@@rob5944 Sounds like there’s good reasons for Scotty saying if it’s not a Toyota or Lexus don’t buy it. I think it’s a huge mistake for Toyota to quit building full-size pickups with a V-8. Toyota generally reads their market well but that decision considering the problems with the TwinTurbo Ford V6’s is not very smart.

I bought a pathfinder once. The dealer wanted $3500 for it. I tested it and it acted like it need new injectors. I asked him if he had any work done on it and he said he just had the whole lower unit done. I told him I would give him 1500 because I would most likely have to buy injectors for it and put them in. I got home and was messing around with it and checking the injectors. My hand was on a wire loom that went to the injectors and it started running smooth as silk. Whoever did the work on it didn’t connect the loom all the way. So I cleaned the connections, reconnected it and drove that car for five years before I traded it in for a new truck.

Excellent battery connection tip

I'm glad you put this up, Scotty. The electrical connections on everything from the headlights to the tranny need cleaned on a truck I recently bought. It runs okay, but prevention is ten times better than regret on a cold dark road at night. I knew to do it, but never thought of it when I was messing with things on it. Now it's front and center on the "to do" list. 👍

Love this guy, he’s a machine with his knowledge of engines

CRC electronics cleaner works magic! It's my first option with any electrical problem. Ive solved radio volume control, power window, even 'broken' flashlight issues with a two second spray.

That cleaner you used is GOLD . I never leave home without it. Fixed so many electrical things I can't count.

u r an asset in mechanic world..may u live long..

I remember using a paperclip to check the codes on my mom's 82 Buick skylark, V-6. The connector was under the steering column. Took it to tech school and could do burnouts with it after tuning it to spec. Ran amazingly. Loved seeing that again. Scotty, your the best!

Where l worked yrs ago We had 5 apprentices, one was very good 2.were ok and the other 2 , smashed up customers cars mainly on road tests .

I had a car running rough t idle. I looked at the throttle body and it was dirty. not a lot, in fact to me it looked like it was insignificant amount of carbon, but i cleaned it anyway since i had it opened up. Lo and behold! What difference! I just could not believe how little crud could cause so much trouble. I mean we are basically talking stains not thick build up. Live and learn!

I use that same cleaner on a daily basis in repairing 40+ year-old audio gear. It does a heck of a job.

Another great video in a series of many. Great job, Scotty!

On Toyota's or at least the 4runners I've worked on 4 I have found if you take the plastic out of the battery cable it gets a lot better connection the plastic cover is usually broke off anyways I'll do it even if it's running good so it doesn't leave someone along the road

Had same prob. w/loose batt. connection. Car stalled in traffic, threw a code, "low voltage to MAF sensor," among others. Back in the day, I drove LTD's, Thunderbirds & Grand Marquis's ( all rearwheel drive) year round in N.E. In the winter, I put studded snow tires on & 4 50lb. buckets of sand in trunk. I never, ever, got stuck even once. Listen to Scotty! 😲

For that battery connect issue, I have cut a copper pipe and made small piece to insert like you did with the wire. Worked perfectly

I liked you 10 gauge wire fix on the battery terminal, 8 years ago I had a 02 Corolla with a loose terminal just stuck in a galvanized screw and it worked great haha.

Always lube connectors after you clean. Use dielectric grease and do the pins and the seals. Prevents corrosion and makes them easier to pull back apart if you need to.

Your video on the Honda Element for the solenoid problem really came in handy today but my engine light still won't go off and the solenoid that I took off didn't really look clogged but the car runs better now

Thank you Scotty another good job!

We don't know if it was cleaning the electrical connectors or getting a better battery connection. Mr. Kilmer should have done the most likely fix first and then tested it before doing the other fix so we know what is to blame.

I'm pretty new to your channel, but really enjoying it. Keep up the good work.

Great video, Scotty!

In my experience garages always want to replace parts at the first sign of a fault code. Always worth checking connections, seals and joints as best you are able before going ahead with expensive part replacements. Just remember to reset you fault codes after the clean (disconnecting the battery will do this on most cars).

Thanks so much for the great videos! Quick question, would CLR work on electrical connectors for removing corrosion?

Crimp the right sized connector onto the battery leads if the correct sized terminal batteries are not available. In cold weather they need BOTH batteries to give their best for reliable starting...

Next week Scotty will have a video "Only idiots hammer on a battery"

Around 6:30 you check the battery, enter 575 CCA which is the label rating, and the tester says 1008 CCA. Then you check the second battery. You're seeing 1008CCA because the batteries are wired in parallel. Each battery is averaging 504CCA.

On my even older '87 Toyota Supra, codes are cleared by pulling the EFI fuse for 30 seconds. If they return, then they are persistent, and need to be addressed. My engine codes can be read in the same way however, I have the rare optional Super Monitor on the dash, which allows me to read codes numerically. The codes are defined in the shop manual. Constant flashing means no codes stored.

nice looking ln130. the ecu capacitors commonly go bad in those and cause all sorts of drivability issues. also the ecu codes for diesels is different to the petrol codes, it sounds like you where using the petrol codes.

Hey Scotty, I found a great product that removes electrical corrosion especially on a Honda 600 ;-) Napa sells this, it's Aluminum Brightener, it's a mild phosphoric acid and of course you will want to neutralize afterwards and I like Windex for that and for folks without an air compressor, Air Duster works well for drying off the contacts. .

I have been watching Scotty for a while now & surprised you didn't use a battery cable end spreader on the Negative Cable instead of hammering on the Battery Terminal.

That was suppose to say priceless. Voice to text is crap! 😂

I was having an issue with two codes from my 07 Honda Accord and both codes were related to the PCM(U0100 & U1202). After dealing with both codes for several weeks I had made the decision that I needed to replace the PCM. I removed the PCM and disassembled completely looking for possible damage. No visible damage and I thought if I am replacing the PCM at least attempt to clean the PCM circuit board and see if either code goes away. I sprayed the PCM circuit board front and back with CRC QD electrical cleaner. Allowed to dry 30 minutes, assembled the PCM, plugged it in, and immediately it started up. For two weeks the car would not start, so I drove it around for 10 to 15 minutes and no codes. I am back on the road with no codes.

Scotty, you so smart You are a highly experienced man Absolutely excellent in his craft Unfortunately about as common as a unicorn

It doesn't shut off the turbo It puts the engine in ramp down mode with the ecm controlling the output if the fuel by controlling the electronic governor on some of those diesels

These Hi Lix diesels are extremely popular as “ Safari cars” as they are called in Africa. They are used primarily on unimproved ( awful) bush roads. Still slow as a sloth, but very rugged, easy to fix and they don’t burn much fuel.

When doing load testing on dual battery set ups, you need to discount ground on one of the batteries or you won’t be able to test individual batteries.

That stuff helped me fix my pcm after a deep freeze!!!!
