lol i wish there was a way to connect the car to a laptop so the laptop can check the problems on a car. Most of my problems are electrical and sometimes not even the electro-mechanics know whats the problem on my car. it keeps ruining my alternators.
@ELDURODE100PRE yes, but you're saving money fixing each car. Me, I have a subscription for the whole data system, but I am a professional mechanic and if you haven't noticed, nothing is free for businesses. After all , you paid for the car too, it wasn't free either.
Can't say what's wrong with it but I have an astro that is always low on fuel pressure. However just a spray of starter fluid does the trick for me. I may have a weak fuel pump. I was told the fuel pressure regulator may be bad but if that's so, why can't I smell the extra gas. The van runs great! It just needs starter fluid on cold starts. I can live with that! lol Hey Scotty, I do enjoy your lighthearted look at life! Good show man!
Hey Scotty , I'm getting into the DIY mechanic scene, as I want to really care for my evo7. Before paying for this site
1. have I found the right one just being called alldata.com or was it something else
2. Will it have all I need for my evo7
3. Does it go into ecu's and how to flash them and all that sort of stuff
4. Does it have in depth explanations as to how and why things work? As I'm new to mechanical work and would really like to be able to learn this without trawling for hours
I have a buick lesabre 88 and i was driving it one day and it just shutoff it acted like it needed gas we went to several mechanics and replaced the entire fuel tank new fuel pump and fuel filter we replaced the fuel fuse we did some unnecessary stufff like new battery and fuel module we dont know what the problem is any ideas we know that gas isnt getting to the engine??
@cashout4lyfe measure the fuel pump pressure near the fuel injectors on the engine top. If you have pressure there, then odds are the injectors are not pulsing fuel as the engine cranks. that's a computer or comptuer sensor problem, such as a bad crank sensor or bad computer. scotty
Have a 1998 Crown Victoria LX and suddenly overnight, I started the engine, it is knocking very loudly when it starts and also I see oil draining out from under engine. I added more oil and it all come out. What is the problem. Yet when I last drove into driveway, it was fine and no red oil on.
@SunGlo49 time for a new engine or car. Knocking is piston slap, and there's a hole somewhere in the engine where the oil is coming out. Have a mechanic look at it to see if the whole engine is shot with a cracked block or thrown rod though. It may be less than that. Scotty
HI SCOTTY THANKS FOR SHARE ALL YOUR EXPERIENCE ;DO YOU HAVE A VIDEO HOW TO REPLACE BUSHINGS I HAVE A NISSAN 240SX DO I NEED SPECIAL TOOLS MY EMAIL IS ivanespii@yahoo.com thanks IVAN
@Sarita26iv not bushing per se, but I have one showing how to replace a lower control arm as the bushing don't come off on a lexus so you change the whole arm. just go to the scottykilmer channel and type in the search "replacing a lower control arm." Scotty
@KLuce6 you hook up a scan computer and see what the code is, then fix that problem. Or you remove the dash and take the bulb out of the light. Scotty
ive got a e36 (auto :( ) and when its in park sometimes it idles high and revs itself.. it does so very occaisionaly in drive. how do i stop it? is it an idle control valve?
@Ahya728 it can be a Couple of things 1 spark plugs 2 Engine mounts 3 Ignition distributor Not working well 4 Low Turns of the engine in neutral And that is just tightening a screw in the car.
twenty some odd dollars isnt much for a site that could save thousands. which would you choose, twenty dollars for all you need A YEAR or thousands of dollars for one thing

Scotty, I have been watching youtube videos all day, everyday, for the last 2 weeks. I have found 2 mechanics on here that I enjoy and you are one of them. Your short response time coupled with your real world attitude and humor makes you a respectable man. Thanks for all your efforts! Keep it up!
Scotty, I have a 1996 Ford F150 that won't pass inspection because my check engine light is on and the code P0118 appears when i plug in a scanner. I replaced the sending unit for my temperature gauge along with the housing and the code is still there. Any suggestions?
@BIoodThirst55 I have one suggestion, after the repair, did you reset the engine codes? The old days it took unhooking the battery but the newer II models require a reset signal sent from the code reader. We had the emissions board go out 3000 miles within the end of the warranty (whew) but thats where I learnt about that annoying engine light. You may have already tried it but sometimes the obvious isnt so obvious.
@KarstonLikesMustangs It's information, if you want to fix your car and save money, use this system. And if you complain about 29 bucks a year, you're so cheap you shouldn't be driving a car in the first place. scotty
Sir Scotty, I badly need your help. I have a 2003 civic Honda that’s already 15 days in the car shop. Its cranking and all other parts are in good condition.
Is it maybe because I have change the original alarm of my car to a new alarm? Do I need reprogram my car?
@karlorojo It could be an alarm problem, and if so, I'd disconnect your add on alarm and see if it starts then. NEVER put one alarm system over another. Scotty
if you're a backyard mechanic/do it yourself individual go to e-bay and pick up a CD-ROM usually cheap depending on make and model you'll get detail info on your vehicle.
I own a Honda accord and a prelude and my gf has a corolla I got repair manuals on CD-ROM for 8.99 with thousand of pages of info. they are called Helms manuals. anyway folks of the net just search the web you can download these manuals for free if you know where to look or spend the 8.99
My mechanic teacher at my school has All Data. Its the best program I ever used, ever since I started using that thing, I wanted to fix more cars!!! I used it to repair numerous things on my car the 97 Oldsmobile 88, and other teacher & students cars. Its super easy.
Constructive Crit here.. The intro and the outro of all your vids makes me and possibly many others think ":S what was the point of that ?'. It gives off the impression that your just trying to show off with your vehicles
@pojnx Get a sense of humour. They're not even my vehicles, they are vehicles I'm testing out for manufacturers. They are fun, and if you don't like em. don't watch em. It's a free world and you are a boring turd. Scotty
@shuan44 Modern cars are VERY complex, and often serious information is needed to fix them, hence I use All Data. Stuff like brake jobs, fan belts, spark plugs, you don't need such info. But you need it for complex stuff, that's for sure. Scotty
@stigmatic79 Twenty dollars for great car repair information is a deal if you plan on fixing your own car and saving money. Mechanics pay 2500 dollars a year for such information. You live in some fantasy land. Scotty
@stigmatic79 Have you been at any auto parts store lately? They want 24.99 for ONE book. $20 sounds like a pretty good deal to me. You never waste time looking for that one page you JUST SAW with what you are looking for, the pages never get all full of oil and if they do, you just print out another. I don't get it, how can you lose?
I have a question for my pickip truck it has a problem that i dont what is. when i shift down to D and peddla the gas it dos not go like normal it would go mmmmmmmmmmmm bum stars to go fast because i accelerate all the way bottom because it gont go it just goes mmmmmmmmmmmmmm pum. what do you think.
@Fmiguelify Many things can cause an engine not to take off correctly, but weak fuel pumps or clogged fuel filters are number one on the list. so check that first. Scotty
Everything I've learned how to fix on Audi, Alfa Romeo, BMW, Mercedes, Land Rover, etc... have been found free online (never used ALLDATA). I've owned and repaired many cars and others.
@chironasty It is a pay web site. If you plan on saving thousands repairing your own car, paying twenty something bucks for this information is quite a deal. Scotty
@moe354sa You can save money by selling it and getting a Toyota that is better made. If you want to keep it running though, change the oil a lot and don't overheat the engine on the temperature gauge. And don't drive it like a maniac. Scotty Kilmer
Hmm. The only thing, and I mean only thing, I find odd about this.. is this doesn't explain how the AC I've ever had operates. It's always been a system I just turn on to whatever fan speed I want, with a temp setting seemingly changing the temp of the incoming air. But it's just a dumb on/off system.. it never auto-shuts off or anything like that.
Does that just mean I've always had non-computer driven AC systems? Newest car I've owned was a 2006 Pontiac G6, it was like that too. Thanks!
@MonolithTyriss Oh, even those babies are computer operated. Those switches don't go directly to the Ac system, they go to a computer that decides what to do. EVEN an 81 toyota corolla had computer assisted AC. Scotty
Website is not FREE! It is 24.95 for each car and add extra 16.95 for additional cars. You have to pay it every year to access. Basicly you are buying owners manual of your car.
@jujutube123 Hey, what a cheapskate you are. Yes, in life, many things are NOT free. But the information you get from this site is going to save you hundreds if not thousands of dollars performing your own repairs. and it is a LOT better than an owner's manual as it has updated technical service bulletins and full wiring diagrams. And if you don't think that's worth money, you don't know much about repairing at all. Scotty Kilmer
@farzini2 Why, I was just there last week visiting my parents on the American side and the falls on the Canadian side. I graduated from York University in 1975, so I know a bit about Canada. Scotty Kilmer
love the site use it at school all the time. alldata rocks but you didnt mention that it is rather expensive unless you pay for only one car. my teacher told us it cost 2000 with school discount for all of the cars. one kid did buy a subscription for his lancer and said it was only 50. is this right?
well i have a 94 honda civic ex 1.6 engine and when i took it to firestone they charged me alot of money for a sensor i needed and at then end the problem was still there, they told me it was because i needed a new computer since the previous owners got a new engine for the car. im guessing the person who worked on the engine didnt install a new computer so it has different kinds of problems like speedometer wont work and check engine light is always on, abs light pops out
@amxgamer and it kind of rumbles and has a hard time warming up in the mornings or any time, for instance if i leave my car for an hour or two i have to warm it up again.
If they put in an engine from a different year civic, Good luck trying to get it running right. Computers, sensors, and wiring changes every year. Trying to make the wrong engine work in a different car can be impossible in some cases. It will just be an endless money pit trying to figure out what's wrong, and there is no book that will tell you how to do it. NEVER swap parts from different year cars. Your only hope is to find someone who did that and found out all the things to change. Scotty
i see what you mean and thank you but the thing is it is the right engine but it came from a different car, what i mean is the engine is probably from a different 94 civic, and even if it is a different engine but same year and everything it wont work at all?
It would have to be the same exact engine, same displacement and same cams to work right. Civics use many different engines and even a small difference will mess with the computer electronics, I see it all the time in botched attempts to get them going. scotty Kilmer
I have a daewoo matiz , very small car but gets me round. Recently the thing stoped charging so i replaced the alternator and away i went. I checked for oil leaks to make sure no oil was getting onto the alternator and all has been fine for 3 weeks The alternator is brand new. Now all of a sudden its doing it again.. Is it the alternator again or could it be something else? pleaseeee someone help :S
Many times rebuilt alternators are crap, so have it tested and replace it if it's gone bad. And of course check all the wires going to the alternator to ensure there are no shorts or cracking insulation on the wires. AND, also load test the battery, because a weak battery can destroy an alternator quickly. Scotty Kilmer
Scotty your a real pro. Today before reading this is took it all off again.. what a pain on a car like this. It was corrosion between the positive connections.. such a simple problem but i just wanted it on there.. sanded the connections and all is working.. thanks a million. i guess it takes some patients and attention to detail.
Hi scotty how can I set the timing did i need to disconect a sersor o a wire .also how to check for codes on my 93 Mercury villager minni van 3.0 engine.production date July 1993 Thank you so much
Yes, it is a US based data software company, you would need a European one, and as I don't live there, or work on cars there, I couldn't suggest one. Scotty Kilmer
There's a bulb in there that's probably burned out. remove the dash and check for a burned out bulb, then hope the circuit feeding the bulb is OK as they do go out. They don't sell fiats in that states, so no American data system will include them. Scotty Kilmer
Well, the money you'd pay a mechanic is astronomical compared to the small less than thirty bucks a year for this information. I personally us all data many times a day in my business and here giving out free information to viewers. Scotty Kilmer
It's almost free. Twenty something bucks for such information for a year is a pretty good deal. Mechanics pay over two thousand dollars a year to access all the cars on the site (instead of just one.) And it is WAY better than the printed ones. Scotty Kilmer
Well, one must consider what you would pay a mechanic to do your repairs. You are saving a ton doing it yourself, and the small fee they charge isn't much. Considering that professional mechanics use the same data base, but pay thousands a year for it, this small fee for a do it yourselfer is one heck of a bargain. Scotty Kilmer
my car wen crazy on the dashboard as i was driving it start smoking and died at me the mecanic said i was the computer so i bought a used one i didint work and it was a no money return thing ill tryit again the mecaninc said is not pasing gas is he just riping me off after all im a single mom and have no idea what he is telling me !!!!
If your dashboard did start smoking, electrical problems exist in the dash, and possibly a lot of other places. Electricity follows wires all through a vehicle, so a problem in one area can quickly spread just about anywhere in the car. Once you actually see smoke, things have gone pretty far already. It may be a true money pit trying to find all the electrical problems that exist. AND, as I've seen it many times, don't just throw in another computer, it may just burn out from other problems.
OH yea. Gee, I've answered a bunch of questions for Australians over the years. Cars are cars, they all work the same, the names may change but their operations are pretty much the same. Scotty Kilmer
I rememeber using alldata when i was talking my highschool autoshop class. It is a very useful program indeed.

@shuan44 Modern cars are VERY complex, and often serious information is needed to fix them, hence I use All Data. Stuff like brake jobs, fan belts, spark plugs, you don't need such info. But you need it for complex stuff, that's for sure. Scotty

@stigmatic79 Twenty dollars for great car repair information is a deal if you plan on fixing your own car and saving money. Mechanics pay 2500 dollars a year for such information. You live in some fantasy land. Scotty

@stigmatic79 20 bucks costs just as much as one of the books for one car, and this has EVERY car. You are a moron. Scotty is god.
crazeeluke 1 year ago
@stigmatic79 Have you been at any auto parts store lately? They want 24.99 for ONE book. $20 sounds like a pretty good deal to me. You never waste time looking for that one page you JUST SAW with what you are looking for, the pages never get all full of oil and if they do, you just print out another. I don't get it, how can you lose?

@moe354sa You can save money by selling it and getting a Toyota that is better made. If you want to keep it running though, change the oil a lot and don't overheat the engine on the temperature gauge. And don't drive it like a maniac. Scotty Kilmer
scottykilmer 1 year ago
Hmm. The only thing, and I mean only thing, I find odd about this.. is this doesn't explain how the AC I've ever had operates. It's always been a system I just turn on to whatever fan speed I want, with a temp setting seemingly changing the temp of the incoming air. But it's just a dumb on/off system.. it never auto-shuts off or anything like that.
Does that just mean I've always had non-computer driven AC systems? Newest car I've owned was a 2006 Pontiac G6, it was like that too. Thanks!
MonolithTyriss 1 year ago
@MonolithTyriss Oh, even those babies are computer operated. Those switches don't go directly to the Ac system, they go to a computer that decides what to do. EVEN an 81 toyota corolla had computer assisted AC. Scotty

scotty i need help
well i have a 94 honda civic ex 1.6 engine and when i took it to firestone they charged me alot of money for a sensor i needed and at then end the problem was still there, they told me it was because i needed a new computer since the previous owners got a new engine for the car. im guessing the person who worked on the engine didnt install a new computer so it has different kinds of problems like speedometer wont work and check engine light is always on, abs light pops out

@amxgamer and it kind of rumbles and has a hard time warming up in the mornings or any time, for instance if i leave my car for an hour or two i have to warm it up again.
amxgamer 1 year ago
If they put in an engine from a different year civic, Good luck trying to get it running right. Computers, sensors, and wiring changes every year. Trying to make the wrong engine work in a different car can be impossible in some cases. It will just be an endless money pit trying to figure out what's wrong, and there is no book that will tell you how to do it. NEVER swap parts from different year cars. Your only hope is to find someone who did that and found out all the things to change. Scotty
scottykilmer 1 year ago
i see what you mean and thank you but the thing is it is the right engine but it came from a different car, what i mean is the engine is probably from a different 94 civic, and even if it is a different engine but same year and everything it wont work at all?
amxgamer 1 year ago
It would have to be the same exact engine, same displacement and same cams to work right. Civics use many different engines and even a small difference will mess with the computer electronics, I see it all the time in botched attempts to get them going. scotty Kilmer

Scotty.. please please help..
I have a daewoo matiz , very small car but gets me round. Recently the thing stoped charging so i replaced the alternator and away i went. I checked for oil leaks to make sure no oil was getting onto the alternator and all has been fine for 3 weeks The alternator is brand new. Now all of a sudden its doing it again.. Is it the alternator again or could it be something else? pleaseeee someone help :S
ChemicalRespirator 1 year ago
Many times rebuilt alternators are crap, so have it tested and replace it if it's gone bad. And of course check all the wires going to the alternator to ensure there are no shorts or cracking insulation on the wires. AND, also load test the battery, because a weak battery can destroy an alternator quickly. Scotty Kilmer

TANQUE102030 2 years ago
No sensors to disconnect, just do this:IGNITION TIMING
Start the engine and warm it up until the water temperature indicator points to the middle of the gauge.
Operate the engine at 2000 rpm for 2 minutes under no load.
Race the engine 2 or 3 times then idle .
Check the ignition timing. Yellow mark is TDC and all other marks are 5°increments
Timing should be 15°±2°BTDC. If not proceed to step 5.
Adjust the ignition timing by turning the distributor. Scotty Kilmer

Well, one must consider what you would pay a mechanic to do your repairs. You are saving a ton doing it yourself, and the small fee they charge isn't much.

reyn0sita 2 years ago
If your dashboard did start smoking, electrical problems exist in the dash, and possibly a lot of other places. Electricity follows wires all through a vehicle, so a problem in one area can quickly spread just about anywhere in the car. Once you actually see smoke, things have gone pretty far already. It may be a true money pit trying to find all the electrical problems that exist. AND, as I've seen it many times, don't just throw in another computer, it may just burn out from other problems.
