In this video I have a look at a 1995 Geo Prism that was dropped off with a customer complaint of no cruise control. Service data lead us right to the problem and it was a no parts required fix for this fella. Ivan would be proud!

I had Corolla 94 1,3i manual and it had 64 kW=88 HP, Ok no "torks". This 1,8 manual, if it's not detuned for US, should be quicker than Golf 3 Gti and serious sleeper which embarrases Honda boys at lights:)

@@2zer084 Given my 1,3 was 64Kw, I thought 1,8 could have been close to 100kW not HP. As euro 1,6 was already 84 kw=110HP. But US 1,8 was probably detuned for low end torque, and nicer drivability, not max torque at 4000 rpm. And I was talking about manuals, not slushboxes.

The fact this car is still going in upstate ny is blowing my mind. Looks great too. I guess the fact that this person is paying to fix the cruise means they really care about this thing and that’s why it’s still going. Crazy to me.

It had 200k on the odometer when I got it, and I sold it with 413k, still in great running condition. I see the guy around town once in awhile, thing is still kicking.

It was years before I tried another one, now would be without it. Good fix Eric.

Once again, Eric shows why you approach diagnosing a failure systematically. I have a 2000 Porsche Boxster that the cruise control went out. Thought it was going to be a new module (for several hundred dollars) but as I worked through the failure, it turned out it was the cruise control indicator light bulb in the dash burned out which disables the entire system. Bulb was less than $1 (which I happened to have on hand anyway). Again, work and diagnose the failure. Don't guess. Thanks again Mr. O.

When I learned to drive manual transmissions were "standard" and you paid a line-item price for the upgrade to an automatic. My family owned three cars, Mom's, Dad's, and a beater for the two (then three) driving kids. All three were manual transmissions. Our house was on a street with three ways out of the neighborhood: all three ended at Stop Signs at the top of short, steep, upgrades. That was just the lay of the land. It was Michigan, deep in the snow belt. I, and my siblings, learned to operate a clutch with incredible precision and accuracy. We had no choice. Starting on a showy up slope is not a problem for me. I could steel this car in a flash.

Good find! I probably would have replaced the switch anyway for good measure, honestly. I wouldn't want to risk the chance that the switch is indeed failing with an intermittant fault.

Thank you this brings back memories of high school. Now I gotta find a rust free one for my kids. They were reliable cars!

Easy on the test drive. Might roast the tires off it with all those preformance upgrades.

The gas regulator diaphragm expands and contracts with ambient temperature change and release a small amount of natural gas. Hence the odor

My morning wasn’t going so well; just blew a couple holes in an almost paper thin meticulously coped tube, attempting to weld it to a heavy $30+ stainless nut. So I decided to take a break and was pleasantly surprised by another of your excellent diagnostic videos. I think my day has just gotten better. Thank you.

@@briandeschene8424 Thank you, you are correct, this is something that will require courage and perseverance. The two pieces separately want about a 50 amp spread to make a puddle. I think I’ll be spending most of my time on that nut hoping a little bit of the puddle will spill over onto the tube.
