Toyota Tundra: Crank, No Start
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 14 ม.ค. 2023
- In this video I have a look at a 2015 Toyota Tundra with the big 4.6 that was towed in as a crank, no start, no fuel pressure. This truck was victim of the parts cannon already so now we have to find the real issue.

Yet another case where you diagnosed and repaired something that other shops couldn't. You're the best!!
He and the wizard just shows how many incompetent people out there unwilling to go learn their trade properly
@@safffff1000 the "wizard" is a joke. He's as fake as they come. Eric O is as real as they come. You can't compare the two. Eric actually works and shows the work and teaches people. The "wizard" doesn't.
@@thagerdorn2009 ????
and NPR to boot
@@thagerdorn2009 the wizard charged hoovie 1500 for a single bad glow plug in his 7.3 excursion. the 8 plug and 2 gasket set is under 100 bucks. rather than replace the bad glow plug he did them all and both gaskets - rip off artist. eric o would have tested the harness and replaced the plug for 200. ivan would have repaired the glow plug for 200. run from the wizard, he is a con man.
I can’t imagine anyone criticizing you for anything. Some people must be just rude. I love your channel and watch everything you post. Thank you for being here.
He reads too many comments LOL Have you ever read any serious criticisms? I'm sure there are some but ive never seen any. And perhaps some are in jest.
Some people 😅😅😅
@@hikerJohn yeah i agree. it is hard not to read comments, because a lot of the comments are really great and people are nice and its a fun place for community. But it seems like the people that just cause a big stink get the most attention and drain Eric O anyway (which I know for me is true on videos I have posted before just trying to help people). In one video he said like 95% of people that call him from online or youtube or are fans have ridiculous expectations or think he is super human. I just want to say that I hope HOPE that his mentality isn't that all his youtube viewers are annoying. There are plenty of us that would be down to drink a beer and hangout without it being weird. I feel bad that it has to go that way. I also think Eric O could start looking for news stations or other outlets that would want him as a commentator or like a "car talk" host for modern cars. Would be fun if someone paid him to just be on the phone and then they edited it down to like an hour long podcast.... something to think about!
and also the sane people don't think you are super human or a superhero-- we just like seeing how different people's brains work with their tools to figure out problems. Every single technician would go about this in a different way. It is fun to think whether or not you would've figured it out yourself and also how different the video would be if it was a @MarioDiagnostics or a @PineHollowAutoDiagnostics or @Grassratsgarage or @goTech or @Ericthecarguy or @ScannerDanner or any of the other great youtube teaching channels. And I think that is sort of what is cool about your videos you're still teaching but it isn't like here let me take you through steps a-z. It is more like a blend between a video directed specifically at DIYers who want to know how to do a job, and still fast-paced and interesting enough for real technicians to watch and follow. It has something for everyone. When it is making content for the good of others and for entertainment not just for how many clicks can we get and how much $$ can we make from this video-- that is why we all watch your videos. The content is still really real-- and you aren't just getting yourself into problems to make videos where there would be no money in it otherwise. Hope that all makes sense. I just like supporting people that have made such great content and really transformed the automotive space on TH-cam (it evolved because of you) and I think everyone that has tried to be a part of that or to help someone else out deserves a piece of that pie. Anyone that has posted a video thinking hey this might help somebody, and they did it for that reason, we all deserve a pat on the back.
Just like the armchair quarterback alway second guessing the professional.
Eric would be a great mentor for any young person to apprentice under.
I agree. So many young techs rely so much on software but nothing can replace experience!
@@countrygirl9259 you got that right!
In a world full of automotive "technicians" it is great to see a "mechanic" who can diagnose and troubleshoot an issue. Well done Eric.
Thanks for watching
You're luckily selected
For the giveaway session
Text with the above for claim⬆️
I will put up with 50 furnaces and no speech ... as long as there is another SMA video from Mr.O!!
what happened to his speech?
@@timsouttaheredental work. He said something about a spacer or spreader in the last video.
@@timsouttahere palate expander.
@@timsouttahere dental work
@@timsouttahere he ate too much ice cream!
First time I’ve seen an engine wearing a toupee.
It's the new Toyota Boris Johnson engine 😉
😂😂😂😂😂
Avoca is the luckiest small town in America, I can guarantee you that. Gotta be a good feeling knowing Eric is down the street. Everything from a big 1.5l to a 6.7l, its covered.
your patient and thorough diagnostics come through for the customer yet again. I'm teaching my grandson to diagnose and this is the lesson I focus on, start from the beginning, no matter who has worked on it before. Check everything as you go. So many electrical issues boil down to the smallest unforeseen issue. Great job man
I'm with Eric, someone was jamming probes in that connector.
Definitely
Goes to show the value of a good expensive mechanic vs a cheap one
Now its like a hotdog in the hallway...LOL!
Front probing an electrical connector with a 12d nail is never a good thing 😉
@@agger838 Eric mentioned his hourly rate recently and he is not expensive. He is an excellent, great value mechanic.
I can’t believe I am hooked on your channel. Not a mechanic, but am a car guy and love your troubleshooting technique and thought process. You are very rigorous and I love your sense of humor and plain talk. Love it!
Same here. Motorsports enthusiast, car guy, electronics engineer... I like that he truly troubleshoots everything.
It's also nice when he has the right tools. It makes it easy to follow along and there's not a lot of hackery going on.
Great job Mr. O, and nobody is concerned with your speech. Successful man who's taking care of himself, his customers, and most importantly his family. Good for you! Keep it up sir
This is quite possibly the greatest first 60 seconds of any SMA video I’ve yet seen. The scraping, the scream at the barnyard under the hood; and the Brakekleen intro sound. The whole 9 yards 😂 peak upstate NY right here!
You can guarantee when Mr O looks at a problem it will get fixed. I have been watching your videos for sometime now and I always enjoyed them. Keep up the good work.
Isn't that the truth.
All the crap he fixes from other shops.. Imagine if they're weren't people like him- the junkyards would be littered with even more dead cars sporting lots of new parts.
Not everything can be fixed... so if Mr O says it can't be fixed or isn't worth fixing, you're wasting money if you'd still push to have it repaired.
I love how these videos cover the entire range of shop tools. Recently Eric O replaced the sub-frame on a Subaru and needed the three foot long wrench with the 25 mm socket. In this video the auto repair-shop tool is literally as small as a pin, because it _is_ a pin. Amazing.
A tool as small as a pin and a brain as large as a planet.
@@Starchface Now, now. His name is not Marvin or Hector.
dont forget the fluid film. ETCG did a cool subframe video where he fabricated a cradle to lower the frame onto with the engine attached. then just too both out from under the car. personally, i need to replace the rear subframe of my park avenue. found a pristine one at the junkyard. waiting for the ground to freeze
A few years back, my 2015 Tundra with 5.7 FFV started having cold start issues. It turned out to be the fuel density sensor was sending faulty signals telling the ECU that the fuel was E85, not standard 87 octane gas with 10% ethanol. Toyota re-flashed the ECU for free, and I’ve had no problems since. Just posting this in case someone else is experiencing the same cold start problem.
For the critics, thank you for all you share with us. Love your style, integrity, and generosity in sharing your knowledge with us.
I wish we had a mechanic like you in our area!
Wishing the same here in Calif.
@@albertchan3184 ....Evidently it seems to be a Epidemic of lazy, loser so-called "mechanics/techs" that can't diag or fix 💩💩💩💩!!!!...Took my Ford f150 5.0 to a shop a month ago....Since it was Holidays time, they let it sit almost a month...Didn't fix 💩💩💩, but charged me $70.00 to move the trk 25ft from one parking spot to another...I paid it, but I was super pissed off ... Soo it's a major problem tryna find a decent mechanic in any city, unless they are on TH-cam....
And the South Main Auto labor rate is $85 per hour, roughly one-half the rate at large dealerships, of course, factory trained dealerships do everything right, all of the time, and they do it as fast as humanly possible.Edit - this last part is Sarcasm
I will say you likely do, just haven’t found them. Not everyone is Eric O. but even Eric O. will tell you he’s not perfect and if he can do it you can do it.
i wish elon musk would fund Avoca Technical college and hire eric as the lead auto instructor. one trainee from every state in the union every year to spread the gospel of honest competent insightful car repair.
Its always good to see a automotive technician who actually fixes a problem the correct way instead of being a parts cannon.
Haha! Parts cannon is so true!
The glasses make you look like a professor!
Professor of Mechanics!
And Ivan would be proud of you, "No parts required"
The one thing I give you tons of credit for Eric You get cars that no one else has been able to fix and you do exactly the right thing disregard everything the other guys said that didn't figure it out and start from the beginning With taking into account The storyline behind the issue
Reading electrical diagrams is beyond the skill set of most DIYers and a lot of dealership "mechanics". As a one time owner of older vehicles ( never bought anything newer than 3-4 years old) I found dealerships to be a waste of money and time. Finding
an experienced mechanic with his own shop, like Eric , kept me on the road. Simply seeing the same problems with different makes over time can be a huge plus. Great work as usual Mr. O. 👍👍👍☑☑☑
Never bought anything newer than 15 yr old.
Interesting to see the tumbleweed the "previous" mechanics left for no reason. Thanks Mr. "O" for the content, stay warm.
The reason it gets left is because rodent and animal damage is normally something that insurance will cover, but the insurance agents will only accept the claim if they can physically see the nest/ animal present when they come over to visually inspect the vehicle. So shop policy is to leave the nest in place until the adjuster okays for repairs, or after (other) repairs are made. It's silly but it makes sense, dang adjusters don't believe pictures and videos.

It's interesting to see the OWNER never lifting the hood.
What sets you apart to me compared to others is the troubleshooting you do and also make it look easy. These vids heip me so much to watch how it should be done. Thank you
Outstanding detective work. Master mechanic at work. The gold standard. Why aren't all mechanics this good?
You have to care to be good ! Remember , mechanics have to live with their mistakes,,,,, Doctors Bury theirs !
I am constantly amazed at how a small connection can cause such large problems.
its a house of cards baby.
I think of getting older as getting more experienced & knowledgeable. Knowledge is power. I love watching your channel b/c it's enjoyable watching you diagnose & fix cars. I couldn't work on cars for the past 3 years b/c of my cancer & stem cell transplant so hopefully I'll be back working on cars & fishing bass tournaments again in a few months. Again thanks for the videos they helped keep me inspired. God is great!
I wish you a speedy recovery, Sir! o7 God Bless you.
Don’t worry about the vernacular: as an electrical engineer, at the end of the day our goal is to figure out what the thing is supposed to do. The function can usually be distilled simply: a pin either goes to ground or to a higher voltage from ground. If it’s an NPN BJT, it turns on and pulls the circuit to ground when the middle pin voltage increases and we can distill the problem to power, ground, control, or component fault. Complexity is the root of all evil, make things simple :)
I watch a half dozen different mechanics on TH-cam. If you want to learn the right way to solve a car problem, SMA is the place to go. Methodical, patient, experienced, those are the skills needed to repair or maintain a car. Lots of TH-cam mechanics, Eric at SMA is a pro.
AMEN FOR SURE GOOD BUDDY
Thanks for struggling through your dental work to keep the videos coming! I think that I would have given up long ago.
Two days ago I watched a video you made where you resolved a traction control issue with an Impala. I've had problems with my traction control for years and your video helped me troubleshoot and finally fix the problem! The harness going to the wheel was bad. No visible breaks but the wiring inside the casing was horribly corroded and broken in multiple spots. Thanks and keep up the great work!
Yep typical chev impala. Always been an issue up front with bad wiring to the speed sensor.
@Sicktrickintuner the amount of electrical issues make me afraid of how bad their electric cars will be...
@@fixingitrightish for sure ! Wiring & aluminum corrodes very quickly in road salt areas !
That's not a relay, Eric; it's a Fuel Elf! ;)
Awesome find, and good catch on the connector latch!
Never underestimate the power of dirt. I had a Yukon about a month ago, where one muddy park sensor connector was bringing down the whole bus. Laundry list of codes across multiple modules, took quite a while to pinpoint the problem. Cleaned the connector and the sensor, plugged it back in, and voila! Worked great! Moved the vehicle to the parking lot, and it failed again. The same dirt that had shorted the LIN bus, also spread the pin juuust enough to create an intermittent fault.
I always learn something from your videos and it helps me be a better mechanic. Thanks for sharing everything you do, the effort is appreciated.
This is exactly the type of video we come to your channel to see. Brake jobs and water pumps are filler material that we can sort of watch but the electrical trouble shooting or mystery noise. Also like the unusual things like the inside of a transfer case or the seal videos.
Tell me about getting older. Will be 76 this month and working on cars, trucks, and lawn mowers is tougher than it used to be. You stll have a lot of time. You do good work.
Fantastic video!! Great to know how you go after the issue step by step. HAPPY NEW YEAR TO YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!!
We truly appreciate all you teach us&show us Eric thank you.
Palate expanders are a pain. I had one in grade 6, right after I started a new school.
Glad you are still making videos
Just commenting for the algorithm. Guess I should say while I'm here... You're already adapting to the new dental work, Mr. O; your speech is much improved even from just the last video. Don't be embarrassed about it, my friend... there's a lot of us out here that have gone through the same thing. Multiple times, here.
You are the rare breed my man. Thank you for the hard work and honesty.
You do great work. I have learned a lot from you. Not just on vehicles, but troubleshooting in general. May God bless you and your family.
You are a fantastically gifted mechanic. Love watching your videos!
You're a great mechanic. You take your time to properly diagnose and repair the problem.
My daily driver is a 2015 5.7L Tundra (100K) - No rodents yet - Nice video - Excellent investigative diagnostics and repair - Keep the ‘em coming !
I learn so much from this channel and find it thoroughly entertaining. I’m not much of a mechanic. I understand a lot of these things in principle but have little practical experience. I retired at 60 but when I was working, I was extremely busy and traveled about 26 days of the month. So when something needed to be fixed or just maintained (home or cars) I hired others to do the work. I’m 72 now and between bad back and shoulders I don’t do a lot other than watch / learn things on TH-cam. This is among my favorite channels so thank you for what you do. You have given me the motivation to work on simple things that I can readily get to and you have kept my mind stimulated. The good news is I am never in a hurry so if it takes me 4 days to do what you accomplish in 30 minutes, that is just fine with me.
I cannot imagine anybody criticizing you for calling the relay or whatever I love the videos and the way that you show us how to do
Just visit Vise Grip Garage sometime if you think Eric is bad at calling items the way he does.
It’s been great watching your channel grow. Been here since 50k I’ve learned a lot. And if you can do it I can do it to. Thanks for all education you do.
Ditto's. With one exception, my body doesn't flex like his anymore.
Great mechanic who doesn't replace unless he has to. Keep up the great work !
No matter how your voice sounds, you always make prefect sense. Thanks for the extra effort needed to make such good videos! 🙂
I'm more of a shade tree mechanic and so very impressed with your videos. 45 years never had my car at a dealer or any mechanic for that matter until this last Friday and they did a recall on the airbag of my 2013 Chevy 1500, thank you for posting them. Plus you make me laugh so many times, I thank you.
We just had our 2014 Yukon XL Denali in for air bag recall last week, went smoothly. Of course the "recommended repairs" came out to $1746, none of which were needed. Like $50 for battery service: its battery terminals were cleaner than a 2023 on their lot !!! Our only previous experience with the dealer was when they threw their hands up and stated "we have absolutely no idea what is wrong" about intermittent failure to close on our 2005 Yukon; finally after a fight they refunded our money for the non-repair, had made it clear in advance that I'd pay for a repair but not for a guess, and they agreed. Of course the dealer did try to tack on a $50 hazardous waste disposal fee then, even though nothing was ever disposed of....
Watch Wes Work, Sarah n tuned, Project Farm and now a new Eric O video...a perfect Sunday evening !
I just want to say that your videos are truly inspiring. Inspiring in the fact that you have a way of explaining your process along the way the entire time that is easy to follow and teaches methods and small details that lots of shops and techs miss all the time. I’ve honestly used things I’ve seen in your videos to help me learn and practice electrical diagnostics in my career now. I would honestly put your videos at the top for informative AND entertaining to watch. Thank you greatly for creating the content that you do!
Eric, from where i am (80), you’re not old. :)
Some knucklehead probably front-probed that connector and spread the pins out when they were throwing that relay at it, then couldn't figure out why it still didn't run. Guessin the module was actually bad but they didn't get to enjoy the fruits of their labor because they trashed the connector. It's surprising how little it takes to ruin a terminal. Nice find, Eric!
Eric, thank you for the video. You are a wizz... of troubleshooting electrical problems. Love the channel. Take care, thanks 😊
Love the videos. I love car talk, but always come here to see actual diagnosis and work getting done (along with the car talk of course).
Your deductive reasoning is awesome. Thinking is a wonderful thing, guessing is a bad thing. Another great job
Your the man big O. Love the schooling you do on every videos.
Mr.O,I would watch your videos if they were in sign language or even Morse code. Love the content and presentation. Best wishes to you and your family for a great 2023 sir.
Awesome job, no parts required, thanks for bustin ur hump to bring us along up close to see the tug test, always luv the jams on the test drive, thanks for posting Mr Magoo!😅
"Darn tootin'" haven't heard that in a long while! Love the videos, keep up the great work!
Way to go Eric, you fix the unfixable! Always look forward to the next episode of SMAR(t). Cheers!
I wish I could give you more than one thumbs-up for this video. 👍👍👍👍👍 Thanks for the quick tour around your town. 😃
Excellent job Mr. O! And I can understand you with no problem, though some of your circuit discussions are over my head sometimes. Also I am here for the long run!😀
Eric you are the best! I learn so much when I follow your troubleshooting. I hope I can apply it when I see problems because if you overlook one step it can bite you!!!
Always the greatest of respect for Mr. O's professionalism.
I love these videos. Hanging with my buddy Eric, looking over his shoulder and learning stuff. And sometimes he has a huge squirrel nest to show me! Good times!
Great Diag Eric. Love your method of troubleshooting.
Simple, meticulous, and straightforward diagnosis. Fantastic job! I'm looking forward to more videos!
Fantastic work on this truck. Very few places works go that far too repair a wiring harness like that. I could only wish to have a reliable guy like you around my area! Keep up the great work!.
BTW I love your commentary during the checking for the"tightness"check.
My new favorite channel. My goal for this year is to put my "parts cannon" away and put on my thinking cap. Keep up the good work. You are a great mechanic!
Great job! Another perfect diagnosis and repair!
Classic SMA- diagnose, test, fix. A good lesson for all of us for the systematic approach. Pleasure to join you on this Mr O
I really enjoy watching you work - always very thorough! I have always wondered how folks receive information on what's currently wrong with their vehicle is likely something caused my someone else, or perhaps their lack of attention to detail (messing up a connector with their "technique", etc.) - though in a case like this, everyone's probably happy with a no-parts-required repair - just an hour or two of labor!
Love watching your videos. I like to work on my vehicles at home. Im learning alot from your videos.
No need to fret over any negative responses to taking care of yourself! I appreciate what you do and how you do it--methodically, patiently, and correctly. I look forward to seeing more!
You make it look so easy. Natural born genius.
True professional at your trade. You make every repair look easy. I got a chevy belt-pulley squeal, squeak that I'll be driving through your town with lol. Don't listen to those talkers. Stay humble.
I'm getting better at wiring and electrical but this is crazy that you found that your the man mr. O
Very impressed with the way you track the problem and fix it. Wish I had the patience that you have
Love and respect from Robinson Tx. You are a rock star
As always with your diagnosis. You start with the basics. Verify those basics and as you verify you find the problem. Many, myself included might have not checked the pin tension. Excellent video and lesson. Thanks Eric
awesome job you did fixing a problem nobody could fix keep up the great work
Wow. I've been troubleshooting a lot of years - and have never thought of checking pin tension this way. You never stop learning... thanks, you're awesome!
Thanks to you and Ivan, I've gained a wealth of knowledge (that I've actually been able to use on my RV) for checking powers and grounds, then double checking the connections. I had an erratic connection on one system, and upon further checking I found that one of the pins was like you ran into here - zero compression on the mating pin. Saved myself a huge headache!! Thanks, Eric O!!
Don't forget about rainman Ray's videos too awesome tech too
@@betomendez4304 I think an awesome collab would be VGG, Rainman and Eric.
Nicely done Eric O. Great work as usual 👍👍❤️❤️❤️ it. Take care of yourself and family ❤️❤️👍✅ All good.
Love the patience and commitment to excellence.
Neither slurring, furnace or rodents will ever ruin the experience of watching you troubleshoot cars. Ive learned so mutch Eric. Great content! best wishes from all the way in Norway
I think it is great how you pin-pointed that problem so quickly.
Your attention to detail is great sir.
Yet more quality diagnosis man. Absolutely excellent 👌
Amazing you fixed this so quickly.
Love your vidieos you're systematic in all your repairs
Thank you Eric. Love your channel. Very educational (and entertaining).
Good job done there and well found. Your speech is getting better fella. Thumbs up from a cold and snowy Scotland.
You are like a fine surgeon good job as usual Mr. O
As a Tundra owner, i would like to see more Tundra videos. But i know, they dont break often. I chuckle to now end watching you fix what other shops did not.
Mr. O is a Tundra owner as well!
Nice job once again Mr O! Outstanding!😊❤
Once again Eric a great diagnostic video. Cheers from Australia.
Dude you are totally awesome. Also, I can empathize with you and the need for glasses for looking at stuff up close. Cheers, Eric!
Just wait till your wearing 3x trust me I know, remember Mr Magoo ?
Nice diagnosis and repair Eric!
Enjoy your videos, entertaining and informative. Hope ya get feeling better.
