​@@mrarmy8744 Y'all really don't know what you're talking about and don't know shit about cars, do you? It's pretty freaking simple. Because a mechanic has to provide a warranty. And just by looking under that valve cover, this thing is NOT going to run for a long time, or even run great. It did not have the required oil changes for a long time. That engine needs proper maintenance, what you've seen under the valve cover is a BIG SYMPTOM of a MUCH bigger issue. Imagine how the crankshaft bearings are if the cam and rockers are looking like that. That engine needs a rebuild and thorough clean, at the very least. I expect the bearings won't be looking too good either. He got the engine to run, but he didn't completely fix all of its problems.

For real. The LITERALLY first time I went to a mechanic because I hat misfires, he told me it was most likely the distributor and or sparkplugs. He told me it was difficult to do and all in all would cost me about 300 bucks. We made out an appointment and the very same day I made my research to find out that the parts if I bought them myself would cost me 70 tops. Not to mention how easy it actually was to replace. Sufficed to say I didn't show up to that appointment

Appeared to be a loose timing belt tensioner. He shows tightening belt tension and then the nut to hold tensioner is tightened securely. Good thing it was a non-interference engine otherwise would be valve or valve and piston damage. Makes timing belt checks/changes very important on these types of engines.

He sold it to a friend of his for 300 dollars because he was sure he was selling a dead car. Next week he saw his friend driving the car and found out a $7 part at the local auto store is all it took. . . . My dad still talks about it today. 😞

I don t agree. I am a professional. His video is just perfect. Some really good explanations. The mechanic of your neigbour didn t know what he was doing. Why changing the distributor and the computer? I can understand for the coil maybe he found the spark weak. If it wasn't the timing belt. It could probably be the timing of the spark. Cause of the pmh sensor or the target. I had the target a couple of time. Some strange things on it. À really good job Chris 👍

I towed my Miata to a spec Miata shop when it broke down, to do a timing belt job. They did it wrong, broke my camshaft, and replaced the camshaft wrong too (caps were out of order). They sent the car back to me after 3 months not running, and charged me an arm and a leg for their work. If anybody knows Miatas, it's them, right? Nope, they failed. I took it apart myself and had it running in 2 days. The new cam was unfortunately beyond saving (it was scored to the point that is was binding to the caps even in the right order) and it broke in half on the highway, taking the head with it. I sold the car with a blown motor. What did I learn from that? It's best to work on your own car, Chrisfix style! I don't trust anybody with my cars anymore, so I do everything myself so I know exactly how every nut and bolt on my car was treated.

Probably just buy a tin of Engine flush and put it in the engine and do an oil change and the engine flush will get all the gunk out with the oil

Take it to a mechanic, doesn't get fixed, nobody knows what's wrong. Bring it to ChrisFix, within an hour it's running. Wow, you never fail to impress me dude way to go!

That is one bad mechanic he didn't even check the car before adding parts.

Agreed, I was thinking that the mechanic that had worked on it wasn't very good as soon as the video started. There are a lot of mechanics that are just parts changers, they don't actually diagnose the issue, they just replace parts hoping they replace the right one. I will say that timing can be an easy one to gloss over, because most engines aren't non-interference and the engine grenades if the timing slips. Luckily for this Honda that engine seems to be a non-interference engine and was able to be saved!

I had a misfire code. My mechanic did not check or diagnose spark plug or coil. He replaced parts only. :(

Epic! I did these exact steps on my new E30 Touring last month. It had been sat for 6 years. It was a bad ECU in my case, making only three injectors work. Tested LITERALLY everything before swamping out the ECU. This video is so helpful to someone who doesn't know. Cheers Chris!

This was the video that really solidified my interest in cars. ChrisFix is a gift from heaven. Edit: so I already liked cars before this, but I saw this video a week after it came out, and then I knew, I _really_ liked cars. I've loved them ever since.
