    Back in the days of carburetors when the idle got either too low or too high all you had to do was start it up, get a screwdriver, and adjust it until it was right. The whole job took about five minutes.

    I had a MAF sensor issue . Took it to 4 mechanics.... agter and new fuel pump and sensor and fuses still had the issue... wouldnt start and had a strong fuel smell once it did start. Had a mechanic try and tell me it was the computer. Replaced the throttle body finally o took out the MAF sensor and it had a small peice of an acorn it ....

      My grandpa's F-150 has a similar story. Multiple mechanic shops and a few thousand dollars for services but none of that fixed it. I pulled the MAF because the timing was all over the place and there a tree bud thing stuck in the little MAF opening. Pulled it out and the truck ran great. Sometimes it's the simplest things that get overlooked.

      @davidvankainen6711 8 дней назад +1

      I double took there as well. Maybe Scottie was trying to say when the engine is cool, there is more CO that opens the EGR bringing exhaust gasses in, that are surely WARMER than ambient air...

    So dissapointing his behind-the-scenes court cases
    turned out the way they have. The verdicts last
    friday were a shock to us all. Hopefully his retirement
    next month will go smoothly.. I'm sure they can find
    an equally knowledgable presenter to keep the channel
    running. Adios and good luck, at least it was a fun few years.
