Not sure what to do Scotty I have a 2020 Pacifica hybrid with about 7000 miles only 3000 of them are with the engine but it’s a year old and I need to change the oil. I’m scared to death to take it to a Chrysler dealership do you blame me?
Hey Scotty! I have a Honda Accord 2001 Ex. It shows check engine code P0505. Ive taken it to several mechanics who made me change the Idle air control 3 times! None have worked. What do you recommend.
@@rob5944 Sounds like there’s good reasons for Scotty saying if it’s not a Toyota or Lexus don’t buy it. I think it’s a huge mistake for Toyota to quit building full-size pickups with a V-8. Toyota generally reads their market well but that decision considering the problems with the TwinTurbo Ford V6’s is not very smart.
Mr. Kilmer is right about using manual transmissions with diesels. I always had sporty fast cars but got my first diesel and while it isn't fast, it is fast enough and gets ridiculous mpg.
I bought a pathfinder once. The dealer wanted $3500 for it. I tested it and it acted like it need new injectors. I asked him if he had any work done on it and he said he just had the whole lower unit done. I told him I would give him 1500 because I would most likely have to buy injectors for it and put them in. I got home and was messing around with it and checking the injectors. My hand was on a wire loom that went to the injectors and it started running smooth as silk. Whoever did the work on it didn’t connect the loom all the way. So I cleaned the connections, reconnected it and drove that car for five years before I traded it in for a new truck.
I used that cleaner on my 94 Celica with the "Moses Stick" on my accelerator and the seat and opened my throttle body up. Cleaned it real good and now it runs like new car.
CRC electronics cleaner works magic! It's my first option with any electrical problem. Ive solved radio volume control, power window, even 'broken' flashlight issues with a two second spray.
I had a car running rough t idle. I looked at the throttle body and it was dirty. not a lot, in fact to me it looked like it was insignificant amount of carbon, but i cleaned it anyway since i had it opened up. Lo and behold! What difference! I just could not believe how little crud could cause so much trouble. I mean we are basically talking stains not thick build up. Live and learn!
You have saved me so much money, most places here in Indiana they see a woman in the shop alone they sure do try to get you. I pull up your videos! 😂🤣 Thank You
I'm glad you put this up, Scotty. The electrical connections on everything from the headlights to the tranny need cleaned on a truck I recently bought. It runs okay, but prevention is ten times better than regret on a cold dark road at night. I knew to do it, but never thought of it when I was messing with things on it. Now it's front and center on the "to do" list. 👍
I like how Scotty ''walks his talk'' he has a Toyota Celica, a Toyota Matrix, his wife's Lexus, and also his son has the black Tacoma and Sienna in the background. His Family must be Toyota's best customers. I hope they send him the NEW TUNDRA as soon as it is release so he can give us his thoughts on it. 🤓
@@HappyCarReviews Buying a used car from a guy using money from your pocket doesn't translate to Toyota customer. Toyota made no money in the transaction. When was the last time a mechanic squirted spray cleaner on your logic sensors?
Had same prob. w/loose batt. connection. Car stalled in traffic, threw a code, "low voltage to MAF sensor," among others. Back in the day, I drove LTD's, Thunderbirds & Grand Marquis's ( all rearwheel drive) year round in N.E. In the winter, I put studded snow tires on & 4 50lb. buckets of sand in trunk. I never, ever, got stuck even once. Listen to Scotty! 😲
On Toyota's or at least the 4runners I've worked on 4 I have found if you take the plastic out of the battery cable it gets a lot better connection the plastic cover is usually broke off anyways I'll do it even if it's running good so it doesn't leave someone along the road
Always lube connectors after you clean. Use dielectric grease and do the pins and the seals. Prevents corrosion and makes them easier to pull back apart if you need to.
I remember using a paperclip to check the codes on my mom's 82 Buick skylark, V-6. The connector was under the steering column. Took it to tech school and could do burnouts with it after tuning it to spec. Ran amazingly. Loved seeing that again. Scotty, your the best!
We don't know if it was cleaning the electrical connectors or getting a better battery connection. Mr. Kilmer should have done the most likely fix first and then tested it before doing the other fix so we know what is to blame.
In my experience garages always want to replace parts at the first sign of a fault code. Always worth checking connections, seals and joints as best you are able before going ahead with expensive part replacements. Just remember to reset you fault codes after the clean (disconnecting the battery will do this on most cars).
You helped me with my AC cause I did what u said and on 72 it’s cold as hell Thank You 🙏🏻 God Bless Buddy Too you and you’re Family also Stay Safe !!! Have a good day and Take care
Trust me it’s cold and I don’t even have it on low or in the 60’s trust me from not having it since last year this is cold and it just needed refrigerant and better than having a guy take $70-$80 bucks for something I could do I work on cars too my farther was a really good Mechanic he even built his own race car I have pictures but him and my Mother passed away 8 Months apart so on some stuff I second guess myself but I watch Scotty when I think I can’t do it and I fix whatever is wrong
Hey Scotty, I drive a dry wall screw or any screw between the battery post and the terminal. Your electric wire idea is a lot better. Great video,. thank you.
Crimp the right sized connector onto the battery leads if the correct sized terminal batteries are not available. In cold weather they need BOTH batteries to give their best for reliable starting...
Scotty your a savage love seeing these old school tricks you will not find these awesome tricks out with the new techs your knowledge is gold my friend thank you scotty.....
My ‘16 Honda Pilot lives on contact cleaner. The fuse boxes are not sealed well and get dirty. When the DTC codes flash, the fuse bars have to be sprayed.
When doing load testing on dual battery set ups, you need to discount ground on one of the batteries or you won’t be able to test individual batteries.
These Hi Lix diesels are extremely popular as “ Safari cars” as they are called in Africa. They are used primarily on unimproved ( awful) bush roads. Still slow as a sloth, but very rugged, easy to fix and they don’t burn much fuel.
Your video on the Honda Element for the solenoid problem really came in handy today but my engine light still won't go off and the solenoid that I took off didn't really look clogged but the car runs better now
I have a 1991 Dodge Spirit that was throwing an EGR code. The car doesn't have an external EGR valve. Turns out after a few hundred bucks and wasted buying of parts that weren't on my vehicle, it was literally a bad pick-up coil on the distributor. Bright side of all this, pretty much everything mechanical under the car has been replaced with new and given the car only has 34,731 original miles on it and 31 years old, it's got lots of life left in it.
I was having an issue with two codes from my 07 Honda Accord and both codes were related to the PCM(U0100 & U1202). After dealing with both codes for several weeks I had made the decision that I needed to replace the PCM. I removed the PCM and disassembled completely looking for possible damage. No visible damage and I thought if I am replacing the PCM at least attempt to clean the PCM circuit board and see if either code goes away. I sprayed the PCM circuit board front and back with CRC QD electrical cleaner. Allowed to dry 30 minutes, assembled the PCM, plugged it in, and immediately it started up. For two weeks the car would not start, so I drove it around for 10 to 15 minutes and no codes. I am back on the road with no codes.
I have a Hilux 1990 with 3L engine and MANUAL! Yes, it is slow but 100% guaranteed, it will take you to your destination. For past 31 years we owned, it failed only once due to the same reason what Scotty showed with the battery terminal.
Did you buy a replacement end for the lead and crimp it on, or buy the correct battery with the correct sixed terminals to fix the problem with out bodging it?
everyone local that has that toyota, all love them. mostly for off road. modded to no end, mostly lifted with huge tires. many of them not street legal any more, just for off road hunting trucks.
The resistors go in the fuel pump for turbo just make one yourself easy fix. Plenty of parts in Australia for these same engines as the 3L model 2.8diesel.
I liked you 10 gauge wire fix on the battery terminal, 8 years ago I had a 02 Corolla with a loose terminal just stuck in a galvanized screw and it worked great haha.
On my even older '87 Toyota Supra, codes are cleared by pulling the EFI fuse for 30 seconds. If they return, then they are persistent, and need to be addressed. My engine codes can be read in the same way however, I have the rare optional Super Monitor on the dash, which allows me to read codes numerically. The codes are defined in the shop manual. Constant flashing means no codes stored.
Scotty I had an idea to put a small hole I can use to clean the mass air easier than pulling apart the airbox every time, then put some foil tape over the tiny hole when finished. it always seems to make a big difference when i clean it .
Well, this way it takes much longer to dry. If you have hot-wire maf sensors, it’s important not to use them when still wet with the highly flammable cleaner.
Hi Scotty. I'm a worker at OReilly auto parts, and get tons of questions about cars every day. A great question I got was that their brakes were triggering the ABS and they couldn't stop. Please explain why.
ive done that battery trick with a copper penny. bent it with two vice grips to the right curve. worked just as well and i think would last a lot longer.
Or you could just loosen the clamp, and push it further down on the [tapered] battery terminal before tightening it like should have been in the first place. It amazes me how often even the most experienced techs don't know how to properly attach battery cables. That copper wire is going to be corroded within a year or two without any treatment.
That CRC cleaner did a number on my car. I used it once on a plug like he showed, but the chemical swelled up the rubber gasket inside the plug, and after use, the plug won’t fit in the holder. I had to remove the rubber gasket inside to fit.. so, use at own risk..
Great video Scotty, but I must disagree with your opinion on the Toyota. The Hilux as we call it in Australia is the highest selling and most reliable 4WD in the country. Agreed the manual is better than the auto, but the new models don't have that issue. Good work.
Early 90's Toyota ECU are notorious for capacitors leaks. They leak on the boards and mess up voltages. It will happen eventually in every early 90's Toyota.
Pretty sure given time ALL capacitors will eventually leak. I know it's been an issue in older hdtvs for some time. It's enough of an issue in older honda ecus that they sell kits ready to solder in.
@@beezowdoodoozoppitybopbopb9488 True, but given the extreme temperature and humidity variances cars are subjected to, they are more prone to fail in automotive applications.
nice looking ln130. the ecu capacitors commonly go bad in those and cause all sorts of drivability issues. also the ecu codes for diesels is different to the petrol codes, it sounds like you where using the petrol codes.
I had a 1966 mustang GT and 1971 302 with manual transmissions but not posit traction and yes I used snow tires in the winter and had no problem in the winter if it had posit traction would have been a different story .
Subaru Recalls More Than 165,000 Cars and SUVs to Fix Stalling Engines Ascent, Forester, Impreza, Outback, other vehicles are included. A faulty fuel pump is the cause.The models involved are 2019-2020 Ascent SUVs, 2018 Forester SUVs, 2018-2020 Impreza hatchbacks and sedans, 2018-2020 Legacy sedans, 2018-2020 Outback SUVs, 2018-2019 WRX sedans, and 2018-2019 BRZ coupes.
My ‘72 Mustang with a 351-2bbl was helpless in the rain. I tossed the bias-ply tires for Cooper radials and that helped, but in the snow, I had to use chains on it or it just sat there and spun.
Id like to say those batteries are crap 💩 honestly i work at autozone and i always reccomend the more expensive option for that reason and when i warn people they always come back and have to spend double the money and they end up around the same price after taxes just 30 dollars more so if ur thinking this cheaper option will help u out dont do it ur better off buying a used one they do have a one year warranty but they tend to go bad after the one year when ur warranty is voided so always spend more for the better quality
I have been watching Scotty for a while now & surprised you didn't use a battery cable end spreader on the Negative Cable instead of hammering on the Battery Terminal.
In the old days we had a name for what Scotty did to that battery terminal but it is no longer acceptable to say it. Why not just change it the right way and charge the customer?
With two batteries, shouldn't you have disconnected one battery for the battery check? Now you tested them both in parallel, no wonder they tested out really good.

For this sort of thing I like to use CRC 2-26 cleaner and lubricant as it leaves a thin film of oil to prevent/reduce oxidation.

On my even older '87 Toyota Supra, codes are cleared by pulling the EFI fuse for 30 seconds. If they return, then they are persistent, and need to be addressed. My engine codes can be read in the same way however, I have the rare optional Super Monitor on the dash, which allows me to read codes numerically. The codes are defined in the shop manual. Constant flashing means no codes stored.
Scotty I had an idea to put a small hole I can use to clean the mass air easier than pulling apart the airbox every time, then put some foil tape over the tiny hole when finished. it always seems to make a big difference when i clean it .
Well, this way it takes much longer to dry. If you have hot-wire maf sensors, it’s important not to use them when still wet with the highly flammable cleaner.
@@Asto508 Good point I always let mine sit for a good half hour .
Yoo scotty remember me ? Your numeber one fan ! 👌🏼‼️
hello and yes!
Thank You Scotty you are a great mechanic.
Hi Scotty. I'm a worker at OReilly auto parts, and get tons of questions about cars every day. A great question I got was that their brakes were triggering the ABS and they couldn't stop. Please explain why.
ive done that battery trick with a copper penny. bent it with two vice grips to the right curve. worked just as well and i think would last a lot longer.
Or you could just loosen the clamp, and push it further down on the [tapered] battery terminal before tightening it like should have been in the first place. It amazes me how often even the most experienced techs don't know how to properly attach battery cables. That copper wire is going to be corroded within a year or two without any treatment.
That CRC cleaner did a number on my car. I used it once on a plug like he showed, but the chemical swelled up the rubber gasket inside the plug, and after use, the plug won’t fit in the holder. I had to remove the rubber gasket inside to fit.. so, use at own risk..
uh oh...rubber gasket...
Great video Scotty, but I must disagree with your opinion on the Toyota. The Hilux as we call it in Australia is the highest selling and most reliable 4WD in the country. Agreed the manual is better than the auto, but the new models don't have that issue. Good work.
Your a genius, Scotty.
I wish all mechanic would be like you
Early 90's Toyota ECU are notorious for capacitors leaks. They leak on the boards and mess up voltages. It will happen eventually in every early 90's Toyota.
Hondas too, and Mitsubishis, also the TCU's
Pretty sure given time ALL capacitors will eventually leak. I know it's been an issue in older hdtvs for some time. It's enough of an issue in older honda ecus that they sell kits ready to solder in.
@@beezowdoodoozoppitybopbopb9488 True, but given the extreme temperature and humidity variances cars are subjected to, they are more prone to fail in automotive applications.
Evening Scotty ‼️‼️
evening!
Great tips as usual! Always check the ground:)
I’d rather BAKE OR COOK DINNER. ... FOR SCOTTY ... I’m better at “ simple things... THANK YOU SCOTTY. ! !!
nice looking ln130.
the ecu capacitors commonly go bad in those and cause all sorts of drivability issues.
also the ecu codes for diesels is different to the petrol codes, it sounds like you where using the petrol codes.
It's a good job you are a good old fitter like me, there's not many of us left now.
learned the two wire trick back in theearly 90s. Worked for almost anything.
I had a 1966 mustang GT and 1971 302 with manual transmissions but not posit traction and yes I used snow tires in the winter and had no problem in the winter if it had posit traction would have been a different story .
OBD2 = P0420 is catalytic converter
OBD1 = 420 flashes for the cats?

Round and around and around we go. Love your videos Scotty!
My ‘72 Mustang with a 351-2bbl was helpless in the rain. I tossed the bias-ply tires for Cooper radials and that helped, but in the snow, I had to use chains on it or it just sat there and spun.
Id like to say those batteries are crap 💩 honestly i work at autozone and i always reccomend the more expensive option for that reason and when i warn people they always come back and have to spend double the money and they end up around the same price after taxes just 30 dollars more so if ur thinking this cheaper option will help u out dont do it ur better off buying a used one they do have a one year warranty but they tend to go bad after the one year when ur warranty is voided so always spend more for the better quality
Scott is always the best.
I have been watching Scotty for a while now & surprised you didn't use a battery cable end spreader on the Negative Cable instead of hammering on the Battery Terminal.
Scotty will always be the best!
Great video, Scotty!
CRC 2-26 is a great follow up spray to protect connections. Sometimes called an electrician in can.
That stuff helped me fix my pcm after a deep freeze!!!!
In the old days we had a name for what Scotty did to that battery terminal but it is no longer acceptable to say it. Why not just change it the right way and charge the customer?
Love this Chanel , great information, great presentation.
With two batteries, shouldn't you have disconnected one battery for the battery check?
Now you tested them both in parallel, no wonder they tested out really good.
Or at least test them with their cca sum. He basically did test both together with half their cca.
My uncle always used crc products. Good stuff.
