Always good advice. He reminds me of the owner of a local auto repair shop when I was a kid. Many of the local teen boys would hang around the shop and he would talk through every job he did. Telling us not only what he was doing but why he did it. The boys (including me) would clean the shop, fetch tools and other menial tasks just in order to learn from him. He didn't allow any free-loaders, everyone did something. Much of the learning was also by doing. He allowed some of us to do a job that was always checked by him to ensure it was correct. This was well before de-segregation but there were always non-white teens there, also. He treated everyone the same and with respect. He always addressed each of us by our names or "young man". His was just a two-man shop but a majority of the town folks brought their cars to him. His prices were fair and his work trusted. That was something else he taught us. Treat everyone fairly, deal honestly and keep your word were taught by his actions toward us and his customers. About twenty-five years ago he passed away, well into his 80's. At his funeral, I saw many of the boys (now men) that had frequented his shop to learn not only mechanics but what it meant to be a man. I miss him.
great story to honor such a great man.
@@linq7584 At 73 yrs. old, this story reminds me of a similar story. Thanks.

Im not a car mechanic but I am a troubleshooter. You have done an excellent job moving through the logic, making no assumptions. Excellent work sir!
Sorry but he did make 2 assumptions. First, he assumed that the seafoam doesn't work simply because it's an old product and didn't test it. Also, he didn't explain why seafrom doesn't work with 4 strokes and assumed we would know.
I have a troubleshoot in my car wish you could help me this 👍👍
@@bigballz4u the first part of the video explains why lol
@@GE3Music He just said that it doesn't work with gas that contains ethanol and engines with GDI. He didn't test it, as far as we know he's just assuming it doesn't work because it doesn't have the correct additives.
@@GE3Music He explains why? He must have been holding an older can of SeaFoam..... SeaFoam has been reformulated numerous times over the years and is advertised as working with ethanol and non-ethanol blended fuels and has been for several years now. Also, the fuel trims for that Toyota Corolla were just fine. Short Term fuel trims are immediate adaptations whereas Long Term fuel trims are, as implied, long term adaptations. His assumption about the mass airflow sensor reading is wrong as well. Being a 1.8ltr engine has little to do with the mass airflow reading. A reading of 2.34 at idle for a 1.8ltr engine is well within spec and is actually normal. A common cause of poor acceleration on those older Corollas is failing injectors and vacuum leaks, 2 things that mileage has no impact on.
This guy reminds me of my dad so much. My dad is a painter that always tells me the construction site was his school and university . Person like this always talk like they fell in love with their craft and work and it’s so refreshing. You don’t meet many people like him or my dad now in days.
I used to watch scotty way back 15 years ago when I was in college and was driving an old piece of garbage Nissan Altima - the only car that I could afford at the time. It was a constant head ache with issue after issue but Scotty got me through fixing that piece of garbage for 4 long years. The first thing I did after getting a well paying engineering job was to buy a new car with facotry insurance and now I have a company car so I don't need to care about it. I just leave it at the dealership if I have any issues. Anyway - it was a nice little flashback from a decade ago when Scotty showed up in my feed again. God bless this man. All this knowledge completely for free.
He knows far too much about cars to just be a mechanic, I'm glad he has almost five million subscribers cause he deserves every one of them

This man here deserves some sort of award or at least recognition for what he does. He helps people repair their cars and doesn't try to charge you for it. He has helped me work on my cars and avoid going to the mechanic. I'm sure there are many people that have benefited from his videos as well.
Bg44 k platinum excellent product for cleaning carbon deposits and better gas mileage
I'm sure he's getting compensated well from KZhead by the looks of his subscribers and such.
@@piedadstoffel5955 44k is great but quite expensive. Try the Lucas Ethanol conditioner with green label instead. 1/4 the cost, exact same cleaning and clog clearing ability. Diagnoses any fuel system fault by immediately increasing performance and lost power. Yet the problem is people think this fixed the problem. No it merely diagnosed the real problem. Ethanol breaks down and contaminates the entire fuel system. The only way to truly restore a faulty engine without codes is to completely manually clean the entire fuel system and replace injectors. Thus why they're so cheap these days. Supply is high because they really aren't suppose to last more than 100k these days. So... There's still a ton of info this guy is not sharing.
I mean he has a golden play button and gets paid enough from youtube to make a living doing videos.
He makes millions from video views my dude
Good video, Scotty. My 06 Accord was having problems stuttering on take off and dirty fuel injectors turned out to be the culprit. I started using 93 octane at the pump and every other fill up using a fuel additive. This was 6 or 7 years ago and I haven't had an issue since then.
Reminds me of my father in-law! Made in a better generation because they just knew stuff, knew how to get stuff done ! Great job Mr. Scotty!

This was a very informative video. I usually do all of my own mechanic work because I'm surprised at how many mechanics don't follow logical thought progression to eliminate possible problems. Videos like this help me fix my own vehicles! Thank you!
ever read pirsig?
The problem is that cars are getting so high tech that many probably forget to do just the basic things first, they run straight to the computer. When I took small engines class in highschool, the first thing our teacher taught us was "if the engine isn't running, does it have fuel?". Then proceeded down the list of things like air, spark, etc. I know cars aren't "small engines", but a lot of the same rules apply.
Yeah and there are few old school mechanics left who actually repair stuff. Most just unbolt whole assemblies and fit new…if that don’t fix it, do another one…cos afterall it’s only customer money and the more you fit the more money you make right.
@@cujoedaman First thing I check if a car won't start is usually battery, battery connections, and alternator. You don't know how many times I've seen people be: "oh my car won't start!", and the problem be able to be solved by simply cleaning the battery posts and or connections. This is usually the first thing mechanics are taught to check. The second is what you're saying, which is checking there is fuel, and it's getting to the engine, and then spark, air, and so on. These are the basics that I even see so called mechanics forget to check in the proper order far too often. Edit: Notice the first thing Scotty went for was the battery in this video, which is always the right call, even when it's not the problem, at least you have determined that is not the problem.

@@scottykilmer , yeah, we miss you. My next door neighbor moved to Tennessee because he was on a pension and could not afford the property tax. These worthless legislators are getting the property tax recipients rich! It is difficult for them to spend all the money.
Where in Tennessee are you!!!!! @scotty Kilmer
Enjoying the better weather in Clarksville, Tennessee?
Newsflash…Scotty tipped me to that Purple Power in another video. $20/can. Anyway I used it and my truck ran like new again. Great stuff.
Scotty has been the greatest teacher I’ve ever had
The knowledge and the vibe of “slightly-unhinged but still brilliant scientist” makes Scotty’s videos so darn awesome!
Wow impressive detail diagnostic tracing! Thank you for your sincere opinion within this channel. I think many will agree!!
One of the best videos I've seen in a long time. Systematically diagnosis without throwing money at it. Always one of my favorite channels on KZhead
This shows the difference between big chain parts changers and someone who knows how to do real diagnostic work.
This guy is awesome! he's a joy to watch and his personality works to keep my attention.
So moral of the story is, if your cars gas mileage, power and performance is diminished, first run the proper fuel cleaner through it first, before digging deeper. It might be just that simple.
1:43 Scotty gave all the people that said he's "FULL OF CRAP", a 1 finger salute! Really Slick Scotty, I love it!!! 😲
😉😂
Precision car diagnostic. Really love it how Scotty explains every bits of details pointing to the correct solution. Keep it up sir.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge Scotty.
07 Corolla is a great car! My one friend bought one with 200k on it, drove it till 285k when it ended up with a bent frame from an accident. Then my brother in law bought it and ran it in bush car races and barrel races. When he finally lost 1st and second gear on the 5 speed transmission; I put the motor in my 03 matrix and still daily drive it. It's around 314k now and still running strong!
To get inside a car Dr's mind is PRICELESS! I've always enjoyed your videos and really appreciate the knowledge that you share!!
Seafoam is the best stuff on the market. I work in the auto parts business for 32 years and I recommended it highly.
One of the few youtube channels that captures my attention, and I watch right to the end...and I don't even work on cars.
I forgot what he was talking about halfway thru the video
Scotty’s Next Door Neighbor: “There he goes, talking to himself again!”
OMG 🤣🤣🤣
He's a mad scientist
Nice to see actual diagnostic ptocedure being followed, with checks that say, "so it's not ...." gives a real idea of how to diagnose logically, not just jump to a conclusion without knowing how you get to there. Thank you Scotty.
Love your videos, man. You are on point with things I know, so I trust what you say about what I don't. Ty sir.
THANK YOU SCOTTY WILL DO. YOU"RE SAVING PEOPLE BIG BUCKS. YOU THE MAN SCOTTY!!! THANK YOU
Watching Scotty as I got older , I’m so glad I knew what this was before he said it . He taught me that . Awesome job Scotty 💪🏽 best mechanic I’ve ever watched
Scotty I just want to tell you how much I appreciate the body of knowledge you’ve shared with us.
It works . this guy is very educated and a top tier expert mechanic. His videos are very helpful and his word is scripture.
Dude! Watching your videos just makes me happier
Love it! That was so pleasing to watch. Can't get a problem past Scotty. I hope one day to even be half the mechanic you are.
Scotty's the man💯💯 he's like a mad scientist when he pulls out the scanners and his hands get going🤣🤣🤣.... problems get solved💥.....keep doing your thing scotty
😁😁🤣😘
Personally I watch a lot of Scotty and also Vice grip garage. Scotty talks with his elbows flopping around and the enthusiasm shows through. He is just not talking with his hands. The Vice grip garage guy has some funny hand gestures when he is explains things. They both amuse me to know end.
Great product bg44 k platinum
Truth. Many not great situations wont throw a dash code.
He keeps on talking and yet cuts to different angles, so much effort. A true genius.
Always love you videos Scottie, you give me confidence to work on my car, and always sort my issues out. As we say in New Zealand. What a bloody legend
dude, scotty is awesome! i wish there were more "teachers" with this kind of attitude teaching a bunch of garage mechanics or any diy trade for that matter
Been using royal purple max clean for years. Swear by it. Good stuff 👍🏼
Spent the last two months trying to figure out why the wife's 15' Corolla was having issues like this. Just cleaned the fuel injectors yesterday.... AND NOW SCOTTY TELLS ME! 😂
Did you use the royal purple or the gum out
always amazed at how much information, and entertaining, spot-on attitude Scotty can fit in to a short amount of youtube time. informative, 12 minute thrill ride, as usual 🙃
