Hi,
I am from Germany and love your videos. There are some interesting difference between your art of work and the way they do the things here. One is that you record the video by yourself. Wow not easy to film and work at the same time. So thank you and go on with your videos.
I have to laugh when non-mechanics throw parts at an issue, hoping that one fixes the problem. Sometimes, experience with a particular vehicle makes it more likely that a time-consuming diagnosis is not necessary, but in most cases, following a shop manual troubleshooting step-by-step procedure is ideal.
Your best videos are the most catastrophic and involve total neglect and forbidden mustard overflows. HVAC good too, some homes require moon suits due to hygiene.
I am guessing that flow chart is from All Data. That must be an expensive service to subscribe to.
This was one of the more complicated procedures here, thanks God the engineers have come up with these beautiful step by step instructions.
2001 Ford Escape, bad ECU. Nobody but nobody could diagnose the failure. Replaced all the ignition coils. No ECUs available anywhere to test or even buy. Finally the dealership found one that had been ordered but never used sitting on someone’s shelf. $1800? In the end the car ran beautifully for many more years but the economical thing to do would have been to total it. 10 years and you can’t expect your dealer to have any parts for your car. This is when I decided to quit buying new Fords.
Wow, look at you looking at diagrams, just like Eric O.
I have done several parking lot repairs including a timming belt.
That old ford had a stopped up exhaust this I know from experience This is a new from like I said experience let me know I’m curious if I was right I know that the fuel problem but that’s not all the problems on that old Ford LTD Crown Victoria they had the motor put in it I really enjoy your mechanical aptitude I wished I would’ve had some of that when I was gonna work on the prayer partner screwed him it was too but I helped a lot of people I like the way you think right where you work and you’re watching your videos thank you
What? My bill is $1500!😢
Reminds me of a problem I had. My car would die. No rhyme or reason as to when it would die. Took it to a small auto repair place my brother recommended. I asked the owner if they had a computer thing to put on my car to tell them what was wrong. He told me yes. So, I left the car there. apparently over night the battery went dead (I never had trouble with it) so when I went to get the car, they charge me for repairs and the battery, and I leave. I get about a mile away and the car died again. It always starts again. So, I drove it back. They worked on it some more, charged me and I leave. (I forget what they said they did) I go around the block and pull into restaurant parking lot. Get my food and try to leave and it won't start. I was half a block from the mechanic and so I walked over, this time I was hot under the collar. One of the mechanics walks across the street, pulls a module of some sort out of the fire wall area, says now try to start it. It started. He has me drive back to the shop. They order a new module and plugs it in and charges me again. nearly $1000.00 later and it was a stupid, less than 100.00 module. I told the owner that I should get my money back on all the other work because it did not fix the problem, and why didn't their computer tell them what the problem was. He said they don't have a computer. I told him I asked first thing when I went there, and that is why I left me car, he told me that he never said he did, because he doesn't. I never went back there, and I bad mouthed them every chance I got.
Thanks!
Hi Ray thanks for the great videos !!!
When I have a problem with my car it’s going to cost a fortune to ship it from the UK to the USA for you to fix !!! 🙈🙈🙈
I had to laugh the first time Ray said, “You guys watch for a spark I’ll go turn it over”. 20 k voices yelled there’s no Spark! Loved the TS flowchart – wow was that remarkably detailed. Great vid Ray
another great video… printing the flowchart- then methodically going through the steps instead of just ordering parts and crossing your fingers. Well done sir.
Most all Mechanics including Ray knew if no fire to Spark Plugs, it was Coil or Control Module…
Step 47: go to step 1.
Great detailed diagnostic! Never skip a step! Never be a parts hanger mechanic. Thank you.
approximate mileage then tell us actual mileage duh
Without heat sink compound that module wouldn’t last a week
I really like watching you it brings back things when I was in the field.i used to love doing that kinda work
Good to know that is my truck for many more years.
It's terrific to watch your process. Thanks very much for these videos.
One of the best technicians I've seen a long time I used to do it for living myself but it was the old style cars now I got a 2004 Mach 1 had to buy a laptop just to turn it up and down wish I had you here rain Man can you work on a 4.6 l for valve head motor I might need some work where are you at I will put it on a trailer and tow it to you I've done extensive work on the motor it's got a Whipple supercharger it's got a set of long tube headers super Snake clamps for valve heads I put a 410 rear in it Hurst quick throw shifter and yes it will run through the quarter mile and high tens low 11s when I turn it up but I try to keep it down to around a 12 second car because it's terrible on gas I have to run e85 in it but I sure would like to have a guy like you around it can work on it cuz every time I need something done to it I got to put it on a trailer and take it all the way over to New Jersey from Delaware with the two hour drive to the mechanic that I use I spent $1,000 on this car it's one of a kind it's car 1831 the only made a few of them but I'm an old Motorhead I'm 68 years old and I still drag race and trust me bracket racing is hard you don't want to break out but I'll say one thing you're absolutely one of the best technicians that I know from watching you on the YouTube keep going rain man you got her
Good call. Appreciate the effort you put into diagnostic tests before you start.
All your hats and shirts and cups should say "click"
Where do you get the flow charts from? Those are Amazing
Good job. I have one question … Can we download Flow Charts from the net or is it exclusively for services?
Distributor systems are a pain in the ass, from the ignition coil to the distributor it self shitting it self was always a nightmare for one of my older cars. It was my first car and had to replace something in this system every 6 months lol. Coil packs are so much better to diag them and they just don't randomly shit them self every 6 months.
I miss the good old days when you just parked under a shade tree and fix it easy breezy
I compliment you on following the flow and chart and directions bravo 👏
Good job.
Where do you get flow charts
No shower today, so they made me work outside… and I wear short pants to work.
Got fuel no spark check that crap cross fire distributor cap ive had enough experience with then going bad causing that same problem (by cross fire i mean the flat cap where the wores come out on the side of 5he spark plugs )
Great video! Very detailed and meticulous diagnosis. Nice work! Really appreciate your knowledge. So many home mechanics throw parts at the problem and end up getting frustrated when it isn't fixed.
Nicely done Ray. Proper !!
Does it have a crank sensor on it
I want you to know, I love watching these videos. I'm going to do a LQ4 swap into a 1986 C10 Chevy Pickup and troubleshooting is going to be my friend. hah! I love the flow chart videos. Would love to know how to find diagrams and such(I would assume I could google things). Subbed and keep up the good work my man!
That was very interesting!
ANOTHER JOB WELL DONE
Great job
I wonder how many computer geeks there are watching this cursing at the Gods for heat syncing issues.
Hey ray no spark
Where do you find the flow charts?
wow….. well done..
It's all about the click got to have to click click click
Very roomy engine compartment
