      Run your car through a scanner and check if there are any codes for the sensors related to fuel concentration mixtures.
      I had a check engine light turn on in my old 2004 Suzuki, went for a scan and I had codes for the bank 1 sensor 1 oxygen sensor, the IAT sensor and the TPS. I was broke so I drove it around for a month or so and in the meantime went from having to full a tank every two weeks to having to do so every 4-5 days on the same route. As soon as I could I changed the oxygen sensor, the check engine light turned off and gas mileage improved but still not as good I remember. I have yet to replace the IAT sensor and TPS, I know I have to cause I had ran the car through a scanner, but without the check engine light that turned on for the oxygen sensor I wouldn't have known I had trouble with multiple sensors.
      TLDR - Scan your car as you might have some sensors not properly doing their job yet not turning on your check engine light.

      Sensors are a double edge sword... they are great when they trip a code or allow you to graph data to help you to quickly zero in on a problem... they are a royal pain when they fail to throw a code and it turns out the sensor is causing the problem... especially intermittent problems.

      Not really. Modern cars are far more reliable and efficient than older cars despite their complexity. It used to be commonplace to see cars broken down on the side of the road with steam pouring out of them, or to carry a spare fanbelt and water at all times. Also modern cars are orders of magnitude safer, and that's an "improvement" that cannot be argued with.

      Check the mileage numbers. It only goes up to 99999. Because they didn't expect the car to last that long.
      More electronics are more failure points. But they are incredibly reliable and easy to diagnose. Plug in an OBD reader and you're good.

    A friend had an intermittent malfunction. The engine would cut at random times. After a 10mn wait, it would start. His local mechanic said it was the injectors that had to be changed for a small fortune (didn't make sense to me). The Peugeot dealer, having the monopoly of the proprietary equipment, wanted to charge him 500 euro just to plug in his diagnostics computer. We bought a Chinese knockoff and plugged it into the OBD2 that just gave us an error code number because it was a nonstandard alarm. We looked it up on the internet, it was a sensor in the fuel filter that detects water and cuts the injection pump to protect it. If he went over a bumpy road, the water that had decanted at the bottom of the fuel filter would mix and the sensor would detect it and cut the injection pump. Waiting 10mn, the water would settle at the bottom of the fuel filter and the car would start. Cost of repairs, a 50 Euro diesel filter. I am glad my VW 1.9 tdi just uses a simple diesel filter, no sensors, that I change every 2 oil changes. I also drain a little of it every now and then. In our humid and variable weather, we can get a lot of water condensation in the fuel tanks. On planes, part of preflight checks is to purge water from the wing tanks. I do it every time before flights.

    • @Earthdancer46234

      Every car I've owned I would always do a two week test to see how the MPG fluctuated based on my driving. The first week would be doing the speed limit and the second week would be at 5mph over the speed limit. It's amazing how much of a difference the mpg is with just 5mph difference! Rural and highway driving is also much more efficient than city driving.

    I used to have a JKU that was eating wheel speed sensors. In 2017 I bought a JKU & lifted it as you do. About 4 months later, the traction control light came on & I lost cruise control driving from LA to Bakersfield. My OBD2 said it was a wheel speed sensor, so I replaced it. 2 weeks later, the sensor went out again, so I cleaned it & greased the connections. It was fine for about a month till it happened again. After chasing the problem, I found it was a bad wire all the way up the line. I replaced the sensor & the wireing harness to it.
    I also had a 98 Dodge Dakota that had the transmission input & output sensor go bad when the crank shaft sensor died at the same time. I ignored it because I was broke & the whole thing sized up.

    When you pointed to O2 threads figured you meant using the old anti fowl plug extender. I've read you can put one in the O2 bung or nut then put the O2 sensor in that to keep it out of the full exhaust stream. It's old school but probably works. I know you've heard or done that before, I'm as old school as you are my friend !!!

    I have 2 trip meters in my Honda Ridgeline , A & B. I use the A trip meter between fuel ups and reset it every time I fill up. This helps me calculate fuel mileage. The B trip I use for oil change intervals. Of course I reset this one after an oil change.

    I had a sensor go wrong which made it so the transmission wouldn't go out of second gear and the speedometer go to zero. Fun times. One downside to sensors is instead of telling you it detects a problem, it will instead compensate for it by readjusting settings until, instead of having a small, inexpensive problem to fix, you have a large very expensive problem.

    I had a 1993 Ford Windstar minivan in 2007 and the check engine light illuminated so I took it to Sear's Automotive they said it was a bad oxygen sensor replaced it reset the computer. A day later the light came on again same code for a bad oxygen sensor and found a downstream oxygen sensor replaced it reset the computer and low and behold a day later a repeat.
    This time they went over the entire exhaust system and found the V6 engine on the Windstar had two upstream and two downstream oxygen sensors which surprised Sear's Automotive.

    So how did older vehicles function without these? How did a carburated 70s vehicle keep driving in hot/cold temperatures with no air intake temperature sensor and no gas temperature sensor when the air/gas changed their density? Did it still work well enough and these sensors are just an improvement in efficiency but not strictly necessary for function? Or would you simply not drive a car back in the 70s if the temperature was outside a certain range?

    The biggest problem with all of these sensors is the computer. If your computer dies; it will do so, and give no warning of it's future death.
    I had this happen to me in my truck. Was at a light; engine died, couldn't restart it nor jump it. Just had to tow it, and pay over $600 dollars for a new computer.
    In the end, give me a old truck and the environment be damned.

    Not the best Way to start the morning drive.
    Luckily the dealer was very nice and the part was cheap, tried to install it myself, but it was stuck on pretty good, but the mechic at the dealer spent 10-20 min helping and Got me a new screw, free of charge.
    So I ended up driving it about 50000miles, trouble free after that, Theo I parked it for 12 months, and sold it.
    Still miss it.

    Hi Scotty, that was a very informative video. I know a lot of work went in research and the graphics included.
    I really like the new technology that is available in the newer cars but; I do miss the simplicity of the older cars somewhat.
    My first car, a Chevrolet Nova was quite simple, although it left me stranded on more than one occasion. I knew nothing as far as working on cars.
    One time my car stopped, I open up the hood to see all my wiring sizzle and melt. As I said car was quite simple. I go to parts store buy some 16 gauge wire and rewire the entire car in less than 30 minutes, I don't think I can do that today.
    I bought a new Volvo XC60 last year and it has sensors galore. My Volvo C70 has less but; more fun to drive
