Ford Fiesta Erratic Idle - The power of networking - The Automotive Technican

In this vehicle we get a Ford Fiesta idling badly when cold. By using our networks, we quickly see a common fault and it takes us straight to the repair www.tat.net.au

Thank you. Ivan from the Pine Hollow Auto Diagnostics channel would say that’s a “no parts required repair”. Check him out he’s a fantastic diagnostic tech… a lot of thinking outside the box.

For sure Kevin, I follow Pine Hollow and like his vids. He's a very, very smart guy! Do you have any other YT channels you recommend?

@@romanosautomotive well…. a couple of the big names in stateside American KZbin Snanner Danner & South Main Auto. A few that are lesser known, but great FordTechMakULoco, GoTech, Watch Wes Work, Jason the Municipal Mechanic and one of my favorites PJ a Toyota tech from Voltage Drop Diagnostics. If you really want to get a taste of the old school American grease and grit the Bus Grease Monkey specializes in 1940’s -1970’s diesel buses. North of us the DeBoss Garage is an enjoyable Canadian build channel. And finally going “across the pond” as we say to the EU market… DiagnoseDan covers a European market. He’s more of the technical teaching style too. I like that. Enjoy!

We are on the same wavelength, I already follow most of them!

A bit weird, not having a fault code. it's a very good thing,a MUST ,to know how to read the live data.It helps a lot. Thanks for sharing the video.

[@romanosautomotive]

Thanks Lambros and yes correct. Sometimes we get compacted and rely on fault codes but sometimes we have to think outside the square. This one I didn't have to though because I had TaT to look at and found this! Lucky for me this time

[@MiracleMAX]

TAT to the rescue! Repair solutions are always my first port of call when I'm diagnosing. 😁

[@romanosautomotive]

Absolutely MiracleMAX. We are far better off when we are a part of networks like TaT!

Nice one Rob, TaT has been a great help to me in the past also.

[@romanosautomotive]

Such a great network to be a part of even if it only helps us once in a blue moon!

Great video. I have a 2010 Fiesta with identical problems. I did suspect the throttle body but it’s nice to see live data before and after to really understand what the component and ECU is seeing. Hopefully this will solve my problem. TIA 🤘

[@kirkabrahamson1148]

Its great to get a direction to start when there are so many different makes and models that do things a little differently. Good vid Rob

Hi Does TAT have Gear Box repair and Truck Repair information..?..Thanks for the video..

[@romanosautomotive]

Hi Dean, TaT is not a data information supplier. It's basically a network of technicians that all chip in their own information for the benefit of others. The repair solutions and scan and scope data are more tailored to non HD vehicles. Are you only working on HD stuff?
