I'm 65 and I learn something new every day...thanks Eric O

With 225.000 subscribers this channel has shown the value of it's material. I think many subscribers watch every new video to the end. Clean content, perfect attention to detail, how to use all the fancy tools and how to get it done. Plus we get to hear about Memau. I bet u she was quite a lady.

[@ozzstars_cars]

Blowing out both ends? That will throw a trouble code. Feel better.

[@ChrisGrazioli]

What code is that P 0000?

[@ozzstars_cars]

+chris G the S0707 is for the back end malfunction and T0069 is the reached out of limits upper gastro tract fault code. Hope that data helps with the diagnosis. -Glen

@@superminer66 I see what you did there.😀

No one can defeat you Mr. Eric

[@elcheapo5302]

Sometimes we must all channel our inner Ivan. Well done, Mr. O. Feel better!

[@ktcgarage8572]

Haha you are right Ivan would take that thing apart and rebuild it with a part from another car and some paper clips and made it work. Hope you feel better soon. GO REST.

[@m1greg125]

Had to get a ride home from work today as I was not feeling well. Watching this video while eating chicken soup. Wishing you a speedy recovery with your leaky circuits Eric.

Ohhhh soon it will happen!

[@Lawson80]

Pumping air into the exhaust - THE SOLUTION TO POLLUTION IS DILUTION

[@macro820]

Not really how it works but sure, the earth is flat anyway

[@bobl78]

it gives extra air into the converter plus injection and ignition timing are set to super late and rich = unburned fuel in exhaust ..the extra air makes it combust in the exhaust / converter which heats up much quicker like that .... not really a dilution...

[@opl500]

Helps the catalytic converter to "burn" what's left in the exhaust to CO2 and H2O. Gotta love regulations.

[@davidmeyers3549]

Get better soon!

[@63256325N]

If only that were true.

[@focusedelectronics]

Just getting over those exact symptoms... felt aches then the other stuff started It’ll pass in a couple days Get well soon sir

[@ibrahimalsaeed3890]

Of course you are the only one who can solve every issue

[@rickharper1497]

Sorry to hear you're not feeling well, hope you fell better tomorrow.

[@jessj3010]

Get well soon my friend. I just got over a nasty bug myself.

[@stephenmoody182]

Thanks for doing this one when you aren't feeling so good. Take care of yourself and I'll look forward to seeing you fighting fit on the next one.

[@wyattoneable]

I hope your feeling better by now. Thanks for the explanation of the system.

[@craiglangkau8056]

Sorry to hear that you are sick. Should of took the day off. On another note, keep up the videos. I have watched every one of yours since about two months ago. Can't get enough of them. I have been a car nut for thirty years now and enjoy what you do. Keep up the interesting videos. Love your jeep.

[@davedeatherage4902]

Hope & pray you feel better soon, God bless you and yours Eric, 7-up to settle stomach , in small doses.

[@malcolmyoung7866]

Eric, if you aren't feeling too good, it would be better if your valves were 'stuck closed' as well until you feel better. Need some TLC from Mrs 'O'...(but maybe not some sympathy...)

[@InsideOfMyOwnMind]

He just needs an Italian tune up. Mrs. O might not agree tho.

[@d0cjkl]

Need Mrs. O's chicken soup recipe!

[@jchristensen6323]

'Percussion Maintenance' is term I used in the Air Force for whacking something to get it working.

[@billburkart9087]

Good video. At times there may have been TMI. My wife just got over the norovirus same symptoms only worse. Drink plenty of liquids you'll need them.

[@grimmreaper6894]

Feel better soon. Love watching your videos I learned so much more about cars

[@kenhess6966]

hope you feel better soon. thanks for taking us along

[@franknewling1139]

BRAKE CLEANER❗ They used to have those on California cars back in the '50s. It's carboned up. Brake Cleaner is good for three or four years if the diaphragm is good.

[@Airman..]

Congrats Eric & family on the quarter million subscribers

[@richardm1631]

I hope you get to feeling better soon and I hope your family don't catch too what you have

[@SDS-1]

Hope we get a follow-up vid when you feel better. Get well soon.

[@freddybowman9905]

Hope you get feeling better MR O . Thanks for the great videos .

[@miguelito6915]

hope you feel better soon and stop blowing out both ends too

[@mikechiodetti6737]

Great Video! Make the system work for you, (using the scan tool, android, laptop, whatever) and locate the bad part. Now you know how it works and what's broken.

[@rrmech11]

Get Well Dr. O

[@xx3868]

On your death bed and still recording and working hard! Wow they breed them tough up north. If its winter with snow there now, could you show just a little of your town on a future video if its not too much trouble. Hate the cold but love the snow. Tim from upside down Australia.

[@fulwell1]

Hope you feel better soon Eric

[@ruschman96]

Thanks for yet another informative video. You are the man, rest well and feel better soon. All the best.

[@hardies1]

Hope you feel better soon Eric. Leave a note on the shop door as to why you are temporarily closed and stay home and rest.

[@buffsheeri]

hope you feel better soon

[@xplorearizona154]

Feel better soon.

[@danpence4292]

Both ends!!! That's definitely not the money light🤣🤣🤣 Feel better soon

[@adonisnetworks]

Get well soon Eric, another great and informative video .

[@wizard1800]

Ihope you get better soon. I guess Mrs.o will be taking care of the shop!

[@stephenwgreen78]

Hope you're feeling better. Thanks for the video

[@jackgreen412]

Hope everything comes out ok. Sounds like you're off to a good start.

[@dougtexas]

Sorry to hear all of your personal purge valves are stuck open. Maybe time to clean 'em out with brake cleaner! lol. Seriously hope you feel better real soon, and that the family doesn't start passing it around. Take care of yourself.

[@billyyoder8171]

Thank you Eric. I appreciate your videos. Have a blessed and safe week.

[@petemedina8446]

Awesome diagnosis there and hope you get better

[@fixit4u2]

Hope you feel better soon.

[@arthurfricchione8119]

Hope your feeling better Eric. A lot of dedication to post a video when not feeling well. 👍👍👍

[@baxrok2.]

Hope you feel better soon Dr. O!

[@graymodeler]

My 1984 Camaro Z28 has an air pump and metal pipes to each manifold. These corrode and are tough to replace. Best to cut the pipe off the ferrule and use a socket to turn them out. Funny, they pump exhaust into the intake EGR and pump air into the exhaust AIR.

[@charleswilliams5520]

I hope you get to feeling better soon .Take care.

[@johnlenz8221]

That was a common problem with 5 cylinder Volvos. The stuck valve would also cause condensation in the hose going to the air pump, eventually filling it up with water. Happened to me twice. Ended up drilling some weep holes into the pump to prevent that.

[@1013redoak]

Hope you feel better soon!

[@63256325N]

You and me both on hittin the wrong button....Thanks for the video. They never get old....there I said it again and if I could I'd give more than one thumbs up. Get well.

[@GunfighterWyo]

Malcolm, I would rather have the valve open and let the "pressure" out! Poor Eric. Going out both ends isn't fun! Mrs. O will take care of him and get him right as rain. Great video.

[@kiddbrother3]

feel better! sir!

[@timmayaz3182]

Feel better, amigo

[@jeffryblackmon4846]

Feel better soon!

[@briantii]

Hope you feel better soon, great video as always!

[@Anonymous-it5jw]

Great tips, quick practical diagnosis, even though afflicted with the double-end, boogie-woogie flu. Feel better, make more videos.

[@anthonyjcarolan3161]

I hope you get better soon 🔜 I love ❤️ your videos the are best thing ever

[@michaelb.5345]

Whoaaaaaa there fella get your butt home and feeling better, we will wait for the great videos you make, like this one...

[@redmustangredmustang]

Just remember those scan tools that perform those types of actions can be well over $2,000 and above. The sad thing is with vehicles becoming more electronic, if you want to be a mechanic, you will need those types of high level scan tools to diagnose those types of problems.

[@Paul1958R]

Eric, Thank you for another great video. It was interesting that you never got a reading on the scanner for MAF Sensor flow (kg/h). Hope you feel better soon! SMA#1 God bless Paul

[@LakeNipissing]

That air pump sounded so much like a vacuum... freeflowing, blocked... "Ya done vacuuming the room, Ethel?" LOL Great sense of humor, even when you are sick.

[@martyb4815]

Ohhh yea hope you're feeling better. I've been down with the flu for the past 3 days. Take care

[@KevinWindsor1971]

Kind of like the system on my old '06 Cobalt. Mine got stuck open and burned up the pump 3 times in 2 years before I got a valve that GM finally redesigned that worked.

[@c86tail]

Great video and I hope you feel better soon man!

[@codycheney3401]

Hey Eric, Sorry you aren't feeling do good ! I thank you for always teaching me something in your videos. I worked bodyshop so I can replace things bu, not diagnos them. You really do teach me something every video and its usually to not be a mechanic lol ! But really your shop never will smell as sweet as a body shop !

[@orville58]

under the weather and still under the hood trooper "o" thanks for all.

[@jerrybungard7107]

It's not so much that you hit it but knowing where and how hard! Get well soon!

[@ItsAlwaysRusty]

Man that system reminds me of the older BMW air systems. Same vacuum cleaner sounding air pump along with the mechanical valve. Even fails the same way. Stuck valve. BMW's valves though, stick open and the exhaust back flows into the air pump motor and burns it out quick.. Changed one on my sons car and the air pump motor looked like a charcoal briquette.

[@denniswilkinson1118]

Thanks for the info. Feel better.

[@jethrobodine9617]

Get well brother

[@125sm3]

Get better soon Eric O . Great video

[@ethelryan257]

Get to feeling better soon! Not all problems can be solved with brake cleaner.

[@gilbertm2251]

Get well Eric

[@martinschaffmeir7729]

Good work as always sir. Looks just like my advenger

[@mikemaccracken3112]

Get well soon Eric!

[@davidaguiar27]

Get better sir thanks for the video

[@tbag-2224]

0:30 "ya don't see 'em that often" ... "it's a pretty simple system" .... and that right there is the secret to reliability. If only everything was built to follow that.

[@JPilot2]

G'day, Mr. O! Wow! Blowing out both ends? That really sounds like, no fun!! Maybe your having one of those days, with a crank/no start, it's when you turn the key and you can hear your engine moving, but it's just not catching for you and running. Lol! 🤣 Thank you! I do hope you feel better! Cheers! 😊🚗✌🏼❤️

[@1corvair2]

Hey lady, the tech is sick. Miss Hanna will be right in.

[@CHIBA280CRV]

Thanks for the video, feel better ..

[@mikecont9742]

Thanks for passing the knowledge..Dedication to your work at your shop and to all of us even though how sick you are.

[@emporium597]

Thanks Mr. O for the dedication to your viewers. Now get some liquids in ya and rest up.

[@adamtrombino106]

Only certain Chryslers with 50 state emissions have A.I.R on them, and they only used them for a short time. They are only supposed to turn on briefly on a cold start to get the cat woken up. 1 thing of note, if you get 1 in with lean codes and high short term counters, check to make sure the pump is off. I've had a couple that were stuck on that were flooding the o2s with air, and neither had AIR codes! The fix for each was replacing that fuse/relay center module which Chrysler is famous for.. ( the name slips my mind cuz it's late and I'm having a brain fart ) Feel better soon!

[@angelgalvan7904]

God blessed Sr

[@aleblanc3547]

Pretty interesting. Their grounds go south by the dozens, but they make up for it with a simple smog system. :>) Thanks Eric!!

[@johnhart5102]

Great little troubleshooting video. Get well soon bud.

[@benjamindonnelly718]

Awesome video Hope you get better soon and keep the videos coming

[@davidellenbaum1229]

[@AntonioClaudioMichael]

Hope you feel better Eric o

[@eliduttman315]

Eric, 1st feel BETTER. Also, FWIW, that Kg./hr. number is easily converted into lb./hr. Just multiply by 2.2, which is the conversion factor for Kg. to lb.

[@berkheimer5918]

Eric just watch the video of the Buick LeSabre no nothing you are half crazy that radio scared the hell out of me also excellent video

[@fannoreno]

Must’ve caught a case of the green Krusteaz over at the rusty nipple over the weekend never a good time when it comes out both ends haha Great videos tho 👍

[@fire7765]

Great video, feel better.

[@ZKev1]

had this code on my subaru forester and the stealerships charged a literal fortune for a new SAI valve as it was a barometric sensor on it as well, silly thing just to heat the cat up quicker

[@ethans6.0]

it may have been good it was stuck open because on a cold start it’s should be open to get cleaner air to mix into the exhaust.. i think it only runs for 90 seconds then shuts off. i’m relating it to the air/smog pump that only runs for 90 then shuts off and maybe closes the valve once it’s ran it’s 90 seconds so you may have been fixed it i understand that it would risk burning everything in front of it and is worth the couple dollar bills thank you good work on ur before after video hope u don’t feel ill like that again

[@jasonc.4683]

Thank u professor O. Hope u get better soon. God bless😇

[@neverstoplearning382]

Thank you again mr O. Regards.
