    if the check engine light goes back on after erasing the code, just use a little piece of black tape to cover it up. bye bye check engine light!

    I've gotta be honest here. I'm not a car enthusiast, but the primary reason I subscribed is 70% because of the entertainment value and 30% due to the important information your videos have. Your enthusiasm, humor and editing keeps me coming back.

    Just make sure, when you do get a "check engine" light, you have good oil pressure(the oil gauge is in the normal range or the "oil" light isn't on.) I love how the repair shops advertise that "if your check engine light comes on, take it to us immediately!" So they can tell you to buy a bunch of stuff you probably don't even need!

    German cars should replace the "Check Engine" message with "Time to Milk Your Wallet."

    What I've learned, with check engine lights, ALLWAYS check the electrical connections first before replacing any parts. Lots of times it's just a loose connection that makes those stupid codes come up.

    I agree with your thoughts on this. Engine sensors do their job, and as long as the engine does it's job too, good enough! Trying to outguess a faulty sensor can be frustrating too.

    scotty every video you make is helpful to many people out there, let all the haters deal with their cars breaking down and knowing nothing about turning a wrench. keep up the good work bud.

    Still one of my favourite UA-camrs and I have no idea why. I think it's the way you deliver information like no other. All the best! - fellow UA-camr from the UK.
