A clean tool box is a sign of a messy mind afraid of the real world and creating a fantasy land. A messy tool box is a sign of a master who just knows where things are and goes with the flow.

    The electric impact wrench from harbor freight is 49.99 new, although there is always a 20% coupon so you can really get it for 39.99 new. It has served me well over the past two years. it is heavier than an airpowered impact wrench, but it gets the job done. On some jobs you really need to use it, on most jobs its worth the investment to have it. it takes so much work out of things

    DESCRIPTION The Camshaft Position (CMP) sensor is located within the distributor. The operation of the CMP sensor is very similar to the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor. The CMP sensor will provide one pulse per camshaft revolution (1x signal). This signal will not affect the driveability of the vehicle. The VCM utilizes this signal in conjunction with the crankshaft position in order to determine which cylinder(s) are misfiring. © 2015 ALLDATA LLC. All rights reserved. Terms and Conditio

    If anyone is going to use the cheap car jack pumps, make sure your putting jack stands before you go under the car, they are very unstable the more times you use them. I would have been killed if I was under my car when it popped out of place. Also, if you have a strong power driver/drill you can usually rig it to the car jack that comes with the vehicle & raise/lower the car with the push of a button. I just twist the bit changer to its widest point, put the flat end of my car jack bar in it, tighten it good & away it goes, in about 10 seconds jack is fully extended & 10 seconds to collapse it. Lastly, I cant speak for all autozone's but the one I use will let you use their OBD scanner if one of your warning lights pop on & if they are familiar with the error, they will explain to you what it means & how to fix it. So if you know you are not going to use one on a regular basis, check out your local autozone stores & see if they will let you use theirs for free & save your money.

I've tried apps on Android, iOS, Windows and OS X and they all give conflicting information. They're great for live data readings, but they seem pretty useless for getting error codes or diagnosing issues that can't be found from live data readings.

    Scotty, I got to say that I don't know anything at all about fixing cars or doing car maint. The only thing that I can do is check oil and other fluids. I just want to say that I really enjoy watching you're videos. After spending all of my money to mechanics that didn't even fix it, I've decided that in this time of my life, I need to learn to work on cars. There just is no other option. Anyway, thanks for making great videos. They make me feel comfortable, and I understand them.

    I once got the idea to use a 4 foot cheater bar on a car that I couldn't fix. It cost me a windshield, a side view mirror, two headlights and a hood. I don't think I was using it correctly though. Shoulda used it the way Scotty did. Dammit.

    hey scotty, you really should endorse those bluetooth OBD2 port readers. you can get them for $15 on ebay and they interface with basically any modern smartphone. get the app called Torque for android, and it has a full scan tool suite built right in! so you get a really good scan tool for only the cost of the bluetooth scanner, since you already have your phone!

    oh heh, didnt watch long enough to see you mention them. ive personally never heard of them damaging cars and i dont even know how that's possible. they have no onboard power source to do any damage. were people using them for coding or something? in fact, i'm seeing no evidence of them causing damage from my googling. lots suspect they cause battery drain but only a few do in very rare cases

    Scotty Kilmer I love your channel Scotty and this is good to know. I have never heard of this problem. I do know that I bought a used ELM327 from Amazon with good reviews for about $9 after shipping and bought the $5 torque app. It does everything that I need it to do. I did have a cheap scan tool I bought from Autozone but it doesn't even come close to what the Torque app can do. I think my point is find a brand of bluetooth ELM327 with good reviews at a decent price and it will be safe to use and much more versatile than the scanners from one of the big box stores (unless you are willing to drop some serious cash).

    I watched some of your videos tonight and can see that you give a lot of good advice. I have seen you recommend in some of your videos, including this one, that people buy a scan tool. A scan tool is a great tool to have, but unless a person works on cars on a regular basis, it might be more economical for an individual just to take their car to Auto Zone, Advance Auto, or other such parts stores and have them pull the engine codes for them. Most all auto parts stores will do that for free. If a person needs to take a scanner home to check another vehicle, most parts stores will rent them out through a loan-a-tool program. It's a great way to get the tools you need, especially specialty tools, without having to invest a lot of money for tools that you may only use once every few years. Like you, I am a tool fanatic and have a good sized assortment of tools, but I don't buy specialty tools that I can get from one of the loan-a-tool programs. It saves a ton of money. Will be watching more of your videos as time permits. Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

    You are so right Scotty! Great list of tools and some great advice. You are right about those cheap little bluetooth code scanners too. They are not reliable at all. You can still go cheap, but always go wired. Those wireless ones are junk and when you think about the miles of wire and electrical components in a vehicle, it is not hard to see why you get interference with such devices. Hell, when I fixed computers in a shop long ago, we were wired back then (no wireless at all) and had huge issues with one side of the shop, in the back corner and our electrical stuff just acted weird back there. Turns out, because we were in a mall and behind a movie theater, that all the electrical for the theater, ran behind that particular wall and corner. So I understand electrical interference problems all too well. Hehehehe.
