Scotty Kilmer Scotty your awesome
My scan tool reads:
No electrical pulse scanned,waited a minute and guess what. ......I dont have a. pulse!!!
Scotty Kilmer almost like my issue... Scott, I have a 2006 hummer H3 I-5 with 127K miles. I have code P00014 and it’s idling rough as well as rough on acceleration. Could it be the timing chain? Don’t hear rattling.
Changed a 04 hyndai had to remove the fans and radiator started up Scotty
Wish you weren’t so far north of me or I’d take my hummer to you. We need more honest mechanics like you. Hello from Mcallen,Tx
Wears shades to look under car
Scotty: i cant see anything
Wonder why
Would help with dust and grit. Though just getting some regular safety glasses would work but gotta have YT style.
Dammit, Jim, I'm a mechanic, not an optometrist!
Eye issue
Lol!😄
5% tint these days 😂
Scotty: So we plug the ole scan tool in and let’s see what it says?”
Scan Tool: “Good luck taking half the car apart”
T J underrated comment 😂😂😂
Better yet.
Scan tool: your screwed 😂
@@richardshank7659 better yet: They don't pay you enough scott.
I’d argue that the C6 Corvette has been one of the most reliable vehicles I’ve owned.. other than a radiator exploding and a water pump.
Been up and down California racking up miles
Wonder how much cursing goes on when the camera is off
A lot!!
All of it
Like @ the white house??? Lol
If you work on cars you have to curse; it's some kind of law of the Universe!!
That and flying wrenches.
Lol, "fingers so far up their rear ends......".
Their fingers are wiggling out of their mouths, lmao!
I was on toilet while reading !
Both of you lol.
Engineer fisting to the elbow, while on the toilet, better have a lot of toiletry!
Man can't work without tools! :-)
God bless you Scotty for uploading a new video every 5 minutes
someone has to do it, all these other kids only upload one every month
Hands down the best car channel on RUclips
Tony C 👍👍👍👍👍👍
Dr.Scotty, besides being a auto repair genius, who has saved people millions of dollars in car repairs, you really are comic relief to peoples nerves now days.
yes the more vids the better education is the key never forget that people.
I always loved my Vette easy to work on so I don't know what you're saying.
Well on this 1 you'd have to pull the exhaust off just to replace the starter so I don't know what your definition of easy to work on is
@Aidan McKenney I agree, as long as you don't have broken bolts
Swallow your pride
Just saying, I drive a mustang, I love it but it sucks.
@@dylanclay2741 bruh, I’ve taken apart ls engines and compared to other engines like Ford, these are definitely easier to work on, I think it someone else that doesn’t know what easy to work on means
"I'm not gonna take the whole car apart just because GM engineers had their fingers so far up their asses they were coming out their mouths" haha savage!!
Lmao that sent me!
I am dying 🤣
Unfortunately not just stupid G.M. Engineers...they all have their heads up their butts.
I have a 96 Chevy c1500 and a lot of stuff is easy to work on but there is stuff like the power steering pump and the starter bolts running strait up makes me question gm
@@slvrktman7824 It's not their fault. They go to college where the first thing that happens is they are stripped of their common sense.
He “can’t see” but he is wearing the darkest sunglasses I have ever seen!
Scotty black holes
perhaps he was welding
He could have fixed that car blindfolded if he wanted to..
Yeah he has an eye issue. I have the same issue and have to wear sunglasses pretty much at all time outdoors
You never know when you will need to dig out the mig welder and then squirt out the fire
Scotty when are you gonna come out with Endless Money Pit t-shirts for our wives?
I'd buy
Me too
I got rid of mine. Would've been cheaper to keep her. Unfortunately
Got rid of mine couldn't claim spending taxes on her🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣😵
@@ChrisfromGeorgia Getting Blues Brothers 2000 flashbacks: "🎵It's cheaper to keep her.🎵"
Here’s why all cars are trash and you should get a v8 razor scooter
😂😂😂
Hmmmmm.
As a corvette owner I can relate to what your are saying. It takes a special type of mechanic to be able to work in a tight space like that, on your back, without a lift, removing all kinds of other components and without being able to see exactly what your doing. Another job well done Scotty, thank you. We actually changed our crankshaft position sensor at the same time we fixed a real main seal leak and clutch replacement. Like you say it's a real pain to work on a corvette lol.
doesnt mean its a bad car or that it sucks, what the hell do you expect of the first american car to really take german cars for a run.
@@joefries7046 GM is notorious for poor engineering
@@ianfincher8501Ive been a mechanic all my life. worked on everything. Dodges are the worst.
Fair enough, but find me another car that can give the C6 a run for it's money.
The fact that He is 3X my age and he can crawling under car and wrenching and fixing is just amazing, scotty i learn A LOT from you
Get fit, immediately.
I'm only 33 and can't be bothered to change my own damn brake pads...
And filming it
I love scotty Kilmer I remember him on his fix its on the news as a kid
@Nathaniel Smith first of all, by his name, he’s clearly foreign and that’s rude. Second of all, it’s not about him being unfit, it’s about the fact that Scotty is an older gentleman and he still has all the vigor and ability to do this.
I am now curious and want another video on just the behind the scenes of Scotty just working on a car. lol.
It would be censored to the point of not seeing it at all.
"Stupid thing."
There must have been a 1/2 hour of pure cursing that was eliminated.
I like the pictures you put up that show the location of parts and other parts related to it, as you did with the position sensor and the flywheel etc. Very helpful in understanding where to find the part on my car. Thank you for another great video Scotty!!
Gosh I really liked this video. Much respect to all the mechanics that have to fix faulty designed parts. ❤️
"Another brilliant GM design" says it all.
Ain't that the truth, every time I take my Grand Am into the local GM repair place they want at least $300 if not more for some stupid repair it didn't really need.
lmaoo
James N like what repair for example lol
@@DarthVader-1701 Its amazing the grand am is still on the road. Mine blew engine gaskets 3 times.
@@DarthVader-1701 Then fix it yourself i do.or try working on a ford if you want some real fun parts are going to be hard to get at at on most cars that have larger or more complex engines that just the truth it doesn't matter who makes them.
What Scotty can do in a short time would be an all day event for me.
constellationpegasus all day at least for me possibly an entire weekend
Yup
3 years for me
Yup, nowadays, I'd spend half day looking at it, building up the many reasons not to do it myself! ;D
Or make a video of an all day project and only show pieces.

I am amazed at the amount of work you do without a lift! When I built my pole barn I put in a 2 post lift, and I'm a truck driver not a mechanic! I basically couldn't stand bending over to polish the bottom half of my car anymore, LOL more power to you
Scotty, I know some professionals that would never work under a car without a lift! Much respect for you!
David Swick True it’s a whole different world laying down under a car trying to fix stuff
I have removed and rebuilt my'04 Pontiac Vibe GT trans once to replace a worn syncro because oil was gone. Put back in and drove two weeks and completely removed it again(yeah) because shifter wasn't aligned properly. All that was done on the floor of a garage, no lift. When you put your mind to something, be surprised what you can do.
Speaking of removing a starter, when I was a teen I was under my ‘84 Cutlass removing the starter and the damn thing fell on my forehead! Lol! I bled profusely and ended up with a inch and a half scar. Every time I look in the mirror I’m reminded of that stupid starter!
Vince Clark 307?
You called the starter stupid?
Randy Jackson, yep 👍🏻
Damn, that's crazy. Luckily you weren't killed
bern m, well it was GM.
Thanks Sir Scotty! I'm getting a clearer picture now of why you say to stay away from modern GM vehicles.
I hope your family is going great for the new year and everyone's mind machine is running as great as I'm sure you have their vehicle's running!
Take care Xo

MAKE UP YOUR MIND MAN!!! LMAO
If I did this job I would take 3 days to get it "close" to done. Then I would find I could never get it put back together again without pulling the exhaust system off and instead I would tow the car to a Great Northern Railway crossing and park it and setup a comfy folding chair and grab a cold beer and video the train hitting it at 90mph.
Dennis Nelson LOL!!!!!
Its all plastic and fiberglass, so a yellow maintenance putt-putt doing 10 mph will do the job.

@@inavbanz8876 Then use the money to buy a new car. It's brilliant lol
PLAY AT HIGH VOLUME FOR MAX EFFECT.
I can't hear anything now.
@@lalaithan lmao
Also play it at half or 2x speed depending on your mood.
The crows editing had me laughing 😂😂
Scotty I'm soooo glad I learned about the Chevy Equinox. My mom loves it and I did too, however I heard that Chevy Equinox has alot of problems. Based on watching your videos and learning bout different cars really helps alot.
I never had the talent, desire or patience to make a good mechanic like our friend Scotty here.
it takes a special kind of guy to do thiswork
Me neither but it is what it is, l can still learn a lot from Scotty
Reminds me of the old chevy chevette, had to remove the brake master cyl to remove the starter. Gotta love engineers.
Wtf lol
How about changing a water pump on an LT-1 V8
Hmm...I think manufacturers pay their engineers to design it difficult to work on so people are forced to take it in and pay the company to fix it. Idk just a theory
Sedition Society not always true, 3800 series II from GM is the easiest engine I ever worked on
@@caddieguy6510 No yeah totally some are super easy. My old MX-5 was like working on a giant lawn mower lol everything was easily accessible and could be replaced in minutes
Scotty showed his talent and experience making things in very tight spaces look easy!
I probably would have spent hours contorting myself while mumbling curse words to no end trying to get that sensor out of there. You make it look so smooth and easy!
The "behind the scenes" made me laugh so hard ahah
Really?
@@rcautofanatic5024 Yeah, they are going to use it on a south park episode, contract is in the mail.
The "in front of the scenes" is just as funny , if not more so.
“and then i wrecked it” i must have missed the part where he wrecked it
Scotty wrecked it verbally. "GM engineers had their fingers so far up their rear end, their fingers came out their mouth.
The Urban definition is: When adjectivized ({wrecked}) it becomes a word to describe how messed up someone was because of a physical or verbal beating. So basically Scotty was taking a beating under the car.
@@billdougan4022 I somehow doubt Scotty uses urban slang. It must be more of those "sensasional headlines".
he did get it sideways for a second. broke the back wheels loose.
@@timothyneiswander3151 yep, he really rectum
Scotty, your cackles and laughter make me giggle like a child. Thank you
3:16 might be one if the greatest insults iv ever heard
Guess you can say he was “driving like a maniac”
Driving like a maniac or talking like one. Either one works.
Love your videos and I'm not even into fixing cars. Something about all this good information just makes my day👍
whos yours or someone elses father??🤔
Katrina Fleeton Nice to see a woman as part of our car loving Scotty Kilmer channel!
@@joelspivak6622 - Dang! I missed her. Have to watch it all over again.
Great tip... my '03 Xterra has issues, but one was the distributor that I replaced because it got to the point I couldn't drive it and it was destroyed inside. But It would shut off while stopped at traffic lights and misfires plus it struggled to turn on, I couldn't believe it when I found out it was a temp sensor. Hence it had a code for that plus other codes along with it
Huge props to Scotty for doing the job like this and saving the customer money. Would’ve probably been at least an extra couple hours of labor to take the exhaust and all that off to get the starter all the way out.
Scotty drove the Chevy to the levy.... then wrecked it off camera?😂🔧
David Ahders - nah, the levy was dry.
Scotty wrecked it verbally. "GM engineers had their fingers so far up their rear end, their fingers came out their mouth.
Ahah! Love to see a seasoned mechanic suffer as I, a backyard mechanic, often does!! Thanks, Scotty!
John Lorenz So true
Love the little blooper at the end, the world needs more bloopers....
Scotty is willing to go where no man has gone before.
Great video. I felt like I was right there with you. Oh, I almost started swearing
I'd love to see Scotty drifting.
C6: Literally one of the best cars ever made
Scotty" wEll iTs nOt a ToYoTa"
Idk who told you that a c6 "literally one of the best cars ever made", but they were bullshitting you. I see them in my shop all of the time. I will just say, good luck with any of your seals past 150k.
Especially if it's an LS3 Corvette.
Jesus christ you two must be fresh off the short bus
Thanks for the heads up!!
I love Corvettes Chevrolet for life keep the car Scotty Kilmer it's a great masterpiece of an automobile.
I was waiting for the wrecking part but never came!
Never a dull moment Scotty! 😁
Getting ready this week to change the VCT Solenoids in my 2006 F250 Super Duty with the 5.4L. Plugs too. Scored a free running truck that needed 100 bucks worth of repairs. Feels good to have a truck again.
"Its going sideways, got a lot of power now"
hotsky83 Lmfao.
The "proper orientation" for a powerful car!! ;D
As steamed up as that Vette looked inside it's probably a Houston flood vehicle and it's gonna have a lot more problems than wearing that bow tie and a faulty crankshaft sensor circuit.
Good point
My brother has a 2012 Jeep Wrangler which had the same problem. We replaced the sensor and it turned out great. It was much easier to get to though near the transmission and not right next to the starter like the Corvette
Really enjoyed this video
Dang this reminds me of when Doc brown is trying to get the 2 electric cords together at the clock tower to send marty back to the future. I can imagine scotty screaming like the doc lol.
I remember the crank angle sensor going out on my wife's Holden (Australian GM) Commodore sedan about 10 years ago (common failure on those cars). The car just died as she was travelling through a major intersection, luckily it was able to coast through and there was a large roadside area for her to pull over in as she reached the other side (of the intersection).
Scotty!!! That starter casing looks CRACKED!!!!
As a true Corvette fan I thank you for this video Scotty. 👍🏻
Customer: are you sure you put a new sensor in..
Scotty: Haha 🤣
Scotty always giving honest feedback about how a pretty Corvette can be a nightmare to work on. And I love the funny animal pics he includes in the videos
I'm not even into cars or vehicles that much but I've learned so much and love the fact I can dig into all my friends into Chrysler and gm. .
You can actually remove the starter from the car without removing everything else in the area, you just gotta get the right angle and it will slide right out
It was the kind of car that stole men's hearts, then wrecked 'em....
atticstattic That would be a BMW
@@steelisthemeal Yeah ,except the BMW wrecks itself from normal light use. The Corvette has to wrecked by the men.
Hi Scotty, I like your videos, just to know, why do you remove the positive on the battery and not the ground? Isn’t more safe to take the ground off? Is any particular reason or it doesn’t matter? Thank you
Knowledge is Power. Scotty is powerful because he has massive knowledge. I've NEVER seen a bad video buy this man. Continue sir.
When doing a test ride is part of the payment too!
Anybody that’s worked on a newer GM feels your pain, Scotty.
I had to take off the front passenger tire and plastic wheel well liner to change the coolant in my Mom’s Tahoe.
Great design.
Okay that kind of video is enough to influence my buying in the future. We need a lot more of these with more cars and component types.
Scotty's videos are educational AND entertaining!!
To be a mechanic you have to have a lot of patience. Too cramp in there Scotty. But you did it.👍👍👍
More behind the scenes!!! :)
Great video! 😎👍
Scotty, if you could make a Frankencar (LoL!), and everything meshed together perfectly, what would your car be made up of and what would it look like? Other than that awesome Camaro a couple of videos ago.
I'm with you on that, can't imagine what he's talking about. I have a C5 Vette and I've never had any problems
Shouldn't you take out the negative terminal of the battery first?
You are correct, that way with it removed you cannot short anything to ground.
Should, but didn't you see it's buried under the fenders edge? I would have done the same.
Hey scotty , did you back up the battery and computer by hooking up the obd2 port with an external powered battery ????
Naw, he was too busy waving his hands around chasing those imaginary bugs around his head.
Ricardo Mierz I was just wondering how the hell does he have over 2 million subs...lmao good luck with them damn bugs
It's an older car so he doesn't need the backup for the battery.
I’d rather let the computer reset by being disconnected then relearn with the new sensor.
He wants to reset it anyways🤷
The segment under the car, at around 2:55 to Three twenty-five .... hilarious ... coming out of their mouths... LOL
I love how he even mocks the crows 🤣
Unbelievable. Scotty is working AND filming! And you can see! Hahaha
I'm usually working half-blind the whole time! Hahaha
+i use very strong russian language while working on my old "Renault",such as "blyat","suka",yob tvoyu mat","pizdets"!
2:17 What a golden sentance.
4:28 also heh
2:27 "Not enough room to get it off without taking everything off.." 🤔
Another great video Scorty. I was excited to see a BTS section, but bumbed that it lasted 2.67 seconds. And more BTS video clips or bloopers.
This made my hands hurt just watching. I'm so glad too finally see you use a Jack Stand Though.
Dang... I still like that C6. The ones I drove were pretty impressive, even though the seat felt like I was sitting on an old sofa... :D
5:06 Scotty you have made me die of laughter
And who knew John Lennon was a comedian.
Great to see videos like this i like to see uou more hands on doing things much better video hopefully you can do more like this
Good camera work for such a tight spot. Thx.

"Stupid thing."
~ Scotty Kilmer
I love these old school Scotty repair videos
Most of the GM LS engine CKP sensors we have problems with at work are the harness connectors getting crispy and the wire insulation melting off and grounding out because of all the heat.
Is there a reason to disconnect the Red/Positive battery terminal over the Black/Negative terminal? I've seen videos saying to always disconnect the Negative but I trust Scotty more... ??
C - I don’t think it really matters much. I’ve been told that disconnecting the negative is better because if you pull the positive cable and then go to reconnect it, it’s more prone to spark and could cause the battery to blow up. I always disconnect the negative cable myself.
I've always disconnected the negative terminal first because if you are careless while loosening up the positive cable and your ratchet touches anything metal, you will have a direct short across the battery and you'll see an awful lot of sparks!
@@drivedb7 Thank you for the explanation!
@@markkauffman6184 Thank you Mark! That makes sense and I don't want any extra sparks under the hood.
Someone called the police on Scotty, this crazy old man is talking to himself.
Yeah they called the police and said John Lennon was back from the dead pissed off and doing burnouts through their neighborhood lmao!
Makes points look so good.
Scotty , you're the man but as we age we all need that overhead lift; if only for making your very informative videos. The mats and cardboard on the ground days are over.
