Hello I had a similar trouble with an Audi A4 1. 8Turbo petrol. The temperature sensor for the cooling liquid was reading wrong the outside temperature. ECU responded with a rich condition when outside were 18-35 Celsius degrees. When the outside temperatures got to 15 Celsius degrees it started to work good again. I replaced the sensor. It costed 6 bucks. :) The mechanics were in a dillema about diagnosing the trouble. I changed first the coils, and the transmission with the water pump, the intercooler radiator, the petrol filter, the air and oil filter. . They had troubles to diagnose the cooling liquid temperature sensor. Thank's for the tips, sir

Scotty Kilmer I have a 1996 acura tl, with a 3. 2 l v6, it reads multiple misfire codes and random multiple misfire, i have replaced spark plugs, coils, air filter, and checked for vaccum leaks the spark plugs have oil on them so im going to replace the valve cover gaskets and spark plug tube gaskets, if that doesnt work any guess to what to check next, it will crank and run, but idles rough, engine shakes, and total loss of power so bad it hesitates to shift or rev into higher rpms, if you floor it ot just sputters and slowly spits up as it does

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

Hi scotty, always a fan of your videos. I gave a question regarding my car. It's a 2006 Pontiac grand prix, I'm not getting heat out of my vents. I did a coolant flush, heater core flush, changed the thermostat and sensor. I have no leaks and all hoses are hot after warming up. But still no hit air coming through the vents. I'm going to change the blend door actuator but before I do that I wanted to shes if you think its anything else or just get your opinion over all. Any advice will help, thank you

I am retired and drive less than 5K miles a year. And little of that is stop and go; I avoid rush hour. So long term reliability is not so important--by the time my car hits 100K miles, I'll probably be in the ground. I've always bought practical cars and babied them. I want a car that's more fun to drive. I'm considering a turbo Mazda CX-5, or maybe a low mileage Lexus RX350. I ski, so AWD and room for equipment in the back would be nice. What do you think?

That Toyota RAV4 is over 22 years old and still looks in good cosmetic condition. The engine and all the mechanical components also look in good shape too. Just a sensor replacement and some fuel injector cleaner and it looks ready to go for another decade. Toyota vehicles were tanks in the late 20th century but are now toys in the 21st century. How some mighty have fallen or tripped.

If someone could help I would really appreciated. I have a 2003 Volkswagen Jetta 1. 8t. My car dies out of nowhere if I drive it for at least 20 minutes. There is no check engine light or code and its not the battery or alternator. Once my car dies only the battery light turns on and then disappears when the car starts again and once in awhile my car engine light comes and goes.

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.

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.
