They joke over here in the UK, that you've just done an Italian Tune Up. Otherwise known as "Ragging it", or "getting on it". I get reminded to do this as I am a naturally easy driver. And very rarely use full throttle.
There's a lot of people out there that just over looks the maintenance of the vehicle. The engine air filter,cabin air filter,even like what you did about cleaning the mass air flow sensor. Just simple things,but sometimes when the small things are over looked it can add up to a big thing! Even something as easy as making sure the throttle body ain't gunked up. Enjoy your vids man,honest and to the point! That's a rare thing any more! 👍👍
Thanks for the video Kenny nicely done 👍❤❤. Take care of yourself and family and friends and be Blessed. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family ❤️.
Merry Christmas Kenny. I work part time at a local AZ store. I give out those printed reports. I tell people that the codes shown MAY or MAY NOT be the issue. That paperwork provides the customer a starting point so they can have some knowledge when they take the vehicle to a mechanic. I also tell people to have their vehicle PROFESSIONALLY scanned. What we have is nothing more than a OBD2 reader that connects to a computer. The computer software then "recommends" a likely fix. It is nothing more than a way for AZ (and other parts stores) to sell parts. It's all about the money.
Only good cold air intake is the Home Depot vacuum hose attached the the bottom of the air filter box with the snorkel where the fog light goes and a weep screen on filter. Check out focus fanatics. 😉
That air filter is filthy and not fitted properly. Best to include a filter clean and refit with whatever you do to that ST. K&N are fine but they aren't fit and forget.
I work at Auto Zone for 5 weeks in early 2024 and did a few "free diagnostics". Complete garbage. Same with Advance Auto and O'Reillys and NAPA. All junk. All push to their sales register to chase parts. Use a local, highly regarded, competent repair shop with a good reputation and yes, you will have to pay for a real scan and diagonistcs but in the long run, worth it. Here in Savannah GA its around $145.00 to $165.00 for a real one.
Little things like checking a battery,no big deal,but actually diagnosing an engine issue,no way! Thankfully though,in the town i live in,i know all the workers at our Autozone,and they are pretty honest. Thank God for small towns! Well,around where i'm from where i live now is a city. Population 16,000. I grew up in a town with Population 140 though! One of them towns where,if you do something wrong on the other side of town,by the time you get home,your parents already heard about,and they meet you at the door with a belt!😂
Parts stores want to sell parts. The trouble is not even the parts store people know enough or care enough to dig into a lengthy diagnosis. A $20 scanner won’t do much of anything, a $75 scanner is a little better but it’s far short of the $5000 dollar scanner which no parts store is likely to use or have employees that can help you enough to get an actual cause and effect scenario that would lead to placing trust in their diagnostic abilities. They are preying on your state of mind and they are taking advantage of your inability to comprehend the problem. Most people don’t know what a carburetor is or what a purge valve does. Car’s used to be simple but the average mechanic shop could resolve the problems with only minimal tools. Just remember that parts store’s are not mechanic’s shops and advice from them is not to be truthful but to steer you to buying parts.
the auto parts store advice is what it is, looks like that one is pretty lame, I have a 2014 wrangler on my lift right now , I asked my customer to stop at a parts place and get a code when I got the first call so I would have some idea came up P06DD, most likely cause was an oil pump, this time Oriellys got it right but it also has a leaking oil cooler and the common pentaster tick looks like the rockers and cam were not getting oil I am hoping I can save it it does run ok but some of the cam lobes have rust on them!! really scary, no oil getting to the top
Should be within a few percent of 0 provided the engine is at operating temperature and the outside air is not at an extreme. And that's for both the short term and the long term readings.
Code diagnostic from parts store is nice you can get the codes and look into it yourself or give them to your mechanic but don't just buy a corresponding part an bolt it on. The Successful repair rate That is low it's a free Educated guess unless you get someone at the Parts store with some repair experience. Not to be down on anyone but pretty unlikely these days. If you like you're being saved money cause mechanic charges you an hour or 2 labor but this is the problem that our tool labor is to drive it and double check they're repair that's where the money is. Ideal with this on almost the daily basis customer says it's this the guide part store says it's this I don't have the tools can you just replace it and I say No I need to do the diagnostic myself to guarantee your repair. Honestly I wish part stores would stop doing that. Unless they have technicians on staff. But you can't have those guys do that for free so you figured out
Merry Christmas, Kenny. You don’t have to go bananas!
Hey,Kenny wealth of knowledge from your vids,thanks,Merry Christmas

You should have used the PCM reset option under Special Functions. That would clear the fuel trims.
Thanks for the video Kenny nicely done 👍❤❤. Take care of yourself and family and friends and be Blessed. Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you and your family ❤️.
I have the ArtiDiag 600S from Topdon and it works great. It looks similar to the one you show here.
Thanks Kenny and Merry Christmas and God bless y'all
Thanks Kenny. I was getting tired of watching Christmas movies. Happy Holidays to You and yours.

Your the man Kenny good move when the owner brought it to you
Does it bring up Wrenching with Kenny videos?
Merry Christmas Kenny. Blessings for your family.
Merry Christmas to you and Mrs wrenching 😊
I can't stand those air filters, to each it's own. I think you're right Kenny, keep us posted. Merry Christmas.
Only good cold air intake is the Home Depot vacuum hose attached the the bottom of the air filter box with the snorkel where the fog light goes and a weep screen on filter.
Check out focus fanatics. 😉
merry christmas to you and mrs wrench
Like the clean shave look and goatee.
Just saw Santa Claus fly over ❤🎉 Headed to your house Mr Kenny, hope he brings you and Mrs Meg all your wishes and joy. 😊🎉
Have to clear memory separately to clear fuel trim on Fords. Merry Christmas!
I hate those oily air filters that most always coats the hot wire in the MAF with goo.
Thank you for the video. Merry Christmas Kenny
Italian tune-up for the win
Vice Grip special?
Merry Christmas, Kenny.
Have very nice holidays and until next time.
Customer: My car is making a rattling sound from the engine.
Auto parts store: Definitely the muffler bearings.
75% tech 25% wrenching nowadays
Never would have autoparts store tell me what's wrong with my vehicles
That air filter is filthy and not fitted properly. Best to include a filter clean and refit with whatever you do to that ST. K&N are fine but they aren't fit and forget.
Merry Christmas everyone 🎉
I don't trust the part store scanner...
Merry Christmas. Love to all.

They will just pull the codes which is a starting point ! Then try and sell you replacement parts related to that DTC !
No Interstate highway nearby to blow the cobwebs out of the Focus?
A nice 75 mph ten minute run should clean it up !
K have you heard of a p0136 code being set by changing oil types in a Toyota? Downstream O2 sensor.
Really I would trust those guys at the auto parts store to diagnose my car. You would have to be an idiot. Thank you for the videos Merry Christmas.

MAF sensor dirty?

Most trouble codes are a result of a loose nut behind the wheel. Right Kenny?

what should the high and low fuel trim be to be normal I have a bluedriver scan system.
Should be within a few percent of 0 provided the engine is at operating temperature and the outside air is not at an extreme. And that's for both the short term and the long term readings.
Get rid of the K&N!
The fact that it makes no sense makes sense.merry christmas!
It sounds like he has a fart can on there for an exhaust. They can cause o2 issue coming to temp. More than likely the down stream.
Merry Christmas Kenny
Happy Christmas and blessings in Jesus Christ to you and your family
correct name is aftermarket hot air intake system factory is the only true cold air
LAUNCH X431
Currently unavailable 😮
low sound Kenny
The description from auto parts store seemed very generic and even antiquated.
I run premium no ethanol i hate ethanol
