Why would anyone dislike this video ? This man is giving away FREE diagnostics tips and he’s giving advice on how he parents his children. I honestly can’t see why someone would Dislike this mans video.
Brother I gotta say not a religious man too many bad things happened for me to believe in anything . But you sir made me stop and take stock . I ain’t there yet but you got me closer than any other person in the last 40 years. You are unapologetically living your life with purpose. Your presentation is pretty hard to ignore. Thanks I’m stunned 40 years walking one direction watch one car repair video and I find myself doing a 180 and jogging the other direction. You are impressive sir. Keep up the good work 🙏🏻
Message to the Haters: Whenever someone criticizes you they are telling you their story NOT YOURS. Some people give up real easy and loose the drive to carry through. They try, they GIVE UP then develop a false perception about it or anything similar. The sad thing about some haters is that they ASSUME and never try because they have already sabotaged their abilities and have SET LIMITATIONS ON THEM SELVES then try to impose THEIR OWN LIMITATIONS (ON YOU). Be careful who you let influence you, some people are positive and full of encouragement and some are full of negativity, LIMITATIONS and POISON. When I pursue any task I do it with 1000% PASSION & EFFORT and I dont let anybody tell me I CANT or STOP ME, YOU DO THE SAME and Keep on SMASHIN IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME!
oldskool funk from an atheist, I can truly respect what you are preaching. I am a succesful family man looking out for my shorties (with my own deamons), trying the best that I can, and even though my religious beliefs don't align with yours, I can truly respect your point of view. Live righteously, contribute to humanity, and pass it on to better us all. Right on brah!
ATTN Subscribers: Would you like me to make a video on how I get free repair manual information that is far batter than the Haynes manuals? Schematics, diagnostic flow chart procedures etc. MITCHELL PRO DEMAND? let me know and I will show you all exactly how I do it.
At 8:54 into the video take those readings and check your pick up sensors, check your crank shaft position sensor resistance ( sensor is located on the side of the crank shaft pulley) those will effect injector pulse. I would try those first.
Oldschool Funk kills it! His video about fixing a Civic that won't start, was amazing. My son and I were able to troubleshoot and repair his car because of Oldschool's comprehensive instruction. It was especially helpful how he walked us through the troubleshooting process, which allowed us to narrow down and eliminate the possible causes of the problem. Our issue turned out to be the coil, which was not the issue in his video but, he had shown us how a coil works, how to test it, and that steered us in the right direction. I had never messed with an electrical problem before. This was the best car repair video I've ever watched. If you're ever down in San Diego I'd love to buy you a cold one. Thanks bro!
Morning brother.. Love the videos, old school troubleshooting always... I'm a Electrical Engineer by education... I work on residential electrical homes and systems... Started working on cars,( as per demand per friends) and seeing your videos was able to finish some repairs quickly... Thank you .. Keep it up.
The heart of a teacher. Here's a guy who loves what he teaches. One of my favorite TH-cam channels. I've learned a lot. One day I'll vacation in southern California. And when I do, I have no interest in meeting some Hollywood star. But I do I want to shake this mans hand. Well done!
You're the manliest man I have ever seen on a video. I've only seen you in these videos, but I'd wager to guess that you are really good at being a father.
Great video again, you have a very effective communication skills I follow very easily when your instructing that's another God given talent thanks again!!! Much respect
I've been watching your videos for the last 6 months and I have learnt how to replace head gaskets(6), diagonise no start and now I'm learning how to use the RMS digital voltmeter. You are the best bro, I hope to make a living doing this in Jesus first. Keep 'em coming.
you're better than any other I have seen on TH-cam and on any ather site good for you invstment explanation are clear and understandatble especially for those who has no background in automotive industryI feel safer because of you fix it myselfwill continue to produce such beautiful Tutorials Thank you very muchDaniel
Nice video!! The ignition control module is is a transistor. It receives a small control voltage from the Computer; it turns off and on a higher voltage/amperage to the coil. The coil uses this high/amps and converts it to high voltage low amperage. This high voltage creates the spark as the electrons jump across the spark plug gap.
Loved this video, and I share the sentiment at the end. My father always had me working on things with him when I was a kid, even if I was just holding a light or handing him a tool. He has passed on now, and today I'm a grown mother of two. I learned to think and do for myself, there's nothing worse than being a helpless female. Respect yourselves, first, ladies. God bless.
That entire video from beginning to end ministered (life) to me through your living: teaching auto mechanics, caring for your children, sharing your testimony...this is a normal Christian experience and is encouraging to see. I am reminded of a famous quote, "Preach the gospel at all times and speak words when necessary." Actually, both our living and our speaking the gospel are very necessary and critical, but the point is that I see that you are living and preaching the gospel. What a wonderful work the Lord objectively for us and subjectively in our experience to transform our living. Keep letting your light shine! The Lord touched me when you talked about our leadership and appointment by the Lord. You nailed it. We need to lead others by our following the Lord. The Lord is the most amazing and wonderful person that I am privelidged to know. When we spend adequate time with Him in His Word, we get filled and cannot but speak the words of this life. I was considering some of the comments about the "haters" that I read below. I thought about the "haters" during Jesus's time on earth, and they were there hating then too. I chucked because the haters are nothing new and will always be with us (I've learned a secret to keep from lettign them get to me is to pray for them ~ just to bless them and pray for their greatest possible good ~ doesn't our heavenly Father want this anyway, Thes or Tim 1:4-5, God desires all men to be saved and to come to the full knowledge of the truth). Anyway, I'd say the haters during the Lord's incarnation, human living, to crucifixion would be the religious Pharasees, and this is the group of men that were supposed to be leading me to God. Rather, as we know the story, they essentially caused the death of the Lord Jesus. That same group of haters told Peter and the early apostels to stop teaching the name of Jesus and that they killed the Lord, but their response was (paraphrasing here) whether we obey man or God, we must obey God and we cannot but speak the words of this life." And they surely continued in this way! In fact, Stephen spoke until they stoned him to death. The coolest thing about his martyrdom was that the Bible says his face shone like and angel, and Stephen was praying for the ones killing him, just as the Lord prayed for His enemies on the cross...only God has that kind of power to forgive, so Stephen was surely mature in the divine life and ready to be taken by the Lord. I believe that the Bible says that the Lord Jesus was STANDING -- notice the detail here in this word. "Standing" and not "sitting" shows that the Lord was very concerned about what was happening to Stephen. The Lord really does care, especially for His believers/followers. Keep speaking!!
I was always fascinated by the story of the death of Stephen. It struck me as so incredible I would imagine it in my mind to try and comprehend it. To think that he prayed for those killing him is revealing of what was in his heart (the spirit of God). Truly amazing and it impacted me and made me want to be like him which was to be Christ-like in nature. If we have the spirit of God in us we become united in the body of Christ and become one.
Your expert No Start video saved a friend of mine over $1200 compared to replacing all the ignition parts on his 2002 Civic at the local Honda dealer.ship May you receive inspiration everyday to continue this teaching....well done!
CHRIST LIVE!! YOU ARE A TRUE SOLDIER OF GOD!! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MY BROTHER THE WORLD NEED MORE OF YOU!! TOGETHER IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME WE WILL SUCCEED.
I am a shade tree mechanic. Oldskool funk you have given me the confidence to become a master mechanic through God , your videos, and self confidence. THANKS,THANKS, THANKS. And to all you young people you have to excuse to to succeed in life. There is unlimited information at your fingertips. I am doing it and I am age 52. I have learned to attack projects instead of fearing projects, that's how you learn anything, don't fear it. Everyone Go Get It. Peace
Solid gold, brother!! What a guy. Amen to every word... I came for car advice, but as I am a Christian and a father of five kids, I could not agree more!
Hey man, I am not a mechanic, I am not am not a father, I am not even religious, but I like you and believe that you are a great dad to your kids after hearing your final comments. I think you learned how to be a good guy after taking the “wrong” path. Thanks for your video and thanks again for being such a good role model for your children. Now, I have to see about my 2004 Honda Civic.
great info, I work on cars too, I though you where full of shit at first, but after watching more of your videos I got a whole lot more respect for you!!
ScannerDanner Ya me to, I found out they either fail on or fail off. Thanks for the channel suggestion and all you do to help us all, Stay ARMOURED UP in Christ.
The pure self in the play we call existence gets identified with the person, then it has some affection for what i call the 'infection', then it deeply believes its a person becoming a victim of fear, sorrow, anger betrayal, disappointment; a tortured life is lived because it see the world as objects not the 'one', as subject. To walk in the forest of mind is a very unstable place. Be bold and courageously, say "I am" the self". To allow yourself to be distracted or tricked or seduced or resist the source and center of your divine being is because we have an invested value in the illusion or concept, of fully identifying as a person of power, control, dominance and superiority. We have become accustomed to living in affliction, limitation and fear. I am not asking you to perform some spiritual gymnastics. Just quietly within your own being , allow my words to point you to the place, that you can never not be. Once, in contact there, never give up! When the mind's resistance comes, it is because you are on to something. Your attention has turned inwardly towards the source of the universe.Once you have tasted this delicious fruit, you can never go back to the life of a person, with a micro chip, a robot, a mechanical automaton, that was once human living with turmoil with disregard for creation, killing, taking, eating and shitting aiding and abating the elite in their dirty inquisitor work to take over our planet given as a gift freely by infinite intelliegence, for the evolution of the human-beings. Resist this evil diabolical conspiracy against you, nature, and God. The beauty and magnitude of God, you will see not as object but as subject. We are to busy fulfilling our own projections, so we don't see this ultimate reality of the divine, within every human-being. This makes our minds open to the auto sugestion of others. We are all vulnerable to the powers of persuasion, leverage and organized materialism, deception and group mania; and the madness of an immoral military, in Spain, Greece, Germany, Italy and France; then, the United States of America is next.This has now become the diabolical mission of the elite trillionaires, a one world government and religion by force and threat of death, in their "New World Oder," prefabricated for us to remain forever slaves in obligated servitude, for these dominant devils, who mock the divine creation of God; and manipulated you all, into giving up your constitutional freedoms and liberties. The reluctant warrior is always interested in serving mankind not fighting wars, where soldiers kill innocent women and children suffering from a suicidal post traumatic stress syndrome, when blindly following orders, from the industrial military complex, who empower young men to enjoy killing people without questioning the insane authorities, that harbour its objectives with pay and rewards. Many young vulnerable soldiers must become aware, that their insecurities comes from a deep need to be loved, validated as strong man. The protectors, of your families, wife and children and pets yet the Military enmeshes its self into these invisible needs with authority, they break you down and rebuild you up throwing at you a piece of meat to begin the process of changing your values and principals to a reward system manipulating your lower self esteem and creating a super monster wounded underneath; a mega-lo maniac, who needs to suck on the breast of an evil and iniquitous government, which our Constitution says, "We The People Must Take Arms Against It". Now, you know why, through out history, they have taken your guns and rifles away. Your own government, does not care for their soldiers; they are collateral damage; a label placed to avoid feeling and caring for its people and soldiers. They manufacture the lie, have used the lied to deceive our military and get away with it; because Generals, have been bought and paid for, financing wars, from both sides knowing the outcome a head of time and enjoying the spoils of war; the wealth of others, stolen from grand parents, in foreign countries, after the blitzes creed massacrer, of that population, then investing the spoils in corporate companies, that return a dividend making the wealth grow forever. These company's, who were, also in on the deal to take over, a countries resources and paying private armies to slaughter your blood lines and genes from the face of the earth. Hiring good people to do their dirty work and operate their machines. This is called progress and we too are deceived by this propaganda. Tell me reluctant warrior, what will you not do! Remember, "You are the resistance" by Alex Jones. Recognize the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE YOUR MOTTO,I WISH MORE PEOPLE WOULD GO BY THAT. MINE IS "AINT NOTHING TO IT,BUT TO DO IT,AND IT AINT GONNA DO IT BY ITSELF,SO LETS GET AFTER IT" " WORK HARD,STAY HUMBLE" I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY SON'S HONDA,FOUND A BRAND NEW DISTRIBUTOR ON EBAY FOR $58 HOPING THAT SOLVES HIS PROBLEM. HE ONLY HAS CLOSE TO 400K ON THE POOR CAR,THOSE HONDA'S ARE SOMETHING ELSE AS FAR AS LASTING FOREVER.WHEN WE BOUGHT IT,IT HAD 220K AND SINCE THEN WE FOUND OUT IT ACTUALLY HAD CLOSER TO 300K AND HE HAS DROVE THAT CAR EVERYWHERE. 5 DIFFERENT STATES AND UNTIL NOW,THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAD TO BE TOWED HOME.KEEP UP WITH THE GOOD WORD OF GOD ABOVE AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR SKILLS WITH US.KEEP KICKING IT OLD SKOOL,WE ARE GETTING TO BE A DYING BREED. I HAVE A S10 WITH A V8 THAT I PLAY AROUND WITH,GOTTA STAY YOUNG AT HEART,EVEN AT 50 YEARS OLD,BUT WITH A LAST NAME LIKE MINE ,I ALWAYS GET TO ACT LIKE A KIDD.
I honestly wasted my time the last few weeks looking through channels that are this informative. This video helped me more than the last 6 or 7 I've watched
oldskool, I recommend that anybody driving a civic or accord with over 100k go to ebay and buy a cheap used fuel pump and distributor and keep it in the trunk in case of emergencies. Might also want to carry a 12dc soldering iron for the main relay. I carried a used fuel pump in my accord and one day my car died on the freeway. Took me 10min to swap it out . Very easy to swap fuel pumps on the 6th gen honda accord and it is very easy to swap out a distributor on them. All you really need is a 1/4 drive ratchet, 6" extension and a 8mm and 12mm socket to do both jobs. You don't even have to put all of the screw in, just put in one for the distributor and two or three on the fuel pump then put the rest on when you get home.
Thanks for your words of encouragement. You are a true man of God and your faith is strong. The world needs to hear more voices like yours. God has a plan for you far bigger and greater than anything you have ever imagined.
I have such a profound respect for you. I don't believe in God but your preaches always hit home in some way. Your extra step near the end to explain in full how everything worked within that distributor makes these videos so much more valuable than anywhere else on TH-cam. Keep doing what you doing man, I respect you like I do my own father.
Huge fan here, just wanted to let you guys know you're awesome! 20 years of age here (21 in a few months), I own a car that's a few months older than me ('95 Opel Tigra 1.4) and your tutorials have been a HUGE help! P.S Glad to see your daughter helping you out, being into cars and all, she seems stunning -- both on the inside and on the outside! It's snowing heavily in here and I sadly don't have a garage, so I have postponed most of the things I'm gonna be doing. Soon as snow melts down, I'm changing the timing belt, water pump, flushing the cooling system and changing the fuel filter. Car has some mayo on the oil cap (slightly), which kinda worries me, but it could be due to it being driven for like 10 miles in total in the last 3 months (been helping my family with almost everything I make at work, spent whatever was left on the car parts, no gas money).. Battery is dead from me rarely driving it in the past few months and the -15c temps outside, so I'm charging it tomorrow and taking her out for a two-hour drive around the city, will see if the mayo cleans up. God bless!
Scanner Danner not trying to thread jack, but, my Civic 1996 has messed up starting. May I make a video on my TheJCorbi82 channel (I need to re-do my channel too, when I get a computer I will) to show what is doing what, with it?
Hey bro, i like fix things but i dont know much. You are a good teacher. Trust me. Wish i was near you so i could learn from you. Thumps up.good video.
Orlando T Your absolutely right, My bad, I tend to forget to add the basics I will add an annotation to the video thanks for bringing that up it is very important steps.
I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and wisdom. I am definitely a person who tries to fix things myself because I definitely don't have money to throw around. I can relate to you because I ran the streets and banged and hustled but who changed my life once I had daughters. And my brother in law grew up doing mechanic work from a young age and he showed me a lot of things throughout my life. And its been 2 years since he passed and I've done a lot of work on my a used truck that i just bought that has issues; but other neighbors in my neighborhood who I see need help and fix their vehicles. And I appreciate you speaking the word of Jesus Christ, because its always at a time when I need to hear it. God Bless
Thank you for keeping us away from thieves dealership and auto shop charging hundreds and thousand for simple problem. You’re a big help to all diy’ers and trying to save money. Also for the message in life.preaise the lord. Hallelujah. God bless you brother.🙏🏽🙏🏽
I needed this video. I don’t want to spend $200 to replace my whole distributor. I love it that you have a girl helping you that looks like she knows what she is doing. Which helps my confidence lol love it! Thank you
I had a warped head and I fixed it watching one of your videos the car is running now whit no problems because I resurfaced the head the old school like in you video god bless u man
The deal is YOU are a mechanic. The kids at a shop now don't know and don't care. No spark just change the distributer bingo 700bucks. When I grew up I learned how to rebuild an alternator, starter or anything. God Bless keep teaching those kids. Tom
You are the kind of teacher I hope to some day be. I developed a passion for Mechanics when my uncles car broke down. His worry for his car became my motivation to figure out how to fix his car. I was clueless when I started because I had no one to guide me accept the Holy Spirit. I probably watched hundreds of you tube videos before I attempted to tackle the job. When I finally pieced it all together I felt like a man. Oldskool Funk your personality reminds me so much of my older brother whose locked up right now. I look at you and I think to myself.. (This is what my brother could have been if he would have applied himself) I Thank God for your life and for the generous information you give through your videos. How I wish my dad would have walked me through fixing cars the way you do with your daughter. If God wills Ill be starting school in Aug 21, 2017. I hope to someday be the kind of Mechanic you are. One who always puts God first and shares the good news. May God continue to bless you with that wisdom that can only be given to whom God pleases to give it to. ("If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men liberally, and reproaches not; and it shall be given him." James 5:1) And for all your heaters out there.. Heres a quote that they can chew on. It is my reminder to always attempt doing difficult challenges even if it means running the risk of messing up big time. "Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat." -Theodore Roosevelt God Bless Bro!
Young man you are the bomb. You have the heart of a teacher and you should be sharing it with the world on a daily basis. I stumbled on to this channel by accident. I count myself fortunate for my good luck. Go teach and make the world better. Thank you.
I fixed my 1998 Honda Civic Ex using the same troubleshooting in this video. I watched several of your other videos too just out of curiosity and I think you're doing great stuff. I replaced my ignition coil (extremely weak spark) with a non-OEM part ($15) and replaced the distributor cap and rotor with OEM parts (about $30 each) because there was noticeable wear (expected since they're 23 years old). Thanks again for the video... it helped me do my first home car repair!
Brother, I love you in the Lord, thank you for your message and your word. Well received, thank you and may our Father continue to move in and through you.
Oldskool - you make the factory trained guys that couldn't fix my car look like clowns. They were nice enough to let me pay them to install a part that didn't fix the problem! Thank you for the video!
thanks brother for sharing God to the world!! he used you to talk to me ,I am a man of God and I am thankful for seeing the different ways he talks to us.I am asking God to keep you safe and strong so you can keep doing his will. God speed
19:49 Excellent diagram and classroom instruction for the coil. Your diagnostic on the coil windings is going to help a lot of people. God bless you brother.
Realest talk I'ever heard! Very truthful and inspiring talk about the children. Keeep pressing on with those needy life advice; especially your kids aiding you on your grammer. So touching and humbling... both children and Dad should be proud!! Never too late for a shower of rain. Great video overall.
Hey Brother I can’t believe anyone is hating on your videos. You are a real “ good guy” you are so enthusiastic I can hear it in your voice. And thank you fir not just showing us the super basic stuff. Yeah it hard and complicated and you may have to push yourself to do a diagnostic like this but if you don’t have a $100 fir a tow and another $150 fir the diagnostic then the the $500, $600 or more to have the part replaced then you can figure it out and fix it for $20 part. School should be taught like this .... nothing like an $800 bill or a $20 part to make me wake up and pay attention up, to the class. My buddy is having this exact problem we will fix it this weekend for $20-$40 for the part. You’re awesome, the haters are not paying attention I think. Nothing but good info here . Thank you sir 😁👍
God has a plan, watching your videos was part of it, earlier today I've found the starter motor bolt that I was looking for 13 months ago, but now looks like the almighty wants me to start again on my 80 series land cruiser which the starter bolt fell out of. THANX BROTHER....
Amen Brother! We are called to be salt and light to our environment (family, friends, co-workers anyone we come in contact with. Praise God for your words of encouragement and exhortation. All the way from The Bahamas
I have to say wow. You are very inspiring sir. I like the way you think and work absolutely amazingly good work. Thanks for you're warped head instructions. I learned so much from that episode. Really a great teacher.
Your blessed brotha, keep going 🙏🙌💪💯👏,GOD definitely has his hands on you,, I'm learning so much from you, you inspired me to work on cars again, just go fired 2 days ago and I'm tired of the revolving doors, I think God wants me to work for myself but I'm praying on it I need to make sue that's what he wants me too do....#Godisgoodallthetime#
Listen to this guy, he knows his shit. You go to most shops and they will replace the whole distributor for a shit ton of $$ so they don't have to use their brains. Only a few shops like SMA will actually try to fix the part if possible. Kudos to you oldskool! You have got me going to fixing my own stuff now, not only cars. Thank you!
Thank you brother. This is an awesome tutorial and it is really kind of you to create it. Five years later in the middle of a pandemic a friend got ripped off for the same issue. A mechanic charged her $600 for a distributor cap, spark plugs and to change the valve cover gasket and didn't fix it! The engine still starts for now. Hopefully, now I can pay it forward and get the job done.
This is a priceless video for youtube mechanics like me. I had a no start. I tested for compression and could see the fuel injectors pulsing, like you show. I could see no spark. I got a new distributor although I suspect only the ignitor was fried. Anyway it started right up, surprising me how fast. This is the hardest car problem I've fixed! Thanks!!!!
I hate to keep commenting on all your videos but I gotta say, you are THE TOP mechanic on youtube. I have seen several videos from other content creators and you by far are the most informative and knowledgeable mechanic I have ever seen. Most mechanics are SHIT at troubleshooting and diagnosing issues. They just replace parts until they "fix" the issue.
My friend my english is the worst, but with your excellent video and explanation, I was able to understand the operation of ignition and ignite my car, greetings from Colombia.
Thank you! I will get to check my distributor on 97 Civic one time this year. But this start issue is something, nothing ever goes smoothly. My knowledge is the knowledge God given me and those whom taught me or I asked for help. This video is great and informative all the way. When I get it fixed it will be on the road for my mom after she gets a newer vehicle. It's my new toy to fix-up and I will be back.
Greetings brother !!! THANK YOU !!! Thank you for the dillagence in explaining the Civic issue ! I also have a starting problem with our 1992 Honda Civic...We went for the cap, rotor and module but with no avail...Will be trying another issue...perhaps the computer! The Civic has 300K+ miles on her and NEVER gave us any trouble...Ongoing with our trouble ! Thanks again for the EXCELLENT work !
wish you were my neighbor..i could use your help/ advice with my camry not starting..but thanks to you and others here im learning a lot.I may still have to have taken to a mechanic but at least I have more wisdom now.Thanks for the great videos..God bless.
I'm glad I found your video's I learn so much from you. You inspire me into setting goal's and getting into working on cars but mainly pushing my self to doing something I never did before.. thank you for the video's hope you keep more coming ..
Thank you for this video! I'm chasing down a no start issue with my prelude, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate how you broke down the symptoms and succession of troubleshooting.
The reason it didnt fire up at first was because ya disconnected your fuel line. The small fire up at first was probly all the old fuel from carb cleaner and dry starts, if ya would of primed our pump a few times before trying to start, i bet it would of fired up first shot... I got my tech certificate from UTI orlando back in 07 and have been working on cars my whole life.. I got mad respect for you brother, love your vids keep it up God bless brother..
Sur!!! First and foremost, this was an outstanding vehicle evaluation video!!! Period!! Hands Down!!!!! BRAVO!!!! Being Old School myself as well, I really appreciate what you have spoken and demonstrated in this footage!! However, in my opinion, there are certain times that saving money may nit be the most important factor. Case in point, as you know, particularly in high mileage vehicles say like the Honda Civic there, when one part or component stops working, soon after another part in the same location or in the unit like that distributor goes up as well then, the vehicle is down or stops working again. Then one has to have fix once more because the unit or associated component or components stop working. I believe in be cost minded but I also believe in eliminating a potential future break down as well. I like to give the choice to the vehicle owner. Because, I have known and even experienced myself, having a vehicle like that just die right in traffic without any prior warning!! Great Possibility for Harm!! In Once, complete and Done!! I choose to replace the unit if at all possible with a New one!! Great Instructional Footage!! Please Keep Up The Great Work!!!!!
Very clarified,direct and full of cohesion am an aspiring mechanic and i find your videos easy to understand and very helpful ,love the bible verses and the positive sermons too,keep up the good work oldskool funk
Great video and advice for all growing-up kids. Thanks for sharing your vision of Christ. God Bless you brother. You are a great example of how to take charge of your life and be useful in this world. Way to go!!
Thank you for all of your videos they're a great resource , and just wanted to add on that while I do agree that you should not let your kids stay inside the house all day , and that physical activity is imperative for a healthy upbringing , sometimes the creativity of the kids can be manifested in activities that would require you to stay inside. I was blessed to have such a great dad that realized my knack for computers and everything related to them , he fostered my creativity and even educated himself in various computer languages, and had previous circuitry experience(he's an electrical engineer) , in order to teach me and stay relevant in my 'vision' , so just remember that sometimes children can develop productive skills in a household environment.
I stumbled upon this video looking for an answer to my issue with my 96-98 civic. i'm going to try out these methods tonight hopefully i could find the problem. Thanks Oldskool!
Great videos dude. the difference with your vids is that you actually break it down in simple terms and teach people the Basics of Auto diagnostics. Keep up the the Great Work!
Excellent tutorial and pep talk young man...I really appreciate the fact that you don't talk down to your viewers but rather relay your message in down to earth regular terms...you give me confidence not only to save money by repairing my own car but also on tackling those sometimes difficult life's situations that we all encounter... thank you for sharing...peace...
Stumbled onto your channel while looking for 97 Honda Civic no start issues. Thank you for this video as it has helped me tremendously. So, I subscribed!!! Thanks again my man!! Keep it up.
Why would anyone dislike this video ? This man is giving away FREE diagnostics tips and he’s giving advice on how he parents his children. I honestly can’t see why someone would Dislike this mans video.
8 year old video and still helping me today with my 1998 honda civic. Same problems . thank😊 you.
Brother I gotta say not a religious man too many bad things happened for me to believe in anything . But you sir made me stop and take stock . I ain’t there yet but you got me closer than any other person in the last 40 years. You are unapologetically living your life with purpose. Your presentation is pretty hard to ignore. Thanks I’m stunned 40 years walking one direction watch one car repair video and I find myself doing a 180 and jogging the other direction. You are impressive sir. Keep up the good work 🙏🏻
Message to the Haters: Whenever someone criticizes you they are telling you their story NOT YOURS. Some people give up real easy and loose the drive to carry through. They try, they GIVE UP then develop a false perception about it or anything similar. The sad thing about some haters is that they ASSUME and never try because they have already sabotaged their abilities and have SET LIMITATIONS ON THEM SELVES then try to impose THEIR OWN LIMITATIONS (ON YOU). Be careful who you let influence you, some people are positive and full of encouragement and some are full of negativity, LIMITATIONS and POISON. When I pursue any task I do it with 1000% PASSION & EFFORT and I dont let anybody tell me I CANT or STOP ME, YOU DO THE SAME and Keep on SMASHIN IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME!
So much truth in this message.
oldskool funk thanks man I been learning a lot from you I wish you could be near to help me to fix my car
this advice also applies to having people discourage you when you are trying to start a business and become an entrepreneur
oldskool funk from an atheist, I can truly respect what you are preaching. I am a succesful family man looking out for my shorties (with my own deamons), trying the best that I can, and even though my religious beliefs don't align with yours, I can truly respect your point of view. Live righteously, contribute to humanity, and pass it on to better us all. Right on brah!
oldskool funk dude with the guidance from your videos I believe I can fix my Honda Civic myself , thanks bro..! ✊🏾
ATTN Subscribers: Would you like me to make a video on how I get free repair manual information that is far batter than the Haynes manuals? Schematics, diagnostic flow chart procedures etc. MITCHELL PRO DEMAND? let me know and I will show you all exactly how I do it.
+oldskool funk YES!
+oldskool funk why does this not have more thumbs up??? common funk man how do we get in on that?!?
+oldskool funk Yes, sir, please--that would be much appreciated. May Elohim continue to bless you.
+oldskool funk Sounds cool, go for it bro
At 8:54 into the video take those readings and check your pick up sensors, check your crank shaft position sensor resistance ( sensor is located on the side of the crank shaft pulley) those will effect injector pulse. I would try those first.
Oldschool Funk kills it! His video about fixing a Civic that won't start, was amazing. My son and I were able to troubleshoot and repair his car because of Oldschool's comprehensive instruction. It was especially helpful how he walked us through the troubleshooting process, which allowed us to narrow down and eliminate the possible causes of the problem. Our issue turned out to be the coil, which was not the issue in his video but, he had shown us how a coil works, how to test it, and that steered us in the right direction. I had never messed with an electrical problem before. This was the best car repair video I've ever watched. If you're ever down in San Diego I'd love to buy you a cold one. Thanks bro!
Stephen Rawdin he lives in San Diego.
Yes I got it with this video too.
Morning brother..
Love the videos, old school troubleshooting always... I'm a Electrical Engineer by education... I work on residential electrical homes and systems...
Started working on cars,( as per demand per friends) and seeing your videos was able to finish some repairs quickly... Thank you .. Keep it up.

The heart of a teacher. Here's a guy who loves what he teaches. One of my favorite TH-cam channels. I've learned a lot. One day I'll vacation in southern California. And when I do, I have no interest in meeting some Hollywood star. But I do I want to shake this mans hand. Well done!
You're the manliest man I have ever seen on a video. I've only seen you in these videos, but I'd wager to guess that you are really good at being a father.
I only saw 3 of your videos and learned a lot... men!!! you are for real, FOR REAL, respect from Chile.
Great video again, you have a very effective communication skills I follow very easily when your instructing that's another God given talent thanks again!!! Much respect
TheGoodMechanic thats so true he communicates very clear and concise. Ive found alot of interest in this guy.
I've been watching your videos for the last 6 months and I have learnt
how to replace head gaskets(6), diagonise no start and now I'm learning
how to use the RMS digital voltmeter. You are the best bro, I hope to make
a living doing this in Jesus first. Keep 'em coming.
you're better than any other I have seen on TH-cam and on any ather site good for you invstment explanation are clear and understandatble especially for those who has no background in automotive industryI feel safer because of you fix it myselfwill continue to produce such beautiful Tutorials Thank you very muchDaniel
Nice video!! The ignition control module is is a transistor. It receives a small control voltage from the
Computer; it turns off and on a higher voltage/amperage to the coil. The coil uses this high/amps and converts it to high voltage low amperage. This high voltage creates the spark as the electrons jump across the spark plug gap.
Great I'm guessing academic studies in auto.
Loved this video, and I share the sentiment at the end. My father always had me working on things with him when I was a kid, even if I was just holding a light or handing him a tool. He has passed on now, and today I'm a grown mother of two. I learned to think and do for myself, there's nothing worse than being a helpless female. Respect yourselves, first, ladies. God bless.
this guy needs more subscribers
That entire video from beginning to end ministered (life) to me through your living: teaching auto mechanics, caring for your children, sharing your testimony...this is a normal Christian experience and is encouraging to see. I am reminded of a famous quote, "Preach the gospel at all times and speak words when necessary." Actually, both our living and our speaking the gospel are very necessary and critical, but the point is that I see that you are living and preaching the gospel. What a wonderful work the Lord objectively for us and subjectively in our experience to transform our living. Keep letting your light shine!
The Lord touched me when you talked about our leadership and appointment by the Lord. You nailed it. We need to lead others by our following the Lord. The Lord is the most amazing and wonderful person that I am privelidged to know. When we spend adequate time with Him in His Word, we get filled and cannot but speak the words of this life.
I was considering some of the comments about the "haters" that I read below. I thought about the "haters" during Jesus's time on earth, and they were there hating then too. I chucked because the haters are nothing new and will always be with us (I've learned a secret to keep from lettign them get to me is to pray for them ~ just to bless them and pray for their greatest possible good ~ doesn't our heavenly Father want this anyway, Thes or Tim 1:4-5, God desires all men to be saved and to come to the full knowledge of the truth). Anyway, I'd say the haters during the Lord's incarnation, human living, to crucifixion would be the religious Pharasees, and this is the group of men that were supposed to be leading me to God. Rather, as we know the story, they essentially caused the death of the Lord Jesus. That same group of haters told Peter and the early apostels to stop teaching the name of Jesus and that they killed the Lord, but their response was (paraphrasing here) whether we obey man or God, we must obey God and we cannot but speak the words of this life." And they surely continued in this way!
In fact, Stephen spoke until they stoned him to death. The coolest thing about his martyrdom was that the Bible says his face shone like and angel, and Stephen was praying for the ones killing him, just as the Lord prayed for His enemies on the cross...only God has that kind of power to forgive, so Stephen was surely mature in the divine life and ready to be taken by the Lord. I believe that the Bible says that the Lord Jesus was STANDING -- notice the detail here in this word. "Standing" and not "sitting" shows that the Lord was very concerned about what was happening to Stephen. The Lord really does care, especially for His believers/followers.
Keep speaking!!
I was always fascinated by the story of the death of Stephen. It struck me as so incredible I would imagine it in my mind to try and comprehend it. To think that he prayed for those killing him is revealing of what was in his heart (the spirit of God). Truly amazing and it impacted me and made me want to be like him which was to be Christ-like in nature. If we have the spirit of God in us we become united in the body of Christ and become one.
Your expert No Start video saved a friend of mine over $1200 compared to replacing all the ignition parts on his 2002 Civic at the local Honda dealer.ship May you receive inspiration everyday to continue this teaching....well done!
The best car-diagnosis anywhere.
What a heart you have my brother: Certainly an example to follow.
Many blessings for you and your family.
i like this guy, last 6 min were great, and the car fixing too.
CHRIST LIVE!! YOU ARE A TRUE SOLDIER OF GOD!! GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY MY BROTHER THE WORLD NEED MORE OF YOU!! TOGETHER IN JESUS MIGHTY NAME WE WILL SUCCEED.
Kenneth Williams AMEN BROTHER IN CHRIST. STAY SOLID AND CONTEND FOR THAT FAITH. GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY BROTHER KEEP JESUS CHRIST FIRST.
where can i contact you i need to know if you take job repairs i have a 2000 acura tl with multiple misfire code i want to see if you can fix it
I am a shade tree mechanic. Oldskool funk you have given me the confidence to become a master mechanic through God , your videos, and self confidence. THANKS,THANKS, THANKS.
And to all you young people you have to excuse to to succeed in life. There is unlimited information at your fingertips. I am doing it and I am age 52. I have learned to attack projects instead of fearing projects, that's how you learn anything, don't fear it. Everyone Go Get It. Peace
I've enjoyed your videos over the past 2 years. I like how you never stopped training yourself.
I know quite a bit about motors, but you still teach me quite a few good things. Thanks for the uploads. Great message also. Keep it up.
Yo bro this is great! Love your hands on teaching and preaching! Keep it up, praise YAH!
Solid gold, brother!! What a guy. Amen to every word... I came for car advice, but as I am a Christian and a father of five kids, I could not agree more!
6yrs later and I'm still utilizing this DIY. Bless up man
this video was awesome man! I bet dealerships are getting mad at you for teaching us regular folks this useful stuff!
These videos are made for the common man, and all the common men I know never take their car to the dealership. Too expensive.
You are awesome i love the way you teach and the way you spread the love of jesus.i bet you could build a performance engine out of a junk yard lol
I watched all your videos i just hope you keep them coming and god bless you my brother i know our heavenly father is proud of you
This guy is very smart, I did so much study and diagrams and this man fix everything in a video. 1 week of trouble shooting. Thank you so much.
Hey man, I am not a mechanic, I am not am not a father, I am not even religious, but I like you and believe that you are a great dad to your kids after hearing your final comments. I think you learned how to be a good guy after taking the “wrong” path. Thanks for your video and thanks again for being such a good role model for your children. Now, I have to see about my 2004 Honda Civic.
great info, I work on cars too, I though you where full of shit at first, but after watching more of your videos I got a whole lot more respect for you!!
being judgemental and stereotyping will do that to someone who assumes after the first glance.
never saw an igniter fail that way. nice dude
ScannerDanner Ya me to, I found out they either fail on or fail off. Thanks for the channel suggestion and all you do to help us all, Stay ARMOURED UP in Christ.
Good lesson, thanks! What if you don't have a distributor on suzuki grandvitara 2010 no distributor, what would do to diagnose?
The pure self in the play we call existence gets identified with the person, then it has some affection for what i call the 'infection', then it deeply believes its a person becoming a victim of fear, sorrow, anger betrayal, disappointment; a tortured life is lived because it see the world as objects not the 'one', as subject.
To walk in the forest of mind is a very unstable place. Be bold and courageously, say "I am" the self". To allow yourself to be distracted or tricked or seduced or resist the source and center of your divine being is because we have an invested value in the illusion or concept, of fully identifying as a person of power, control, dominance and superiority. We have become accustomed to living in affliction, limitation and fear.
I am not asking you to perform some spiritual gymnastics. Just quietly within your own being , allow my words to point you to the place, that you can never not be.
Once, in contact there, never give up! When the mind's resistance comes, it is because you are on to something. Your attention has turned inwardly towards the source of the universe.Once you have tasted this delicious fruit, you can never go back to the life of a person, with a micro chip, a robot, a mechanical automaton, that was once human living with turmoil with disregard for creation, killing, taking, eating and shitting aiding and abating the elite in their dirty inquisitor work to take over our planet given as a gift freely by infinite intelliegence, for the evolution of the human-beings. Resist this evil diabolical conspiracy against you, nature, and God.
The beauty and magnitude of God, you will see not as object but as subject. We are to busy fulfilling our own projections, so we don't see this ultimate reality of the divine, within every human-being. This makes our minds open to the auto sugestion of others.
We are all vulnerable to the powers of persuasion, leverage and organized materialism, deception and group mania; and the madness of an immoral military, in Spain, Greece, Germany, Italy and France; then, the United States of America is next.This has now become the diabolical mission of the elite trillionaires, a one world government and religion by force and threat of death, in their "New World Oder," prefabricated for us to remain forever slaves in obligated servitude, for these dominant devils, who mock the divine creation of God; and manipulated you all, into giving up your constitutional freedoms and liberties.
The reluctant warrior is always interested in serving mankind not fighting wars, where soldiers kill innocent women and children suffering from a suicidal post traumatic stress syndrome, when blindly following orders, from the industrial military complex, who empower young men to enjoy killing people without questioning the insane authorities, that harbour its objectives with pay and rewards.
Many young vulnerable soldiers must become aware, that their insecurities comes from a deep need to be loved, validated as strong man. The protectors, of your families, wife and children and pets yet the Military enmeshes its self into these invisible needs with authority, they break you down and rebuild you up throwing at you a piece of meat to begin the process of changing your values and principals to a reward system manipulating your lower self esteem and creating a super monster wounded underneath; a mega-lo maniac, who needs to suck on the breast of an evil and iniquitous government, which our Constitution says, "We The People Must Take Arms Against It".
Now, you know why, through out history, they have taken your guns and rifles away. Your own government, does not care for their soldiers; they are collateral damage; a label placed to avoid feeling and caring for its people and soldiers. They manufacture the lie, have used the lied to deceive our military and get away with it; because Generals, have been bought and paid for, financing wars, from both sides knowing the outcome a head of time and enjoying the spoils of war; the wealth of others, stolen from grand parents, in foreign countries, after the blitzes creed massacrer, of that population, then investing the spoils in corporate companies, that return a dividend making the wealth grow forever. These company's, who were, also in on the deal to take over, a countries resources and paying private armies to slaughter your blood lines and genes from the face of the earth. Hiring good people to do their dirty work and operate their machines. This is called progress and we too are deceived by this propaganda.
Tell me reluctant warrior, what will you not do!
Remember, "You are the resistance" by Alex Jones. Recognize the truth!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
LOVE YOUR MOTTO,I WISH MORE PEOPLE WOULD GO BY THAT. MINE IS "AINT NOTHING TO IT,BUT TO DO IT,AND IT AINT GONNA DO IT BY ITSELF,SO LETS GET AFTER IT" " WORK HARD,STAY HUMBLE" I'M HAVING PROBLEMS WITH MY SON'S HONDA,FOUND A BRAND NEW DISTRIBUTOR ON EBAY FOR $58 HOPING THAT SOLVES HIS PROBLEM. HE ONLY HAS CLOSE TO 400K ON THE POOR CAR,THOSE HONDA'S ARE SOMETHING ELSE AS FAR AS LASTING FOREVER.WHEN WE BOUGHT IT,IT HAD 220K AND SINCE THEN WE FOUND OUT IT ACTUALLY HAD CLOSER TO 300K AND HE HAS DROVE THAT CAR EVERYWHERE. 5 DIFFERENT STATES AND UNTIL NOW,THIS WAS THE FIRST TIME IT HAD TO BE TOWED HOME.KEEP UP WITH THE GOOD WORD OF GOD ABOVE AND GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY. THANK YOU FOR SHARING YOUR SKILLS WITH US.KEEP KICKING IT OLD SKOOL,WE ARE GETTING TO BE A DYING BREED. I HAVE A S10 WITH A V8 THAT I PLAY AROUND WITH,GOTTA STAY YOUNG AT HEART,EVEN AT 50 YEARS OLD,BUT WITH A LAST NAME LIKE MINE ,I ALWAYS GET TO ACT LIKE A KIDD.
I honestly wasted my time the last few weeks looking through channels that are this informative. This video helped me more than the last 6 or 7 I've watched
oldskool, I recommend that anybody driving a civic or accord with over 100k go to ebay and buy a cheap used fuel pump and distributor and keep it in the trunk in case of emergencies. Might also want to carry a 12dc soldering iron for the main relay.
I carried a used fuel pump in my accord and one day my car died on the freeway. Took me 10min to swap it out . Very easy to swap fuel pumps on the 6th gen honda accord and it is very easy to swap out a distributor on them. All you really need is a 1/4 drive ratchet, 6" extension and a 8mm and 12mm socket to do both jobs. You don't even have to put all of the screw in, just put in one for the distributor and two or three on the fuel pump then put the rest on when you get home.
Ya I know about those main relays also. I was going to mention that but I forgot lol
Dios te bendiga tu estas compartiendo la manera correcta de hacer lo mejor para vivir en paz i amor
Thanks for your words of encouragement. You are a true man of God and your faith is strong. The world needs to hear more voices like yours. God has a plan for you far bigger and greater than anything you have ever imagined.
I have such a profound respect for you. I don't believe in God but your preaches always hit home in some way. Your extra step near the end to explain in full how everything worked within that distributor makes these videos so much more valuable than anywhere else on TH-cam.
Keep doing what you doing man, I respect you like I do my own father.
hell forget the repairs this is entertaining
Another great film thanks !
Not only do you explain clearly, you also got the art skills!!!
Huge fan here, just wanted to let you guys know you're awesome!
20 years of age here (21 in a few months), I own a car that's a few months older than me ('95 Opel Tigra 1.4) and your tutorials have been a HUGE help!
P.S Glad to see your daughter helping you out, being into cars and all, she seems stunning -- both on the inside and on the outside!
It's snowing heavily in here and I sadly don't have a garage, so I have postponed most of the things I'm gonna be doing. Soon as snow melts down, I'm changing the timing belt, water pump, flushing the cooling system and changing the fuel filter. Car has some mayo on the oil cap (slightly), which kinda worries me, but it could be due to it being driven for like 10 miles in total in the last 3 months (been helping my family with almost everything I make at work, spent whatever was left on the car parts, no gas money).. Battery is dead from me rarely driving it in the past few months and the -15c temps outside, so I'm charging it tomorrow and taking her out for a two-hour drive around the city, will see if the mayo cleans up.
God bless!
A channel suggestion. Create some playlists bro. It helps people find your content better. I'll help you if you need it.
Scanner Danner not trying to thread jack, but, my Civic 1996 has messed up starting. May I make a video on my TheJCorbi82 channel (I need to re-do my channel too, when I get a computer I will) to show what is doing what, with it?
+TheJCorbi82 sure man, post it to my channel when your done
Hey bro, i like fix things but i dont know much. You are a good teacher. Trust me. Wish i was near you so i could learn from you. Thumps up.good video.
You forgot the most important thing to check man..... CHECK ALL FUSES FIRST!!!! Then relays..
Orlando T Your absolutely right, My bad, I tend to forget to add the basics I will add an annotation to the video thanks for bringing that up it is very important steps.
Here from Venezuela ,I am very gratefull .I have found all the solution to my Honda civic 2000 ;thanks a lot of.And GOD BLESS YOU!!!!!
I appreciate you sharing your knowledge and wisdom. I am definitely a person who tries to fix things myself because I definitely don't have money to throw around. I can relate to you because I ran the streets and banged and hustled but who changed my life once I had daughters. And my brother in law grew up doing mechanic work from a young age and he showed me a lot of things throughout my life. And its been 2 years since he passed and I've done a lot of work on my a used truck that i just bought that has issues; but other neighbors in my neighborhood who I see need help and fix their vehicles. And I appreciate you speaking the word of Jesus Christ, because its always at a time when I need to hear it. God Bless
god bless brother amen
Thank you for keeping us away from thieves dealership and auto shop charging hundreds and thousand for simple problem. You’re a big help to all diy’ers and trying to save money. Also for the message in life.preaise the lord. Hallelujah. God bless you brother.🙏🏽🙏🏽
I needed this video. I don’t want to spend $200 to replace my whole distributor. I love it that you have a girl helping you that looks like she knows what she is doing. Which helps my confidence lol love it! Thank you
I had a warped head and I fixed it watching one of your videos the car is running now whit no problems because I resurfaced the head the old school like in you video god bless u man
The deal is YOU are a mechanic. The kids at a shop now don't know and don't care. No spark just change the distributer bingo 700bucks.
When I grew up I learned how to rebuild an alternator, starter or anything.
God Bless keep teaching those kids.
Tom
You are the kind of teacher I hope to some day be. I developed a passion for Mechanics when my uncles car broke down. His worry for his car became my motivation to figure out how to fix his car. I was clueless when I started because I had no one to guide me accept the Holy Spirit. I probably watched hundreds of you tube videos before I attempted to tackle the job. When I finally pieced it all together I felt like a man. Oldskool Funk your personality reminds me so much of my older brother whose locked up right now. I look at you and I think to myself.. (This is what my brother could have been if he would have applied himself) I Thank God for your life and for the generous information you give through your videos. How I wish my dad would have walked me through fixing cars the way you do with your daughter. If God wills Ill be starting school in Aug 21, 2017. I hope to someday be the kind of Mechanic you are. One who always puts God first and shares the good news. May God continue to bless you with that wisdom that can only be given to whom God pleases to give it to. ("If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all men liberally, and reproaches not; and it shall be given him." James 5:1) And for all your heaters out there.. Heres a quote that they can chew on. It is my reminder to always attempt doing difficult challenges even if it means running the risk of messing up big time. "Far better is it to dare mighty things, to win glorious triumphs, even though checkered by failure... than to rank with those poor spirits who neither enjoy nor suffer much, because they live in a gray twilight that knows not victory nor defeat." -Theodore Roosevelt God Bless Bro!
I'm just a weekend mechanic but its inspiring to watch your no B.S. and straight to the fact videos.
Young man you are the bomb. You have the heart of a teacher and you should be sharing it with the world on a daily basis. I stumbled on to this channel by accident. I count myself fortunate for my good luck. Go teach and make the world better. Thank you.
I fixed my 1998 Honda Civic Ex using the same troubleshooting in this video. I watched several of your other videos too just out of curiosity and I think you're doing great stuff. I replaced my ignition coil (extremely weak spark) with a non-OEM part ($15) and replaced the distributor cap and rotor with OEM parts (about $30 each) because there was noticeable wear (expected since they're 23 years old). Thanks again for the video... it helped me do my first home car repair!
Brother, I love you in the Lord, thank you for your message and your word. Well received, thank you and may our Father continue to move in and through you.
Oldskool - you make the factory trained guys that couldn't fix my car look like clowns. They were nice enough to let me pay them to install a part that didn't fix the problem!
Thank you for the video!
thanks for you videos it's hard find a honest mecanic that really know what he do
thanks brother for sharing God to the world!! he used you to talk to me ,I am a man of God and I am thankful for seeing the different ways he talks to us.I am asking God to keep you safe and strong so you can keep doing his will. God speed
19:49 Excellent diagram and classroom instruction for the coil. Your diagnostic on the coil windings is going to help a lot of people. God bless you brother.
Realest talk I'ever heard! Very truthful and inspiring talk about the children. Keeep pressing on with those needy life advice; especially your kids aiding you on your grammer. So touching and humbling... both children and Dad should be proud!! Never too late for a shower of rain. Great video overall.
Hey Brother I can’t believe anyone is hating on your videos. You are a real “ good guy” you are so enthusiastic I can hear it in your voice. And thank you fir not just showing us the super basic stuff. Yeah it hard and complicated and you may have to push yourself to do a diagnostic like this but if you don’t have a $100 fir a tow and another $150 fir the diagnostic then the the $500, $600 or more to have the part replaced then you can figure it out and fix it for $20 part. School should be taught like this .... nothing like an $800 bill or a $20 part to make me wake up and pay attention up, to the class. My buddy is having this exact problem we will fix it this weekend for $20-$40 for the part. You’re awesome, the haters are not paying attention I think. Nothing but good info here .
Thank you sir 😁👍
Was only gonna watch a minute or two of this video. Captivated me til the end!!
Thank you!! Never expected it would be the ICU. Now my civic 95 is running again. God bless brother!
God has a plan, watching your videos was part of it, earlier today I've found the starter motor bolt that I was looking for 13 months ago, but now looks like the almighty wants me to start again on my 80 series land cruiser which the starter bolt fell out of. THANX BROTHER....
Man this video is like gold , a real world approach to fixing complex problems . Great job man
Absolutely the best video I’ve found all day about the distributor troubleshooting. Thank you and God bless
Amen Brother! We are called to be salt and light to our environment (family, friends, co-workers anyone we come in contact with. Praise God for your words of encouragement and exhortation. All the way from The Bahamas
I have to say wow. You are very inspiring sir. I like the way you think and work absolutely amazingly good work. Thanks for you're warped head instructions. I learned so much from that episode. Really a great teacher.
Your blessed brotha, keep going 🙏🙌💪💯👏,GOD definitely has his hands on you,, I'm learning so much from you, you inspired me to work on cars again, just go fired 2 days ago and I'm tired of the revolving doors, I think God wants me to work for myself but I'm praying on it I need to make sue that's what he wants me too do....#Godisgoodallthetime#
Thank you for your inspiring words! I accidentally came upon your video and was touched by the message of hope and faith you shared.
I believe it is great that you are teaching a younger generation . I flowed you video on timing belt replace it was great
Thank you and God bless
Listen to this guy, he knows his shit. You go to most shops and they will replace the whole distributor for a shit ton of $$ so they don't have to use their brains. Only a few shops like SMA will actually try to fix the part if possible. Kudos to you oldskool! You have got me going to fixing my own stuff now, not only cars. Thank you!
Thank you brother. This is an awesome tutorial and it is really kind of you to create it. Five years later in the middle of a pandemic a friend got ripped off for the same issue. A mechanic charged her $600 for a distributor cap, spark plugs and to change the valve cover gasket and didn't fix it! The engine still starts for now. Hopefully, now I can pay it forward and get the job done.
You are among the best of the car surgeons out 👨🏽⚕️ there truly a specialist in your field👨🏽🔧🚗
This is a priceless video for youtube mechanics like me. I had a no start. I tested for compression and could see the fuel injectors pulsing, like you show. I could see no spark. I got a new distributor although I suspect only the ignitor was fried. Anyway it started right up, surprising me how fast. This is the hardest car problem I've fixed! Thanks!!!!
I hate to keep commenting on all your videos but I gotta say, you are THE TOP mechanic on youtube. I have seen several videos from other content creators and you by far are the most informative and knowledgeable mechanic I have ever seen. Most mechanics are SHIT at troubleshooting and diagnosing issues. They just replace parts until they "fix" the issue.
My friend my english is the worst, but with your excellent video and explanation, I was able to understand the operation of ignition and ignite my car, greetings from Colombia.
I am glad that I watched this video for two reasons; one my car and the great message at the end. Amen
Thank you!
I will get to check my distributor on 97 Civic one time this year.
But this start issue is something, nothing ever goes smoothly. My knowledge is the knowledge God given me and those whom taught me or I asked for help. This video is great and informative all the way. When I get it fixed it will be on the road for my mom after she gets a newer vehicle. It's my new toy to fix-up and I will be back.
Greetings brother !!! THANK YOU !!! Thank you for the dillagence in explaining the Civic issue ! I also have a starting problem with our 1992 Honda Civic...We went for the cap, rotor and module but with no avail...Will be trying another issue...perhaps the computer! The Civic has 300K+ miles on her and NEVER gave us any trouble...Ongoing with our trouble ! Thanks again for the EXCELLENT work !
wish you were my neighbor..i could use your help/ advice with my camry not starting..but thanks to you and others here im learning a lot.I may still have to have taken to a mechanic but at least I have more wisdom now.Thanks for the great videos..God bless.
Spark for dummies. Thanks man for the cardboard drawing at the end. Helped a lot to really get what's going on. Thanks
I'm glad I found your video's I learn so much from you. You inspire me into setting goal's and getting into working on cars but mainly pushing my self to doing something I never did before.. thank you for the video's hope you keep more coming ..
Man I just got to say all your videos are excellent; I'm learning more and more each time as a young mechanic.
Thank you for this video! I'm chasing down a no start issue with my prelude, and I can't tell you how much I appreciate how you broke down the symptoms and succession of troubleshooting.
The reason it didnt fire up at first was because ya disconnected your fuel line. The small fire up at first was probly all the old fuel from carb cleaner and dry starts, if ya would of primed our pump a few times before trying to start, i bet it would of fired up first shot... I got my tech certificate from UTI orlando back in 07 and have been working on cars my whole life.. I got mad respect for you brother, love your vids keep it up God bless brother..
First time on TH-cam someone is real about cars. Awesome God bless keep it up I can use the information.
We need MORE people like You ..... Thank You .
Your a GOOD MEN
GOD BLESS YOU & YOUR FAMILY...
Sur!!! First and foremost, this was an outstanding vehicle evaluation video!!! Period!! Hands Down!!!!! BRAVO!!!! Being Old School myself as well, I really appreciate what you have spoken and demonstrated in this footage!! However, in my opinion, there are certain times that saving money may nit be the most important factor. Case in point, as you know, particularly in high mileage vehicles say like the Honda Civic there, when one part or component stops working, soon after another part in the same location or in the unit like that distributor goes up as well then, the vehicle is down or stops working again. Then one has to have fix once more because the unit or associated component or components stop working. I believe in be cost minded but I also believe in eliminating a potential future break down as well. I like to give the choice to the vehicle owner. Because, I have known and even experienced myself, having a vehicle like that just die right in traffic without any prior warning!! Great Possibility for Harm!! In Once, complete and Done!! I choose to replace the unit if at all possible with a New one!! Great Instructional Footage!! Please Keep Up The Great Work!!!!!
Very clarified,direct and full of cohesion am an aspiring mechanic and i find your videos easy to understand and very helpful ,love the bible verses and the positive sermons too,keep up the good work oldskool funk

Great video and advice for all growing-up kids. Thanks for sharing your vision of Christ. God Bless you brother. You are a great example of how to take charge of your life and be useful in this world. Way to go!!
oldskool funk you're a genuine human being a genius at heart and in the mind and my own personal savour when it comes to cars God bless you brother
Thank you for all of your videos they're a great resource , and just wanted to add on that while I do agree that you should not let your kids stay inside the house all day , and that physical activity is imperative for a healthy upbringing , sometimes the creativity of the kids can be manifested in activities that would require you to stay inside. I was blessed to have such a great dad that realized my knack for computers and everything related to them , he fostered my creativity and even educated himself in various computer languages, and had previous circuitry experience(he's an electrical engineer) , in order to teach me and stay relevant in my 'vision' , so just remember that sometimes children can develop productive skills in a household environment.
I stumbled upon this video looking for an answer to my issue with my 96-98 civic. i'm going to try out these methods tonight hopefully i could find the problem. Thanks Oldskool!
Great videos dude. the difference with your vids is that you actually break it down in simple terms and teach people the Basics of Auto diagnostics. Keep up the the Great Work!
Excellent tutorial and pep talk young man...I really appreciate the fact that you don't talk down to your viewers but rather relay your message in down to earth regular terms...you give me confidence not only to save money by repairing my own car but also on tackling those sometimes difficult life's situations that we all encounter... thank you for sharing...peace...
