Scotty Kilmer why does my accelerator stick!!! (I almost died)
honestly , scotty you are a real hero when it comes to helping people fix cars , god bless you
thanks for the support!
Scotty Kilmer hi my brakes are acting strange when I turn the car off the brake pedal goes hard automatically without me pushing it down a few times and I turned the car off with my foot on the brake and the brake returned to it's normal place forcing my foot up and going solid as a rock do you have any idea what is happening any help would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.
Hey Scott I have that issue I have 02 Nissan Maxima
@3:24 HOLY REDLINE, BATMAN ;)
Steve Kilpatrick he know what he's doing
Steve Kilpatrick holy shit!!
Nothin' like crusing down the street doing 30 MPH @9000 RPM.
looks fine to me
He went beyong the redline
Hey Scotty, do your neighbors ever get cranky about you squealing your tires and slammin on your breaks down your street?
Stephen Van Roekel He fix their cars for free...
Stephen Van Roekel he does it once, then replays the same video on all his videos.
Stephen Van Roekel one video he was shooting guns while doing a burn out while drinking a beer
Donald J. Trump i even seen one video he was doing a burn out shooting mexicans the bird while he was drinking a beer and smoking a joint with a confederate flag behind the car
lol no cause he's a mechanic,they probably pay him to fix their cars
This particular episode has a lot of the trademark Scotty Kilmer grunts. :D Thanks for the videos, I always enjoy them.
2:52 was my favorite
Great video Scotty! Removing older brake lines from a master cylinder or caliper can be a real pain in the @ss. If we don't see you in the future, we'll know you've been sacrificed by the Mayans.
actually, they almost got me. I acquired a weird bacteria infection there that almost killed me a couple weeks later.
Must have been a "Mayan" curse or Montezuma's revenge. Glad you beat it.
Looks like the tachometer is pinned to max.
MichaelAChang scotty loves to "rev up your engine" haha even past red line
No wonder the brake pedal sank to the floor...! :-)
MichaelAChang
A redline a day, keeps the mechanic away!
As it should be.
Thank you, Scotty. Thanks to you, I am able to do a lot more of my own car maintenance than I would be without your instruction.
3:23 "It's over 9,000!!"
I love how Scotty made 3 master brake cylinder replacement videos, on three different cars. Wow, work ethic, respect!
its called money making!
@@jimw7916 exactly
that's why the Mayans died out, bad brakes!
They died because all of them stared at a bullshit calendar.
good tip on the ABS being a potential culprit for internal leaks.
his neighbor's are like: Why does this guy slam on his brakes and do burnouts in front of his house?
Tyler Hanson he goes to a different neighborhood
and who otherwise is a fantastic neighbor.
Its amazing how you can explain a job like that so quickly. If you didn't live 4600 miles away I would press your brake pedal down for you, and i will comment again as soon as i get back from my Mediterranean cruise.
charles mclachlan So, you're still cruisin after 3 weeks? Lmao
Boat must've sank
The reservoir is loose @2:24 there is a big gap to the rubber seal, it's going to leak! It fitted flush on the old one.
didn't leak at all, but I did push it on tighter later on
I would also make sure that the calipers can bleed. I must have crimped one of my rubber lines and thought the pedal was sinking because of the MC due to no leaks. $200 later still had the same problem and it turned out it was a 30 min job that costed me $20.
If I have this problem do I need to bleed both the master and the calipers?!
Literally the problem with my car at this exact moment, you're a bloody legend Scotty keep it up!
try and bleed the brakes first
will do cheers!
Do you consider this your lucky day?
Kelly Medley.., Scotty is what's known as a, "Living Legend!"
@@BluntAnims Hey it's been two years, have you got the problem solved successfully? My brake pedal keeps going in when I put pressure on it. I've never had any problem with the braking though, so not really sure if it's something that need to be solved immediately. Thanks for any help : -)
Scotty, love your videos, a lot of help for a guy without much money to fix his car, keep them coming!!
I see a lot of mixed emotions on how people feel about ol Scotty here. But c'mon. This dude gets results. Alone. No excuses. Just ways to figure stuff out alone and in a pinch. Thank you Scotty for many unfixable fixs. Jammed up and alone.
Often when you have a sinking pedal from an internal master cylinder leak it will hold if you push hard on the pedal, but sink with moderate pedal pressure. I assume its because the seal under heavy pressure will expand outward against the wall. That kinda verifies it's inside the master cylinder as long as there are no external leaks to be found.
OK so I have no leaks, all new calipers, new rotors, new pads, and I just replaced the master cylinder as well. We bleed the system with a power bleeder 3 times. No air is coming out at this point. And we have put 3 quarts of brake fluid threw this thing.
I STILL have a spongy brake pedal. No change at all. And all 4 brakes are dragging enough to hold the vehicle in place in gear.
All calipers move free. All fluid is clear and air free. No ABS light. And no Brake warning light.
So now what do I do?
BadmunkyWRX take it to a mechanic
Almost definitely a brake booster
I had a friend accidentally put the front calipers on the wrong sides (older Nissan pickup) so the bleeders were on the bottom so of course he couldn't bleed them. Only vehicle ive personally seen where that could happen. He got quite frustrated for a while lol.
Hey Scotty. I have a sinking brake pedal but it firms up after several pumps but eventually will go soft again. Is that the same symptoms of a faulty master cylinder? Thanks.
Nice! 1997/98 240sx! It's referred to as the "kouki s14" in the 240 scene
Come on man! Brake lines don’t come off that easy if you live in the rust belt.
🤣👍🇺🇸
Would you still need to bleed all 4 calipers/wheel cylinders since you cracked the lines at the master cylinder? Wouldn't that introduce air between those lines and the proportioning valve?
That’s what I’m thinking too I’m really not sure about this method. But then again I have no mechanic, but everywhere else they are saying to bleed the brakes from the calipers. This method seems blunt and brash. Not worth it in this method to me for life saving brakes.
Great vids Scotty, really helpful
Do i need to suck out the old brake fluid if im changing the entire master cylinder?
ABS has been around for a long time. I wouldn't call it something you would only find on "new" cars
Steven Marsden some vehicles from the 90s didn't have ABS. I own one. So newer that's 20years old.
My old 2002 kia didn't have abs. Many lower end cars didn't come standard with abs for quite a while.
My 1998 Nissan 2WD has abs only on the rear wheels, only to stop you from oversteerings on hard braking
Yea been around for a long time, my 94 Cadillac Fleetwood has ABS brakes. I believe the higher-end Cadillacs had ABS since the 70s, some optional.
Scotty, when are you going to have a "Meet-Up". We would definitely go and love to hang with you for a bit!
Followed your directions here. There is one step that needs to be added when working on a 1998 Toyota Camry. Here it is: Before prying up the brake fluid reserve, be sure to unscrew it; there is one screw holding it on.
anyone notice the sr20 haha
Sargun Singh who cares, they suck
It's a KA24 not SR20.
Sargun Singh It's a KA24DE, not a SR
someone's blind.
Sargun Singh The S13 and S14 sold in the US were never sold with the SR20. Just the KA24.
Good tip for bleeding brakes by yourself
I just came here for the s14 with a kouki front end :$
Scotty! I did your trick when I changed my master cylinder and it worked very well! Thank you! 1980 Mercedes 450SL.
Now the booster is bad.... 6 months later. A good mechanic would have replaced the booster (since it is 38 years old!!!) 'while it was apart'. I knew about that, but was trying to save the expense. No big deal, I'll bleed the master just like last time, no sweat, thanks to your method!
So instead of bleading 4 wheels just do this on master cylinder ???
¿?
He bleeds and replaces the master cylinder so he can continue to REV UP YOUR ENGINE, squeal the tires and then slam on the brakes. It is a cyclical cycle.
Scotty do you have to bleed the brakes at each caliper when you replace the master cylinder? Or is just the master cylinder good?
he says no
The cylinder canister was never put on correctly (3:00). I hope that got fixed.
That would be dangerous.
Except you Redline to over 9000!
Matt Hsv at 25mph lol
3:31 Is Scotty missing a tooth on the top right?
honestly dont watch this channel for the tutorials , only for his personality
Mr. Kilmer...you dont have to test your brake while running the engine at more than 9000 rpm ( 3:23 )......you dare devil !
that screwdriver dude!!!
Scotty, U are genious!!!
Did you have to bench bleed the cylinder before putting it on?
What he is showing is the same equivalence to bench bleeding....not many people can afford or own a bench vice so this is another way to do it.
Hello, i have a Honda Civic 2007 Sports 2.0 F D
Last 3 weeks ago I checked the brakes by pushing the brakes with full force to see if they will work in an emergency. After 1 weeks of that passing, my brake paddle started to sink. When in slow speed, the brake paddle sinks And when on a highway on 100km/h speed, then at that time it feels like hardness in the brake paddle - then the brakes feel 60%% effective. And i have checked Master- cylinder, brake line, brake calliper, and there is no leakage signs anywhere. When i turn the car ignition off, pressed the brake paddle 3 times- the brake paddle when the full hard and I couldn’t press down any more. When i put my feet on break paddle, turned the car ignition on the break paddle sinked full. And my break pads have approximately 70% life. And the break rotors are perfect I even checked by break bleeding- no air came out of the system. I also refilled break fluid. When i start my cat in the morning and the weather is a bit cold, the car breaks become 60% effective. And when i drive 10km then the car brakes become 30% effective. And then i need to press the paddle hardly then the brakes work. There is also no check light coming in the dashboard. Please advise me what is the fault in the car and what i can do. Thanks
Hi i drive hilux sr 2004 and having brake problem. When i pump the brake several time the (!) light will turn on about sec then its off. Its not about brake liquid because its full already and i know how (!) light will turn on when brake liquid is decrease. So when i drive and hit brake my car stop but slowly. And if i pump several times until (!) light turn on and hit brake then the car wont stop and the pedals become hard. Mechanics here can't solved that problem. And yes its slowly sinking to the floor. When i pump several times the pedal got hard like the engine turn off then after long press to the pedal it sink again.
Peace, all the way from the BRONX. I love ya videos. Love me. MAn helping his fellow man.
Scotty you're a life saver! I had to pull my master cylinder because I accidentally poured some power steering in to the reservoir. I sucked it out right away but I also used this video to pull the master cylinder and flush it out with clean brake fluid. The instructions on reinstalling and purging air from the Master Cylinder worked like a charm!
...and we touch the inside of the customer's car with greasy\oily gloves because it's not mine.
nismoman420 I got my car seat and door handle covered in oil by an asshole mechanic
How to bleed at the master cylinder...great! Thanks.
I had never thought of using a screwdriver like that.
I had always bled brakes with somebody else to press the pedal.
Great show, Scotty! Thanks for the tip! :-)
I use an old adjustable length pole from window cleaner/painting ;)
Thanks Scotty, now I can stay still to REV UP MY ENGINE
You couldn't put it in Park to do that? Or Neutral?
replaced all 4 calipers 1 was ceased others bleeders where stripped and now have no brakes, installed a new master cylinder and bleed it, no brakes swapped the abs unit no brakes. car not started has a hard pedal car started pedal goes to the floor ??? any advice scotty
Hay. Scotty. I. Have. 203. Blazer. Front. Has. No. Fluid fluid. Come. Out. The. Back. .has. Some. What. Should. I. Do
could you do a video on how to change the brake booster?
Ok I’m having that exact same problem,I changed the master cylinder, I put the brake lines back in,but when I step on the brake,brake fluid leaks out the back of the line. Where the brake line screws back in to the master cylinder. HELP PLEASE ‼️ Do I need new brake lines??? “05 Dodge Grand Caravan 3.8l sxt.
It worked Scotty!! many thanks from scotland,i was just about to tow the car to the garage,watched your vid after replacing a whole brake line and wouldnt bleed,did exactly what you said with the missies pumping the pedal instead of that giant screwdriver lol,it instantly worked,cant thank you enough thankyou saved me at least 50 pounds about $80
I didn't save by calling Geico but I sure as hell have saved thousands listening to Scotty Kilmer.
Salute Sir!!
2003 4runner limited v8. I saw brake reservoir cap leaks. Checked every where but it only leaks from the cap. Brake pedal feel. Not hard but soft. Eveytime i press pedal, i hear pumping noise whuch means motor is trying to pressurizing the system. If cap is old. Do i replace it and will build up pressure again? Or i have master cylinder problem?
3:23 Damn I can't imagine how much hell that car is going through by now
Got a video on diagnosing/replacing the ABS module? I suspect this is the issue with my 03' Ford F150. The brake pedal loses pressure and goes to the floor, then gets pressure between stop lights, rince repeat. thankfully the brakes do work....but not as they should.
Hi scotty. I have a question about my brothers 2002 Ford Ranger Pickup truck. The brake pedal sinks "only" when turning to the right and applying the brakes coming to a stop. The truck feels like its on ice by giving out for a second. We brought the truck to ford and they couldn't find the problem. Ford installed new front rotors on the truck 1 month ago but, that didn't solve the problem. Would you have any ideas what the problem could be?
I'm glad it's able to stop considering it's running at 9k RPM @ 3:23....just kidding....great video
So you don't have to check the brake fluid level in the reservoir to make sure it is actually leaking?
NEED HELP! I drive a Lexus HS250H. my brakes were squeaking, so I checked the brake pads, and they were at the time to change, so I changed them, but it still squeaks, and grinds. Sometimes it does not squeak on the road, but after awhile on the road it ends up squeaking again. Brake pedal sometimes is good, but ends up sinking as well after awhile on the road. ANY ADVICE?
Hey Scotty love your shows. My wife Nissan Altima 2010 is having an issue starting the car. Brake pedal stiff you can only press down on the peddle an inch. It's a push to start car. Had AAA come out to give a jump couldn't turn over they said the battery was ok. Please help. Thanks Todd
Can master cylinder be at fault when handbrake isn’t strong enough?? The car is civic 05’ with discs on the rear. Brake pedal is slightly sinking. New handbrake cables, new discs, new brake pads.. adjustment Done by the book with adjusting procedure start when self adjusters are backed up, adjusting nut lossened and handbrake on 1 click... both rear calipers are also new..
Scotty. I have a '17 Hyundai sonata with 100k miles. Every now and then the brakes won't respond. I can press the pedal and it will stop halfway without much braking. This happens mostly in wet conditions and when I'm traveling over 70 mph
Yup exact problem with my car my break peddle sinks every time I drive my car and my abs light came on. Even though its not on currently which is odd because you would think it would stay on. But anyway i have a 1992 Mercedes benz so how much would a ABS replacement cost?
hi thanks for information, I'Ve problem with 1993 V6 -30 Pajero, had sticking in rear caliper brakes, my car stop moved, I just bleed off 10 mm bolts two rear side then my car can move, but after some hours the problem back again, all calipers rear and front caliper brakes parts clean, but the stick in caliper back again. do you thing the master pump is not good? thanks again.
@ 0:42 ~ "There's nothin' leakin' on *this* side"
Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe there's nothing on the outboard side of a caliper assembly *to* leak. (at least not on the one shown)
And.....since not all wheels are spoked/slotted, can you cite a scenario where there would be evidence of a leak on the outside *only*.... and therefore be missed by a "wheel on" visual inspection?
Didn't you say in a prior video to always use a new master cylinder instead of a used one? And shouldn't you at least bench bleed the master cylinder first? Plus, the master cylinder likely went bad because the old fluid ate up metal inside, if that was my car you had better bleed the calipers too. Hack job, lol.
Oh, and tighten up those lines, "nice and tight" MMMMMPHH - whoops stripped the threads!
I wanted to ask, on a 2002 Ram 1500, my brake pedal goes almost to the floor and once to the floor I it moves up & it wont stay at the floor. I have a fairly new brake booster & master cylinder and I have changed the brake pads and I have changed the rear disk as well. But everytime I want it to stop fairly quickly I have to pump the pedal twice. Why? And any suggestions?
You did me wrong Scotty, you never mention anything about the push rod adjustment????? I installed a new MC and installed it like you did, then i drove on the highway and my brakes almost cooked clean off. The push rod was engaging the MC all the way, after some research I had to use a Push Rod Adjustment tool to measure the Booster rod to the MC valve. I figure you knew that and just forgot to mention that in the video...
Hi need some help nisan qashqai brakes locking after about1/2 mile in town changed valve /booster (servo) pipes. now when i pull the pipe off Booster(servo) brakes unlock any ideas
My UK ford transit has a hard brake pedal, checked all the discs, pads, calipers and the vacuum and all seems well....any ideas.
Brake pedal really stiff and braking is poor but weirdly when revs are over 1500rpm and left foot braking the pedal operates normally.
hello, I'm facing a no rear pressure brake and I'm using the design with a non-proportional valve. for the front, an output from the master cylinder to a T that distribute left and right, and for the rear from the Master cylinder to hydraulic E brake than to the rear T. No leak nothing right connection etc.. and master cylinder is brand new. My system is disc to disc). I need help to solve this issue
and to have a rear strong pressure brake>. NB: front is working perfectly high pressure.
So my 2010 Mazda 3’s brakes sink, but there are no visible leaks, the brake fluid level is fine, and we have already replaced the master cylinder. The video says something about the abs possible being a problem. Can someone elaborate on that? Thanks in advance
I have this problem with a 2000 Audi A6. I believe there is a flooded rock quarry nearby where i can submerge the vehicle... you know, test for leaks and stuff you said, and forget the car ever existed in the first place. If I could ever meet the designer in private in an undisclosed location that would be just fantastic. I would be interested in going over some of his ideas with an aluminum bat or an old chainsaw.
Hi Scott I replaced both calipers front , and new rotors lines are not plugged. And the calipers are still sticking what could it be??? Thank you. 2007 suburban
I have a 2016 GMC Yukon XL replaced caliper Twice times do you think it’s manufacturing problem or something else I have a new pads and rotors all around once passenger side rear And driver rear too
i changed the brake oil from workshop, now pedal become soft, not hard like before, according to workshop, after driving 20-30km, it will become ok. Now, i want to know really this is possible or there is some other issue?
I believe that my master cylinder is bad. It’s not my brake lines because they’re bone dry. When I’m at a stop sign or stop light sitting there for about 15 seconds the pedal will go down randomly and the car will move a little bit. The brake light keeps coming on and the master cylinder is completely empty so I filled it back up but this time the brake light stayed on. Will replacing the master cylinder with a new one turn the brake light off along with fixing my issue? Thanks!
Scotty Kilmer what does the viewers say about the RPM ? Its.............. over 9000!!!!
Scotty. How can i decide if my brake booster is bad vs my master cylinder? I have a 92 s10 blazer all original major parts. Ive replaced all pads rotors drums and i was stopped at a red light and the pedal hit the floor. My abs light has been on since i bought the vehicle. Please help.
Scotty my Corolla 1991 is leaking a small amount of brake fluid from down side the master cylinder,i have check and find a 10 mm bolt located at down side the cylinder is leaking,the brake pedal is seems fine but the car can't stop as good as it supposed to be,please tell me how can i fix this easily without having any mess?
I ride around in my little festiva with the brake light on and the brake peddle sinks to the floor on occasion, I just pump it once and its fine. Keeps me awake when I drive .... thinking I have ne brakes at a split moment. I guess that would be the master cylinder. I will probably get around to fixing it when I get time.
Hey Scotty Kilmer, I have a sinking brake pedal, also if the master cylinder is bad can you get a hissing sound coming from around the brake pedal when applying brakes?
I changed my driver side caliper and now my brakes sink to the floor. Obviously all the brake fluid from that caliper was bled out. Surely my master cylinder doesn’t need replaced?
Ok having trouble with my 98 Chevy blazer 4x4 passenger side brake is sticking. I'm going to start from the beginning. last week on September 5th my brake booster was going out ( when I applied brake pedal half way it start to have a hissing sound ) so I had to replace the brake booster I drove with the old brake booster 15 to 20 mile from work to home. I bought a new one on the way home and replaced it. after I replaced it everything felt fine but now after I drive between 5 to 8 miles with minimum braking maybe 6 times total it gets hard and causes the passenger side to freeze. I had a warranty for the caliper so I replaced it thinking that was the problem . replacing it didn't help what so ever. I also replaced the brake hoses from line to caliper a month ago. Do you think I could I have bought a faulty brake booster. I forgot to mention that when it did it to me the other night I decide to do a little test. when I drove it and got it sticking I drove it back home and got it to where it would still stick while in drive and stay in one spot. I then pulled the vacuum hose from the brake booster and it released it. if I drive it with out the hose on it does fine other then the hard brake pedal feel. but it only sticks when the vacuum is connected and drive for little bit
hmm hey scotty im having a problem with my brakes atm where they work fine at any crusing speed liek 30 mph except when im about to stop (like im going 5 mph coming to a stop) in which case i have to put the pedal down to the point it cant go further down
any idea why? cars a 96 v6 mustang btw
fluid levels are fine btw
Hey Scotty I have a 2004 Grand Prix replaced master cylinder abs unit 4 calipers and every line due to rot bled brakes for days no pedal finally replaced brake booster got a little pedal but car don’t stop take 20 feet at 5 mph to come to complete stop heads the catch my brake booster twists in no bolting to firewall I’ve replaced it twice and rear seal still leaks any suggestions
My brake have to be press half way down before I can feel it react. I replaced master cylinder and use the original resvol , after all this done, I find out brake light stay on. When I unplug it from the resvol, it goes away. Did I do something wrong when I transfer the resvol over?
I have a 2002 chrysler town and country w/abs, the pedal would go to the floor so I replaced the master cylinder and bled the brakes. It was fine for a couple of days then the brakes went to the floor again so I bled them again and got some air then solid fluid, the brakes were great for a few more days and now it's back to going to the floor again. I can't find any leaks either. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.
You always solve my car problems. Thanks for your show.
+benjamin meza thanks👍
Scotty you should know better then to push the break pedal all the way down to the floor when bleeding breaks , you are taking a chance on damaging the new master cylinder . We call bleeding master cylinders that way the "mash method" , I use an old pedal depressor from my old Hunter alignment rack and it work very well . When bleeding the master on the car you should only push the pedal down about an inch to an inch and a half . Do your research Scotty and you find out using the "mash method" is a big no no .
I live in New England and my car is under a carport. What can to extended the life of a car that isn't "driven" enough - undercarriage, exhaust and engine block rusts? Is there such a thing as a crankcase desiccant? Do I really have to put a lot of millage on it going nowhere?
man i could use your help . i have a 2000 saturn sl2 i replaced everything on the breaks. lines, master ,calipers back cylinders everything but booster can not bleed it, not a abs i put 30 gallons of brak fluid threw it and still wont bleed i have vacuum of 18 to 20 lbs my check valve is operating my booster is holding pressure my master cyl i tested is hard when on car and line holes with plugs in them i have break peddle . i alsoi tested all the lines no pressure loss . i also tested the lines at the caliper still no pressure loss but so i have very little break and goes to floor when car is on and off no leeks no pressure loss , question could my power booster be faulty and still hold pressure i had it at 90 psi for 5 minutes and had no pressure loss , i need help i been bleeding them breaks for 3 years every summer
Just wondering if Scotty Kilmer watched OLDSKOOL FUNK channel then do this. It's exact!
Good morning I have a 2005 Chrysler 300 C hemi and I just got my rotors changed and all my brakes changed but now the other day I was driving and I had no brakes and the brake pedal went to the floor thank God no car was in front of me I had to pump the brakes and was able to stop a got home I checked the reservoir and there was no fluid I went to the store and bought more brake fluid poured it in and everything came straight to the ground can you help please
scotty you ,number 1, just slow down ,to many uh's ,uh's and git rid of that military stuff,nam was over long time back !!!!!
