Have a 2012 ford escape 4cly, evap purge valve went bad, replaced and after a few weeks the car is still having issues cranking up but check engine light not on at this point. Any Thoughts?
Hi Scotty, On my son’s 2015 Civic LX (manual transmission), the TPMS light came on and shortly after the engine light came on. He went to AutoZone to use the code reader and it showed no codes. He was told a battery issue may cause the problem but his battery tested strong. The voltage when the car was running was lower than normal so the AutoZone employee suggested the voltage regulator or alternator may be bad. What do you think?
Check Yelp and Angie's list, also word of mouth. There are trustworthy mechanics out there. But i totally understand, wish Scotty was my mechanic too.👍😎
In 1980 my college dorm roommate had a Chev. 305 V8 Nova he drove all the way from Florida to Tennessee. It was running rough & I took out the spark plugs one at a time noticed 2 were wet. We went to the local JUNKYARD (Chevrolet Dealer) and bought two wires, $7.00 for both. High energy ignitions hadn't been out long, replaced the two wires where the wet plugs were. Run perfect, remember he drove it all the way from FLA to TN Like that.
What's funny is he said to "trust only me". Every once in a while he says something that makes no damn sense. He's probably 90+% accurate though but always double check these know-it-all types.
That was one of the first things I learned when I first moved to the city, you can't trust ANYONE to give you an honest days work, so you better make sure you have a signed contract...
@@elultimo102 Hey. Get off my lawn. The newest car I remember is an orange 1970 Dodge Charger Dayton with a 426 hemi and a huge black rear wing. I was 11. 🙂
Honestly Scotty I had the same issue with my Miata. When changing my plug wires i couldn’t find anywhere with the correct firing order online but I eventually figured it out.
0:59 You've picked the wrong model year. That's a first generation pre-'97 MX-5/Miata (NA) which you can tell from the lights in the bumper, not a '99 which is second generation (NB). It's the 1.6L B6ZE engine.
That's just unbelievable that the information service you pay a subscription for couldn't even get the order for the plug wires correct!! Does everyone do things half-assed these days with no quality checks?
I don't recommend Bosch spark plug leads. I had a set on my first car, and you could see them arcing through the insulation in the dark. I do recommend NGK leads. Super high quality, and they're blue which looks cool.
Those old Miatas are like GOLD here in Southern Ontario, Canada. Even old 1995 models with no engine or transmission in them, are selling for $15,000 used.
Yeah the old ones are coming up in price. I had a 1990 for many years . It was the go-cart I never had . 1st thing I did was replace the timing belt . Its easy to get at .
Hi Scotty, I always enjoy your videos, keep on making them. What I see in this video is that you change the ignition sequence on second time back to where it was. Look it back on your video. So probably it was not the ignition sequence but maybe a contact problem of the connections.
You don't have to even care about the timing belt, until the NC/ND miata engines, all the other are non interference engines...when your timing belt breaks no bent valves and pistons...you just get stranded then put a new timing belt and off you go again.
My dad used to watch your videos when he tried to fix the cars at home. You saved him a lot of money. Now that your gone I feel like I need to watch your stuff as a way to make sure my car still runs
You can't always trust the decal on the hood either. Years back I hit a deer with my 2007 4.6 F150. The body shop sourced a hood from the wreckers and painted the outer surface to blend with the fenders, but left the underside. If you check the decal on my hood you'd think the truck was an '08 with a 5.4.
Hi Scotty! So happy to view a vid within minutes of you posting! Q-- could you do a vid on front and rear dash cams and if it is really worth getting one? I know dash cams are not a car issue per say but cars are so expensive to buy, maintain, and insure for the average person so any help protecting them would be so appreciated. Especially with all the crazy and aggressive drivers out there. After all "You can't trust anyone anymore". Pretty Please? Have a great day!
Could you do a video on what old brakes actually look like next to new ones, worn tires next to new ones, a dirty filter next o a clean on … or what it looks like when it should be changed? That would be so incredibly helpful. I love your channel!
Got it in one Scotty ... when fault finding the only thing worse than no information is wrong information, over 30 years working on photocopiers - printers I learnt that early on.
I'm not much of a mechanic but one thing I do know is to change the spark plug wires one at a time. A family up the road from us has a son about my age at the time. He pulled all the wires to change them and didn't know what went where. Luckily it was all downhill and he coasted down to our house. My Dad figured it out for him and saved his butt.
Thank you Scotty. This info was very useful. I have gotten wrong info on my '88 Jeep, as well. Thankfully, I had a mechanically inclined neighbor to help me figure it out. Don't know where you're living these days, but you're welcome to come to Montana or Idaho. We need a good mechanic out this way. Be well, fellow patriot.
Scotty your channel is one of the few that causes me to literally laugh out loud. My wife always asks me what’s so funny. Love your channel. “Unless you want a dead turd in the road” 😂🤣😅
@@justina249 yes but u can make that choice yourself. It's nice to have exploded views of something before u pull it apart to know how to pull it apart and what to expect
@@mishham6388 i have better luck watching UA-cam videos. Because I have to be shown hands on how to do something. I've just always been that way. I can read and look at pictures all day and never understand it
I once got a '62 Ford F-100 for $100 because the guy thought it had a major engine problem, and it turned out to be a nice factory remanufactured engine with the spark plug wires mixed up. Fixed those and it ran great for years.
Miata prices have been skyrocketing! that NA6 is probably worth at least $3k or more now! That is NOT a roll bar, it is a STYLE BAR, or as Miata guys know them MOUSE TRAPS! Get rid of them!!!
When he started that up I thought that one of those Fast & the Furious super fans owned that and had successfully destroyed it, like every car they get their hands on. I thought it was going to need a rebuild. I'm not really a Miata fan but I have to admit that Mazda knew what they were doing when they built them.
They sure did. Built very well. Mine has been extremely reliable (27 years old). The cooling system worked fine but hadn't been cared for, so it needed a new thermostat housing and things while I did the hoses and radiator, but that was caused by poor maintenance not bad quality parts. Aside from a few things (oil filter placement...) they're great to work on. Credit to Mazda for sure.
Almost Any car from the 90's and older is. That was before the advent of modern chassis rust coatings. I had the same generation 1993 Miata and there wasn't a square inch of rust on the entire car. All depends on where you're from and how you take care of your car.
The first plug wire order you pulled up was for a 1.8 liter engine ('94-97 NA Miatas), but your care is a 1.6L, which has the coil on the other side and the reverse plug wire order. The first diagram was right, but for the wrong engine.
For evap system, check that the gascap is on correctly, put a borescope in the tank to see if the neck going from gasscap to gasstank doesn't have holes in it. Also overfilling the tank can ruin the evap filter.
Get rid of that style bar it will kill you. put a proper roll bar in. Also NA Miatas are not cheap anymore, although one that looks like that might be.
That “roll bar” can do more damage than good. In rollover accidents, they have been known to fold forward, pinning the driver. They are known as “mousetraps” in the Miata community, and they can be dangerous.
As he pointed out, cheap no name sparkplug wires. Maybe do a resistance test and continuity check with a DMM on each cheap wire. Cheap wires, cheap insulation. I remember watching a light show under the hood at night, with high voltage secondary and mini lightning storm, cross firing.
On the Sonata... tell them to stop over filling the gas tank. When it clicks off, thats it. Don't keep going. I've got the same car, did the same stupid thing...
Hey Scotty. Get rid of that chrome style bar. It doesn’t provide any roll over protection. In fact, it will pivot forward and give you a smart whack on the back of your coconut if you roll the car.
you are right. I used to work for an English company who made roll bars and cages and any type must be mounted on the chassis, and have a diagonal member to stop them collapsing sideways, and backstays to stop them collapsing forwards or backwards. I have seen many race cars that had cheap cages in, flat as a pancake and no driver around to talk to either.
those chrome "roll bars" are death traps.. they do no protect you in a roll over. also that wiring diagram was for a 1.8 variant of the miata engine I believe. could be wrong.
Another possibility is like when I go to different junkyards and sometimes find a body panel in the same color as the car I’m putting it on. That hood night be a different year. I’m sure Scotty checked the door jamb area too, though.
I'm surprised the car started at all. Everytime I mis wire a 4 banger it makes death noises. Perhaps on a V8 or V12 you may not even notice a miswired ignition.
I always wanted a Miata as a toy car to run around in; reliable, fun, good on gas and drop top. The "S edition" of the early 2000's caught my eye. What year model did Mazda switch over to a timing chain? Once I sell the old 70's Plymouth I have now, I may get one of those. Plymouth parts are expensive if you can find them and many repair shops have no clue how to fix old cars correctly.
That Miata reminds me of the 75' Aspen SW that my wife bought for fifty dollars. The plug wire were not on the right plugs, so I fixed that. It still didn't run right and had a noise under the left bank valve cover. When I opened it up, I discovered a loose and broken rocker shaft. I replace the rocker shaft and she put over a hundred thousand mile on it after that.

The moral of the story is to replace one sparkplug wire at a time!
or number them with tape
You always do it that way even if you have a new ignition coil or dizzy. Take one wire off and connect to the new part one at a time!
In 1980 my college dorm roommate had a Chev. 305 V8 Nova he drove all the way from Florida to Tennessee. It was running rough & I took out the spark plugs one at a time noticed 2 were wet.

Incorrect. Your first diagram said it was for a 1.8L engine. That’s a 1.6L and the plug order is different.
Correct. Wrong generation of Miata/MX5 as is obvious from the bumper lights.
Also the 1.8 has letters that pop out on the valve cover where the 1.6 has recessed lettering. Shame Kilmer, shame….

I used to diagram the plug wires before doing any work. My current car doesn't have any. Each plug has a separate coil with dedicated wiring harness.
"There's nothing worse than being fooled by a data system.". With a picture of truth!

On the Sonata... tell them to stop over filling the gas tank. When it clicks off, thats it. Don't keep going. I've got the same car, did the same stupid thing...
It looks like someone has been chewing the steering wheel
Hey Scotty. Get rid of that chrome style bar. It doesn’t provide any roll over protection. In fact, it will pivot forward and give you a smart whack on the back of your coconut if you roll the car.
you are right. I used to work for an English company who made roll bars and cages and any type must be mounted on the chassis, and have a diagonal member to stop them collapsing sideways, and backstays to stop them collapsing forwards or backwards. I have seen many race cars that had cheap cages in, flat as a pancake and no driver around to talk to either.
You can't trust anyone. Scotty is anyone, so you can't trust Scotty.
those chrome "roll bars" are death traps.. they do no protect you in a roll over. also that wiring diagram was for a 1.8 variant of the miata engine I believe. could be wrong.
All data is correct. Scotty was the problem. He out in 1999 model look at :57
How can u tell?
Sounds super smooth sounds like a little turbocharged one cylinder, just excellent!

Another possibility is like when I go to different junkyards and sometimes find a body panel in the same color as the car I’m putting it on. That hood night be a different year. I’m sure Scotty checked the door jamb area too, though.
3:15 had me dying😂
My daughter and her friend loved tooling around in the Miata.
I'm surprised the car started at all. Everytime I mis wire a 4 banger it makes death noises. Perhaps on a V8 or V12 you may not even notice a miswired ignition.
I always laugh when i watch Scotty flashing pictures.
The Florida pool pump motor bearing repair guy approved ! that was good info Scotty
It’s a Miata. That’s as probably as good as the engine’s ever going to sound.
Ha Ha...........envy.
That’s why I prefer the OEM service manual that the dealerships have for their mechanics over any third party service manual!
I heard they not cheap anymore
I always wanted a Miata as a toy car to run around in; reliable, fun, good on gas and drop top. The "S edition" of the early 2000's caught my eye. What year model did Mazda switch over to a timing chain? Once I sell the old 70's Plymouth I have now, I may get one of those. Plymouth parts are expensive if you can find them and many repair shops have no clue how to fix old cars correctly.
It sounds like a busted sewing machine even after the plug wires were hooked up correctly
That Miata reminds me of the 75' Aspen SW that my wife bought for fifty dollars. The plug wire were not on the right plugs, so I fixed that. It still didn't run right and had a noise under the left bank valve cover. When I opened it up, I discovered a loose and broken rocker shaft. I replace the rocker shaft and she put over a hundred thousand mile on it after that.
