    I have always have a passion like yourself for electricity but never applied it due to my alcoholism and other issues. After getting sober in 2009 I found a lot of good (and some not so good) info to further my pursuit of diagnostics. I found your you tube channel and it was the dodge neon video that told me i wanted what you had. Me and my pregnant wife were about to lose our house to the bank back in 2011; Your book and what I have learned from you, and others like you. Have allowed me to work for myself doing Mobil diagnostics, thus able to keep my house. At the moment I am entrusted to run a busy repair garage and not only financially stable, i get to learn and still love what I do everyday. I cannot thank you enough for being here as gods worker and to share your gifts with us. I only hope I can share my gifts as well as you have one day.
    Another great video, Its always great to see you again.

      @@ScannerDanner ScannerDanner I have a problem. I am a decent mechanic and I have run into a totally unsolvable problem with my 1988 Ford Bronco II. It runs well but dies totally randomly while I am driving it. Heres the weird part I can throw it in N and it restarts like nothing ever happened then it will run fine for a random amount of time and die again like someone pulled the plug. It has gotten worse over the last year to make the Truck undriveable. I have replaced a ton of parts already (Ignition Mod, ECM, Relays, Coil, Battery and cables, Starter Solenoid, cap rotor, plugs and wires) and they made it run a little better but none of them was the problem that makes it die. If you or anyone else knows a good way to diagnose this issue or has had a similar problem please let me know what I might try next. I have a multimeter and watch lots of your videos but I am stuck on this one and I can't really run tests on it while I am driving it. I posted here because I know you and your audience are the best mechanics out there. Please help me exorcise the Ford demon in my Bronco II i love so much.

    Hey Paul, just wanted to show some appreciation from out here in Washington State. Your videos and enthusiasm towards auto repair is awesome and definitely had something to do with where I am today as a tech. I started as a dealer lube tech 5 years ago and stumbled onto your channel and got into teaching myself techniques I watched. Then I bought your book, studied on my off time and worked my way up through repair and now just recently started at an independent shop as a diagnostic tech. I've got a lot of respect for you man.

    I became a mechanic because my dad had this mechanic who we would drop our cars off and say they would be done by this date and we would go pick them up and they didn't answer the phone and the gate was locked. I knew I could do the same job faster. To me it wasn't about making more money it was that I knew I could fix my cars and others and not rip people off.

    Thanks for motivating us SD, you're my true inspiration👍
    I was a regular mechanic a wrench everyday guy, & had probably given up on myself & was thinking to switch to another trade🤔
    One-day (I don't know how) your video popped-up in my suggestions in which you were finding a shorted wire on a Ford Crown-Vic😉
    That video opened my mind & changed my life, since then I was addicted to your UA-cam channel👍 Like all your students, I desperately wanted to get a hard copy of your book w/SD magnet logo😉, (initially it was impossible) but it took sometime, got the order placed with Aeswave & finally received my shipment on 17 Dec 2019 (Boy what a moment it was)👍
    Since then, your book has transformed my knowledge to a different level & no matter what system I'm working on, it has always led me to the right direction👍
    Normally I don't have access to any sort of service info or wiring diagrams, but following your method of understanding the theory of operation & utilizing a test-light has been outstanding👍
    I'm still hustling with my career for various reasons, but I strongly believe that your teachings will make me successful one-day🙏
    Thanks SD, Stay Blessed❤

The guy that never shares the information or lends a hands but this person always looks for the pat in the back from the workshop manager , can’t count how many times I’ve seen them come and go - so true .

    Never worked that way for me. The better I got the more time I spent helping everyone else make money in the shop. I was always asked to help when someone was in over their head and it would take up most of my time in the shop. Like you I started working for myself doing diagnostics for shops around Memphis TN and did some demo work for some of the tool dealers. One thing I noticed was that every now and then you could help that one guy that dreaded coming in to work everyday because he was being asked to do a job that the shop he was in wasn't equipped to do or willing to train their techs to be able to do it. I'm glad to see your videos on UA-cam. I'm sure it's going a long way for a lot of guys that are in similar situations today. All the best from Graceland ;-) Paul

I started with a friend, who is a mechanic, recommending me to some other shop, and then it just snowballed out of control. Over the last month and a half or so I have made about 7K. It is crazy. I am doing this after my 8-5 job. At first they all took me a while, today I found a power feed problem on a PCM in a Malibu and diagnosed it to a bad fuse box in about 15 minutes. Confirmed diagnosis and $100. I thought wow, I am actually getting pretty good at this stuff. I do a LOT of work for buy here pay here lots that bring in the strange one from auctions. I am considering quitting my full time job soon as a Network engineer and just doing this stuff full time. Like you I keep raising my prices, but the work doesn't slow down. They are just happy that someone can figure it out, so they can get the car sold.

    Your videos and book have really helped me out a lot. I am still a fairly new mechanic. I was promoted from an oil and tire guy about 6 months ago, and have had to do a couple of engine diagnostics since then. You do an amazing job of explaining why you do the things you do and what you are looking at rather than saying "if you see this then it's this" and just leaving it at that. Now I can go into this P0171 lean diagnosis tomorrow with a plan because I understand what the car is doing, what systems could be the problem, and have the knowledge on how to test and verify those systems. So I would just like to say thank you for what you do and to keep passing on that knowledge because it is great for people just starting to get into the field.

    This is great Paul. To anybody else out there. The correct answer to the Question, "What's wrong with it?". I don't know. I am going to have to troubleshoot the problem first. I have been an Electrician in commercial,industrial,institutional and healthcare for over 35 years. That was my answer. I don't know. But I will figure it out. Unfortunately people in general have come to expect instant gratification. As wise mentor once told me."Plan your work. Work your plan". Don't get rattled and don't give in to blurting out something to satisfy their insecurity. Never ever tell them how long it's going to take either. You might solve it in 15 minutes or it might take a day or two to recreate the exact circumstances that are causing the malfunction.

    I am a Transmission Rebuilder by trade and have always wanted to hone my skills in engine performance and electrical diagnostics. I have bought your book which I love and highly recommend. I watch all your UA-cam videos and I really need to subscribe to your training class because I am getting my head kicked in by my Mustang Gt. I am 55 years old but still love learning! Thanks for all you do Paul.

    Greetings Mr. ScannerDanner from Sri Lanka! Funny story to be told from my end. After I finished schooling, I went to Australia to study auto mechanics ( and you know to settle down) I learned many things there but always struggled on electricity and testing. Basic principles where missed by myself and I also have the same experience working in a workshop where you do services and brake pads etc. After completing first year, I came home for vacation. Then, COVID hit. I am still stuck at home unable to go back. As curfew was imposed upon us, I used my time for self study as much as I can. This was the moment I came across your channel. I'm happy to say that I am now in a position take on an electrical job way more comfortably thanks to you Sir! Hoping back to go back and pursue my dream to become a master tec. Wish you all the very best in life and to keep educating countless people all over the world !!!

Just can't pull the trigger... Also, I don't have a mechanics license, so who would hire me. I do have a skilled trade, but nothing to do with auto.

    Great stuff man! We had similar backgrounds, only it took me several more years than you to get my head out of my… you know where... Instead of working in automotive fields, I did everything but in my younger days. Roofing, plastic factories, speaker factories, truck driving, trash pick up. You name it I’ve done it, LOL. After wrestling six days with the transmission in my truck, I’ve come to realize that I should’ve stuck with ONE thing, and focused on that. I would’ve been a master, and everything would’ve went easy with time. Instead I still try to do it all. Electrical Diags, nuts and bolts work, outdoor power equipment of every kind from chainsaws to generators… There’s some benefit to having your fingers in everything, but I would’ve been much better served focusing on one thing. I was interested in electrical too. I should’ve focused there. Hindsight is always 20/20!
    Anyway, I appreciate you sharing your knowledge with the world. It’s one more tool in my toolbox, & has helped me out tremendously. Thanks, brother! 👍🍻

I've been told that its very impressive because of my disability and me as a female mechanic. There not very many female there. Diagnostic is very important. I study the system, understand how they work, and what they do. Test don't guess. I told my customers and my family members that. Great message, thank you for everything you do. i hope one day i get to meet and shake your hand.

    What he says about being good and not stating you are good, is true in all jobs. I was in construction for many years, then became a welder, then a mechanic, back into construction, and then in Information Technology (which is where I still am). I've never said I'm a guru or expert at anything, I let my work speak for itself and am now a Senior Director of four teams and still do a lot of the Technology work because many people who work for me do not know how, so I teach them as I do it. Get your hands dirty and learn all you can no matter what field you are in!
