Auto Repair & Diagnostics : How to Diagnose an Engine Problem

[fallenshawn]

i found the problem, my blinker fluid was low.

People come to me cuz they dont even have a clue how to pop the hood. Plus how else are you gonna erase the check engine light? Gotta hook it up.

[helenamen]

thank you sir

How many of you have an engine problem?

[snautomart]

nice video..!

[10MickeyMouse]

Not bad, but pretty vague on some of your points. Bearing in mind that many folks who are looking at these videos for instruction know very little, you need more visual aids. SHOW the damaged ignition cables, cracked vacuum hoses, etc. And on charging systems; Elaborate for people. DC volts are only part of the equation. Not enough amps or more than 0.5VAC is a problem, the former requiring more than a $10 DVOM to check.

It seems to me that a certified master technician would know there is no computer that will tell you a vacuum line is off... I dunno... the entire video is misleading... where is the part about finding an engine problem? Not much help, not much good information.

[Rickxx8]

@Styxxed He said look or listen for the vacuum leak. 

he didn't say the computer would tell you.

[Styxxed]

@Rickxx8 He said that listening for the vacuum leak could save having a garage hook up a computer to tell you the same thing.

[ForgottenEasternJews]

Holy Cow! Looks like he just got up from sleep!!

I have a 2005 ford 5.4 Gas superduty with 21,450 miles and my check engine light is on. The code says p0174 running Too lean. Could it be the MAF sensor? Do you know of a common problem with this on these trucks? Any help would be great.

@rumerboyz

pull your air filter . . .

if not heavy do a light see thru test . . .

air filter not a problem . . . check you injectors . . .bet number 1 cyclinder has a problem injectod . . . 2005 is likely closer to 100 K miles.

[rumerboyz]

What is the light see thur test? I checked the filter looks clean. How do you check the injectors? Thanks for your help. The truck does run fine though!

[Dannyboy3825]

these expert village videos are a good idea and all, if only they wernt done by such a bunch of douchbags. I hate the way most of em are done in 100 parts, and most of them really dont tell you anything

[mahdyk]

so may the MFA prevent the car from starting ??

please help, i spent 900$ so far at nissan dealerships , and they cant help me >

[1nazchan]

yeah try a 2nd hand MAF

[mahdyk]

ok , im having a huge problem with my 99 maxima ,it wont start or i have to push it very hard to start , after 2 weeks in nissan shop they told me that it needs new ECM ,i bought one but it didnt solve the problem then they told me that the flywheel is bad , i took it to another michanic who told me that the timming chain , but i noticed that it always start normal in the morning (cold) , and once it start the RPM flacuate for couple time beetwwen 1 and 2 , so somebody suggested it might be MFA

[tmaley613]

wow man i work in the industry and most people cant identify these problems even if u told them all of these things

[greenbike11]

wow, that was almost helpful.

[televizorcarpati]
