This guy is a fund of information and a lifesaver. Great content, as always.

Just want to share some of my experiences: 1) One time my Nissan died on the road... drove my mechanic nuts trying to figure out why it died and wouldn't restart... we even changed out the fuel pump motor.... eventually he found out that there was a small piece of debris right on the MAF sensor wire. 2) In another incident my Kia Rio kept dying on the road intermittently... my mechanic traced it to a clogged air filter. 3) A faulty ECU can also cause stalling... the dealer was able to diagnose this correctly using advanced scan equipment/dealer level scan tool. 4) for modern commonrail diesels, a clogged or failing SCV (suction control valve) can cause stalling. Also a clogged fuel filter too. 5) check your wiring... chewed up wires (rodent caused) can mess up your electrical system and cause hesitation and stalling When stalled, the very FIRST thing to do is to move your car to safety. If your car had just stalled and you still have momentum, turn on your flashers and try your best to reach the shoulder or emergency lane. Other drivers behind may have not noticed your breakdown and they can slam into your car unexpectedly.

I guess we both presumed its the same thing on this car... i just wanted to be sure and eliminate that factor. I guess sometimes its a simple solution/simple fix but we do complex stuff to try to solve the problem. Hehe. ;)

I had the antifreeze - but pouring it in just dumped more on the road. Only time I have ever been stranded on the road.

You can connect one of those booster batteries but do NOT disconnect the battery or batteries while the car is running. The voltage regulator in the alternator requires a battery in the circuit to function. All the computers require a correct voltage to function and to survive.

Do a video about what you should keep in your car or pick up

Great. Super practical tips!

Not a good idea to change a fuse to a higher value fuse because the fuse is sized to keep the wire in the circuit safe from overheating. Better advice is to keep 4 or 5 of each value as spares in the glove box....they take up very little room. Then when a fuse has blown replace it with the same size as originsl, then if that one blows too you must find out what the problem is in that circuit....if you put a higher value fuse in, the wire in the circuit may start to heat up and start a fire........

Jeffrey Hill very much yes. Modern vehicle just don't blow fuses for no reason. There is a cause. Wether its added accessories, or a short to power.

@sct913

6 жыл бұрын

Absolutely correct. If you blow a fuse that ends up stranding you, and don't have one of the correct amperage available (always a good idea to keep a few spares in the glove box), then it's much better to swap one of the correct value from a circuit that is less critical (i.e. one you don't absolutely need to get you home) than to use a fuse of a higher value instead. In addition to the risk of fire by using a fuse rated higher than the circuit is designed for, many circuits in cars (even older ones) have both fuses and so-called fusible links> These links are designed as a "last ditch" measure to protect the wiring from overheating if the fuse doesn't blow for some reason. If there's a steady short, using a larger amperage fuse will most likely blow this link, which will not only keep you stranded, but is much harder (and much more expensive) to repair as well.

My standard for after changing a worn belt is to put the old one in the trunk as a spare. A lot cheaper that buying a brand new one for a spare.

This guy should have a training academy or school for young mechanics

Thanks Kimmel I fixed my car right now...it stopped on the road...checked fuses at it was the fuel pump fuse...started right up

Scotty, where do you put your luggage on a trip? 😂

I’m glad I️ have everything you mentioned in my car except for the alternator belt and a battery jumper. You forgot to mention jumper cables for road side assistance!

I keep a huge gas powered air compressor with $100000 worth of Snap-On tools in my truck so I really make sure I can get through being stranded. Not to mention a box of fuses like yours, 200 gallon barrels of engine oil, gear oil, brake fluid, trans fluid, power steering fluid and coolant. I also have a whole new set of tires with new rims, 1 whole new spare engine and transmission, spare cooling system parts, a spare dashboard unit with all electronic modules, spare PCM unit, spare plastic parts that could break, and extreme diagnostics equipment to make sure I find the root of any malfunction. Now I just need a box of gloves, but can't afford them now because of reasons.

I keep all fluids, a belt, an electric pump and a battery pack in my car. the battery has paid for itself 10 times. I even sometimes carry around my 1/2" electric impact to quickly swap a tire if I need to. you think you'll never meed any of it but it's so nice to have it all when you do.

im learning alot from this GUY! legend!

This guy saved me millions

Check the Gas : 00:27 Check the fuses : 01:10 Check the belt : 02:09 Temperature : 03:00 The oil : 03:45

Nice video. I would say most of these problems would or could happen by not bringing the car to a good mechanic to check everything at least 2x a year. The likelihood of a fuse blowing while driving I would think is very rare. The same goes for a fan belt. A ten year old car could have a coolant leak from a whole in a radiator, which happened to me around 1999 on a trip to the catskills in NYS. As far as oil and other fluids like brake fluid and transmission fluid; It's the owners responsibility to have a mechanic check it. Some dealers don't charge for minor things, but DO have them checked. Keeping the proper tire pressure can be added to that list as well as the proper battery charge.

This is some of the best advice you could ever give anyone this is awesome and it’s better to be prepared and never use it then to not be and be stranded great work Scotty. You are the best you tuber over watched thanks for the great job keep it up

Got it Scotty, gotta have an auto shop in my trunk🙏..

Thank you for your awesome channel. Unsung hero.

This is funny, Scotty basically has a repair shot in his trunk ;). I'd add keep a eye on your gauges and warning lights. My serpentine belt broke a few months back and the battery light came on and the air conditioning stopped working. I realized what had happened and luckily my battery lasted long enough to drive it to my mechanics shop. Like 15 miles I was sweating it. When I got to the shop I had to turnaround and my electric power steering was starting to fail. Pretty lucky but if I hadn't been watching and saw the warning light I would have been dead on the side of the road.

I need to get me a spare scotty in my trunk haha

Very nice information

Very nice IDAHO no plate on Scotty Kilmers car!

Great tips Scotty!!! Sometime a larger fuse is just enough to let the smoke out of the failing component or knock a shorted wire off its short. Problem solve happy travels

Possible to do a review of the portable power packs and requirements to maintain/charging etc?

Could also be the PCV valve. This happed on my 2000 taurus the PCV valve boot was ripped in two.

Scotty is awesome

Thanks Scott. My truck is basically an AutoZone now. I am not afraid to go anywhere now.

What about driving and it dies in the middle of the road, then get it towed back home, sits a few minutes and starts right back up and idles fine? Usually going uphill it will die.

Great video Scotty.

if you drive a manual, just put it in 1st or 2nd gear and just keep cranking the engine all the way home or till your battery dies

I was waiting for Scotty to say make sure you have a spare belt for your spare belt!

Timing belt also... it's harder to check since you might need to un bolt some things to remove the cover but it happened to me in 2005. Make sure you know what milage intervals to change it at so you don't get stranded or bend the valves inside the engine!

One more tip that helped me once: my late '90s Buick just stalled on the freeway out of the blue. This was out of character, as the car was extremely well-maintained. I knew air and ignition were good. Fuel tank wasn't empty. No SES lamp or codes (I keep a scanner in car). Suspecting the fuel pump, I popped the trunk, took a tire iron and thumped the floor of the trunk near the fuel tank. Car started right up and ran fine for 3 more days. I kept a rubber mallet in the trunk and used it maybe ten times over the next month, until I could order a fuel sending unit and replace.

Brilliantly entertaining and informative! This guy's a frickin genius!

Scotty I forgot the rubber mallet bag on the bottom of the gas tank while someone else cranks the car or can you put a jumper on the EFI relay, Bank of the cash check make sure the fuel pump is working then start the car after us fought the relay back in?

In my friends case, his 2005 Ford F150 stopping running due to a failed fuel pump driver module. The thing rotted apart. Build Ford tough! It's in the back, under the spare wheel, so all I had to do is remove the connector and plug in the new one and let it hang until it got home. Thankfully there was an Advance Auto nearby who had one in stock.

Thanks Scotty for this video,
