I wish you labeled these informative videos differently from regular ones. Love both. But like knowing which I’m choosing.

i like resetting the gas mileage counter right before I start a stretch of downhill highway .. then I marvel and celebrate the 99.9 MPG reading (I'm easily amused)

The most important sensor is a driver with common sense when driving

[frankclackum]

So, exactly what was it that I could do to double my gas mileage make my engine last longer?

[zacharypeery]

I recently removed and cleaned the MAF sensor after I was having surges in rpm while driving 50+ MPH after I cleaned it and installed it, car is running like a champ

[robbchastain]

I personally prefer the simplicity of those '70s-era vehicles. The fuses were easy to replace and there were no sensors snitching on everything.

dad has a 65 gmc panel. 305e v6. we cant kill it. no sensers. its got over 600k. change oil. its a tank. maybe gm made things right back then

A friend had an intermittent malfunction. The engine would cut at random times. After a 10mn wait, it would start. His local mechanic said it was the injectors that had to be changed for a small fortune (didn't make sense to me). The Peugeot dealer, having the monopoly of the proprietary equipment, wanted to charge him 500 euro just to plug in his diagnostics computer. We bought a Chinese knockoff and plugged it into the OBD2 that just gave us an error code number because it was a nonstandard alarm. We looked it up on the internet, it was a sensor in the fuel filter that detects water and cuts the injection pump to protect it. If he went over a bumpy road, the water that had decanted at the bottom of the fuel filter would mix and the sensor would detect it and cut the injection pump. Waiting 10mn, the water would settle at the bottom of the fuel filter and the car would start. Cost of repairs, a 50 Euro diesel filter. I am glad my VW 1.9 tdi just uses a simple diesel filter, no sensors, that I change every 2 oil changes. I also drain a little of it every now and then. In our humid and variable weather, we can get a lot of water condensation in the fuel tanks. On planes, part of preflight checks is to purge water from the wing tanks. I do it every time before flights.

The best sensor ever developed is a qualified person behind the steering wheel. JMO.

[stevetrusler]

I'd happily go back to pre-sensor days. I understood everything I was looking at and most repairs to mechanical systems could be done by the average home mechanic in his own driveway.

[genericdude]

The more "improvements" they make the more problems can occur.

[itsyaboi]

Idk how knowing about car sensors will get me 2x the gas mileage on my car but it was informative nonetheless

[mutantryeff]

Sensors increase the failure rates for the vehicle.

[russellhancock]

Oh for the good old days when a car would run without all of that stuff.

[jonleaver]

Scotty Kilmer I am not mechanically inclined. I love your videos, you explain things very well. I greatly appreciate your content, please keep it coming. Thank you Scotty

I used to have a JKU that was eating wheel speed sensors. In 2017 I bought a JKU & lifted it as you do. About 4 months later, the traction control light came on & I lost cruise control driving from LA to Bakersfield. My OBD2 said it was a wheel speed sensor, so I replaced it. 2 weeks later, the sensor went out again, so I cleaned it & greased the connections. It was fine for about a month till it happened again. After chasing the problem, I found it was a bad wire all the way up the line. I replaced the sensor & the wireing harness to it.
I also had a 98 Dodge Dakota that had the transmission input & output sensor go bad when the crank shaft sensor died at the same time. I ignored it because I was broke & the whole thing sized up.

We are going to have a Generation that start their vehicle with a touch on their Cell Phones & never have to know how to drive a car or pick up truck. Yes this is great for the Disabled. I am so thankful I have a Pick Up Truck with a few lights that go on the Dash Board if something is up. Just not hard wired for every sensor they can put on. Have a friend that cost a fortune to replace a few sensors on his car. Just to much. Thankful I have been driving since I was 10 years old & there is never an issue with put'n a key in the start & shiifting gears & driving. What a world today we have!

The computer chips used in cars are some of the least expensive made. Thank you Scotty.
