Just re-entered Toyota world after 30 years. Bought wife a 2021 RAV4 . Your content and knowledge is second to none!!

This guy never ceases to amaze me. A must watch for Toyota owners or any car owner for that matter. More than halfway to 100K subscribers, let’s get it!!!!!!

The robustness of those port injectors are impressive. I recently replace all of the o rings and grommets on mine and other than dirt they looked like new. They're 22 years old and kept the valves shiny.

I always get excited when a new Car Care Nut vid shows in my notifications

I did not know about the number on the Direct Injector. Never having worked on that system, I learned something new. Thank you for the video.

The most professional mechanic i ever seen. Keep up the good work 💪

I always feel more educated and informed after watching your amazing videos. Hats off to your great work. Keep it up!!!

Even without a Toyota in the garage, learning a lot from these videos. Superb instruction highlighting potential DIY pitfalls (some very serious) and tips on spotting possible problems.

This Toyota class is educational and informative and professional . Thanks AMD for doing this i think ppl should know all this.

Toyota should donate you a million dollars for the value of your videos explaining the mechanical design of their own engines in a understandable way.

Your videos and content have been steadily improving over the last few months. Good work! Keep it up!

AMD, you’re a savior. You are doing so much for the community. Please try to make more live videos. Thanks.

I love how elements are ground side switch and pulse width modulated. Kirchoff's law states, how ever much the source voltage, it has to drop all of it at the component/element. Very cool stuff! And then you have your power side switch where you have full voltage at the component that is being commanded... Thanks for sharing your knowledge.

I clicked this video as fast as I could. This guy is so cool.

Hyundai CRDi engines use both port and direct injection. Mine is 1.6L CRDi Turbo at 110,000 miles and the lightest of grey soot on inlet valves and intake cover. Best of both worlds. My car "self" cleans the inlet side at low, medium running and converts to 100% GDI at WOT and high acceleration.

I always learn something new when watching your show on KZfaq.

Thank you AMD for your videos! I love how you break down mechanical concepts thoroughly. Learning a ton!

Thank you for your information. Your vids are like being in an actual class. If someone watches all of your vids, and of course is mechanic able , they can service their cars . I enjoy watching your vids

Just as soon as I had logged into my computer this morning, I see yours and Scotty Kilmer's new videos; instinctively I clicked on yours first. And I usually playback Scotty's at twice the speed because his content seems like re-run and largely for entertainment purposes; with yours at normal speed because every word is informative and useful. Thank you for everything your're doing AMD!

Thank you.

Off work today and watching your video ❤ the knowledge you share may God continue to bless you💪🏾

My word, you are knowledgeable! I could listen to you speak all day!

Learned something new I’ve never thought about. When a port injector’s seal goes bad, it lets in unmetered air into the combustion chamber.

I swear I hear my fuel pump kick on when I initially turn to the ON position and my 07 Avalon starts quicker even when all systems are cold. 😂 I was born and raised GM also.

Life was. simpler economical with just port injection 😝. God bless

Thanks for explaining that Toyota doesn’t prime the fuel system. I always wondered why my RAV4 was silent when I turned the key before starting. I was used to my Saturn’s fuel pump running for 4 seconds with the key on.

Very incredible tutor of Toyota engines,am so proud and happy to have come across your channel

Great video about both types of injectors.

I asked you about this system a few days ago, I did not know that you were doing a video LOL, a good video as always, Thanks

Excellent tutorial! Learning so much from you AMD!

Thank you very much sir, I learn a lot from you and sharing to friends, cause your classes is the best ever.

Great video as always 👍, keep your good job.

Excellent Video, didn’t know about these before. Thanks

Thank you for sharing your knowledge , you are amazing and generous.

AMD I can’t thank you enough for the consistently good content. Thanks for breaking things down and explaining how it works. Your videos have enhanced my knowledge and appreciation for how my Toyota works and why it works so well. Also how I can keep my vehicle running for as long as I own it. Quick question on the fuel pump. A month ago Toyota send me notification of a recall but said they’d contact me when the fix was ready. Just curious has Toyota issued anything on that yet?

Hi AMD. Great video as usual. I came here looking for knowledge and you never fail to impress. The information you provide to us is invaluable. Thank you for your dedication to your fellow man. I have an experience I'd like to share with you though. I have a 2018 Toyota Camry Hybrid and at 92Kmi I just had to have all 8 of my fuel injectors replaced. The car developed a rough start and stumble while going from EV to ICE at low speeds or stopped. Not so much at cold start but mostly after warmed up. I'm sure it did it at speed too but was imperceivable due to so much other stuff going on. So I took it to our dealer and they noticed it right away. They found that 2 of the direct injectors were leaking inside the engine and so replaced all 4. They thought they had it fixed but after driving it I could tell it was "better", but still not fixed. So I brought it back and they discovered 1 of the port injectors was leaking inside the engine as well. So they replaced all 4 of those too. When I got home I changed the oil to take care of any possible fuel contamination in it. I have always used 0W16 Toyota motor oil and change it every 5Kmi. I also run fuel system cleaner through it every 15-20K as well for preventative maintenance. The car was made in March of 2018. Was that a problem with the early ones? Do you think the replacements are "new and improved" and this will never happen again? I sure hope so.

This video was extremely informative, you are a great teacher and should work in training Toyota technicians. I love Toyota and will not own anything else.

Thank you man! I think I got my diagnosis ! Will be back with results !

Love this channel man … it has saved me so much grief and money!

mechanics who love TOYOTA and HONDA are the Honest ones.

Excellent video. I was going to pull mine (and replace o-rings) but I don't really suspect they have an issue. I'm currently wrestling with P0420 and everything points to cat, but I want to rule out as much as I can, especially if something caused the bad cat. I thought I'd pull, inspect and clean, but you seem to dismiss the idea of cleaning. I think I'll at least do the sound (clicking) test. The other thing I cannot diagnose is like an air sucking sound upon acceleration, but no exhaust or vacuum leaks found. No other errors beside 420.

Great job like all ways

I make the fuel pipes (aka fuel rail but we call it fuel pipe) for the 2GR 3.5l. The steel ones that is. It looks like the earlier models had a plastic fuel pipe but they started using a steel one which we make. Technically I'm a team leader now so I'm not actually on the line running parts anymore but that's the department that I run.

You said on the injectors applicable to the Nissan Xterra and also your class honor fuel trims great job

Sir you are a great teacher.

Thanks for another great video

God bless you. Excellent video

Oil catch cans isn’t a factory standard but a common mod for direct injection engines. A video with your wisdom would be beneficial for us that wish to make our cars as long as possible

You can repair burnt drivers if you have the know how. They sometimes use fancy transistor array chip which can be hard to obtain. Then you need new ECU.

Great information and advice as usual. Thank you.

They don't prime anymore, my Mk3 Supra sure does prime, it's a reassuring sound when I turn the key.... Following by the wonderful rumble of the 7MGTE. Love your content, keep up the great work

I've been following the issues Ford has been having with their direct injection regarding carbon build up on the back of the intake valves. Ford incorporated a D4S-"like" system on their V6 Ecoboost engines back in 2017. Ford Tech Makuloco ran a camera down one of these engines after about 125k miles and although remarkably improved, he was still seeing noticable buildup on the back of those valves. I would love to see a comparison of a Toyota with 100k+ miles with the D4S system to see how they are doing in comparison.

I feel like I’m getting educated by a professor from Toyota University, great content!

Please explain how the EGR system works on the 2021 2.0 liter engine.

Thanks for the great explanation. Your channel is great!

Wow, this is golden content brother. Thank you kindly.

Thank you!!!

When I did my research before buying my new 2018 RAV4 hybrid (or a 2019 hybrid) I learned about DI and port injection and decided I wanted the tried and true Port Injection 2.5L engine and that's what I bought and am happy. To tell you the truth I like the 18 better than the 19 model but that is just a personal opinion. I absolutely hate those stick up screens and mine is tucked neatly in the dash. I know I don't get the fuel economy of the new DI engine but that's ok too. Great videos and I have learned a lot. thanks. Never miss them. PS: Sometimes in this world, simpler is better.

While I have a car that’s GDI only, I don’t like it for the reasons you mentioned, 1. The fuel pressure is incredibly high and 2. the valves aren’t being cleaned by the fuel as in port injection, so you have carbonization worries. I have to believe the injectors and fuel pump are going to wear out quicker than a car with port injection. And neither one are going to be cheap to replace.

I love this guy

great job. Thanks

Great video on the basics. You left out an important safety item when working with direct injector circuits, the high voltage and amperage. The ECU discharges around 40 volts and on the positive side to get the injector to full open as it grounds the negative side. Around 6-7 amps in the circuit at that time. Once the injector is open, the ECU will turn off the high voltage and pulse the injector with a lower voltage to keep it open the required time. You can't use a NOID or 12 V test lamp on that circuit! Wouldn't be wise to get across that 40 volts either. Piezo injectors even use a much higher voltage. Be sure to read service and safety information when working around DI circuits for the particular vehicle your working on.

I remember having a problem with one of the injectors on my 99 Solara V6, a very intermittent problem though. Dealer couldn't guarantee that new injectors would solve it and wanted over $1000 to replace them. Took many pictures, and took my time replacing the injectors myself. Turns out the dealer was right, new injectors solved the problem. Would later find out there was a TSB on injector issues for that model engine.

Great video as usual.

Nice video. Thanks a lot.

Very clearly elaborated. Thanks! 😊 now i know.

The D4S system. I know it’ll hopefully be reliable long term due to not having carbon build up from the port injection

P02F1. Cyl 4 injector 2020 Camry Fuel injector cleaned did make it. Run better and event the MIL went out but came back replace all high pressure at once .

Mad props to you, AMD. You're like the Yoda of car care. Is there anything you don't know about cars?

Another awesome video ! Thanks!!

U are the best❤

Your videos are too good to be free I hope youtube pay you something good

Another goodie! Thanks.

Thanks, as always, AMD, for this tutorial. Two questions: 1. So is there any well-founded reason to periodically run a PEA additive in a D4S’s fuel system as a maintenance/longevity matter? 2. Do injectors (high and low pressure) generally last longer in a non-turbo engine, compared to those in a turbocharged engine?

I'm just being patiently waiting for your repair video for Toyota forklift and pallet jack

Learned so much about Toyota fuel system. They do not prime…

Thank you again!

I have a c[de P0170 ,P0171 and P0174 engine light os on. I cleaned the Mass air flow sensor.

I like that Toyota is using direct & port at the same time.Honda is using only direct which leads to oil dilution and will eventually damage the engine.

Can you do a series on everything tundra?

I'm getting my EFI system cleaned by Toyota I work for them now as a employee I love my job at the dealership I get discounts on my car services so it pays to be a employee at Toyota .

thanks so much ....a lot of info

Hi AMD, thank you for the videos. They are very informative and well thought out. I appreciate all the work and time you put into these. I tend to do all my maintenance work myself and have been adding to my toolkit to keep up with modern systems. I have a Tacoma and a NX300 and tend to only buy Toyotas. Keeping with this, I am missing the fuel disconnect tool for these vehicles. Are they the standard universal plastic tools that wedge between the connections? Can you recommend the proper tool to remove the fuel lines to get to the injectors? Or does these have a disconnect system built in to the connector that does not require a tool? Either way, would still like to know.

Love your content! I'm a Toyota owner for life. Can you please explain dual fuel setups. Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't most late model Toyota/Lexus vehicles port fuel and direct injection?

Please may i like to know after chr di injecter replaced,what are the calibration which are do via techsterm plz demonstrate another video

Hopefully nippon denso corrected the faulty pump production I haven’t heard anything lately so I’m sure it’s been rectified

AMD, Toyota has the CSP for fuel smell coming from possible fuel leak at high pressure fuel pump. They have us just replacing the pump even though we disconnect the metal fuel line. Should we be replacing that fuel line or only when we remove it completely? Thank you and love your show!

😂, I though 22 minutes to talk about injectors? Boy, was I wrong. Very good video.

Hi, thanks again for your tips. I wonder if there is a fuse in the fuse box that controls just the fuel pump for gen 3 (2010) prius. The reason for this is so that I can take that fuse out so the fuel pump can stop working while I turn on the engine to use all of the fuels in the injector. Then, I will try to replace the fuel injector; otherwise, we might have too much fuel spilling out.

Thanks sir

Please do a video on Camry Hybrid 2018-2021 Battery Fan Filter Replacement.

Hi AMD, Great videos!! When does A25A FXS engine uses direct injection Vs. port injection? Does engine run more on port injection most of time or direct injection most of time? Please 🙏 explain!!! Thank you 😊

These videos are awesome, there's just one problem... They can't come fast enough! I keep saying NO!!! I have to wait to hear about that till the next video!!!! Argh!!!

I appreciate your information. 2UR-GSE, is equipped with dual injection, I have seen people install oil catch cans on them, and they always have to empty the canister with oil on routine oil changes. Can you explain why ?

For the newer engines is there a fuel pump pressure sensor? Or how do you check pressure on the direct injection?

Can you tell us a bit about your work bench? The one that's in this video. Thanks!!

Can you explain why Toyota is going back to EGR. Looking to buying a 2021 Corolla hatch 6 speed manual and noticed an EGR on the 2.0 engine.

Could you please clarify the number on the direct fuel injector assembly - they need to be the same only as the other injectors installed in the engine, or the same as the numbers on the injectors installed originally. More clear question - if the engine had four direct injectors with number 3 on them, would it be allowed to replace them with other four injectors with number 5 on them? EDIT: I could deduct from the video that direct injectors with a different number may be installed, but only if all the injectors are replaced, and the numbers on all the new injectors are equal. However, if the number changes - do I need to perform additional changes on the ECU?

Hello! in need of the community expertise. My Camry has a long crank. I turn the key and the car starts SOMETIMES after 5 seconds or so which seem like forever. It starts right away when I turn the key once, turn it back, then turn it forward a second time. Also known as a 'Key dance.' This happens in any weather and temperature. I have taken it to the Toyota dealership multiple times and to a local shop. They could not figure out what the problem can be. They have 'ruled out' everything from the battery to the starter to fuel pump. I personality think it has to do with fuel pressure via fuel filter issue however, the dealership keeps shutting that theory down. They say they ruled the fuel pump out but they never took it out and examined it. What do you think? Thank you for taking the time to read this and will be very grateful for any insight!

The V-6 in the new 4runners have only direct injection, so how do you keep the valves clean? Unlike port injector the direct inject into the cylinder and not the intake area
