      We can thank bureaucratic government agencies, the WEF, and a bunch of central bankers for driving everything at automotive manufacturers absolutely bonkers (massive increase in complexity, technology changing constantly, computers doing almost everything, fuel economy agenda so strict that stupid measures are taken to get it). Back in the 80's and 90's things changed so much more slowly and mechanics could keep on top of it.

    This is my second time watching this episode. Still learning… As a teenager I should’ve gone to a tech academy. Now at age 56 I am learning so much! Being a female, I figured I’d marry a mechanic of sorts. Nope. My hubby is not mechanically inclined. So, it’s my son and I. He watches and learns online and I am the bank to use for parts. Because of you, we are in such better shape financially. Thank You for taking time out of your life to help middle class people learn how to survive in this expensive world. You are appreciated beyond adequate words for your advice and honesty. Sincerely, Lisa, Jimmy and my hubby who shall remain nameless for obvious reasons (like lack of mechanical skills and embarrassment for that reason and forgetting to check the oil often enough and other important fluids).

      Lack of mechanical skills is not necessarily an embarrassment. Some people have other things on their mind that keeps their full attention. The myriad details of auto maintenance takes energy away from things that are more important to some people. It's like great writers who can't spell or have poor grammatical skills. They leave all simple, basic ,details to their secretary. Hemingway(as many writers do) left spelling and grammar for his secretary to deal with. Cleaning airflow sensors is equivalent to correcting misspelling or improper grammar.

    Scotty, you're ALWAYS my life saver when it comes to trusted information that no other mechanic can give me. I was gifted a 2010 Scion xb. Previous owner was a female college student. Car had 205k miles on it. Discovered the following- no tune up, or regular maintenance was ever done on the car. Car shortly had a code for the torque converter. Took Scotty's advice for the Lucus trans fix while also doing a trans service on the car. Holy moly does the Lucus Trans fix work. Transmission loved having the very black fluid removed and the mucky magnet cleaned up too. Now time to clean up the injectors and the engine. This car is losing a quart of oil every week. Fingers crossed 🤞 these additives work to save me from losing oil and gas mileage.

      its a daihatsu-for-toyota/scion product- they use magnets in all their transmissions. i would recommended a can of restore before you resort to re-ringing the engine. some lucas UCL will clean the injectors- no tools needed. as long as that car wasn't abused- it will recover nicely. daihatsu makes some of the best motors in the world- thats why toyota bought them....

    Hi Scotty, I have been watching your videos for years but only recently subscribed. I don't have a mechanical bone in my body but I find find your videos to be fascinating and incredibly informative. I now have a practical reason for following your program. I have a 2015 Hyundai Tucson that completely loses power in 30 C plus weather and under high acceleration. it also emits a rotten egg smell under those conditions. Despite repeated attempts at diagnoses, no mechanic has been able to pinpoint the problem.
