There’s no need to defend the way you run your channel. You’re doing an excellent job.

[@paulpaquette1961]

I'll second that. Very good job!

[@kevinbent7655]

I'll third that as well, I appreciate what you do, your honesty is what matter, keep fighting for our industry bro

[@nservice1625]

Diagnosing is NOT a race. It's all about accuracy while maintaining efficiency. Who cares if the guy next to you is faster, as long as you are accurate, it really doesn't matter how you came up with the answer.

[@ZoomAutoDiag]

Wouldn't worry about losing a viewer for not liking your style. I watch you to see your techniques and to support you as a fellow diag tech. I enjoy the teaching aspect of what you do. Haters gonna hate and waiters gonna wait!

[@brivas86]

There is a huge problem in this field with punching down. Your dedication to doing the right thing everytime is something that I personally love. The day I fix a car and don’t care to understand why is the day I lose. Keep doing what you are doing, your loyal fans appreciate it 10000%. I was just at Super Saturday and they talked about how we want to be treated like professionals but don’t act as such. You’ll never go to a doctor and have them say that your previous provider was a “hack,idiot”. They act as professionals. And we must too!

[@htownblue11]

Mario, you are a top tier professional in your field. While some fools may critique, you simply overwhelm the audience with scientific evidence and sound tactical approaches. Please don’t ever listen to those beneath your professional level….I for one envy your skills and knowledge and always learn when watching you.

[@PleasantAutomotive]

Excellent video. I like where you are going with finding the root cause of failure. My first automobile instructor was an absolute genius, and his fundamentals ring true to this day. He preached "Go with what you know", and less famous but still relevant "Don't pop the hood before you know what's wrong with the car."

[@mikechiodetti4482]

I like that scope. It's quick, shows the problem, your in, your out, budda boom, budda bing!

[@8power0]

MARIO , PLEASE DON'T WORRY ABOUT THE ONES WHO SAY YOU'RE VIDEOS ARE TO LOAD THEY CAN NOT BE REACHED ANYMORE WITH THEIR DIAGNOSTIC HABITS , IF YOU ASK ME I THINK THEY ARE AFRAID OF THE SCOPE . PLEASE MARIO CONTINUE WITH THE WAY YOU PRESENT YOUR VIDEOS THEY HAVE HELPED SO MANY WHO WANTS TO LEARN THANKS AGAIN FOR YOUR TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@TheBeamerGuy_]

I feel like scope usage is the road less traveled because it takes a long time to master. You really have to know your craft well to be able to analyze data properly. The introduction of the scope in my diagnostic routine has ignited a whole new fire in me. Just when I felt stagnant in my career I realized there is so much more to know. I look back at all my misdiagnoses in the past a realize how this took could have saved me. Keep going Mario your helping guys like me push to a new level in their careers.

[@thesmartguy3523]

What scope did you start with ? And what would you recommend

[@edwinlomonaco6754]

Once again I learn something new. Although I'm aware of everything you explained here. And my diagnostic practices mirror yours. I did not know that tool existed. So I will now buy one and add it to my arsenal.

[@misterhandy5121]

Mario, us that follow you to learn thank you and appreciate when you explain things to us. don't let the haters affect the way you do things because you are the man! Thank you for your awesome videos!

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

Dude that ignition analyzer is pretty slick! You mentioned a lean condition could lead to premature coil failure... Wouldn't that lean condition cause either a partial misfire or maybe a "fuel trim imbalance" code? What did the spark plug look like? 🙂

[@bluejayoutpost9170]

Hi there Pine Hollow~Enjoy your evening and great comment too

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

Not always, you know that lol Lean conditions aren't always on a single cylinder, sometimes it's a small vacuum leak, or pcv valve issue that causes premature ignition coil wear

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

Oh, btw, gdi always run slightly leaner, spark plugs will read accordingly

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

@@SuperMarioDiagnostics very interesting! Would the PCM not compensate for that and set a lean code if the mixture is too far out of spec?

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

Most of the time but Not always, sometimes it'll set only high idle rpm codes

[@Car_Doc24]

Mario, plain and simple you don't need validation from back seat drivers and Monday morning quarterbacks. You do you, keep up the good work. You got this.

[@ADVANCEDLEVELAUTO]

That ignition analyzer is pretty cool. Way quicker then setting up my labscope. I might have to get me one.

[@RR-bt5xv]

why are you worried about the negative peeps you are blessing us with your knowledge and most of us appreciate it

[@High_Tech_Mountain]

That ignition analyzer is saweeeet! Super fast! I love scoping because it’s a visual representation not only for the tech but also for the customer! As always brother. Thank you for taking the time and making//sharing these videos!

[@ZoomAutoDiag]

I've seen some of those standalone units and I've been tempted just for the simplicity! I do my best to make due with what I got for now. Someday 💯

[@Gmansour1971]

The person or people that question your way got their answer. Those good and not so good questions in a way are really essential because they allow us to step back and critique our own work. Just to assure you, you are one of the best online automotive teachers out there, right up there with scannerdanner and diagnose dan. Now on the other hand, if the questions are coming from an ignorant anti-scoper type, then I suggest the following prayer/wish for them. May you find yourself in a very/extremely busy shop that you don't own, that only fixes brakes and exhausts. Amen

[@thestubbornbulldog6964]

Couch Diag: “you’re taking forever, dude!” Mario: *insert Michael Jordan meme here* “That’s when I took it personally.” I appreciate your content, my friend! The more you explain the more it helps - let other bozos misdiagnose.

[@marksplace]

Someone who understands what you are talking about and tries to learn from you would never argue with you. They might try to help out in some cases if they've seen a certain situation before, and vise versa - they would try to collaborate with you. Why, becuse they understand the great deal of complexity that surrounds the automotive field these days. It's the known it alls that no nothing. Keep up the good work my friend.

[@alreadydead86]

The Ignition analysis allows you to visually see what the problem is so you have identified the issue quickly and the swap of coils will be a second confirmation and the customer and you will be confident in the repair.

[@weldingjunkie]

great video showing how fast you can diag =. i have one of those i love it. nothing worse than burning out a driver with swapping coils on some cars. dangerous to play that game sometimes.

[@scientist100]

Indeed; though the PCM would be far gone now with two misfires and also would know that the coil caused the short because it wasn't there before and then you'd make the right call by selling the coil and the PCM. Win win unless the customer denies and now it has 2 misfires instead of 2; oops 😬

[@SuperMarioDiagnostics]

I definitely wouldn't swap the coil if i didn't see coil command due to the destroyed driver

[@shakeelsss]

I watched the TST Mike V. Video more than still need to do a few more times. When it comes the Jim Morton not yet but will do in a few minutes. Thanks for the educational video.

[@ThunderbirdRocket]

SOLID ADVICE ! Good choices for the diagnostic stream you presented to us . Thanks for the important lesson !!

[@BrianMann216]

Nice job Mario! The more viewers we have the more doubters like to knock the tools that they don't understand. I appreciate all that you do showing others how to have a solid diagnostic process.

[@jakemartin4305]

I am a foreman at a heavy duty truck shop and i have 2 techs under me and i tell them all the time when you make a call that if you are not willing to out you paycheck on it then keep testing, i believe that going to the customer with 100% confidence in our diag is better then beibg the shop with quick turn arounds

[@robertmedina6875]

People shouldn't be so critical of you. It's not nice! I love your channel. Thank you for all you do to help other techs Mario❤👍

[@moosemobileautorepair]

That's one heck of a nice ignition analyzer tool. I'll probably get one myself. 😂 I have one similar by Matco Tools, but it's slow and glitchy. This one looks and seems way better and much more reliable/accurate too. I wouldn't worry about those other people who are being critics and criticizing you about your diagnostic techniques unless they are being constructive about it. I sometimes get that myself from other people. I would just forget about those people and just continue doing your thing. Besides we are all learning here in this field regardless of what we may or may not know. I know your intention is to help others out. You're doing a good job Mario keep it up. 👍

[@shamessun]

Man don’t lesson to those people…. You are doing an amazing job and I like your explanation…. For example I been having the infrared light for long time but after I watched your parasitic draw videos now I learned how to use it correctly and I used it for more than parasitic draw… thank you man

[@arthurfricchione8119]

Mario you never have to explain yourself. Of course you can go about things faster but you are going slower to teach us. I appreciate that and thank you very much. You have taught me a lot and thank you for taking the time to do that. Believe me there is always a hack out there that can always do it better but has never touched a tool. Thanks Mario 👍

[@secretsquirrel9722]

Don't let the haters get you down Mario! It's inevitable that as you gain more notoriety, you'll attract more detractors.

I don't understand people thay can do it how ever thay want . But learning from people useing these types of diagnosis. Is super important . Your on point Mario don't worry about the swapnostics techs there really not trying to Lern . There looking for a sliver bullet

[@noahkight8023]

Don’t let the people who aren’t improving effect you showing us the process. We need to see a misstep sometimes as we all do it. Egotistic keyboard warriors need no bearing on the way you show the information. Thanks for another great video!

[@gtautomotive22]

Mario dont let trolls get over your head. I think you are hurting peoples feelings with some pretty honest comments. If you think about it there are more weekend warriors and DIYers here that are just looking for the silver bullets and just people that dont want to learn and just want a short cut to the fix. I think as your channel grows so will the negativity and that is not bad at all. This is actually how you know you are becoming more noticeable out in the world. I mean common sense will be to just watch something else if you dont like it but some people out there are just sad and want to bring other people down with them for no reason other than seeing other people doing it big out here. Please dont let this people break you mentally, our jobs are really stressful as it is. You are doing great. Last 2 videos it looks like you are trying to adress the unhappy people here and trust me anything you do, say or change you will not make them happy.

[@FishFind3000]

6:43 so if you have bad plugs with a large gap the coil works harder and then shortens it’s life.

[@607perkins]

This is a common cause of coil failure. So, Don't let your customer talk you into cheaper plugs that will wear faster. Coil failure follows.

[@ionutpacurar262]

You don't have to justify yourself, be yourself it perfect. Thank You

[@johnlenoir1023]

Excellent video Mario! I prefer the way you do it Mario because you have proofed that a component failed and how it failed! Sometimes we don't have another component to swap and what do you do? guess? Again, I prefer your approach to find out what is the problem with that car! Why do you think many customers say my car was not running like that before I took it to that shop? because parts were swapped from their cars to another!

Mario can you do a long term review of the topdon? Anyone who things swapping coils, plugs, injectors and then doing a compression test is faster then using a scope. They are either just slow, they don't have a scope or just don't know how to be efficient at using one yet.
