    The more I read and watch videos about fuel injection testing and repair the more I appreciate my collector cars and motorcycles with carburetors as I never had to Google anything to repair them the last fifty years. Just learning about code readers and how to diagnose fuel injection is harder and more involved than any repairs needed on my old cars and motorcycles.

    around 2:24 you say that it could be a problem with the way the fuel system is detecting or the way it's working. I suppose that means the way the O2 sensor is either Reading, or Sending info, (not sure which, please clarify), or the way the fuel sys. is working, like maybe clogged fuel injectors ?
    Any clarification about these points would be helpful.

      Real mechanics can easily see the misleading mistakes. If he called that thing he's using a code reader, the dislikes may have been lower. OBD2 started in 1996, not 1986 as stated. Some may have bought a code reader, only to find it didn't work on their 1986-1994 vehicles.

    Awesome Video Ben,
    I've been learning about Code readers at first, then 3 hours latter, I learned about CAN or CAN bus, but I'm pretty smart now about the whole OBD2 scanners. What I don't know, even though I know that cars/trucks are CAN BUS OBD2 if they were manufactured after 2008. We have a few cars in our family. I would like to get one, especially if we're going out and blowing $1000 on a truck, like we did yesterday, and drive it 2 hours to get home, to find out that it has problems. I have learned a lot, but even after 3 hours of research and learning, I still have questions. Maybe you can help.
    Q1. Will a CAN or CAN BUS OBD2 Scanner work with cars older than 2003?
    Q2. Do I buy a nice OBD2 Scanner, or a CAN OBD2 Scanner?
    Q3. What's the difference between one that does ABS and a regular OBD2 Scanner?

    I have a 2000 lincoln towncar that was having a smell of gas from the exhaust a year ago. both the right and left bank converters had been replaced and then had to have the right bank replaced again. The service manager and mechanic didn't even use the obd-2 to scan the engine and just looked for leaks. I feel like I had a dirty or defective map sensor and still get some hesitation and odor of gas occasionally. I would like a recommendation for a good obd-2 scanner for a car this model.

      plant-lover "for a car this model" That's not how it works. Go to the store, and read the box. Do some research. Read some reviews. Professional mechanics use simple OBD2 scanners, as well as more complicated scanners. It depends on what you're willing to spend and what works for you. Do you need a 2000 dollar scanner that has a lot of info that you might not need or be able to understand? Or a more simple 100 to 300 dollar scanner that most people get?

      +Braden Giacobazzi My question exactly - thanks. If you have a code that takes more than one drive cycle to post, you know when the monitors are no longer incomplete, and you can go for inspection, as long as you don't turn the car off. The codes will be in a "pending" state, and won't flip on the SES light until you leave the inspection station. Thanks again... going for my 20 mile drive of highway/city, than while the car is running, going to check for sure if all the monitors are up.
