2008 Subaru Outback I found this video I hadn't finished editing from two years ago. So here ya go! I thought it was of no great importance, so I forgot about it. But it has some moments I think you can relate to. Spoiler alert. It wasn't the thing on the spark plug. It was the fact that the spark plugs were loose.

This is on a 1999 Mercury Cougar 2.5L V6 - the same engine as the Ford Contour V6. Oil was leaking out the front crankshaft seal and dripping onto the exhaust. It was no fun to breathe those fumes. This job isn't very difficult. It just requires a special tool to remove and install the crankshaft pulley. I decided that I was going to use my old crankshaft pulley from the old engine that already...

The used DFPE sensor I installed last year failed, resulting in a P0401 code for insufficient EGR flow. Here's the diagnosis and replacement. 1999 Mercury Cougar 2.5L V6. This engine came out of a 1998 Ford Contour, so the procedure is the same.

1999 Mercury Cougar 2.5L V6 There were actually two problems contributing to the P0401 code. (Spoiler alert!) 1. The vacuum hose between the EGR solenoid and the EGR valve had a leak. The vacuum leak wasn't audible and that leak threw me off, making me think the EGR solenoid was bad. 2. The DPFE sensor was bad. Even if there would have been EGR flow, it wasn't reading any EGR flow. 0:00 Intro a...

The fuel pump module is necessary so that if there's a crash, it can turn off the fuel pump. It's a safety thing, so don't just bypass it. Replace it if it's not working.

    Great video! I just changed my power steering fluid on a honda element. I'm not sure what happend but I'm no longer getting any air bubbles and my outlet hose from the resevoir is crushing with air after running for 30 sec or so. I can hear the suction as the engines running coming from the resevoir side of the hose. Eventually the resevoir will overflow if level is topped off. I'm hoping I didn't burn any components. Cars off the ground. Was rotating tires with car off, then on. Wasn't driving around town tearing up the pump. Any suggestions what I can do? Did I just not get all the air out of the system..

    Good video! My car is 2013 Hyundai Elantra GLS, currently at 125k. About a month ago it wasn’t blowing cold air so I decided to use one of this refrigerant cans and accidentally put to much in the system. Had to take it to a shop so they evacuated the whole system, changed the expansion valve and refilled it. It didn’t seem to work cause a/c was working but not getting cold air as it should. Now I’m having this issue with my RPM at idle when the A/C is on. It also have this little noise coming from the blower motor, but it only seems to happen when idling. Car runs smooth, but at red lights or stop signs RPM goes down and it becomes shaky and then this noise from the blower motor comes out (it only happens when a/c is on). Also replaced the throttle body, coils, spark plugs, MAP sensor, PCV valve because of this rough idle, and right now IDK what else to do with this. Dealer was asking for $550 for just a diagnosis and I don’t trust them anymore, so I’m running out of ideas

      @jtandrews3 5 днів тому

      @@thatboiiraw First thing I'd check is the idle air control valve. The A/C does put a load on the engine, so idle fluctuations are normal, but it shouldn't seem like it's about to stall the whole time the compressor is on. Also, the radiator fan should also come on while the compressor is on.

    I have a 10 lb Sledge with a 12-inch handle. Because of its mass you only have to take a small stroke to make the metal sing. Because it's the vibration that causes the separation of the parts. That comes from an auto mechanic who has been working on cars since 1963. And I love physics. Give it a try next time. Great video

      @jtandrews3 Місяць тому

      I've seen super short red lights on another street nearby. My best guess is it has to do with the traffic sensors. They can do things like delay the green light when it senses a red-light runner. It's possible the light was about to change for a car waiting at the cross-street, but if they turned right on red, it could have cancelled their green light. Just a guess though.

    Hi John . Thanks for this informative video, It really helps one understand the technical aspects of the transmission. By the way, recently I forgot to depress the clutch and shifted into a gear while my brand new car was stationary. This caused the instant grinding noise. Would you please let me know if my car's transmission / engine will continue to perform without an issue for the rest of its life , taking into consideration that such accidental yet occasional grinds could still happen to my car's manual transmission in the future ?. Thanks !
