I like that you explain this slowly for dummies like me. Usually people talk way to fast I can’t even grasp what they’re saying . I appreciate the information!
This explains exactly what’s happening to my car after running very low on fuel (running on Vapor, lol) which probably kicked up crud from the bottom of the tank and blocked an already old filter. Thanks!
You are very good at explaining problems. There is no chance of misunderstanding you explanations with clarity. Im just looking for where my filter is to change the sucker, and hope it is not in the tank. Not as easy as the real cars pre injector
90% of drivers don't change fuel filters and PCV valves. There is part of full tune-up. Oil changes air filters cabin air filter, coils/boots, wireset, spark plugs, and fuel injection cleaners
@@SwampDonkey225 PCV =Positive Crankcase Ventilation. It is part of the system that recirculates gasses that get past the piston rings and into the crankcase and sends them back through the engine for combustion. It's the oldest form of engine pollution control.
And this is what I just went thru getting a tune-up. I assumed I was getting fuel and air filters, and a PCV Valve but no, they told me that was extra after charging me $800 for a tune-up. Another $80 for an air filter and nothing more. Then after that my car was still not running right. Code P2004 a second time. I found a bad vacuum line myself that was causing my car problems. Check your vacuum lines.
Thank you. This video was clear, concise, and so helpful. I have a 2012 Chevy Cruze LTZ and my check engine light just came on (P0171 code) and rough idling and start.

Opening statement of "Hope you guys are all having a good day" on a video regarding car diagnosis isn't the proper approach.. Haha, all jokes aside. Thanks for the video.
Yeah I defo have this issue with my audi. Time to replace the filter tomorrow, I pretty much have all the things that were included in the video except the last one. I was already suspecting the filter but this video made me 100% sure. Thanks!
@@joe83anania Car seems to be fine now. For me it was a simple filter change. 👍( changed all 6 spark plugs a week ago but those results came back empty handed )
@@OxC13 but when it does crank it never quits running or anything and it doesn't sputter or nothing so the problem is getting it to crank but if I turn it off it won't crank now the other day I got it cranked and rev the motor up and revved it alot and turn the key off and it crank three times in a row then I waited 30 minutes and it wouldn't crank. Lol
@@pauls3117 if filter is clogged pressure won’t keep up and cause bad injector spray pattern. Perhaps you need to change the filter in your brain too, it sounds a bit clogged.
I recently changed my fuel filter with a full service with my car. The car would have trouble starting from cold starts. took so many turn overs to get it going. Changed the fuel filter again recently to a bosh one and all seams to be fine. hope it was just a bad fuel filter causing the issue
My car always starts up without issue including yesterday then hesitated slightly for a split second when driving down the road. Got a few more miles down the road and it started to sputter/hesitate more before completely shutting off and haven't been able to get it to start. It cranks though.
Oh wow, I didn’t realize the filter could cause so many issues. I should have done that a while ago as soon as I started feeling trouble. I did my filter and fuel pump about 3 years ago, probably 50,000 miles. Now I’m broke down on the side of the road waiting for a new fuel pump. Guess I’ll do the filter while I’m at it.
Exactly what happened to my 07 F-150. Started throwing a lean code. Went to O'Reilly's and got a fuel filter and fuel line tool. $30 AND no more lean code. When the old filter came out, the engine side had clear gas in it went dumping it out. The gas tank side had gas at first, then a dark gritty syrup coming out. Half hour job.
I have the same truck and I changed the spark plugs,coils,fuel injectors. And I got the same problem. I’m going to change the fuel filter today. Hopefully that fixes it
@@bikelife4118 In addition I have to add, truck through another.lean code. I put in some injector cleaner in the gas tank then it went away again forever.
2010 jaguar xf 5.0 doesn't throw a MIL(check engine light) with this condition (at least with beginning symptoms) and you just "have to know" based on symptoms here, the symptoms are identical, i go from 0 to 60 in 4 seconds flat but if im at 50 and press down hard on the gas, 4 seconds pass before the shift happens. The car also rocks back and forth intermittently when idle, especially at startup. Sometimes you just have to "go for it" especially when its a cheaper fix like a fuel filter
This made a lot of sense. My ford foucs mileage is horrible. When i fill up the dash tells me its 400 km til empty but i drove it one day really heavy for deliveries, and its consumed 2 quarters of gas in a single day! Like WTF! i sync a trip A with how mucn till empty and i only got 110 kms.
@@tpswave3452 how old is your pump? Ive gone through that hill at this point. Are you doing the work yourself? If you have a shop or mechanic do it they might make you replace the filter a second time with the pump for the pump’s warranty requirements.
@@tpswave3452 there are ways to listen for the pump engaging or engaging incorrectly just have a trusted mechanic that is familiar with your make and model look at it
I've def been hvin the pressing the gas pedal rough symptom for mos with my chevy 2000 silverado thx for confirmation in that! Trying to find the vids on changing it some good vids and i lost 1 trying to refind it! Anywho thank you!
I just changed my fuel pump, figured it would fix my issue. It started up fine, pushed down on the gas lightly and it was perfect. I gave it some more gas to see how it reacted and it turned off. Im hoping this is my issue
I have all those issues I changed the fuel filter also did the thermostat and lost oil pressure last night I just changed the oil haven’t started it yet still letting oil settle than mine m checking oil level I know oil pressure loss might not come back but thought I’d try the basics before I play with sensors
Listen to you makes me think of the music video," beacause I got high"...I was gonna fix my outboard today..but then I got high, I was gonna change the gasfilter, but then I got high...dadadatatadadada.... 🙈🥳🥳
My 20-year-old Jeep grand Cherokee works great in the summer but now that it’s really cold I’m having a hard time starting it and I have my foot on the gas pedal very lightly for 20 minutes before I can put it into drive to drive away it seems like the gas is not giving the truck enough fuel
Change that fuel filter after 30 ,000 miles to be sure. If your fuel lines are close to the engines and its hot outside, sometimes the ethonal cooks in the fuel line and thats usually after it has set for 5 or 10 minutes. When you crank it up you really have to push the gas pedal to force out the air and get more fuel in.
What you omitted to explain is: do ALL these symptoms happen together or you can only experience ONE of those? I'm asking because I recently replaced pump, filter and accumulator and I experience ONLY the long start cranking and none of the other symptoms. after that the car runs great
Hi heat video can you help me my engine light comes on I have all symptoms u describe its a 2003 cooper n 84 thousand miles full service but why would the light on the smaller circle (!) yellow why wilould that come on? My car starts but u have to turn 2 to 3 times it just started misfiring I do tend to run it quite low on petrol I pumped my tyres up as that wat yellow light says in manueal I might need steering fluid as quite low could this be it? Thanx great clear video
Its possible. Do you have the engine light on? I would start there! If not, here is a video with the most common causes of a rough idle: ruclips.net/video/10H-GBPCU2g/видео.html&ab_channel=EasyAutoFix
I’m having trouble wit my car and it’s not showing me no codes at all but when I accelerate it will begin to hesitate to accelerate faster and sometimes I’ll press the gas and it won’t even go anywhere until I let go of the gas and press back on the gas it’ll drive
2013 Chevy traverse all of the above happens after spending 2000$ at the shop and it still happening I been asking around and someone told me it might be the fuel filter or fuel pump kuz it only really happens a lot after pumping gas so ima check tomorrow and give an update

When you crank it up you really have to push the gas pedal to force out the air and get more fuel in.
