I knew it was the mass air flow sensor
Thx Scotty! This may have helped me, my car needs a new starter soon and idles rough but never stalls... Would that be the mass airflow sensor or the O2 sensor?
Scotty great video as usual. Here is the thing. I have similar problem with my ‘02 Mitsubishi Montero 3,5 v6. I have replaced several sensors and changed almos all lines of vacuum and still have some troubles at low speed in load conditions. I have a lot of suspects on the MAF sensor so I got a can of CRC MAF cleaner but the can says it is not good for Karman Vortex MAF Sensor as used on Lexus and some Mitsubishi’s. According to the design it looks like mine is a KV MAF so I’m hesitating about use the product or not. I searched for any specific for KV sensors but it looks like there is nothing specific for them. What you think?? Thanks in advance!! Keep up the good job!!!
Lol @Common sense
@@ethanvink1710 did you plug a scanner in? Spark plugs or faulty coil. Always clean the mass air flow sensor.
👉🏼Hey Scotty....Can you let me know when your next door neighbor's house is up for sale?
Lmao
Ikr lol
I wish Scotty was my mechanic 🥲
Hahaha
😂😂😂I hear that🙏🙌
Scotty, if all car mechanics were as honest as you are, there would be world peace !
At least there would be 80% lower cost of cars maintenance.
Unfortunately there is no such thing as a honest one in the real world.
Scotty has taught me everything I know about vehicles. I appreciate him.
i wonder if any one caught the fact he broke the clip on that maf sensor... then jump cut it out....
Hes thought me everything I know too.(about cars) lol
Same here buddy
what happens if i disconnect maf sensor
This guy has taught me everything about cars !! Thank you!!! This guy need his own shop, we need more mechanics like him!!
his own schools real learning schools will be nice ...
Scotty you’re like the crazy smart mechanic uncle I never had! Thanks for sharing your decades of knowledge and wisdom with us dummies. I learn so much from your videos.
I’d buy a vhs collection of all Scotty’s videos
You are my favorite go-to for vehicle information. Thank you for bestowing knowledge upon the general public of do-it-yourselfers. You're the best Scotty!
Scotty you’re a living legend. Love your passion, it’s contagious.
You are a real person Scotty.
You're a master of your trade and seems you still have passion for what you do. You genuinely help people out of the kindness of your heart and you're not a mindless automaton. I wish there were more people like you Scotty, the world would be a better place.
Keep on keeping on!
P codes are a doddle,my dog could fix them ,put him on something like a 2 year old car with c and u codes,his head would melt.
the new cars ...are a rip off in gnal to start the deceptions not even their own can't fix it ...like Chrysler their own mechanics have admitted it ...
@@dicktaylor2600 Not what he does. Would be like telling you "Put him in a space shuttle fix and he would be lost"
He's made $24 million off this CZcams channel!!
I absolutely love this mechanic. This man understands how a car ticks just by common sense. Use to employee a man like Scotty until he moved out of state. Sure miss JW. I sure LEARNED a lot from that man but still couldn't hold a candle to his wealth of knowledge. I'm 61, been a used car dealer for 35 years and still love a mechanical challenge.
Does a 2012 corolla have ten year coolant in it
@@jameslee7881 says who?hahaha 😂
He is the man
Scotty, You are a National Treasure. Merry Christmas!
Scotty thank you for all the great videos ! You have pulled me out of so many binds and saved me a ton of money and make me laugh all the time !
When you combine technology with experience, something magic happens!
its good having Scotty around
Love your work and passion mr Scotty. Thanks for always looking out for regular people.
Yeah Scotty is amazing
Scotty you are a honest mechanic as others can rip you off and will change lot of parts for this problem
Love this guy his whole attitude is professional awesome
Tim Brown I’m with you Tim. Looking out for the regular guys.

I had problem with this air sensor in my old Skoda. After I cleaned it with air compresor, problem has gone, but I also want to say, that if you will have a problem with this sensor during driving (no power in engine), you can just unplug it. Car should jump to diffrent driving mode. It may takes little more fuel, but you will have normal engine power.
This guy is a blessing to all non automotive savvy car owners...God bless you Sir...
"Let's put this stupid beauty cover back on" lol
You're the man Scotty!
😂
I call that cover the engine girdle
This is how I got my 07 Accord through emissions last month. Scotty saved me $$$
My type of no nonsense mechanic! Love you Scotty!
Learned something new today ! Love the videos !
I bet there are quite a few mechanincs that would charge for the traction controll fix as well.
Charge and not do any work
or replace something else that didnt need the work done. happened to me once, i asked to see the old item "oh he threw it away already".
Ha,ha..He didn’t fixed any.He just take out the mass air flow sensor and clean it.Waited about half an hour and putting it back.Than every went back to normal after he road tested it at 60 miles an hour driving testing.
Chi Chu Scotty successfully identified the problem, its source, and addressed it. By definition he fixed what was wrong with the car.
@@imasoccergenius There's a language barrier ole Chi Chu hasn't gotten over yet, but he managed to get over the border!
Scotty, you are the best! Your advice has saved me literally thousands of dollars over the 6 years I have owned my used 1999 Chevy prism, it will be hitting 200k miles this year! Thanks a lot! I have a request: could you compile a list/video of DIY car maintenance that is ordered based on importance for vehicle longevity? Also the list/video could include how often each maintenance item should be done? Thanks again!
Great idea I would like that as well
I have watched several of your videos on various issues with cars. I used to own an old (2001) Hyundai Sonata....I know, but it's what I could afford at the time! But with your help I kept it running & was able to sell it! I have to say Thank You Scotty Kilmer. You saved me thousands of dollars by sharing your knowledge. I live close to Houston, so don't be alarmed if I ever show up at your shop & ask to shake your hand. You are a true mechanic of the people. You shall always have my respect & gratitude. Keep on doing what you do....we commoners need people like you.
I wanna see Scotty team up for a guest build with the kids doing auction rebuilds. In his format... that would be gold!
I'm so glad I found your channel! You give honest advice that we need. Thank you Scotty.
now, if i could only find a mechanic that will fix it honestly like Scotty did, instead of charging me $1800 for all the stuff that wasn't wrong with it.
@Barney and also finding a competent mechanic like Scotty as well.
Because a lot of people in the industry who call themselves “mechanics”, are actually just glorified parts changer. They’ll just change a part instead of actually troubleshooting it.
When I realized I wasn't able to afford a mechanic I started picking up some of those mechanic books at auto zone back then they were reasonable $3-6 now they're $30 or more
@@headers12 I've found the best way is to find someone who is certified but working either in a small shop or alone. The chain shops are the ones I've had the most problems trying to scam me
Buy your own scan tool, research the codes online and fix it yourself
Barney is scary to think that most mechanics will rip you off like that
My mechanic Dad that I never had.
Thanks Scotty for everything.
Gosh I wish I had u in my 20's when seriously wanted to study mechanics ....and I thought...these mechanics don't know nothing now I found u and it makes all perfect sense to me...👍☺ finally pure knowledge!
My Yaris was also hesitating, first thing I did was to clean the MAF sensor and voila! No more hesitation.
My 1 litre Yaris is going strong touch wood :)
Did you had the check engine light on when it was hesitating?
I got to try that on my little 2004 Echo.
nope@@edsanchez9198
If the MAF was dirty you may wanna clean the throttle body. At least the throttle plate. More junk on plate = less air flow = improper ratio causing issues.
And this is why Scotty has 2.1M subs! I love learning your thought process too, thanks man!
Wanna adopt a 41 year old man, Scotty?
Excellent video, good informative content is hard to find and everything you have is great help. Thanks Scotty!! You’re the best!!
Congratulations on 2M subs, best to you in the future scotty!
The MAS Sensor in a lot of European made 4 cyl cars can also effect the auto transmission causing it to not shift down when accelerating or starting off. As a result, lots of these cars end up at the Wrecking Yards as owners think the transmission is worn out.
A clean MAS also makes a big difference in Toyota V6 & 4 cyl engines.
Great instructional video Scotty, this should help a lot of people. Thank you. 👍🇦🇺.
It's not Mas sensor it's maf sensor
The MAF sensor spray is exactly the same as brake cleaner and besides a MAF sensor is only made up of one schottky diode and one zener diode. So you'll be okay using brake cleaner.
P.s; you're better off just replacing your diodes as they cost 0.002 of a cent each, plus they just push in ( no soldering needed).
You can download the data sheet for your MAF sensor to find out what the correct impedance levels and ESR your MAF sensor requires.
Honestly it's not as hard as it sounds and is very rewarding when you save a lot of pennies.
Seems to me that even though it's an annoyance to disable the other systems, it could be a good idea, as it helps protect those systems from damage if the underlying issue isn't resolved quickly.
Your customers are Bless to have you😁. Great work man😎👌🏿
I had cylinder misfires the same month I had to get the emissions test. Went to the mechanic and he wanted to do an $800 tune up! I didn't think I wanted to keep the car, but took a gamble and added some fuel injector cleaner to a tank of gas and cleared the check engine light. Drove it gently for a couple days to work the fluid through and then drove normally. NO MISFIRES, no codes, passed emissions. That was almost 2 years ago...kept the car :)
Aye man Nice stuff! I bet it felt good too!
use seafoam, nothing works better
I always run one through when I get a car. Then every oil change as a tune up. My favorite is gumout or Chevron techron
Cool. which injector cleaner brand was it? I heard Lucas is good.
Remember to record your freeze frame data before clearing the codes. You might erase valuable troubleshooting data!
Watched this guy when I was 19, helped me fix my 99TL and opened a world that I fell in love with.
Love these videos , just the facts ,no filler, all killer keep it up Scotty
We were given a price of $500 for a similar fix on a Lincoln towncar 1998. DIY will pay for the reader! Thx!
It's crazy how much they charge. I have a diesel with 2 small fuel filters underneath my truck... Dealer wants like 140.00 for the filters, 300.00 for changing them. I bought the filters online for 1/3 and changed them myself for free.
Yea the dealership wanted 500 for replacement of the maf so i did it myself in minutes i was like how is this 500 bucks of labor lmao
I have a 1990 Buick LeSabre Limited with OBD-I and learned the transmission system cooks the fluid! My half brother got me this and a 2002 Explorer.. A nasty storm contributed to wrecking the Explorer, as I want to time travel to stop myself from driving home and power napping! The Buick ran great, till I put Seafoam in the tank, then the transmission fluid was foaming!
Dealers screw us anyways and I don’t trust them. I need to find a used 3.3 liter inline 6 for a vintage 1982 Ford Granada or a used 3.8 liter V6, or used 302 v8.

Thanks Scotty. It was ready helpful. Cheers
I watch this guys videos and these things aren't even wrong with my car, I love his attitude and know how so much! He explains everything in a way I can understand and enjoy!!

Thank you for your great idea!! It will help many drivers and car owner to maintain their car in a cheapest and effective way.
I need to find a mechanic as honest, thorough and knowledgeable as you in Sydney.
One of your best videos! I’ve always cleaned MAFs as part of routine maintenance on all of my vehicles!
I discovered this cleaner before finding your video. I can confirm it made a HUGE difference in our 1992 Pathfinder; cleaning the MAF even resolved the dreaded "Nissan engine surge".
I find when pulling a clip off, if I push the plug into the sensor or housing, then press the button, I then pull the plug out. Reason, is that it releases tension between the two fittings, allowing it to be removed much easier.
This is something I've been missing lately. Amazing job Scotty! Thank you for this video.
Me too. Sadly videos like these are rare nowadays
Your knowledge of cars is amazing Scotty!
You are an encyclopedia of experience. I love your videos. Certainly worth watching.
Where to go Scotty your big help to all us backyard mechanics
Great video Scotty. I have about 20 cars in our work fleet that I oversee, and I appreciate these little tips so I can do what I can and only send them to the garage when I have to. (the contractor we use is a great man though, just he has so much he's doing already when I can do it myself I always try. ) Helps me save the big stuff for him and I can tackle more if the small stuff 👍
He takes care of the big stuff and you the little stuff, huh? Hahaha
Scotty you always come in clutch. I think you just helped me with my mom’s GX 460!
Scotty sir you are the best I’ve learned so much watching your videos , thank you!
This guy is so awesome I love his attitude he just loves doing what he does and he's good at it he should come out with his own TV show
Scotty what a great service you do for all of us DIYers, thank you!
Yes...
I was always intimidated by ANYTHING mechanical. Since I found Scotty and others on CZcams, I've become a fearless DIY'ER. Having said that, however, I recognize my limitations.
nah, there are no limitations, gearbox rebuild? easy, enginge rebuild? easy peasy, just like changing oil and filter@@davidweum
I hope a simple THANK YOU will do Mr Scotty!!!
i wish there were more scotty’s because of him we know cars better how they work ,,,,thank you scotty.. salut..Kurdish boy living in the Netherlands.👍👍👍😎😎
Scotty you are a TREMENDOUS help. I sincerely thank you for all you do
Congratulations 🔝🔝
Love these new videos of you doing actual work on random, real-world problems. As an example, you've previously told us about the MAF cleaner in one of your older videos, but now we see you actually using the stuff. It's little things like this that help the new people to mechanics.
Anyone in GA know a mechanic like Scotty? Jeez his work is amazing

I love Scotty’s videos, the absolute best! 🙌🏼
Thanks for all your help and I love that you don't curse while on video. Simple enough but that makes all the difference for me.
I really loved this video, Scotty! You showed us exactly what to do! You’re a fantastic teacher!!!! Thank you from the entire world!!!!
Good mechanics remind me of good chefs because they are both kind of nutty, and you are no exception. I am subscribing.
Hey Scotty great video as usual!!! Thank you for helping us all save some money, and making sure we don’t get scammed.
I love when things just have non descript "Warning" lights. Always makes me chuckle. It's even better when the manual has broken English and just gives an explanation for the code with something like "Problem with mechanical operation". 😂
You gotta just laugh so it doesn't drive you insane.
Scotty, I thoroughly enjoy your videos. You've kept your humor and your joy, and that's hard to do when it comes to fixing things for so long, especially when they're poorly engineered to begin with. 🤭
This guy is so cool man...Great mechanic, Great videos.
I really enjoy this type of video Mr Kilmer. Very informative, I might go and clean my MAF sensor as preventative maintenance.
Well done Scotty, we need you here in Australia.
Cheers👍🏻

Thanks for sharing your knowledge Scotty . I always watch all you videos 😎
Fixed my daughter's F150 by doing that same thing. It was stalling out every time she stopped. All I did was clean the MAF sensor. Fixed. Thanks, Scotty, again.
fideau one thanks for info. My wife’s cobalt chevy does same exact thing at 60k miles I’m about to clean MAF sensor👍🏻
Love your channel. Just found it today and you already saved me time, trouble, and money. I subscribed.
You sir are truly a Gentleman and a Scholar!
Been awhile since I watched in a video...the amount of views you have now is insane. Congratulations for real
Scotty being truth and honest ever
You can't get any more Honest. Great Service. its sad how many are not Honest.
Most useful and entertaining channel by far! Scotty is a world treasure!
Scotty is awesome! King of the mechanics!
BMW dealership service would charge $100 for a "pre-diagnosis" then charge over $350 to spray the MAF clean. From what you did, this should cost me about $10 to do it myself, actually. It also helps NOT to use those oily K&N filters that will get gunk on your MAF sensors. Live and learn! You're awesome, Scotty! Thanks!
Thank god for New Mexico - no inspections. I hated that scam in Texas.
Scotty you are definitely a chingon, thank you for everything.
Hey Scotty! Thanks for explaining about how to look at the speed of the car when the code occurred! This is the type thing I wish I knew more about, I mean, I have OBD-II software that gives SO much data, it's a program you had in a video once, the Ottotest software, and it's incredibly detailed, and it drives me crazy because I wish I knew more of the significance of the various things, and what things to look at. I wish there was a manual or something that expanded on those type things. Do you know of anything like that? Thanks! Longtime subscriber
You would be amazed just how much of a problem a mass air flow sensor can cause, thanks for the tip scotty keep being honest because your stocks on respect will rise steadily!!😎👍
There is nothing like experience. Thank you Scotty.
Wow!!! Mr Scotty, each of your videos I watch, it makes me to even watch more because they are educative and entertaining.
It is amazing how much knowledge it takes to fix these cars correctly. It really requires a lot of intelligence and experience and the skill of a detective.
Yeah and people want to whine when we give them the bill because you know all you have to do is you tube it and do it yourself for free....lol......good luck with that and then they find out oh it's not so easy.
@@kkmart43 mechanics generally charge way too much for repair especially if you take it into a shop(b/c of overhead costs) / I don't mind paying a reasonable rate which I usually get through mobile mechanics

Always helpful, thank you 😊
Hi, great video, I just subscribed and i'll start checking out your others. I have a question, a new mass air flow sensor for the van I just bought is only like $45. Do they gradually go bad or just all at once? I'm just wondering since it has 200k if it's worth just replacing instead of just cleaning to prevent any future innefficiencies from occurring
This is the only place where the bs.... is not allowed....thanks 👏👏👏👏👏😍
Scottys dumb and likes to drive peice of shits. Old man needs to retire.
I have learned so much just watching a few of Scotty's videos. Good stuff!
WOW...WOW....WOW..thank you Scott!! this will save me a whole lot.
I remember 2 things cause my emissions come to come up: MAF sensor and engine temp sensor. these parts are very crucial I realized. it will make you thing u need a catalytic converter replacement
