The whole neighborhood decided to put Halloween decorations outside their house. I put a Chrysler out in the front yard with a bowl of candies next to it. No one dares to get close to it they all run away.

I had a faulty PCV valve, it functioned just okay but it did allow some backflow and was quite dirty. I also had a potentially faulty MAF sensor, and a p0171 code. Between replacing those two and the spark plugs, my 100, 000 mile 2.4l 2AZ-FE runs like the day it came out of the factory.

Well done Scotty you're always on top of things that should be appreciated. Even old dogs like myself learn a thing or two from you. I've been working on cars since I was 14, that was 63 years ago. But I'm more into the older cars the newer ones with all the electronic stuff in it, are not my cup of tea. That's why it's a treat watch someone who is kept up-to-date. You sure know your stuff. So say I, Moses of Englewood Chicago. By the way happy Halloween. Also missed your birthday a little while back sorry about that. Happy birthday!!!

Instead of giving out candy for Halloween he gives out Toyota Celicas

I like the Lucas fuel injector cleaner because it's oil based and it lubricates the injectors and the fuel pump

Im going dress up as Scotty for Halloween

Love these videos. Replaced all plugs, cap and rotor, coil, and wires in my truck and magically the misfiring and running on half an engine went away. No more smelling fuel when starting cold and taking 10 miles to warm up enough to start firing the other cylinders with a weak spark. Looks like this old truck will make it to 300k

If you watch all of Scotty's videos, you should be able to get a degree in auto mechanics! This guy knows so much about vehicles and that's a lot of knowledge! Smart man!

I always check for codes first. If I'm out without a scan tool I'll pop the hood and look for hoses or connectors swinging in the breeze. I wish more cars would display codes. They give you a 7" color display that can pull audio and video from orbiting satellites but it can't show you the data in the box sitting next to it.

Scotty I love these videos the most, where you start from scratch on a puzzle and work us through the solution, step by fascinating step. THANK YOU!

[AP-boif]

you can also improve your idle and engine motility by putting a defibrillator inside the catalytic converter.

Love your latest where you show a diagnostic & repair!
The good old days of a carb. This issue was nearly always the choke. The 442 had a worn out mechanical choke pull down spring. Super easy fix.

[trajanaugustus]

Love those older RAV4's. That one is the same year and color of one I had until the bottom rusted out on it. Loved that old RAV4 4wd/5sp. Took me through a lot of mud and snow back in the day. Even had the LSD in the rear along with the outdoor package (whatever that meant) good vehicle.  Older RAV's (1994-2005) were the best.

[marcusjnewtonz]

Scotty you have saved me a lot of money in car repairs with your videos. To that I say thank you.

[charlestatakis]

Another great video, on the spot. Many sensors truly only last twenty years or less. My 2002 has needed scanning and sensor replacement, so has my 2007. O2 and temp thermistor sensors should be checked for accuracy every year. They're cheap, easy to install.

[richardtuffnell]

I went to three different mechanics to try to fix my car, all three ripped me off, found scottys channel on how to do a OB1 test got the codes and solved the problem, thanks scotty, I just wish I'd found you sooner.

[peacefulmind]

Been using seafoam for years and recommending it, it has actually turned a lot of check engine lights off. PEA does not always mean anything, a lot goes into cleaning the fuel system like lubrication as well as gunk removal! :)

[rizzlerazzleuno]

Wonderful, but using logic it would have made more sense to start with the things on the car that measure temperature, since the problem was a temperature sensitive problem. Start with the code reader. Even with pre-computer control and carburetors if there is a cold start problem, check to see which engine items are affected by temperature. The good old thermostatic choke and the heat riser control valve were often the problem. Outside of California many folks just scrapped that automatic stuff and installed a manual controlled choke and cable....very popular JC Whitney item.
Keep warm Scotty. Denim keeps you in style with Jay. 🙂
