CRC makes the best brake cleaner too..Brake-Kleen
CRC is Made In New Zealand. and we Highly Recommend it here and Australians Love it also !
Not sure what to do Scotty I have a 2020 Pacifica hybrid with about 7000 miles only 3000 of them are with the engine but it’s a year old and I need to change the oil. I’m scared to death to take it to a Chrysler dealership do you blame me?
I use that same CRC cleaner to clean electronic circuit boards and connectors in all kinds of equipment.
Hey Scotty! I have a Honda Accord 2001 Ex. It shows check engine code P0505. Ive taken it to several mechanics who made me change the Idle air control 3 times! None have worked. What do you recommend.
I can't believe how diligent Scotty is, after so many years at making great automotive content. That's what I call passion.
Passion and integrity for sure
Now that was impressive work, I had a similar OBD port on my Ford Probe although never had to use it.
Once you’ve got millions of subscribers a UA-cam channel is extremely lucrative. I don’t know about you but money is a passion creator for me.
@@sweetdrahthaar7951 not so much, but it doesn't explain why Scotty prefers one make over another except it being the truth.
@@rob5944 Sounds like there’s good reasons for Scotty saying if it’s not a Toyota or Lexus don’t buy it. I think it’s a huge mistake for Toyota to quit building full-size pickups with a V-8. Toyota generally reads their market well but that decision considering the problems with the TwinTurbo Ford V6’s is not very smart.
That cleaner worked amazing on my power seat switches too! Stealership wanted to replace the whole seats lol
stealership! HA!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Love that stealership
Great reminder Scotty - always start with the simple things first!
I bought a pathfinder once. The dealer wanted $3500 for it. I tested it and it acted like it need new injectors. I asked him if he had any work done on it and he said he just had the whole lower unit done. I told him I would give him 1500 because I would most likely have to buy injectors for it and put them in. I got home and was messing around with it and checking the injectors. My hand was on a wire loom that went to the injectors and it started running smooth as silk. Whoever did the work on it didn’t connect the loom all the way. So I cleaned the connections, reconnected it and drove that car for five years before I traded it in for a new truck.
@Rusty Highlander This was a Nissan Pathfinder. I would love to find a Toyota for 1500 to!
Scotty is a mechanical Mole! 🐭 Nothing gets past him.
Love the channel.
"This youtube channel totally destroyed my truck!"
@@tolpacourt How did it? Please explain.
Scotty is 68% way off from 💯
@@scottsmith6571 😦
@@Hogglife87 only stating facts as scotty doesnt
Mr. Kilmer is right about using manual transmissions with diesels. I always had sporty fast cars but got my first diesel and while it isn't fast, it is fast enough and gets ridiculous mpg.
That wire trick was genius Scotty! Genius! 💕👍
You have saved me so much money, most places here in Indiana they see a woman in the shop alone they sure do try to get you. I pull up your videos! 😂🤣 Thank You
Been using that cleaner for years. Glad to see the lord Scotty approves. 😄
robo dave...it's not LORD ..IT'S SIR SCOTTY🤺 ..he's been knighted by the Queen of England..Haha!
The paper clip & count trick. I remember doing that on my '85 Monte Carlo, back in the days when everything was much simpler.
You’re a genius Scotty!
Excellent battery connection tip
I used that cleaner on my 94 Celica with the "Moses Stick" on my accelerator and the seat and opened my throttle body up. Cleaned it real good and now it runs like new car.
Moses stick 😂🤣❤❤❤
Careful thats a very powerful stick
@@robertbennett2796 True! LOL
CRC electronics cleaner works magic! It's my first option with any electrical problem. Ive solved radio volume control, power window, even 'broken' flashlight issues with a two second spray.
Love this guy, he’s a machine with his knowledge of engines
u r an asset in mechanic world..may u live long..
I had a car running rough t idle. I looked at the throttle body and it was dirty. not a lot, in fact to me it looked like it was insignificant amount of carbon, but i cleaned it anyway since i had it opened up. Lo and behold! What difference! I just could not believe how little crud could cause so much trouble. I mean we are basically talking stains not thick build up.
Live and learn!
I'm glad you put this up, Scotty. The electrical connections on everything from the headlights to the tranny need cleaned on a truck I recently bought. It runs okay, but prevention is ten times better than regret on a cold dark road at night.
I knew to do it, but never thought of it when I was messing with things on it. Now it's front and center on the "to do" list. 👍
"I can't believe what this channel did for my car!"
Because of Scotty, I ONLY buy Toyota/Lexus and hate GM/Chrysler products 😂
Pin it scotty. Pin it 📍
@@beezlebub7847 you can get good cars that aren't Toyota. But if you don't know much about cars Toyota's are pretty good.
@@dragospahontu I’ve had other cars, several Chevys, a Dodge and a Jeep. NOW I drive a Toyota Avalon and it’s the most reliable car I ever owned
@@beezlebub7847 Well I mean we all know Chrysler products are never the most reliable 😅
Old School ways usually work best. A young mechanic probably would have no idea what to do with this.
Where l worked yrs ago
We had 5 apprentices,
one was very good 2.were ok and the other 2 , smashed up customers cars mainly on road tests .
That cleaner you used is GOLD . I never leave home without it. Fixed so many electrical things I can't count.
I use that same cleaner on a daily basis in repairing 40+ year-old audio gear. It does a heck of a job.
I like how Scotty ''walks his talk'' he has a Toyota Celica, a Toyota Matrix, his wife's Lexus, and also his son has the black Tacoma and Sienna in the background. His Family must be Toyota's best customers. I hope they send him the NEW TUNDRA as soon as it is release so he can give us his thoughts on it. 🤓
not best customer as he never buys new :)
best spokesman though...
@@alaind831 You're wrong bro! He did buy them, very cheap, but he still paid out of his pocket 😉
...and Scotty will hopefully soon be restoring that first-time-in-US generation Honda.
@@HappyCarReviews
Buying a used car from a guy using money from your pocket doesn't translate to Toyota customer. Toyota made no money in the transaction. When was the last time a mechanic squirted spray cleaner on your logic sensors?
I remember using a paperclip to check the codes on my mom's 82 Buick skylark, V-6. The connector was under the steering column. Took it to tech school and could do burnouts with it after tuning it to spec. Ran amazingly. Loved seeing that again. Scotty, your the best!
Great channel!
Scotty your a savage love seeing these old school tricks you will not find these awesome tricks out with the new techs your knowledge is gold my friend thank you scotty.....
I'm pretty sure I saw this thing on Craigslist a few days ago at an importer in Manchester NH
"They aren't even keep up with traffic trucks" hahahah good line Scotty 😂
But when traffic stops, they off road like a beast.
Thank you Scotty another good job!
For this sort of thing I like to use CRC 2-26 cleaner and lubricant as it leaves a thin film of oil to prevent/reduce oxidation.
Even plain old Vaseline works well or some high temperature white lithium grease!!!😁👍🏻
Another great video in a series of many. Great job, Scotty!
Had same prob. w/loose batt. connection. Car stalled in traffic, threw a code, "low voltage to MAF sensor," among others. Back in the day, I drove LTD's, Thunderbirds & Grand Marquis's ( all rearwheel drive) year round in N.E. In the winter, I put studded snow tires on & 4 50lb. buckets of sand in trunk. I never, ever, got stuck even once. Listen to Scotty! 😲
Yoo scotty remember me ? Your numeber one fan ! 👌🏼‼️
hello and yes!
Next week Scotty will have a video "Only idiots hammer on a battery"
Great video, Scotty!
Great tips as usual! Always check the ground:)
Rare to see something slower than my tiny Toyota Aygo. Was good laugh. Reliable cars though.
Why you have a Lada userpic lol
They were not built for speed. They are like a goat
@@koghs I've driven Lada's most of my life. Most reliable cars on the planet but for obvious comfort reasons I've since moved onto other cars.
Great video Scotty. Thanks!
I'm pretty new to your channel, but really enjoying it. Keep up the good work.
Love this Chanel , great information, great presentation.
Your video on the Honda Element for the solenoid problem really came in handy today but my engine light still won't go off and the solenoid that I took off didn't really look clogged but the car runs better now
You helped me with my AC cause I did what u said and on 72 it’s cold as hell Thank You 🙏🏻 God Bless Buddy Too you and you’re Family also Stay Safe !!! Have a good day and Take care
Hell isnt cold at all
Trust me it’s cold and I don’t even have it on low or in the 60’s trust me from not having it since last year this is cold and it just needed refrigerant and better than having a guy take $70-$80 bucks for something I could do I work on cars too my farther was a really good Mechanic he even built his own race car I have pictures but him and my Mother passed away 8 Months apart so on some stuff I second guess myself but I watch Scotty when I think I can’t do it and I fix whatever is wrong
I liked you 10 gauge wire fix on the battery terminal, 8 years ago I had a 02 Corolla with a loose terminal just stuck in a galvanized screw and it worked great haha.
We don't know if it was cleaning the electrical connectors or getting a better battery connection. Mr. Kilmer should have done the most likely fix first and then tested it before doing the other fix so we know what is to blame.
Thank You Scotty you are a great mechanic.
There should be a Scotty Kilmer in every town in America.
I've learned alot watching your channel.
There is, finding one is the trick.
I ❤ watching Scotty's channel. Learn so much!!!
On Toyota's or at least the 4runners I've worked on 4 I have found if you take the plastic out of the battery cable it gets a lot better connection the plastic cover is usually broke off anyways I'll do it even if it's running good so it doesn't leave someone along the road
Dr. Scotty thank you!
For that battery connect issue, I have cut a copper pipe and made small piece to insert like you did with the wire. Worked perfectly
The best !!! Blessings Scotty !
Hey Scotty, I drive a dry wall screw or any screw between the battery post and the terminal. Your electric wire idea is a lot better. Great video,. thank you.
BONG DOW!!! KITTY
Curl a copper shim (or 2) around the battery post for full contact area.
NEVER USE A HAMMER ON A BATTERY!
Crimp the right sized connector onto the battery leads if the correct sized terminal batteries are not available.
In cold weather they need BOTH batteries to give their best for reliable starting...
Great job Scotty!! Bravo!!
Thank you for the video
Wowsers what a sweet ride.. enjoy dude.
Always lube connectors after you clean. Use dielectric grease and do the pins and the seals. Prevents corrosion and makes them easier to pull back apart if you need to.
Thanks so much for the great videos! Quick question, would CLR work on electrical connectors for removing corrosion?
Hey Scotty, much respect for crawling around on the ground. Using jack and stands, just like a regular guy / gal.
In my experience garages always want to replace parts at the first sign of a fault code. Always worth checking connections, seals and joints as best you are able before going ahead with expensive part replacements. Just remember to reset you fault codes after the clean (disconnecting the battery will do this on most cars).
My old 1987 Suburban does the flashing check engine light codes. Still have a booklet that tells what each means. A darned good system for it's time.
Cleaned a MAF sensor with the CRC Electronics Cleaner yesterday. No residue and works well.
would be good to see if there is a different composition as MAF cleaner is 2x the price (and you can use the E cleaning for so many other things...)
This is why Scotty Rules! 👑👑👍👍
New Zealand has lot of those old hiluxs rolling around
Scotty it would be awesome if you rev counter in your intro went up to 20 thousand rpm.
Good old vechicles take you where you wanted to go in all weather's and all terrains.
Love your vids scotty!
Brilliant,, thank you so much
Around 6:30 you check the battery, enter 575 CCA which is the label rating, and the tester says 1008 CCA. Then you check the second battery. You're seeing 1008CCA because the batteries are wired in parallel. Each battery is averaging 504CCA.
Evening Scotty ‼️‼️
evening!
Good stuff Scotty 👍👍👍
ive done that battery trick with a copper penny. bent it with two vice grips to the right curve. worked just as well and i think would last a lot longer.
learned the two wire trick back in theearly 90s. Worked for almost anything.
I absolutely love your videos, they are price to me.
hello and thank you!
That was suppose to say priceless. Voice to text is crap! 😂
It might be slow as snail, but it can go on roads as a daily work horse that very few vehicles can go on.
The resistors go in the fuel pump for turbo just make one yourself easy fix. Plenty of parts in Australia for these same engines as the 3L model 2.8diesel.
I have two cars with diesel engines, a Hyundai i30 and a Volvo XC60 D4 2017 AWD, and I love them...
My ‘72 Mustang with a 351-2bbl was helpless in the rain. I tossed the bias-ply tires for Cooper radials and that helped, but in the snow, I had to use chains on it or it just sat there and spun.
Thank you Scotty ☺️
I don’t know why I keep watching except I’m learning a lot and he’s fun to watch.
Excellent video
Great content Scotty its funny I went to Lincoln Tech and you remind me of one of my instructors 😂😂wow was that technically tiptronic on that truck lol👍🏾✌🏾
Love Scotty's videos. Also love that it always sounds like Happy Hour.
Love my Tacos but wouldn’t want that one!! As always great advice and video Scotty!! Have a fantastic day
I Can't Believe How Your Videos Never Go Where I Expect.
Scotty will always be the best!
Scott is always the best.
Your a genius, Scotty.
That stuff helped me fix my pcm after a deep freeze!!!!
SCOTTYS a Genius..My Hero
everyone local that has that toyota, all love them. mostly for off road. modded to no end, mostly lifted with huge tires. many of them not street legal any more, just for off road hunting trucks.
Yup, I clean all my connections with CRC and then put a small squirt of Deoxit D5 on it.😊
Hey Scotty, I found a great product that removes electrical corrosion especially on a Honda 600 ;-) Napa sells this, it's Aluminum Brightener, it's a mild phosphoric acid and of course you will want to neutralize afterwards and I like Windex for that and for folks without an air compressor, Air Duster works well for drying off the contacts. .
My uncle always used crc products. Good stuff.
I have been watching Scotty for a while now & surprised you didn't use a battery cable end spreader on the Negative Cable instead of hammering on the Battery Terminal.
Hi Scotty. I'm a worker at OReilly auto parts, and get tons of questions about cars every day. A great question I got was that their brakes were triggering the ABS and they couldn't stop. Please explain why.
CRC 2-26 is a great follow up spray to protect connections. Sometimes called an electrician in can.
I wish all mechanic would be like you
These Hi Lix diesels are extremely popular as “ Safari cars” as they are called in Africa.
They are used primarily on unimproved ( awful) bush roads. Still slow as a sloth, but very rugged, easy to fix and they don’t burn much fuel.
nice looking ln130.
the ecu capacitors commonly go bad in those and cause all sorts of drivability issues.
also the ecu codes for diesels is different to the petrol codes, it sounds like you where using the petrol codes.
Scotty you are the oracle, top class
This was an interesting video Scotty.
