rev up your engines, J will burn says Scotty I'm getting
facebook advertising on eco OBD fuel saver chip
most of the views are positive what do you think, the stuff's a scam it's always
been scams, why do you think they're
advertising on Facebook, unfortunately I see this all the time on the Internet
you go to a website and then they want to make money so they stick to
advertisements for anything they don't care if the stuff works,
I even got scammed on one of those things, it was the ten best tools and number
two was this little keychain thing that beep so you could find where your stuff
is lost like keys or phone or whatever it would also broadcast where your thing
was so you'd look at your phone and it would say, oh you know oh your luggage is
in Detroit right, well they ran into one of the best ten tools
oh well bought one it was like fifty nine bucks, I tried it stupid thing
didn't work 90% of the time, didn't work put it in wouldn't do anything and it
was right as one of the top ones, you can't believe any of that advertising
you see anymore these days, you just can't because unfortunately many people
have no ethics they'll take any money they can possibly get and then say some
products are good, some product works whether it
works or not, that's why I'm here that's why I
test out things, if any of you people watch that actually send me a product and
I don't make a video on it, realize that that's because your product isn't any
good that's why I didn't make a video, so please stop emailing saying what are you
gonna make a video your product because if it's no good I'm not gonna make one,
Jam Campton 96's Scotty help I got an 05 camry automatic, hundred forty
thousand miles sometimes the car will launch move forward when I put it into
park, odds are your parking pawl is wearing out, I've seen it going those
things that things fifteen years old when you stop your car and put it in the
park there's a little pawl gear and it moves in the transmission it locks
it in place, if you put in parking at lunges forward,
that means the dent is probably wearing out, rather than have the whole
transmission torn apart which cost a fortune, my advice is this when you come
to a stop don't put it in park come to a stop with your foot on a brake, pull on
the emergency brake, then put it in park the emergency brake will hold it in
place, so then when you put it in park there's no strain on the problem and
actually that's a better system for all people, because it's safe for emergency
brakes are strong they're made to hold the car, especially when it's sitting in
place and not moving they're not that great for stopping in an emergency, you
ever tried your curiosity go to an empty parking lot and drive your car 30 miles
an hour and then put it in neutral and then put the emergency brake on you see
it takes a while to stop your car they're not that great at stopping them
but they're really gonna hold them in place, so put the parking brake on first
then put it in park it'll stop doing it Lucas 713 Lucas says Scotty Kilmer what do
you think about the 1986 Toyota Supra as a project car, 34 years old
that's an old car they're nice cars back in a day and if you want a project car
and you get it cheap, realize that you don't want to put a whole bunch of money
into it because even in really excellent shape they're not worth all that much
money, a lot of guys like them they turn them into drifter cars if you're
thinking about fixing it up and making it look like new I wouldn't advise doing
it, but if you want it as a toy numero uno, only buy one that still runs and
drives down the road because I've had some customers buy ones that didn't run
they brought it to me and I just looked at him and started checking out in the
electronics are fried and some of the stuff like the ECM and some of the fuel
injection parts were no longer made by Toyota so you couldn't do anything
except gamble with used parts and use parts on what a 34 year old car are not
the smartest things on earth to do, 34 old used parts how do you know if
they're good especially when a computer parts didn't shift good,
I wouldn't you buy it but if it runs and you want a little toy, go right ahead, Joel
says Scotty when I stopped my car a couple seconds it runs on it shuts off
there's a bunch of things that can do it but the most common things are if you
got a bad ignition switch you start at the car starts because it's getting
power with the ignition and it's time position with it starting the starter, but
then when you let go when it goes to the wrong position
it shorts out and doesn't give power, so check that, that's a very common thing, so
is a bigger vacuum leak, crank the engine spraying a bunch of gas and it will start,
but as soon as it starts idling sucks too much
air and it stops, those are the most things you want to pray that it's not
the computers starting to go out or a wiring short or something, but check
those two things first because those are the most common ones, Mazda 85 hey Scotty
I got a 1985 miles dark some wonder why it won't start
that's a rotary engine, those things were notorious for flooding out, they have that
Wankel rotary engine and it's not a Pistons going up and down, they have a
triangular rotor that spins around each corner of the triangle there's what's
called an apex seal, and that's what seals instead of piston rings as an apex
seal and those stupid things broke all the time and it flood the engine out
first thing pull out the spark plugs if their all
wet the engine is flooded out, and a lot of times it's as simple as take the fuel
pump fuse off so it doesn't pump any fuel and crank it for maybe 2 minutes
then let it air dry with the spark plugs out of it and then see if it starts,
trying new spark plugs too, those are notorious flooding out engines, I've worked
on so many and back in the day, now I don't work on it much because ah the
Wankel rotary engines are pretty much a failure, they tried those rx-8 and then
they were failures too, because they burn oil and the engines blew up I don't
think anybody's ever gonna come out with a Wankel engine again, they put on a lot
of power for their size they could run on any kind of fuel, but they had all the
oil burning problems and for an engine as small as they were there are pretty
much gas hogs, Mazda cosmos they were called some of those guys are getting
seven miles a gallon and for a little tiny engine it's just ridiculous, the new
ones were better than that but still there were gas hogs, 2020 says hey
Scotty what are your thoughts on a 2001 lexus is 300, would it be a good weekend
toy, yes if it's in good shape realize what are you talking about now it's
talking about a 19 year old car it's an old car regardless whatever the mileage
says don't pay much work because it's an old car and you're getting no guarantee
on the thing, you can get aftermarket parts for it for a lot of stuff it don't cost
all that much and you want it for a weekend toy a nice car to drive around
that's probably the perfect one, always Road tested and pay a mechanic like me
to check it out of course because our little machines we plug them
in do you have all kinds of data that we can analyze and tell you, oh no this is a
lemon stay away or oh yes it's in good shape and buy it, madman says do loud
motorcycle pipe saved lives and are those motorcycle safety course
worth it okay, first thing people argue back and forth, oh I hate those loud
motorcycles, to some extent a loud motorcycle does save lives, because I'm
driving in my wife's big Lexus you see idiots that are in the second lane to
the right then make a u-turn in front of you going over two lanes of traffic,
people drive like idiots they don't look they don't care and often they don't see
a motorcycle because it's small and they don't notice it, but if they hear it then
at least maybe they're gonna look, you know
I would not be seen dead well maybe I wouldn't be seen dead, riding an electric
motorcycle I know they're working on electric motorcycles but if you had a
motorcycle that was electric would make no noise at all and next to you is
somebody that's gonna pull and smash right into you, noise does do it to some
extent, motorcycle safety courses of course they're worth it, they teach you
all kinds of stuff especially if you're a newbie, I mean I learned to drive
motorcycles on a chopped 650 BSA lightning at the time it was one of the
fastest motorcycles in the world, and I know it was chopped too I was lucky I didn't
kill myself, I didn't have any lessons, the guy who sold
it to me I bought it use took me for a ride around the block and says it's one
up and three down that's the gear shift one two three four
that's all the lessons I got, so they are worth it, take one if you're gonna learn
drive motorcycles, so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair
videos, remember to ring that Bell
