Toyota Camry - Crank, No Start - Part I

In this video I have a look at a 2007 Toyota Camry that was towed in with a "crank, no start." It was a quick diagnosis that led us right to the problem. I didn't get the job to repair it because the option I gave the customer was a little to expensive. Either way. -Enjoy!

The same friend that put in the coil packs, fixed the cover with wire and towed it in with a lawn tractor.

I’m 61 and have tinkered with cars all my life. Since watching you I now diagnose instead of replacing parts until I get it right. Who said you can’t teach an old dog new tricks! Thanks Eric.

Well, after that wire job under the hood you know the buddy is a top notch parts replacer.

Crank no start, brake clean, test light - Don't get no better! Thanks Dr. O!

Nice, we had the doorbell and the phone, all we needed was "that guy" to honk as he drove past to complete the set. Great video

I bought the Brooklyn bridge on Ebay years ago and it's still working.

[GregoryBirulkin]

Should have checked the customers wallet gauge first. LOL

[HashiriyaSquadron]

I love watching your No start videos. Because I too love it when the customer gets their car back and they show gratitude. Even more so when others have tried and failed with their cars.

Make a string of those Fluid Film lights, hang them around your
patio when entertaining guests at your camp. Go full Hill Billy.

I enjoyed every aspect of this video. The comedy, the drama, the tension, the educational, and the roller coaster rides of emotion in between !

Just imagine if MacGyver had access to Brake Kleen. He would have taken over the world.

Guess being cheap now will bite the customer in the end. Bought an Ebay fuel pump for my f150 and a month later was dropping the tank down again to replace with a OEM. Of course they always fail when the tank is full. Lesson learned. Great video and enjoy the attention to detail with diagnosing.

This job shows why I never miss your videos Mr O., watching a pro using his common sense and basic, logical diagnosis - priceless!

[scottm]

This is why I like you Eric, you think like me. Had the problem narrowed to fuel in 5 minutes by shooting in some brake cleaner. I like Ivan from pine hollow, but he would have spent 3 hours with his scanners and wiring diagrams to find out the same thing !

[ironeagle]

Like Scotty says stick with the oem fuel pump

[nijaplaylist]

thanks Eric I am a mechanic and watching this your video add a lot to me

[rideordie]

Getting towed twice and the diagnosis. Hell that's half of the repair right there. I deal with the same thing at my shop everyday. Keep up the good work. 🚗💨🔧🐿

[jmcenterprises]

Brake clean as alternative fuel, never knew it. I need one of those spark testers. Thanks Eric O!

[DieselBricks]

Oh my god, a Toyota broke down, must be the a serious note, straightforward diagnosis and ease of access to components that are realistically going to need changing at least once in the vehicle's life, that's what makes a logical buy. On a less serious note, how many miles can a Camry do to a can of brake clean?

I love these videos. I keep them on in the background while working my office job. I'm not a mechanic, or even that handy, but videos like these help me do some standard maintenance jobs, and know a bit more about what I should look for in a good mechanic.
