"it was just a minor wiring issue, no charge, come and get your car" -- said almost no mechanic every. You're amazing man. I wish you lived near me..... you seem like an honest, awesome guy who just likes to help people. We need more dudes like you in the world (:
Wow thanks man! It helps that I just do this as a hoibby for charity. If I did this for a living I'd probably tell him he needs a new fuel tank and a tuneup for $1200 lol.
as an master tech in the past, I approve this mans method. great explanations, demonstrations and final repair. bravo good sir.
I really like this home mechanic, NO BS, just straight talk.
Man, I don't even have car troubles and I stumbled on your channel. I hate when people get burned by mechanics (or any other service), so I always fix things for myself, family, and friends. Thanks for the awesome vid. It's inspiring to see someone helping out and fixing 'a professional's' mistakes. I can't imagine what trouble this guy would have gone through had he taken the car back to that same mechanic.
FREE OF CHARGE!!??!! PICK YOU UP IF YOU NEED A RIDE TO COME GET YOUR CAR??!!?? You are doing gods work my friend.
Glad that you found this problem. FYI - Isuzu's alternator have a separate circuit to power the fuel pump relay when the alternator is spinning. This is to turn off the fuel pump after a collision. If the alternator is wonky, then the motor will try to start, but will not stay running. It stalls out as soon as you release the starter. Sometimes it is the alternator failing. Sometimes it is the fuel pump failing. My work buddy is crazy about Isuzu and passed on this valuable tip to me and I hope that with posting this comment it helps you or someone else in the future.
You just got yourself another subscriber brother. I'm in my journey of starting a repair and customization shop. I really like how you looked out for the customer with LABOR at NO CHARGE! AWESOME! Your channel is, from what I just saw, the perfect way to learn how to not only work on cars, but how to run my shop and how to treat my customers. Thanks for the great show✌🏾
Awesome thank you!!
Good Lord....!!!! that guy is like a WOW.......!!! his utter confidence in a fact that his is a master does it all...... thumbs UP!!!
Mechanics like you are hard to find Matt, how I wished you lived in Cape Town South Africa...
Stay real, you're the real boss.
One of the best at explaining himself. I love the logical and systematic approach.
Not a bad guy at all! It is so hard to find mechanics that perform diagnosis like this. Sadly most just throw parts at it at the customer's expense. Wish I could find a knowledgeable AND honest mechanic like him.
The depth you go into is nice to see !!
I like trouble shooting. I need to learn and improve the skill. Thanks for showing and sharing your valuable knowledge.
Thanks a lot. I have 3 citroens and I do mechanics very frequently here at home. I am learning a lot from you. God bless you. Muchas gracias. Tengo 3 citroens y hago mecanica muy frecuente aqui en casa. Estoy aprendiendo mucho de ti. Dios te bendiga.
Top draw super fast diagnosis Matt. Professional parts changers should be embarrassed and ashamed of themselves watching you in action Matt. As a chap commented below - his local mechanic would have changed everything, probably charged the customer a small fortune and still the car wouldn't start!! You are definitely more a professional than most "professionals" can ever hope to be!
Impressive which leaves me with one question. ....why is the guy not bending over so far backwards with gratuity that he risks getting his head caught up his %$$....oh I answered my own question. I bought a greeting card that read , sorry i missed your birthday my problem is obvious, with a picture of a guy in that position.
And that’s why I decided not to let anyone work on my cars ever again. Got tired of getting taken advantage of. Now I do all my own work, not that I know how but I have a book for each car and TH-cam. Sometimes my cars sit for months while I try to figure out the problem. But I would rather my car sit there and I bum rides for however long it takes than pay out $800 to a mechanic and it not fix the problem or fixed things that didn’t need fixing
Most mechanics are not truthful when it’s a simple job fix .. good deal showing the call .. much respect
Thank you man! Thank you. Your direct and sensible methods are top notch, your gift of teaching real-world valuable skills in such an efficient fashion will help more folks than you may ever know! We need more in the world like you, and perhaps things wouldnt seem so confusing at times. A lot of things in life are intentionally designed to frustrate us. You my friend are the antidote to such things! Rock On....
You are awesome for not knowing isuzus. I have a isuzu trooper with the same problem. After watching your video you brought my hope level back up. Thank you for posting. Wish me luck I sure need it.
Same here and I don’t have any dx tools. I changed fuse, relay and filter. Almost starts and then blah😤 I’m horrible with electronics
Great video. Glad there are honest people out there. Problem with the upright approach is most mechanics would rather charge you for a fuel pump so they make some money off you. You can see it in your channel that people see the true you and support you by subscribing to your channel and watching your videos. I like your approach on fixing cars.
+gereral1 Thanks bro... hey how's the grandkid? Like 2 years now?
Merritt 1 year and a bit.... thanks for asking
+gereral1 As a professional it embarrasses me when I hear stories about people being conned by others in my trade.
Not all of us are dishonest.
Some of my customers I have had for 30 plus years because they trust me 100%.
I was taught at a very young age to treat people as you wish to be treated and this has helped me build a successful business.
Going back to the video, there was a couple of things I may have done slightly differently but that comes down to 40 plus years of experience. Still a nice find, and one many professionals would have had a problem with.
I await the results of your other "non runner" with interest. :-)
Stambo What would you have done differently?
+Schrodingers Box I do stress differently, not necessarily better.
Once a lack of fuel was confirmed, I use a barbecue bottle with a regulator and a longish hose instead of starter fluid.
It is way cheaper and dissipates very quickly if you still have a non starter.
It is also possible with a bit of trial and error to sit the bottle inside and drive the vehicle this way.
I also probably would have started at the relay end of the fuel system and confirmed KOEO prime and directly bypassed the relay before crawling under the vehicle, but then I am in my mid 50s so crawling under a vehicle tends to come later in my process.
The end result would have still been the same :-).
Please don't take this as criticizing your method as it is not intended this way. Your methodical approach is very similar to my own.
I don't like replacing things until I can prove without a doubt that they are faulty.
You my friend, are one bad ass DIY guy! Wish you were in my town! You don't, you would get sick of me picking your brain!! Thanks for all the info I am getting from your videos, I watch often.. You are a born teacher!
Thanks man! Glad you found the channel!
Damn, didn't charge him and he even offered to pick him up!! Now that's something you don't see everyday... Good job, son!
really a good diagnosis detects messy damage problems that can't be started
Good learning for me
Thank you
Easy step by step explanation from simplest to difficult , VERY knowledgeable, and willing to share with n help others ...on top of that honest.
You sir, are a God-sent genius!
Keep doing what you do it all comes back in due time.
We need more honest Mechanics like you! Id pay you anyway!
'Expeditiousness'...great word.
Matt I like your way of working and above that helping attitude
That was sweet "no charge " need you in my area. Nice video
Just found ya ... Fixin to binge watch ALL Ur videos ... So amazing for a do it urselfer, like myself found Ur stuff so direct, though, and educated ... So much info in such a compact and yet humorous manner...wish I could a found Ur videos sooner
Awesome! Thank you! Welcome aboard and enjoy the binge!!
Why can’t I have a friend like this in my life!!! 🥺😭😭
Cause you used that damn 🥺 emoji lmaoo
You're an awesome mechanic. My hat is off to you sir
'Bout freakin' time I found a fellow scientist into car repair and general DIY stuff. This channel is just what I wanted - I hate sorting through 45 minute videos looking for those 30 second tidbits of info I need buried in 44 minutes of people grunting and ratcheting while generally providing no useful information.
Hahaha, not too many people share our perspective. I agree though- it is distrubing how many people out there will spend all day watching guys grunting.
I usually play the video at 2x speed to find what I'm looking for (usually a "How the hell do you get to that bolt to take it off without breaking something?" or tips and tricks for some inspiration and clever thinking that hadn't occurred to me). I'm just a guy looking for a quick answer without fluff because I just want to get the job done. I don't give a shit about mechanic vs tech, tool trucks, or whatever other BS people argue about. I just don't get the automotive culture. I roll my eyes so hard I worry about them leaving all together when I see tool snobs pushing their $400 Snap-On crap that they're still making payments on and bashing Harbor Freight and Craftsman. It just doesn't compute with me. If both tools get the job done, how on earth can you justify a tool that cost $380 more if the end result is the same? Then you have people on the opposite side who pay through the nose because they can't do a simple brake job or oil change. When I started this reply I didn't mean for it to be a rant, but there you have it, lol I think it all pent up as I searched through 10 videos to find out if I had to drop the gas tank to do a fuel pump or if I could go through an access panel in the trunk getting more frustrated with each video because I could've dropped the tank and just looked myself faster. (Didn't want to check in the trunk because it was packed to capacity of all kinds of junk I didn't want to mess with.) I'll be a regular viewer of your channel for both the repairs and humor, as well as scientific diagnoses.
Alex, thank you dude! Your post was therapy. Anybody who read as far as the word "rant" knows it's anything but. You laid it out direct. You're one of the very few people who still practice the rare art of "thinking" in order to learn new info so they gain efficiency in making wiser choices when problem solving. And why are we this way? In the pursuit of happiness, for us and our loved ones! Any excess talking, chrome, or tales of yore impede this goal. And we cant imagine forcing someone to endure a shitty story or advert. in order to share useful info with em. We like to get sh!t done so we can hose-off, put meat on the grill, and chill with the fam & friends. I have come to appreciate videos and people like Mr. Schrodinger who is happy to help his fellow man. It works out for the good in life and many people are so distracted or arrogant they'll never get it. That's why God set a premium on these words "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself". It becomes apparent rather quickly these days who people have love for. ~hint: if somebody talks just way too much in general, and/or throws out two or more stupid non-witty jokes....their neighbor is in every mirror they look at. Take it easy brother!
Don't forget the famous there's a bolt back here I can't show you, but, its right here. . .
Nice to see diagnosis to the last option available. Nice to also see a diy'er do it.
Great stuff man! I enjoy watching you diagnose.
Hi,
This is a really good approach of the problem.
The good think is that you showed us diagnostic with simple tools.
The paperclip trick to bypass a relay is just awesome.
Thank you.
Man I am very impressed by the things you do instead of just throwing in parts with assumptions like some mechanics. I wish I knew a mechanic like you that can be trusted. You're so awesome! I like the way you do work, we need more people like you!! hahaha
Thanks man, whatever the hell your name is lol!!
@@SchrodingersBox hey i have a 07 navigator and its having almost the same issue. so far ive followed your steps. in conclusion ik im not getting any fuel to the car and before that i actually checked my fuses in which i discovered that some of my pcm sensors including my fuel pump diode arent getting power. My car started temp. after spraying starter fluid and then died. Please lend me your advice. Thank you so much!
@Schrodingersbox
6:21. Are 30 and 87 the control circuit? I thought they were secondary/ switched/ load circuit. As opposed to the primary/ signal/ control circuit
I watch the full video . You are a champion . I like the way you diagnostic the problem with the vehicle.
Thank you so much 👍
You ARE a BOSS and a credit to the entire DIY species! Love your video style, straight to the point without too much fluff. Good job! ;-}
Ha- the "DIY species"!!! I wonder what the Genus and Phylum are? Chordata HomoMechanicus?
Thanks for the step by step diagnostics. I did them all and found the crankshaft position sensor was the issue. $19.99 and a little elbow grease and my 98 Ranger Starts! I appreciate ya!
Bob O.
I would've given you $20 - $40 just for your awesomeness.
I’d give dude a whole buck. To me dude brought my car back from the dead. FOR FREE
Such an awesome video. Learning a lot of electrical without assumption of bad parts. Proves that the obvious must still be confirmed. I would have thrown a pump in too if the other stuff hadn't been checked. Makes me think twice about part replacement.
Glad to hear!!! Welcome to the enlightened side!!
God Bless You! Love from Fiji! you are awesone! i m an ameture in da field and i find ur vids very explanatory and very basic and fast approach! but here in Fiji we have alot of Toyota's but i think i am going to adapt ur approach to problems! thanks bro!
Thank you ❤ for being a honest mechanic. I appreciate the ethics and morals that you have.
Not a bad guy after all, why would a thinking brain give this video a thumbs down. wonderful video buddy
You are the BOSS! Doesn't matter whether this was staged or real, you gave a superb tutorial on how to approach and diagnose. I like knowing that people like you exist. Thank you for this video!
I do not stage my videos- they are done in real time and are actual case studies presented to me by either viewers, neighbors, or people who just find me.
Thanks for this video. It's good to see different approaches.
if the world was full of people like you it would be a lovley place. class video.
Thanks for the video! It's very informative.
Absolutely amazing’ I bet dude returned to work happy knowing that the hours he spent standing on his feet working did not have to be exchanged with purchasing new parts and labor. He already bought a pump. God bless you!
The first thing I alway check is the fuses, nice video.
Well... he didn't say certainly... lol... (and the comment was made before he remembered the owner telling him about the recently replaced fuel pump...)
Great video, I have no trouble with taking things a part and putting them back together but when it comes to electrical problems I have yet to completely comprehend any of it, I would love to have your knowledge of trouble shooting electrical, great work man.
That's the purpose of this channel! Hopefully you'll adapt and develop "real skills". pretty much everyone in line returning their alternator because it didn't fix their problem has no problem installing one lol!

wow, I've been watching your videos and you are a very smart and knowledgeable guy. Thanks for these tutorials. much appreciated
Wow 😳. No charge????? There are no guys like you anymore!!!! Very honest man and free check. Good job bro. 👍👍👍👍👍
hey Matt this is another great video like the ones before. sometimes I get customers at my shop where they have spent hundreds of dollars and they get tow to my shop and it turns out to be simple fix. at that point my intention would be no charge,but I have and overhead and a family to support. so at least I charge a small fee. again I've learn a lot from your other videos.
+Manny Velez Oh totally as a professional you SHOULD charge for doing a diagnostic (as long as it's accurate) and also for any repair.
It's a business! for me it's a hobby though.
Your kind does not come a dime a dozen. Good job and a good friend to have!
Good video Matt! Even an old school wrench turning relic like me can enjoy watching these!! Thanks.

Cool and honest person here. Hard to find auto mechanics like this.
My car is a no start, and that's the reason I'm here. Now I have a good reason to subscribe. Thanks for the video, although this is not the case on my car. Kind of dark now to check my car and mine is a no spark.
good job no prob diagnosis and no charge u a good man
Thank you,so, so much for taking the time to explain the process. Over looked fuses can save you a lot of money. Keep up the great work I'm loving it.
Glad you are enjoying the channel!!
Good honest people. I learned a few thanks 😀
Mclovin turned into a mechanic. Right on bro.
Chicka Chicka YEAH!!
@@SchrodingersBox 😂🤣
you definitely know what the hell you're doing! man wish I knew someone like you here to help because you're right most mechanics will just go on and change parts they assume is the problem but it wasn't and they keep doing it until they find the problem which puts you out of money from buying all the unnecessary parts in the first place
Same here!
Thanks to this video I was able to get my car back up and running mine ended up been a fuel pump so went and got one. That one ended up been bad as well so I went to another auto part store and got another one and that one worked and my started right up. I sat and watched your video probably a good 20 times so thanks again for the tips and your fast tec technique
incredible job. thank you!
First class video, extremely educational and entertaining as well. I wish there were more how to videos formatted just the way you approach this. Please keep posting!
My whole channel is dedicated to this format!
Awesome job, great video and great explanations!
One of the best vehicle analytical videos I have seen. Great Job and thanks for the tips. I have definitely subscribed.
Awesome, thank you!
Wow that was a good video, one of the best I have seen for DIY, thanks man.
Hey I like your videos,simple and no need for expensive equipment ,fixing my central locking on my RX8,I know how much you love rice burners,lol.
Matt, great, tutorial, educational, entertaining, and informative video. Exceptional work, keep it up!
Like a boss Big Man on Campus diagnosed with in 2 minutes. Nice work!
You're a great guy and very smart. Thank you.
Celerity: a quality most techs do not possess nor strive for.
You, sir, are a star for your lack of adherence to the mere median of performance!
Thank you!
how to diagnose a car like you! thank you for all your help man
Thank you very much your video is very helpful and you are a very good troubleshooter . Excellent job.
I really like this guy, I like how he goes around and looks for the problem and not just guess and changes parts to see if it'll wok. You are a real mechanic buddy. Great Job. Were are you located?
Glad you enjoy it! I am located in Denver. I appreciate the compliment.
@@SchrodingersBox I might have to move to Denver just to have a reliable mechanic lol thanks for the vids man
So much tension... Gone after watching just a few seconds I knew I needed search more. Great job, you certainly are a 2%
good honest mechanic.. i salute you for that sir love your video
thanks man. I think the fact i am not a mechanic may be the primary contributer to my honesty lol.
Awesome video, honest guy!
Great stuff. I could watch these videos all day long. The VW fluxcapacitor series was the first thing I put on after getting back from work today, followed by this one.
+cookdave Lol- I can watch diagnostics all day long but watching a guy spin a wrench for 45 minutes much less 45 seconds gets on my nerves! Why do people watch videos of people turning wrenches?
You are just brilliant!!!
$100 for your time and another $50 for picking up and you are a great guy sir. UP, and SUB.
awesome video I'm just watching to learn 👍
Dang, it's just too bad there are many mechanics out there that will take advantage of the situation and lie and create another "problem" to the diagnosis then charge you an arm and a leg for it. It all comes down to morals, dignity and honesty! If you don't have any morals or conscience, one would lie and take advantage of the customer and basically steal that way. It's so hard to find a good and honest mechanic! Wished all mechanics was like this guy!
What a great mechanic!!!
You should move to Miami here is very hard to find an honest , reliable and fast working Mechanic like you.
Wow! Amazing stuff!
That is impressive customer service.
I think you actually done really well there Matt, just one comment, with your normal circuit tester and the pump plugged in you could by pass the relay check for current there and put the tester on the ground wire, if you have a bad ground the tester would light on the ground side....bit like a headlight that doesn't work...Fred.
Never thought you were a BAD GUY 😏 - what YOU ARE - is an ACE diagnostic technician- DIY or not - you POSSESS the NECESSARY knowledge and skills to LOGICALLY TROUBLESHOOT and locate ANY CAUSE of engine malfunction - THANK YOU for sharing your knowledge and EXPERTISE-KNOW that you teach many valuable skills to other DIY er’s - I ABSOLUTELY APPRECIATE technicians like you - an ACE Technician and MOST important HONEST. 👍🙂✌️
Thank you!!!
Also...
ur are an honest adviser.
kip up.
cheers mate
After watching...I wonder how many of the “thumbs down” watchers got here .. Mr Schrodinger ...another Excellent video for the doityourselfer.....
You sir are amazing! Good job!
Nice work Matt thank you for teaching me very special man thank you
Great job, Matt! My favorite test was the starting fluid and paper clip starter bypass test. Beautiful and simple!
I think the test light should have spent some more time at the relay box...you can definitively check both control and load side in 2 seconds :)
+motoYam82 Yes no doubt test light could have been used in all applications on this one. It's funny- I assume you have your testlight right on the top of your toolbox to reach for while I have my DVOM there so it;s what I grabbed!
What do you hook up the paperclip too
awesome how u didn't charge and worked on it. now that's a bad ass diy
Now you're what I call a customer friendly mechanic rather than a rip you off mechanic. I'd donate some money to you just for your time if I were the guy that owned the vehicle. Too bad there aren't more of your type around.
totally dig your pop and check, thanks for sharing checking wiring is always a good tip
You are an honest and smart mechanic, you should have at least charged him $50.00 which would have been well worth it. I don't mind paying a mechanic his normal rate, but not when they fail to do a good job!! UGH.
Someone else would of said it was the fuel pump 🤣but this man is honest 👍🏼
This is a servant of God 😇!!
Matt:you should write a book, i would so buy it. sometimes the camera doesn't catch some of the details , i like it very much when you explain things on the board, like when you explained what a relay is and how it works. you are a teacher , an honest one , and a good one , keep up the good work!
Matt you are hands down the best automotive instructional TH-cam instructional video I've seen in a while your ability to trouble shoot and analyze and explain a problem are truly impressing.
Thank you so much for sharing and helping so many DIYs out here.
