Hi Scotty, been watching your vids for awhile now. On Labor Day while driving outside of Orlando on i 4, in 70+ MPH crazy traffic, the Toe Arm on my 2015 Cadillac SRX BROKE. I lost all control of the rear end of the car. My Son and I are very lucky as there are some who have been killed due to the Toe Arm issue. In your experience, have you had many customers with a Toe Arm issue? There is a RECALL on the SRX Models I was not aware of until it was too late. The Cadillac Dealership is asking me to stop in there next week as I did have the car repaired in Orlando as we had to get back on the Highway the next day in order to return home. Any advice is appreciated. Thank You...All the Best to You and Yours.

I've noticed that since the 2000's at least, GM has also developed some sort of.....obsession with putting the ECU in the engine bay. I've never understood why, like you said, you'd want to expose a delicate electronic device to the elements, heat, water, fluids from potential leaks, etc. Luckily four of my cars (a 1990 Holden Calais, 2001 Holden Berlina, and two 90's Mazdas) have the ECU and most of the rest of the electronics in the cabin where they belong.

Are you sure the Celica doesn't only have a MAF sensor and not a MAP? All early multipoint fuel injection cars I work on have MAF sensors, but I didn't see MAPs until a lot more recently.

VAG thought a better location for the ECU !!! they put under the wipers. so when the drain holes get stuck from leafs , dust etc etc , when it rains the ECU has its own private lake...

Feel better Scotty .

My ford transit Map sensor just broke and this vehicle only has 59,000 miles!

I think they do things that reduce the lifespan on purpose, aslongas it get the thing past the warantee it then becomes more profit when things go wrong. I used to fix televisions and they would put low temperature capacitors very close to power transistors that get get hot, they would go wrong a month or 2 put of warantee and the result of the capacitor drying out would destroy the power transistor, an easy enough fix but only if you know to replace the capacitor before replacing the transistor ..

Have you seen your image has been used to sell and OBD gas saver glad I seen a previous video when you shot those down .

I have a 2010 dodge avenger sxt that I bought with 130k miles on it and I updated a lot of stuff on it. I paid $2400 for it and put about $3000 into it and now the engine runs smooth and it rides really nice. I'm pretty sure I'll get a few good years out of it 👍🏻

Hey Scotty! I have a Volvo V70 (2006) with ECM 135F, ECM 134F and turbo control (All that seems to be connected to the MAP sensor) and ECM 2830 with the lambda probe saying that it is too low fuel... Have tried to change out the MAF sensor, and will try to change the TMAP sensor today. The car lose power, is slow up hill, have black smoke and sometimes it can feel like a kangaroo jumping, then after that no power at all until ignition is turned off, and the car is started again. Have to say that after we changed the MAF the car got better overall, but still have issues related to the car either getting to lean or too rich, and the other troubles that follow with that. If this doesn't work do you have any idea where to go next?

Lol...@ 0:45..that's what he said! 😂...@ 2:30 ahhhahaha 🤣

Scotty likes cars with more simple technology and less electronics. Manual transmission has less electronics, too.

That MAF sensor placement was designed to fail. That's what happens when car engineers design cars with computerized parts. Computer designers know that computerized parts don't belong near high heat and water. Just like BMW should know that plastic parts shouldn't be placed near their twin turbocharged engines, but in early models, they did it anyway. Oh well, live and learn and let the buyer pay down the road is a good motto for a lot of manufacturers these days. Happy motoring folks.

Thank you Scotty for such indeepth information. Would you recommend replacing the MAF sensor after 168K VS Cleaning it? My 007 Lexus IS350 still has the original MAF.
