scotty what do you think of a 1994 honda prelude

[@RetroPCUser]

Scotty, I think I got my 2001 Oldsmobile Intrigue's cooling system fixed after watching your older video of why the cooling fans don't work and it turned out I had air in the coolant and didn't realizes the radiator had a bleeder screw on top of the lower radiator hose and the bleeder hole by the right headlamp assembly. For the squeaking pulley, should I replace the tensioner assembly or the pulley itself?

And if you want another 2-5 addition miles per gallon to your car or truck,get the Amsoil OW-30 or OW-20 oil with a 17,000 severe service or 25,000 regular service rating.

[@PhilJLF]

2005/2006 7th gen Honda Civic EX (has the Vtech and the sun roof), perfect condition, one driver before me knew her and she only used it to go to and from work on the freeway, car was 3500$ with 140k miles, runs like a champ (her husband who is our family friend, is an insurance adjuster and used to buy corvettes, fix them up and sell them as a young man, I’m sure he kept it maintained well)... I’d recommend something like that for a daily driver that you can beat up and not worry about it. If you want something more sporty like that Nissan I’d just suck it up and get the more reliable vehicle, unless you want to be throwing tons of money into it like Scotty said.. fun, old cars (they just need more and more love with age) ... I bought a Toyota Corolla AE86 GTS that was in perfect condition with 120k original miles as a daily driver thinking it would be a fun reliable sporty car.... that thing kept me spending soooo much in repairs, would have been a great weekend only driver but as a daily driver I put over 5k in repairs into within a 3 1/2 year span... put a lot into repairs into a Lincoln MARK VII that was in perfect condition with low miles, one previous owner too... that was a collector car and I treated it like that though.

[@terracethornhill]

A puff of blue when you fire an engine up often means bad valve seals. They usually last longer than 3 years, but if the engine has been overheated, it can toast new seals. It's unlikely to be a head gasket, but the classic test for that is run the engine with the radiator cap off and look for bubbles. Also check the oil for signs of water , if it looks like a double-double coffee, it's your head gasket.

[@skip741x3]

The old cars like the probe gt 1994 are on obd1 and its a real challenge to diagnose becuz the system will give only very basic codes and sometimes the issue is not shown as a code, so u gotta use ur mechanic skills to figure it out the hard way...LOL I am amazed at the volume of info an obd2 system provides...it almost makes it easy .

[@rickhinojosa5455]

@@qiangwu6118 hi. They SAY no down payment needed but I'm pretty sure people won't walk off the lot with a used car without paying some kind of fees. I remember going into our local 'own a car' and bought a used truck. From the point where the salesman said it would cost me X much to buy that truck, to where I actually was signing a contract was about three thousand difference. Lots reasons for that but the bottom line was he bs'd me. I wasn't saavy enough to avoid being duped. I thought Scotty's insight to the cost of the car to the dealer being the down payment insightful...if it's accurate. I had a friend who was a used car salesman and he got out of it after several successful years because he couldn't stand how they cheated people. Maybe with NEW cars the no down payment thing works. But for used car, I think they get their coats out of it initially. But I don't really have any inside knowledge myself. It just makes sound business sense to get your costs out initially or else you would go broke with deadbeats that don't pay. The payments and then trash the car before you can repossess it. Have a nice day.🙏

Typically, if you get blue smoke on startup and then it goes away, valve seals are probably wearing out. You get some oil seeping through while it's parked; the oil collects on top of the valves and then burns out in a few minutes. If you're constantly burning blue smoke, then your piston rings are going out.

[@lloydsimmons1906]

I had a 95 Mirage that would smoke like mad if you let it idle for any amount of time. They were notorious for bad valve stem seals. I replaced the seals and it quit smoking.

Oil from natural gas? I've not heard of it before. I can't imagine what it's like. What is the deal? Is it really good pure oil? Does it last and keep your engine clean etc? I learn something every time I watch this guy. I bought a cheap bluetooth engine diagnostic device. Never used it. I also bought an SK...forgot the same...chip that you wire to your air intake and it changes engine parameters that save gas or provide better performance. But my car is breaking faster than I can fix it, much less make it perform better, not without risking screwing something up. That's the part that scares me. Today I fixed a seat control module. I did it by going to a junkyard and finding one in immaculate shape. Works perfectly. So happy about that but the company that ruined it by flooding my car with water, fixing a water leak, also ruined my leather seats. You can imagine the garage leaping to replace those seat covers, apologizing profusely, but I'm joking. Nobody takes accountability for anything they do, it seems. I wish I knew a good leather repair/replace guy. If you know one, or are one, let me Know.

I've used it on a dozen different vehicles (from 2000 to 2016 vehicles) and had zero problems. That is not to say all of them are good but mine is.

[@waynes.2983]

I have the exact one in the photo & mine has worked great for five years.

[@jonskowitz]

TBH, I think this guy stirs up controversy for views.

[@miguelle4756]

Hey Scotty, love your show. I have a Toyota 2011 Corolla with 80k miles. I’m not the original owner and it’s safe to say the transmission fluid has never been change. Should I replace the trany fluid?

[@e1andvo494]

Yes need to change the transmission fluid

[@hey_buddy_waz_up]

Back in the GM OBD I days, a paperclip was your scan tool.

[@stevenwengelewski6282]

Facts

[@imcrazyforwar]

Now they have backward compatible tools to read them like they are odb2

[@janpur1417]

Out of all 7 colors Blue light scatters most: Effect is called Rayleigh's scattering. Particles in burnt motor oil are are small, hence Raleigh's scattering making the smoke blue. Regular exhaust gas particles are much bigger and will scatter all colors and appears as white (same reason why clouds are white): Day time the sky is blue is also due to Rayleigh's scattering.

[@Doughboy-818-]

My guy scotty is also an android person! Man just when I thought I couldn't love the guy anymore this guy is too awesome! And we got the same phone too!

[@MrPorquoipas]

I agree with BlueDriver,great tool,needed to pass smog test, here in CA, tested is first, no problem, drive to the smog place, took 5 min passed, yep Scotty And Thank you Best Buy ever.

[@brianmaynard7320]

Spot on as always Scotty!! You are a fount of knowledge!!!

[@NOLL72]

A good source for vehicle prices in your area is the NADA (National Automotive Dealers Association) site. It takes into account that prices recently paid by dealers varies around the country. It has wholesale and retail prices listed depending on vehicle mileage, options and condition. JMO.

[@bxpress6507]

I remember when they sold oil at dollar tree long ago!

[@dwmcever]

Scotty, I have 3 cheap Chinese scan Bluetooth plugin tools , had them for years. Never had a problem. They only work for ODB2 data and not for car specific data. Great for getting past inspections. A lot of DIY mechs like me can't afford the higher dollar stuff.

[@rayfire50]

Always go to Wal-Mart for oil and filters

[@travisstorms9951]

Yep, it's only thing I buy from Wal-Mart.

[@Lande_n_w]

Their SuperTek synthetic oil is awesome stuff!

[@axl151]

I get good reports on my oil analysis using it

[@morrisl7]

don't support walmart.

[@superrcflier]

Got myself BlueDriver and so far so good works great

[@gilsanchez7429]

Is taking your car to Autozone to get scan good ? I enjoy your channel 👍🏻

[@theemperor7500]

I do it all the time and it works fine for me, though I drive a Toyota and those things really are as reliable as scotty said and its never anything big(Just spark plugs or coils hah)

[@kylefowler5082]

i have a bluedriver and can say bluedrivers are pretty great if you have a ford, gm, chrysler, or toyota product because the bluedriver can read all of those vehicles' codes. however if you don't have one of those vehicles get something different that can read all of your vehicle's enhanced codes.

[@thegun1649]

You're awesome about government motors

[@colerumford8480]

Allright so when is Scotty gonna start podcasting? I personally love playing your videos in the backround while I work

[@_KarlS]

Scotty, keep up the great work sir.

[@LuminothLumi]

Hey Scotty, I live in Europe and have a 2013 Alfa Romeo Giullietta 4 cylinder Multi-air Petrol 170HP with manual transmission and 37 500 miles on it. Its front right brake squeaks when the wheel is turned in random angles. Whenever it happens, as soon as I brake it stops. It never does it with cold brakes right after starting the car in the morning, only after I have braked a few times. Weirdest thing is the wheel angle at which it squeaks is random every time and sometimes it doesn't even do it, but when I find an angle at which it squeaks and I sustain that angle (in a turn for ex.) then it may just stay or may fade away. I haven't found any relationship to the weather (does it in winter and in summer) and both break pads and rotor have still plenty to chew through before being worn out. Thanks for any feedback. PS: I read that the DNA system has a break pre-pumping in dynamic mode, could a fault in this be it? Yet it happens even when not using the dynamic mode.

[@steaker-gi9uw]

I’m not sure where you got that info on what dealers pay for cars. Maybe on a 5k car they payed 1/3 of what they charge. But most cars they’ll pay 2-3k less than what they’re charging.

[@stevenwymor1398]

Hey Scotty, I found my car on Facebook Marketplace. Turned out to be the best used car deal I ever made.

[@sendit1158]

Any1 notice Scotty looks like his cat pillows with those glasses lol, love the vids Scotty

[@MrTrevorkemp]

One thing you gotta remember nowadays is in some regions the auto parts stores don't buy factory direct for things like motor oil and stuff they actually buy theirs from Walmart in bulk quantities but they still end up paying at least as much per court as Walmart charges their own customers so if you can get that oil at Walmart it is always going to be cheaper cars usually Walmart orders that stuff by the truckload and then they store it themselves at 1 of many numerous different warehouses that they have access to and usually the auto parts stores just go and buy a pallet from Places like Walmart Every now and then especially in certain regions so Walmart is the one who mainly buys factory direct and then they do a lot of retail selling to the auto parts stores for things like that nowadays.

[@bradford_shaun_murray]

2:20 I like that idea for fishing out their cost price :)

[@Rinyotsu]

5:45 can confirm float sensor in coolant on a Pontiac grandam is the same.if I take a turn too harsh it locks the float at the bottom and I have to give the bottom a couple good thwacks to get it to release.

[@huntfishutah]

Never had an issue with my cheapo one. On several cars

[@uneducatedEntrepreneur]

Andrew same here

[@dustintunis9347]

Same 🤑

[@gene-allenmarshall244]

The photos he puts up are killing me 😂😂

[@jakepollen6839]

This guy is a genius. I am honored to watch your videos Sir

[@DJ_Force]

I had a 2003 Mustang GT automatic with 186,000 miles (one light second!). I had the transmission fluid changed around that time because I thought it shifted funny one day. My mechanic said it was in perfect shape. I kept waiting for it to die so I could justify a newer one, but it pulled hard until the day I finally sold it.

[@transnd]

ODB Auto Doctor supports the ODBLink adapter, which is also the officially supported adapter for AllData Mobile. Unfortunately AllData Mobile isn't cheap and also requires an AllData subscription, which isn't cheap either.

[@jacobrosenberg8423]

What is your maximum age for a daily driver Toyota or Honda?

[@illiag9899]

Good question! I have 2002 toyota echo as daily

[@leadnsteel1428]

Lol... 1994

[@chrisg4908]

Just had to change my belt. It was literally 1/4 in wide! That thing was hanging in there for dear life. I only noticed because the alternator warning and the ticking that started a few days before.

[@jaredricci2809]

What about fixd?? Seems to be pretty good so far. Have had it for a while and works pretty good

[@MemevilleSpeedway]

Fixd vs Bluedriver

[@Kcducttaper1]

That Blue Driver scan tool is worth every penny! I can read all kinds of codes from the engine, body system, transmission, transfer case, live data, emissions stuff, etc... It's easily worth the $100 price tag!

[@mem3656]

Stick with OEM trans fluid and you show maple syrup.. 😂😂😂

[@yojimbe1]

I've been using a 30 year old one ton Ford van for the last 3 years as a daily driver work vehicle. Maybe it's because it has low miles for its age (86k) but it hasn't given me much problems. I put about 30k on since I got it. I side on fixing a solid car over buying new low quality junk that falls apart 3 years later.

[@markimark5102]

Been using cheap obd for 4 years now and counting..

[@2inchfromtheground]

marki mark then you look up the code on a computer, or just assume cat and O2 if it's a honda and low fuel trim for chevys

[@skyhappy]

Same and it works fine

[@kcg795]

Not long after getting my BlueDriver, I was sent a coffee cup. It's my primary coffee cup now. My BlueDriver hasn't disappointed me. I keep it plugged in so I can quickly check for codes on my phone.
