Dear Ratchets, I honestly don't know what I'd be doing with my car if it wasn't for you. You've helped me so much over the last 5-10 years, your videos are always comprehensive; understandable and often funny. I've undertaken many DIY car repairs confidentially and successfully thanks to you, including but not limited to, spray-painting (re-clearing; blending; sanding/polishing and so on). Thanks so much , keep up the amazing work, we all appreciate you more than words could ever describe!

Most other channels just blame the lean mixture or the low octane fuel but you've done a great job putting together a comprehensive list of causes that contribute to engine knocking.

This video was super informational and explained in very easy to understand and terms! Thank you for explaining so comprehensively what can cause engine knock, I feel much more confident going into the mechanic now instead of just driving up and saying 'there is a concerning noise, fix it!'

Thank you for uploading this video it's the most comprehensive coverage on what could cause a P0325 code available on KZread. I recently had my head gasket replaced on my 2005 honda civic lx special edition. Three days after getting it back I'm getting a P0325 code thanks to you I at least have some steps to take before I spen a ton more money.

The fellow doing these videos is magnificent. I believe I've learned more, via an easier fashion, regarding engines from him than from anyone else. That's not to say that there aren't a lot of good fellows on the innerweb putting out good stuff, I mean to say that this fellow is just that much better. Great presentation! Thank you so much for teaching me stuff for free!

Honestly I like the way how you explain every thing thanks a lot man

Great video. It explain and or answered my questions. I've looked for videos about knocking and couldn't find any explaining or showing or even detailing it to me like this. Great video.

You have no idea how happy I am that I found you. Thank you for sharing your knowledge!

love your videos bro! I always learn something.

Thanks my mechanic.My Toyota Hiace 1rz engine had this problem recently and was fixed by correcting the ignition timing.The distributor was over advanced.thanks good video.

Thanks for the video. I add a couple bottles of Gumout with PEA to my vehicles gasoline occasionally to help clean up the intake valves and combustion chamber. I also use it in my old carbed motorcycles and it does a good job helping to keep the carbs from plugging up. I also use it in the gas of my 2 stroke FI boat motor where it solved an engine miss. I also mix some with the gas in all of my gas powered lawn tools to keep the carbs clean. Chevron Techron does a good job too I've heard.

Ty for the info! I'm gonna go to school for auto engineering! This helps a lot! Please make more diagnostic videos! Have a blessed day:)

You just answered exactly what my car has been doing for a while. Time to change the spark plugs! Thanks for the video!

Thank you for the extensive video and precise inspection, This video really helped me out :)

Great information! It's obvious you're an experienced mechanic by your explanations. Great job and thanks for sharing! Subscribed!!!🙂

This is by far the best video you have ever made.

Very simple and to the point. Amazing video!!

I got a 2013 Chevrolet impala and with direct injection i had a pinging noise when i accelerated, i added that Berryman B-12 AND it really helped that pinging. I assume i had carbon build up . Very interesting video 👍

That was a nice video to watch, and I knew about some of the problems one could find in the vehicles, but didn't know about the EGR system, and have to do further checking on that. Thanks for sharing this information with us.

Great video very professional not like other videos I've seen keep making them and will keep watching them thanks for the help

learn a lot from your video dude!

I think I heard you say that decreasing the timing BTDC will increase the chance of spark knock giving the example of it changing from 30 degrees BTDC to 15 degrees BTDC increasing the odds of having spark knock. You got that backwards. I love your videos man! I look forward to each and every one of them!

This is one of the best ten min. video. Good explanation and good snack while you watching. You know, about timming belt and the bored dog. Hahaha. I really enjoyed this video.

very impressed thanks man u look tired tho, get some rest big brugh thanks for the links,yr great.

Dude you are the Best. Excellent teaching. Now i have a more detailed idea about what to check in my car that is knocking. I realiza i never change the spark plugs. Easy solution. Thanks

That's what we need. Detailed information, what causes what and why. Excellent video there. Subscribed! :)

Another great video for KZread! Thank you!

Exelent te felicito muy profesional la explicación. Gracias desde Argentina .

I love your videos man! Keep it up!

Thanks for this. Very on-point and descriptive.

This video is fantastic. Watch and learn all the stuff from Ratchets and Wrenches channel and you'll be a damn good mechanic, or at least you'll able to work on your own car. The best quality explanations on the subject. I really need to get that scanner. ;p

You would make a great mechanic teacher for a tech college. So thorough and easy to understand. 👍

Thanks for the video! Based on what I understand here with my Toyota v6 I'm going to simply try higher octane fuel as a 'dumb' diagnostic to see if it helps. Of course this doesn't fix the problem, but gives me some time before I have to worry about fixing it. Then I'll probably do some Seafoam, easy to do and not a whole lot of effort (possibly will clean out carbon.) Then after I've wasted my time and gas money on that I'll go after the real problem which I'll bet is probably EGR, spark plugs, or lean fuel.

Finally a great detailed vid.. Nice

Thanks for the info, you rock!!

I love this video! Now I know where to start on my car! Thanks

Your videos are among the best out there! Always very informative and clear. Thank you

Tons of info. Thanks!

Keeping us in the track always

Your videos are excellent. .keep up the good work

Thanks for the video and info bud!👍🏽

Great video man you help me out !

MAN YOU THE BEST U GAVE THE BEST ANSWER THEN ANYBODY ON YOU TUBE YOU TGE BEST!!!!!

Would be great if all engine knock problems were as simple as old plugs. Good list of possible causes. For the purpose of evaluating fuel trims for rich or lean condition, it should be check at varied engine speeds and loads. I recently switched from 87 octane in my Ecotec, GDI engine to 91 Octane, Top Tier fuel and it significantly reduced my positive long term fuel trims. Before it would run nearly 10 percent, but now it is 2-3, with STFT fluctuating between -2 and + 2. This is consistent through all engine loads.

Excellent lesson thanks

Thank you!!! I have a '06 Mazda B3000 which has similar knocking issues. I'll replace the sparkplugs first. The previous owner/friend says it's never been done.

Very useful as always

Strange thing about running a lean condition is, it ends up using more fuel. You'd think if it's running lean it'd be less, however you end up mashing the throttle open more to compensate for the lack of power and in turn makes it use more fuel.
