See we all are leaning new mechanic skills for you , I am sure everyone that watches your videos will agree with me that you are the top mechanic on RUclips !!
DEAR SIR, YOUR DIAGNOSTICS THOUGHTS ARE THE BEST I HAVE SEEN ON RUclips. YOU ARE WELL ORGANIZED TO GET TO THE ISSUES AT HAND, YOUR FREEZE FRAMES DATA FOR BOTH CODES ARE SO HELPFUL AND PERFECTLY EXPLAINED TO SUPPORT THE ISSUE. YOU HAVE. FIXED THE MALFUNCTION IN A PROFESSIONAL MANNER FOR A LONG TIME. YOU ARE PERFECT ON BOTH GASOLINE AND DIESEL ENGINES. THANKS A MILLION. KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK.
Absolutely super Video sir. I really appreciate it. my trusty ACADIA had the same issue about 3 years ago .. and I had to dig hard to find that fitting & it's broken cap. Just yesterday (3 years later) My dash lit up again. The cap was gone! Because it was only 3 years old, I think is possible an engine back fire might blow it off so I'm putting a clamp on it this time. The traction control must utilize vacuum also because in both instances the traction light came on at the same time my Chk engine came on. I learned that fitting is present because Buick Enclave uses the same engine. Unlike Acadia, the Enclave controls the stiffness of the front engine mount in real time. The fitting you found is the vacuum source for that purpose. Thanks again for the great video!
Just found your channel, as diy mechanic your teaching and explanation are brilliant only Watch three of your videos so far, now know what am looking at on my scan tool ( not just guessing) thanks you from UK. Downside will cost of new tools😂 I will be buying
Brother, I learned a lot. I just bought a 2022 Mercedes sprinter which was converted to a dog grooming van. I actually graduated 3 years ago from Lincoln tech diesel program and only worked for 4 month doing diesel work. I will follow you videos to learn more. I also have a Autel scan tool.
Way to go~Nice fix...am subbed too! One simple and a good seal is what I do is take a vacuum hose-cut it off say an inch then find a ball bearing a little bigger and push in the hose. Best sealed cap for sure. I even use them on brake bleeder nipples..thanks and happy day for you
Thank you for posting a nice close-up view of all the codes and the total number of modules on each vehicle at the top of your prescan, this can come in handy sometimes as some other scan tools will give no clue when a module is totally down and not reporting any codes and no way to know if it is dead. Your mechanic stethoscope would have easily found that huge vacuum leak and no need for the smoke machine and all the time to hook that up and charge this extra time to the customer. Thanks for the case study. Would it be ok to include the year and engine size in the title of the video please?
An excellent video I followed it very well your videos is making it easier for me to diagnose my vehicles. Thank you sir. I’m watching from Chicago. 👍🏾
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair I noticed that after you did the vacuum leak repair and the fuel trims got better you reset the computer. Can miss firing cylinders and a lean condition like the one you fixed have an impact on the traction control system?
On the 07/08 Arcadia that's just an unused vacuum Port from the factory it just has a simple black plug put on it they get old dry rotted and fall off over the ownership years of my Acadia are replaced it over three times and yes it'll make the vehicle go lean And at idle it makes the motor shake like it has a misfire put a 25-cent plug on it and you're done.
Thanks for your video Deo Kitoko, I am learning a lot with them. I rebuild a Hyundai Genesis Coup but i am getting same codes it is difficult to find the intake leak without that smoke machine. But if there is no leak i believe the other cause can be fuel pressure. then i replace the fuel pump but not the fuel filter (big). It is my sons car and he removed the Catalyzers can this be another reason for same codes?
Hey cool smoke machine lmk where can I get one of those seems pretty cool with that bladder that blocks intake air hose seems very efficient way to work on codes 442 445 thx again 4 a good diagnostic keep 'em coming
you are a great auto mechanic, and I have trouble with our 2011 GMC Acadia-Danelli, I only wish you were near by- we would come to you for service- where are you located?
Hi Brother, found out your RUclips car diagnostic and fixing few months ago. Great work! How I wish your shop is around New York area. I have a 2006 Hyundai Elantra GLS sedan which the catalytic converter was stolen. Bought a new one from a local automatic store get it welded back. A P0420 code appeared. After 100 miles of driving, check engine light goes off. After about 60 to 80 miles of driving, P0420 and P0650 appeared. Went for a gas refill, the gas pump keeps stopping filling up gas. Change a new gas cap, P0455 appeared. No more P0420! After driving another 100 miles, P0455 and P0420 appears again, may I ask what's the probable problems!
Had all 4 wheels speed sensors replaced now I am experiencing a vacuum leak somewhere or my maf system is not working right or the 02 sensor I don't know which
Hi good day to you ☺️ I'm your followers in youtube. I have my problem on my vw 2013 tiguan DRL U-shaped is flickering whe I accelerate can you give me some tips and advice to find out thanks 😊
Hi my friend I have 2008 GMC Acadia I live in Mexico I have not found a good mechanic in the area the vehicle has check engine light on and when I'm running on the road to vehicle reduces power and it starts throwing black smoke, I already changed the valves pcv, throttle accelerated, clean the injectors and it ran good for a couple days but now we're back to the same situation any ideas or tips you can give me I would really appreciate it and I'm doing some work on the vehicle one of the codes I've been getting is the P1175. Thank you Lord bless you
bernardo aguilar this code sets when your fuel trims are not balanced, make sure your injectors are good! to a flow test on them! also check your MAP sensor and MAF sensor
I went to take my 2015 gmc si era 5.3 4whl drive to get my emisión test an it fail so they told me to a drive cycle about 100miles.my ? Is if I have a code po700 will that interfiere with my drive cycle not let my monitors to read to inc to ok
@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair yes I just changed the computer I kept getting the check engine light a cost of more then $2000. Worst part is that light keeps going on when it’s to cold out. So strange.
Hey bro , it’s Tom Mack and RUclips should give you a award for being the best mechanic on RUclips you deserve it 100%
