As a software developer, I really appreciate the way Scotty chases down mechanical errors like finding bugs in code. This man is not a mechanic, he's an engineer.
Engineers design and implement, mechanics troubleshoot and repair. And you've got it backwards - Software engineers chase down bugs in code like tradesmen chase down problems in mechanical systems.

Always good advice. He reminds me of the owner of a local auto repair shop when I was a kid. Many of the local teen boys would hang around the shop and he would talk through every job he did. Telling us not only what he was doing but why he did it. The boys (including me) would clean the shop, fetch tools and other menial tasks just in order to learn from him. He didn't allow any free-loaders, everyone did something. Much of the learning was also by doing. He allowed some of us to do a job that was always checked by him to ensure it was correct. This was well before de-segregation but there were always non-white teens there, also. He treated everyone the same and with respect. He always addressed each of us by our names or "young man". His was just a two-man shop but a majority of the town folks brought their cars to him. His prices were fair and his work trusted. That was something else he taught us. Treat everyone fairly, deal honestly and keep your word were taught by his actions toward us and his customers. About twenty-five years ago he passed away, well into his 80's. At his funeral, I saw many of the boys (now men) that had frequented his shop to learn not only mechanics but what it meant to be a man. I miss him.
great story to honor such a great man.
@@linq7584 At 73 yrs. old, this story reminds me of a similar story. Thanks.
The way it should be done
Awesome story Zephaniah, and one everyone should take to heart. He passed on his knowledge through your minds, and it was spread (and grew) through all of you...so his tree of knowledge (and honour and codes) lives on ...thats a better legacy than most.
THIS IS WHAT MEN ARE/WERE MADE OF. Shepherded a generation of next gen Men. These men are needed and need to be celebrated. Only wish women did the same with these ladies 🤦♂️🥹
Could you imagine a world where all mechanics were this perfect?
Scotty is not perfect
I've never had a mechanic go that far into seriously trying to find out what's wrong with my car
He makes cars start with a bang on the hood. He clears clogged converters blowing through a sensor port. He is.... the most interesting mechanic in the world
Stay mechanically inclined my friends.
100000% my favourite RUclipsr. Even my boyfriend loves him
BRILLIANT!
So in other words, The Fonz
@@jamesredman1263 Kinda like a mix of the Fonz and Chuck Norris.

Nationwide? Hell dude, it's hard enough finding one!
Not a bad idea... 😅
I don't know why RUclips recommended this video to me (I haven't watched any car videos and don't know much about vehicle mechanics), but I'm glad it did. I watched from start to end and enjoyed every moment. This man is gold!
The algorithm knows you like being rode hard and put away wet 😅
Much appreciated
0:10 Differences in cleaners do to differences in 2 or 4 stroke engines and more/different addetives in the gasolin (more addetives more corrosion).
2:50 example | Car accelerates slugish dealers cant fix it
3:10 check the power supplie | batterie & alternator
3:41 general overwiev | check airfilter, all hoses and lines conectet properly, any big pudels of fuel and oil
4:00 check spark plugs | soot on it, "normal" color, messure gap (feeler gages)
3:34 plug in scan tool | check failed modules / error code -> dose it makes sense, could it be the problem?
5:25 checking problem-related measured values | to much MAF (Mass-Air-Flow) -> clogged catalyst?
6:05 checking catalytic converter | messuring persure at an oxigen socet, not needed for the test can be unscrewd (PUT BACK IN AFTER TEST!)
7:45 try different scan tool | long term fuel trim runs fuel rich (~5%); MAF looks good, but we aint trust nothin'
9:16 check air fuel sensor | Sensor 2 first bank looks "lazy" and displays values delayed.
9:54 checking fuel system | long term fuil trim is adding fuel, why? -> sensor says it needs more fuel, why? -> engine running slightly lean, why? -> fuel injectors old and dirty?
10:10 clean fuel injectors | long turn fuel trim back down to 0.8% from ~5%
I dont eaven own a car but I just finished my State-certified technician for mechanical engineering and you made a very interesting and good educational video!
I dont care what machine it is, I love them all :D
greetings from germany
Super! Ich danke dir. Gibt es auf dem deutschen Markt etwas vergleichbares?
When you watch a mechanic video that has zero to do with a personal project, but is so entertaining that you watch it anyway, you know it’s legit and amazing. This dude knows his stuff, hands down.
Right, I didnt need this video. but i watched it. and i learned more than i do from all the other videos i watch. lol
Completely agree. I was looking to antique a plastic mirror and came across this. Watched the whole thing. Now I"m subscribed :) lol

Scotty should start a national training school for the perfect mechanic
This guy reminds me of my dad so much. He was a master tech and thought EXACTLY like Scotty and could fix anything. I love it when I see people that just own their craft, and they just ooze knowledge about their field so effortlessly.
Scotty reminds me of my dad too. He was a heavy duty mechanic.
Its always nice to see someone from a generation before mine that understands technology. If my mum doesn't understand a word like "download" or "refresh" its almost like she panics and then pretends she has no interest rather than taking the minute to have it explained
I know what you mean
It's unlikely, but you should consider testing her for dementia if she can't learn new things and avoids doing so
OH MY GOD THIS

You truly understand something when you can explain the issue is ways that beginners can understand it. It is what happens here and I truly respect that.

@@stratisskouloudis6867 clearly more superior than you being that ur watching his videos smart guy.
Newsflash…Scotty tipped me to that Purple Power in another video. $20/can. Anyway I used it and my truck ran like new again. Great stuff.
So moral of the story is, if your cars gas mileage, power and performance is diminished, first run the proper fuel cleaner through it first, before digging deeper. It might be just that simple.

Im not a car mechanic but I am a troubleshooter. You have done an excellent job moving through the logic, making no assumptions. Excellent work sir!
Sorry but he did make 2 assumptions. First, he assumed that the seafoam doesn't work simply because it's an old product and didn't test it. Also, he didn't explain why seafrom doesn't work with 4 strokes and assumed we would know.
I have a troubleshoot in my car wish you could help me this 👍👍
@@bigballz4u the first part of the video explains why lol
@@GE3Music He just said that it doesn't work with gas that contains ethanol and engines with GDI. He didn't test it, as far as we know he's just assuming it doesn't work because it doesn't have the correct additives.
@@GE3Music He explains why? He must have been holding an older can of SeaFoam..... SeaFoam has been reformulated numerous times over the years and is advertised as working with ethanol and non-ethanol blended fuels and has been for several years now. Also, the fuel trims for that Toyota Corolla were just fine. Short Term fuel trims are immediate adaptations whereas Long Term fuel trims are, as implied, long term adaptations. His assumption about the mass airflow sensor reading is wrong as well. Being a 1.8ltr engine has little to do with the mass airflow reading. A reading of 2.34 at idle for a 1.8ltr engine is well within spec and is actually normal. A common cause of poor acceleration on those older Corollas is failing injectors and vacuum leaks, 2 things that mileage has no impact on.
I love how you’ve gone through every single checkpoint other than the carbon. At the very end you explain how cleaning it provides more power and I love that
I think this is one of your best videos so far. I like how you describe the trouble-shooting process step-by-step. Well done, Scotty!

To go to Scotty’s University…yah gotta watch and comprehend all of his RUclips videos….probably a Really good adventure and learning experience!!
Problem is some old people who have "been doing it for 50 years" give awful advice and lean on their "experience". Like the guy at AutoZone who got mad at me for telling him I thought it was an incredibly questionable suggestion to run 20w-50 oil in a Honda 4 cylinder. Of course I was right, 20w-50 would be absurd, but he swore he'd been doing it for decades.
@@CIARUNSITE yea you definitely gotta be cautious usually a sign is them still being that said trade to keep up with the times… I remember one auto parts dude telling dextos shouldn’t go in Honda’s… I made the most confused face , like tf are you even saying my guy.
(Says in manual to ONLY use oil with dextos)
This guy reminds me of my dad so much. My dad is a painter that always tells me the construction site was his school and university . Person like this always talk like they fell in love with their craft and work and it’s so refreshing. You don’t meet many people like him or my dad now in days.
People say I am eccentric... But Scotty's eccentricity is on a level I aspire to eventually reach.
I just watched this whole thing for no reason, and now I love this guy.
Same lol

Love him!!!
I've watched a lot of hos videos. Great content, great personality.
Same here!

Looks like he randomly record stuff without any logical sense then he create the script with the pieces he got.
@@maxakabeast We producers call this .”B roll”.
Although, there is logical sense to it. There is also stuff available online called “stock footage” etc.
I like how Scotty keeps things simple and relatable. He and his team do a great job.
Doesn't his son do the editing? At least what I remember him saying years ago
Reminds me of my father in-law! Made in a better generation because they just knew stuff, knew how to get stuff done !
Great job Mr. Scotty!
I used to watch scotty way back 15 years ago when I was in college and was driving an old piece of garbage Nissan Altima - the only car that I could afford at the time. It was a constant head ache with issue after issue but Scotty got me through fixing that piece of garbage for 4 long years. The first thing I did after getting a well paying engineering job was to buy a new car with facotry insurance and now I have a company car so I don't need to care about it. I just leave it at the dealership if I have any issues. Anyway - it was a nice little flashback from a decade ago when Scotty showed up in my feed again. God bless this man. All this knowledge completely for free.
He knows far too much about cars to just be a mechanic, I'm glad he has almost five million subscribers cause he deserves every one of them
Almost? He's at 5.25 million. Dummy
True. New subscriber here.
I wish Scotty had a mechanic school. I would travel and move state to study his class!
In his younger years there were grocery stores. Now there’s grocery chains. Blue collar workers are doomed. But I would kill for a chain of auto repair shops under Scotty’s management. As suggested above in the comments.
Mechanic's stool, when plumber's crack isn't enough.
Don't expect to change heads, gearboxes or anything substantial.
He does. Its an online course
I'd move country to learn!
This guy has taught me so much, hes definitely slowing down tho, non the less. Hes a car hero
I love people who have the level of knowledge like this guy.
This was one of the best videos I’ve ever seen on this channel! Instead of just jumping out and saying that a fuel additive will ‘most likely’ help this car - Scotty carried us through an entire diagnostic process that was as logical as it was well-edited. Great job!
Now that you mention it, the editing was clean, to the point, and well placed.
This man here deserves some sort of award or at least recognition for what he does. He helps people repair their cars and doesn't try to charge you for it. He has helped me work on my cars and avoid going to the mechanic. I'm sure there are many people that have benefited from his videos as well.
Bg44 k platinum excellent product for cleaning carbon deposits and better gas mileage
I'm sure he's getting compensated well from RUclips by the looks of his subscribers and such.
@@piedadstoffel5955 44k is great but quite expensive. Try the Lucas Ethanol conditioner with green label instead. 1/4 the cost, exact same cleaning and clog clearing ability. Diagnoses any fuel system fault by immediately increasing performance and lost power. Yet the problem is people think this fixed the problem. No it merely diagnosed the real problem. Ethanol breaks down and contaminates the entire fuel system. The only way to truly restore a faulty engine without codes is to completely manually clean the entire fuel system and replace injectors. Thus why they're so cheap these days. Supply is high because they really aren't suppose to last more than 100k these days. So... There's still a ton of info this guy is not sharing.
I mean he has a golden play button and gets paid enough from youtube to make a living doing videos.
He makes millions from video views my dude
07 Corolla is a great car!
My one friend bought one with 200k on it, drove it till 285k when it ended up with a bent frame from an accident.

When he finally lost 1st and second gear on the 5 speed transmission;
I put the motor in my 03 matrix and still daily drive it.

The problem is that cars are getting so high tech that many probably forget to do just the basic things first, they run straight to the computer. When I took small engines class in highschool, the first thing our teacher taught us was "if the engine isn't running, does it have fuel?". Then proceeded down the list of things like air, spark, etc. I know cars aren't "small engines", but a lot of the same rules apply.
Yeah and there are few old school mechanics left who actually repair stuff. Most just unbolt whole assemblies and fit new…if that don’t fix it, do another one…cos afterall it’s only customer money and the more you fit the more money you make right.
@@cujoedaman First thing I check if a car won't start is usually battery, battery connections, and alternator. You don't know how many times I've seen people be: "oh my car won't start!", and the problem be able to be solved by simply cleaning the battery posts and or connections. This is usually the first thing mechanics are taught to check. The second is what you're saying, which is checking there is fuel, and it's getting to the engine, and then spark, air, and so on. These are the basics that I even see so called mechanics forget to check in the proper order far too often. Edit: Notice the first thing Scotty went for was the battery in this video, which is always the right call, even when it's not the problem, at least you have determined that is not the problem.
Bg44 k platinum excellent product for cleaning carbon deposits and better gas mileage
So glad I am not to old to learn and you (Scotty) are willing to teach!!!! Thanks.
I don't know anything about cars and I've never seen this guy before but I now trust him with my life.
Scotty’s Next Door Neighbor: “There he goes, talking to himself again!”
OMG 🤣🤣🤣
He's a mad scientist
Seafoam is the best stuff on the market. I work in the auto parts business for 32 years and I recommended it highly.
I drive a company vehicle. I added two bottles of STP Gas Treatment to a full tank of gas. The improvement was noticeable!
One of the few youtube channels that captures my attention, and I watch right to the end...and I don't even work on cars.
I love seeing nostalgic Houston scotty videos! We miss ya in texas! Good evening scotty!!
evening!
@@scottykilmer , yeah, we miss you. My next door neighbor moved to Tennessee because he was on a pension and could not afford the property tax. These worthless legislators are getting the property tax recipients rich! It is difficult for them to spend all the money.
Where in Tennessee are you!!!!! @scotty Kilmer
Enjoying the better weather in Clarksville, Tennessee?
1:43 Scotty gave all the people that said he's "FULL OF CRAP", a 1 finger salute! Really Slick Scotty, I love it!!! 😲
😉😂
Yes they do ! I use Techron and it has same cleaning additive as Gumout. It is the strongest one on market.
I use a fuel system cleaner in my ole 98 on every fill up!! I also ise marvel mystery oil at every oil change! Keep her running smooth! 1998 with 180,000 miles and it runs better than some new vehicles now a days
Which brand do you use for fuel system cleaner ?
Scotty is like that talkative neighbor that you would just want to chat with over your favorite beverage of choice. You could let him do all the talking and just enjoy the ride!! :)
He would ruin the mood because it sounds like his yelling.
I am so glad he is not my neighbor! Yada yada yada yada 🤣
I can’t imagine being his neighbor and seeing him outside filming and waving his hands around. 🤟🙃
I would photobomb everytime like a wheres waldo.
He might give a neighborhood discount and save a neighbor thousand$$ on maintenance and repairs.

Scotty...You are the BEST...Ever! When I'm dealing with a car issue, I have to ask myself WWSD? Then I'm looking to see if you've covered the issue. Thanks a TON!
This has been one of the most helpful channels I've come across thank you for your knowledge
I always run Chevron gas in my Grand Marquis. It's got science and wizards in it
You forgot the unicorns 🦄
yup wizards know what they r doing... lol
I have that sticker on my truck. 12 valve Cummins
Scotty's the man💯💯 he's like a mad scientist when he pulls out the scanners and his hands get going🤣🤣🤣.... problems get solved💥.....keep doing your thing scotty
😁😁🤣😘
Personally I watch a lot of Scotty and also Vice grip garage. Scotty talks with his elbows flopping around and the enthusiasm shows through. He is just not talking with his hands. The Vice grip garage guy has some funny hand gestures when he is explains things. They both amuse me to know end.
Great product bg44 k platinum
Great explanation of his testing methodology and examples. Got right down to the why and how and easy remedy. I like his style.
LOVE YOUR AUTO COMIC VIDEOS SCOTTY.
YOU MAKE IT UNDERSTANDABLE, EASY, AND FUNNY 😂
Spent the last two months trying to figure out why the wife's 15' Corolla was having issues like this. Just cleaned the fuel injectors yesterday.... AND NOW SCOTTY TELLS ME! 😂
Did you use the royal purple or the gum out
Watching Scotty as I got older , I’m so glad I knew what this was before he said it . He taught me that . Awesome job Scotty 💪🏽 best mechanic I’ve ever watched
It works . this guy is very educated and a top tier expert mechanic. His videos are very helpful and his word is scripture.
It's been many years since YT offered a Scotty video.
The knowledge and the vibe of “slightly-unhinged but still brilliant scientist” makes Scotty’s videos so darn awesome!
Scotty has been the greatest teacher I’ve ever had
This guy is awesome! he's a joy to watch and his personality works to keep my attention.
You are doing the lords work Scotty, thank you! Long time listener, first time caller
Nice to see actual diagnostic ptocedure being followed, with checks that say, "so it's not ...." gives a real idea of how to diagnose logically, not just jump to a conclusion without knowing how you get to there. Thank you Scotty.
I love watching Scotty. I trust him completely and he is so dad-gum smart. I keep waiting for him to take flight as he waves his arms with every remark!
Except when he was saying over and over that electric vehicles would never be popular and then later said the only electric vehicles that would become successful would be hydrogen cell ones because the charging station network won't be big enough
While watching this Video I was like he reminds me of a baby, a newborn with his arms flailing.😃😃😃
I run Shell Vpower 91 octane in my 2014 Jetta SE 1.8L turbo. Runs like a champ!!!
I've never seen such level-headed to-the-point delivery with this undercurrent of chaos. This man should be blasting fireballs out his fingers but he's fixing cars
I appreciate how Scotty clips out the boring part where he turns a wrench for ten minutes before he starts with the pertinent part. That's excellent showmanship, Mr. Kilmer.
We need more mechanics like Scotty, instead of ones who just replace parts until they hopefully find the defective part. LOL
Yep and now most of those new parts are defective before they even got thrown at the car.
With all of the electronics, it makes people parts changers, not technicians. I have seen it first hand as a HVAC tech.
So what’s the best fuel injector cleaner to use!?
We still waiting scotty😂
