I changed someones battery out in an Autozone parking lot today. I felt a lil like Scotty, just a lil 😁👍🏻

[liveandletlive]

Lol "that's dirty" that was prob the cleanest throttle body I've ever seen

[davidwiley]

My check engine light turn on one day and I took it over to a company to scan it. Code came up with the mass flow sensor problem. We looked how much for each one. I was shocked at 239.99 each and not in stock. I ran out the door and looked up Scotty. Man I tell you what, I want to Walmart they had a $20.00 kit for throttle body and mass flow sensor cleaner. Sent an hour and took both intakes off to clean the throttle body’s. Then took the sensors off the intakes and sprayed cleaned both sensors. I walked away for 15 min and checked my work all parts were clean and dry. Put everything back together and took for a 5 min test drive. Check engine light as soon as I came off the drive way and a year later has not returned. Thanks Scotty!!! You saved me hundreds of dollars

Two points I would like to make. #1, I cleaned my MAF sensor and my gas mileage improved substantially. Also, my car does run better as a result. Totally worth it, but you have to buy MAF cleaner and ONLY use that. You can damage the MAF sensor using anything else. Point #2, what Scotty does to clean the throttle is technically OK, It would be a better idea to remove the throttle from the engine so you clean it more effectively. This also helps reducing the possibility of crud and dirt entering into the engine when you spray. Just a warning about the throttle, most cars have an electronically controlled throttle like my car (2007 Mazda 6). If I were to push on the throttle like Scotty does to clean the inside, I would destroy my throttle since the throttle is calibrated to to a certain position by the car's computer. Make sure you check if you can manually push your throttle open, otherwise removing it from the vehicle is a better way to clean it.

OMG.. Thank you Scotty, My car was running like crap, and the check engine was on. I used both of the CRC cleaners and my car is running excellent! I did this on the 4th and I really feel like I got my freedom back! No more cruddy mechanics for me! Thanks so much Scotty, U rock! God Bless You!

Please take note that if you clean your mass air flow sensor you cannot clean it with brake cleaner. You have to use a mass air flow sensor spray., it doesn’t leave residue behind such as brake cleaner, which could potentially give inaccurate readings.

Scotty your dope, I been learning how to work on my 2003 Infiniti M45 it's a pain not knowing what is what. You've definitely taught me alot. About to change the head gasket, radiator, and spark plugs. When you can't afford a mechanic, as long as you have military like attention to detail you can do it.
Thanks Scotty.

[Robert-efwm]

Went out and bought the CRC cleaners and did this. I'm noticing better response, really appreciate these videos.

[SophieBird]

I’m a 67 yr old Grandma, and I am learning so much from you. I might not do the work, but I know what to ask about now.

[greggh.]

Yes. I been changing my oil every 5000 miles, air filter 10k and basic maintenance. Just passed 300, 000 miles on my '05 Chevy Colorado, I-5 cyl. Still running strong. Easy to do. Thanks for all your info.

[cordinate]

thank you, Scotty and same to u! I just wanted to say that all the dislikes on ur videos are people who own Chevy or any other American brand car, period! I cant understand how anybody could not love Scotty Kilmer channel and him, amazing guy! God bless u Scotty!

[angelbluerider]

scotty best youtuber mechanic and mechanic in the world!!!

[stephengibson]

I cleaned up the MAF, it was almost black. Also did the Mass Sensor. Idle went from 700 to 1000 rpm, no more hesitation, running great.

[MJrocs]

Scotty, you might want to tell people not to use a pressure sprayer to clean off the bugs on the condenser or radiator just a garden hose because it could damage could damage the fins. Now how would I know that.

[jamesbockenstette]

Cleaning the AC coil is a significant positive measure. It helps to use a water solution of dish detergent to clean the coils. Rinse with the water hose. A soft bristle brush can help remove bugs trapped in the coil fins.

[simonjohnhinton]

Mine has a m.a.p sensor which requires a little care when cleaning. Car runs smoother as a result. Had a duff injector which made the 02 sensor stop switching, ecu detected misfire on cylinder 3 so replaced injector and cleaned the sensor and low and dehold it started switching again. It's amazing how one fault can lead to many. A scanner and a bit of detective work does wonders. Love your advice scotty.

[johnsee]

Can't say anything that has not already been said but... Keep up the good work Scotty!

[jackvalley]

That was great info Scotty, thanks so much for the reminders to keep things checked for preventative maintenance, you're the

[skyedew]

Thanks! My pickup was running rough at low RPM, mostly during acceleration but also at highway speed. Cleaning the throttle body did the trick.
