Scotty Kilmer I have a 97 Accord that got rained on and drowned a little. I changed the crank position sensor then it worked. However, now when I drive the car, it doesn't go past 3k rpm and at 75 mph it feels like the engine is kicking me back. I changed the spark plugs, oil and oil filter, air filter and did a complete tune up. The check engine light turned on as well showing me the p01361
Scotty Kilmer. Hey scotty i have a 02 Hyundai xg350 and it runs but after i drive a few miles and turn her off she wont start wont catch . HELP me please kelly
Scotty Kilmer hey scotty I was in traffic so I was accelerating and stopping as usual with traffic. My car after a while starting hesitating and then the engine seemed to turn off. Turned the vehicle back on and it would do the same thing. Then started accelerating sporadically when I hit the gas pedal. Temp gauges fine. Check engine light started flashing. I eventually let it cool and drove it for another hour and 15 with practically no problems. Any idea of what this could be?
Im 41 years old now.ive been watching this guy all of my life.i grew up without a father so everything i know about cars i learned from scotty kilmer.cant believe hes still out there yes!!
You have helped my husband and I tremendously. Although, we're in bad shape at the moment. I'm confident your videos will lead us to the answers. They have before. Thank you Scotty Kilmer!
Last year I started having this issue. And my car completely quit starting. Mechanic kept the car for 2 weeks. He Changed literally every sensor. He literally said he couldn't figure out the issue. Car still wouldn't crank. He fixed the oil leak I had at least....430$ invested... But we got it towed to my dad's body shop. He checked my plugs. I literally just needed new plugs. Like 32$ And 30 minutes, it was fixed. Needless to say we haven't sent anything to that mechanic again.
@Jonathan A Yeah. I was knew to driving and didn't really understand the signs. So I didn't know. But after got it back, my dad said he started thinking the signs seemed like the plugs. Sure enough, cylinder 1 and 4 plugs were done for. Simply got new plugs and wires for all 4 cylinders. Done lol
@Jonathan Actually the mechanic used his head enough to rake in $430 and I bet the supposed "replaced sensors" are the same ones that were on it. Probably just cleaned them. An honest mechanic wouldn't have replaced sensors because its obvious it was an ignition issue; fuel, air, spark.
Scotty, been watching you for a while now and want to say thanks for the confidence! You make working on these things seem super simple. Had this exact issue with no codes from the computer. Replaced the plugs and coils and it is running perfect now. :) Just to let you know, I was thinking it was a transmission issue before this video, but that wasn't the case!
Which coils did you use and how much did they run you I have something similar but I wanted to see if I could just replace spark plugs bc coils are like 230 plus 40 for plugs
I know I'm upset. I had shudder problems for nearly 5 years and only used my SUV for short distances. Turns out, one spark plug was bad. 165k miles on a 1998 Toyota landcruiser 4.7L V8. I went ahead and replaced the crankshaft sensor, all 8 spark plugs, all 8 ignition coils, fuel pump, and all 8 fuel injectors. I should replace the fuel filter as well but my SUV runs great now.
Thanks scotty. Just got car back from shop and was worried about fuel pump and other pain in the rear jobs. Checked plugs and one was actually barely on. Easiest fix of the day.
I started watching your videos in 2020 and this year, I finally bought my first car; a Pontiac g3 2010. I am going to be doing some work on it this Monday (brake changes, spark plugs and rust cleaning) Your videos have given me some confidence to tackle it but I will also have my dad for help🤣🤣
Truly awesome videos scotty. Love your knowledge and personality. I changed my valve cover gasket kit with a little help from you today. Still need to change plugs and wires and possibly even o2 sensors and catalytic converters. Buying a code reader to see if it's throwing codes. But you're videos are very helpful to the diy guys out here
Love your youtube. I come here for any questions I have about my car. Recently my car was stuttering, engine light on so I had my mechanic tow it. It said it was the spark plugs had worn out and he replaced them. The car was good to go. When I picked it up it wouldn't start, when it did it was stuttering. Down the road the engine light came back on. Now he says its the coil pack that he replaced in the car three years ago. I only drive the car to work so since the replacement I have only added 20,000 miles. I'm here again to see what the deal is and I did get charged $45 for the computer check...the first time. Keep up the videos!
My car was hesitating during acceleration. First they thought it was a vacuum leak so the "fixed" that but it was still hesitating. Dropped it off at the mechanic again today. It was a bad coil. Running great now!
Another great video. The tip for making sure the engine is cold is something I hadn't thought of. Just as well I watched your video before touching the plugs! Thanks for making all these great video. You're tutorials are very easy to follow, too.
I've replaced the coil pack twice in 12 months. It has four coils in a row mounted on one unit, and this sits directly on top of the spark plugs in the engine block. The spark plugs were changed about 9000 miles ago, along with the fuel filter and other usual filters. The full exhaust system was fitted in September 2013. Engine temps are fine but naturally fuel consumption is terrible at the moment. Diagnostics were carried out earlier this year when the second coil pack was fitted, and no errors were present. There is no dash warning light on at the moment either. The first was a cheap brand (HAAS) and lasted only two weeks. The second was a recommended top brand (BERU) and that lasted about 500 miles. My car was driving to absolute perfection up until December 2014, but since Jan 2015 it has been hell to drive and at times extremely dangerous indeed.
just becaue he made it look simple on video, doesn't mean it is simple. That coil was covered in coolant. That car will probably come back with a blown head gasket. It is a 5.4l piece of shit engine.
Thank you!! I thought so. A short & spark plugs need to be replaced. Haven’t checked but the maintenance guys in my apartment complex laugh at me when I’m working on my 95 Buick park ave. I’m gonna find a place somewhere else to work on it. Where comfortable & put ALL my tools in my truck. Can you believe they laughed & said, “oh, ok” you need to reboot the car’s computer - it worked & even beeped when ALL power drained needed a jump & took 10 mins just to repower. & IT WORKED no problems since!!!
remember, change dark plugs on a cold engine. always. i tried out on a warm one and spark plug snapped and was nightmare to get it out. always do it on a cold engine
He cracks me up. His facial expressions are too cute. My husband is hooked on his videos and they're my go-to now when I sense a problem with my car, lol.
Thank you Scotty, you helped helped me out with this exact hesitation problem on my honda fit. Changed the spark plugs and the problem is gone. Cheers!
I absolutely love this guys videos. Even if there isn’t anything wrong with my Jeep, I still watch his videos. He’s easy to understand and follow. And he makes the videos funny
Scotty ur awesome brother.. just wanna say ii stumbled on the channel and from one content creator to another I just wanna say I love the energy .. Your awesome man rock on scotty!!
My car did the same thing but it was the camshaft position sensor. So I went ahead and replaced that but I also went ahead and replaced the spark plugs and the spark plug wires and everything else while I was at it and now it's running like a new car 21 year old car running like a new car. Your videos definitely help me save money. Cuz I know mechanic and I don't know anything until about cars or how to fix them so thank you very much but helping me.
Thanks for letting me know the diagnostic system may not catch a problem a simple tuneup will fix. I used to change plugs out all the time when it was a Plymouth Horizon or Chrysler LeBaron. It was easy and cheap, just four plugs, all lined up under the front of the hood.
I was getting a P0302 error (cylinder 2 misfire) and my car was riding rough and sluggish. I changed all my spark plugs and the error was still there. I swapped the #2 ignition coil and #3 ignition coil and the error changed from P0302 to P0303. So happy to see it switch and easily fix the issue quickly and cheap..... I originally thought it was a faulty or clogged fuel injector as I put a stethoscope on the fuel injector and it sounded inconsistent but the bad sound was due to the bad ignition coil.
My Lincoln Aviator was shaking badly and had very little power. So I put in new spark plugs and that didn't fix it. My dad then gave it to his friend and said it was the coils four of them went out! My v8 was only running on four cylinders lol. It's gone now but once we fixed it it drove amazing.
This guy is great. Now I need to save for enough to replace spark plugs, coils, intake gaskets, and valve cover gaskets because it’s all in the way on my car and needs to be done also.
Scotty I would like to say thank you for what you do you have helped me numerous times with your videos. I hope you tube makes you highly profitable one day
Thank you I was seriously debating taking my car to the shop but I’m convinced with my dads help I can do this ahhhhhh THANK YOU !!!! - from a typical girl that doesn’t know anything about cars
I called today to ask how much Ford wanted to change spark plugs. He said $512.74. I said $500!!!!!!! To do SPARK PLUGS? I said you are full of it. This isn't a 5 hr job. I then asked what's his hourly rate. He refused to tell me saying "I appears you don't want to pay for my salary, the lights, the mechanics schooling, the janitor, and everything else that goes into running a dealership" and he hung up on me.
@@DomPom719 and? If you don't have the knowledge or experience or confidence to do this, then you should pay someone else, who has. They didn't get that knowledge, confidence, experience for free. Thats what you're paying for. Otherwise, just do it yourself. If the labour was worthless, you wouldn't even be watching this video because you'd have fixed it already.
@@big-smoke-rcthat’s not true i’ve done spark plugs and coils several times on my car lol… one of the most common things as regular maintenance driving a bimmer… some of us just enjoy the old school nostalgic scotty. if that was the mentality you had you’ve just indirectly called yourself incompetent
Scotty is right about the simplest answer usually being the right answer. For those of you who like tediously long answers, here is another way to say it: Occam's razor - a scientific and philosophic rule that entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily which is interpreted as requiring that the simplest of competing theories be preferred to the more complex or that explanations of unknown phenomena be sought first in terms of known quantities.
The same thing happened to me when I bought a used car and it started hesitating. Two of the four spark plugs were loose. I went ahead and replaced all four as well as one of the coils, and now it runs like brand new.
@@Vids703 coil plugs only last 100,000 kms if there aftermarket sometimes depend the brand, if it's standard coils (factory) will only last 60,000-80,000 kms Best to replace all coils and plugs if you just replace one coil expect the other coils to fail before the one you replaced that's why people normally do all coils and plugs at the same time!
@@kaneclark7171 I’ve seen so many people just replace spark plugs and not the coils and it runs perfect they only change the coils if they see thier is a misfire
@@Vids703 so if you see a heap of people jumping off a bridge you think it's normal and do the same thing? No you use your brains and do the right thing 🤣 being cheap isn't a good thing
You are awesome! Your videos have helped me so much and truly you are appreciated. From not knowing a damn thing about my car, I feel more confident anf ask the mechanic questions! Thanks so much keep up the amazing work!
Torque wrench is your best friend when dealing with over engineered contraptions. No guessing if it's tightened properly. Sometimes it's worth spending a little to save a lot.
Hey Scotty I really like your vids! I got a '12 Q5 with 117000 Km on it. The previous owners didnt do much maintenance on it besides changing the oil and filter. So i decided to go ahead and change out the sparks, all the filters, changed out the oil, timing belt. Just the basic stuff that probably are worn out. Now, when I drove on the highway I notice there was some minor hesitation and jerking when I accelerated 60 km/hr up. What do you think is the problem?
Would you mind making a video on the differences between a distributor cap & rotor, vs coil on plug, vs ignition module? I've done a full tune up and replaced a distributor cap and rotor on my truck, but I'm struggling with figuring out how to do such a tune up on a 2004 Saturn Ion with a ignition module, and I'm betting my 2017 Hyundai Elantra has those Coil on Plugs. Best wishes from a long time fan of your videos. You really help us all learn, grow, and save money one video at a time.
Hey scotty ive been watching your videos for a while now and i just want to say thanks brother. You rock. I love how you explain what and why and how to fix things. Helped me so much and saved me alot of money ontop of giving me confidence to work on my own car. Much love brother. Please keep the videos coming
I have a 2010 F150 with the 5.4. I’ve had the stuttering issue for a while now. Could never really pin it down. I decided to buy plugs, haven’t installed them yet but this video helps give me hope my first potential fix is gonna work
Just had this problem on my Escape V6, the workshop fixed it by changing 2 faulty ignition coils and all the 6 spark plugs, on top of that they also cleaned the MAF sensor and flushed out the air intake system. Now the car runs very well.
We need mechanics like you Scotty. I bet if I would had taken it to any other mechanic that is not you, he would've told me that I need a new engine!!!!!
My car idles just like this video. I changed the transmission filter and fluid, the air filter, the oil, and cleaned the throttle body. Still has a little hesitations so im guessing its the coils and spark plugs.
thank you so much I knew that's what was wrong with my car but I am not all that good at diagnostics. thank you so much I really wanted to make sure it was not a nothing to serious.
I have chevy beat 2010 that hesitates while accelerating on low rpms.. however it goes off at highspeeds... Can this be ignition coil problem or any other problem? Please suggest shud i change the ignition coil or not...

I asked my German Sheppard, he turned his head every time I said spark plug.
hahaha i would imagine so lol
i asked her politely and she changed the spark plugs .

Thank you I was seriously debating taking my car to the shop but I’m convinced with my dads help I can do this ahhhhhh THANK YOU !!!! - from a typical girl that doesn’t know anything about cars
you r a good man doing the videos to help ppl ty for everything you had did for us
You're the best. I haven't needed a mechanic for a very long time because of you
I called today to ask how much Ford wanted to change spark plugs. He said $512.74. I said $500!!!!!!! To do SPARK PLUGS? I said you are full of it. This isn't a 5 hr job. I then asked what's his hourly rate. He refused to tell me saying "I appears you don't want to pay for my salary, the lights, the mechanics schooling, the janitor, and everything else that goes into running a dealership" and he hung up on me.
He's right tho. Do it yourself or pay someone to do it. You're paying for a service and that service costs.
@@big-smoke-rca year old comment would be 700 now 💀
@@DomPom719 and? If you don't have the knowledge or experience or confidence to do this, then you should pay someone else, who has.
They didn't get that knowledge, confidence, experience for free. Thats what you're paying for. Otherwise, just do it yourself.
If the labour was worthless, you wouldn't even be watching this video because you'd have fixed it already.
@@big-smoke-rc I’ll do it myself ms.soft hands
@@big-smoke-rcthat’s not true i’ve done spark plugs and coils several times on my car lol… one of the most common things as regular maintenance driving a bimmer… some of us just enjoy the old school nostalgic scotty. if that was the mentality you had you’ve just indirectly called yourself incompetent
Had this happen to my truck a day or so ago.
Problem fixed awesome to see quick videos on stuff like this
cat stop cleaning yourself, I NEED ANSWERS!
Andrew Mausisa lol
Scotty is right about the simplest answer usually being the right answer. For those of you who like tediously long answers, here is another way to say it: Occam's razor - a scientific and philosophic rule that entities should not be multiplied unnecessarily which is interpreted as requiring that the simplest of competing theories be preferred to the more complex or that explanations of unknown phenomena be sought first in terms of known quantities.
I have learned so much from you someday I am going to be mechanic like you
Scotty is the OG TH-cam Master Mechanic!!
The same thing happened to me when I bought a used car and it started hesitating. Two of the four spark plugs were loose. I went ahead and replaced all four as well as one of the coils, and now it runs like brand new.
Why did you replace the coils bc I wanna do my spark plugs and not coils but I’m not sure is that okay ?
@@Vids703 coil plugs only last 100,000 kms if there aftermarket sometimes depend the brand, if it's standard coils (factory) will only last 60,000-80,000 kms
Best to replace all coils and plugs if you just replace one coil expect the other coils to fail before the one you replaced that's why people normally do all coils and plugs at the same time!
@@kaneclark7171 I’ve seen so many people just replace spark plugs and not the coils and it runs perfect they only change the coils if they see thier is a misfire
@@Vids703 so if you see a heap of people jumping off a bridge you think it's normal and do the same thing? No you use your brains and do the right thing 🤣 being cheap isn't a good thing
@@kaneclark7171 no I just asking because on 3 cars my dad has owned have made it 300k with original coils just replaced spark plugs
Scotty all mechanics use your videos for reference . Im one of them , thank you sir alot for what you helped me with
You are awesome! Your videos have helped me so much and truly you are appreciated. From not knowing a damn thing about my car, I feel more confident anf ask the mechanic questions! Thanks so much keep up the amazing work!
Thanks Scotty! Spark plugs had a lot of carbon buildup, rough idle but no codes thrown. I originally thought no codes no problem. 👍
You cracked me up with the cat , I wish you were in my town man , thanks for this vids 👍🏻

Torque wrench is your best friend when dealing with over engineered contraptions. No guessing if it's tightened properly. Sometimes it's worth spending a little to save a lot.
I wish I lived in Houston so Scotty Kilmer could work on my cars
Scott got every tool in the world I swear
Hey Scotty I really like your vids! I got a '12 Q5 with 117000 Km on it. The previous owners didnt do much maintenance on it besides changing the oil and filter. So i decided to go ahead and change out the sparks, all the filters, changed out the oil, timing belt. Just the basic stuff that probably are worn out. Now, when I drove on the highway I notice there was some minor hesitation and jerking when I accelerated 60 km/hr up. What do you think is the problem?
Would you mind making a video on the differences between a distributor cap & rotor, vs coil on plug, vs ignition module? I've done a full tune up and replaced a distributor cap and rotor on my truck, but I'm struggling with figuring out how to do such a tune up on a 2004 Saturn Ion with a ignition module, and I'm betting my 2017 Hyundai Elantra has those Coil on Plugs.
Best wishes from a long time fan of your videos. You really help us all learn, grow, and save money one video at a time.
Thanks Scotty for your great help. You explained what you needed for the job and the equipment. Your valuable for everyone to learn.
Hey scotty ive been watching your videos for a while now and i just want to say thanks brother. You rock. I love how you explain what and why and how to fix things. Helped me so much and saved me alot of money ontop of giving me confidence to work on my own car. Much love brother. Please keep the videos coming
Great Vid Scotty. Did you end up having to replace the coolant line as well?
of course
Why change the coolant line with spark plug change ?
@@erikalewis7760 2:46 coolant was leaking on coil on plug 👍🏻
Ooh ok, thk u much
best car channel on youtube! you have saved me thousands
Can be the throttle position sensor or a fuel delivery system issue
I have a 2010 F150 with the 5.4. I’ve had the stuttering issue for a while now. Could never really pin it down. I decided to buy plugs, haven’t installed them yet but this video helps give me hope my first potential fix is gonna work
I love that outro 😊
I was more excited to see videos like this than the new 5 minute Q&A ones.
I love when he pop up with the cat out of no where xD makes it fun
Just had this problem on my Escape V6, the workshop fixed it by changing 2 faulty ignition coils and all the 6 spark plugs, on top of that they also cleaned the MAF sensor and flushed out the air intake system. Now the car runs very well.
My cat suggested taking the 4 wheels off, then put them on a car that you know runs ok, job done. :D
Love this intro! How Sir Scotty tucks his lip with a smile. Perfect & endearing. 💖
“You could ask the cat” got me laughing. Great video
We need mechanics like you Scotty. I bet if I would had taken it to any other mechanic that is not you, he would've told me that I need a new engine!!!!!
I wish my cars were like cats and gave themselves baths
i wish my grass was emo so that it would cut itself
Lol
Boo Sir you're joke was horrible! Both of you
Great mechanic with honest diagnostics and not out to grab people's cash 👍
Don't know about you but when I find my lady hesitating I usually just give her alcohol.
lol
Leo Wells
But what if she doesn't drink?
You made my day! hehe
Leo Wells next time try to install your spark plugs
She is probably dissatisfied with your tiny crankshaft.
Scotty has the best intros lol 🤣🔥
My car idles just like this video. I changed the transmission filter and fluid, the air filter, the oil, and cleaned the throttle body. Still has a little hesitations so im guessing its the coils and spark plugs.
Little Ricky Two months later, changed the spark plugs or the coils yet? Did it help?
Anthony Hernandez yeah did it lol
thank you so much I knew that's what was wrong with my car but I am not all that good at diagnostics. thank you so much I really wanted to make sure it was not a nothing to serious.
I have chevy beat 2010 that hesitates while accelerating on low rpms.. however it goes off at highspeeds... Can this be ignition coil problem or any other problem? Please suggest shud i change the ignition coil or not...
Teisha MISUNDERSTOOD are you a female
Thanks for the vid mate. Btw, it’s always a good idea to use a torque wrench when tightening.
Changed plugs and coil still does the same hesitation. Could it be a bad fuel injector
Could be a fuel pump leak
Mine too, except I haven't changed all the coils
Changed 15 spark plugs this weekend, man am I glad they were all inline engines
Tip of the day :
Ask your cat for any car problem.
LYx461 you see it in his complexion he uses kitty nip
Your video helped me determine my toyota sienna has bad oil control valves aka VVT. I did keep thinking it was plugs and coil packs.
I like his character
My 2015 honda civic ex doing the same thing and it just reach at 100k miles never had a tune up on it Thankz for this video now ik what my car needs
The ending is hilarious
