Yep... Probably got a fuse block full of paper clip jumpers to boot. Not like the old days when you could just throw in a .22 long in place of the fuse. " you smell that?" "smell what?" Bang!! "Oh my leg"
"Exactly. " Take it back to the "bogitt" mechanic. Gotta be very careful when replacing a fuel pump; the fumes can ignite from various sources that are not always obvious to an unwary individual.
I’m 61 and have tinkered with cars all my life. Since watching you I now diagnose instead of replacing parts until I get it right. Who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks! Thanks Eric.
I'm sure the wire was free/upcycled. The car seemed to run fine with the exception of the fuel pump. Depending on the price of the fuel pump they got, they could probably afford 2 or more for the price of Eric's labor and the cost of the OEM part. And assuming he has AAA the tow probably didn't cost him anything additional. But listen to the comments here and you'd think it was a crime to save money and be resourceful.
@@RagnarokCo There's also being a bonehead and throwing good money after bad. This car is clearly being nickled and dimed, a piece of coat hanger wire holding on the engine cover, all the coils butt connected to the wiring, this owner is cutting corners everywhere and in the long run it's going to cause pain. Eric O is conscientious and good at what he does, he's not out to hit a home run or retire on every job, he wants to do it right and save the owner in the long run. If we were talking about the Stealership you'd have a point, they're going to try and squeeze you for everything you have, but Eric won't.
@@thermalreboot well I have to eat my words. Next video we learn the tows are costing him and the pump didn't work at all. Cost him more money trying to save money.
@@jackpatteeuw9244 He might use a book rate, average labor-time, even if it actually only took him a few minutes. So even a few minutes could be expensive.
@@JonBoy470 I agree, also anybody who complains about paying for Eric O to spend an hour diagnosing their car is a total idiot. I would pay double to have him fix my cars lol
I love watching your No start videos. Because I too love it when the customer gets their car back and they show gratitude. Even more so when others have tried and failed with their cars.
Soon as I seen the wired on engine cover, all replacement coils, missing manifold shield, and the aftermarket oil cap, I knew it was going to be an interesting video.
This is why I like you Eric, you think like me. Had the problem narrowed to fuel in 5 minutes by shooting in some brake cleaner. I like Ivan from pine hollow , but he would have spent 3 hours with his scanners and wiring diagrams to find out the same thing !
Guess being cheap now will bite the customer in the end. Bought an Ebay fuel pump for my f150 and a month later was dropping the tank down again to replace with a OEM. Of course they always fail when the tank is full. Lesson learned. Great video and enjoy the attention to detail with diagnosing.
I love these videos. I keep them on in the background while working my office job. I'm not a mechanic, or even that handy, but videos like these help me do some standard maintenance jobs, and know a bit more about what I should look for in a good mechanic.
We used to drive cars into the shop on brake clean. Tow truck would drop it in the parking lot. Do a quick diag and then have one guy on front spraying and another driving. Not the safest but beats pushing it into the shop.
@@heyitswesty Better be the platinum program. AAA would likely laugh at you if you mentioned "Yeah I need a tow from a repair shop to my buddy's back yard shade tree service station...."....
They would have to confirm it won't start and isn't something obvious like a dead battery or no gas, but then yeah, they'll tow it from wherever it is, to wherever you want it; I had mine towed from a parking lot to my driveway, twice. (Failed starter; failed replacement starter.) The standard plan only allows a few tows a year and only covers the first few miles on that tow.
Oh my god, a Toyota broke down, must be the apocalypse.....On a serious note, straightforward diagnosis and ease of access to components that are realistically going to need changing at least once in the vehicle's life, that's what makes a logical buy. On a less serious note, how many miles can a Camry do to a can of brake clean?
Gotta LOVE the headlamp bulb test! I've actually started using it for starters as well to make sure the wiring can handle the current! Come to think of it, used it for a power windows switch as well...fused 10A...worked great!
Getting towed twice and the diagnosis. Hell that's half of the repair right there. I deal with the same thing at my shop everyday. Keep up the good work. 🚗💨🔧🐿
This is one of those instant gratification fixes. Giver the old brake clean and it fires right up. its and awesome feeling fixing stuff, i love it. need some longer vids though.
Shouldn't be too surprised that the customer is going the barest, cheapest route on the repair. Which means you'll see the car a second time because if dude or friend couldn't do some simple, deductive reasoning figuring for a bad pump, it's very likely the repair is going to be equally clueless.
I guess if someone uses wire to hold the engine cover they are not likely to spend money to have a pro install the fuel pump. Hope you charged well for the diag.
best mechanic on RUclips keep up the good work learn so much keep up the good work one of the best Diagnostics I've watched you a d scanner Danner love watching your videos
My 99 Toyota Camry was down for 3 months which left my 73 yr. old husband & me w/o transportation unless my son walked a few blocks to the Dollar General (we live in a small town food desert or spent half a day on a bus to go across town to Krogers). Until last month or so Krogers was our only option. Anyway I finally found someone who could tell me it was the timing belt, not the engine. We got our nephew to replace it (did it wrong twice). After that it would start by pumping the gas then race but it was sorta like driving a manual. So I came to youtube and figured out on my own (thanks to these videos) it needed a new camshaft position sensor. Again my nephew put it in and it still won't do right. Sometimes it chugga-chuggas, sometimes a gas pump will do it other times a pump will almost flood it. Sometimes you have to pump it if going over 30 mph. The really strange thing though is if it feels like it's dying I ease my foot OFF the gas then ease it back on and it will make it up hill if not too steep, though straining. Then I remembered AutoZone tested it for free. Well the FixFinder said I needed to replace the camshaft position sensor (the part I just replaced). It says P0340 "Camshaft Position Sensor ""A"" Circuit (Bank 1 or Single Sensor)" Camshaft Position Sensor A Circuit (Bank 1 or single sensor) Secondary DTCs P0171 : System Too Lean (Bank 1). We can't afford to take it into the shop and the man that helped us the first time to know it was the timing belt has way too much on his plate to ask his help again. So any ideas would help. Do I need another part, is there something else I can do? Any ideas, suggestions, etc. would be greatly appreciated. It's a 24 yr. old car that otherwise is wonderful and faithful. I don't need free work. I just can't afford to keep paying for parts & labor only to still have the same problem. God bless for any effort to help you can make.
My youngest nephew came out of the shop the other day with a can, poked his head in the office and shook it while his phone played that orchestral hit Eric so likes. He turned me on to this channel, so glad he did. Never been able to understand the hysteria about a product which does a really important job and does it well.
Don't feel bad, I made the same dramatic music noise when I picked up a can of 'Electro-Sol'. I was a maintenance mechanic and it was strong and would even melt plastic, but cleaned steel, to a shiny new condition.
Still love to see a video on using substituted loads. I'm always nervous that I'll connect a bulb that pulls too much current and cause further damage. Great video as always!
Give us more of that easy testing. I love it. Brake clean and a headlight trouble light, spectacular. If there's any way to incorporate more of the simple forms of testing into your routine that would sure be great. You are the mechanic Eric O.. Scanner and car guy got nothing on you brother. And that, you take to the bank, every Friday! Take care. Jpol.
I'm not sure why I like Scotty Kilmer, but I can see why many think he's just full of himself. He's opinionated and seems to think he's the only voice of reason and honesty on YT when in fact he's sometimes just plain wrong. He obviously edits his videos to show believable results too. The thing is, he is often right about things as well, and I think the trick is to not worry about how he steers those who are ignorant about cars and instead worry only about what you know. That way you can extract the useful info and toss the BS. Plus, I like the way he conducts the symphany with his arms and talks with sand in his throat.
About right but it will be a $1 to watch it, As Eric did the first part for free - he needs to pay for the parts and his $200 an hour labour rate some how...………...
Really good diag. Clear for us to follow. Alarms bells rang when I saw the twisted wire!! Coil packs had been changed, why? Was there an intermittent fault. Quick fire the parts cannon. Someone had been to the wires by the fuel pump but one assumes failed to diagnose the actual problem. I know you can't comment too much Mr. O but we all know these guys. Get it done as cheap as possible because the dam car keeps letting me down and is costing me a fortune. That is because it is now 50% Chinese and your paying hacks who don't know how to Diag
Amazing they wanted to do it themselves however, the wire tie to the shroud over the top of the engine to the exhaust header was the first tip I noticed that "cheap" was in the car budget. Just the towing fee's ate up any savings for DIY unless they had the AAA towing twice for the same breakdown. Also, knowing this, it's likely the driver rarely fills the tank opting for $10 here and there at filling stations which pretty much will get the fuel pump on the road to failure much faster. Drive it almost empty a few times over and it will fail fast they say.
Love the plastic cover hold down device there - that's sweet! 🤣 Back in the 80's & 90's, and even early '00's, I'd say Toyotas were pretty bulletproof. Seems '07 is the magic year for all brands where quality collectively went downhill from. Does Dorman make fuel pumps? 😂 If so, he'll be back! 😁
Hey Scotty is the creator of car repair videos . Toyota used to be reliable now they are run by public educated kids like every other company.. No dipstick for the transmission etc. Had a 96 Chevrolet 3/4 ton. it drove and towed great but was always breaking down with 68k miles. two fuel pumps, water pump, alternator the list goes on. I bought a tundra 2012 no problems to date.
My daughters demolition derby ride is exhibiting fuel pump symptoms, fired with a squirt of starter fluid. Checked the fuse, and swapped the relay w the ac relay still no go. My plan is to as you did pop the cover and plug and test for juice. Just for an added twist she reports mice have shredded everything in the glove box, praying the didn't munch on the fuel pump wire!!!!!! Job for tomorrow!
Hi Eric, Toyota OEM parts are reasonably priced, usually. So, after he pays for another tow and the after market parts and his downtime, does he actually save enough to make it worthwhile? But, besides that, I guess the experience will serve him well when he has to replace the Dormaan part next year, 😍
Loved the alternative fuel. Also, since we got the fluid film bulb holder/stabilizer, but was only half of the can, shouldn't we have gotten a 1/2 Sheep sound effect? lol
people kill me..tow truck expense..buddy's house..cheap ass aftermarket pump..and a sorta EFF you to your work and honesty..SMH..hope you get to say to him..I TOLD YOU..someday..
Quick and easy diagnoses. Why they put fuel pumps in the tank is beyond me, but at least you can access it without dropping the tank. Because when the pump fails you have a full tank and huh hun, thats right you have to drain the tank and ain't no easy way to do that!!!! LOL!!!! Nice video Eric.....
I had an issue using a aftermarket part. intake cam sensor on my bmw. My original one that was apparently throwing a code actually worked better than the replacment with no code! Once replaced with known good no more issues. After that few $ mistake I only buy oem/eo parts. Not worth the trouble.
awesome tutorial I just found a new way to test the fuel pump 😁💯sure enough it wasn't the fuel pump that was bad, its was clog air filter, I just replace the dirty air filter with a new air filter my moms camry started right up w no problems, thanks a million my friend 💯💯💯😁
Haha, ring that bell.....ring ring goes the phone. Always like and appreciate your videos. I finally remembered and did my Amazon ordering through your link also.
Hey Mr. O, do you charge a nominal fee for diagnostics? I hope you do. Sometimes the diagnosis is more involved than the fix and can save $ and headaches. All the best, appreciative fan- Chris from Ca
The good ol I have a friend who can fix it cheaper trick lol. So he pays towing to your shop. Pays you for Diag. Pays tow bill to buddies house and he’s saving money seriously customers sometimes make no sense all that to save 75-100 bucks. Do as we do charge them for time spent ship it out the door then 2 weeks later there towing it back in because there friend is a Hack jobber. On to the next !!!!!
Darrel Booth I saw a video where a friend was helping another and because some other place had brake pads for $2 less he wanted to return his and make him drive 1 hour to get the cheaper ones. After that they got into a fight and are no longer friends.
Reminds me of a coworker that was going to do a drum brake job on his old rusty Volkswagen Bug. Unfortunately he was unable loosen the axle nuts to remove the drums (no air tools). He saw that Pep Boys was having a free special on checking brakes. They removed the drums and told him that he needed brakes. He said he wouldn't be able pay for a brake job at this time. Went home and did the brake job himself.
The video was playing with subtitles on to begin with and the introduction was. Welcome to the cell phone auto channel. I found that slightly hilarious 😂
I've done just the opposite on my mothers Toyota. There was a sensor that you need to get from underneath and I took it to Firestone. Told them what I thought it was and they replaced it. Same with the rear struts. The car was sitting funny. Broken spring. I had them use strut assemblies. It cost just a tad more then me buying them and doing it myself.
Woah....thanks mate.......experiences kicked in.....Hannah is learning.....better learn Hannah while good teacher in front of you....tidying, house keeping, familiar with tools, parts, part number....telling him to put on mask while brushing, grinding, sanding....thanks
It's right above the engine, who's to say it doesn't get too hot for those cheap dollar store zip ties? Also zip ties aren't reusable so something tells me this guy wouldn't buy them.
Remember, it’s the customers money, so it’s his choice who and where the work gets done. However, cheaping out with parts and substandard labour, just ends up costing you more.With SMA doing it, it gets done right, the first time.👍video🇨🇦
Q: Did Scotty work for Toyota? lol Or more likely Sears for forty years; Oil/filter changes, tires, batteries, wiper blades, and perhaps brakes and mufflers. Scotty wrote the book!
I loved the "that's it needs a fuel pump" head fake only to see you in the next shot getting ready to troubleshoot the wiring leading to the fuel pump followed by the line "now don't go making that mistake."
Don't you just love it when you do the hard bit of diagnosing them problem and they want to fix it cheap themselves ! Oh well they end up regretting it sometimes.
@Dominic Vail , this one only had routine maintenance with no major issues. The million mile Chevy has probably had every electronic component changed 2 -3 times and has gone through a few transmissions. When it comes to reliability in 2018 GM products are in the bottom 1/3 of vehicles.
MrEeeaddict while admittedly I don’t have a ton of experience getting my car towed, I’m fairly certain that you have to have one of the higher tiers of membership (and seeing as how cheap the guy is my assumption is that he doesn’t). Plus I’m not sure that they would cover someone moving their car from a professional shop to a backyard, especially considering that said shop didn’t already try and fail at fixing the problem.
@@adampoconnor He could just use his friends membership. In Canada CAA tows 5x 300KM for like $60 a year. This is how people in Canada often do a safety inspection
@@dav8388 Yes true however you can buy copies of OEM too causing more trouble that it's worth, a friend got caught out big time, But i do use ebay ALOT for other things.
scotty does say keep the gas tank full because the gas keeps the pump cool or who knows what kind of abuse it might have been put through or just badly made. sometimes you get a not so fresh egg[part].
The same friend that put in the coil packs, fixed the cover with wire and towed it in with a lawn tractor.
"There's your problem" hope they got FIRE insurance changing that fuel pump, 'We DON need disconnect the batry thar a plug here and any ole peice of mettal will open thant rond thingy and the ole gaskit look fine"
Maybe the sane dude who put the headers on as well!
Yep... Probably got a fuse block full of paper clip jumpers to boot. Not like the old days when you could just throw in a .22 long in place of the fuse.
" you smell that?"
"smell what?"
Bang!!
"Oh my leg"
"Exactly. " Take it back to the "bogitt" mechanic. Gotta be very careful when replacing a fuel pump; the fumes can ignite from various sources that are not always obvious to an unwary individual.

Automotive repair and maintenance is low on everyone's financial priorities. Clothes phone going out to eat tattoo's nails etc. Come first.
Wow no sheeit
I sure hope it includes another bit of bailing wire or whatever that was holding the engine cover on or maybe some duct tape
If they bring it back because they screwed something up in the repair, you should charge double what you were going to charge them in the first place.
That was awesome trouble shooting! I got the same problem of turns over but won't start. Thank you for sharing!
I guess if someone uses wire to hold the engine cover they are not likely to spend money to have a pro install the fuel pump. Hope you charged well for the diag.

About right but it will be a $1 to watch it, As Eric did the first part for free - he needs to pay for the parts and his $200 an hour labour rate some how...………...
Oh man that's raw
Scotty's been a mechanic for 51 years! Eric give it the ol Scotty grunt when you turn those screws!
Really good diag. Clear for us to follow.
Alarms bells rang when I saw the twisted wire!!
Coil packs had been changed, why? Was there an intermittent fault. Quick fire the parts cannon.
Someone had been to the wires by the fuel pump but one assumes failed to diagnose the actual problem.
I know you can't comment too much Mr. O but we all know these guys.
Get it done as cheap as possible because the dam car keeps letting me down and is costing me a fortune.
That is because it is now 50% Chinese and your paying hacks who don't know how to Diag
Amazing they wanted to do it themselves however, the wire tie to the shroud over the top of the engine to the exhaust header was the first tip I noticed that "cheap" was in the car budget. Just the towing fee's ate up any savings for DIY unless they had the AAA towing twice for the same breakdown. Also, knowing this, it's likely the driver rarely fills the tank opting for $10 here and there at filling stations which pretty much will get the fuel pump on the road to failure much faster. Drive it almost empty a few times over and it will fail fast they say.
Love the plastic cover hold down device there - that's sweet! 🤣
Back in the 80's & 90's, and even early '00's, I'd say Toyotas were pretty bulletproof. Seems '07 is the magic year for all brands where quality collectively went downhill from.
Does Dorman make fuel pumps? 😂 If so, he'll be back! 😁
Just saw Samcrac's video of a fleet of 2012-newer Camry's at Co part. At least 5-10 of them with 350,000-491,000 miles.
@@midwestfarm757 I watched that while doing something else so I'm probably wrong, but I thought those were Priuses? The taxis at the salvage yard?
Hey Scotty is the creator of car repair videos . Toyota used to be reliable now they are run by public educated kids like every other company.. No dipstick for the transmission etc. Had a 96 Chevrolet 3/4 ton. it drove and towed great but was always breaking down with 68k miles. two fuel pumps, water pump, alternator the list goes on. I bought a tundra 2012 no problems to date.
Superspeed diagnostics, the bulb of truth :-D
My daughters demolition derby ride is exhibiting fuel pump symptoms, fired with a squirt of starter fluid. Checked the fuse, and swapped the relay w the ac relay still no go. My plan is to as you did pop the cover and plug and test for juice. Just for an added twist she reports mice have shredded everything in the glove box, praying the didn't munch on the fuel pump wire!!!!!! Job for tomorrow!
It tickles me how these guys will pay a guy to diagnose it, but then they have a buddy who is a master mechanic and can fix it cheaper.
You made my day when I saw you taking off and reinstalling the wire holding the plastic coil cover. You could not beleive your eyes.
Hi Eric,
Toyota OEM parts are reasonably priced, usually. So, after he pays for another tow and the after market parts and his downtime, does he actually save enough to make it worthwhile?
But, besides that, I guess the experience will serve him well when he has to replace the Dormaan part next year, 😍
the actual advantage to OEM parts is :"They'll FIT with out alterrations"
Double Brake Clean!!! Now that's what I call an awesome vid! Only thing missing is Mrs. O!!!
Loved the alternative fuel. Also, since we got the fluid film bulb holder/stabilizer, but was only half of the can, shouldn't we have gotten a 1/2 Sheep sound effect? lol
I like the Fluid Film test light! Thanks Eric!
people kill me..tow truck expense..buddy's house..cheap ass aftermarket pump..and a sorta EFF you to your work and honesty..SMH..hope you get to say to him..I TOLD YOU..someday..

Quick and easy diagnoses. Why they put fuel pumps in the tank is beyond me, but at least you can access it without dropping the tank. Because when the pump fails you have a full tank and huh hun, thats right you have to drain the tank and ain't no easy way to do that!!!! LOL!!!! Nice video Eric.....
Did any notice the mileage? Close to 200k and needs a fuel pump not bad!
Meal in a can for a guy like me. Thank you ! I'm growing more knowledgeable thanks to your post.
Things I learned from Eric O. Today... you can use brakleen as starting fluid
You have to be careful, there are some kinds that are not flammable.
@@michael931 good point...
Your wife (or you, if that's your thing) can use it to remove nail polish too!
@@FaustoTheBoozehound good call out :)
Back in the 90's they started coming out with that water based crap, And I do mean CRAP.
Thank you Eric. Good job. As always brother, appreciate your videos. Have a blessed and safe week.
Never could understand why someone who buys a Toyota for its reliability chooses to replace parts with cheap Chineesium garbage.
If you keep doing it you will end up with a Chinese car with Chinese reliability.
With you on this one
Everything comes from China anyway. Also the oem is an assembly, the cheap pump from O'Reillys is just the pump it's self.
I had an issue using a aftermarket part. intake cam sensor on my bmw. My original one that was apparently throwing a code actually worked better than the replacment with no code! Once replaced with known good no more issues. After that few $ mistake I only buy oem/eo parts. Not worth the trouble.
Yes, I have learned with my Camry and Jeep - if you purchase Chinese parts they only last 1/3 as long as OEM.
@@FishFind3000 I think years ago you could get away with none OEM parts but the shit coming out of China makes it like Russian roulette
awesome tutorial I just found a new way to test the fuel pump 😁💯sure enough it wasn't the fuel pump that was bad, its was clog air filter, I just replace the dirty air filter with a new air filter my moms camry started right up w no problems, thanks a million my friend 💯💯💯😁
Bet his friend's name is "Scotty".
best comment! "Don't buy from this auto parts store!"
Haha, ring that bell.....ring ring goes the phone. Always like and appreciate your videos. I finally remembered and did my Amazon ordering through your link also.
Hey Mr. O, do you charge a nominal fee for diagnostics? I hope you do. Sometimes the diagnosis is more involved than the fix and can save $ and headaches. All the best, appreciative fan- Chris from Ca
Brake clean sound on a fuel pump diagnosis video????? Am I dreaming? Nice work
The good ol I have a friend who can fix it cheaper trick lol. So he pays towing to your shop. Pays you for Diag. Pays tow bill to buddies house and he’s saving money seriously customers sometimes make no sense all that to save 75-100 bucks. Do as we do charge them for time spent ship it out the door then 2 weeks later there towing it back in because there friend is a Hack jobber. On to the next !!!!!
Darrel Booth I saw a video where a friend was helping another and because some other place had brake pads for $2 less he wanted to return his and make him drive 1 hour to get the cheaper ones. After that they got into a fight and are no longer friends.
Reminds me of a coworker that was going to do a drum brake job on his old rusty Volkswagen Bug. Unfortunately he was unable loosen the axle nuts to remove the drums (no air tools). He saw that Pep Boys was having a free special on checking brakes. They removed the drums and told him that he needed brakes. He said he wouldn't be able pay for a brake job at this time. Went home and did the brake job himself.
I love to watch your videos. You sure do know your job. I'm a mechanic myself and would love to learn from you.
Toyotas are still great vehicles though and highly reliable but no vehicle is truly bulletproof.
Depends on the caliber!
The video was playing with subtitles on to begin with and the introduction was. Welcome to the cell phone auto channel. I found that slightly hilarious 😂
Sometimes it better to just take the diag money and run
Cliff Hawthorne very true....
Sometimes but that fuel pump is gravy
I've done just the opposite on my mothers Toyota. There was a sensor that you need to get from underneath and I took it to Firestone. Told them what I thought it was and they replaced it. Same with the rear struts. The car was sitting funny. Broken spring. I had them use strut assemblies. It cost just a tad more then me buying them and doing it myself.
Woah....thanks mate.......experiences kicked in.....Hannah is learning.....better learn Hannah while good teacher in front of you....tidying, house keeping, familiar with tools, parts, part number....telling him to put on mask while brushing, grinding, sanding....thanks
Owner could have dropped a dime & spurged on a zip tie...
It's right above the engine, who's to say it doesn't get too hot for those cheap dollar store zip ties? Also zip ties aren't reusable so something tells me this guy wouldn't buy them.
Some zip ties are reusable - the lock widget has a little tab you can press to release it.
DaddyBeanDaddyBean but those cost more. This wire he could steal or just find on the ground.
Yeah put a zip tie around the exhaust manifold. That'll work.
@@jamiebales8394 Oh, come on now, it'll work just fine! (Until you fix the fuel pump and start the car.) ;-)
Never in a jillion years would I thought to use brake cleaner to turn my car over. Why even use gas anymore. Thanks SMA!
First year for oil starvation generation. 2007 2.4L
Remember, it’s the customers money, so it’s his choice who and where the work gets done. However, cheaping out with parts and substandard labour, just ends up costing you more.With SMA doing it, it gets done right, the first time.👍video🇨🇦
go ahead and keep roasting scotty kilmer every video you make and I don't think a single one of us would mind.
The comments would be so alight with burns, the channel would be in breach of some policy or other
Q: Did Scotty work for Toyota? lol
Or more likely Sears for forty years; Oil/filter changes, tires, batteries, wiper blades, and perhaps brakes and mufflers. Scotty wrote the book!
@Bobby Brady you sound like you're a real hoot at parties.
@Bobby Brady go have some pork chops and applesauce and shut up please.
cool story
I loved the "that's it needs a fuel pump" head fake only to see you in the next shot getting ready to troubleshoot the wiring leading to the fuel pump followed by the line "now don't go making that mistake."
Figured by the butt connected coils the owner went to the $1 mechanic. I wouldn't be surprised if the tow truck was a regular truck with a tow strap.
Don't you just love it when you do the hard bit of diagnosing them problem and they want to fix it cheap themselves ! Oh well they end up regretting it sometimes.
You never ever see a Toyota on the side of the road in Texas
But you will see between 6 to 12 people in a Corolla around here lol
If they break down, they have 7-8 pushers to continue on their way.
@Dominic Vail question ? K1500 are we talking suburban?
@@fascistpedant758 I like that answer !!!
@Dominic Vail someone put a 1,000,000 miles on a Toyoya Tundra
@Dominic Vail , this one only had routine maintenance with no major issues. The million mile Chevy has probably had every electronic component changed 2 -3 times and has gone through a few transmissions. When it comes to reliability in 2018 GM products are in the bottom 1/3 of vehicles.
Freaking nice vid!!!!
Covered all that in less than 15 minutes!
Nice job bud!!
I love DIY’ers, I’m one myself but if you skimp on what makes the car run ? OH BAD DAY BAD DAY ( Jackie Chan voice )
You got an actual laugh out of me. BTW, am I the only one that would kill for Rush Hour 4?
Sean Martin NOPE!!! 🔥🔥🔥
First words out of my mouth were fuel pump.
Thanks for the video. 👍
Is his buddy named Jerry Rigg? Cause it sure looks like he's been working on that before. LOL....hacks.
Now, that's funny.
Still gotta love those Toyotas, since all you have to do for access is pull the back seat cushion.
“Too expensive” - *calls tow truck to move vehicle and still has to buy part* hmm I wonder what’s more expensive in the end
AAA?
MrEeeaddict while admittedly I don’t have a ton of experience getting my car towed, I’m fairly certain that you have to have one of the higher tiers of membership (and seeing as how cheap the guy is my assumption is that he doesn’t). Plus I’m not sure that they would cover someone moving their car from a professional shop to a backyard, especially considering that said shop didn’t already try and fail at fixing the problem.
@@adampoconnor He could just use his friends membership. In Canada CAA tows 5x 300KM for like $60 a year.
This is how people in Canada often do a safety inspection
He mentioned ePay. Quality part for sure...
the difference between Dr. Eric & beam me up Scotty is all talk & Dr. Eric actually works & fixes vehicles!
Yep i would not be trusting cheap/ aftermarket parts from ebay. Oem would have been my choice for a fuel pump.
Sometimes you can find cheep OEM parts on eBay. From a dealer.
@@dav8388 Yes true however you can buy copies of OEM too causing more trouble that it's worth, a friend got caught out big time, But i do use ebay ALOT for other things.
scotty does say keep the gas tank full because the gas keeps the pump cool or who knows what kind of abuse it might have been put through or just badly made. sometimes you get a not so fresh egg[part].
