list for a hard starting 05 durango. I put a new fuel evap valve and a air temperature sensor. It now starts immediately when cold, but once warm it's still same story. The strange thing is that I time it and it always fires up at 7 seconds and purs.
I'm going to change the fuel filter next but not too sure.
Any other thoughts?
Thanks again!
Do check the evap system as a whole. There may be air leak in the system.Not sure but the evap valve might open up when warm and air may enter like a vacuum leak. also replace fuel filter if too old. Also try disconnecting the new IAT sensor and start. New components may have different calibrations, just to be sure.
My 2004 BMW 325i only got 15 MPG since I bought it 5 years ago.
I cleaned the MASS AIRFLOW SENSOR and I'm getting around 30+ now!!!
(It never threw a fault code for anything. Including Oxygen Sensors.)
Hi there, shouldn't be worried till you get a check engine light.
Thanks this video saved me lots of money I thought I had to get a new motor
Thank you! My SUV is doing this. I’m hoping this is what’s wrong because this seems like a simple, cheap fix.
Hi there, yup its an easy task. Just replace the filter if too old.
Exactly wat I needed to actually thank you
Glad to hear from you mate.
Could the filter still have been clogged if gas was clear? Mine was but when I changed it, day & night difference with power.
I had clogged fuel filter and my car would start and run fine until I got to 25-30 mph then it would die. It had a little tiny fuel filter. I cut the filter open and looked at it under a microscope. It had a simple plastic mesh screen. Every single opening in the screen had a rust particle in it. A week later the same thing happened again. I couldn't make it the last 1/4 mile to the ford dealer to get a new one. I thought I would of had more than a week before the new one clogged up. I solved the problem by putting a inline Fram fuel filter. It was way bigger and had a paper type filter. Years later I took the gas tank out to inspect it and found a bunch of rust in it. Georgia rain and humidity is really rough on anything that can rust.
God thats really weird, fuel acts same like oil to rust, ie antirusting properties. Its really rare to see rust in fuel lines and tank or anywhere it touches or meets, unless the rust is externally introduced.
You had problems with misfiring and engine shaking maybe?
Just this day I experienced stalling for several times, shuddering before it stalls. I thought it was a clogged in the injectors parts or in the injector nozzles but I consulted a mechanic and he said the fuel pump/fuel filter be replaced.
If its a fuel filter then surely it affects the pump....may also get a fuel pressure sensor performance low high code.
Thank you 🤞🏽
This was pretty helpful my car my fuel pump is bad I probably had to replace it I've been watching other videos to make sure it was it it was showing signs when I was driving I heard a big pop sound in my backseat and when I put it in park or reverse and make this crazy loud sound in the backseat
hm its supposed to make some kind of growling or somewhat whinning kinda noises when the pump fails. Some times it makes a weavy kind of sound too.
Fuel filters are almost always cheap and easy to replace.
If you suspect a bad fuel filter, it's probably time to change it anyhow.
Thanks that's exactly what I need it to know
You took the words rite out of my mouth.

I have a fairly new battery and alternator in my car, but the past few days it has taken longer to turn over when starting it after it's been sitting overnight. I also noticed a couple times when the power seemed to dip a little at lower speeds. Is this a clogged fuel filter? If so, will replacing the filter take care of any problems?
The starting issue could be high voltage drain from electronics and might drain the battery over night. Do check the current drain at idle. If the filter is too old do replace it like more than 2 years or more than 40k miles on it. Also the filter if clogged mostly shows its symptoms at high engine speeds or at heavy load where fuel requirements are high. Do check the spark plug if greasy, clean throttle body, check any air restrictions like bad filter, or vacuum leaks.
@@dailyhandsdiy Thanks for the tips. I hadn't even thought about the high voltage drain. Will check that.
Haven’t had any problems starting the car but it has stalled out while at stop lights and loses significant power when going up hills.
hi there,this could be a bad air or fuel filter or related sensors or even dirty throttle body. Clean all the air intake sensors, throttle body and change the filters if too old. All these should be done as preventive periodically.
Plz help. When i turned my gmc terain on after getting gas. It puttered a little. I went to rev on the gas and heald it at 3 rpm and it puttered as i let off it then puttered again. It seems fine while driving but noticble loss of power... a slight rich smell upon starting as well. Any insight would be increable to me
Thanks alott..
Bro can we use heavy duty truck's or mini truck engine oil in diesel cars ?
Sure no problem, it will protect engine longer at the cost of mileage. Oil designed for trucks will be much thicker. So pumping loses will be high. jst thats ol
Thanks A Lot😍👍
Nice video. My cars is having issues when i cold start it, i have to crank the engine 5-6 times to start it. My engine light isnt on so im not very sure if it is my fuel filter.
This happens due to variety of reasons like, leak at fuel lines, fuel pump giving low power output, fuel regulator partially open. these are the reasons from fuel side. from electricl side there are many more. Firstly check the fuel pressure at the start using an external guage.
Very good
Thnks mate
My car starts with no problems but it will ramdomly after stopping not pick up speed after pressing on gas an hard times picking up speed go up hills. Any help on what could be wrong
There are many possible reasons for same, starting with dirty air filter, vacuume leaks, throttle body problems, dirty maf or map sensors, dirty fuel filter or even a bad fuel regulator. Any one can cause the said issue. Have to go through each one, step by step. Mostly the throttle body makes such issues, tps unit malfuction.
Good Video .... strangely this happend to my car after changing to a new fuel filter.......the car makes a strange noise like a resonance when accelerating and at idle the engine vibrates...almost to stop......I never thought s new fuel filter could give me a hard time!
Yup this may happen when the filter in not in oe spec or the filter density or flow characteristics is not close to oe spec. I guess.
Fuel filters are directional, make sure the arrow is facing the right direction.
Hi,
My ford ranger starts just fine however when accelerating, the vehicle is struggling to accelerate especially when going up hill ... the engine ravs or I need to press on the paddle to normalize the speed. I've cleaned the throttle body and sensor however problem still there... pliz advise
it would be good to specify at which points you talk about fuel filter in the gas tank by the fuel pump and fuel filter by the engine. At least my car has it like that.
Its similar for both the cases and types. there's only one fault that can occur which is filter restrictions due to contaminations. It doesn't matter if the filter sits before or after pump or inside or outside the tank. All these construction gives out similar symptoms.
Hey thanks for the video , my BMW e46 320d dosnt start we did change the relays but still doesn't start
There're many reasons for no start....like blown fuses,relays,bad fuel pump, fuel pressure sensor, regulator, ignition control devices. Does the vehicle give any specific ETCs?
Hi my my suv keeps turning off and the steering wheel locks also . It just starting turning off today. But it's been locking through steering wheel for 2 weeks now and i got the fuel thing fix and the sensor idk what else it can be
Could putting a heet bottle cause a clogged filter?
That is exactly what just started happening in my truck today. So I filled the tank put some Fuel drier in and will replace the filter tomorrow. I was noticing less power and less fuel economy so I was already suspicious last week. Maybe I got some bad gasoline.
Has anyone ever had issues when your pumping gas and after a certain point it starts spilling?? I already dropped the tank and checked for any cracks in the hoses,lines, and tank itself but still same issue. Let me know if y’all had this problem before and how to fix it thank you.
What’s weird is my 4.6l mustang idles and starts fine and revs out fine but bogs when accelerating under load, overall it has less power but falls on its face totally when I’m trying to accept see 4k rpm. What do you think? Could it be the filter? Maybe the pump?
Pump or filter may give out similar issues. But if pump fails,can give out wavey whining sounds. When free revving, engine requires less fuel and under load, requires more. Could change the filter first if its too old. Also clean the air intake sensors as preventive.
@@dailyhandsdiy will do, thanks!

My mazda 6 2008 diesel was idle then suddenly the yellow engine light popped up. I felt like the engine was vibrating a lot more. Loss of power when acclerating. It was just fine when i drove it an hour before.
Ill check this, i have rough idle, pulsating power up hills and poor fuel economy...
Fingers crossed
well there are other reasons for the same but if you have really old fuel filter its better to change it and see. Worth a try.

Hey mate, thanks for this video, need your advice, my honda fit/jazz 1.3-cvt is having these symptoms. Works fine on flat surfaces but struggles and slow during up hills. Seems to be losing power. Have to press down to 3-4k rpms to slowly regain speed but consumes more gas. Also, makes a whining sound while driving. It currently has 201kms on the clock. Do you think changing the fuel filter will resolve my problems? Thanks in advance
Hey there, if the filter is too old,could change as preventive but looks like its not the filter, i guess bcs filter gives out most troubles at higher engine rpms. Do clean the intake sensors maf n map first. The whining sound isn't a good sign though, may be the cvt is wearing out. So do clean the sensors first also check the vvt system is working good. Sometimes the vvt solenoid can misbehaving and give out power troubles.
@@dailyhandsdiy thanks for the reply. I have already cleaned the maf sensor but still the same. im also suspecting maybe my fuel pump is failing. Can that cause my issues? Ill check the vvt. Thanks
Do clean map sensor too,its more imp than maf in petrol heads. Also vvt n cvt too. Cvt transmission too can cause the issue. Whining sound could be frm transmission bearings which affects the cvt operation.
@@dailyhandsdiy thanks for advice. Ill try to clean the map sensor and the vvt. I’m hoping its not the cvt transmission. Will feedback. Thanks again
Sure n anytime mate :)
I have a 2000 24 valve cummins, the engine is stock, when I start it, it idles fine and up to around 40 mph it has no problems, but if I go heavy on the gas it blows blueish white smoke and the entire truck vibrates and shakes, I changed the air filter and it got worse, the truck has 350k miles on it and I'm not sure if the fuel filter has ever been changed
Any idea on what the exact issue could be?
A bluish white smoke isn't a good sign, its burning oil for sure. Might be the turbo or head gasket or worse rings.
sounds like the head gasket decided to blow
So helpful video….
Glad to hear from you 😊
My 2008 Pontiac G6 starts fine but putter's and shakes a little while sitting and now it won't go over 40 mph I was thinking of changing the fuel filter but I'm not exactly sure the issue
Hi there, if the fuel filter is too old needs a replacement as a preventive. but here cannot say its filter, a mis aligned or failing throttle body or related position sensor, dirty air intake sensors, ignition system failures etc.. all give similar symptoms. So first replace the filters ie air n fuel if old. Check the spark in spark plugs n clean if greasy, clean the air intake sensors and check the throttle position sensor. Do step by step untill its resolved. Also do you have a check engine light lit up?

my honda starts right up. i start driving and it will be alright for a few 30 seconds then will start to stutter and backfire and wont give gas when i try to accelerate. and in a little uphill it would not give any gas and would stutter alot till it completely slows down and stalls. if it’s a road declining, it would seem to go okay. can anyone help me out please
edit: every stop i come to i have to turn engine off and back on for it to keep going just so i could make it home. becuz if i dont shut it off when i drive it will start to stutter and not give gas.

Once it’s happened while I was coasting before braking to come to a stop. Changed spark plugs, cleaned throttle body, no codes at all…I’ve put fuel treatment/injector cleaner in. It may be idling a little low, but no sputtering or surging or noise from motor? It has a little hesitation when taking off from a stop but maintains speed, no trouble changing gears, no bad gas mileage..Any ideas? Never had a car stall where there wasn’t a check engine light coming on or obvious issues where I could hear/feel it from the engine & im just completely stumped…any help would be greatly appreciated!
Have a check on throttle position sensor and clean air intake sensors. TPS does give out these problems.
I was driving and just stalled out at a stop sign whenever I started the car back up didn't wanna start but now I can't go faster than 40 mph and seems like my car is losing power could that be the fuel filter or is that a transmission issue?
Hi a no start cannot be a transmission issue. Replace the filter if its too old, check the fuel pressure on demand. A fuel regulator which is about to fail used to give such symptoms. Also a failing Throttle position sensor or dirty throttle body too used to give such issues.
If anyone could answer this it would really help. My car has misfire shakes when I go in reverse only. Once I put it in drive it will shake a little bit more but will stop and drive smooth. I had a new engine replaced in and the CEL came on and took it to my mechanic. He said it was a fuel problem so to put in premium gas. He replaced some coils and plugs but it still does the misfire shake in reverse.
Hi there, did the mechanic specify which trouble codes he came across?
@@dailyhandsdiy yes he said it was the 849 (P0351) Ignition coil “a” primary/ secondary circuit sporadic. He said he replaced it and that it should clear up the issue. It didn’t 😅. I’ve been noticing though that my car has a smell of fuel from the exhaust lately… not too sure if it’s the fuel injections themselves or fuel filter. I’m taking my car to go get the filter changed out to see if that fixes the problem but if it doesn’t I’m gonna have to keep cracking down what the problem is.
Fuel smell from exhaust means the engine is running rich or one or more cylinders have got a misfire. Any how, if the filter is too old its a good idea to change it and see.
@@dailyhandsdiy thank you for responding! I’ll let my mechanic know to look into it! Thank you

Hi, do clean the air intake sensors and check throttle body..
Hello, I was driving in the highway and all the sudden my steering wheel was extremely hard to move and when I tried pressing on the gas pedal it wouldn’t accelerate what’s the cause of that. I know my car not accelerating is a result to a change in a fuel filter but what’s the issue of my steering wheel locking? Thank you!
hi there, have you noticed a battery light flashing or came on while the issue happened?
Sounds like you’re serpentine belt
If your car has an electrical power steering pump, steering wheel becomes hard when the engine stops running. But if the car has a steering fluid means it's time to change the fluid.
This what happens to me. And now it's turning off at stops lights. Barely happened today. They just fixed the fuel thing not to long ago so idk what it can be
Thank you
Glad to hear from you mate 😊
Would this also cause the engine light to blink continuously?
May be, there are other reasons too. its better do get the car scanned.
My car starts fine but loses power after an one hour or so. I park to the side, turn it off and on, and it works fine again,? Please help
My car engine is sometimes sputtering when drive at a higher speed and wasn’t accelerate like before. Is this the fuel filter problem 😢
If the filter is more than 30k kms or if any other filter is due....change that all...clean evey air intake sensor and throttle body. These are all preventive services.
Hey I don't know If you still replying to the comments on this but I have recently bought a 97 gtt cladina (turbo auto) it idles rough but under light load it drives fine, until idle or you try put your foot down it starts to have a miss if it's a miss just doesn't want to accelerate and will drop power then pick up power the cough and fart, it's sort of hard to explain I have ordered new coils and spark plugs for it hoping thag may be the issue, but would like to know what else may cause this issue if it continues
Hi there, yes the spark plugs or coils used to give sich hickups n power drops. Similarly do clean the air intake sensors(maf n map)and throttle body. Check the evap system and vacuum leaks. Check the injectors health and change the fuel filter if too old. These are preventive maintenance services which have to be done anyway. And see if the issue reoccurs.
@@dailyhandsdiy Thank you for the reply to do with cleaning the intake sensors I only have air temp sensors and I've been told that going bad wouldn't normally cause a misfire, how ever I can buy a new one just incase
Sure. And also im not quite sure abt the model but if the car has a mechanical rotary ignition distributer, do check and clean them too.
Hi.
I have one e class 2020 and the car have 58 000 km. The consum of diesel is great about 4.5 l for 100 km, but some time the car begin to consum dubbel diesel than normal and if i turn off the engine the ventilation still continue to work for some minutes. This problem last not to much and after that the car be back to normal consumtion. One guy on mercedes service told me that this is a normal proces of autocleaning for diesel or diesel filter from the car but im not sure about that.
Hi there is a process of dpf regeneration where engine is performed at peak working cycle to burn the carbon and the engine may rev high mostly. But can't say it consumes double the fuel.
@@dailyhandsdiy thank you for your response
My car has a long crank but turns on, this only happens when it sits for while but once I turn it on and drive and then turn it off then it’s cranks fine it’s only when it sits for a while and I go to turn it on for the first time in a while! What could this be?
Hi there, Its mostly when there's a air in the fuel line or fuel delivery pump low efficiency at cold starts. Do check the fuel lines for any leaks. Also check the intake air sensors or clean them.
I have a weird red line IN my gas filter for my Yamaha banshee is it normal?

Damaged/poor injector due to debris...
@@goldeneagle99 yeah I fixed it,it was a fuel injector...appreciate it though
So this only happens from a stop like in the video wen I accelerate from stop it goes towards 3k then back down seems like it hesitate Would that be the air filter?
Might be a fuel flow restriction or pressure loss. There is also chance for throttle body.
When I turn my car ignition to - on, I can hear the fuel pump sound but it never stops. If then I turn ignition off and back on 2nd time, I dont hear fuel pump buz anymore. After starting car it dies afyer few secs, if gas pedal is pressed then stays alive few secs more. Could this be bad fuel pump and filter?
Hi there, it sounds like a fuel pump relay or pump itself. Not sure abt the filter but if its too old its a good idea to change it.
Fuel filter is maintence, fuel pump is repair. Catch up on the maintenance first, always. It'll save your cash.
The thing about it is, it's so hard to find
I have a 2006 F150 5.4. Crank No Start. Checked just about everything. Can a bad filter cause a No Start?
Hi there, a completely chocked filter can cause this issue or if there's air in fuel line. Check if the fuel line has proper pressure. There are other reasons like, bad intake sensors or cam or crank sensors, ignition devices. So have to check through each one. Firstly check for proper fuel pressure in line.
@@dailyhandsdiy Hey thanks for the feedback man!. Yeah I've done just about every check including replacing both camshaft positioning sensors to no avail. Now it's just pull the plugs , & with the f150s track record, probably break a few. Yea Fun and then the fuel filter.
Ok thanks again!
Bro in my car there is problem of engine checklight, it comes when we are going above 140 km speed in highway. When i diagnose it,it doesn't shows the problem.Can you help me ?
Brother be sure the scanner is set in correct protocol that the car supports. Or check the previous fault codes. Check engine light at high speed cruising can be off fuel starvation or air starvation as its the time engine needs both at high rates. A bad air or fuel filter can cause this when under high engine demand. Its can be of other things like oil overheating n all so need to get the fault codes ecm picked up.
Tq bro
Any time bro. :)

Dont know if you or anyone one can helop but i have a 2004 nissan pathfinder its suppsoed to get decent fuel mileage but ive been getting 12mpg almost just like 200 miles till 18-19gal fill up. I replaced all spark plugs and ignition coils did an oil change with an oem nissan filter the fuel filter was changed recent and I have tried to to seafoam top end cleaners and fuel additives just recent I tried Bg 44k Platinum. Idk if the new filter is clogged since the car doesn't shake or have lights and has amazing pickup speed. It does have a slight rough idle definitely not new car smooth but i do not know what it could be. Cleaned mass airflow and the air filter is already good. Only things I can think of is a bad pcv valve, bad fuel filter, or lazy O2 sensor but I would have to check with a mechanic on that.
Rough idle has been around since old spark plugs and is the same feel not any smoother.
Seems like a bad oxygen sensor. Its major thing that cause mileage troubles in petrol heads.
@@dailyhandsdiy probably will take it to my mechanic and have him check it out.
Sure

So idles just fine, stalls at acceleration. I changed the fuel pump, and cleaned the throttle body, which was filthy. Any ideas? Could it be throttle position sensor? Fuel filter? Something else?
Major reasons are, severe intake vacuum leak, clogged fuel filter. Also a simple air filter too can cause this. If tps is bad the car should reflect even at park. Anyway itsa piece of electronics.
@@dailyhandsdiy thanks for the advice. Not air filter, that’s been changed recently. I’ll check fuel filter and vacuum leaks.
sure :)
@@dailyhandsdiy turns out it was the throttle body or throttle position I sensor. I just put in a new throttle body it’s it’s running good. Thanks for your advice though!
Glad its fixed...It should be the butterfly valve. It makes the same effect of a clogged air filter ie air restriction. It should be an electrically actuated valve i guess.
My Nissan 4 banger runs fine untill It gets to 60 mph, then start to shudder like it choking out. Any thoughts? Thanks
This could be anything from air or fuel starvations or even a vacuum leak. Change the air filter n fuel filter if its too old. Clean all the air intake sensors too. If these basics doesn't change anything, should go deeper checks. Any lights on dash?
@@dailyhandsdiy no, the computer has been disconnected so when you hook up a hand held it won't connect. Air filter is new, I will change the fuel filter. Could this be an EGR valve problem? Thanks
If its an egr issue you might see unexpected huge black smoke when the problem occurs if its diesel head.but not on any particular speed. As a preventive egr should be cleaned every 40k kms or 30k miles. So if not done,do it.
I have a new EGR valve for it. Thanks for the help. Happy holidays to you!
Any time mate...happy holidays to you too..
Can this cause maf codes and iac codes?
Fuel filter usually don't cause those codes.....it should be the sensors if self...they get dirty with time and needs a clean up...
Hey man if you could help me I have no codes or engine lights on but my car sometimes won't start(when I am at home) but I'll hear a noise kinda like a fan/whistling sound so I have to leave the key in idle and wait for the noise to go away(between 1-5 min) and then it'll start up, sometimes it'll start up fine no problem. At times when I'm driving and come to a stop sign it'll jerk as if it's losing power and sometimes turns off but after a couple of key turns it'll turn on like nothing happened. I've checked all the fuses and none of them are blown, my old car had a bad fuel pump but had no symptoms at all until it just died one day and never turned back on after I put gas in it. It worked fine after I changed the fuel pump. Mind u I have the same car again just a newer year(2004 Mercedes SLK 230). Could it be the same problem as my old car except this car is just giving me symptoms unlike the other one?
It sounds like the pump itself to me. The only thing that should sound when switching on the ignition is the intank fuel pump. If you change fuel filter regularly and still its making lound noises, two things can be suspected. one the pump itself is failing nd it need more time to pressurise the lines. It makes loud noise bcs it cannot work on the fuel pumping load. Two, some how air gets in the line when it sits for long. As the delivery line is pressurised, fuel may leak out through the breach but if its return line which is not pressurised fuel may not leak but may have room to get the air in.
@@dailyhandsdiy thnx man. 👍
Any time mate
Hey I was wondering if someone could help me out I have a 2001 ford mustang when I start it up early in the morning to go to work I have no problems but when driving home after work about halfway home my car starts sputtering and the exhaust and the whole engine starts to shake i also start losing power and I hear misfiring under the hood could this be the fuel filter? A friend told me it could be spark plugs but I’m not sure
Also If im at a complete stop I have to put my car in 2nd gear and rev high in order to accelerate or else it will start sputtering really badly causing the whole car to shake if I don’t give it enough gas I’m sure I will stall
Can anyone help there’s no codes or check engine light popping up either
Hi as your friend told, it might be the spark plugs or the ignition coil. ignition system when hot can give up and starts to act normal when cold. can show the opposite too.
Bro can you make a video on how to drain water from fuel filter in ford 1.5 tdci engine?
Havnt got a chance to do so. But for the same you have to take the filter unit apart ie the replacement part. you can see a small drain hole at the bottom. water is drained that way out.
How can I determine if it’s the fuel pump or a fuel filter that needs to be changed?
Hi there, firstly filter is a service part and cheap, so if the filter is too old or have more than 25k miles on l, its better to replace. And if the issue reoccurs, do check for the pump and regulator. Fuel pump usualy when used to give loud humming or whining sound and eventually car refuses to start or need long cranking time. on the other hand with bad filter, usually car starts fine but refuses to rev up, misfire or even stall at highr engine rpms or at huge load where the fuel demand is high.
I have a 2011 Chevy Malibu and everything seems to work fine but sometimes it doesn’t wanna start or it will starts but then shuts off immediately. It doesn’t seem like anything electrical or battery issues because the radio will work and my lights will work. It dont think it’s the starter either because it sounds like it does want to start and it sounds normal. I’ll let it sit for a few minutes tho when it does that or I’ll step on the accelerator and it seems like it helps it turn on. It’s never turned off on me while I was driving tho.
hey there, try cleaning the intake air sensors and throttle body. Change the air filter if too dirty.
@@dailyhandsdiy ok thank you !!
My car starts with no problem but when I put it in drive it won't move when pressing the gas pedal, the rpms rev up, then all of a sudden it catches and the car starts to move and drive a short distance but when I stop it dose it again starts slow and sluggish and rpms high. I heard the belt screech when pressing on the gas going up a hill and the car was sluggish. Then all of a sudden after awhile the car catches and ride fine😳 when I tap the gas pedal it drives like nothing happened. So I just bought a new fuel filter hoping that's the problem. The video did speak on a few things that I can relate to.
Hi these this feels like the transmission is in trouble or the torque converter.
It shifts fine, everytime I put it in gear. I feel the car jump nor is the trans leaking or anything. I got a appointment to bring it to a shop to put it on the lift and run some test.
Normaly if the rpm goes high but no power then it's sure there's an issue with clutch system or torque converter or the transmission. Its a good idea to diagnose before fail.
@@dailyhandsdiy First of all I really appreciate you taking the time out to respond to my issues.. I have a 03 Cadillac deville which you can see in my videos. All of my issues where do to me having very low trans fluid 😳 before panicking and being told it might be my trans going out or the torque converter which are fine. I never thought to check the fluid. It was bairly any fluid on the stick and I was able to see it was very low.. I put trans fluid in crossed my fingers put it in drive and It pulled off with no problem. I put it in reverse, I felt the shift and it backed up with no hesitation at all. I took it for a drive and it drove as it did and always have..perfect. I blew it out to 100mph on the freeway. Even as driving through the streets and stopping at the lights, no issues at all,no sluggishness,no high rpms, it drove beautiful. So my issue was low trans fluid which was the cause of what was happening. The Transmission Fluid is very important and plays a major role with a car's performance. "Now" I did notice small drops of fluid on the ground. So apparently it's a leak somewhere which I would rather deal with than dealing with needing a new transmission. I do need to fine where that leak is coming from as well as changing the fuel filter, which I'm well overdue. But anyone that's having these same symptoms may need to check the trans fluid before thinking it may be something major. Which would lead to having to change something major if the small issue isn't taking care of. I just wanted to share that with you to let you know all is well. Thanks for responding, god bless
Glad its been noticed and hope it be fixed soon.
Hi . When I accelerate my crv really hard my crv would bog then shut off .
This morning my car died on the high way after I accelerated to catch speed on the high way . I pulled over waited 4-5 min . Turned back on . Drove 2 minutes down and it died again same way . Waited again another 5 mins started it and exit off the high way . Drove home under 40 mph it was fine . I tried to find out what the issue was and realized when I gas it hard to catch up to speed it will shut off . Anyone know a solution to this problem ? No check engine light . Battery good alternator good starter good .
This could be an air starvation or fuel starvation. As said while pressing the accelerator, motor needs more air and fuel to pull away. Check the air filter n fuel filter,if its too old chnge it. There are other reasons like failing fuel pump, leak in regulator, issues with throttle body, greasy spark plugs. Check the fuel pressure from pump, condition of spark plugs, check throttle body functions.
Found the issue ?
How often should one change fuel filter for a diesel car
?
Anywhere between 25k to 35k kms. Some can go more...need to check owners manual for the correct time.
@@dailyhandsdiy owners manual says 46k miles or 3 years seems abit much hmm…
yes some make has more quality filters which can go upto 50k miles....but precaution is best and to change it at 35k miles
Would this cause misfires?
Sometimes, common at higher rpms than lower or idling.
My 3.7 mustang is shaking after 3k Rpms and flashing the check engine sounds completely different while it happens going to take it back to the mechanic
yup its a good idea to get it scanned and do proper diagnosis.
@@dailyhandsdiy it was a 2 failing coils
Could this be the problem with my 07 Chrysler 300 2.7 V6. I changed my spark plugs like a day ago. I figured that was the problem, but as I start to crank It stalls. It turns on after tries, as I press on gas.. please reply back to me... it shakes alittle n rpm level goes up n down..
Could be one the reasons, as a preventive you may change the filter and see, there are other reasons too like, a bad throttle body or its motor, too much junk in map sensor, vaccum leaks or even failing ignition coil in multiple cylinders. Could check one by one. All except coil may not throw a CEL. but its electronics have to go through each of them.
@@dailyhandsdiy p1071 and p1074 code show... So vacuum leak somewhere.
Yup got vaccum leak somewhere...
i no nothing about cars but my wifes car starts when it wants. then wont turn over at all then a few attempts later will fire up . only to cut out again at idle would u say this is my fuel filter issue and if so where would i find it on a vauxhall corsa 1.4 2008 cuz stuffed if i no 🤣
Hi there,may be its the filter, replace if its too old, also the air filter too. Fuel filter will be under the car,you can find the lines going from tank to engine. There are other reasons for the same as well,ie too much dirt inside the throttle body or malfunctioning sensors. First step should be the sensors. Check if there's any engine troubles codes from auto diagnostic center.
@@dailyhandsdiy ok thnk u im having the crankshaft replaced as its showing a fault hopefully will get the results
ha its also one of the reasons for the said fault.
My 2004 Golf check engine light never came on.
May be the light is busted.
@@dailyhandsdiy The light is fine because it come on when I start the engine.
Mine does this plys sounds like wants to turn off
It could be a misfire or multiple misfires, air related or fuel related. Pls do the diagnosis properly abt the fault.
🎉
Definitely my problem after putting bad gas in my fn car
Could a bad fuel pump cause the car to shut off after starting it
Nop, this can cause long starting issue as primary symptom.
@@dailyhandsdiy my car starts and shuts off in seconds. I hear the fuel pump working but check the valve on the fuel rail and no fuel at all 🤷🏽♂️
Try to disconnect the fuel supply pipe from the fuel tank, turn the ignition on and check if the fuel throws out or not. There is a small filter inside the tank too. Its a chance might get clogged too.
@@dailyhandsdiy will do thanks 🙏
Alwys welcome brother
Does anyone know how to change a fuel filter in a gas tank
For most cars with intank filter, there'll be a opening on the vehicle floor just above the tank. Find the door, open it which will give the top side of tank where the fuel pump unit is pushed inside the tank. Normaly they are fastened with a plastic single piece fastner. Remove the fastner pull up the pump assembly, disconnect the cables, tearup the assembly there you can see the filter,replace it, assemble the pump unit,fit it back. The only thing to consider will be when you tear up the units and forgetting how to assemble back. :D
Thank you for a quick response
Any time mate.. 😊
Mine stalls, so I'm going to change both Diesel filters

Hi saleem did you fix the problem what was the problem.there ..our car stall also just want to knw

Will a bad fuel filter cause a code p0446
Not really, this code is stored when the evap system goes wrong. Evap Solenoid is not able to close or open when needed.
@@dailyhandsdiy is the evap solenoid in the front back of the car?
@@dailyhandsdiy been having an issue with my Silverado 2006 4.3
Stalls while driving at low speeds after driving all day and then stall at idle at red lights
Has a hissing sound when u shut it off coming from brake booster but not sure what it can be
One mechanic had me change the canister and a evap
Solenoid from the engine and the vent valve we didn’t reply will that cause a misfire??
The vent valve we didn’t replace
Either way I replaced wat he said and it still misfire and stalled
Only code it throws is 0446
@@dailyhandsdiy if u have an advise id appreciate it
Driving me crazy this truck
Also when it stalls it usually starts right back up
Except yesterday took a few cranks
The valve actually sits beside the fuel tank beneath the car. A problem with the valve can cause severe vacuum leak n cause many problems like vehicle lean condition,misfire or late starting. It could be the valve itself or may have a cracked pipe. be sure to check the pipes properly.
Wow
My truck just shut off it crank for a minute the shut back off I am thinking the filter 2010 Dodge Ram
It could be the filter there are other reasons too but first, you may change the filter if its too old or had enough miles on it. And see if it changes any thing. Also do check for vacuum leaks or dirty air filter.
Is filter located in the tank
One should be under the hood and another just beside the fuel tank.
My car won't start everytime I get gas - I have to step & hold on to the accelerator. Just to get it running
If this happens only when refilling gas, Evap system n idle control system should be inspected.
@@dailyhandsdiy usually I thought it be a purge valve
Oo no valves are perfect in engineering ;]
@@dailyhandsdiy I meant purge valve - pardon me on that
My car is eating gas, no engine light, idles well, deives well except on certain turns and certain hills. Im guessing fuel fikter based off this
Hey man I have a 2014 Mustang Gt and I been having acceleration issues. It hesitates to accelerate when I try to go full throttle. It jerks when I let go of the pedal. I have taken it to mechanic but can’t find the issue because the check engine light is not on. Please help. My car just doesn’t feel the same.
Try cleaning all the intake air sensors, throttle body, check tp sensor, change fuel filter if too old. These are all preventive services which must be done periodically. And see if anything changes
@@dailyhandsdiy thanks for the reply! I changed spark plugs, cleaned tps and throttle body and it’s still doing the same :( any other ideas of what can it be? My car only has 37000 miles
