    Can’t thank you enough for the list of items I can methodically go through and check just as you did. You explain it in such a fashion along with brilliant video cut aways, close-ups that allow me to follow you without any confusión. You’re clearly a fantastic communicator on this channel. I’ll continue to follow you as I want to take care of my overpriced car. Cheers dude!

    Try changing Cabin Filter if you have rough idle issues when turning On AC. I have a 230K mileage lexus is250 that has a P0113 misfire and rough idles on R/D/AC On. Saw a video and manually cleaned carbon buildup on valves > cleaned fuel injector > cleaned spark plugs, throttle body and replaced engine and cabin filter. Now my car runs like Brand New! Thanks!

    Wow! You are an awesome teacher. Thank you so much for the great information. We were dealing with a crank no start on my 2008 Toyota 4Runner 4.7 v8 sport edition for 6 grewling months. It was so disheartening. I watched so many videos to help my 62 year old hubby. Don't get me wrong he is a great mechanic. But, hes old school used to dealing with a carburator and no obd2 computer. Trust me, i made him absolutly nuts. Been married for 23 years but, having his wife second guess him was not good for his confidence and for that i am sorry. It's just that my father was dying and we are not well off. I made the mistake of buying the car with 232000 miles on it and not making sure things were maintained like he said they were. Getting older his memory was starting to wither. We or he replaced the bathery, checked the fuses and the 3 relays for the fuel pump, chsnged the gas cap. Cleaned the maf sensor, cleaned the trottle body unnecessary changed the crankshaft position sensor and he dropped the tank cleaned out the tank, changed the fuel filter and found out the fuel pump was ok, changed the spark plugs and still nothing. When my father passed away he left me some money, wait i forgot to add the ignition switch assembly with a set of keys to reprogram. Alot of money, alot and hope was gone. Had 2 codes po113 and po102. Check engine light and a couple others. The toyota dealership quoted me a price of 3500 to drop the tank clean it change the fuel pump assembly eventhough it doesnt say that on the service receipt nor at Toyotas main headquarters where it shows your service done. The installed the ignition switch i bought reprogramed the keys and after about 3 days finnally called me. The wierd thing is the diagnostic info had everything as a pass but the tires which i replaced and they said a " vacume leak that was no big deal and that the catalytic converter was rusty and needed to be reported but no big deal. They initially told me they could fix it in a couple days they were waiying for " the sucky thing for the fuel pump. And an o ring it would be available sometime next week. They wouldnt answer my questions when i asked them what parts were they waiting for? I said the fuel swnding uniti and the o ring. She never responded. I know its supposed to be a complete unit replaced. Meanwhile since she never would answer the phone or my text i called toyota. Of course they heard about it and sent me sn kinda nasty email i ignored it. Then on sunday the car was ready. Three days later. Even though they were waiting on parts to arrive in about a week. I cant help but feel scammed. They didnt even take the price of the diagnostic off the price they added it. Told me 1700 to drop the tank and replace the fuel filter was rhat much. To replace the ignition switch went from 1700 but since i had the part from florida at another dealership the took that down to 800. Then 189 for the fuel injectors cleaned and the butterfly thing cleaned. Sorry i forgot the name because i know nothing about cars, i just watched videos over and over. Throttle body. Thats it. Clean the throttle body for 199. All equaling 3600. I couldnt figure out how she did her math. Trust me i asked. Hense my call to Toyota headquarters. I Just wanted my car fixed nowcheck engine light back on with vsc off and squiggly line light. Im thinking cat. My question to you is how do you feel about catclean. I'd rather things and then I read bad things and I know nothing. Sorry it was so long. You seem like an honest gentleman that really calmed me. So much good info. I really live the suv. But, im so afraid they put little bobby traps in there and little by little i will pay again for calling toyota. I hope we dont need a new cat. We are now getting the dreaded po420 code. The car was light free then when my father passed away he drove from Louisiana to florida. Lights came on. I read somewhere that cats need to be warmed up to read properly and the fact they were about 600 miles warmed up that it was that. The cat is the reason for the check engine the vsc off and the sqiggles. I will never go back to that Toyota dealership ever again. I think its a shame because they lost someone that could have been a lifetime customer. It also makes me sad that human being could treat each other with such distain and in this world of technology , lack of morality, lack of the golden rule teachings and the religion of be good in your heart thats all that matters is gone. Texting a customer is apauling and shifty. Have the guts to use your voice before we lose sight of this beautiful world where life is so precious and short. I am 57 my dad was only 82. But , i still felt 12 around him. He knew how to do everything. I will forever be changed by his loss. People like you are one in a million. The way you teach is inspiring. Thank you.

    Great video. I seen a guy clean his IAC with it still mounted. He removed the tube where it vents into the crankcase. While plugging the hole where the tube was attached with his finger he sprayed carb cleaner down through the throttle body into the IAC until it started to break up the carbon buildup. You can also tear the whole throttle body off and remove the IAC but, if you don't have to why? Thanks again.

  • @paulcristian2568
    @paulcristian2568 2 роки тому +4

    thanks Josh, this is the video i've been searching for years, as i was researching i probably found many of the causes separetly but never a good well rounded explanation with examples like yours.
    about the electronic throtle body, never knew you cant move it fortunately mine didnt breake when i held it open with my fingers and cleaned with wet wipes, it cleaned out nicely and the issue is gone, the idle is much better now as befor it used to go up and down a lot with the hot engine never after a cold start with the check engine ligth and the code for barometric pressure in the intake manifold.
    still got a little bit of vibration/shakiness gonna have to check some things from your list if not it might be from the torque converter as i understand it can also cause vibration and shaking
    i have a 3.2 fsi a6 c6

    I have a 2008 Audi A6, 3.2 Quattro. I have been receiving misfire codes for some coils, I replaced all plugs and coils-still continuing to get a misfire code for my #2 cylinder. I get an ESP light, ABS light, and check enginie light after getting to 3,000-3,500 RPMs-then my car shakes. Any help please!
    My mechanic is stumped.
