    You know why your video is the BEST? Besides is simple and straight, you show us exactly which spray you are using!!! I have been watching dozens, trying to figure out what spray to clean the o2 sensor, and they all cover the can whit their hand and didn’t mention what cleaner is. Big Thanks for your video!!!

    Hi, very informative video and I subscribed aswell. My vehicle Nissan Quest 2009 3.5S V6. I'm in a weird situation, my car has the check engine light on, I went to USA's famous auto shop to do the check engine diagnose and PO171 code came up means Bank 1 too lean.
    Went to another car garage for another opinion and i was told PO171 can mean a lot of problems within the car like, all the inlet and outlet sensors, spark plugs too.
    Both of the above gave me different answers and big quotations.
    First my vehicle in city gave me 19 miles per gallon and on highway 23 miles per gallon. Now its giving me only 10 miles per gallon, but there is no bad smell from exhaust. I'm driving the car and thats why I know what this car is doing, taking high RPMs, changing gear a little late then it used to. The second garage owner told me my car is jammed running so he did changed all wheel disks with bearings, break pads, both front excels and control arms, but the car was still using up a lot of fuel and other light of tire air pressures is still on.
    I watched your video with interest and also read the comments. I saw your email address too. Please can you suggest what should I do? Can you briefly explain that would help me a lot. And if you want to email me this is my email (peacelover704@gmail.com).

    • @RBTheMechanic
      @RBTheMechanic  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      I can’t email you buddies but this is good here ok first hung first yes this code mean it can be lots of things.... what u would do is change out the air first and clean out maf sensor to begin with it can also be vaccine leaking. Check the duct pipe for cracks or loose vacuum lines try this first and after that reset the light it things get better and light don’t come on ur good! Next step I would recommend replacing the oxygen sensors

    • @RBTheMechanic
      @RBTheMechanic  3 ปีที่แล้ว

      Lean is very complicated code and it can be simple as u have vacuum leak it can be surety maf sensor or bad maf sensor or oxygen sensor before anything you must check for vaccume leaks for cracked pipes broken or loose pipes

    Thanks for the vid! I don't mean to doubt, but are you sure brake cleaner (that you mentioned) can be used to clean O2 sensors? I heard/read that brake cleaner would do damage to the sensors. The stuff you used is different from the brake cleaner, though. Will carb cleaner do it? Thanks!
    Found the below on the net. Search for "Can carb cleaner be used to clean oxygen sensor?". I didn't know that WD-40 can be used. I got some carb cleaner, and looks like that will do!
    Step 1: Prepare tools
    The tools needed to clean the oxygen sensor include:
    Wrench for disassembling the oxygen sensor.
    WD-40, gasoline, or carburetor cleaners are the solutions to help remove and clean the oxygen sensor effectively.
    Soft brush to remove “stubborn” dirt.
    Soft towel: dry the sensor after cleaning.
    In addition, you should also prepare extra gloves and glasses to avoid getting stuck with gasoline and cleaning solutions.

      @@jaylovechilds2066 sounds like an issue coming from somewhere else. Bad o2s won't sludge. Its 600° exhaust flowing past them, so when you pull them out it's burnt carbon build up which just looks like ash.
      If it looks like ash, use brake cleaner and a wire brush to clean off and reinstall
      If you have a turbo charged engine I would look at the turbo first, see if oil is leaking past seals and into the exhaust.

    This video is obviously a practical joke. The guy in the video mangling those two broken sensors should have said so.
    You can’t clean an O2 sensor - you have to replace it with a new one that is OEM for your specific vehicle. O2 sensors are often difficult to remove & require a quality O2 sensor removal wrench, lubrication, heat, and a good deal of patience, to avoid stripping the potentially corroded threads.
    If you’re going to go through the time & trouble of removing a bad O2 sensor, you might as well put a brand new OEM sensor back in. There’s no alternative.
