Some more explanation of how sensors work and troubleshooting problems with them.
Many times people blame a generic "sensor" as the cause of poor performance. But, do you really know how they work and how to diagnose a problem? This car ...
I found the problem it was the coolant temperature sensor connector. It
wasn't even connected. Now it turns on just fine. Something so simple.
Thank you for your help and time. Your videos are awesome
I am having a problem with starting my truck 2001 toyota tacoma 2.7 4
cylinder. In the morning or when cold at first start up. I suspect that the
coolant temperature sensor is bad. The one that goes to the cumputer.
Because when it is warm it starts just perfectly. And runs perfectly. Can
you help please. Thank you
cOmputer..lol. The VERY first thing to do in cases like this is look for any vacuum leaks or cracks in the intake hose from the air cleaner to the engine. You probably won't find any, because Toyota isn't know for those issues.The SECOND thing is to extract any trouble codes out of the ECM (computer) with a fairly cheap OBD code scanner. Usually anytime a sensor stops working or goes out of range on an OBDII vehicle it'll set a code.If there is no code to indicate a problem, then you may be dealing with a fuel pressure problem. Next time you do a cold start, turn the key on, then off, then on and see whether it starts better.This issue seems to be somewhat common with that engine, hopefully you can get to the bottom of it.
Jerry Picks Up the Nissan -Fixing it Forward
We've finally reached the conclusion of the 2003 Nissan Sentra SE-R repairs and Jerry has come to pick up his car. There are a few loose ends that need to be ...
Its refreshing to see how thankful this guy was. I cringed when Eric had to
explain both of his half-ass repairs (ball joint and electrical tape).. you
could tell he was embarrassed. I enjoyed this series though, welded ball
joint and all.
I wouldn't call those repairs half-assed. They were adequate, cost-effective, just crude in comparison to new oem parts. If pressured for time or funds, I might have done the same on an old vehicle of mine, differing only in selection of materials, since I don't weld metal, but have a lot of experience with plastic/rubber repairs and epoxies.
daughter had same car till it hit 2 parked cars,to me it was totaled, but
the dealer fixed it,but it NEVER drove the same.I mean the right side frt
was all mangled and front wheel pushed back and frame area.
Eric how scared were you driving with that guy? Nice guy and i got mad love
for the veterans but he's shakin like a leaf I thought he was gonna twitch
into the ditch
