Scotty Kilmer common sense 😂👍🏼
Scotty Kilmer You are a blessing to us all Scotty!
Wait, hold on a second. You have a link to where we can get a pressure gauge, but no link on where we can get the common sense. Where the heck am I supposed to get that from?😕
Scotty i always find you helpful in all aspect of car repair. you're like a car guru
Rev up your engines!
Great job
Scotty, I love that you show the pics corresponding with what you're saying. They are hilarious! Not sure how much it slows you down during editing but it's worth it. They are hilariously entertaining and they don't distract from what you're saying. Love you, Scotty!
Revv up your hesitating car! 🚗💨💨💨
Bhavin Tolia 🤣
😭😭😭
rev up old faithful
* stalls * 🚗🚫
That is if it will.
Best mechanic in the world 🌎
This would be a handy tool to add to my garage. I hate having to bring my car to the shop. I try fixing anything I can myself.
I've become a DIYer ever since I started watching your videos. Thank You Scotty!
Hey Scotty, I usually do not comment but I just wanted to say that your videos have helped me greatly! Summer before last one of my bucket list items was crossed off! My brother helped me to take the engine out of my car. I have a 1995 Dodge Caravan, 3.0L engine, I have had it since 2005. Needless to say many friends and neighbors have said to me: "Why put all of that work into that old car, get a newer one!" Well, as a female most folks do not expect to see you working on your car! I have limited financial means and so I am frugal! I always let those same people know, unless you are buying and/or paying the monthly car note, let it be! At least if I am doing the work along with my brother, I know what's been done and that it\s done correctly! So again thank you, your videos helped out a lot during that process!
This is the first time I've noticed the links to the amazon tool shop. That's actually very helpful! Thank you!
Scotty, all your fans are happy you're not putting yourself out to pasture. Thanks for everything you do!
thanks, honestly I would be bored not doing this. I'm not the type of person to sit around
You make people want to learn more about cars, thank you for this
My truck Has these issues, this could be extremely helpful, thanks Scott for the opportunity. God bless you.
I’m ringing that bell. Hi Scotty. I’m a fairly recent fan who at the ripe age of 53 is becoming a DYI mechanic. Actually I have done some basic stuff all my life but put wasn’t able to develop my interest in cars as LIFE (marriage, kids, work, divorce, single parenting) got in the way. The kids are almost all adults now so I have more time to get dirty. I bought a 2003 Celica GT in January. It’s solid and just needed some TLC and elbow grease and is looking and running great... accept for some hesitation. I changed the plugs and coils and I still get intermittent hesitation so I’m going to change the fuel filter and see if that resolved it. So, I really enjoy your no bullshit, no nonsense videos and look forward to viewing new ones. Thanks. 🛠🔔🔔🔔
Todd Lewan Tell us if that fuel filter did the trick, I'm looking to replace mine in the next week or so
DYI?
"If your car is hesitating, don't hesitate to do this"
I would, but I'm feeling too much PRESSURE. lol
I would FIRST test drive the car driving up hill and at full throttle. If the car has plenty of power, it is getting plenty of fuel. There are so many potential causes of hesitation that jumping in to test fuel pressure is a waste of time unless you're getting lean codes and lacking power. If you want to jump in and try something, cleaning the throttle body and the MAF sensor is a better possible quick fix.
What If you're going up hill and your rpm's are jumping up and down. What should you do
Check fuel filter first😉
I was actually expecting his to say that lol. But yeah TB and MAF can mess things up, but most likely crappy fuel filter because they are all "lifetime" nowadays
You've saved me so much money Scotty, you have a video for just about anything and everything
Thanks scotty still helping me work on my own car after all these years
Just keep in mind the importance of fuel pressure at a specific location of the system.
The right pressure is necessary at the injector. Even if the fuel pump is putting out the correct pressure reading, the fuel pressure regulator, the fuel rail, the individual injectors, etc., could still be causing a problem.
Kinda hard to cover all that in a four-minute video, which I get.
As always, Mr. Kilmer, you offer a tremendous service to the public-at-large on car repair and ownership issues.
Kudos.
Russell Stephan Dude unless the injectors are clogged,its usually the pump.Regulators are usually built into assemblies now days.Stop trying to sound like an expert.
Mr. Smith, I am an expert on any of the vehicles, power equipment pieces, dirt/street bikes in my personal inventory. I keep them humming perfectly from moment of obtainment to scrap yard delivery. They *never* see the inside of a retail vendor's repair facility. Recently did a full front end (from the frame out) on my 300k Chevy C1500.
I currently have a 2004 Cavalier which does have a pressure regulator and fuel rail hence the comment.
An expert critic should *know* there are such systems still on the road as well as home-gamers attempting to keep them going.
You know how the mobile clinics show up for free health screens? You should do a video for car scans in a parking lot somewhere. Film the shock of the folks when you show them the fault codes. Most folks never see those tools. You'd be a hero. So a cape would be in order....maybe a statue, definitely a spot on a Pepsi can.
Great video Scotty I've changed so many fuel pumps in my time just about all of them are in the fuel tank. Gone are the days of the old mechanical fuel pump where you could take apart and repair it yourself.
Scotty, you are the best.......all around the best mechanic I have ever seen and heard!!
This man makes me laugh even when he's not trying to be funny 😂 good stuff 👍
Scotty is the man
you are the mechanic I never had
Rev up your engines! (even if its hesitating!)
If my car hesitates I just convince it to go. Sometimes your car just needs some sweet talking, and will be weary of doing the commands you give it.
NAH, I threaten my car and tell it the next time it acts up we're going to the scrap yard.
To John Ferguson: I visualize the result: instant startup!
McFixStuff2: I can see the car's point of view..."C'mon, it's hot outside...do we really have to go on a short errand? It's cool here in the garage...I like it here...my battery's weak...I was just getting a snooze on...can't it wait?"
Always precise and to the point. No nonsense mechanic that shares his many years of knowledge with us you tubers. There is no substitute for being educated by a professional teacher. Thank you Scotty for sharing your extensive knowledge.
Nothing like starting the week watching Scotty Kilmer.
Thank you Scotty for passing you knowledge on to us in the general public in a way we can understand!
Always revving up my engine ! :-)
Being able to work on cars, and having you tubers like you helping out with advise, and how to really helps out so many people. Thank you Scotty.
Nothing better than a Good mechanic with knowledge plus a lot of sense of humor and those pictures on the corner Reinforcing your video Way to go Scotty Kilmer
Great video as always
I learn so much every week. Thx Scotty!
Good job Scotty your vids are always helpful
I own a 98 jag 200k miles and your videos constantly save me some time and money and my jag is starting to do just this so thank you now to test the pump.....I'll need your help with this lol
Scotty, always appreciate all your years of knowledge you share. I've been getting that misfire code and it completely slipped my mind to check the fuel pressure. Thank you and please keep the videos coming!
I wish I did this before replacing my pump on my 93 Ford Ranger 2.3l. turns out I had a bad relay.
I’ve always wondered what was the cause of my trucks hesitant acceleration. Now I know what to look for. Thanks Scotty for the heads up. Now if only I had a fuel pressure test kit to do it with. Hmm.
Coil packs cause hesitation as well even bad injectors... But fuel could be it too but more likely coil packs which are really easy to change compared to a fuel pump
@@josephroberts2555 any way to single it out prior to replacing it,like, is there a way to test the coil packs first? Im broker than broke these days and cant 1) Be w/o my transpo for long and 2) cant afford to just throw parts at it til i stumble upon the right item..thanks!
@@PureExistence1 if its one of the coil packs (theres 8 of them if its a v8) then most likely you have a check engine light... Check the codes at autozone (they do it free) more than likely you will have a p0300 or p0301 or p0302 or p0303 or p0304 or p0305 or p0306 or p0307 or p0308. The number at the end of the code denotes the cylinder number that is misfiring. For example of you have a p0303 then its misfire on cylinder 3. If its code p0302 then its a misfire on cylinder 2. The p0300 code is a general random misfire code for the whole engine. Ok.... When u get your specific code from autozone... Lets say its p0303 ... So misfire on cylinder 3... Take the coilpack on top of cylinder 3 and switch it with any other coil pack on a different cylinder. So if cylinder 5 has no misfire code then put the cylinder 3 coil pack on the 5th cylinder and put the 5th coilpack on the 3rd cylinder. Then start the car and clear all trouble codes with the code reader. Then drive the car until it throws another code... Check that "new" code with a code reader from autozone or autopart store. If your misfire code changed to cylinder5 p0305 instead of the original p0303 then that means the coil pack that was originally on 3rd cylinder is bad because the trouble code changed cylinders.
@@PureExistence1 btw im guessing u have a ford 😆
@@josephroberts2555 sorry, man, i got coil packs and ignition coil confused! Thanks for such a great response tho. Hopefully it will be of benefit to someone else. I dint have these problems til i chanhed my spark plugs recently. Im thinking MAYBE one of them isnt gapped right, but i did it myself and was pretty sure i did all of them right..
Need to hear that!! Thank you for making us regular car enthusiasts into a decent mechanic
Scotty is the reason my Acura Integra is still running in great shape. Thanks for all the laughs and knowledge!
This is the channel I come to watch when I am procrastinating from Electrical Engineering homework, and it always makes me feel better AND THEN I get right back to work >:D
And I'm giving it AWAY Monday
Love your videos Scotty! Always helpful, factual and informational! It helps you give example you've seen over the years too
Thanks for the tip Scotty. That’s exactly what was wrong with my Ford Ranger.
Thanks for these top tips Scotty. My Subaru impreza has been hesitating at speeds of 60mph plus in 4th and 5th gear.
i was going to drive my hesitating car until the wheels fall off but now i'm starting to think the fuel pump will fall off first
Lolol
i thought Scotty is giving away fuel pump at first lol 😂
Same hahaha
Same here too lol
Thanks Scotty, great information as always, appreciate it very much. I've been mechanic'n for 50 years, I'm 64. I always find your talks very insightful.
Thank you Mr. Scotty. This video answered a question I had about my car. The fuel pump is the only thing I haven't actually changed yet.
Thanks Scotty. I wish the fuel filters had simpler connectors though.
morning Scotty
morning!
Here is my clean non offensive comment I really could use that.
How ironic that you have Saturn gauges as your profile pic while I have problems with my Saturn. Cheers mate.
Have enjoyed watching your videos. They also have helped me fix stuff on my own car, because I got tired of being screwed over by mechanics.
great info, scotty

2007 Liberty; lost my fuel pump in the lot of a garage waiting for an inspection..... Took 2 return visits to get it right. Talk about a bad day
Thanks Scotty
Good morning😄

I love how they make in more and more difficult to diagnose your own problem on your own car
I like the fact that your honest straight forward. Thank you buddy.
If Scotty kilmer replies I will explode
He won’t reply because he doesn’t want viewers to spontaneously combust
Here is my clean and Non=offensive comment, for the fuel pressure tester!!
Non equals offensive?
Mechanic 👨🔧 Monday!
Congrats you won, email me your full name and address so I can mail you this fuel pressure test kit, scotty.mechanic@gmail.com
A very handy tool for troubleshooting fuel pressure.
I just found this channel within the past 2-3 weeks and love learning more. Despite no longer being in a car and only having a motorcycle, I find the information equally as helpful and even helps me look to find ways to transfer the knowledge over to my 1300cc (1.3L) 4-cyl sport bike. Keep up the great work!! And thank you for all the helpful advice I wish I had earlier in life!
Third!
Edit: Fourth!

Thanks Scotty. Accessible filter & pump important consideration for new car purchase. Got it.
Great tool to have, Scotty. I just got my fuel pump changed when I did my timing belt on my 01 Honda Accord V6. So important to keep up on the maintenance of cars these days!
I think the first video of yours that I've ever watched was the one about tire balancing or maybe the CVT engines. And you just saved me a bunch of money with your gas pump shutting off video. Thanks scotty. I wished I live in Houston so you can do all the repairs on my '04 forester.
Scotty you are the best brother good job
Love working on my vehicles and my Cobalt has this problem. Thanks Scotty!
Learning a lot about cars just trying to figure out why mine won't start. Thanks for all the sound advice and simplified explanations!
Scotty, my friend 20 years ago had a convertible Dodge Shadow. When 4 people were in the car he had to turn on the heater to prevent the engine from overheating. Plus he was a crazy driver. I am lucky to be alive.
Can't believe I have just discovered your account, very thankful to be able to watch and learn so much from your videos!
Scotty is an "old school" genius!
Scotty would be my mechanic of choice if I lived in the Houston TX area. Great videos Scotty!
Thanks Scotty your videos and gotten me to get into fixing my car myself
I really like you channel. My father and grandfathers were mechanics and you always give it straight like they did. Keep up the good work!!
Thanks for the informative videos Scotty!
Love the way you call out engineer's.keep the videos coming Scotty !
I have to thank Scotty for making so many easy to follow videos as I recently had trouble with my car's muffler falling off. There were no mechanics in my area that could do it quickly so I just did it myself and these videos gave me the knowhow to do it all.
Thank you scotty i have learned a lot about cars form you're videos
Thanks for the help! I was getting ready to replace my fuel pump on my 1995 Jeep Grand Cherokee. The car would hesitate, the fuel gauge was going all crazy, I thought it was the fuel sending unit (after watching another of your videos). But today I changed the fuel filter, and the problems are gone! (Sort of, the fuel gauge is a bit crazy, but its not reading empty when I have a full tank, I guess I still have to change the pump, but I don't need to spend almost $300 from Autozone or Oreillys when I can get it cheaper from other stores.)
Your the best mechanic Scotty Kilmer
Your short videos have helped me tremendously. Thank you for sharing your wisdom and opinions.
Get Video, please dont retire from making video's. Keep up the great work....
That is one of the most helpful videos I've seen in sometime
Greetings from the Dominican Republic 🇩🇴, You're Awesome scotty.
Scotty Thanks for another helpful and down to earth video!
Hi Scotty, my 2001 Stratus has just today got an engine hesitation problem. Thanks for the timely video. Let me have that kit to test the fuel pressure. Wow!
Always enjoy your videos. Helps me tons when I work on my own car.
It's Bud the spud from the bright red mud, rollin down the highway smilin! Hello Scottie from PEI Canada.
Great video there, Scotty! On any car I buy, replacing the fuel-filter is one of the first maintenance tasks I perform.
I need this tool since I owned and love a 29yr old car and love maintaining it and keep it running smoothly
Very helpful and entertaining. Thanks, Scotty!
Scotty Kilmer for president!
Awesome. Nice to know about the newer GDi fuel pressure. Thank you Scotty.
Just the video I needed to see today! I have a ‘98 Chevy s-10 with a 4.3L V6 and it has 135,000mi on it. I love the truck but it has typical Chevy problems. I got the truck for $500 because it had a brake line rusted through, so I replaced the lines myself, then gave it tune up (which was a pain in the butt on the driver side), but even after the tune up I still get this nagging hesitation when I first take off, but only after it’s initial start of the engine. I’ll change the fuel filter next and hope that helps! 🤞🏼
