Remember car enthusiasts, I always have more helpful information in the description. I mentioned common vacuum leaks, I see on Ford trucks and other vehicles. The most common leaks I see on vehicles in general are vacuum hoses and the intake hose, but rarely the intake manifold itself. Okay, I gave a little here, which wasn't in the description, but there's still MORE in the description. Lol
Ian Hawking sure gets a lot of free advertising from me. Lol He lives in England. Wrote the app so he could know if his knocks sensors were knocking when his boosted Subaru was pushing 350 wHP. Maybe more? Torque Pro is worth it to me to not have the ads from Torque Free. It takes me hours to set it screens up. I wish I could port settings to a new phone. That's my only dig on it other it usually having what I call basic PID's. Thanks buddy.
Damn i don’t dare to mess with my car like that. I respect your skills. I saw you comment on Roberto Blake’s video and liked it enough to come check out yours
Yeah. That was a temporary experiment to see if hand drawn would get a better click through rate...but I'm not good enough at drawing. Takes forever. Lol
Turns out my app had a bug at the time. It confused pending codes with permanent. For months I wondered why some vehicles had check engine lights on and others didn't. It didn't match. Lol
Manufacturer dependant on the rules of multiple pending codes setting a CEL. My truck has pending and permanent codes for the same code frequently. It's like it leaves the pending there when you get the permanent. I've never met a scan tool to see freeze frame on Nissans. Not even at work so if you can't see separate freeze frames per code, why have both?
Man I have the same code for a toyota 2005 corolla LE, P0171 bank 1 too lean. I'm not sure what to do to fix it though, I replaced MAF, replacing spark plugs tomorrow, i took it to a shop and they didnt find any leaks, was gonna change o2 sensor next, but not sure what the issue is with it
Could be an oxygen sensor. I've seen that before, but you really need to check live data to be sure. Learning that is a lot cheaper than the parts cannon.
I'm glad I could help! Vacuum leak hunting often works without fuel trims and live data, but subtle leaks won't get caught so I always use a scan tool. In this case it was a huge leak on this part, but it was a Spider web of leaks which without live data, I wouldn't have been successful.
I decided drawing the words may be a lot of work and look kid-like, but it stands out over a typed entry. I drew it out so many times. Thanks for the encouragement!
I got the Torque app from the Google Play, but it is in the iPhone App Store as well. I got a basic OBD II bluetooth reader to plug into the car. Total price? About $23. Today the torque app I'm pretty sure costs the same but the bluetooth OBD ii readers may be a little more.
I see water used a lot for testing but I have to assume it wouldn't react as good as a solvent . Seems them rubber bellows are a common source for leaks on many vehicles. Water vs solvent while looking at fuel trims - what's best . There's a vid:) 👍👍
Now if I could just ever find a water bottle to spray with. It's like the one thing I won't lend out in a shop. If you lend it out, it won't come back ever.
Water is safer, but less available oddly enough. I'm trying to think if I've ever watched live data using water? Well, I know I've done a water decarbonization treatment watching fuel trims off camera. The RPM could be seen to drop but fuel trims don't change so you'd have to have a big enough leak to effect RPM. I've found subtle leaks with fuel trim shifts which I'd have never found otherwise. This is a guess of a memory from during water decarbonization, but I'm thinking back again to a small shop I worked at once. I tried water first one vacuum leak test later and fuel trims only increased to regain RPM. If that Impala had a proper idle air control, it should have done even less than that. You definitely are making me want to find a subtle intake leak to make a video on! They're usually bigger leaks. I know Scanner Danner went through a period where he was becoming convinced that water could do all only to find what I suspected would make him consider it wouldn't always work: a subtle air leak. What do you think of my different thumbnail?
DE Nichols I think it would be a first on youtube . You can cause a vac leak and demonstrate the different affects of the two liquids shown on a scan tool and why one is better than the other. 500 K views if kept short and precise . Scotty Kilmer style :) Like the thumbnail change . Try a secondary outline colour on your lettering and it makes it just pop. 👍
As the water or brake clean started and stopped, the opened vacuum line would have to be sealed. A professional vacuum tube/fuel system cleaning setup would be required or something capable of being sealed and turning the fluid of choice on and off. I don't own one, but it doesn't seem expensive to make. Thanks. As a fellow UA-camr, I really respect the feedback on the thumbnail and as a connoisseur of the type of video on UA-cam, your insight. I have been holding back for what feels like 7 months a video, which uses a similar device for a fluid delivery, which would go viral, but until I have my monetization back with UA-cam. The truth is, they made those changes in April, right? I think It shot the video at about that time and I quickly realized I had to hold it back or I'd easily have a video with 5-20k views a month, worth possibly $100's of dollars over the years. If my channel was at least another 9k subs, the exposure on a video like that could easily be worth a $1,000 in a some months. The viral level of a video can be held back by the strength of the channel in general. With full time school and work, I was only able to post up a video because I've been really sick the past few days. Took me 2 days to go from a decently edited video to being able to click publish because I have such weak limits right now with this infection. That said, the whole channel has about 20% less views without at least weekly publishing...but that may also the yearly effect of spring. People watch a lot less in May than at any other time in the Northern Hemisphere. Generally having a publish dry spell doesn't hurt a month this month. Yes, I'm thinking it's the effect of Spring. Hot summer brings most of them back to UA-cam more this month, and in the next 2-3 months.
Hi awesome vid my Corolla rpm jumps up and down only when car is really hot or if I turn on heater at full blast changed maf air throttle body done somke test for leaks 02 sensor bank 1 checked and cleaned dont know what else to do machnics cant fiqure it out either please help thank you
Mentioning an o2 sensor without a code or live data showing an issue that needs more information. If your blower is being erratic when at full blast, is it because of a weak alternator or because the blower uses power erratically at full blast?
The torque app is free. I paid $5 to run it and free a LOT of years ago. It works with any basic wifi or bluetooth OBD ii basic scanner. I recommend bluetooth. If your android or ios likes wifi for internet, hooking wifi to an OBD ii can cut off your internet connection.
Same car and i’m getting very bad gas mileage. 5km/liter on city driving. My long term fuel trim is at -7 to -10. Ive cleaned the intake and replaced sensors. What else could it be?
Which sensors did you replace and what was your reasoning in replacing them? If you're referring to oxygen sensors denso are the correct ones, but their quality for our model of car has really gone down hill in the last decade. They cost half as much as they used to and their quality matches. The Bosch oxygen sensor is strangely pushed in America and before I was a pro I put one in. It leaned out the engine enough to prematurely kill the catalytic converter, but if your burning extra gas it may just lean the engine and help with gas mileage. Upstream Bosch oxygen sensor.
Torque App. Free with ads or $5, at least when I bought it many years ago. Still works. You do need a bluetooth OBD II tool. They're made generically. If you suddenly find and buy one cheaper with wifi and you don't get the bluetooth, you'll sacrifice internet to connect to a car which can be really annoying when you want to look up a code.
When I sprayed it in general, I could see brake clean absorb into it slowly. The drying pattern told me the intake tube was leaking every where vs it just evaporating. On a hot day, you'd see fumes going up, but it all sucked in. I didn't film that as I had done diagnostics a prior day without time to film and this day the customer only had enough time for me to talk and explain versus show testing in detail.
@@DENicholsAutoBravado yes. I found a file for Torque Pro in the Google Play store but its for the 10th gene 1.8L not the 1.8 VVTI. I have an 03 Matrix
Hmmm. That was one of my better videos explaining vaccum leaks. I talked instead of showing some things. What questions are you left with? Using a smoke machine is the easiest. There are DIY tutorials to make 1, a famous video by Scotty Kilmer where he shows using a cigar to check even though he doesn't smoke. I learned from Scanner Danner to put holes in a water bottle. You can spray water where you think there is a leak. Sometimes the leak is so small you have to watch live data to spot you found the leak because the leak is too small to hear the engine speed up and down as bits of water are sucked in. More teach to use carb spray, but being flammable that is more dangerous, depending on your point of view.
Here's my worse video at explaining similar problems, but maybe if you hear more on the subject this better video will have more context. ua-cam.com/video/7u0CTVI4L3Y/v-deo.html
My knowledge of the subject was very strong at this time too: ua-cam.com/video/qcy94Qp5bMU/v-deo.html That one focuses on fuel trims. Huge because watching live fuel trims while you use propane or water can help you see when you've found a leak. ua-cam.com/video/qcy94Qp5bMU/v-deo.html
Bad fuel trims can also be caused by bad oxygen sensors making the PCM set the wrong conditions because the 02 Sensors are bad even when they aren't. ua-cam.com/video/0glNVL8O564/v-deo.html It's a very big subject. Can't fit it all in 1 video that people would watch.

Thanks for stopping by my stream sorry I couldn't talk much I had 3 young kids not easy to manage with some many people at the event
That's cool. It makes total sense. Did you have fun? I had to run off to work right after you stayed.
great day but no comfort to many people all in one small area
Lots of people. Needed space?
You are a pro when it comes to car fixing. Great tutorial.

If you get a multiple pending codes it will set it but I'm not sure how many pending will set it. Good stuff.

Oh yeah. I have some oxygen sensor testing videos so you can learn what to look for on the live data.

What do you mean by it gets really hot? Does it overheat?
Mentioning an o2 sensor without a code or live data showing an issue that needs more information.
If your blower is being erratic when at full blast, is it because of a weak alternator or because the blower uses power erratically at full blast?
When that happens is the voltage for the whole car steady or also erratic?
@@DENicholsAutoBravado voltage is erratic
@@DENicholsAutoBravado no when driving to 3 or 4 hours usually gets the temperature really hot
great fix. best wishes for you

Hello could you help me ? I have a quest about my pops 2000 Toyota Corolla
Sure. What's up?
bro my toyota ha a bad gas mileage what do u advice me to do it goes 8miles by 1litter
I know nothing about a random Toyota. Can you be more specific?
I didn't see any holes in the intake tube?
It's cracked all over. Like an old tire that's leaking a little every where and you wouldn't be able to identify something to patch.
