In this video I work on a Chevy Impala that was dropped off at the shop with some parts in the trunk. They included a new muffler and a new throttle position sensor. Let's see how this one goes. -Enjoy!

Are u sure the TPS on a 2007 chevy impala has to be relearnt? Saw another video that said only 2008 newer. But I'm not sure and I've got a 2007 if I put a new TPS on mine will I need to perform a TPS relearn?
how do you get to the o2 sensors on the manifold? 2 of them i guess.. can it be done from the top. or gotta jack it up?
When you don't stay caught-up you lose customers…didn't take me long to figure that out.
Nba
Legend has it the muffler is still rattling around on the floor.
You keep saying if I can do it you can do it, Well I am handicap from a stroke and I cant do it anymore. I get depress because of it!!!!!!!!!!
Who thought it was a good idea to run a wiring harness that collect dust over the opening for the brake fluid reservoir?
What about a 06 Pontiac grand prix with electronic throttle body if you take it off to clean it do you have to do a relearn procedure
Eric, do you still charge a diagnosis fee for a car like this? Just curious… (The Dodge at the end, I mean)
Came across this video. About to clean my throttle body on my '12 impala. On the TPS it looked like there was a gasket on the old one but not on the new one. Did I just miss it? Also any tips on cleaning that particular TB?
Stick a fork in it
Another good one
“Keep Motorin”!! Should be the official SMA slogan. T-shits would be sweet.
Tires love to explode due to low tire pressure. It is safer to have 5 psi over pressure then it is to have 5 psi under pressure. Do not ignore under pressure warnings. Keep your tires inflated properly!
Wish you would do more videos best video I’ve seen in a long time
Second time watching 5/24/2020
But the toaster light was on.
The Impala sounded good with the holy muffler. Lol
Uncle Rodney is knocking… He's hyped up and ready to punch a hole in something! Poor kid lol
rear tires looked toast.
"That's the sound of an engine that's about to put ALL of it's part numbers into the oil pan." I nearly did a spit take on that one. Heck, even my wife laughed at that. Eric, that's what makes your videos awesome LOL!
Shout out for Diablo! See what I did there?
Eric what is the name of the scanning tool you used on this video?
what scan tool was that? Thanks
2007 Subaru Impreza wagon 2.5 how often should I change my timing components
I just cut off a couple steel posts with a 9" Medium Metal Diablo blade – sliced through them like warm butter. I was quite surprised, to be honest.
People still replace mufflers?
had to see to the end I knew it was going to have some reason you left it in. as it cranked over I knew it was cooked. I would say over done!
Just a little advice never use walker mufflers pure trash. They'll rott out in a year or 2. Trust me.
"The tailpipe went MIA; This side of the muffler has cancer."
Best laugh of the video
I wish you would've fired it up after cutting the tack welds, for poops and laughter
Hey Mr. O…i noticed you had a smart phone for your scan tool. What scanner are you using in this video? I've been using my Tmobile Syncup drive code reader/mobile hot spot device to read codes but it doesn't have the ability to read live data and do relearn procedures. I'd like to find a scanner that works with my phone to read codes, see live data and also do relearn procedures. Love your videos and thanks for the feedback man.
Lube is the key to life !! More words of wisdom from Mr.O
Very fine sets of mechanic's working. Love your showing codes, etc. Keep it up.
working on a weekend, have to do the same myself just to keep the family going, you seem like a hard working honest guy, best of luck, I'm enjoying your videos
Time of death
Yup, gotta love the ole Deez Nuts references lol.
What obd2 app are you using?
I just saw the Ad for the Fixed Box on your channel. You can get rid of all your electronic tools now. Fixed Box and Phone is all you need!
Changing the air pedal in my 05 Chevy equinox LT fixed my TPS code. Boy was that a pain in the rear lol. I also like to use CRC throttle body cleaner.
Number 3 sounds similar to my Subaru when it decided to spin a rod bearing. Sure would love to know what caused that since the engine sounded awesome the day before.
You kept on saying, "Let's keep movin'" That's a great tag line.
Poor dodge. How many miles?
TPS sensor problem on these can be the one on the gas pedal too. It's a really annoying problem.
Did the new tops come with a new rubber gasket?
It looks like an engine bay wash should be the first thing to do!
Just go ahead and give that air compressor a name…It, certainly, is as much a reoccurring character as your lovely wife…
Yeah did you put the engine cover back on the Chevy Impala?
Knock knock
I have been wondering what brand of screwdrivers are you using the ones with the black and green handles
