    True words on routine car maintenance back in the day, I learned by helping my Dad in the early 70’s pulling, cleaning, and checking the plug gaps. Pulling the distributor cap checking the points, rotor, and contacts. Checking the timing, dwell, along with any carb adjustments rich/lean/idle along with a shot of carb cleaner. Looking for any leaks, all that was done at home back then… Dad was impressed with Honda’s CVCC engineering, running on regular gas meeting the emission standards without all the added junk you would find on most other models then. Love your show and the knowledge you share!!

    If you want to buy a scan tool, make sure it’s compatible with your vehicle. There’s OBD 1 for vehicles made before 1996 and OBD 2 for vehicles made after 1996. Some cars made from 1994 to 1996 use what’s known as OBD 1.5 which usually means it’s an OBD 1 system but with an OBD 2 connector. Scan tools that can work with OBD 1.5 are expensive or hard to find (like the Bosch OBD 1300). I hope this helps someone!

I bought a special usb to obd1.5 cable and then there was some free software for my laptop from the same company that sold the cable. Can’t remember the name of the company. Anyway, the software was surprisingly complete and capable. Codes, reset and all live data from all sensors (signal waveform and numeric data). It was pretty cool actually and very useful for troubleshooting. I don’t have the car anymore. I left the obd1.5 cable in the glove box for the next owner because they would need it more than I would.

    Gapping spark plugs, if you do it correctly you don’t touch it center electrode. I have gapped Iridium plugs and have never had a problem. The problem I do have is that when I buy these plugs they are rarely gapped correctly. For instance when I bought a four pack for a Honda not one of them had the same gap. The boxes are tossed around and thrown around during shipping and the manufacture to the parts store. How to gap a spark plug correctly is the key.

    Either the magnetic spark plug sockets or the rubberized ones (although the rubberized ones can wear out, so if you're a mechanic, get the other ones as they will be used a lot). I never had a problem with the rubberized ones (with the rubber in the middle) but I also only used it maybe a dozen times on cars over the years. I actually like what Toyota has done. Newer Toyotas since about 2020 can use Android Auto or Apple Car Play and you can project Google Maps or Apple Maps to the LCD screen on the radio, so it's like you have navigation, but not paying extra for it and it won't malfunction (and cause error codes). Maybe not as elegant as a built-in GPS but it works the same (I can interact with Google Maps as if it was built-into the car in the form a navigation system). Best thing is it didn't cost any extra (I could have paid about $1000 more for the upgraded stero with Navigation, but not worth it if I can do this).

    Hey Scotty you forgot to tell us something. The MAFS should be cleaned every time you change the Air Filter because it gets dirty and starts to give the wrong air/fuel mixture to the engine and sooner or later it will cause the your engine to stall out immediately after starting. This is a crucial part of maintainance. I have seen this cause problems for people so many times. Also clean your battery terminals because I have seen where the dash lights go haywire and the car won't start but the terminals dont even look dirty. But after you clean them the car starts working fine.

    @CJM when you’ve been doing this car mechanical work for 53 years like he has, he knows the feel of torque for spark plugs, but he said you can also use a torque wrench too. Well the plugs are coated from the factory which is why you don’t use antiseize on them. I can’t explain how many times I’ve argued with people over this mechanic fact, Scotty explained what can happen if you antiseize them when they are already coated. If someone’s been doing something for 53 years I don’t think their inexperienced or stupid at it 😂 lol.

    Some of the most valuable things I've ever learned in life is how to maintain and repair a car. I've never used anything from Algebra or some of those other math classes. Some geometry yes but the rest of them no. Unless you are going to be a nuclear physicist you won't use that advanced math but you will use basic car maintenance and repair. That's one of the useful things that should be taught in school.

    Scotty, you forgot to double check the gap on those new spark plugs before you installed them. Yes, I know, the box claims they are "pre-gapped", but it only takes a few seconds to check each plug to make sure it's at the exact gap as specified in the owner's manual. Now if you don't want to adjust the gap, at least now you will know for certain if they are the wrong gap and can take them back to the store for exchange.

    The term "tune-up" has just changed meanings over the years, with perhaps newer cars not needing as many things done. Like back in say the 70-80's, belts had to be changed every 30k miles, transmission fliuid probably every 30k or 50k, coolant every few years, and plugs probably every 3-4 years. But these days, you still have to do a "tune up" or maintenance, but it's much longer intervals, like 6-8 years for many things. I wouldn't say the concept hasn't gone away (yes, you don't have to go tweaking things like the air intake or throttle control as those are electronically controlled and adjusted by the ECM, but you do still have maintenance to do at certain -- but longer -- intervals than they used to be. Even oil changes have gone from every 2,000 to 3,000 miles or 3 months now to about 6,000 miles or 6 moths (I wouldn't go 10,000 miles or a year without an oil change though, 6000 miles or 6 months is at most [or 4 months / 5,000 miles if you're really picky]).
