    Hey Danny do you think you could show how to remove the Fuel filler housing assembly that surround the fuel neck I can’t find a video anywhere on how to remove it because there’s rust behind it that I can’t get it without removing it.

    Hey Danny fantastic informative video . Also can you tell is your car have a rich condition ? Because looking at your scanner at the ending of the video , it appears it’s taking fuel away on both long and short term and it was in closed loop ?.. thank you sir

      That’s correct, because it was not reading the temperature data correctly it effects the fuel delivery, great observation

    Hey Danny...one question? Was this an intermittent problem, or did the thermister have a sudden failure and would always show excessive temp? Good use of the diagnostic tools!

      Was not intermittent, it failed all the time

    Danny, do you know at what temperature radiator fan should normally turn on? And if I read temperature data via obd snanner it relays on top sensor, right?

    my daughter won't check her transmission fluid even though it has leaks at the seals on ends of transmission drive shafts they are small leaks when driving.
    how accurate does the transmission fluid level have to be if it is a bit low or high above range will it mess anything up ? she has 2007 with 182,000 miles.
