No lie scotty is the ONLY youtuber i hope never dies.
thanks for the support!
Ahhhh get out of my dead. I was going to say that....
Yeah he's got great sense of humor
Bass Red hahahaha
If he does Ima make the trip to pay my respects
Who wouldn't want a mechanic like Scotty. All mine have been thieves.
I fill your pain... got screwed off $400
allison chang I’m from Melbourne Australia and it’s the same here,haven’t found an honest one yet!
Street Life I got screwed 389.99 😂
Yeah it's great when he does burnouts in your car and ruins your tires
@@SageTrimarco are you talking about his mustang or your car?
I am mechanic from, the Philippines, I study my computer equipped engine, the basic electrical and electronic function of sensors,I don't have an scanner, but because of this channel, it's really helps me a lot.God bless sir.Scotty.
lol, "the idiots that designed this car..." good ol' scotty kilmer
Hes not blunt, he's just dead honest.
They designed it that wsy to discourage diy guys.
I love this guy and his sense of humor
I think the reason why Scotty Kilmer is so smart and upbeat is that he does his work OUTSIDE and not under blue light. Getting some sun is a GOOD IDEA!!!
Did your oncologist suggest that?
Scotty, you're a hoot. I laughed for a long time at the "idiots" line. Classic stuff. Don't ever change, brother.
My Aunt had a Jag, plagued with issues. Found a solution, a new Camry :)
MrCliffda3rd it’s funny bc I have a Camry and I have a fuel pump problem and I have to fix it 😂
Just because it's a Toyota dont mean it wont have problems. Picked up someone on the side of the road. Transmission went in his Corolla with 130k. I drive a cvt Altima with 183k. Go figure...
You are poor then.
toyota just had a 2 million recall on fuel pump issue
Jajajajja
I like his enthusiasm.People like him make the world great.
Indeed they do...
with his videos i’m sure he’s making the world a better place ❤️❤️❤️
I love that little smile he does just after yelling ‘rev up your engines’. It’s so wholesome and he loves what he does. Nothing but good luck and good fortune to this man.
I'm gonna show this to my wife when she gets home. This was worth the watch, just to see you go Scotty. You are funny and love your energy.
can't believe so many dislikes for free advice.... jaguar owners be hatin lol
That's from Jag lovers.If you can't afford to have a car fixed don't buy a fancy piece of crap.that's my tip for the new yr.
Edward Perez sometimes it's not just about having money to fix a car, but the feeling you get after you fix something on your own.
malaihi
I want to see a video on a fuel pump replacement on a 2002 Sequoia Toyota
Harminnie Mendez its under the back seat..very easy
if he disses any luxury car brands( especially mercedes) it will have many dislikes lol
I wonder if Jaguar has ever seen this??
You rock Scotty!
Jaguar knows they're dumb. They don't care, this is what makes it so only rich people own them. Jaguar's rollin in the dough.
These videos are a blessing. I'm making minimum wage so I cant afford mechanic fees. On the bright side I've gotten pretty good at repairs.
Great video. Scotty always has good stuff, and fun to watch too!
He did forget to mention one of the oldest test in the book. The pop bottle test. Works good if you don’t have a fuel pressure gauge or access to the Schrader valve.
Disconnect power to coils/spark plugs. Disconnect fuel line, use a piece of hose to direct it into a pop bottle. Crank it over for a few seconds. Should get about 4-8 oz of fuel. Works best on older mechanical style fuel pumps, but can give you an idea on electronic fuel pumps.
Don't be mad about Scotty Kilmer when he says that kind of car is bad or this is not good etc. He wants you to save money elsewhere and he is absolutely right.
Or he just gets endorsements for certain brands . It’s also lazy analysis to just say a car is crap . Every car has it’s tough fixes
Levi Callis he doesn't get endorsements he tells the truth and seems like you cant handle it.
@@biggestfan2421 If the naysayers would cross check Scotty's opinions with the Consumer Reports yearly car issue they'd see he's on target most of the time. Their lists go back 5 year models if the vehicle has been made long enough. Their ratings are based on questionnaires sent to every subscriber to the magazine. Problem or good performance are listed for engines, electrical, transmission,brakes,AC, etc. Don't buy a car til you check it out. If it,'s rated as reliable then have a mechanic check it out. They also cover major appliances , computers, home ACs, etc in their yearly general guidebook. They'll save you thousands. Like Scotty, they accept no advertisers. They also list the true gas milage for every model.
Jags suck.
@@johnchandler1687 bes the reason i got a vette instead of a boxster. Boxster was more classy but it has a hard engine to work on when things go wrong plus its still porsche so ill pay more just for the name
like this guy.....hes the ozzy of diagnosis...
GREAT info delivery with humour and no nonsense. I'm so grateful he has provided so much help and advice for every day people to get the job done properly! Many thanks Scott. Please keep the burnouts going!
Scotty you have helped me so much, no matter the issue with my car I find my self coming back to your channel and it actually helps. So thank you
scotty looks like a cross of ozzy Osborne and robin Williams
and john lennon
Remonds me of the bloke out the film speed
d Robertson he should be in a fast n furious movie or a need for speed game
DRIFT,SMOKE,AND FUCKIN OFF Dennis Hopper
Getty Lee from Rush :-)
You look like a fucking majestic sea captain in this video
+LazyEyeCrazyI and sounds like a drunk, excited, teenage, Christopher Walken
You're right. Which is probably why I kept watching till the end.
Scotty knows how to walk you through it step by step..I really do appreciate his expertise 👍🏾💯
Scotty, just wanted to give you kudos for being such an awesome UA-cam treasure! Keep up the amazing work! 👍👍
Easily number one car channel on UA-cam
Thanks for the support!
Desmondjesuspants man he makes it so plain and simple with very good humor good man
Seems like half the time older models like the 60's all the way up to 80's and early 90's of vehicles are reliable, cheap, and more simple. Now you have these complicated monsters.
The old ones weren't necessarily all that much more reliable, if at all. Usually it's just older people remembering the good times.
Old is gold ✌️
I agree
I still have my 1996 Toyota Corolla which can develope issues that are not that difficult to get to to fix
however it runs
my main vehicle is a 2004 isuzu ascender
which I'll admit I see the check engine on a bit more frequent
I got an '88 Nissan and I'm 28, so it wouldn't be me remembering the good times. She has her issues but she's a reliable workhorse.
Your videos really help young ones like us who enjoy working on our own car in a safe manner, thanks scotty!
Imagine if Scotty became a car designer, I'd love to see his ideas on how they should be designed by a master mechanic who can sort through all the insane design flaws that are all too common! It would be Amazing!
THIS GUY IS FUCKING AMAZING.....
Edgar , I feel the same way , I love this guy
How.................
Edgar Gonzalez YES he is,)))
My car wont start
I could watch his videos all day
Thanks for the support!
Any time. You've helped me more than you know.
Ashley Carriger I can watch your videos all day 😆😆😆
Ashley Carriger Scotty is the best! Well...except for his cat
Robbie Holz why what happened to his pussy? 🐱
This dude has helped millions including myself ... thanks scotty 🤝
Sometimes, I fear for his life. His brutal honesty is something that doesn't sit well with powerful governments and giant corporations.
I watch a lot of repair channels
Your one of the best !!!
Thanks for the support!
You’ve helped me through a few cars man and I love your talent..... and the funnies ! Big Up To uncle Scotty! Lol
Thanks, but I’ll stick to my ‘01 Toyota Camry LE with 311,420 miles that runs like a Swiss clock, with original engine and automatic transmission and everything works!! Blows cold AC when I need it and heat when I need it. I repainted it, and tinted the windows and looks brand new. Inside is in excellent condition, has power everything including a manufacture sunroof!! I Do most of the maintenance myself and the complex stuff I take to a trusted mechanic. I’ve had it for the past 12 years and plan on keeping it another 12.
Can't beat the older Toyota's, don't think new one's will last like that.
I still consider buying early 80s cars. Firstly they're reliable, secondly they're pretty easy to find, a lot of people who bought them brand new and kept maintaining them are getting too old to drive so they decide to sell them. That's how I ended up with a Yugo....yes, a Yugo, and I had no problems with it for 4 years. Did I mention it's a Yugo?
311k miles! God damn
If you go to his other channels he will tell you go Toyota when it comes to timing belts.
Got a 2003 with 173,000 miles everything mechanical is still working. All I have done is replaced a starter, rear passenger brake caliper, did the work myself and I’ve owned this bad boy for 5yrs now.
Thank you for teaching me and showing me everything. Your the dad I never had 😂
Absoulety THE BEST MECHANIC that has ever existed.
Party on Scotty! Your videos are so informative and to the point. Got my fuel pump issues figured out with your instructions - Turned out to be a bad fuel pump. I was able to replace it by removing the back seat and the FP access panel, unlike the Jaguar “(
My father taught me to retorque the head bolts on my cars every 75,000 miles. No one seems to mention this, why? I have never experienced a head gasket failure. 91 sidekick 184000,2006 4.7 dodge ram 155000,2010 kia 2.0 110000. You are the best.!
Scotty love all your videos this video saved me a lot of money on knowing to replace the fuel pump on my 93 caprice classic ls, thing runs like a dream again, been watching for years keep up the honest work. Cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
You're appreciated awesome go to source for honest knowledge about car repairs!
haha i like the part of "the idiots who designed the car"
AKA "engineers"
You crack me up. That umbrella is a great idea! I love that you talk loud enough and you do a good camera job very professional.
Scotty is always clutch.. My go to guy 💯
Greetings from The Bahamas Scottie,you're the greatest.
Damn, i may watch more of his vids and I don't have any car issues. Entertaining shit.
I subscribed not because I’m going to try to fix anything myself, but to enjoy your contagious good vibes and energy. Heck, I may even try to fix something...
Thanks for making that fun to watch as well!
I love your videos. Short and to the point on common problems
I had the same problem on my 07 civic after I replaced the stereo head unit. Called a mechanic, he came and looked at it and said it was the fuel pump, even though I told him I had started the car without problems prior to the head unit replacement. Found out it was a button under the dash that I had to press. It started immediately. Remember kids. Disconnect the battery before doing any electrical work on your car! :D
You are my goto guy, I had hard starting with 3.4l chevy and by your vids I came up with replacing the MAP sensor for $85 because simptoms matched the best. But still had to hold pedal down an inch to get started hot or cold with rich gas fumes/smoke when it finally started out the exaust pipe. So botom line it wasnt the problem, however evey othe car guy had a vid on the Fuel Pressure Regulator that matched my problem exact as when you removed the vacuum line to the Fuel Pressure Regulator gas would sputter out where the vacuume line was, mine sputterd the gas too, problem solved for the additional cost of $52 for the new Fuel Pressure Regulator. Please do a vid on this problem. Thank you for your videos, keep up the good work.
You truly are treat. Both informative and humorous. I appreciate your work.
"And when I went in the back seat and pulled it out."
That's literally what I heard him say when I came back to play the video after a break. 🤣
Many times a defective in-tank fuel pump can be replaced without removing it, by adding an external fuel pump. They are cheap and easy to install. If it can suck fuel through the dead pump, it will work.
Interesting….never thought of that 👍🏼
Love this guy lol wish there was one of him in every city around the world! this guy knows his stuff!
I like the way this man teaches. Thank you sir!!!
I always have a smile on my face while watching these
THANKS FOR THE INFORMATION SCOTTY...
The simple fact that I now know most fuel pumps are in the tank is huge. I didn’t know anything about cars until I subscribed here haha
Scotty , you are the man, I like your honesty and knowledge, Cheers.
So we learned 2 things today! How to check for a bad fuel pump, and not to buy a jaguar!
U2Jaime1317 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂
Customer: what’s wrong with it?
Scotty: It’s a Jaguar 😂
I had a jaguar once never again the car broke down almost everyday what a piece of crap it was although it was very stylish
A $250 fix. The 2010 Hyundai Sonata running good again. Wish I knew more about car mechanics. Thank you Scotty Kilmer. My 2002 Dodge Neon Sxt is still running good.
This guy is great. I have a fuel pump problem and his video confirmed it.
Thank you so much Scotty! And thank you for your service!
Thanks for the support!
Scotty Kilmer So I have a question: a few months ago my car would start to “hiccup” when i would come to a stop, my fuel economy started to run abnormally, and now i have a fuel smell coming into my car when i start it up. I did the one gallon of lacquer thinner and i ran it at 2500 rpm for a half hour. I have noticed a change but i was wondering if it could also be a bad fuel injector(s). My check engine line is still on. Should i give it a little more time to let the thinner do its thing or should i venture off to another idea? I may even have to take the converter out at one point to do the cleanup in solution. I appreciate it, i am Military and I don’t get paid an officer’s salary Ha! I am trying not to pay more for something that can be fixed in a simple way. Thanks!
How is it that you are so energetic and animated all the time? Looks exhausting. I do enjoy your videos though.
The absolute best of the best UA-cam content creators in regards to mechanics work
You're pretty dam honest,and you help put money in a friend's pocket, kudos sir...
Running car when there is gas in low reserve is the major cause of fuel pump dead
Wow.
@@DaveOzoalor :v
Thanks alot for that very useful piece of information. 🤙
More of a problem these days with all the detergents and junk that gets put in fuel. Once that stuff has accumulated anything in the tank the pump will suck that up and get ruined if you drive with low fuel
Did you know the fuel pump is in the fuel tank?
Who down for "Better Call Stall Scotty!!!!" Love your vids!
Thanks for the information, SCOTTY KILMER
Im a motorbike mechanic so i have no clue when it comes to car issuea.. as soon as i have any issues and see your listed first i feel safe cuz your vids are spot on😂
LMAO i clicked on the thumbnail thought it was ozzy osbourne lmao
TheAdonios now that would be entertaining
Lmao
I go back to re watch these videos just for the amazing intros 😂
Gosh Darn Scotty is the ABSOLUTE BEST!
The dude is Down Right AMAZING!
Scotty, you are the best Auto friend I have. Love you.
scotty is the man!
lol this guy is funny but he helped me figure out why my car wont start :/ i bought a lexus for 4,000 its been a headache for me lol
Best youtube mechanic know how channel! Thank you, Scotty!
this guy has never changed. amazing.
Lol Scotty Kilmer is so cool..
Rev up your Jag! Whait you can't 😅
this guy is something else... gives great advice on a whole shitpot full of vehicle related subjects.
Looks like my jag but mine ain’t dying yet, at least not the fuel pump. I love it when it’s all working and roars on road, and my heart sinks when it shows something wrong, new.
You are hilarious and you remind me of my Mechanic. Guys like you generate so much an interest in me to know all can know about cars, because it is a wonderful mind tool to have, and you guys make it look rather simple compared to what the dealer tries to scam all of us for........$961 for a Valve Cover Gasket replacement.......HA yeah right...goodluck Nissan.

step 1
Make sure there is fuel in the car.....
Im just saying, Ive seen it before....
Papakap22 Don't use a match to check though. That's been done too
Ever had to take a fuel tank down full of gas?
As painful as it sounds a full tank is safer than an empty-ish tank because it has less fuel vapor (the stuff that goes boom). I also use brass tools when removing the pump to avoid sparks.
Man. this is a great channel 👍
Dudes a Legend. Simply put. And that outro was 👍🏻 great
Don't buy a Jag!
Mark Hurley as Scotty himself would say.... "Get a Toyota!"
virusboy07 he's not wrong you know...
ISIS drives Toyota.
David unfortunately they smart
Mark Hurley That's not a Jag, it's a Ford Contour, true story. Look it up
I was complaining about my Ram and dropping the tank but this made me feel better!
Scotty, I think your amazing! You deliver your advice with such a great energy and enthusiasm of your knowledge! Had to get that in there first. I do need some help though, my son has a 2007 Chevy HHR with a bad fuel pump. I ran across your reviews on other vehicles while trying to get information on his (which by the way I still haven't come across). Do you have any insight you could pass on so we can fix it ourselves, as money is an issue lately. His wife is very ill in the hospital. Thanks! And again, your amazing!
haha Nice video ending, brother.
I miss the old Scotty Kilmer were he actually shows us how to fix our vehicals
I’ve never subscribed to a channel so fast!!! Awesome video! Hilarious 😂
I wonder what the dolphin and Scotty talked about must of been interesting. Love you Scoot. Dont ever you stop teaching us the ways vehicles are repaired. Good day too you sir
Thanks for that. Don't buy a Jaguar, hot diggerty! Advice noted. Gp
The Volkswagen Touareg v10 Diesel is even worse. In order to replace the alternator you have to fully drop the front subframe. Yep, the motor,transmission, and subframe have to be removed to replace it.
That touareg is not a car you want to own outside of warranty
Good advice! Every time I pass one I say to myself, "poor stupid sucker."
_ Skylake _ n
lol
Scotty klimer !!! I have changed power steering rack of toyota gli .. bt still when i turn steeing rapidly back and forth it produce some sort of clunk
How did you test if the fuel pump was grounded and getting 12v feed ?
Er...the lead that comes off it!!!!!
I just had my fuel pump replaced in my VX 3.8L V6 holden commodore...2000 model, series 1 with nearly 273 000km.
Can't complain with that, good ole aussie car
that's very instructive and so funny as well ! Scotty has a great sense of humor !!!makes me laugh so much !!!
