I am soooo so grateful and excited that I found this video! Thank you guys so much. As a woman, I feel very when I find repairs that I can do myself. I already have all the tools needed in my box. If it wasn't dark outside, I would be ON IT! I can't wait to fix my Stormy Weather tomorrow! Thank you again!! 💪🏾💖🙌🏽

Pete, you are great! I enjoy your channel very much, even though I will never build an engine. I am just someone who developed an interest in cars late in life. You said that you were an engineer at GM for "many, many years." You are not old enough to have LIVED for many, many years, let alone worked that long, my friend!

when the alignment sensors are already on the car and the before alignment specs are recorded I can do a 4 wheel alignment on a honda accord in 10 minutes its totally easy. the hardest part is getting the readings in the first place. if the alignment is off be 4 degrees it can be like driving on ice on wet roads

I would test something because EFI wasn't surrent time but they was using diesel fuel at the time General motor timed up with ? Detroit motors they came out with diesel engine my request is carburetor intake on the duramax just ????? It has to done a internal combustion but my ideal can be done and it already has because Cummins, Detroit, international, Ford, has already ran the carburetors on diesel engines, EFI didn't come out at a surrent time specially for chevy early 90s late 80s they swap to EFI. ?

I have a 2013 sonic 1.4 turbo and I was driving my car all of a sudden got louder so I tried to get home then the engine power reduce light came on and my car went to 5mph then it cut off and I tried to turn it back on and no response so months later I took it to a shop they replaced the body control module and the car worked great for 3 days and it went back to the same issue so I took it back and they couldn’t find the issue , so far I replaced the starter , ignition switch , battery and still no solution so the shop installed a button to start the car which it’s wired to the starter so when the car don’t start from the key I have to hold the button to start so I drove it back home the engine reduce came back on again and I just left it parked and I still can’t figure it out

I've had 5 mechanics, including GM mechanics, replaced everything the computer tells me to replace, everything that GM suggest, sometimes more than once, plus extra grounding was done. None of it worked. Last time GM mechanic said computer recommends replace TAC module, which has been done twice and if this does not work there is nothing we can do. Dah, would you ever tell anyone that? shared issue with GM and they said we will get back to you; well they have not and are not interested. Any suggestions?

I’ve been looking at getting a Chevy Malibu been doing a lot of research on it. If you didn’t already get a new Accelerator Pedal….. it might be High Pressure Fuel Pump roller follower pin walking contacting the cylinder head that and will put the car in reduce power mode its was a problem with the 2016-2019 1.5 engines You can look online GM posted about it ‘ PIP5610 maybe that might help you

And you can’t really find anything on KZfaq or google talking about that issue with the pin hitting the cylinder head so I guess it’s doesn’t happen a lot but I hope you can figure it out and it’s not that problem ..

I have been dealing with this problem for 2 years , every time I change the whole throttle body and it will last about 6 months before it says reduce engine power. Luckily my auto parts store allows me to exchange the throttle body for free. I have no idea what to do next.
