Man, I don't even have car troubles and I stumbled on your channel. I hate when people get burned by mechanics (or any other service), so I always fix things for myself, family, and friends. Thanks for the awesome vid. It's inspiring to see someone helping out and fixing 'a professional's' mistakes. I can't imagine what trouble this guy would have gone through had he taken the car back to that same mechanic.

+gereral1 As a professional it embarrasses me when I hear stories about people being conned by others in my trade. Not all of us are dishonest. Some of my customers I have had for 30 plus years because they trust me 100%. I was taught at a very young age to treat people as you wish to be treated and this has helped me build a successful business. Going back to the video, there was a couple of things I may have done slightly differently but that comes down to 40 plus years of experience. Still a nice find, and one many professionals would have had a problem with. I await the results of your other "non runner" with interest. :-)
@SchrodingersBox8 жыл бұрын
Stambo What would you have done differently?
@Stambo598 жыл бұрын
+Schrodingers Box I do stress differently, not necessarily better. Once a lack of fuel was confirmed, I use a barbecue bottle with a regulator and a longish hose instead of starter fluid. It is way cheaper and dissipates very quickly if you still have a non starter. It is also possible with a bit of trial and error to sit the bottle inside and drive the vehicle this way. I also probably would have started at the relay end of the fuel system and confirmed KOEO prime and directly bypassed the relay before crawling under the vehicle, but then I am in my mid 50s so crawling under a vehicle tends to come later in my process. The end result would have still been the same :-). Please don't take this as criticizing your method as it is not intended this way. Your methodical approach is very similar to my own. I don't like replacing things until I can prove without a doubt that they are faulty.

I usually play the video at 2x speed to find what I'm looking for (usually a "How the hell do you get to that bolt to take it off without breaking something?" or tips and tricks for some inspiration and clever thinking that hadn't occurred to me). I'm just a guy looking for a quick answer without fluff because I just want to get the job done. I don't give a shit about mechanic vs tech, tool trucks, or whatever other BS people argue about. I just don't get the automotive culture. I roll my eyes so hard I worry about them leaving all together when I see tool snobs pushing their $400 Snap-On crap that they're still making payments on and bashing Harbor Freight and Craftsman. It just doesn't compute with me. If both tools get the job done, how on earth can you justify a tool that cost $380 more if the end result is the same? Then you have people on the opposite side who pay through the nose because they can't do a simple brake job or oil change. When I started this reply I didn't mean for it to be a rant, but there you have it, lol I think it all pent up as I searched through 10 videos to find out if I had to drop the gas tank to do a fuel pump or if I could go through an access panel in the trunk getting more frustrated with each video because I could've dropped the tank and just looked myself faster. (Didn't want to check in the trunk because it was packed to capacity of all kinds of junk I didn't want to mess with.) I'll be a regular viewer of your channel for both the repairs and humor, as well as scientific diagnoses.

Alex, thank you dude! Your post was therapy. Anybody who read as far as the word "rant" knows it's anything but. You laid it out direct. You're one of the very few people who still practice the rare art of "thinking" in order to learn new info so they gain efficiency in making wiser choices when problem solving. And why are we this way? In the pursuit of happiness, for us and our loved ones! Any excess talking, chrome, or tales of yore impede this goal. And we cant imagine forcing someone to endure a shitty story or advert. in order to share useful info with em. We like to get sh!t done so we can hose-off, put meat on the grill, and chill with the fam & friends. I have come to appreciate videos and people like Mr. Schrodinger who is happy to help his fellow man. It works out for the good in life and many people are so distracted or arrogant they'll never get it. That's why God set a premium on these words "Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself". It becomes apparent rather quickly these days who people have love for. ~hint: if somebody talks just way too much in general, and/or throws out two or more stupid non-witty jokes....their neighbor is in every mirror they look at. Take it easy brother!

Glad that you found this problem. FYI - Isuzu's alternator have a separate circuit to power the fuel pump relay when the alternator is spinning. This is to turn off the fuel pump after a collision. If the alternator is wonky, then the motor will try to start, but will not stay running. It stalls out as soon as you release the starter. Sometimes it is the alternator failing. Sometimes it is the fuel pump failing. My work buddy is crazy about Isuzu and passed on this valuable tip to me and I hope that with posting this comment it helps you or someone else in the future.

I work for a vintage car part company, selling stuff to gearheads all day. I'm privileged to get to pick the brains of several brilliant guys who operate as techs in our company. I, however, am not one of them. And I'm trying to diagnose a crank no start by myself. It's currently 34⁰ and dark outside, I have no tools, garage, or lights, but I do have a few bits of knowledge going for me. I have tach readings during turnover. I have an easily turning engine that just won't grab. I have a 3/4 full tank full of gas (which automatically means its the fuel pump, right? Lol) and I have fuel pump engagement, as I can hear it running when I turn off the ignition. Tomorrow, if my prayers and blood sacrifice to the mechanical gods go unanswered, I'll check terminals and cables (hard to do in poor lighting) and check fuel pressure. As soon as I find the rail. One of my work tech buddies thinks I might have low voltage as my lights dim just a bit when cranking. I think it always did that anyway, but of course I don't remember for sure. I don't want it to be a battery issue as it's only a year old. If it is a battery issue, and not just the cables or terminals, I'd be worried about the alternator having caused it. Equally worrisome is if it's a cam sensor. Long story short, I can't really fix any of this by myself regardless. I lack the tools and the know how. But I'm hoping beyond hope for something not expensive, and not cascading. 🤞 Thank you so much for this video. I appreciate all the knowledge that you've shared.

Such an awesome video. Learning a lot of electrical without assumption of bad parts. Proves that the obvious must still be confirmed. I would have thrown a pump in too if the other stuff hadn't been checked. Makes me think twice about part replacement.

They need more diy Mechanics in the world like you guy. You where honest with your customer and didn't try to go in his pockets for a pretty much simple job, andddd... tried to help him retrieve his vehicle back to him even though you had to pick up groceries. (Mannn it just doesn't get any better than that! ) just got my subscription and im im support YOU by purchasing some of merch!

Now you're what I call a customer friendly mechanic rather than a rip you off mechanic. I'd donate some money to you just for your time if I were the guy that owned the vehicle. Too bad there aren't more of your type around.
