Thank you for a shorter video. I know you don't have a choice with some because of the complexity of the repair but if you want feedback:
0-15 min: will watch almost anything
15-25 min: I'm gonna have to be interested in the subject at hand.
30+ min: I've got to have that exact repair issue going on.
1 hour+: ain't no way
I will add this. I'm not in the business. I watch to pick up ideas for fixing my own vehicles and for the sheer entertainment and good-natured ways of Eric and family.

I constantly have the SES light on and only pull the misfire in first 1000 rpm code. Engine runs fine no misfires after startup. I blame the crappy ethanol gas and pay no attention to that light anymore. Now if the Check engine light comes on then there's a real issue. I call the SES light the dealership needs more money light. Should not even be used since it's so misleading.

I stuffed up a speed sensor in my Holden VY SS Commodore when I tried to remove a ball joint with one of those fork shaped ball joint removal tools.
I eventually got one of those 3 jaw ones with the bolt in it.
I had to replace the whole wheel bearing & hub assembly as the speed sensor comes with all of that as a sealed unit!

Congrats on the 500k.
Side note kia used the right front wheel speed sensor for vehicle speed and also used it to determine if the vehicle was traveling on a rough road.
So a bad sensor on those vehicles could cause misfires also(from experience.
Thanks for the videos eric. I have learned a lot from them.

Just watched the destroyers in a bmw, now time for the mechanic that dreads a car from those boys lol
Also at about 8 mins where you said about other manufacturers frequences does it really increase that much per 10 miles per hour?
From 30 to 300 hz in 10 mph increments?
Always enjoy your vids buddy

Morning Eric. I'm your 338th thumb up. Another cool video. Nice to see Kia didn't run the horn through a damn computer. And over 500, 000 subs! Wonder how many are locals who came for the videos, and stayed for the repairs? Thanks for sharing your knowledge with us.

I had a 2007 with a manual trans. and even though there wouldve been nothing left of me in a bad accident, it was a runner. Sold it at 180K--it was just a baby at that mileage.
I was quite surprised. Kia has come a loooooong way since the 90s garbage.

That horn circuit is exactly the way they all should be. There is zero reason to have a black box in the circuit. Automakers put in black boxes in many cases because they CAN, not because they SHOULD.

Hi Eric, Great video and Congrats on half a million subs! But what happened to the rest of the repairs on the Buick Roadmaster? Still hoping to see what's up with the gas gauge.
