      Very in depth. At the same time, if u were the cars owner ..before taking it to a mechanic I would have bought and used that royal purple stuff and see if it fixed it..and if not, then take it in.
      So as an owner, start small and cheap. So maybe start backwards.
      As the mechanic, it's the opposite. Start with basics and work forward .
      That royal purple I believe has PEA. Only use fuel system cleaners with PEA. It's the only proven ingredient that works. Amsoil makes one with it too. I'm unsure who else .

      I took my truck to a shop that was in business for 40+ years. They couldn't figure out the problem, so I had to have it towed again. I didn't catch it that the mechanic couldn't be bothered to put the spark plugs back in spite of me supplying a set of new plugs.
      After the truck sat for two years, I cleaned it up to have it towed to another shop. Mud dauber nests everywhere! I reminded the new (to me) shop not to turn the crankshaft until any mud dauber dirt was cleared from the spark plugs holes and cylinders.

    You saved me with the guidance and suggestion offered in this video when I desperately needed accurate answers while stranded in Nowheresville Florida! My 2008 XC90 went crazy on me, whereby it ultimately went into limp mode, a nerve racking experience while driving on the highway, which was indeed my experience. At first I figured my circumstances were the result of corrosion in the CEM; I opened everything everything up, found a ton of corrosion and followed your advice from a separate video involving a Nissan. I was so happy to successfully remove the corrosion and was certain that I could then continue my 1,000 mile road trip to visit my son for a weekend of camping; however, I was mistaken, whereby the situation did not improve in the least. While dangerously making my way down the highway in limp mode in an attempt to find an autoparts store, I felt overwhelmed with uncertainty with regard to what needed to be done and my uncertainty of what that action entailed. After finding an autoparts store, I went through the following attempts to no avail: changed the upstream oxygen sensors, MAF sensor, and fuel rail position sensor. I then came across this video...I followed your guidance precisely down to the particular brand (though while keeping the vehicle in park, yet maintaining 4,000 RPMs nonetheless) and yes sir, it fixed everything! I am happy and grateful beyond words, and am rather amazed that universe enabled me to address unreleated though important maintenance issues along the way, by way of your guidance!

      You only want to use premium fuel if the owner's manual says so. If your fuel injectors were that dirty, also clean your throttle body, maf and map sensors if equipped. Then do 80 on the highway for a half hour or take a nice road trip. Did this for my gf's 13 Elantra and now no more shaking and runs like new. She used to do mostly city driving. That'll dirty it up.

      The service department does not make a penny if you buy a new car, other than PDI. Each department in all dealerships run independently of each other. Also the service department is a bigger profit center than the profit for the sale of new cars.

Although there are few businesses that operate with a margin as low as auto dealerships, a year end net profit as low as 2% is considered a profitable year. Also dealers have to make money somewhere, if it is not in The trade, F&i or service it would have to be in new car price’s
