    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.

    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%

    • @aaronthomas6155
      @aaronthomas6155 2 года назад +3

      @@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.

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.

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.

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.
