Starter relay switch

The crop of engineers for later models are like gen x'rs here. On the V6 Venza the intake manifold AND wiper cowl have to come out to c/o the rear spark plugs!Totally f'd up.

Thank you for your tutorial on the troubleshooting. Have an issue with P0303 on the same car model 17 Elantra SE 2L. I bought the car used with an odometer at ~62k miles back in January 2023 for my son to drive. Two weeks later after the purchase, the engine light came up and the code was P0303. I called the car shop that the previous owner was using and found out that he brought the car for the same reason at 55k miles and the tech replaced 4 spark plugs (Denso 3461) & one coil (Import Direct 230578). After checking spark plugs and coils (all clean no issues), I tried to switch coils btw 3 & 1 but there was still same issue - engine shaking and code present (after reset). As the last attempt I checked the cabin and engine filters. These were dirty beyond believe. Apparently, the previous owner drove almost 6 years w/out changing these once. Okay. So I replaced both and the engine code gone. Little victory. Yesterday and 23k miles later my son calls me about engine shaking and we got the same code P0303. I replaced the third coil with Delphi ignition coil bought at Walmart. The code is gone and I showed my sone how to do it. a) Should I replace the other 3 coils or should I give him spares since he goes to AL in about 3 weeks? b) I suspect I'm gonna get a call on this again. Should I replace ECU ? The new OEM ECU is around $500. Not sure if replacing ECU is something I can try. I have Autel MaxiAP AP200 OBD2 Scanner Bluetooth Wireless tool for this car. Would you recommend replacing ECU if the code comes up again or should we bring this car to the dealership for reprogramming? Not sure how much they charge on that.

You need to use a TDC whistle or a finger on the spark plug hole on these engines to get to compression stroke. THEN look at your timing marks at the timing cover & harmonic balancer.

I cut mine out with a zip wheel the T bracket thing that goes through the tire wheel dropped and i installed a new hoist they don’t cost much and they don’t have that hook thing.

Quick little tip helped a lot, thanks!

Thank you , what was this part called?

What if one of the cams ain’t lining up and the other two are I keep getting it close

Just though of something that could help , the clip is what's frozen right? So, if you carefully drill the flange and install a grease zirt you can pump grease into the stuck area and push out any rust and dirt that's holding you up right? Of course you would of course verify the diameter of the zirt first to determine what drill bit to use and probably use an angle air drill to do this .

This is what happens when they are improperly installed, mopar says always liberally grease the inside and outside splines both where the shaft goes through the wheelbearing and where it clips on the stubshaft with waterproof grease or moly grease to prevent dirt and moisture from entering the retaining clip area. But most folks get in a hurry and just slam em in not thinking about stuff like that, then guess who has to fix it properly, ME ! THATS WHO😂😂😂😂

😂😂😂 took me 3.5 hrs to do both sides. Can't believe people pay that. It's ridiculous

This is an awesome video. I hate that I had to replace the rear main seal twice in the vehicle before I found this out lol

You could have gotten to the purple relay from prying AC outlet on the left would have given you a top view

Yeah the 09 - 13 corolla's are super fun. I loosened the engine mount a little, not all the way, on the passenger side and raised the engine with a hoise about an inch and was able to slide the control arm bolt out beneath the bottom of the oil pan. Haha dont ask about the drivers side. -.- good video though.

10 hours really

I sent my heads off to the machine shop and when they came back the timing mark on the driver side won’t line up I try to turn it and when I get close to where it’s supposed to be it spines it’s self past it

Definitely more work than expected but i did one side in an hour and some change in the driveway on my sisters solara. That estimated time is waaay off😂. It is not THAT difficult c'mon, I'm only 21 and I don't have any of those fancy tools like a lift. Remove the 3 motor mount bolts, jack up the motor, remove the old control arm, slip in the new one and boom, lower the engine down.

Too bad you posted this video one year ago. There might be an open recall for the can blower switch. Had one on ours after we had paid to replace it. Didn't get a refund and they still replaced it again and told me if the dealer had done the job we could get our money back.

Have disconneced the module,will the battery need replaced as I have been jumping it for around a year now?

Can you use a regular hammer if you dont have the air hammer im having this rusted pump issue with my truck right now

226k same here

Great multimeter diagnostic tips.

😢 It's INFINITI and not infinity for the personwho posted that comment. Not trying to be funny!

Oh, I have an infinity fx35 with 210,000 on it, it smokes a lot when you first start it up for the day but then dissipates, but it's been doing that for a couple years now, still going! Timing chain slap bad as well, that worries more than the smoking. I just wonder and can't seem to find any info but will the nissan fx50 5.0 engine bolt up in there?

Just came across this video and I'm blown away and I'll tell you why. I couldn't imagine what you paid for that snap on scope and hate to tell you but my wife got me one from Temu last year for 36 bucks I think it was and um, it's the same thing! Same features on the screen, even the same color it just doesn't say snap on ,,,,on the front! When I seen your screen I couldn't believe it, it's the same as my 36 dollar unit! Also got a code reader from there as well, wonder if it's the same as well? However I've always thought those "tool trucks" were a scam, and now I know for sure they are!!

Dude, that trick saved my DAY!! Thank you so much! With this trick it was easy changing those rusty CV axles over for some new ones!!

me sirvió de mucho, Gracias

Help needed… I had a P0305 almost a yr ago. Replaced all plugs and cylinder 5 coil. Same problem has come back. Replaced all plug and cylinder 5 coil again. Still have the issue. It’s a 2019 Ford F-150 2.7 Ecoboost with no other issues. Any ideas would be great.

Awesome video and great tips. Been there and done this too many times. Most recently has been the sway bar bushing clamp bolts. The bolt heads usually just break off and your running through MANY drill bits trying to drill through the tough steel. Maybe there's a way to get the ball joint clamp on there.. I don't know. Throwing a hammer through the wall sure doesn't help

did mine today 2 hours totall.. that's why shops are ripoff

thanks a ton. one i did was terrible. 04 with 230k miles.

Good video

Have you fix the problem. Same symptoms of mine

Thank you so much! Had spent hours checking things under the hood and didn’t know much about wiring. This solved the problem and I learned lots of things. Thank you

Why not just a simple compression test

Very educational, thanks.

Was this vehicle in a fire?? It looks partially burnt up

My car keeps cranking once I put the battery terminals. Changed the starter, checked fuses and still does the same thing. Any ideas ?

This worked great! Thank you so much!

I just got my compressor change 2 weeks ago , now it’s not blowing cold air anymore

So a bad ac module can cause ur ac compressor to not kick on??

I had the same issue with a 2003 Matrix with just over 240k miles. By far, the easiest way to access the relay is to remove the silver cover from the dash that holds the left-most vent and interior dimmer. Remove that and it’s quite easy to remove/reinstall the relay with no tools. A rod-type stethoscope can tell you if the relay “pics” when turning the ignition.

this aint no 2002

Yep had this elbow hose go on my 2004 1.9 TDi Passat. It took about a year to find the fault and 4 technicians. That was about 14 years ago now, still got the car and replaced that hose still fine to this day....and yes was expensive!! Mine split on the other side of the elbow so the mist oil patch was hidden away and not obvious. UK viewer, liked :)

Thats a fancy air hammer attachment , i never seen onr like that , after buying tons of fan wrenches i dont have one for the 05 chevy 5.3 im working on , and its whooping me..

worst video i ever watched nothing about the problem just talking about other stuff dum

Very good information. Thanks for taking the time to create a video.

Snap On has more competition now than ever before. As sockets go, some mids or semi deep or wtf ever they call them are a good all around. But man, so many other way more refined options where ratchets are concerned. You’d think they could figure out to at least chamfer the edge of the ratchet head to reduce the ease of damaging the chrome there. I don’t mean scratch, I mean flat dinging the crap out of that edge and causing flaking and sharp edges. I made a 14mm torque adapter as it was the cheapest and quickest solution at the time I needed on. Still took a 24” ratchet (needed to be able to adjust the position) and still took 2 more feet of breaker. As far as that adapter, it wasn’t powdered metal (someone else already pointed that out). Looks to me like there was a stress riser in that corner of the drive hole. Happens. It’s why so often you see radiused inside corners instead of sharp.

Life as a mechanic man I hear yah
