2nd Gen Prius Door Won't Stay Open- Door Check Replacement
Step by step instructions on how to replace the door check on a second generation Prius. The door check is the part that helps to keep the door from slamming closed and allows it to stay open.
The Dorman part I bought made a noise when I installed it. Luckily I had an Aisin part that I was going to use of the passenger door (it can be rotated to work for either side) and when I installed the Aisin part it worked without any clicking noise.
Door check part:
Aisin DCT-00-1

Upgrading the CCV connection from valve cover to intake manifold on 2001 Jeep XJ Cherokee Sport 4.0L. Should work on late 90's-2001. The stock setup relies on a rubber connector to a plastic tube.

VERY GOOD
Thanks.
Thanx Jeff, great video
You're welcome! Thank you for watching.
Wow very good ideas thakns
You're welcome. Glad it helped.
Has it collapsed under vacum with the heat of the engine bay?
No. The line is thick rubber reinforced with braiding.
What year is your xj? Ive got a 95 xj. And when I do a job like this thats going to require the cpu to relearn the parameters of the new sensors… I disconnect the battery. And then after about 20 minutes, I touch the pos and neg battery cables together. Note: you can do this on the ‘96 and older xj,s. But Ive read that you do NOT touch the battery cables together on newer models.) For the newer models, touch the pos cable to a solid ground on the frame or engine. Re install the battery cables and then turn the key so can turn on the headlights. This tells the cpu to dump the saved info and start relearning new info. Ive been told that the next fifty start ups are what the cpu uses to relearn the new parameters of your xj. Sooo.. I like to take the jeep out for a couple of good, long drives on a highway as well as normal puttering about on regular town roads.
2001. Thanks.
For sure, the cpu needs to 're-learn' some high and low parameters, always unhook the neg terminal and when all is complete, take it for a drive, accelerating and decelerating to help the system to reset.
Could of just got a new fitting for the intake that was 1/2 or 9/16 and had one size hose....
I wondered why the Jeep was designed this way with 2 different size openings. A mechanic told me they did that on purpose to affect the way the air flows from one end to the other. So, it seems it isn't meant to be one continuous size hose. But, I don't know how much of a difference it would make in real life if you altered it to just one size all the way through. Check out "Boyle's law" online. Assuming the gas in the hose remains at the same temp at the other end then with the lower volume in the hose there will be higher pressure at the side of the intake compared to the valve cover. But, I don't know if the gases in coming out of an XJ Valve cover behave like "ideal gases" so maybe I'm not properly applying this rule of physics.
Fantastic video! Thanks!
Thanks. I'm happy you enjoyed it.
How much horsepower did it add?
I don't know. The reason I wanted to replace the original was because the rubber adaptor kept cracking. The fuel line hose is a lot stronger.
At least 4
Probably 20 and 30 foot pounds of torque. Lol
Why mlp?
I didn't pick it on purpose. It was trial and error at the hardware store to find a connector that fit on both tubes. That was just what I happened to find.
@@DIYwithDrJeffwhy quarter inch if it’s a 1/2 hose?
@@highwayxj9397 It was just trial and error. You'd think the straight 1/2 x 3/8 would work but it didn't. I looked it up and MIP stands for "Male Iron Pipe" meaning it's male threading. They don't actually have to made of iron anymore. I also typed in "1/4 mip dimensions" to Google and it said that outside diameter is 0.54 inches. That would explain why it fit for the 1/2 inch hose.

Hi there, Do you need to disconnect the battery when removing that whole Throttle Body?TIA
According to the service manual it doesn't say to do that. To try to get the computer to "learn" there was a new IAC and adjust the air flow I disconnected the neg cable after I was all done. But, that wasn't part of the procedure itself. In my case my rough idle is only marginally better so I plan to go down the stepladder suggested in the manual to address it. I'll try to make a video on that later.
@@DIYwithDrJeff Thank you so much.cheers
Thank you
So hellpfol
Thanks! This makes me feel great. The whole reason why I started a UA-cam channel was to pay it forward given the help I've gotten from other people.
Better use a syringe
The pen has a built-in syringe like plunger. No needles necessary. Ha ha.
All that for a ball point
It takes less than 60 seconds and the benefit of a refillable pen is less single use plastic. I often see pens, lighters, and other debris on the beach. Thank you for watching.
@DIYwithDrJeff by all means that's super valid, I just would want a fountain nib
this video changed my life, thank you doctor
That's awesome!
Hi
Hi back to you!
Someone asked if I could provide a link on Amazon to the parts I used. I bought everything at the local hardware store and auto repair store, old fashioned brick and mortar. I would try typing these items into Amazon: -1/4" MIP x 3/8" barb brass connector. - 1/2" fuel line - 3/8" fuel line.
Hi, did the red triangle and the DTC p0a08 both immediately go away once the fuse was changed?
Yes. It went away immediately. Note that I disconnected the negative battery (ground) during the procedure which resets the computer and clears codes. But the red triangle never came back, and I have done about 50 drive cycles since and no codes. There may be other causes for the P0A08 but luckily in my case it was just a simple fuse. I hope yours tuns out to be nothing more also.
@@DIYwithDrJeff Thank you for your reply, but it didn't work for me. Oh well, back to the drawing board.
@@user-wn7nz1mq4l Sorry to hear that. My fuse was visibly bad so that was the clue to my problem. This is what stinks about fault codes- there can be multiple causes. It can be super frustrating working on your own vehicle.
@@DIYwithDrJeff This is true. Actually, when I removed the 5 amp fuse it looked exactly like yours. My hopes were raised briefly.
@@user-wn7nz1mq4lBummer. Try this forum as there are some Prius mechanics on there who might be able to help. priuschat.com/forum/
Straight forward, clear, concise. I've changed oil on a 1000 different cars, but this is the first change on a hybrid (new to me 2014 prius), just wanted to make sure nothing was different. Same as any other ICE (save the oil filter adapter). You even through in part numbers. Subbed. Thank you dude!
Thanks! I'm really happy that I was able to help.
Very clear and helpful directions!
Thanks. 🙂
