It’s not just knowledgeability but the talent to explain and teach well, that makes someone [you!] a good teacher!

Me being a backyard mechanic appreciates videos like this thanks

Thank you for your videos bud! I got into a bad accident and a lady destroyed my car , i bought a used Matrix while insurance and Lawyers settle the situation. These videos are a blessing.

I am not savvy when it comes to cars, but I was able to completely follow along and not be overwhelmed or lost! THANK YOOU! 🙌🏼❤️

Can’t thank you enough for the list of items I can methodically go through and check just as you did. You explain it in such a fashion along with brilliant video cut aways, close-ups that allow me to follow you without any confusión. You’re clearly a fantastic communicator on this channel. I’ll continue to follow you as I want to take care of my overpriced car. Cheers dude!

The only video I've watched on KZfaq that really talks about all elements that could cause rough idling. Thank you for your amazing content.

Went to school for automotive been working on car since I was 12 you're very talented in relaying what you're doing in a non car person way Ida learn how to dumb it down great video

Hey man this is great because I had those problems with my car before I watched your videos but now you've opened my eyes and saved me a lot of bucks, I'm now able to do all what you myself. Thanks.

Thank you sooo much for you for sharing your, knowledgeable, methodical, commonsense approach to this issue! Much appreciated is the quality of the video you made and your ability to clearly articulate the material you have presented. You did a fabulous job taking the "rocket" out of science!! Thank you again.

Finallllyyyy someone that got into detail and diagnosed a bunch of problems every other KZfaq video was trash but this one😆🔥🔥

Wow, this guy knows his stuff. That is a good friend to have!

this will definitely help me, currently having issues with my car . so glad I came across this video and channel

This was the most useful video I've seen so far about a car

This is a great work. Thanks for sharing. This video helps people like me who only has 2 choices either walk to everywhere or fixing my broken car. Again thanks.

I've watched so many videos to troubleshoot my rough idle for my brand new jeep compass. Thank you so much for a very detailed and helpful video. My spark plugs were to far apart. Thank you

Thank you for this video. As a girlie girl, I've always wanted to know how engines work for when I have car trouble, I'll know which part they are talking about. I wouldn't mind taking a mechanics class also. This also puts my faith back in mechanics also; now that I now it could be more than one thing, that he's not just money gouging me.

Good video man you've confirmed all my suspicions. I learned about one more cause from you and that's the vacuum leaks and i thank you.

Bro, you're a good Teacher.. 👍🏼

Wow! You are an awesome teacher. Thank you so much for the great information. We were dealing with a crank no start on my 2008 Toyota 4Runner 4.7 v8 sport edition for 6 grewling months. It was so disheartening. I watched so many videos to help my 62 year old hubby. Don't get me wrong he is a great mechanic. But, hes old school used to dealing with a carburator and no obd2 computer. Trust me, i made him absolutly nuts. Been married for 23 years but, having his wife second guess him was not good for his confidence and for that i am sorry. It's just that my father was dying and we are not well off. I made the mistake of buying the car with 232000 miles on it and not making sure things were maintained like he said they were. Getting older his memory was starting to wither. We or he replaced the bathery, checked the fuses and the 3 relays for the fuel pump, chsnged the gas cap. Cleaned the maf sensor, cleaned the trottle body unnecessary changed the crankshaft position sensor and he dropped the tank cleaned out the tank, changed the fuel filter and found out the fuel pump was ok, changed the spark plugs and still nothing. When my father passed away he left me some money, wait i forgot to add the ignition switch assembly with a set of keys to reprogram. Alot of money, alot and hope was gone. Had 2 codes po113 and po102. Check engine light and a couple others. The toyota dealership quoted me a price of 3500 to drop the tank clean it change the fuel pump assembly eventhough it doesnt say that on the service receipt nor at Toyotas main headquarters where it shows your service done. The installed the ignition switch i bought reprogramed the keys and after about 3 days finnally called me. The wierd thing is the diagnostic info had everything as a pass but the tires which i replaced and they said a " vacume leak that was no big deal and that the catalytic converter was rusty and needed to be reported but no big deal. They initially told me they could fix it in a couple days they were waiying for " the sucky thing for the fuel pump. And an o ring it would be available sometime next week. They wouldnt answer my questions when i asked them what parts were they waiting for? I said the fuel swnding uniti and the o ring. She never responded. I know its supposed to be a complete unit replaced. Meanwhile since she never would answer the phone or my text i called toyota. Of course they heard about it and sent me sn kinda nasty email i ignored it. Then on sunday the car was ready. Three days later. Even though they were waiting on parts to arrive in about a week. I cant help but feel scammed. They didnt even take the price of the diagnostic off the price they added it. Told me 1700 to drop the tank and replace the fuel filter was rhat much. To replace the ignition switch went from 1700 but since i had the part from florida at another dealership the took that down to 800. Then 189 for the fuel injectors cleaned and the butterfly thing cleaned. Sorry i forgot the name because i know nothing about cars, i just watched videos over and over. Throttle body. Thats it. Clean the throttle body for 199. All equaling 3600. I couldnt figure out how she did her math. Trust me i asked. Hense my call to Toyota headquarters. I Just wanted my car fixed nowcheck engine light back on with vsc off and squiggly line light. Im thinking cat. My question to you is how do you feel about catclean. I'd rather things and then I read bad things and I know nothing. Sorry it was so long. You seem like an honest gentleman that really calmed me. So much good info. I really live the suv. But, im so afraid they put little bobby traps in there and little by little i will pay again for calling toyota. I hope we dont need a new cat. We are now getting the dreaded po420 code. The car was light free then when my father passed away he drove from Louisiana to florida. Lights came on. I read somewhere that cats need to be warmed up to read properly and the fact they were about 600 miles warmed up that it was that. The cat is the reason for the check engine the vsc off and the sqiggles. I will never go back to that Toyota dealership ever again. I think its a shame because they lost someone that could have been a lifetime customer. It also makes me sad that human being could treat each other with such distain and in this world of technology , lack of morality, lack of the golden rule teachings and the religion of be good in your heart thats all that matters is gone. Texting a customer is apauling and shifty. Have the guts to use your voice before we lose sight of this beautiful world where life is so precious and short. I am 57 my dad was only 82. But , i still felt 12 around him. He knew how to do everything. I will forever be changed by his loss. People like you are one in a million. The way you teach is inspiring. Thank you.

Appreciate the knowledge fam. Had a rough idle in my SRT 392. Put half a can of sea foam and filled the tank now it’s running smooth again.

Great video! Such awesome advice and seafoam has been keeping my cars running great for decades now.

Your videos are very helpful! I am not a mechanic but your videos are very educating. Thank you

My RP m's got very low while idling Took everything apart and cleaned throttle out little cleaning fixed it. Saved lots of $

He is good, really appreciate his talent. Enough guidelines for those who really want to improve themselves. ❤

Thats a Toyota Corolla Bro. I like how you do teach, keep it going. Gtg see some car at the garage. Keep it safe, and God Bless.

Found this video precise adn to the point. Nothing like those who waffle along and take detours to get to the main points. Thanks and earned a new sub. Great work

Wow I'm so impressed the way how you explain things. Great job Teacher... Congrat.

Try changing Cabin Filter if you have rough idle issues when turning On AC. I have a 230K mileage lexus is250 that has a P0113 misfire and rough idles on R/D/AC On. Saw a video and manually cleaned carbon buildup on valves > cleaned fuel injector > cleaned spark plugs, throttle body and replaced engine and cabin filter. Now my car runs like Brand New! Thanks!

Thank you for breaking everything down. Great video!

Great guide! Very clear and well put together video. Subscribed.

Thank you Scotty! I'm able to follow along and diagnose my Mercedes E 500 and do my own repairs ....saving me a fortune! I appreciate you and all your videos.

Thank you so much! I found that the pipe leading from the airbox to the engine was torn... I could't understand why the car sounded so good suddenly, but was jerkey at idle and acceleration. Thank you!

Great video. I seen a guy clean his IAC with it still mounted. He removed the tube where it vents into the crankcase. While plugging the hole where the tube was attached with his finger he sprayed carb cleaner down through the throttle body into the IAC until it started to break up the carbon buildup. You can also tear the whole throttle body off and remove the IAC but, if you don't have to why? Thanks again.

Thanks from Kenya,I love to deal with technical issues b4 I call in for help...wow this was a lesson on fuel and air systems maintenance..God bless you

❤thanks a lot .. so I can really understand what the scanner said about my sensors and rough idili..thank you a lot ..I left my Captiva sport 2012 to be fix tune up and change Battery.im a 64 year old female and too hard for me do it and don't know, but love the way you explain in details..God keep you bless

Just started having this issue. I’m leaning towards the fuel system, but it’s great to know the other areas that maybe the culprit. Thanks for the insight!

Good stuff💯 Id trust him more than a certified mechanic😂😂

You're such a naturally good speaker and knowing your stuff makes for a very impressive video.

I have a toyota rav4 2001 model and it started to give me this problem . Thanks for this will let my husband check everything 😅

These are some great tips

Very structured well explainned video, thanks !

Thank you for this great video. It was really helpful. My wife Infinity was shaking violently and kept stalling. It turned out the connector to the air system was loose. Thank you! You saved us thousands of dollars in repair.

Great explanation for the beginners, good job

Your explaination was so simple but understandable...nice works bro👍👍👍

Definitely subscribing to keep up with your videos. Saving $ doing routine maintenance on 3 vehicles myself and by far you have the most helpful and educational video out there. Thanks 👍 looking forward to seeing the rest!

so much information in one video thank you man

My car was shaking so change motor and still shaking no problem bc had warranty on that probably my motor mounts thank you for this vid 🔥

Excellent presentation and subject matter knowledge.

This is a great video, straight to the point explanation of possible causes. Browsing your other videos now.

Wow. This guy is WAY better than the other car guys in KZfaq. Where the heck have you been? You have a new Subscriber sir!

Thanks man your presentation is so good. I believe you.

One of the most informative videos I've come across.

Big time help, thanks! Hope you keep doing these videos!

My 2006 vibe had a terribly dirty air intake I took it all apart cleaned everything and new gaskets and starter when I get my stuff in the mail😁

The best machenical advise by far ...🙌

Nice work! I learn't alot by watching this video👍🏾

Great explanation, and really great tips, thanks for sharing.. thanks

Wow! Your intelligence helped me to be smarter and self-sufficient...🙋‍♀️....As a female, I feel good when I'm learning to do it myself and don't have to ask anyone to help me....I'm educating myself to help others.......very helpful video...thank you sooo much.

God bless everyone that makes these videos. I always think the worst but now know if it's the worst and what to look for and expect.

I love all this information. It helps me to understand what needs to be done less money.

Thank you. I know nothing about cars but you made this easy.

Trying to teach my son some basic engine/car stuff and this helped me help him. Thank you for taking the time to teach us.

Thank you! I'm very afraid of trying to do any of this myself but i have a used car that just started doing this. Although it's very weak at this point I don't have any money for another car or for having to pay for an expensive repair so I'm desperate enough to try and diagnose the issue on my own. I really hope I can figure it out.

Man i usually write if im going to talk bad.so let me tell you ، ،you made change today. Great job.well done.clear ,simply covered.great class ,thank you.fealry you have ability for exploration and guiding. Would like to say some thing bad,but i couldnt spot any.so i hate me

😃 I started working on my own car recently and I enjoy doing it. This is a very informative video, thank you for sharing!

thanks Josh, this is the video i've been searching for years, as i was researching i probably found many of the causes separetly but never a good well rounded explanation with examples like yours. about the electronic throtle body, never knew you cant move it fortunately mine didnt breake when i held it open with my fingers and cleaned with wet wipes, it cleaned out nicely and the issue is gone, the idle is much better now as befor it used to go up and down a lot with the hot engine never after a cold start with the check engine ligth and the code for barometric pressure in the intake manifold. still got a little bit of vibration/shakiness gonna have to check some things from your list if not it might be from the torque converter as i understand it can also cause vibration and shaking i have a 3.2 fsi a6 c6 thanks again for a greate video!

I agree, you are amazing! Loved your video explaining issues with older vehicles. I have a 2004 Hyundai Sonata and I am having the worst trouble with it overheating. Thanks so much!! AWESOME AWESOME AWESOME!! 😁😘

Nice information bro.i love it.keep up the good teaching.

Yo this vid is super necessary. Thanks bro

From Tanzania,, thanks for the knowledge you have shared.. it has saved my money.

Thanks for this informative input, one of the best videos on KZfaq.

Great video🎉

I’m new and I’ve been wondering these things you taught me something in one video subbed

Excellent clear, logical tutorial - you would be a great technical college tutor. 👍 Good to see lots of other female car lovers subscribed with you. And kind, helpful suggestions from all viewers. Will share with my pals and look up your other videos.

Wonderful Video bro. Even a child can understand. Thanks.

Very informative.Thanks for sharing!

We really appreciate your time and expertise, I was told it might be the compressor, when I took my car to an auto store to have the battery and alternator checked for my 2016 Nissan Versa, when I explained that the car shakes when the ac is on and the car is idle,

this video really helps thanks for the information

Thank you brother. This is helpful.

very helpful continue the good work

Thanks, this was really helpful in giving me a good starting list to go through as I try to get my recently purchased car on the road 🙂

VERY thorough as a guide of what and how likely things are to make for a rough running engine

Good work guy had this very problem not to long ago

excellent breakdown of potential issues, thank you sir.

I love that you're tapping the crap out of stuff with the screwdriver. 😂😂😂

Very clear and informative, great video, thank you !

Thanks for sharing your knowledge

I just had my exhaust on a 2005 Mercury Grand Marquis worked on, by a custom exhaust specialist. The reason I took the car in is because the hangar broke and pipe began rubbing against the inside of the car. I also knew I had an exhaust leak most likely in the manifold. But there was no check engine light on and car started up beautifully, drove beautifully despite the ticking noise when accelerating. The mechanic also fixed the suspension, unrelated but definitely needed. I didn't replace the exhaust manifold because it is too big of a job and the mechanic was able to weld the tube as best he could, leaving only a very small leak. No more fumes, or ticking but now the car is vibrating during idle and check engine light on. I took it back it was for emissions and he said everything else seemed good, no misfires. But now the car is having trouble starting at times. I'm just gonna take it somewhere else which I would have done, but I heard these guys were cheaper because they can weld. It could be unrelated, but it seems too coincidental to me

Informative and to the point. Wish my mustang plugs were as accessable as yours because that's what I suspect is contributing to my shaking while in gear with acceleration lacking in power. Wouldn't the plug wires also be suspect?

7:30 Wow, first time I saw this liquid gasket on the air cleaner filter LOL

Your on point. My filter hose is fd up like what you mentioned. Same with the motor mounts. The sparkplugs needs changing as well. Whew. 2003 Honda Accord, we will make it through 2021, I trust you.

This was a great video. Thank you so much

Wow I’m very impressed this video will help me and others to do step by step procedure thank you so much for sharing

Thank you sir. God bless. 🙏🏻

It's easy to see cracked or broken motor mounts, but sometimes they're saggy or hard as rock so also check for that. Sometimes people will just do a visual without checking for anything else. You can poke them with a screwdriver to check for stiffness or even too soft.

Got it. Straight to the mechanic.
