South Main Auto Repair can you make a video on how evap tank pressure works I don’t seem too get it

[@edwardcon1676]

What are the symptoms of the ford escape when getting Code P0455. Mine shows that code and it stalls when driving it

[@chadvanderpool6501]

This man is a dam fine mechanic. He knows his stuff. Impressed again by tour knowledge sir

[@adamtrombino106]

EXCELLENT vid, 1 of your best. Why? Because it's a great example of pressure ( or vacuum in this case ) vs VOLUME. And just like a fuel pressure gauge can trick you with good pressure but unknown flow, your case study shows us how a vacuum gauge can trick ya too. Does it register? Yeah.. Can the computer command it electrically? Yes. DOES IT FLOW? Not enough. I love the quick and dirty test of disconnecting the tank feed side, and then commanding the sol. 100%. Yes, you should expect there to be a giant vacuum leak as well as the car idling silly. If you don't have that, it simply isn't working right mechanically. Thx for sharing all of these EVAP vids. Nothing can stress a tech more than all of the variables of fixing that system.

[@PineHollowAutoDiagnostics]

hmmm must be Ford Escape day Eric!!

[@deyvidcardoso3318]

excellent your videos, here in Brazil the OTC and SNAPON scanners are very expensive, AUTEL does not have to sell. I really admire the quality and variety of tools you have. very good.

[@chiluco2000]

Another master class in rocket surgery from Dr. Eric. Quick and insightful!

[@Paul1958R]

Eric, Great quick tip video! Great explanation of the EVAP system and its faults. Thank you and God bless Paul

[@supercoupe6288]

now i can blow the dust off my vacuum gauge since you showed me a good use for it, thanks Eric O

[@tracydiller4492]

Dr.O said in the description to 'ENJOY' well I did.Another GREAT tip from Dr.O keep those videos coming Dr. PEACE

[@wyattoneable]

"The back door is closed" That, I will remember. Easy to follow along for the fix too.

[@benjaminstockton3508]

Good tip tuesday eric o.thanks for what you do .I know it is not easy to put out video's and have to work on cars and trucks all day long but i appreciated thanks

[@SouthMainAuto]

I try to grab some when I can. About one out of 30 cars gets a vid...

[@jrneff9773]

great repair thank you again. had to tell you and the world just got my new lift running a Edwards 12k four post lift. yesterday did 2 fuel pump tank drop style in 4 hrs and safely this lift goes 76 inches high to the ramps alot of safety fixtures i like it alot thk you again for your videos my cousins and uncle in Lansing ny found this lift.

[@arsinoeivlostprincess4228]

Listening to my local college station and they announced "The Bad Plugs" will be playing Sat night.

[@richardcranium5839]

why when i see quick tip i automatically think of ave??? the tip and only the tip i promise lol its all good eric we like your tips too

[@leedress2187]

Love when you work on the same car I have. Haven't seen this code yet, but I'll know what to look for if it happens. Thanks!

[@ozzstars_cars]

Good info Mr. O.. For those that don't have a fancy pants bi-directional scan tool the purge valve is easy enough to bench test. All you need is a 12 volt source and your lungs. A vacuum pump wouldn't hurt to have either. ;-)

[@TheDisgruntledMechanic]

Your parts will be ready for the crapper, if you order from Napper! Nice video as always Eric!

[@joeo1352]

The Disgruntled Mechanic you don’t like there parts????

[@baxrok2.]

Oh, that's a tricky one indeed! Great tip Dr. O. Thanks!

[@TheCowgirlNiamh]

Ahhhh I feel better after a fix of SMA. I can go make dinner now 😂

[@Airman..]

Niamh Healy thats your Dinner Lady😂

[@ALZ2526]

Great tip good trouble shooting, nice that you do nut and bolt and tech videos.

[@systemloading6875]

hey Eric it's funny that you made a video on a Ford escape because Ivan said he needs help with his escape and he tried calling you.

[@mattg2226]

Someone mentioned the "classic reach around", come to think of it, I haven't heard "there's your problem lady !" in quite some time....

[@yitznewton]

I used the classic reach around today on my scooter and thought of Dr. O

[@johndutton4860]

SMA im ready to see another josh video when you have the time see hows he learning

[@FranciscoGonzalez-yx7mk]

Hell yeah!!! You just saved me serious money and time!!!!

[@baggins1]

Air tool was sinc'd with button presses at end. Had me trip'n on that wicked vacuum

[@fieldsofomagh]

Great to see the before and after.

[@snakeskinproductions7500]

Right again o great one..lol I always check with a vacuum gauge along with the purge and seal test. Got to be sure, for sure...lol

[@Mark-vc7rm]

Great tip! Thanks Mr O.

[@0509kj]

Quick Tip Tuesday! - better than Taco Tuesday. Thanks SMA!

[@62ejo]

[@scuba422123]

don't get fooled by the vac gauge....good tip eric

[@GCraigmile]

That was cool!! Not sure I’ve seen that trouble yet! 🤔🤔🤔 BUT I’ll keep it in mind.. And my luck will have one tomorrow doing that and I’ll look like “The Man” for knowing what’s going on 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

[@SouthMainAuto]

That is what the vids are for!

[@Blackmage50]

It's still a perfectly quick tip! Thanks for the tip!

[@barryburton6611]

Awesome, thank you for your help

[@Justa4banger79]

Thanks brotha!!! FIXED!! YOU DA MAN!!!!!!

[@CubasAutomotive]

I dig the quick tip idea. Just enough of dose of SMA to get me through the wk. Lol

[@jeremyanthony9300]

lol. that's funny. what kinds of jobs you been doing lately? any major jobs

[@CubasAutomotive]

Jeremy Anthony actually yes. Residential electrical job. PECO screwed up their meter installation years ago (on my sister's home) and caused some consequential damage due to it. I fixed the meter connections along with replacing the main breaker in the panel, which was breaking down internally and tripping. I'll try to post an album on that later today or sometime tmrw on G+.

[@paulanderson388]

Great info...Thank You.

[@UNEEK_LOGIK]

I love just the tip!!..

[@maxwellpeter1598]

J ROD that's what she said

[@neverstoplearning382]

Hahahahha

[@gonzgarr1592]

great video learning a lot thanks

[@deepsquat600]

You said you were going to show is your trick...I thought it was going to be the classic reach around

[@PaulCTownsend]

GOOD JOB

Good v ideo. Weren't units on Autel actually psi and not inHg?

[@robertdavis6708]

Wouldn't it been nice if we could have gone to a class like Eric O.'s instructional,, instead of English Lit.??

[@joe2mercs]

Any way to spray brake clean (DAHDUM) through to free up the purge valve internals?

[@The_Noticer.]

I'm trying to test this but the scantool won't allow me to open the purgevalve while it's running (it's says conditions have to be met, which includes engine off), got any tips? I find it really strange how you're supposed to test a purge without vaccuum, scantool is Autel Maxisys.

[@kiddbrother3]

I have a 97 GMC suburban with 5.7eng I found that the 3/4"vent hose from the top of the tank to filler neck but I didn't any evap codes! what should I check?

[@philh9238]

can snap on scanners do the ford purge and seal test? (turning the vent on and purge at same time)

[@sanozi]

Great video. I have a question related to this. Does the purge vavle effect fuel trim? Its hot here (44 c) abd the purge valve is around 20% open more or less. And my ltft is -14 to -20. No engine light.

[@randomron67]

Quick tip Tuesday on a "?"day? You can't tease us like that!

[@nickbruce8757]

Any news for ATOTO product video?

[@rchick9682]

Is there a way to do this testing without a bidirectional scan tool? I have a P0455 on my sons 98 dodge neon and don't want to shoot the parts cannon at it. If not what's the most inexpensive scan tool that will give the ability to command the purge solenoid closed?

[@SouthMainAuto]

Actually the Neon will use a LDP system. they are a lot different then these to be honest.

[@pilotsimms535]

That sounds like a "no" . . . . . but very diplomatic.

[@rchick9682]

I found the purge solenoid under the hood right side of the engine compartment very easy to get to and located the LDP under the front passenger fender liner PITA to get to. Already found a dime size hole in the fuel filler neck and thought that was the issue but I replaced it and still have the code. Is there a good scan tool that you would recommend for the DIY'er that does not cost more than the car I'm working on?

[@throttlebottle5906]

I don't recall what all lines and hoses the neons had exactly, but they likely have a bunch of rubber sections, so check every hose/end in the evap system, you'll likely find dry-rot and probably splits all over near the ends... pretty sure they were one of the "well known's" with hoses that split and crack on the charcoal canister, fuel tank and had sections of rubber hose joining steel line sections from front to rear.

[@Blazer02LS]

On a 98 one of the older units will work. The old brick Snap On MT 2500 and 2900 can be had reasonable and they have cartridges up to 2008 Or get something that doesn't need cartridges like an OTC Genisys (EVO or version 4/5 NOT the touch, it's junk) with the smartcable. Not a super fast tool but it will work on a lot of vehicles. There are a few on Ebay all the time, one on there at the moment that is updated to 2012 vehicles. seller duramax_lbz

[@johnsmith-sw7ii]

Have GM 3800 engine. OBD2 indicated bad purge valve/solenoid. Bought one ...went to r&r and discovered that someone had applied electrical tape over the connector on one of the nylon vacuum lines. Removed tape and found the connector was cracked. Do they make replacement end connectors for these lines or do I have to replace the whole assembly? Also will check engine light go off by itself when computer recycles or must code be cleared? Thanks

[@jesselyons2002]

I thought the same thing at 6:45

[@crisprtalk6963]

did we have purge valves in the 50's? My head hurts.

[@SouthMainAuto]

Earliest I remember is in mid 70's?

[@throttlebottle5906]

rags for gas caps and open vents :)

[@Micko350]

Burp, I'm purged! 😅

[@uggadugga8070]

The old valve just needed a little soaking in brake parts cleaner for an hour or so... j/k

[@paulh6101]

Did the vehicle have a rough idle?

[@Ivo--]

TWO Excapays in one week?

[@doug184]

Hi Eric, are you using a different camera in past month or so? A lot of recent videos will get audio out of sync with video and video does a slow down or maybe its losing frames. I just watch a very old SMA video and it played perfectly. I thought it was a Google update on this phone but don't think so. I can fix the out of sync audio and slow video by a click to Forwarding to next video then click to reversing back to the video having the problem. Anyone else seeing the out of sync audio? Also sometimes the video freezes, the forward the reverse also fixes this. Looks like it started problem 2-3 months ago spot checking videos.

[@spelunkerd]

On paper, EVAP problems should be easy, they are very simple systems. But just like a bowline knot, simple design can be deceivingly complex.

[@jonsey1886]

Thanks for the link to a "scope on a rope"....now is that the one you use or just a generic one? Also I noticed your "Scope On a Rope" 2.0 version has a pair of locking pliers on the end, how did you rig that one up?

[@mattmanyam]

A viewer made it and sent it to him about a year ago, after he was griping about the crappy normal ones in a vid.

[@robertjohnson9058]

Got few questions for you

[@SmittySmithsonite]

[@mrkttrdr2919]

First!

[@dtnel]

I see someone got a new toy? So did you keep your Snappy tool? I'm sure you did. I saw the title for your video and 5 hours ago my buddy called me about his 08 Chevy pickup with the po455 code and he started the Parts Canon already with the solenoid and I told him to stop it and I will come look at it tomorrow so now I have to figure that out being that he replace the solenoid. I wonder if he forgot to clear it and the code came back or stayed as a hard code? Any other ideas is this will be something new for me in that area normally I don't get that lucky plus it's a freebie being that he owns the land where I hunt deer at and I might need to go this year. Throw me some ideas it is a 08 Chevy pickup if I remember him saying properly. Maybe it's an 07 but shouldn't be much difference but I can see how that intelligent Diagnostics will work and see if that does anything worth a hoot for me as that's hit-and-miss and I don't have Pro to man because that is just too dang expensive for me.
