Rev up your engines, nickle says scotty 4 years ago gumout paid
a few YouTubers to review gumout which had PEA in it, immediately what was on the shelf
was sold, no PEA was to be found, not in any gunout product I could find, what do you think
of this, I'm not a chemist, they claim that there's PEA in that cleaner, chevron claims
it had it, now the original one as far as I know was chevron that was pushing that it
had the PEA cleaner, now I've talked to chemists and PEA is a relatively expensive product,
so they don't want to put a whole bunch in it cuz it costs them a lot of money, originally
chevron said how much PEA they had in their techron and then later they dropped all that,
and when people ask them, hey how come your not telling us, well they say, we don't start
a additive war where we have this much and another company says we have more, well to
be that's a bunch of nonsense, I wish that they would have to say how much is in it you
know, I mean you buy cereal and it tells you how much and how many calories are in each
ingredient right, well in those they don't so you really don't know, you really don't,
you know unless your a chemist and take that stuff out and get it analyzed to someone you
got to believe what they say, but luckily you normally don't need fuel additives in
a car anyways, it's already in the gas you buy, and if you take care of your car and
you don't go out and buy some old junker that nobody took care of, a cleaner can help them,
but if you maintain your car regularly there's no reason you even need to put additives in
your gasoline, fury asks scotty, I have a toyota and I always
top up the engine oil almost every day but there's no oil leaks and the car doesn't smoke,
the engine performance is fine, what could be wrong, I'm assuming you got a reasonable
amount of mileage on it, and as engines wear the main reasons they burn oil from age is,
the rubber valve seals on the intake the rubber is going to fall apart, so then every time
the engine sucks in fuel it sucks in a little bit of oil from the top of the engine, and
the piston rings, the piston rings wear going up and down for millions of times if it's
got 100-200-300 thousand miles on it, the oil gets by and gets burnt, it's got to be
burning it, cuz if your adding it and you don't see it leaking anywhere it's burning
it, check your spark plugs every once in a while and replace them when you have to, as
long as it runs ok and you say it's running good, just keep adding oil and when the spark
plugs do get carboned up replace them, hopefully you live in an area where they don't do a
lot of emissions testing because if they do emissions testing a lot of time they'll fail
if they burn a lot of oil, sharik says my shocks are worn out in the back, they bounce
like a rappers car from the 90's, can worn out rear shocks cause uneven wear on the tires,
well of course they can that's one of the main things that does,
the shock absorbers, they absorb some of the shock on the car, but they also hold the alignment
correctly and if their really worn out the car is going to be out of alignment and if
their really worn out and they really bounce up and down like mad, then the tires are going
to get contact, non contact, contact, non contact when you hit big bumps, parts of the
tire will wear and other parts of the tire won't wear, of course if their really badly
worn it's going to affect it, now I mean if you don't drive that many miles it will take
a long time to wear the tires out, but if you do a lot of highway driving and stuff
you'd be better off to change those shocks right away, otherwise their just going to
wear out quicker, the tires are going to wear out quicker and it's not all that safe bouncing
around, but I've had customers drive cars like that in the city for years and if they
didn't care they'd stay away from the giant potholes and just buy tires every once in
a while, cinnabun asks scotty my 99 buick regal shut off while I was driving down the
highway, it did it 3 times and I have no idea what the problem is, they can shut off for
many reasons, first thing you want to do is, have the ignition control module testing on
that thing, that's a known problem, they just shut off the electricity to the ignition system
and they stop running, have that checked first, now it is a 99 so it is obd2 and have a good
mechanic like myself test it out, because a lot of times it will trip a historical code
that only mechanics can read and it will say this system broke down and it will show exactly
what it is, cuz it could also be a fuel pump losing pressure and different things, have
a mechanic check it first just to see if there's any historical codes, it doesn't take me 5
minutes to check that stuff out, but a lot of times it is the ignition control module
on that model, trevor says scotty I have a code p0302 a cylinder
misfire on a vaxhall corsa 1.2 in the UK, could it be a fuel injector, yes it could,
what a lot of people don't understand about misfires are, if the cylinder is misfiring
there can be a lot of reasons they misfire, it can be a bad spark plug, a bad ignition
coil, but it can also be a bad fuel injector not spraying the fuel right, it can also be
a bad computer not firing the injectors right, it can also be a blowing head gasket, it can
be a lot of things so you have to test them all if you really want to find out why a car
is misfiring, it's not as simple as some people may think,
so if you never want to miss another one of my new car repair videos, remember to ring
that bell!
