Hello Dwayne - glad to see your back making videos again - I have learned so much from you as lots of your subscribers did too, my thoughts were leaning towards the O2 sensors also - welcome back and God Bless You on your recovery .
Brilliant video, I sure like the way you emphasize diagnostics. Unforgettable. I also like the way you don't trash the previous mechanics, very classy.
Very nice Wayne. I get a lot of work from other shops and many in my area do not have guys who understand how much an o2 can wreak havoc on a pcm's ability to function properly. Great diagnosis and great video! Glad you are back!
Congratulations on your return. This video drives home the need for understanding the what and why of testing and evaluation. Thanks for your contributions to the industry.
Dwayne, I can tell you're getting better. Your speech is clearer than it was in the last video and it's apparent that you're healing. Your left arm is apparently still a problem but the fact that progress is being made is something that can never be overstated. All of us are rooting for your complete recovery. Keep up the hard work required for rehabilitation. I can see the positive results of your efforts. Never give up.
I guess some "automotive engineers" watched too much "Star Trek,' and decided they only wanted Scotty & Spock to be able to diagnose automobile driveability problems. POINTS & CONDENSERS! Really, I'm glad there are people like yourself to deal with this stuff. I'd rather change ball joints on a full size Blazer!
Glad to see you back at it. Great explanation of process. Explain to your customer what to expect and then follow through with it. Make them aware this isn't waiving a magic wand over their car to fix it. There is a process involved in any diagnosis and sometimes it can be a little trickier than others.
Boy, I thought I knew mechanics.. aircraft and auto- till I started watching you.. now I know I'm the geek hanging out at the garage with a master. Maybe John Milner in American Grafitti. Thank YOU!
I had a mid 90's Dodge Stratus that had a runaway idle that liked to frequently stop at about 2500 and would come and go. It was a bit maddening at red lights because it would jump off the line every time I let off the brake. I didn't have a scan tool at the time, but I was able to narrow it down (over a few months) to something really simple. The upstream O2 sensor wire had made contact with the exhaust manifold and had melted the insulation just enough that under certain conditions it would short out on the manifold pulling the circuit to zero causing it to hold on low. The PCMs response would be add more fuel causing the engine to rev up. Since this was a $900 car I bought for cash just to tide me over during lean times, I wrapped the wire in tape and zip tied the wire out of the way. The revving problem went away. I'm not a mechanic by trade, I work on computers, but the skills you can pick up from Duane are equally as valuable fixing PCs. Why does problem X only happen when Y is occuring. What do X and Y have in common. What parts to they use and/or what system files do they both use? etc.
I find it unclear and confusing to know whether O2 sensor pattern is sign of bad sensor or unstable mixture, please let us know more about O2 sensors patterns and what they mean
I love your videos man! I just passed my L1 but it is very clear I have so much to learn, I know it will never stop. You break it down almost perfectly and it's really rewarding and healthy for me to see how one of the old-timers that knows his stuff breaks it down. Every single time I watch your videos I learn something I didn't know. Thank you for posting and please keep on doing so.
Thank you Eric, I appreciate your comments. I've am at the point in my career where it is time for me to "give back" to an industry that has been good to me. I trust when you get older and wiser you will be able to do the same. Duane
I had an unsolvable problem on a new dodge truck. I found that changing the hood ornament fixed it! Yup, dumped the dodge lemon and bought a lexus. :) you are an elite mechanic, wish more of them had your talent!
Thanks for sharing, good to see you getting into the groove again!

Great to see you back Duane at what you do so well. Did the two new O2 sensors solve the problem?
most excellent
This is the only way to do your diagnoses on modern cars. Hope you are doing well, keep moving your left side, wish you will recover bit by bit.

Great video Dwayne nice to see you back.Nothing can keep us old timers down. Until next time PEACE.
Great video.
AWSOME

👍👍👍👍👍❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Very nice analysis. why not replace the O2 sensor from the first shop amd hope the issue is fix since its gave the cel code.
You alreaday old sir dis video but still very smart in nice tecnik to tell peoblem thank you sir i watching ur video alway

Great video as usual, I know this is unlikely, but what is the possibility that the o2 sensors were swapped?
I am happy to see you thanks
THANX GREAT VIDEO
Great to see you making videos again! Did the o2 sensors get replaced? And did it resolve the issue?
A great video, thru a trying and difficult case. Well done!
Welcome back. Good job diagnosing the issue.
Excellent
