- In this video I prove why it pays to slow down and look at your data, gather the clues, plan the work and work the plan. I see it all to often where other shops "do the fuses," "do the grounds" and "do the relays," with no real direction. If you don't have a trail to follow it is just guessing. -Enjoy!

Clever fix - well done. Snappy jokes, Mrs O, dogs, lunch, snacks, hunting tales. Another great SMA video.
"I'm gonna go lollygag for a while...drink coffee....flirt with my wife" That's the way ya treat the apprentice! lol
I'm sure the apprentice prefers not having SMA looking over his shoulder...at least I would.
@@larryehrlich57 i would love to have SMA look over my shoulder at his age.
Better have him check the muffler bearing too. Better safe than sorry! 😉
Old guy I worked with went to his Volvo specialist friends workshop. When he walked up stairs, the apprentice was working on mechanics wife. She was a born again Christian, supposedly. Her friend was a born again tramp too, who lectured me against sex before marriage. I guess the devil made them do it.
'The top of the battery looks like a Chia Pet' -sounds like a great idea for next Christmas. Chia Delco.
Came from another shop. " Well there's your problem, lady!"
funny guy
really eh. that client will never go back to that shop. or their friends and family.
Bahahahaha
SMA proves that all vehicles can have problems, and the importance of knowing an honest mechanic. True pros over at SMA!
I don’t know any honest mechanics.
@@picklerix6162 me neither lol but I'd take my car to SMA for sure
There are honest mechanics very far few and between but they can be found Eric O Is a very honest upfront great mechanic who cares about his customers as do most of us
@@picklerix6162 the most honest mechanic nowadays is YOURSELF
Big difference in honesty and know-how, no guessing at the problem here at SMA.
Scotty just threw his cat pillow at the monitor screen.
@@righteousone1 he moved to Tenn to reduce his tax burden
@@righteousone1 You meant Biden 2 years just to resign and Kamilla 2 years aka 1 term.
@@righteousone1 He'll be 86? Nah, he'll be in a home way before that.
BTW, what is a Biden supporter doing on an auto mechanic's page???? Shouldn't you be watching Ru Paul's drag race?
@@Volusiaev What is a draft dodger doing in the White House???? Shouldn't he be moving to Russia?
@@bigboxes Still on that "Russia" thing... Have you even read the declassified info from that investigation? It was all FAKE!
What you should be asking yourself is what about Biden, his son, and his brother taking millions from China?
Took less time to fix the car than brown the meat.
Took a lot less time than towing it to his shop.
Apparently "doing" grounds doesn't involve actually fixing them...
And it was probably one of the easiest grounds to check 🤣🤣an eyelid bolted to the side of the head.
Looks like he cleaned they eyelet which isn’t a bad idea but he was shooting in the dark.
By doing the grounds the other shop meant that the battery had a negative cable.
Scotty: REV UP YOUR ENGINES!!
Mr.O: Hold on a second
even toyotas get murdered by those salty new york roads.
gotta get under the hood and oil up your grounds. on any car.
@@dinobot_maximize not in texas, car will go 300k before u have to do anything like that as long as you garage it
He spent more time with Mrs. O than diagnosing the car 🤣🤣
Respect
That reminds me I need to have my fuses done
do them good, then do the grounds....
Also, if you didn't already switched to winter air, do that asap. Your tires will thank you.
@@JT-lq4yd Just don't let Eric give you any bad air!
Theres a fuse salon down the road where you can get your fuses done. It's run by a bunch of robots though. 🤖
Does "do fuses" mean to change them all out?
Thank you so much for this chanel, I just started at Mavis and wowed them all by solving a no crank on a bmw, it was a lost ground, they ended up replacing the starter and obviously didn't work. I knew it was something to do with a ground from a past video about voltage drop from you. They didn't trust me because I was a tire Tech or aka a lube tech. I went into the office the next day, told them I can get the bmw started in 5 mins. Got a jumper cable, plugged one onto the battery one onto the engine block and BLAM started. You have no idea how much your videos help me with cars I have and how informative they are, never change, your changing lives that you never met.
this is my favourite auto repair channel
I'm moving to Avoca NY just so I can bring my car here when it breaks. 👍
I can almost hear Scotty spitting all over himself defending his beloved Toyota's honor.
toyota doesnt need defending. this was a small issue. its not like it needed a engine like whatever rust bucket your drive. american brands gave up on quality in the early 2000s now let's look at you spit all over yourself trying to defend them
defend your stockholm syndrome, boy! give those cheap american cars more money!
do you see eric owning any american brands? lol
Makes you wonder if he's got a tramp tat that says Toyota
Toyotas runs like rock in Asai and Africa. they selling crap here or what lol 😝😂
"My kitchen is three feet wide!
No it isn't! It's one, two, three, four.."
Stand down brother! This is not our battle to win!
I'm waiting for a early Geo Metro to show up in Eric's shop just to hear him say "Got a Geo Metro in with the big 1.0 engine".
3 cylinder fire breather.
The last one of those was turned into razor blades years ago.
@@richdelgatto2522 - Chinese razor blades!
I'd wager there might be 1 or 2 sitting in someone's climate-controlled garage ... with the #3 rod hanging out of the block. 🤣
I have one in the garage...what's it worth?
@@tedtenny - Throw it on Barrett-Jackson! You might get $1k for it in mint condition! 😜
It's always the last wire, no matter which end you start on :)
Wow, an actual Mrs. O sighting that lasted more than 10 seconds for a change. Y'all are so funny together.
“didn’t do the grounds long enough, premature with the grounds” 😂
3 of 4 grounds, he didn’t sink the battleship.
I probably woke my wife up laughing at that one lol
Is there a pill for premature grounds?
Is the charger ever set on anything BUT nuclear?
No... it only has one setting...⚠
Lol
Yeah. Off.
If you can't smell the battery charging from across the shop, then your doing it wrong!
Yes. NOOK-yooler! :O)
Scotty couldn't carry your jockstrap. He has a 2 minute-11second video on how to replace your engine. You are the bees knees. Not impressed with that guy.
I put my local mechanic onto your channel. He has just finished his training and I thought that it would be a great idea for him to learn even more than the basic information.
Am pissing my pants with this one.... 🤣
@@cambassplayer666 it's really no joke. you would learn more here than at a tech school.
Good stuff
WoW..The SMA kitchen has really come a long way !
Mrs O's will need to do a kitchen drawer/cabinet tour to satisfy all the people at home & show off the latest & greatest fancy-smancy gadgets from the Bed, Bath & Beyond truck.
Your diagnosis was ungrounded. But the repair was well grounded.👍🏻
My thoughts exactly. Eric O is a class act. The interaction with his wife is the icing on the cake! IMO the American dream. Stay safe and have a gr8 God bless day.
As always educational and entertaining. I appreciate watching a professional and honest mechanic applying skill and knowledge to solve a problem. Thanks Mr. O!
You always know it's the last one you check because when you find it you stop looking lol
No, it's always the last one. If Eric had tested the ground first, it would have been the positive supply that was bad. It's actually a quantum mechanics thing: the engine is in a superposition of all possible defect states (some number "N"), and N-1 possibilities must be eliminated before you find the cause. Same for a missing socket: Initially it exists in all drawers of your tool chest simultaneously, but as you search each drawer, the quantum waveform partially collapses so that the socket only exists in the drawers you haven't checked yet.
@@johnallen1901 You're making my brain hurt.
Its a bit like Schrödingers Cat. Its in there and isn't.
One thing is true regardless of industry.. never, ever, trust the "i've done xyz".
Towed from another shop... All you need to know. Let the Dr O do his work!!!!! 👍🔥👍
"We got grounds! We got Mrs. O.! We got another shop that failed miserably and gave Dr. of Motors Mr. O. more money!"
What? Scotty is wrong? :)
Sorry to have to be the one to tell you sir....
he's actually not. small repairs can happen but rarely catastrophic. talking crap about a boomer who has more subs than all his haters combined lol
@@dinobot_maximize Relax, it's an inside joke between Eric and myself.
LOL - Hey Wyatt!
@@dinobot_maximize he's still an ass hat
Big fan of the channel. I prefer watching your nerdy test light videos over anything on netflix. SMA keeps it 100
Nice work! Grounds are always sneaky. Back when MTV used to play music, there was a Downtown Julie Brown as a host. Kinda reminded me of that
Waba Waba Waba
I was from the Alan Hunter and Nina Blackwood days, lol. MTV was already headed in a downward spiral by then. I remember it well! :D
2 words: Martha Quinn. A now-long-gone website described her partially this way: "Some guys still spontaneously *** when Flock of Seagulls videos come on. I'v heard." She also became idolized in a rock song that you can research.

@@stonesauer5781 that was my favorite!
Just a note, to please be careful when you plan to buy an older, third-generation Toyota RAV4 compact SUV, especially the ones with the four-cylinder engine. They are well known to have excessive oil consumption and they break down a lot. Thank you very much.
They have really bad rust proofing as well. There's actually a recall for pearl white as it just chips away in the wind. However, post 2009 they seemed to fix the valve body oil issues.
Im a really good guesser though. 95% of the time I guess it right everytime. If that doesnt fix it blame the parts shop. "Probably a bad batch of alternators from the factory!" its that easy.
A shop with a full kitchen and a beautiful chef. You're my new hero.
"However you do a fuse, I don't know..." My inner 12 year old is laughing his ass off.
So nice to see an actual honest American with his feet and skillful hands on some solid ground.
How's Miss Hannah and Marie? Always think about them. 😊
I am commenting while watching, no blown fuses is what the man means. The hard crank on one cylinder seemed to clear up, extra fuel probably not extra coolant, tank over there looks ok. Jumper in the ground at the injector while you are there and try to start, then trace back from there as you have done quick and easy enough. Can't trust anybody, just start from scratch and don't worry about what other techs have done. Now if another car comes from that shop, don't need to call to see what they have already done. Voltage drop grounds as opposed to cleaning grounds. Of course, there are known bad grounds but only experienced techs will know this as an old school Honda Thermostat housing ground. Another great video and nice family and dinner.
I did cross my fingers for you and it worked lol
Excellent job. You can't assume someone's troubleshooting was thorough or correct. If the shop had checked at the injector they would have known their eyes were lying to them. Chasing your tail can happen real fast.
SMA on a Monday? YES!
Every car owner could only wish to have a shop such as yours to go to. Thanks.
I wish that dealership service departments would apply logic to electrical issues
Then I wouldn’t have to spend endless hours in waiting areas and driving loaners
That’s my rant for the evening Lol
Excellent work and another good tutorial
I don’t like Ricotta either
I'm so glad that you acknowledged that Toyota products have problems just like any other vehicle out there and I'm glad you mention Scotty and his nonsense
Mrs. O: The kitchen is only 3 feet wide.
Mr. O: It's 4 feet wide.
Mrs. O: No, it's 3 feet wide.
Mr. O: OK.
He's had arguments like this before!
Yes some arguments are better lost. 🤣🤣
Women are always trying to short you on the size.
Great video Eric! I’m just surprised that it didn’t have 4 new ignitions coils in it when you got it haha
They did tell me they did "try" a ckp sensor and O2 sensors but the parts store allowed them to send them back haha... No joke, true story
Imagine the look on Scotty's face when a Toyota won't start.😡 His hands and arms flailing all over the place and his lips quivering while screaming Toyota at the same time.
HAHAHAA! He'd have a stroke! Might be real good for his view counts, though. 😁
Not to mention spit flying out his mouth like it does on a regular basis
Scotty: its normal wear n tear
Any other car: its a pos get a toyota
"By doing the grounds" the other shop meant they had coffee rather than finish the job.
I had a 18' Rav 4 in the shop today....they do break down 4sure🤣
18 foot! I didn't know they made them that big.

Another shorty !!! Pretty soon all you will be doing is commercials about fixing it !!!!!! Maybe you have fixed everything in Avoca !!! You only get other shops work now !!! Drive down main street and toss out some nails for a mile or two - then you can fix some flat tires - only flat on the bottom lady !!!!! Enjoyed the tour of Rachael Ray (with her hair up) cooking in her kitchen - I swear I smelled the aroma of that venison hamburger way down here in Florida......damn, that's some good looking eats !!!!!!! A conglomerate of ground wires at one point with 99% good and one bad wire !!!! I will test "" Very Thoroughly "" from now on .... not just "" do "" them !!!!! If you fail to plan....plan to fail !!!! Video was great with a lesson for everyone !!!!!!
Took longer to watch then to fix. Love it!!!
Other shop: "Eric, I did everything you said to do in your last video and it still won't start! Help!"
I enjoy all the love most youtube mechanics have for each other. Except Scotty Kilmer.
he's exempt, he's been doing it for a 145 years..
@@halleffect1 Driving Toyotas before there were Toyotas.
I got tired of all his stupid , you tube is shutting me down, or I'm going out of business, the cops shut me down, ECT. ECT
What your saying is they tried the bare minimum and they ran out of ideas....
Jay seems like a man I could be a best friend with.
Weston too!
I like your videos and I like the green Krusteaz you find because that's what I look forward to when I have a little problem with my wiring on my vehicles and you know Denise in Michigan you have salt too but not maybe as bad as where you're living but I swear they make the grounds in the wrong place for the environment in these vehicles. The kitchen really looks nice did a great job this when you got it up put it in that way plus I bet you get a little better food too and your wife's happier have a great day
Sorry, but that Scotty character needs to lay off the caffeine and get a hearing aid..... and yes, Toyota's do break.
"You've got a nice comment here, S. Ferg. Be a pity if something were to happen to it. 'Cause things break, don't they?" :)
Scotty is good 👍 but Eric is the best! Good to see the better half & dogs. I am impressed 😊 with your skills! Thanx You ❤️
"despite what scotty says" 🤣
Could you go over your electrical background? Your training for your stong diagnostic skills?
Is this on the job training or a mix of some formal education?
Only believe half of what your eyes see. Prove it works instead of just looking at it. Another SMA win.
I honestly don't think there is a better mechanic on TH-cam than Eric-O . I get on here every weekend hoping to find a another great videos. I like the 1 hour long videos tho. I watch it on my TV so relaxing & educational
That’s a very nice office kitchen. Congratulations on your success in life. I’ve been watching since the beginning and I’ve learned a lot over the years from you. I’d like to say thank you.
You're an honest mechanic that knows his stuff. Love your videos
But Scotty says these things will run forever with no issues. Who am I to believe...LOL
I've learned so much from SMA. Thank you Eric. Good job Mrs. O on your buck.
Just a tip for you guys. Toyota will sometimes set crank or cam sensor codes with low batteries. If no other codes are present check your battery, clear the codes, and restart the vehicle.
Grounds commonly overlooked found usually after parts Cannon is emptied.
Just start replacing sh*t 😂
@@nmatthew7469 common today..
Bamm Done. You realize the quicker you fix the car the car the lower the amount of money you get. Dumb mechanics make more money?

Master mechanic mr. O. There are bad mechanic and good mechanic. Always look for a good mechanic.
Great video!
So, did Scotty lie?
Still curious about that undulating crank speed indicating a low compression cylinder
The way you explain the diag process is *money in the pocket*. Thanks Eric!
Not weak sauce. Not at all. Once again, very informative, educational, and entertaining, all in one.
Love your videos since l retired! Brings my wife and I back when we had our auto repair business! Closed it in 2011.
Why did y’all close down I love working at independent shops the owner seem to care about their employees at the ones I work at now and the one I worked before dealerships are like the mafia never will I work at a dealership agin
@ We closed our do to health reasons, couldn't do it anymore! All my customers were like family, deeply missed.
Always enjoy watching you go through your diag process. "Dr. O"
The other shop was Watch Wes Work, that's his wife's car! (joking)
Boom, shots fireddddd 😂😂
Poor Wes. 😂
THE MAN puts his magic on it again. Premature anything is bad, but evidently premature grounding is second on the list.
@ 8:05, Always the last one? The trick is to start in reverse.
I've tried that... still is the last one
@@SouthMainAuto - I'm glad I'm not the only one that happens to!
Even if there are only 2, it's always the one you didn't try first.
I hate when people say that. To me it makes no sense, why would you keep looking after you found the problem. 🤷♂️🤷♂️
@@SouthMainAuto Part of Murphy's law: "Whatever you check last will be the cause of the problem."
They did the fuses relays and grounds sounds to me like they threw new fuses and relays at it and cleaned the grounds so shady lmfao 😂 Eric O @SouthMainAutoRepairLLC
Probably meant he checked the basics, and admits anything beyond that is not his forte, That's the problem with electrical, it could be the next thing you check, or the twentieth.
He may well have 20 brake jobs lined up which he can do.
When running a business you need to know how to make the most of your time.
i work at a private shop with just me and my dad. Your channel really helps me get through some hard spots in my learning. i just finished my 3rd year as an apprentice in Ontario canada, i really wish i could do more electrical diag but my dad is more a chassis guy. we do get some jobs for elecrical diag but with his limited knowledge an my lack of mentorship im stuck teaching myself, and trying to apply what ive leared at school. basically what im trying to say is this channel has so much valuable information for hands on vehicle diag. Really helps wish i had you as a mentor. thanks
Check out SCANNER DANNER. Good info there. Also PINE HOLLOW DIAGNOSTICS. Self taught is possible. Just keep on learning and you'll make it happen. Don't give up.
Good stuff! A, "thank you" from the Aloha state.
I unfollowed Scotty, he's pretty bigoted.
I have a '99 Toyota Tacoma with a similar issue with a problem that happened suddenly: crank/no start. Gas level fine, cleaned the mass air flow sensor and air filter installed. I'm ready to put in a new fuel filter, first in 20+ years thinking this is the logical thing to do. I have not done: "the fuses... the grounds... and the relays," since I really don't know where to start with the electrical stuff. I have a multimeter but other than looking at the fuses visually and confirming they're OK, (which I did), I'm a real amateur here. Should I replace the fuel filter, which is quite difficult on these Tacoma's, especially without a hoist, or should I struggle with: "the fuses... the grounds... and the relays"? Thank-you!
The engine ignites and turns over for about 2 seconds... not sure what to do, please suggest.
These diagnosis videos just out a smile on my face. You are seriously so good at diagnosing. Do you have any tips on how I can get better at them? I still struggle diagnosing these kind of issues sometimes.
🤞🤞🤞🤞🤞 Eric you get 5 out of 5 crossed fingers for good luck and a great video
Makes me want to drop my car off. "Could you do the grounds?" Like? "Could you do the brakes?"
I think so? 🤔
And while you're there, can you do any fuses that need doing? I usually do do my own fuses, I really do :)
@@SouthMainAuto Time for a new sign outside - we do grounds here
