    I just replaced my maf and map sensors on my 09 honda accord lx and the p0420 code popped up. I have a brand new cat that was replaced last summer so that is not the issue. Will the foulers work for my car to pass inspection so i can have more time to figure out whats going on? We do not have smog tests in my state

    Don’t get aftermarket knock sensors!! AC Delco only! Go to an actual parts store and ohm test them with a multimeter before you bring them home. You want a reading of around 100k ohms. Specs state should read between 93k and 107k ohms of resistance.

    my 2013 Ford escape had a bad oil leak.. turns out the gaskets on these vaccum pumps go bad cause a pretty good oil leak and where its at on the engine most people think its head gasket.. mine luckily did not snap the crankshaft bolt.. that happens when the vaccum pump fails and sizes.. so its better to replace the pump before it fails

    Looks like your Ford Escape wanted to leave a trail of oil wherever it went! Good thing you caught it before it turned into a major disaster.

    i think the reason most mechanics use maf cleaner is they jave a big ass bottle of it staring at them from the shelf shouting use me use me and so it gets used has maf cleaner ever changed the scan tool reading notice he does not show maf reading before and after so we are led to believe the shit works or its the shit what ever

    Thank You!! This video saved my arse today. Dipstick tube broke off at the block while trying to replace it today. Used the bolt technique and got it out. While threading the bolt in the remaining dipstick tube tried falling into the pan. Had just enough bolt threads caught to pull the tube back out. Lucky break!
