Lesson learned, keep a spare car in the trunk xD
Thats what smarts are for
Beat me to it
LOL LOL LOL LOL LOL!!!!!
My sides are in orbit from this comment.

best comment LMAO!
FIREFISTLUFFY With spare parts, don’t forget.
Trunk opens
REV UP YOUR ENGINES!!
😂😂😂
I'm about to start a new type of Sunday Video, they will be featuring YOUR cool cars, for more info visit my Instagram: instagram.com/scotty_the_mechanic/
Scotty Kilmer - Awesom, you are truly the KING of car help for the world. Thank Scotty Kilmer
what do you do if your ahole neighbor puts water in your gas tank?
romance their wife while your stuck home and their out at work.
Hahahahaha!!! Fill her up dude!!!!
I THUMBS DOWN, WHY WOULD YOU KICK HIS DOG. YOU HAVE NO CHILL.
Scotty is the only youtube mechanic who explains it really really well .. I hope he stays forever... watched his videos since 2008
*Since 2008? DAMN.*
_You really are a die hard fan, huh…_
Thank you so much!!!! It was a fuse and pepboys was going to charge me $740 to replace my fuel pump, Glad I watched your video, My van is safe at home now :~)
I just keep a spare engine in my glove box in case something happens, then you just swap it out and go!
OH DONALD well then where do you keep the spare transmission?
OH DONALD
I like to keep 4 spar tires in the engine bay incase all my tires go flat.
Yup, it only takes 2 minutes to replace an engine.
OH DONALD where do you put the hoist?
Pavel Paškevič instant engine change
Never too old to learn something new, Thanks Scotty this video could be a lifesaver for many viewers.
Funny he posted this video today in the morning my car actually died on the road lol you read my mind Scotty your videos are really helpful and quick to the point keep it up
Just want to share some of my experiences:
1) One time my Nissan died on the road... drove my mechanic nuts trying to figure out why it died and wouldn't restart... we even changed out the fuel pump motor.... eventually he found out that there was a small piece of debris right on the MAF sensor wire.
2) In another incident my Kia Rio kept dying on the road intermittently... my mechanic traced it to a clogged air filter.
3) A faulty ECU can also cause stalling... the dealer was able to diagnose this correctly using advanced scan equipment/dealer level scan tool.
4) for modern commonrail diesels, a clogged or failing SCV (suction control valve) can cause stalling. Also a clogged fuel filter too.
5) check your wiring... chewed up wires (rodent caused) can mess up your electrical system and cause hesitation and stalling
When stalled, the very FIRST thing to do is to move your car to safety. If your car had just stalled and you still have momentum, turn on your flashers and try your best to reach the shoulder or emergency lane. Other drivers behind may have not noticed your breakdown and they can slam into your car unexpectedly.
I woulda never thunk that a rodent would chew up your wires lol. Nice tips though.
Air filters are normal maintenance items. Why replace a fuel pump when checking its function is so easy?
*lil den* - most modern cars have soy-based wiring coatings (also called bioplastic) so rodents are more attacted to them... they think its food! Try googling more info and car makes/models with this stuff... your car might be on the list. The car manufacturers supposedly do this for recycling and "go green" purposes but from what i read, its cheaper for them to make (at our expense, lol... wiring harnesses could cost $$$ to replace).
wholeNwon - actually i had just purchased the car used (no service history) and was on my way home when it started to stall... i had another car that had a failing fuel pump which exhibited similar stalling symptoms at times (intermittent problem) but sometimes worked or checked out ok (no codes). I guess we both presumed its the same thing on this car... i just wanted to be sure and eliminate that factor.
I guess sometimes its a simple solution/simple fix but we do complex stuff to try to solve the problem. Hehe. ;)
Oliver Vigilia A Kia Rio dies because its a Kia Rio!
Many problems can be avoided if people only maintained their vehicles and checked the belts/fluid levels.
And charging system.
No shit Sherlocks. It’s the whole point of maintenance.
Richard van Pukkem How nice it would be if only one day could pass by without some moron posting a wise @ss comment. I'm sure Scotty agrees.
yeah i know so many negative ppl in this world
That goes for their health too. Aint that something.
Scotty you have been a great blessing to my life you have helped me with all your UA-cam videos thank you for all your hard work.
+2brokenwings73 glad to hear it, thanks for the support!
Scotty your the man! I sincerely appreciate all of this great info that you put out. I feel like my knowledge on cars grows more and more each week. Thank you so much, please keep up the great work.
+Kester Williams You're**
Thank you Scotty, my dad forgot to screw the gas cap back on after refueling in a 2010 Chevy Silverado, got on the highway someone warned us we screwed it back on but then miles later, our truck stalled, I watched this video and then I got it back rollin to Houston! I love this man.
This guy is a fund of information and a lifesaver. Great content, as always.
Hats off to this man.
Thank you. You saved me from being stuck in a lonely parking lot. ✨💛🐝
Instead of filling the glovebox and boot with spare parts...Just tow another car.... then you will have everything you need.
I tow a 10 foot trailer with all I need.
I just want to say this guy gets straight down to the point. I’m not even done watching the video and I have to give him a lot of credit for not wasting my time. I just subscribed
What happens if you die on the side of the road?
just get some more snow and rebuild yourself
😂
Buy a replacement life and put it in the trunk. Duh
Have your car watch a similar video made for humans
half time mechanic, full time savage
So glad to have you in my life, I feel so empowered. Got to fill my trunk up now. Its going to be interesting.
Scotty, the type of person to have a spare engine in his trunk in case his main engine fails
The modern jump starter pack is a God sent. Great present for anyone who doesn't have jumper cables already. Saved me and others a few times already.
Yes, and don't count on jumper cables necessarily helping you these days either. Many folks will refuse to jump another car.
All great tips. Fortunately, despite keeping cars for about 200,000 miles none of these have happened to me. However, I did blow a water pump on a Toyota Camry - when that happens, unless you can get it to hold antifreeze you are getting a tow. I had the antifreeze - but pouring it in just dumped more on the road. Only time I have ever been stranded on the road.
Haven't learned much from ya. But I love how you explain everything very well! Great for people who are not mechanically inclined!
Hey Scotty, great info. I think it may be worth mentioning to check for a blown fuel pump relay. I've seen that as well.
Honda Odyssey fuel pump relay gets a cold solder break around 200,000 miles.
Good stuff Scotty.
Scottys so prepared, he keeps a spare, spare, just in case... lol
Great advice. A LOT of people do now know any of this.
That's the worst feeling. I used to stay clear of the fast lane when I had an unreliable car. The emergency lanes on that side are too narrow and dangerous.
If your car is that unreliable then you shouldn't be driving it on the road. Doing so would be dangerous to both you and other motorists.
Sadly poor people need to get to work too. You’re late? You’re fired.
You’re fired? You’re not living here! You’re not at a fixed address? Sorry, I can’t renew your drivers license.
Scotty is got a moving mechanic shop, this guy is complete!
love your book scotty
thanks!
Critical Thinker rev up your engine!
I would buy it, just for the humor, car tips and dirty pic's as a Bonus!!
Thanks Scotty
You have saved me so much money I thank you
+Mel James glad to hear it, thanks!
I keep a huge gas powered air compressor with $100000 worth of Snap-On tools in my truck so I really make sure I can get through being stranded. Not to mention a box of fuses like yours, 200 gallon barrels of engine oil, gear oil, brake fluid, trans fluid, power steering fluid and coolant. I also have a whole new set of tires with new rims, 1 whole new spare engine and transmission, spare cooling system parts, a spare dashboard unit with all electronic modules, spare PCM unit, spare plastic parts that could break, and extreme diagnostics equipment to make sure I find the root of any malfunction. Now I just need a box of gloves, but can't afford them now because of reasons.
lol, best comment
I just have jumper cables & tire inflator in trunk...need more tools 😞
Critical Thinker There's a thought ...lol
Snap-on
Besides having tools... two most important things to have: 1) a working cellphone to call for help, and 2) an updated AAA membership card...
It also is good to have luck on your side.... my nissan stalled on the highway and luckily a police car passed by a few minutes later... the officer asked my permission if he could push my car onto the shoulder with his crown vic (which had the front push bars), and i agreed (i'd rather have minor scratches than being rear ended with cars going 55-60 mph). He was also gracious enough to call for a tow truck since i didn't have AAA membership at that time.
LOGIC REIGNS SUPREME I carry an impact with sockets and a 2 ton Jack.
Oliver Vigilia -Yep, that's a public servant if I ever saw one, nice! Thanks for sharing that with us!
"Keep a spare engine in the trunk"
🤣😂🤣
You can connect one of those booster batteries but do NOT disconnect the battery or batteries while the car is running. The voltage regulator in the alternator requires a battery in the circuit to function. All the computers require a correct voltage to function and to survive.
I love these! Keep them coming. I am sure the supply is endless.
Thanks Kimmel I fixed my car right now...it stopped on the road...checked fuses at it was the fuel pump fuse...started right up
Scotty, I'm a little late with this, but with this last weekend being veterans day weekend, thank you for your service brother
Badass Scotty at it again. Good to see you again.
Hi boss
just to let you know👍👍👍 I do really like your channel ....... .... it's hard to be like you that fixed all the mechanic problems and I don't have any tools in my car box like yours ........but it's so funny to see that you got a spare alternator belt in your car that make me laugh like crazy 😂😂
I keep all fluids, a belt, an electric pump and a battery pack in my car. the battery has paid for itself 10 times. I even sometimes carry around my 1/2" electric impact to quickly swap a tire if I need to. you think you'll never meed any of it but it's so nice to have it all when you do.
Do a video about what you should keep in your car or pick up
Arguably the best mechanic with all the tips and tricks. Keep it up!
Critical Thinker - Eric is cool........but he is nooo Scotty Kilmer
I agree but, Can we say "idiot" in today's politicaly correct world? I think we have to say "special"..... U have a good sense of humor too I like it !!!
This guy should have a training academy or school for young mechanics
Great. Super practical tips!
Lol! Nice!!! I now walk with everything in my trunk including my entire tool box 😎
Let me guess, you drive BMW or Merc?
My standard for after changing a worn belt is to put the old one in the trunk as a spare. A lot cheaper that buying a brand new one for a spare.
This guy is auto smart.thank you.
Check the Gas : 00:27
Check the fuses : 01:10
Check the belt : 02:09
Temperature : 03:00
The oil : 03:45
One more tip that helped me once: my late '90s Buick just stalled on the freeway out of the blue. This was out of character, as the car was extremely well-maintained. I knew air and ignition were good. Fuel tank wasn't empty. No SES lamp or codes (I keep a scanner in car). Suspecting the fuel pump, I popped the trunk, took a tire iron and thumped the floor of the trunk near the fuel tank. Car started right up and ran fine for 3 more days. I kept a rubber mallet in the trunk and used it maybe ten times over the next month, until I could order a fuel sending unit and replace.
This guy saved me millions
I keep a whole auto parts zone in my trunk
Scotty, you deserve 1M+ subscribers.
+Steve Huddleston thanks!
Hi Scotty , I have watched one off your previous videos , were you also give the hint of turning your heater on maxim when your car starts to over heat , my car started to over heat 2 weeks ago and I tried your tip and it worked , I was able to drive my car to the mechanic that works on it.
+Thavanesh Chefty glad to hear it!
Thanks Scott. My truck is basically an AutoZone now. I am not afraid to go anywhere now.
Scotty, where do you put your luggage on a trip? 😂
Not a good idea to change a fuse to a higher value fuse because the fuse is sized to keep the wire in the circuit safe from overheating. Better advice is to keep 4 or 5 of each value as spares in the glove box....they take up very little room. Then when a fuse has blown replace it with the same size as originsl, then if that one blows too you must find out what the problem is in that circuit....if you put a higher value fuse in, the wire in the circuit may start to heat up and start a fire........
Jeffrey Hill very much yes. Modern vehicle just don't blow fuses for no reason. There is a cause. Wether its added accessories, or a short to power.
Absolutely correct. If you blow a fuse that ends up stranding you, and don't have one of the correct amperage available (always a good idea to keep a few spares in the glove box), then it's much better to swap one of the correct value from a circuit that is less critical (i.e. one you don't absolutely need to get you home) than to use a fuse of a higher value instead. In addition to the risk of fire by using a fuse rated higher than the circuit is designed for, many circuits in cars (even older ones) have both fuses and so-called fusible links> These links are designed as a "last ditch" measure to protect the wiring from overheating if the fuse doesn't blow for some reason. If there's a steady short, using a larger amperage fuse will most likely blow this link, which will not only keep you stranded, but is much harder (and much more expensive) to repair as well.
Jeffrey Hill
yeah
Hard to believe people don't know this. Now a few more will. Thanks
Love the Scotty Kilmer channel!
Got it Scotty, gotta have an auto shop in my trunk🙏..
This is a great video with at least one tip for everyone
I’m glad I️ have everything you mentioned in my car except for the alternator belt and a battery jumper. You forgot to mention jumper cables for road side assistance!
im learning alot from this GUY! legend!
PURE GOLD VIDEO!!! ON my Scotty Kilmer´s videos of my library. Thank You, Scotty.
+MrCapi55 thanks for the support!
@@scottykilmer if the belt is to tight would that make it die in the middle of the road?
Nice video. I would say most of these problems would or could happen by not bringing the car to a good mechanic to check everything at least 2x a year. The likelihood of a fuse blowing while driving I would think is very rare. The same goes for a fan belt. A ten year old car could have a coolant leak from a whole in a radiator, which happened to me around 1999 on a trip to the catskills in NYS. As far as oil and other fluids like brake fluid and transmission fluid; It's the owners responsibility to have a mechanic check it. Some dealers don't charge for minor things, but DO have them checked. Keeping the proper tire pressure can be added to that list as well as the proper battery charge.
2:27
I don't feel comfortable taking apart half my car on the side of the highway to replace a belt.
deWaardt 😂😂😂
Fan belts are easy to get to. Your alternator angle is adjustable.
@@vgrepairs Ever worked on a modern car?
@@99domini99 to be honest I only work on my personal and friends' vehicles regularly, 81 vw pickup, 89crx, 2002 civic, 05 pilot, 2011 versa, 04 dodge Dakota, 98 jetta. All of them have an easily replaceable fan belt.
I've done an alternator on a mountain top. Talking 8 miles from the nearest road. Find your sack if you're worried about a belt
if you drive a manual, just put it in 1st or 2nd gear and just keep cranking the engine all the way home or till your battery dies
This is funny, Scotty basically has a repair shot in his trunk ;). I'd add keep a eye on your gauges and warning lights. My serpentine belt broke a few months back and the battery light came on and the air conditioning stopped working. I realized what had happened and luckily my battery lasted long enough to drive it to my mechanics shop. Like 15 miles I was sweating it. When I got to the shop I had to turnaround and my electric power steering was starting to fail. Pretty lucky but if I hadn't been watching and saw the warning light I would have been dead on the side of the road.
Super .... very useful and love from INDIA
For some reason I still keep watching scotties videos.... It's like seeing a train wreck... Just cant look away, lol
Keep it up, sir! We enjoy and learn a lot from your videos!
thanks for the support!
Share his video!
legend Scotty love your videos you have saved me a fortune hi five from scotland
if u know how your engine normal sounds, i noticed, if the oil is going down (leak or burn) the engine gets louder. checking at least once a month helps a lot. the louder, the worse it'll be. it nvr hurts to just check your car out monthly on fluids. u rely on your auto, so take care of it :)
Very nice IDAHO no plate on Scotty Kilmers car!
Scotty is awesome
Great tips Scotty!!! Sometime a larger fuse is just enough to let the smoke out of the failing component or knock a shorted wire off its short. Problem solve happy travels
Nice tutorial, perfect fuse box, i saw it in Amazon. But remember in case that the fuse fail something bad going on.
In my friends case, his 2005 Ford F150 stopping running due to a failed fuel pump driver module. The thing rotted apart. Build Ford tough! It's in the back, under the spare wheel, so all I had to do is remove the connector and plug in the new one and let it hang until it got home. Thankfully there was an Advance Auto nearby who had one in stock.
I need to get me a spare scotty in my trunk haha
I was waiting for Scotty to say make sure you have a spare belt for your spare belt!
Dude you are my new best friend
What about driving and it dies in the middle of the road, then get it towed back home, sits a few minutes and starts right back up and idles fine? Usually going uphill it will die.
Timing belt also... it's harder to check since you might need to un bolt some things to remove the cover but it happened to me in 2005. Make sure you know what milage intervals to change it at so you don't get stranded or bend the valves inside the engine!
Always be prepared, a whole garage in the trunk.Keep going!
Possible to do a review of the portable power packs and requirements to maintain/charging etc?
Thanks Scotty! This is why I subscribed :D I learn so much from you!
+Smoky thanks for the support!
Scotty Kilmer you actually replied 😭😭 I always comment on your videos ❤️
Just broke down on the way home today. Stalled, battery and oil light, cranks great but no turn over. Checked fuses, swapped fuel pump with A/C fuse, no dice. Oil is great, radiator overflow tank was below the L line. I topped it off after stressing for about 30 minutes, it started and I drove home with the heat blasting. Did I just overheat?
Scotty I forgot the rubber mallet bag on the bottom of the gas tank while someone else cranks the car or can you put a jumper on the EFI relay, Bank of the cash check make sure the fuel pump is working then start the car after us fought the relay back in?
Another great video. Love watching Scotty
"No one ever checked the oil". LMFAO.
A bunch of very helpful advice, especially turning the heater on to help keep from over heating.Thanks, Scotty you are stellar.
So thats why when i turned on my heater i felt like i was one with the engine
Thank you for your awesome channel. Unsung hero.
When a car overheats Ive found turning the heater and fan on to be quite helpful as well to prevent overheating the car further
It feels like your yelling at me but i enjoy it keeps my attention
THAT'S RIGHT. YOU THERE, IN THE CORNER, WAKE UP LADDIE
Cool. I'm sharing this with a few friends.
+Ken Spence The Inscrypshun thanks!
great video! has happened to me more times than I'd like it to lol
i always carry a 5 quart jug of supertech 5w30 full synthetic. for like $18. i use stp oil treatment+stopleak so it never leaks anyways but its there if i need it.
scotty I can speak for every one your a jewel of information, quick question I own a 1010 Nissan quash qai 1.6 petrol which I reacently brought it has 13000 miles on the clock and it consumed 4 miles range of petrol why I was parked up for 15 minutes with the engine running. is that normal?
