      I like it, it worked on my 05 ford escape engine light. It found fuel pressure sensor was bad.
      Said timing on cylinder 1 is advanced
      Said fuel trim is -7

      Needed a reliable daily, not a fan of the new turbo/direct injection engines for a daily so I went with the port injection proven K series motor and the Manual transmission (Lots of problems with the new CVT autos).

The motor was from a Vet and had a HP of 540. 4 speed inline Hertz stick, 12 inch bell housing, high speed/interceptor rear end. I got a ticket once for going 95; I was only in 2nd gear running 6200 rpms. This car leaked oil; coming out of both ends. Broke both motor mounts within a year, broke the clutch plate a year later. I learned more about cars in those 2 years than most mechanics learn in a life time. That is why I like your videos. You know cars.

    I have a 2000 TL 3.2 (I'm the original owner) with just under 247,000 miles on it...still going! (If I ever win the lottery, my dream car is the 2019-20 TL with P-AWS...had a Prelude with all-wheel steering back in the day, and loved it!!)

      So did I, we bought it used. We had a brand new Transmission put in it because there was a recall. Honda did a fantastic job replacing the Transmission, never had any other problems with that car. I miss that car, I gave it to my sibling and bought an Accord.

    I have looked at the new 2022 MDX and it looks terrific and most car reviewers are raving about the many changes inside and out. I plan to drive it at our Hoover, Alabama location early February. Just drove the new Genesis GV80 last week, and it is also excellent, but they marked it up on mid-range model over $11,000 above list price. That is stupid and they need to get this brand off and running before taking advantage like that. There is just to much competition. I just wished they had bumped up to a plug-in hybrid. I plan on buying my wife and I plug-in hybrids, as so many friends have tried straight EV's only finding the infrastructure is not good in 90% of America. In five years or so, that may change, but we like traveling and hearing scary stories of friends and family stranded with their EV's does not set well. If you run out of battery at say 40 miles or so, it just switches over to gas mode and you may travel maybe up to 350 more miles with no driver anxiety. The MDX will still do well, but Lexus will not sit there to long without addressing this in both the NX this fall, with a plug-in hybrid and perhaps the RX 450h not far off. Now, that may just be worth waiting for, 42+ miles on pure electric charge, and maybe 350+ miles on gas power too! Research shows most will drive 80% of the year just on EV power, (standard travel to work and back) but longer trips will be most satisfying knowing you don't have to stay over night in a hotel to charge, or wait in line for others to get off the level 2 chargers, etc. Just plug in at home or stop at your gas station on every corner in America. What a wonderful time, as we see this transformation.

    My mom had a Mazda in the early 90’s and bought a brand new ‘98 Toyota Corolla LE at the time, I was 3 years old. My first vehicle I purchased is a 2018 RAV-4 LE. Haven’t been let down by any of these Japanese made cars!

    I’m not sure I should admit this here but I didn’t know that Honda was the parent company until this video. They did a great job of separating the two brands with that secret squirrel meeting.
