Scotty Kilmer Hey how are you I have ford explore 1998 lot miles on but when I starts sound like want turn off by self and when I m drive turn off by self
Scotty Kilmer I have a 97 camry think I have 2 problems 1 my efi fuse keeps blowing it's a 15 amp fuse how do I find out the prob with that..... also my odometer is digital and my miles is blank and radio won't turn on along with turn single please email me zacharybrianblizzard@gmail.com
hey scotty my name is Anita i have a 94 lincoln town car and it want start. i replace my fuel pump, filter, and my fuel pressure regulator. i'm not getting the car to start is turns over but that it
I am mechanic from, the Philippines, I study my computer equipped engine, the basic electrical and electronic function of sensors,I don't have an scanner, but because of this channel, it's really helps me a lot.God bless sir.Scotty.
Just because it's a Toyota dont mean it wont have problems. Picked up someone on the side of the road. Transmission went in his Corolla with 130k. I drive a cvt Altima with 183k. Go figure...
I think the reason why Scotty Kilmer is so smart and upbeat is that he does his work OUTSIDE and not under blue light. Getting some sun is a GOOD IDEA!!!
I love that little smile he does just after yelling ‘rev up your engines’. It’s so wholesome and he loves what he does. Nothing but good luck and good fortune to this man.
Great video. Scotty always has good stuff, and fun to watch too! He did forget to mention one of the oldest test in the book. The pop bottle test. Works good if you don’t have a fuel pressure gauge or access to the Schrader valve. Disconnect power to coils/spark plugs. Disconnect fuel line, use a piece of hose to direct it into a pop bottle. Crank it over for a few seconds. Should get about 4-8 oz of fuel. Works best on older mechanical style fuel pumps, but can give you an idea on electronic fuel pumps.
Seems like half the time older models like the 60's all the way up to 80's and early 90's of vehicles are reliable, cheap, and more simple. Now you have these complicated monsters.
I still have my 1996 Toyota Corolla which can develope issues that are not that difficult to get to to fix however it runs my main vehicle is a 2004 isuzu ascender which I'll admit I see the check engine on a bit more frequent
Thanks, but I’ll stick to my ‘01 Toyota Camry LE with 311,420 miles that runs like a Swiss clock, with original engine and automatic transmission and everything works!! Blows cold AC when I need it and heat when I need it. I repainted it, and tinted the windows and looks brand new. Inside is in excellent condition, has power everything including a manufacture sunroof!! I Do most of the maintenance myself and the complex stuff I take to a trusted mechanic. I’ve had it for the past 12 years and plan on keeping it another 12.
I still consider buying early 80s cars. Firstly they're reliable, secondly they're pretty easy to find, a lot of people who bought them brand new and kept maintaining them are getting too old to drive so they decide to sell them. That's how I ended up with a Yugo....yes, a Yugo, and I had no problems with it for 4 years. Did I mention it's a Yugo?
Got a 2003 with 173,000 miles everything mechanical is still working. All I have done is replaced a starter, rear passenger brake caliper, did the work myself and I’ve owned this bad boy for 5yrs now.
Imagine if Scotty became a car designer, I'd love to see his ideas on how they should be designed by a master mechanic who can sort through all the insane design flaws that are all too common! It would be Amazing!
My father taught me to retorque the head bolts on my cars every 75,000 miles. No one seems to mention this, why? I have never experienced a head gasket failure. 91 sidekick 184000,2006 4.7 dodge ram 155000,2010 kia 2.0 110000. You are the best.!
GREAT info delivery with humour and no nonsense. I'm so grateful he has provided so much help and advice for every day people to get the job done properly! Many thanks Scott. Please keep the burnouts going!
Many times a defective in-tank fuel pump can be replaced without removing it, by adding an external fuel pump. They are cheap and easy to install. If it can suck fuel through the dead pump, it will work.
More of a problem these days with all the detergents and junk that gets put in fuel. Once that stuff has accumulated anything in the tank the pump will suck that up and get ruined if you drive with low fuel

Party on Scotty! Your videos are so informative and to the point. Got my fuel pump issues figured out with your instructions - Turned out to be a bad fuel pump. I was able to replace it by removing the back seat and the FP access panel, unlike the Jaguar “(
As painful as it sounds a full tank is safer than an empty-ish tank because it has less fuel vapor (the stuff that goes boom). I also use brass tools when removing the pump to avoid sparks.
If the tank is under the back seat make a access hole to remove the pump .on my grandam .i made a access and used a grand prix fuel pump no more gas tank remover
You are my goto guy, I had hard starting with 3.4l chevy and by your vids I came up with replacing the MAP sensor for $85 because simptoms matched the best. But still had to hold pedal down an inch to get started hot or cold with rich gas fumes/smoke when it finally started out the exaust pipe. So botom line it wasnt the problem, however evey othe car guy had a vid on the Fuel Pressure Regulator that matched my problem exact as when you removed the vacuum line to the Fuel Pressure Regulator gas would sputter out where the vacuume line was, mine sputterd the gas too, problem solved for the additional cost of $52 for the new Fuel Pressure Regulator. Please do a vid on this problem. Thank you for your videos, keep up the good work.
A $250 fix. The 2010 Hyundai Sonata running good again. Wish I knew more about car mechanics. Thank you Scotty Kilmer. My 2002 Dodge Neon Sxt is still running good.
Hi there sir, My 2008 350z is causing transmission to stall and cut out at 3K-4K RPM. Does this mean I need to replace my fuel pump or do I have a bad transmission? My 350z only has 83K miles.
Im a motorbike mechanic so i have no clue when it comes to car issuea.. as soon as i have any issues and see your listed first i feel safe cuz your vids are spot on😂
+PuppetMaster Lol you have it made my man! For one, your water pump was due for replacement anyway (at 90k miles actually). And if it was previously replaced, I'd be willing to bet it wasn't replaced with an OEM pump. Second, it sounds like either you need to grease your hood a little bit. Did you have an accident? Many times an accident will warp the metal around the hood and trunk, making it difficult to open or close (even tiny fender benders). All the Celica owners I've known don't have issues with their trunk (including my mom and aunt back in the 90s). I've had to work on many of my family member's cars, and no surprise Toyota is definetely superior in the eyes of many based on first hand experience. And don't assume that the number of recalls is a clear indication of bad quality. American car brands don't issue recalls for many of their vehicles because they have to pay to fix it. Taking responsibility is better than laughing all the way to the bank as your customer is having their fairly brand new car in the shop getting fixed at their own expense.
You are hilarious and you remind me of my Mechanic. Guys like you generate so much an interest in me to know all can know about cars, because it is a wonderful mind tool to have, and you guys make it look rather simple compared to what the dealer tries to scam all of us for........$961 for a Valve Cover Gasket replacement.......HA yeah right...goodluck Nissan.

The Volkswagen Touareg v10 Diesel is even worse. In order to replace the alternator you have to fully drop the front subframe. Yep, the motor,transmission, and subframe have to be removed to replace it. That touareg is not a car you want to own outside of warranty
Scotty klimer !!! I have changed power steering rack of toyota gli .. bt still when i turn steeing rapidly back and forth it produce some sort of clunk
Scotty love all your videos this video saved me a lot of money on knowing to replace the fuel pump on my 93 caprice classic ls, thing runs like a dream again, been watching for years keep up the honest work. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
Hey Scotty I have a 2001 chrysler sebring That starts but doesnt stay on theonly way it stays alive is if i keep pressing the gas as soon as let go of the gas pedal my engine stops running could this be my fuel pump ? checked vacuum and no leaks so i replaced the alternator and the spark plugs but still nothing lol is there anything else i can try ?
+Ryan Toomey Thats because the motor in the fuel pump uses the fuel as lubrication. When you are running on empty the motor has no lubrication and burns up.
believe it or not the gas keeps the pump cool they get hot and burn up if you run them low on gas people think I'm crazy when I tell them but that's how they are
Scotty I bought a used Audi one time. NEVER AGAIN will I buy a used luxury car. I thought I got a 'great deal' but now I see why used cars have such low resale values.
+Yewon2001 Your problem is not that you bought used, but that you bought a used Audi. Audis are hit and miss for reliability, it really depends on how well they are kept up. Evidently, you got a Miss. Not only that, Audis are ridiculously expensive to maintain. When buying used, always stick to GM or Toyota if you can.
In an emergency you can also use an implement to push on the valve stem of the pressure port to see if there's pressure but beware it can also squirt fuel out at high pressures too. But it can tell you if there's no pressure.
Jaguar is one of the biggest POS cars you can own....A relative of mine use to own one and only had it for a year before he sold it. The oil changes alone cost around $95-100! And I should mention he is a doctor making plenty of $ so cost wise it wasn't even a problem for him. He just didn't want to keep paying rip off prices for anything that needed fixing/changing on the car.
5 Quarts of Synthetic oil (Mobil 1) at Wal-Mart - $25. This is the recommended oil for Porsche, Mercedes, and BMW, so it's good enough for an old Jaguar. A Purolator oil filter is $3.50 at Wal-Mart as well, so for less than 30 dollars you can go to Wal-Mart and change the oil in a Jaguar. There is zero reason you should pay the dealership to do this oil change. A jiffy lube charges 20-30 bucks as well. I'm pretty sure that saying your relative makes poor decisions on where to spend his money doesn't make a Jaguar a POS.
He was a doctor... not a car mechanic. He didn't know much about cars and would never change his own oil. So yeah maybe he did make a poor choice buying a Jag but overall he told me the car wasn't anything special.
complex2034 Again no reason why you should go spend $100+ to change the oil at the dealership especially for a Golf... that ain't no exotic car. It's a fun car to drive but you shouldn't rip yourself off at the dealership.

Quick question, Po, was that the Philippines in the last few shots of the video? Looked like it!
Who wouldn't want a mechanic like Scotty. All mine have been thieves.
I fill your pain... got screwed off $400

lol, "the idiots that designed this car..." good ol' scotty kilmer
Hes not blunt, he's just dead honest.
They designed it that wsy to discourage diy guys.
I think the reason why Scotty Kilmer is so smart and upbeat is that he does his work OUTSIDE and not under blue light. Getting some sun is a GOOD IDEA!!!
Did your oncologist suggest that?
I love that little smile he does just after yelling ‘rev up your engines’. It’s so wholesome and he loves what he does. Nothing but good luck and good fortune to this man.
Scotty, you're a hoot. I laughed for a long time at the "idiots" line. Classic stuff. Don't ever change, brother.
These videos are a blessing. I'm making minimum wage so I cant afford mechanic fees. On the bright side I've gotten pretty good at repairs.
can't believe so many dislikes for free advice.... jaguar owners be hatin lol
That's from Jag lovers.If you can't afford to have a car fixed don't buy a fancy piece of crap.that's my tip for the new yr.
Edward Perez sometimes it's not just about having money to fix a car, but the feeling you get after you fix something on your own.

I want to see a video on a fuel pump replacement on a 2002 Sequoia Toyota
Harminnie Mendez its under the back seat..very easy
if he disses any luxury car brands( especially mercedes) it will have many dislikes lol
I wonder if Jaguar has ever seen this??
You rock Scotty!
Jaguar knows they're dumb. They don't care, this is what makes it so only rich people own them. Jaguar's rollin in the dough.
I'm gonna show this to my wife when she gets home. This was worth the watch, just to see you go Scotty. You are funny and love your energy.
Great video. Scotty always has good stuff, and fun to watch too!
He did forget to mention one of the oldest test in the book. The pop bottle test. Works good if you don’t have a fuel pressure gauge or access to the Schrader valve.
Disconnect power to coils/spark plugs. Disconnect fuel line, use a piece of hose to direct it into a pop bottle. Crank it over for a few seconds. Should get about 4-8 oz of fuel. Works best on older mechanical style fuel pumps, but can give you an idea on electronic fuel pumps.
Seems like half the time older models like the 60's all the way up to 80's and early 90's of vehicles are reliable, cheap, and more simple. Now you have these complicated monsters.
The old ones weren't necessarily all that much more reliable, if at all. Usually it's just older people remembering the good times.
Old is gold ✌️
I agree
I still have my 1996 Toyota Corolla which can develope issues that are not that difficult to get to to fix
however it runs
my main vehicle is a 2004 isuzu ascender
which I'll admit I see the check engine on a bit more frequent
I got an '88 Nissan and I'm 28, so it wouldn't be me remembering the good times. She has her issues but she's a reliable workhorse.

Can't beat the older Toyota's, don't think new one's will last like that.
I still consider buying early 80s cars.

Running car when there is gas in low reserve is the major cause of fuel pump dead

0:49 One correction Scotty, a fuse CAN be blown even if the metal looks continuous. The best practice is to always check them with multimeter.
I'm shocked a "professional" wouldn't use a test light to check that fuse.
@Wolfenstein I’ve been watching Scotty’s videos for the past 2 years, I’ve seen in that time he does use a multimeter to check fuses.
Yup 💯

Scotty, you are the best Auto friend I have. Love you.
step 1
Make sure there is fuel in the car.....
Im just saying, Ive seen it before....
Papakap22 Don't use a match to check though. That's been done too
Ever had to take a fuel tank down full of gas?
As painful as it sounds a full tank is safer than an empty-ish tank because it has less fuel vapor (the stuff that goes boom). I also use brass tools when removing the pump to avoid sparks.
Greetings from The Bahamas Scottie,you're the greatest.
I love your videos. Short and to the point on common problems
Love this guy lol wish there was one of him in every city around the world! this guy knows his stuff!
How is it that you are so energetic and animated all the time? Looks exhausting. I do enjoy your videos though.
How did you test if the fuel pump was grounded and getting 12v feed ?
Er...the lead that comes off it!!!!!
Damn, i may watch more of his vids and I don't have any car issues. Entertaining shit.
this guy is something else... gives great advice on a whole shitpot full of vehicle related subjects.
If the tank is under the back seat make a access hole to remove the pump .on my grandam .i made a access and used a grand prix fuel pump no more gas tank remover
I used tin snips cut rite out . Seen some guys using grinders. Crazy I thought. What u use?
you gotta think outside the box sometimes lol
Mike Walker grinders in a fuel tank? Isn't that dangerous?
Yeahs That's why I used tin snips

Best youtube mechanic know how channel! Thank you, Scotty!
Top right 0:10 there is a face in the leaves right at the top. Did anybody see it
that is why I buy Toyota.
J Chu Toyota's breaks broke
J Chu That's a great statement, I'm impressed.
+J XXX Currently having issues with my toyotas fuel pump lmao, but im restoring it and it sat for 11 years, so i understand why its a bad fuel pump
***** Depends on what im doing, obviously you have to take faulty parts off.
+PuppetMaster Lol you have it made my man!
For one, your water pump was due for replacement anyway (at 90k miles actually). And if it was previously replaced, I'd be willing to bet it wasn't replaced with an OEM pump. Second, it sounds like either you need to grease your hood a little bit. Did you have an accident? Many times an accident will warp the metal around the hood and trunk, making it difficult to open or close (even tiny fender benders). All the Celica owners I've known don't have issues with their trunk (including my mom and aunt back in the 90s).
I've had to work on many of my family member's cars, and no surprise Toyota is definetely superior in the eyes of many based on first hand experience. And don't assume that the number of recalls is a clear indication of bad quality. American car brands don't issue recalls for many of their vehicles because they have to pay to fix it. Taking responsibility is better than laughing all the way to the bank as your customer is having their fairly brand new car in the shop getting fixed at their own expense.
THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION SCOTTY...
What if the fuse blew and keeps blowing everytime you put one in?
You are hilarious and you remind me of my Mechanic. Guys like you generate so much an interest in me to know all can know about cars, because it is a wonderful mind tool to have, and you guys make it look rather simple compared to what the dealer tries to scam all of us for........$961 for a Valve Cover Gasket replacement.......HA yeah right...goodluck Nissan.

Thanks for that. Don't buy a Jaguar, hot diggerty! Advice noted. Gp
The Volkswagen Touareg v10 Diesel is even worse. In order to replace the alternator you have to fully drop the front subframe. Yep, the motor,transmission, and subframe have to be removed to replace it.
That touareg is not a car you want to own outside of warranty
Good advice! Every time I pass one I say to myself, "poor stupid sucker."
_ Skylake _ n
lol
Scotty klimer !!! I have changed power steering rack of toyota gli .. bt still when i turn steeing rapidly back and forth it produce some sort of clunk

Mark Hurley as Scotty himself would say.... "Get a Toyota!"
virusboy07 he's not wrong you know...
ISIS drives Toyota.
David unfortunately they smart
Mark Hurley That's not a Jag, it's a Ford Contour, true story. Look it up
Scotty love all your videos this video saved me a lot of money on knowing to replace the fuel pump on my 93 caprice classic ls, thing runs like a dream again, been watching for years keep up the honest work. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
I'm watching this a month after buying a 98 jaguar xj8
Sell it now
@@coreseUpreach engine blew, would love to sell it to anyone that wants it for $500
haha Nice video ending, brother.
Scotty i love you
this guy has never changed. amazing.
Hey Scotty I have a 2001 chrysler sebring That starts but doesnt stay on theonly way it stays alive is if i keep pressing the gas as soon as let go of the gas pedal my engine stops running could this be my fuel pump ? checked vacuum and no leaks so i replaced the alternator and the spark plugs but still nothing lol is there anything else i can try ?
The Skinny Fat Vlogger how to get power to the feul pump
The Skinny Fat Vlogger alternator
Sounds like mass air flow or tpi sensor Ay??
I know in some cars if you run out of gas the fuel pump goes out.
do you know if this happens in a let's just say for example purposes a 1996 Cadillac deville?
+Ryan Toomey Thats because the motor in the fuel pump uses the fuel as lubrication. When you are running on empty the motor has no lubrication and burns up.
believe it or not the gas keeps the pump cool they get hot and burn up if you run them low on gas people think I'm crazy when I tell them but that's how they are
this guy is savage 😂
The simple fact that I now know most fuel pumps are in the tank is huge. I didn’t know anything about cars until I subscribed here haha
“Idiots who design this car” love it .!👍🙋🏻♂️
Scotty, you kick A$$!!
Scotty I bought a used Audi one time. NEVER AGAIN will I buy a used luxury car. I thought I got a 'great deal' but now I see why used cars have such low resale values.
+Yewon2001 Your problem is not that you bought used, but that you bought a used Audi. Audis are hit and miss for reliability, it really depends on how well they are kept up. Evidently, you got a Miss. Not only that, Audis are ridiculously expensive to maintain. When buying used, always stick to GM or Toyota if you can.
Josh Nixon
I agree. I'll never buy a European car again. Period.
In an emergency you can also use an implement to push on the valve stem of the pressure port to see if there's pressure but beware it can also squirt fuel out at high pressures too. But it can tell you if there's no pressure.
don't buy a Ford either, if you ask me!
As long as they aren't older Fords, then yes.
Don't ever buy a Chrysler either!
Don't buy anything other than a Honda or something with a Cummins in it.
+_ Skylake _ Those Cummins are known for having terrible transmissions and honda, you'll always get roasted.
Toyota for me.
Good thing no one asked you. Scott's new gt500 is bad ass
Jaguar is one of the biggest POS cars you can own....A relative of mine use to own one and only had it for a year before he sold it. The oil changes alone cost around $95-100! And I should mention he is a doctor making plenty of $ so cost wise it wasn't even a problem for him. He just didn't want to keep paying rip off prices for anything that needed fixing/changing on the car.
well... I have a 2010 VW Golf 2.5L and it does indeed cost 100$+ the oil change no big deal about that
5 Quarts of Synthetic oil (Mobil 1) at Wal-Mart - $25. This is the recommended oil for Porsche, Mercedes, and BMW, so it's good enough for an old Jaguar. A Purolator oil filter is $3.50 at Wal-Mart as well, so for less than 30 dollars you can go to Wal-Mart and change the oil in a Jaguar. There is zero reason you should pay the dealership to do this oil change. A jiffy lube charges 20-30 bucks as well. I'm pretty sure that saying your relative makes poor decisions on where to spend his money doesn't make a Jaguar a POS.
He was a doctor... not a car mechanic. He didn't know much about cars and would never change his own oil. So yeah maybe he did make a poor choice buying a Jag but overall he told me the car wasn't anything special.
complex2034 Again no reason why you should go spend $100+ to change the oil at the dealership especially for a Golf... that ain't no exotic car. It's a fun car to drive but you shouldn't rip yourself off at the dealership.

fun cars to drive, not fun to repair!
Show Some Chicks on the Beach, not a Dolphin.
You're pretty dam honest,and you help put money in a friend's pocket, kudos sir...
