A secret mechanics don't want you to know! DTC P0171 Quick and easy way to find vacuum leaks!!

[@Cocora22]

Yes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Refreshing to see there are a few good and honest mechanics out there, just wish you were near me!!!

[@wrandojoe4121]

Thank you. From 2 days , I have the same problem , and tomorrow I am going to see the inlet hose if it is broken. In any case thank you to give informations on line that can make us to save some money.

[@bobtomes4977]

Great to see there is honest People out there Like yrself trying to help.THANK YOU.

[@robertmeyer4580]

If you study the communication procedures that the vehicles system computers use to talk to each other, it's easy to see why multiple lights go on. They train us in this, SO that we Don't overcharge customers, and only charge to fix the actual problems. Not every mechanic wants to rip you off. Most of us believe in an honest way of making a living.

[@ramonperez6767]

Thanks for your time and help. I will try to fix my poor car. Thanks again.

[@lupegarza7836]

What app is that? And how do I get that Bluetooth adapter to read car?

[@rapidone607]

The OBD2 Dongle you are using, what Brand is it??

[@johnlee3675]

Thank you George! This helped me clear all the indicator lights! My wife wanted to take it to the dealer. I think you just saved us a lot of money. My code was different from yours but clearing the code, cleared all the lights.

[@michaelgeorgebunny]

oh no

[@AlwaysLearningtoTeach]

The codes will only clear for a while, then come back on if you do t fix the problem. Happening to me right now.

[@chrissmith-oq5nq]

Got a link to that smoke machine?

[@Vinman833]

You should definitely change your wordage to most mechanics. Because there is some mechanics out there that will tell the truth and I am one of them

[@paktra6629]

What is the significance of the "i" indicator above the gear lever indicator on the dashboard? I've seen it both in red and yellow. Sometime I see it associated with maybe a low fuel caution light or a seat belt warning light. But again, why would we need that "i" in either red or yellow?

[@danielsowers4310]

What smoke machine do you recommend?

[@yuriyfitak6942]

Any advice on my 2012 Subaru forester miss fire on all cylinders. It's not spark plugs or coils. After clearing codes it has hard time starting

[@BLACKDRAGON-mi1sw]

Ccan you kindly post link on where you get your smoke machine please. Thank you kindly.

[@basedocean5262]

If I don’t have a smoke machine can I vape thru the hose

[@hansknutson2327]

Damm you got an idea There !

[@SLUNAB41]

What’s the name of the App to check codes Wireless?

[@cocacolagrl100]

Does a vacuum leak always pull codes.?? My catalytic converter failed on my Subaru with 53,000 miles and I’m wondering about that .

[@alexzholnero4470]

I like your smoke machine!!!

[@thunderbirdone8126]

I would epoxy that leak and not buy that expensive part that will crack again

[@MichaelCWBell]

Yeah wow man nice idea with the smoke because I’ve seen in another video how many possible places/hoses may be cracked or loose.

[@automotivediagramsreading9711]

You are right about an engine code can cause any other light. But been professional also mean to run a full scan on all modules avoiding any come back and not overcharging a customer..

[@izcoronel]

George I need help what are the main cause of ASR light to come on besides ABS sensor test any input very much appreciated more power to your channel and very much thanks for helping DIY'S

[@SLUNAB41]

Where can I purchase a smoke machine & air hose?

[@vh1984ful]

Thanks my friend!

[@RussellBooth1977]

I'm sure some mechanics don't want me knowing a lot of things,I'd probably with super glue the inlet duct together or use use polyurethane cement to glue it together. Last week,a P0171 code was triggered by a split O ring on the fuel filler cap,even though my Holden Commodore runs basically the Chevrolet LS1 V8 engine from the Camaro,the P0442 code is irrelevant in Australia since Holden didn't fit a fuel tank pressure sensor !

[@CHIBA280CRV]

Fantastic advice thank you sir 👍

[@heatherrhodge2588]

I saw your video about using a jumper wire in the DLC socket for 30 mins to make Toyota immobilizer accept new PCM...would that trick work with an 05 Acura TSX?! It uses iso9141-2 protocol BTW. My PCM got so corroded that some IC pins disintegrated! The EEPROM appears damaged as well so I won't be able to go that route. That video wasn't accepting comments so that's why im asking here.

[@melniksmotors]

No

[@jrod7017]

What brand smoke machine? There are many!! ! Thanks, brother.

[@miriamvivo4279]

Much thanks for the heads up george

[@afnanyaqoob5500]

Alright thanks for letting us know. But what causes when we get fuel system Rich..! Or oxygen a f sensor pumping current circuit low am stuck in its lexus Hs200h 2.4 hybrid 2014

[@GabyBobocea]

Tks man 👨 . Appreciate your Videos they help me allot...

[@INSPIRE_OTHERS_94]

Where are you located..?

[@17buckweak]

I have a check engine light trac light vsc light on my Lexus rx350 all at the same time what can that be

[@pedromunoz3879]

Good information on

[@MrRangerZr1]

What scantool is that?

[@TheAmazingM26]

Launch x431

[@fredkoch4659]

It's always disappointing to know that something like a check engine light can run you hundreds of bucks in unnecessary troubleshooting. If it ends up having multiple codes then by all means check out the culprits. I remember in tech school learning about CV joint boot replacement. A simple split boot fix was all that was needed yet we were told that we could charge the customer for removing the axle as if we were putting a one piece boot on it.

[@stevenstuart3807]

Thanks brotha! I hate slimy upsellers.

[@kevinlee5122]

Awesome job, nice and honest. I wonder if JB Weld would work and last.

[@fredkoch4659]

Theres also some great plastic epoxies that will work great. I would rough up the mating surfaces so the epoxy gets a solid bond.

[@adenmarshall2148]

Which app you use to clear the codes?

[@Rick-kq2vg]

I would like to that also

[@TheAmazingM26]

Launch x431 I found it on Amazon

[@franklingonzalez6177]

Can post you machine smoke please

[@tckenbob7572]

Good find on the vacuum leak. 👍 The mechanics probably call you because going into one module and not scanning all modules does not tell you the health of the network which may cause the other lights to come on. I don’t know what the drive cycle is for that vehicle but the trip counts have got to be more than one ignition cycle, but I could be wrong.

[@ae111black]

Most likely 3

[@tobyreynaga8549]

I have same problem like Christmas tree nobody can find the problem one of my rear speed sensor was bad i replaced and all the lights are gone

[@Sashkotheweird]

Thank you!

[@LilBethy]

[@lisabarrett745]

Thaaaaaaaaank U!!!! 💕 💋

[@miriamvivo4279]

Still have the po448 on my sti

[@viktorponkratov3213]

👍👍👍

[@erikbrodin2198]

So the secret is that by clearing the stored codes using a scan tool, after one ignition cycle, you will have cleared the stored codes. Hmm.

[@americatoken3334]

they charge 231$ for diagnose and did not find issue they said might be fuel pump

[@JohnJRambo-zi5fi]

i took my car to a shop with p0171 light turned off while he was doing the test i have no vacuum leaks and he said all the numbers look normal. my check engine light comes on for a couple days the off then back on then off

[@alvarogonzalez8471]
