First of all let me say thank you for for restoring my faith in humanity for providing information at this level without charging anything. My name is Paul and i have been into automotive diagnostics and repair for no less than 25 years.. I have allmost no formal training what so ever and trying to get the info to be able to trouble shoot and repair has been near impossible to obtain, and this is the best resource i have found to date. I have never been able to get into any sort of class for this type of training and this is awesome. Thank you again.

I'm 65 and already a retired master electrician but if I was a young person I would dive into this kind of work with both feet. There is always going to be a limited number of people who understand how to both use logic to diagnose, AND understand and use the technology that allows one to see inside these electronic/computerized systems. A person who can do this could build a successful business and be their own boss. We are never going to see carburetors or points and condensers again so there is huge opportunity here to be in demand. I am SO reminded of the diagnosing and repairs I did in my own career as I watch you and Eric and Ivan and Keith use logic and technology to ferret out the answers. Love it.

I took the manifold off to see what the mechanic had done to my car....the first thing I notice is that the two 12mm bolts that mount it down in the back are missing...I rode my old school pedal bike to the Bronx and bought two 12mm bolts from the mechanic that had left them out. He said they weren't there when he worked on it...I knew that wasn't true because I put them there myself... long story short.....you are inspiring!!!!.. don't stop!!!.. keep doing what you do....again, thank you..

I run Data Stream and at idle the ECM is calling for the EGR to open at 100% and it goes down as I increase idle.....since I know the 2005 has a TSB for the EGR I surmise that whoever switched out the EGR and harness wired it up backward.....that's what I found and I fixed it and had a good running vehicle!

Splice sleeves(butt connectors), whatever people choose to call them, will work fine as a repair to a circuit like this. GM uses these in their connector repair kits when you have to splice in a new connector, I used them hundreds of times with no issues at all. Don't buy the cheap no name ones at wally world and you won't have a problem.

I see no issue butt connector. Solder joints (esp unsupported) will weaken and break before a proper crimped joint. Only solder joint I'd even consider in a high vibration environment like a engine compartment is a NASA style lineman's splice. Marine butt connectors are the way to go. If you insist on solder, get a marine style butt connector with solder.
@ScannerDanner7 жыл бұрын
I've heard of those. So there is solder inside of the butt connector and when you heat it, not only does it act as a shrink wrap, but then it melts the solder? It seems you would have to get it too hot for the plastic before the solder would melt?

Ground is of utmost importance when testing electrical circuits. What I do is take some short scrap wire, find a bolt, screw or nut, loosen it and loop the scrap wire around it and tighten. Now I know my ground is good. I then use the other end of the wire to connect my ground .

That's a great tool. Of course the skills and understanding of circuit design is most important but I love tools! Okay, it was cool to find the broken wire too.

For my Camaro, I have no lights on light test for throttle body 1 & 2 fuse. You did great job explaining. Thanks

That was so educational - I learnt heaps from that. I agree that there appears to be somewhat of a design fault with the harness - maybe the bottom lip of the control box should have had a rubber protector. How did you repair the outer sheathing of the wiring loom? Fantastic video - thank you.
