Sometimes getting manufacture specific info can be awesome. For my ford I use forscan and I got a check engine light for a map sensor out if range code. When I scanned it was saying the code was not active but it keeps the light on. If I took it anywhere they would have swapped the sensor and the harness. I just rest the code and had no issue, bought some cleaner and cleaned all 3 sensors and have had no issues since. Just a one time freak out if range code.

The extra product leaking around the button is how CRC is trying to get you to use more than one can every couple years.

Thanks again for common sense repairs, we need more trustworthy mechanics like you and your shop that believe in doing the right job. Taking care of your customers.

Agree. I had a 91 mazda b2200. Less that 40k on it. California. It failed smog miserably and was tagged as a gross poluter for tge rest of its life. Took it to the dealer. They said the cat was bad. Paid to have replaced. Still gross poluter. Took to a couple mechanics. And one guy got all the smog readings and pondered for a while, staired at the MAF sensor for a while, then offered me $500 for the truck, that hesitation looking at the maf made me think twice. Took it home. Sprayed carb cleaner and what do you know. Fixed. Scammers everywhere.

Great diag. Your troubleshooting skills are 2nd to none. I always learn something from you on each video. Thanks and please keep the videos coming.

Great diagnosis and repair as always. However, I'm now sad. Reminds me of the 2013 Silverado I had, may she rest in pieces.

Master class from one of the best ever. Side note: I been getting bad spray paint cans recently, tube inside falls off. They figured out spray cans in the 60's... Now they can't even manufacture those properly. Junk Junk Junk.

Great explanation of how the long term and short term trims and how they work. That made sense.

I had a spray paint can do that same thing (actually worse, just spewing everywhere ) and nearly ruin a paint job I was doing on the bumper of my daughter's Corolla. Really infuriating. Thanks as always, Eric!!

I thoroughly enjoy your videos, and always learn a great deal from you. Whether it be a scantool or a nut and bolt repair, they both are phenomenal. I hope you do a video on the Odessey... I think it would be awesome. Thank you for teaching this old dog new tricks.🙏💜

I just found you on KZread while convalescing in a hospital bed after a hip replacement and was very impressed at your knowledge base. I’m not a mechanic but I consider myself a bit more than a DIY’er especially for a Priest. Wish there were more mechanics like you we could rely on.

I gotta say again, you are an excellent and entertaining teacher. Really enjoy the logical conclusions you arrive at and the excellent clarifications on how you got there. You take a case of complete befuddlement and when you are done explaining, I almost understand what I thought you were talking about. In other words, GREAT video!!! Keep it up, we're loving it!

You know you're hooked onto these videos when you yelling "CHEVVY THUNDER!" synchronizes perfectly with Eric's 😅 Re oil burners: I know people like to hate on BMW, but my BMW (328 XI) has non measurable oil consumption at 90K. Ok, no dipstick, skeptics could claim the electronic oil level display is a lie, but I guess the dealer pull out nearly as much as they put every 7k.😊

Great info on alcohol content and reset for fuel trims! In the real old days we adjusted trims by first removing q-jet carburetor and grinding the anti-tamper plugs out that covered the mixture screws in carb base plate,then re-install on engine and adjust to best manifold vacuum. If you were real high tech you would use a 3 gas exhaust analyser and set co at about 1.5 to 3.0 percent. This is back when men were men and hotrods were built in Detroit.

Loving the diagnosis videos Eric. Nice work

learning much from these type of videos for when we have similar issues.

It's a chevy intensive part of the country... in these 2003 to 2013 time period ford could not seem to make an engine you can rely on in a rural environment with salt and cold and they cost more... with silverado switching to wet belt timing in their base engine, he can look forward to removing transmissions just to change timing belts.

I appreciate the time you took to go through this! Very helpful!!!

These videos are great. Because they show your learned, methodical approach to fixing these things. Good on ya.

Thanks for the video on fuel trims. Interesting seeing the various systems that can interact with that.

One of the best videos I've seen that walk thru diagnosing engine troubleshooting. You're the best. Best wishes to you and your family.

Another great video. Pretty mundane to you but I learn something every time. Thank you Eric.

Good job,I always enjoy your fixes. Thanks

Very informative, thanks for sharing your experience and thoughts. Always appreciated.

Thanks Eric you always provide a great video. And teach us at the same time.....

Your depth of knowledge about all these modules and engine management systems is outstanding. You play that scan tool like a violin. I'm starting to cry just thinking about it. Well done good sir.

Thank you so much for bringing to light the issue with CRC MAS cleaner. I, too, have had problems with it.

Thanks. Right at the end you were talking about GM oil burners. You described my Equinox exactly. Now I know.

That is a neat trick with the q tip.I never would have thought of.

So much to understand. Your experience is worth gold. Somehow it seems like the balance of fuel control systems is only as good as the sensors. Eric your understanding of the fuel trim numbers is valuable to make the right call. Really enjoy the learning from your videos.

Thank you for such a splendid demonstration

Love your videos, especially those diagnosing electrical problems.

The more engines become computer integrated the more these types of solutions are needed, well done Mr. O.

actually, I appreciate the hands-on-actual diagnostic manner you have, you explain well, and give the alternative cause. This type of video is priceless training. Thank you and Mrs O

“I hope I am not boring you” lol! Never! Your troubleshooting and logical skills never bore anyone! Your wealth of knowledge is also used by many! Tack on your wonderful family, and joy of doing what you do is amazing! Makes me want to move out to your neck of the woods from the west coast and come work for you for free just to suck up your knowledge!

Your videos are awesome. I learn something or pick up some tidbit in every video

Really enjoy your videos! I bet they have been running that truck super rich for a while and the gas vapors in the crankcase remains for a while. I used to own an old '85 Chevy that was owned by a local propane company that was running a propane setup complete with a small tank. I took all that stuff off and bolted up a nice 4BBL carb and installed a new gas tank. Lot easier to gas it up than constantly need to get propane. It always smelled like a barbecue grill when it ran, even on gasoline!! Just couldn't get those vapors out of that engine. You're the best, Eric! Thank you for all you do.

The description of operation at 23:00 made complete sense. Great way to describe it!

Very good video. I'm very interested in your scan tool videos and how you figure things out.

Hello! I absolutely enjoy your break downs and explanations of everything. You're such a great teacher! Thank you!

And by the way, you could do any video and I would watch it. It could just be doing this all day and I'll watch them, they all give me so much information and I love it!!

I like these scan tool videos, the ecu is the best partner to assist in diagnostics.

Another great video. You’re the BEST. Aaron from Canada

I love the Diagnostic how it works, scan tool Vids.

I do enjoy this type of video where you talk through the scan tool readings and what they mean, and the possible reasons for the readings. It's also good to hear what the normal values should be. I'm a DIYer and recently purchased a scan tool, so your videos help me to learn how to interpret the data I'm seeing. Thx 😊

Always learn something from your videos Eric. Thanks for making them.

Used to be in the automotive field years ago, moved on to maintenance sup at a big warehouse. Still work on cars on the weekends. I enjoy the scanner videos and learn what to look for from you. Keep up the great work fella.

Great job Eric! I greatly appreciate your knowledge and wisdom (their not both the same thing). With your down to earth explanation of fuel trim processing (23:25) I believe most of us could understand exactly.

Eric you’ve entertained and educated millions on you’re channel, thank you for your work on the autos and your work on setting up the posts for the tube, hi from Ireland, ps Eric certainly not boring very interesting you’re a magician with the scan tool

Watching your videos are like getting identifix with video explanations of what to test and look for. I love it

Chevy also has a computer update, at least they did for my 2010, that fixed some of the programming logic. I was having a to reset the alcohol content once a week as the truck would get really hard to start from cold. I had my shop run the update on the computer and have not had a problem since.

@fixingitrightish

Жыл бұрын

Their programming "logic" is so ass backwards. In my impala if it is super cold outside and doesn't reach operating temperatures within a certain amount of time it throws an error for the temp being out of spec. It doesn't have a code for the engine being cold so it throws the code for the engine overheating instead, because wtf else is it supposed to do lol. It then turns off the temp sensor, disables the air conditioning and kicks the radiator fans onto high. My car is cold and it's actively making it colder.

Every job that you do is so easy Till I start diagnostic in myself😅😅😅 I appreciate all the videos to you there really help people

Thanks Mr. O. I like cruising around town with you. It's cool!!!! And in a Chevy THUNDER it's all the better!

I had to look up lambda and Stoichiometric combustion, I learn something from everyone of your videos!

One of my regulars pulls up yesterday in a 1995 Olds Silhouette that was idling at about 2000 rpm. When you mentioned old school, I could relate. Got a new ECM for it this morning, swapped the PROM and it wouldn't even start. Gotta love reman. I had to reinstall the old one to move it.

Very informative overall. Excellent thorough job. If I was the customer I would change the oil and of course, fix the headlight.

Eric, Great video - thank you! 'Out here in the field(s) I fight for my meals I get my back into my living....' From one of the first albums I bought (not stolen from my older sister) Paul (in MA)

I'd have cleaned The throttle body myself, just to see the foam! amazing!

Than you Eric O. for another Great video.Yoy never let us down.

The evap vent performance code is telling you that the vent filter is plugged and that is what throws off the alcohol content calculation in the Ecm. Love the videos. Service data describes the calculation for alcohol content.

Awesome I was able to complete a job successfully today because of this video thank you Mr

True, provided you have an expensive analyzer and know how to use them. I'm a retired mechanic, and it just wouldn't pay to purchse one for the possible one or two times I may need it.

Great repair job Mr O. Didn't even half to open the parts cannon on this Chevrolet!!!😅

Love those chevys! They give lots of good job security for mechanics!

I can't remember if my truck was that slow before, cam, heads ported and smoothed, newer intake (tbss), 36# injectors, holley sniper 90mm throttle body and custom 3&1/2 inch cold air intake tube. Oh, forgot the shorty headers and 2600 stall FTI converter. A lot of blood, sweat and tears, (not to mention $), but it's a blast to drive. I had to rebuild the tranny after all the engine upgrades. 210,000 miles couldn't take the extra power. I put the converter in while doing that. We spend a lot of money on our machines, but like Arnie Cunningham said on Christine, "there is nothing finer than being behind the wheel of your own car". Thanks Eric O and family for all the fine videos. God bless y'all.

I have a 2005 5.3 had the same issue with stumbling when pulling up to a stop sign. Pulled off the cold air intake to throttle body and saw a ring of carbon crust around the butterfly flapper. Sprayed it with carb cleaner and runs great again.

Ivan will be so proud of you !!!

I like seeing the scan tool diagnostics. I have a scan tool that shows all those numbers but am not sure what they are suppose to be. Nice to learn.
