I'm so glad you informed others including myself on not going straight to emissions to get a test because I just went and got my Gas pump assembly replaced and my engine light was still on so I came home and tuned in to your channel blog and took off the ground wire for 5 min and worked successfully now I will wait and drive for 2 weeks before going to emissions

Unfortunately in Canada, most places charge $140-190 just to plug their diagnostics tool in. Right now I need an 02 sensor replaced and I already know the issue from plugging in my friend’s obd code reader. I went to multiple repair shops and they all say they have to charge me first to plug in their own device even though I know what the problem is. The total cost to change 1 o2 sensor will be above $700
@TightWadDIY
@TightWadDIY 8 ай бұрын
Sounds about right. Their “diagnostics fee” is their biggest money maker because they get $100+ for a 5 min diagnostic. You are really paying for their knowledge but it’s a bit much. Find a place they doesn’t charge the fee as long as you let them do the repair and you will know you have a good shop.

Clean the gasket inside the gas cap & all around where it seats. Check the gasket for cracks. A paper towel & some WD40 works. Freezing weather may shrink the gasket. Maybe time for a new gas cap.

Better NOT use WD40 on most ANY rubber, it simply dries out the lubracating or natural oil compounds out of the rubber making it become brittle over some time. Best purchase some 303 lubricant spray it helps restore the natural compounds in Rubber therefore making the rubber components last a long time!!

Hi! I have a 2006 Toyota matrix and was told that the check engine light sensor was disabled intentionally. Do you have a video showing how to possibly fix that? Also the lightbulb in my gear shifter is out for you have a video how to take that apart and put in a new lightbulb or check to see if maybe at some thing else? Anyway, thank you for your video that was really cool and insightful.
