I had a kid call me to come over to his apartment. He has engine problems. So he bought a used engine. And he called a mobile mechanic for help. He said the mobile mechanic installed new main bearings and rod bearings. The guy just an impact wrench to tighten everything up. No torque wrench required 😅😅😅 I come over. The car tries to start. I noticed the O2 sensors are not hooked up. ?? I see the O2 sensors ends laying on the top of the engine. I ask?? He says, the wires were in the way, so I just whacked them off. I said. You just push this thingy and it will pop loose. He says. Really!! I said yup. And no wonder the car will not run. After a few tries, the engine kicks to life. Then rattling and knocking noises. 😅😅😅 He shuts it off.??? I tell him. Wellll, when the mobile mechanic didn't use a torque wrench on critical fasteners, you get this.

Actually you can blame the owner especially since he "Claims" to have watched your videos. Your method of diagnosis is methodical and straight forward and takes the parts cannon out of the picture and if parts are required it is the last step after careful consideration of all the facts. Cutting wires may have a place in diagnosis but not at the hands of someone that does not understand the circuit to begin with. As I said before throw your parts money into a one hour Diagnosis from a tech and then you have a good place to start. Thanks so much for taking along this journey out of the Rabbit Hole.

I'm expecting the same discount that you gave this gentleman. I'm also leaving both the red and green sauces for you in the passenger seat in case you need it for the bean burrito. I didn't cut any wires so it should be pretty easy for you. I did cut off all the valve stems on the tires though since that seems to be required for fixing tpms timing codes.
@major__kong5 ай бұрын
I've only deliberately cut a wire once, and that was after research in a manual not garbage information on the interwebs. Kenwood radios use a clock signal running out to microphones that also have a keypad. They use untwisted, unshielded wire for some reason. So the clock signal ends up bleeding into the mic circuit, and you get an annoying 1Hz click - 1 PPS in engineering speak - when you transmit. You can't hear it but everyone else can. The solution, if you never need the key pad, is to snip the clock signal wire. I go a step further by creating a small extension to the mic cable that doesn't include that wire because the wire can still act like a transmission line even when cut.

If you have some basic skills and tools and access to diagrams, - check powers and grounds, fuse or fuses - is anything else on that network talking? - When you put a multimeter on the CAN wires, do you see 120 ohms or 60 ohms? - do they all talk to the same gateway?
