@Fmiguelify Many things can cause an engine not to take off correctly, but weak fuel pumps or clogged fuel filters are number one on the list. so check that first. Scotty
Many times rebuilt alternators are crap, so have it tested and replace it if it's gone bad. And of course check all the wires going to the alternator to ensure there are no shorts or cracking insulation on the wires. AND, also load test the battery, because a weak battery can destroy an alternator quickly. Scotty Kilmer
@karlorojo It could be an alarm problem, and if so, I'd disconnect your add on alarm and see if it starts then. NEVER put one alarm system over another. Scotty
@SunGlo49 time for a new engine or car. Knocking is piston slap, and there's a hole somewhere in the engine where the oil is coming out. Have a mechanic look at it to see if the whole engine is shot with a cracked block or thrown rod though. It may be less than that. Scotty
@cashout4lyfe measure the fuel pump pressure near the fuel injectors on the engine top. If you have pressure there, then odds are the injectors are not pulsing fuel as the engine cranks. that's a computer or comptuer sensor problem, such as a bad crank sensor or bad computer. scotty
ages ago I worked on a few french cars, but they don't sell em here anymore. Hardest job was putting a clutch in a 4 wheel drive toyota that I did in a guys driveway all by myself with no jacks. I'll never do that again
@farzini2 Why, I was just there last week visiting my parents on the American side and the falls on the Canadian side. I graduated from York University in 1975, so I know a bit about Canada. Scotty Kilmer
No sensors to disconnect, just do this:IGNITION TIMING Start the engine and warm it up until the water temperature indicator points to the middle of the gauge. Operate the engine at 2000 rpm for 2 minutes under no load. Race the engine 2 or 3 times then idle . Check the ignition timing. Yellow mark is TDC and all other marks are 5°increments Timing should be 15°±2°BTDC. If not proceed to step 5. Adjust the ignition timing by turning the distributor. Scotty Kilmer
@honchoryanc couldn't say, I learned in the school of hard knocks to fix cars from my grandfather the mechanic. But any electronic field would be fine, as everything is going electronic these days. Scotty
Well, one must consider what you would pay a mechanic to do your repairs. You are saving a ton doing it yourself, and the small fee they charge isn't much. Considering that professional mechanics use the same data base, but pay thousands a year for it, this small fee for a do it yourselfer is one heck of a bargain. Scotty Kilmer
@ELDURODE100PRE yes, but you're saving money fixing each car. Me, I have a subscription for the whole data system, but I am a professional mechanic and if you haven't noticed, nothing is free for businesses. After all , you paid for the car too, it wasn't free either.
@Sarita26iv not bushing per se, but I have one showing how to replace a lower control arm as the bushing don't come off on a lexus so you change the whole arm. just go to the scottykilmer channel and type in the search "replacing a lower control arm." Scotty
Well, the money you'd pay a mechanic is astronomical compared to the small less than thirty bucks a year for this information. I personally us all data many times a day in my business and here giving out free information to viewers. Scotty Kilmer
My mechanic teacher at my school has All Data. Its the best program I ever used, ever since I started using that thing, I wanted to fix more cars!!! I used it to repair numerous things on my car the 97 Oldsmobile 88, and other teacher & students cars. Its super easy.
@MonolithTyriss Oh, even those babies are computer operated. Those switches don't go directly to the Ac system, they go to a computer that decides what to do. EVEN an 81 toyota corolla had computer assisted AC. Scotty
It's almost free. Twenty something bucks for such information for a year is a pretty good deal. Mechanics pay over two thousand dollars a year to access all the cars on the site (instead of just one.) And it is WAY better than the printed ones. Scotty Kilmer
If you like my car help, be sure to watch my live car talk show every saturday morning at 10 AM CST on google events.

It's close to free. It costs about 29 US bucks to get a subscription for one car. If you're a mechanic, and you want all cars, then it's two hundred or so bucks per month (the cost of being a mechanic.)
It would have to be the same exact engine, same displacement and same cams to work right. Civics use many different engines and even a small difference will mess with the computer electronics, I see it all the time in botched attempts to get them going. scotty Kilmer
@chironasty It is a pay web site. If you plan on saving thousands repairing your own car, paying twenty something bucks for this information is quite a deal. Scotty
@shuan44 Modern cars are VERY complex, and often serious information is needed to fix them, hence I use All Data. Stuff like brake jobs, fan belts, spark plugs, you don't need such info. But you need it for complex stuff, that's for sure. Scotty
Im an ALLDATA Automotive Information Specialist. I can use this whenever i want ;). FYI: Vehicle scanners dont tell u whats wrong with the car, they just give u a place where u can start from. Example: If you pull a code that means bad O2 sensor. IT DOES NOT MEAN THE O2 SENSOR IS BAD!
@KarstonLikesMustangs It's information, if you want to fix your car and save money, use this system. And if you complain about 29 bucks a year, you're so cheap you shouldn't be driving a car in the first place. scotty
@Ahya728 it can be a Couple of things 1 spark plugs 2 Engine mounts 3 Ignition distributor Not working well 4 Low Turns of the engine in neutral And that is just tightening a screw in the car.
There's a bulb in there that's probably burned out. remove the dash and check for a burned out bulb, then hope the circuit feeding the bulb is OK as they do go out. They don't sell fiats in that states, so no American data system will include them. Scotty Kilmer
man, you buy me, I love engines since I was a baby...4 strokers or 2 st, V-twin, parallel, inline, boxers, 45°´s, wankel but my all time fav the yzr500 owe0 bigbang power stroker
OMG!! Thank you so much for this episode Scotty. This is so much a better tool than trying to find videos for specific repairs for my car. It's nearly impossible to find videos online that exactly match my problem and vehicle. This is going to solve that problem. Thank you Thank you Thank you. :-)
Can't say what's wrong with it but I have an astro that is always low on fuel pressure. However just a spray of starter fluid does the trick for me. I may have a weak fuel pump. I was told the fuel pressure regulator may be bad but if that's so, why can't I smell the extra gas. The van runs great! It just needs starter fluid on cold starts. I can live with that! lol Hey Scotty, I do enjoy your lighthearted look at life! Good show man!
that's right, good information is not always free. I happen to be, but even myself, I pay for that data when I'm working on cars for a living at my garage. It's only twenty something bucks a year, a bargain considering that mechanics charge 100 bucks an hour to fix your car.
Yes, it is a US based data software company, you would need a European one, and as I don't live there, or work on cars there, I couldn't suggest one. Scotty Kilmer
If your dashboard did start smoking, electrical problems exist in the dash, and possibly a lot of other places. Electricity follows wires all through a vehicle, so a problem in one area can quickly spread just about anywhere in the car. Once you actually see smoke, things have gone pretty far already. It may be a true money pit trying to find all the electrical problems that exist. AND, as I've seen it many times, don't just throw in another computer, it may just burn out from other problems.
hi scotty,i've just changed the brake pads on my Hyundai Accent,when i took the old pads out,i couldn't get the new ones in but i noticed some clips at the top and bottom of where the pads sit,i took these clips out and the pads fitted in perfect,so my question is does it matter about the clips not being in?and if so what are they for?because i can't see any way how the pads would fall out but then i thought well they must be there for a reason so i thought i would ask the expert,many thanks
Sir Scotty, I badly need your help. I have a 2003 civic Honda that’s already 15 days in the car shop. Its cranking and all other parts are in good condition. Is it maybe because I have change the original alarm of my car to a new alarm? Do I need reprogram my car? Your good advice is highly appreciated
Hey Mr Kilmer , great videos. Just wondering, have u ever worked on a Citrogen, Puegeot, or maserati ? an whats the hardest car an job u ever did in 44 years in experience. let us know
love the site use it at school all the time. alldata rocks but you didnt mention that it is rather expensive unless you pay for only one car. my teacher told us it cost 2000 with school discount for all of the cars. one kid did buy a subscription for his lancer and said it was only 50. is this right?
Scotty, have you ever fitted an AWD system to a FWD/RWD car? I knwo people tell me to just buy a donor/base car with AWD, but if one is hellbent on getting a unique car or _that_ special car to drive and just want AWD, is it then hard to fit? Can one buy one or does one have to buy an AWD donor car and xfer the system? Does it complicate thing differential wise if one were also tuning the car engine or can the 2 AWD diffs stand as much on each as a RWD diff can? (tia)
@RudeMcNasty Scotty first and foremost I like to say thank you for all the useful information you post on cars! Saying you should be up front is not unreasonable request $20 doesn't seem like a lot until you reach into your pocket and come up empty.
Scotty, how does the pricing/subscription on Alldata exactly work? Do you buy separately for each car, or is it the whole shebang? I only need alldate for two cars. Thanks.
@BIoodThirst55 I have one suggestion, after the repair, did you reset the engine codes? The old days it took unhooking the battery but the newer II models require a reset signal sent from the code reader. We had the emissions board go out 3000 miles within the end of the warranty (whew) but thats where I learnt about that annoying engine light. You may have already tried it but sometimes the obvious isnt so obvious.
If they put in an engine from a different year civic, Good luck trying to get it running right. Computers, sensors, and wiring changes every year. Trying to make the wrong engine work in a different car can be impossible in some cases. It will just be an endless money pit trying to figure out what's wrong, and there is no book that will tell you how to do it. NEVER swap parts from different year cars. Your only hope is to find someone who did that and found out all the things to change. Scotty
@chivasx90 watch my video "how to fix a car that idles poorlY and try all that. Also, try "how to clean fuel injectors on your car" as they often clog up in hondas.
Everything I've learned how to fix on Audi, Alfa Romeo, BMW, Mercedes, Land Rover, etc... have been found free online (never used ALLDATA). I've owned and repaired many cars and others.
Hey I was looking at that data website just the other day, I saw it on the autozone page. Also thats my transmission his looking up lol 4T65e comes in my impala ls 3.8 year 2000.
Hey Scotty , I'm getting into the DIY mechanic scene, as I want to really care for my evo7. Before paying for this site 1. have I found the right one just being called alldata.com or was it something else 2. Will it have all I need for my evo7 3. Does it go into ecu's and how to flash them and all that sort of stuff 4. Does it have in depth explanations as to how and why things work? As I'm new to mechanical work and would really like to be able to learn this without trawling for hours
Scotty, Hello, I appreciate and enjoy your videos, thank you. My question is how do you replace battery cables, I have a 99' Ford Ranger.....I suppose all battery cables are the same..maybe not. Thank you my friend.
hi I was watching a video on the crank but does not start I have a 73 Capriceis doing something like thatI do not know how to change the distributor cap
OH yea. Gee, I've answered a bunch of questions for Australians over the years. Cars are cars, they all work the same, the names may change but their operations are pretty much the same. Scotty Kilmer
ive got a e36 (auto :( ) and when its in park sometimes it idles high and revs itself.. it does so very occaisionaly in drive. how do i stop it? is it an idle control valve?
a scotty hi im a big fan of ur videos n da funny things u b doing anyway i need help real bad i bought dis 2002 mercury cugar v6 automatic i put da key in a all lights turns on but theres no power to da starter,fuel pump,coils n injectors can u try point me to da rite direction where to start or wat to do thank u
I have a question for my pickip truck it has a problem that i dont what is. when i shift down to D and peddla the gas it dos not go like normal it would go mmmmmmmmmmmm bum stars to go fast because i accelerate all the way bottom because it gont go it just goes mmmmmmmmmmmmmm pum. what do you think.
Good info...Alldata is something like $10 a year which is a great deal. I have also bought factory service manuals on CD ROM to get it from the horse's mouth when it comes to repairs. DIY saves tons of money and you can know the job was done right. It's just the big stuff like a transmission rebuild that requires hiring a shop since the DIYers lack the equipment to get it done right. BTW, when does your call in show air on KHOU? I have not seen it for a while.
scotty i have a 2001 saturn sl 1.9 dohc,iam getting a grinding noise when i apply the brakes,sounds like its coming from the front,i replaced the brake lining and rotors,it doesent make the grinding noise all the time,any thoughts?
I can’t find the website also I own a 96 Jaguar XJ6 “the hobby cars” also The JTis haynes software do you recommend me to get this one than the one that I have please reply with the Link! Thank you Scott! 🤙🏼😎🔩🔧
@moe354sa You can save money by selling it and getting a Toyota that is better made. If you want to keep it running though, change the oil a lot and don't overheat the engine on the temperature gauge. And don't drive it like a maniac. Scotty Kilmer
@MrGunrilla old age, worn piston rings and valve seals. Live with it and keep putting oil in it, or rebuild the engine. Scotty
@TheJceo if it's broken you must replace it. a 97 can not be reprogrammed, it does not have that capability

@KLuce6 you hook up a scan computer and see what the code is, then fix that problem. Or you remove the dash and take the bulb out of the light. Scotty
@needzpower2 Yes, subscriptions are even less than 50 bucks for one car for one year. A LOT of information. Scotty Kilmer
@Ahya728 It could be, start there and pray it's not something more complex. like weak fuel injectors. Scotty
@karlorojo It could be an alarm problem, and if so, I'd disconnect your add on alarm and see if it starts then. NEVER put one alarm system over another. Scotty
@SunGlo49 time for a new engine or car. Knocking is piston slap, and there's a hole somewhere in the engine where the oil is coming out. Have a mechanic look at it to see if the whole engine is shot with a cracked block or thrown rod though. It may be less than that. Scotty
@13FravelJ Yes, I can see you get the point. Scotty
@cashout4lyfe measure the fuel pump pressure near the fuel injectors on the engine top. If you have pressure there, then odds are the injectors are not pulsing fuel as the engine cranks. that's a computer or comptuer sensor problem, such as a bad crank sensor or bad computer. scotty

@BIoodThirst55 then you either have a wiring problem in that system, OR a bad main computer. Normally it's the wiring. Scotty
alldatadiy but I can't put the dot com on there as youtube doesn't allow that in this message board.
@farzini2 Why, I was just there last week visiting my parents on the American side and the falls on the Canadian side. I graduated from York University in 1975, so I know a bit about Canada. Scotty Kilmer
I rememeber using alldata when i was talking my highschool autoshop class. It is a very useful program indeed.
@BLAKESTONED most of these cars are customer cars I'm working on. I have 3 toyotas myself. Scotty
No sensors to disconnect, just do this:IGNITION TIMING
Start the engine and warm it up until the water temperature indicator points to the middle of the gauge.
Operate the engine at 2000 rpm for 2 minutes under no load.
Race the engine 2 or 3 times then idle .

yes, check the fuses and relays and PRAY it's just that. Cause those motors cost a small fortune to replace.
Well, the money you'd pay a mechanic is astronomical compared to the small less than thirty bucks a year for this information. I personally us all data many times a day in my business and here giving out free information to viewers. Scotty Kilmer
they just bolt on and off, problem is accessing the ends furthest away from the battery can be a cow, on the starter especially

@kcatto Then you have to use your own computer to fix it (your brain.) Scotty Kilmer
@Toyota4Runner4Ever How do you think? I pay for it, that kind of information for that small amount of money is quite a deal. scotty
Sir Scotty,
I badly need your help. I have a 2003 civic Honda that’s already 15 days in the car shop. Its cranking and all other parts are in good condition.
Is it maybe because I have change the original alarm of my car to a new alarm? Do I need reprogram my car?
Your good advice is highly appreciated
You have great videos. This one is a pearl. Love the Lauren Bacall/Bogart clip. Keep up the great work!!!
alldata, but if you're outside the US, it may not work. They are working on a european version, contact them about that
Hey Mr Kilmer , great videos. Just wondering, have u ever worked on a Citrogen, Puegeot, or maserati ? an whats the hardest car an job u ever did in 44 years in experience. let us know
love the site use it at school all the time. alldata rocks but you didnt mention that it is rather expensive unless you pay for only one car. my teacher told us it cost 2000 with school discount for all of the cars. one kid did buy a subscription for his lancer and said it was only 50. is this right?
Scotty, have you ever fitted an AWD system to a FWD/RWD car? I knwo people tell me to just buy a donor/base car with AWD, but if one is hellbent on getting a unique car or _that_ special car to drive and just want AWD, is it then hard to fit? Can one buy one or does one have to buy an AWD donor car and xfer the system? Does it complicate thing differential wise if one were also tuning the car engine or can the 2 AWD diffs stand as much on each as a RWD diff can? (tia)
go to alldaydiy they sell it one at a time there.
@kilagon10 it's a subscription service, twenty something bucks a year for a car. Scotty
@RudeMcNasty Scotty first and foremost I like to say
thank you for all the useful information you post on cars!
Saying you should be up front is not unreasonable request
$20 doesn't seem like a lot until you reach into your pocket and come up empty.
Scotty, how does the pricing/subscription on Alldata exactly work? Do you buy separately for each car, or is it the whole shebang? I only need alldate for two cars. Thanks.
@BIoodThirst55 I have one suggestion, after the repair, did you reset the engine codes? The old days it took unhooking the battery but the newer II models require a reset signal sent from the code reader. We had the emissions board go out 3000 miles within the end of the warranty (whew) but thats where I learnt about that annoying engine light. You may have already tried it but sometimes the obvious isnt so obvious.
@mizzlazy209 You have to pull the engine out of the vehicle and tear it all down, pulling the heads and everything else off. Scotty
If they put in an engine from a different year civic, Good luck trying to get it running right. Computers, sensors, and wiring changes every year. Trying to make the wrong engine work in a different car can be impossible in some cases.

I have a question for my pickip truck it has a problem that i dont what is. when i shift down to D and peddla the gas it dos not go like normal it would go mmmmmmmmmmmm bum stars to go fast because i accelerate all the way bottom because it gont go it just goes mmmmmmmmmmmmmm pum. what do you think.
Good info...Alldata is something like $10 a year which is a great deal.
I have also bought factory service manuals on CD ROM to get it from the horse's mouth when it comes to repairs.
DIY saves tons of money and you can know the job was done right. It's just the big stuff like a transmission rebuild that requires hiring a shop since the DIYers lack the equipment to get it done right.
BTW, when does your call in show air on KHOU? I have not seen it for a while.
u didnt mention we had to pay for the service
a LOT less than what you'd pay a mechanic 100 bucks an hour to fix it
lol thats fair
Scotty Kilmer no, i do not pay my mechanic over $2k a year to work on my vehicles.
wrong ...
Scotty, how can I have alldata ? like what u have here an what shops have to. not the DIY . let me know thank u
Thank you Scotty I will help others with your information
Is this a website or a software? can you please share the exact links?
I'd never try it, insane changes would be needed to computers, drive train, etc.
@bujashaka I do not condone breaking the law, I would not do that.

I have an old vw scirocco and it breaks down a lot, how can i save money and keep it running?
@moe354sa You can save money by selling it and getting a Toyota that is better made. If you want to keep it running though, change the oil a lot and don't overheat the engine on the temperature gauge. And don't drive it like a maniac. Scotty Kilmer
Whats d link or software for repairing cars?

Scottie this is very useful info...thanks
