Scotty Kilmer I have a 1994 dodge grand caravan and it dies when it is driven and jumps on acceleration can you help
Scotty Kilmer Hey Scotty my 2000 Mustang v6 cranks but doesn’t stay running and then it smokes black smoke from under the hood
I just replaced my MAF Sensor in my Chrysler crossfire, it idles better and is a lot smoother until I press the pedal down. If I am in 2nd or 3rd and floor it the car acts as if it's not getting enough air. There's no way I installed it incorrectly. What is going on? I little description of exactly what happens ... I floor it the RPM drops and it acts as if it's about to stall and then it recovers and goes back and forth and it's very erratic. Its only in high RPMs though with aggressive acceleration. I just spent 180$ on the MAF sensor... Please help me, Scotty!
Scotty Kilmer i have a 2001 acura integra , it dies if you dont use it everyday, . It has a bad idle ,
Fixed my car
Re: '05 Rendezvous Died While Driving
I have this same issue.
Replaced:
PCM PCV
Plugs, wires
Gas filter, Crank sensor, Cam sensor
Cleaned and checked all grounds.
Both o2 sensors.
Ignition switch and relay
Fuel pressure is 55# all the time.
Fuel system has been professionally cleaned twice.
the only code I can find is 300 random misfire but not enough to get a light on the dash.
Car will run great most of the time. then from a stop touch the gas and it shuts off. It does start right away after. This does happen more after a extended time at idle for say 15 - 20 minutes. I have taken it to two mechanics with no solution. Never does this while straight on driving. Just from a stop and touch the gas.
Car has 166,000 miles but looks great. It's been in the family since new.
One more think the wire connection near the back of the driver's seat is not corroded at all.
I need a fix not another bill with no fix.
I have finally found the reason my '05 Rendezvous Died While Driving.
Power steering pump relief valve. The pump was stopping the serpentine belt. This caused the engine to stall. I went thru so many possible fixes. This was a stab in the dark. But it worked. When the car stalled I could hear a belt noise. Then the engine stopped. If you pay attention you will most likely be turning the steering wheel. Does not need to be much at all for this to happen.
This video from 2010, that boy Scotty been trappin

Scotty you are my favorite mechanic to watch to be a girl and be able to fix my own car and not have other mechanics take advantage of me it is an honor for to listen to the advice that you give thank you❤✌
Terese Berry I only charge 200 bucks for an oil change
@@mandoss3346 Wow. Why so much?
Mango Fresco hustlers
@@mandoss3346 A simple oil change charges less than $100. Depends where you go too.
$200? Now that is insane.
@@JesusBloodSavedMe_1 it's a joke man. An oil change should cost at most $60 for a synthetic including taxes
This guy fixes your car and makes you laugh/happy at the same time. What a legend.
i spill my coffee every time i watch his video
my car die at the stop sign
Your coffee makes you unhappy for a lil while. =]
Frank Smith
He is very disrespectful not funny
Frank Smith sure nuff.
Well Scotty. That small trick of tapping for being sure that the sensor is the problem, only an experienced honest mechanic knows it, and also Shows it. Thank You for the tip, and video.
x2
Aww I thought he might of tapped the sensor after changing it to see if it cuts out?
MrCapi55 Yeah Scotty breaks out The Hammer. Great Stuff
@@halden11 The check engine light did go off.
So can you check other sensors this way too?
Notice how Scotty's video's are short, simple, and to the point. I like that. Great help. Helps is a godly gift. It's in the Bible.
Mr. Kilmer you're a legend. I've learned a lot from you. Thank you for all of your helpful videos.
I've seen a bunch of michanics on UA-cam through out the years first time coming across you my good sir and you are an awesome teacher 👍 keep up the good work
too much electronic crap on new cars..and it doesn't give you better gas mileage...cop cars don't have all this...like maybe its just for us low life to keep us broke and dealers in the money that global warming scam is working beautifully...at all levels and lots of companies getting rich at our expense...
SCOTTY!!!!!! YOUR ARE AWESOME!!! I love how you are straight to the point and explain everything so simply!!! I could actually do some of my own work with your guidance and what you explained about the strut assembly is exactly what I needed answered. I recently just purchased a pair like that you tested and yup worse then ever. I knew it but with all the prices ranging from very low to high I chose in the middle. What You explained makes perfect sense and I thought it was silly to replace the whole thing. When I did my research on front suspension on the internet, pretty much all the sites said when replacing parts its recommended to replace all components involved. Now after having the new ones installed and it making the worst clunking noises ever my mechanic told me the mounts are bad and to replace only those. That didn't sit right with me . It doesn't make sense that brand new parts only have one part bad. The whole dang thing is junk!! Also, I have a 2003 Kia Sorento and everytime i put gas in it I have to pull the handle slowly and in spurts otherwise it makes a gurgling sound and spits out gas. What is causing this to happen? A filter possibly? Thank you in advance for reading and if you get the time to read my comment and answer It would be greatly appreciated. You go Scotty!!
...so the next time your car randomly dies going down the highway, don't start kicking it, hit it with a hammer!
😃
Got it🤣🤣
i have done that on the side of the road i smashed the hell out of my car with a hammer
😂🤣😂
My toe still hurts
Excellent tutorial!
Many people would be scared to do this themselves, but it would cost at least 100 or more in a shop, can save a lot of money on simple repairs like this!
Scotty you are the best. Thanks for being funny and making me feel comfortable in keeping care of my car and my daughter's. Amazing how many people will take advantage of a single woman with car problems.
Thanks Scott the Master. I have learned alot from you sir.
Hi Scott my car stalls when driving for a few seconds and back to normal on till I slow down again when I exhilarating and sometimes lazy to move off, can you help?
check for vacuum leaks, pray you find one. Cause if not, often a worn out carburetor on that old thing
@scotty kilmer
What happens if i did all of that n the check engine didnt take off 🥺it wont let me reset.
Scotty, you’re my favorite. I chain watch your videos even when I already know about whatever you’re covering in that particular video. I’m young and I know to learn from the guys who’ve been at it forever. I love cars and I love fixing them. Thanks for all the help.
My favorite auto repair guy! I've started to hope that it's your videos when I click something off Google. They've all been so informative. Thank you and please keep up the killer videos!
Hay Scotty. Im going to ring that bell to let everyone know what a great mechanic you are. I changed the sensor and she's pearing like a kitten. Thanks for sharing your expertise.
Thanks for your service Scotty
just depends on how far you want to go. This one is fine for generic work, you need a dealer level one for more intense analysis, and they start at 2 grand for EACH model.
You are not the only Scotty Kilmer, but you are the best one. thanks for all your videos.💪 😎🔧⚙🚘
Love these oldies
When he taps it with the hammer , it's the reason I love old school mechanics
Remember to tap not beat it to death.
@@googleuser868 Yeah! The only hammer I had was a 20lb sledge and I then had to replace my whole engine. But now the engine light is off!
Love this guy... Entertaining and straight forward!

Thank you Scotty. You are "The GOAT" auto mechanic. This has happened to me twice in two days. Freaked me out! Now that I know what might be wrong, I won't look like some dumb women when I take my vehicle
to the mechanic. This is the third time you have diagnosed problems that could be wrong with my vehicle and where spot on. Thank you again. Happy 2022 New Year. Be well, and stay safe. 🐱
Thank you Scotty, you are genius, very straight forward man.

Mazda. What I’m having trouble with ;) Love that you SHOW exact problem, recreate it, then fix it. Thanks Scotty!
03:47 haha that part made me laugh out loud. Thanks scotty for the advice!
Hahahahaha, Scotty, you're very funny and make my life easy with that videos... Thank you from Puerto Rico!!!
This guy's amazing! Thanks Scotty! For making it so easy to understand.
Scotty Kilmer the mr. Wizard of car repair. Thanks again Scotty!
That electrical grease is becoming very important. Cleaned some throttle body sensors on my 04 jeep. Went to test drive. Idle was wacky. Wasnt b4. Tranny would shift 1st to 3rd or het stuck in 2nd. Knowing there was nothing wrong 30 minites prior. Back in the garage with the engine running , pushed on connectors, idle would straighten out. Gooped up the connectors . ran great. Still runs great. If i hadnt just caused my own issues by "fixing" it , I'd swear the throttle position sensor had crapped out. But no, just a lousy connection.
Love your show. Dont know where your getting all your energy ? Coffee ? Red bull ? Cocaine ? None of my concern. Keep up the great vids. You should be on diy network. Subbed
Lol. Great comments 😀
Hey, I loved this. Thank you!
thanks for giving me knowledge and putting a smile on my face at the same time
fantastic videos / always helpful
I would assume vacuum leaks on the intake system first, due to the hard to push brakes. Could even be the brake booster, if it uses too much vacuum it will do that and run like crap
My car has been doing this ever since I replaced the fuel pump the fuel filter the camshaft position sensor and the crankshaft position sensor. I just hope it's not the main computer or the fuel injectors or even the timing chain
@@BryanG830probably a leak in one of the little hoses. Not easy to find, but see if you can hear any air leaks when the engine is running.
Oh man you always make me laugh, even when I don’t know what’s going on with my car😂
Thanks for your very instructive videos! I hope to have your energy and good mood at your age! Cheers mate!
Thanks Scotty, your the best.

Scotty Kilmer I have a 02 Durango and it turns off any where and is not over heating , anything to this, no codes on board. This very dangerous you have no control when it happens the pcm changed and still doing it.
Man you are one happy guy! I want you as my mechanic:)
Scotty. I have been watching u not so long ago and these older videos are great. And have hardly change 👍
Thanks Scotty for this tip. It could save a lot of time.
Scotty,your the Man.Your videos saved me time and money.Thank you Sir.
Man he busted out of that silverado at the end +1

At 2:29 I started laughing so bad, I couldn’t breath for a minute. Lmfao
I'm beginning to like this guy scottie.. I've learned quite a bit from watching him.. a way to go scottie thanks so much 👍
This man is really perfect in a lot of ways.
that boy scotty a wild one
Thanks for the great video later friend!!!!
many things can cause that. When it does stall, check the fuel pressure first, a weak pump will do that. if the pump is good, often leaking fuel injectors, check that next.
At first, I thought the one video I watched was cheesy (sorry, I was researching on reasons a car would die and then instantly start back up) *BUT* then I decided to give another video a shot... These are funny and informative! Thanks for making them.
Thank you Scotty. You are great!
You are amazing
tons of things can do that. As a mechanic, I get my dealer level scan tool, hook it up to the car, and drive until it acts up. Then it memorizes the bad data, and I play it back and analyze what went wrong. That's the only way to do it, other than wild guessing.
Right scotty
Thank you Scotty! That was exactly my problem!
This guy is a riot! And good information to boot.
Scotty the man.keep up the good work.love watching your videos!
pressure test the fuel pump first, that's easy to do. Ignition systems are much more complex requiring a dealer level scan computer or a freeze frame oscilliscope and years of experience
Thanks so much! Blessings from Costa Rica!!
Thanks for all your videos..really helps a lot...God bless...
tons of things, but start by having the battery and alternator load tested, places like auto zone do that free. If they are OK, have a guy like me analyze your car with a high level scan computer, as the car will have data stored to show problems that make it stall out inside, but only a pro knows how to access that info

Good video Scotty! My brother had this happen on his car. I had a 99 Honda Accord that was doing this but no codes would come up. Eventually figured out the ignition switch wires where you put your key in to start it we're burned and shorting out.
Thank you Mr.Kilmer :)
Are we supposed to carry senses and fuel pumps and stuff around with us or what
Sean Sangster
No.
Yes we are supposed to carry our senses with us wherever we go, you cant exactly leave your eyes, ears, noses and mouth at home.
yes, every car i drive has a spare engine in the trunk.

Darresh Prasad stale gas?
Check the fuses main box near the engine mate one of the main fuses playing up.
Yep .... the wife’s Town n Country does this ! Taken it to the dealer and still does it! I am going to take your advice and try to diagnose a little of this myself!! Thanks
Really pro how you explain everything. Thank you.
what if there is no scan code.
Then you are driving a POS car...lol
Billie Bartley AutoZone or O'Reilly's can test it with their scan tool for free
I have a 1989 pontiac firebird. lately it has been dying often while driving in traffic. once In a red light, once in reverse and once while turning. it will start right back up. I'd like to get a general idea before spending hundreds of dollars
Viridiana Trevino, you could try techron like I do. works wonders, it cleans out your fuel injectors, if the problem persists, the fuel pump is the culprit, good luck.
