Great Intro to Automotive Technology 101, Scotty. Anyone could learn from this video. It won't make them a mechanic but it will provide a basic understanding. Very well put together and presented even if we don't have the laughing animals and the junkyard..

[@xxdreadsaintxx]

I don't normally find the need to leave a comment. But I've been watching your show for awhile, and this is honestly the most interesting and well put together videos you've ever done. I'm sure it took a lot of time and effort, but it shows and it's of excellent quality 💯

You sir are how I have finally started to understand auto mechanic. I’ve had the itch for it my whole life, not till last year when I can across your channel did I finally step out into the world of auto mechanic. My son is only 2 and every time he gets my phone he pulls up one of your videos and just sits there listening and watching. Your awesome man thank you

[@EddyWoon]

My father-in-law shared a funny story where a few years ago he had a newly qualified mechanic working on his car which has a carby. He asked the mechanic to increase the idle speed... and the mechanic shrugged as he does not know how to do this. I guess he is trained on all the modern engines but not on the fundamental designs of a classic engine.

[@n1k1george]

Another great class from Kilmer University where you actually learn something useful and practical every day - AND its free!

[@slim404]

Man Scotty I've been following you for quite some time. I know you're a certified Master Mechanic and all, but I didn't think you'd be getting this technical with the engine processes. However you always make it easy to understand and follow along. I didn't know jack about fuel injectors before other than they cost me $500/more when they fail (on a 2013 C-Max TWICE!). But now I do thanks to you, great video! 👍🏻

[@THEH2OMAN]

I installed a tune on my 2007 5.7L Toyota engine at 281,000 miles, it runs smoother, makes more HP & TQ and the transmission shifts more precisely without hunting for gears. This was my first experience with tuning a computerized vehicle, and IMHO it was money well spent.

[@ghostridergale]

@Robert Slackware That be great long as you have the knowledge and skills to do everything right without damaging your vehicle somewhere down the line sooner or later? I for one don’t have that skill set or knowledge otherwise I would too!

[@djharvill8076]

Hey Scotty, I've always enjoyed your videos but this was even better.... would love to see you do like a series of them about all the different systems...and then some for older school muscle cars and the newer tuner ones....I've got an 89 mustang GT that I put a Holley sniper system on so I am able to see and adjust almost everything...I'm a noob in this area and am still learning and my favorite part was the fuel ratio stuff... thanks for continuing to pass on knowledge. 👍

[@greywulf73]

Thank you Scotty ! This was a very comprehensive explanation. It'll make it easier for me to help my kid (new driver) understand what tuning an engine involves. Hopefully it will also deter him from spending money trying to tune our reliable 1999 Toyota Corolla affectionately known as Ms Daisy.

[@yos025]

Scotty love the fact that you always keep up with everything out there. I recently got Hondata. I'm sure you've heard about this. I flash a 6psi tune on my new Civic Sport Hatchback 2020. I installed an intake and tune the AFM to take the most advantage of the hardware and to make sure fuel trims are within 1%. I am not sure how much this can cut the life of an engine but sure the Civic is amazing to drive now. I know you own the celica,matrix and the Lexus. Would love for you to try a civic tuneD with HONDATA.

[@bobwallace9814]

These videos always make the back in the day cars seem simple and cheap to operate. Back then ( say around late 60's) you tuned up your car every year, new spark plugs and new points. About $29 dollars which today is $240.00. Oil changes were every 3 months or 3000 miles and you would also get a lube job on your shocks, another $130 in today's dollars. Tires lasted about 20,000 miles at best. This was before radials were invented so another $100 for four or $825 in today dollars. Gas always seemed cheap, say 50 cents a gallon but that is over $4 today.

Long gone are the days when I could just tune it by ear with a screwdriver. Nice video

[@shimonelkin1828]

II have been a fan of Scotty for a long while. Very helpful information. I especially enjoy the added graphics in the windows to accent Scotty's commentary. Which is why I was surprised when he said the ignition of the fuel/air mixture causes an explosion. I'm sure he knows that explosions in the combustion chamber causes knocking and can wreck engines. The ignition of the mixture properly burns it and causes a rapid increase in pressure and temperature which pushes the piston away from the head. I wish to reiterate how much I enjoy Scotty's videos. Thanks

[@briantaylor9701]

It sounds like you just described an explosion, lol. Explosion in the combustion chamber, during the combustion stroke, is the goal. Bad fuel, with not enough octane rating, exploding while a valve is still open (not during the recognized combustion stroke) causes the engine knock that will ruin the motor if the driver doesn't fix the problem causing it. Often, but not always, shelling out the extra ten to twenty cents per gallon for 89 or 91 octane gas instead of the cheapest, 87 octane fuel, solves the problem.

It helps a lot if you have experience of tuning old carburettors by ear and feel and tuning ignition with lamp so when you first time open the files downloaded from your later model car you already know what you are doing, and also wideband o2 meter helps you to get even better results and you don’t have to trust your old ear&feel method anymore 😃
