Hey Mr Eric, have a Dodge Avenger that another shop has right now. The car will start and then die, I am not sure what all they have checked, but they are trying to say that the wiring harness is bad. Can you please tell me if this air pump can be the culprit? Any advice? Thanks in advance

Somewhere in OTC land there is a software engineer having a very bad day! Marketing guys already calculated the impact of a negative comment from Eric O. of SMA. Keep on telling it like it is man, and thanks!

[@williegillie5712]

The new car fax for scan tools will be an official SMA sticker. Approved by Eric O. People gotta start asking👍

[@hamza78]

Eric, really like your detailed orientation especially around these types of diagnosis. I don’t think I’ve ever seen anyone with so much in-depth knowledge around scan troubleshooting and the use of specialize tools.. Good stuff, keep doing what you do. We love it :)

[@CubasAutomotive]

Whoa!! No intro?? No, "Hey there viewers!"? Lol. It's almost repair shock going right into the repair! Lol 😉😉 I'd have to agree on the SuperScraper, definitely makes scraping the surfaces so easy, even the oldest crusty stuff that's been baked on for 20 yrs.

[@roscoesomeone9764]

A good putty knife sharpened like a chisel makes a great gasket scrapper.

[@tiredagain6722]

It is a follow up to the follow up so maybe the intro got lost in the mix???

Nice job. Even though most of repairs on modern cars are now electronic related, the time tested method of logic problem solving still applies.

[@SmittySmithsonite]

I can't thank you enough for turning me onto that Super Scraper years back! Thing is great. I just used it on a '02 Ram 1500 diff gasket that looked OE. This thing was WELDED onto the housing! Nearly broke the rotted out cover in half trying to pry it off, lol. I'd have been there for an hour chiseling and scraping had it not been for the Super Scraper - peeled the whole thing clean in 10 minutes flat! Even scraped off the rust that was starting to make it's way inward. Glad I didn't pick the OTC for my only scan tool - that would've been super frustrating. Surprised a company like OTC would let that thing go out to market like that. You'd think they have guys there that have been auto techs at some point? Great videos on this one man! 👍👍

[@aaa000777]

And if the parts guy had told you that the gasket and bolts were included with the valve, they wouldn't be!!! Meet my friend Murphy!! LOL

[@spelunkerd]

It is so helpful to see you reach for different scan tools, comparing what is offered for specific practical applications. Of course data available on scan tools is a moving belt, so these tools all need updates that can be pretty expensive for the DIY market. Competition has fortunately brought the price of scanners within range for some. SnapOn must be choked to see their dominance slide.

[@epjose6607]

So much vengeance

[@darrylmcleman6456]

not to worry re: compressor running in the background.All part of the ambience.Sounds like you are in an auto repair shop!!! Thanks for great educational entertainment.

[@lawrencewillard6370]

Seeing you working on messed up cars, brings to mind a "project" for our son. Mitzi CYBORG HATCH, 1999. Wanted another mitzi motor, 1800cc to replace 1500cc. Other Engine mounts , computer, wiring. WIRING?!!!!. Other instrument panel etc. Result, got a donor to take it back to original. He didn't like it, so got something else. ..........

[@Bekim8310]

Hey Eric. I know The People have in the past and present requested a video from you explaining your hand held OBD 2 scanners. Why not make a short video explaining your likes and dislikes of each hand held you have and which one you think would be number 1 and number 2 and so on. Thank you!

[@dsautorepairsdinges4367]

Agreed!!

[@skinlab4239]

Awesome, another morning were both Erics' upload. SMA always gets the view first.

[@SaltyTubers]

That OTC menu sure looks like a miss to me too. You can clearly see the first section of tests/data available, but nothing past the letter "B". Perhaps someone neglected to code in the Next function or it was a Friday! Thanks Mr. O, always love your work!

[@aleblanc3547]

I wonder, if they don't keep them in stock maybe it's because they don't fail that often? Thanks Eric!!

[@dougtexas]

Thanks for the follow-up video. Informative about the abilities of the scanners. Apparently they think you don't need certain info. I agree that all scanners should have to pass Dr O's SMA acceptance!!

[@SilverSergeant]

Thanks for posting this video....I was eagerly waiting to know if the valve should be replaced...........great job as always!!

Just want to say thanks for the inspiration, great channel, lots of interesting stuff, got me motivated enough to do the head gasket on a 2.2 Diesel Hyundai Santa fe, Don't see to many of the vehicles over here in Australia, and nothing like the rust that you have to deal with...

[@geologic740]

The Bosch Group doesn't appear to care much about it's customers. I simply requested a replacement battery cover for their latest model scan tool, and they said it isn't available separately from the unit. I continued sending several emails to different people in the company and someone finally promised to send a cover, but I never received one.

[@rnrudynh1427]

Mr O. You know darn well that those "engineers" won't add or change a single thing about that scan tool unless it makes them profit. Kudos for asking though. In 3-4 years a big wig will be like " look at how we care so much for our customers" as they roll out the latest and greatest updates people have been begging for for the past 19 years. Used to have a similar rubber mallet tap trick for Harley starter clutches. Tap tap zinggggggg

[@tiredoldmechanic1791]

If you hadn't ordered the bolts and gasket, it wouldn't have come with them and the bolts wouldn't have come out. I bought a super scraper several years ago and it just doesn't get dull.

[@wiserguy7257]

I painfully appreciate your advice on those one way ratchet wrenches as it came too late. A few days ago I got careless and backed a bolt out until the wrench contacted the curve on a driveshaft and there is no way to reverse the ratchet and screw the bolt back in. I had to cut the bolt to get my wrench out and spend another few hours trying to find a specialized oddball replacement bolt that was not in stock or available anywhere.

[@ahill007ny]

The months that I got to use the Encore i thought it was odd about the chosen list as well. Dont get me started on the issues with actuator tests and the relearn problems it has. You probably remember when I asked you about it.. I couldn't turn on the fan on a 2005 Cobalt and then I had a 2008 Cobalt that I had to ID as a 2009 to do the Clutch Pedal Relearn 😑

[@iamnoone.]

Good morning mr o another great video im glade tour feeling better

[@scurfie2343]

That valve looks to me to be a simple design. Would you try to see if a simple cleaning would fix it or are you too busy to bother?

[@toddhowes7722]

This valve is common on euro trash. VW/Audi, Volvo like to use them. VW/Audi ones tend to be vacuum controlled. VW/Audi like to mount the pump low so when they fail open they end up with condensation from the engine filling them with water, and the pump fails also.

[@mikefedele4521]

Cool fix

[@roadkill5333]

Hey Eric!! I have an idea!! Get one of those automatic call on hold system, and put the youtubers on indefinite hold! Let it play some HORRIBLE ELEVATOR MUSIC, and come back to announce "YOUR CALL IS IMPORTANT TO US, PLEASE REMAIN ON THE LINE, AND YOUR CALL WIL BE ANSWER IN THE ORDER IT WAS RECIEVED! PLEASE HANG ON", every 30 seconds! I know they have those, I seem to be able to call one, at least once a week, sometimes twice! But, it's never from anyone that considers your call IMPORTANT, and could care less about your business!! Like when you call the DMV to find out how to get your license reinstated. Or when you call the hospital billing dept, to complain about being overcharged for an aspirin!! Or, when you call the power company, to report a power outage!! Or when you call 911, to report the old man next door that just got ran over by a Mack truck, or to report that some unknown people are breaking into your neighbors house, or to report the DRUNK DRIVER that you are following thru a school zone, and thru a parade route. (On a side note. Have you ever noticed that people are always crashing into buildings and such, or other vehicles, and always need an ambulance? However, you never see them crash into hospitals, and are never right there for the ER staff to come out and rescue them?) You know who never uses those call answer services? Small restaurants!! Businesses that are slowly going under! The "report a crime" tip line!! If you call a small restaurant, it's like the phone never rings, it is just instantly picked up. Like they have nothing else to do, and are patiently waiting for your call!! And they can never say the name of the restaurant clearly, so that you know that you called the correct, number! You call "Andrews Italian Bistro", and they answer the phone, "ANDS", and you don't know what they said, and ask, is this Andrews Italian Bistro, and they say "yeah, that's what I said, ain't it"! I used to work for a small local restaurant, WAFFLE HOUSE! (LOOK IT UP) And the mgr would answer the phone, "Waffhous mhelpya"! Or a retail outlet, that is going under! You call, and they answer half way thru the first ring, and detail every product they have, and announce that everything is half priced, before you get to say that you're sorry, but you dialed the wrong number! I hate it when you call the crime tip lines, where they say, "AND YOU DONT HAVE TO GIVE YOUR NAME! And you call, and tell the guy that answers the phone that there is a guy that you think is responsible for dumping large amounts of trash at the end of a local dead end street, and that you have his truck license number, and a description of his vehicle, and driver, and that you want to help clean up the city. And the guys thanks for the information, calls you by name, and quotes your address to where to send the anonymous check!! Turns out, it was a guy that you went to grade school with, that never forgets a voice!! He's like RAIN MAN!! He got a job at an anonymous crime tip line?? Really?? Or, an even better idea, to irritate and torture you tube callsers. Read this comment on tape, and play a loop of it. ONCE!! That'll stop them from calling back!!

[@donnierobertson3088]

[@xplorearizona154]

Have you thought about building a insulated box around the compressor.

[@RawgittSunnKillahfAm]

What is the mechanical benefit of having the air pump valve and the air injection pump? My car does not have these things. Recently, the car does not want to start easily, rather takes time and a few key turns to do so. Is this failure related to such things that are missing?? The problem is recent. Have had the car for two years. Thank you

spendy little valve but best way is oem new, job jobbed and no come backs . plus side is quick diagnose and quick fit . superscraper going sell out again lol .

[@slacko1971]

Why when you were viewing the live data did the voltage change to 4 volts yet there was no reading on the kg/h scale?

[@contendingforthefaith9897]

Does this solve the problem with the air injection pump cycling on and off, it runs the battery down overnight.

[@itsDarel]

Hi Eric!!! Loving yours videos, and your tools. You use a Launch cell phone like at the end, which model its that one, i cant find it at the Launch page, thanks in advance!!

Welcome viewers, to the South Main Auto Channel ....

[@GSXRcop41]

Video idea: For us DIYer's out there who curse scan tools, computers, and their very existence... You did another video that pointed out that for a rear brake job you needed a bi-directional scan tool. A lot of repairs are starting to need scan tools that can perform tests, activate components, etc. And those scan tools are the multi-thousand dollar types. So, in today's world, with technology as it is, and, we already have generic OBDII that can blue tooth to our phone, why isn't someone out there offering a fully functional, do it all, scan tool that is blue tooth, wi-fi, USB to OBD, through a PC, phone, or tablet, (or MAC) for a price of what it actually costs to produce, probably a couple hundred dollars? Looking at the scan tools, they appear to be PC based anyway. It really looks like someone took a tablet, slapped Snap-ON on it, and jacked up the price. Maybe I'm going a little conspiracy theory on this, but I feel like there is a lock down on that type of stuff, keeping it so expensive that the DIYer and even the private owned shops, like SMA, are forced to remain dependent on the dealer. Which, where I live, you can't get a repair done at a dealership for less than $400. The reason: if you don't know any better, let's say the situation is a bad ground, like in one of your other videos (a little Ford Sedan). At a dealership, that person would have got a new computer, probably a battery, and a few other components. And the ground cable would have been fixed during installation of those. Anyway, just throwing the idea out there. And, maybe a video on the best full function scan tool options for DIYers. (BTW, in my area, private owned garages are the way to go. We do have some squared away shops here.)
