Eric ,how can code P2770 be fixed in a toyota corolla 2006 based on this video? pls
I use 1/4 od 3/8 id for my brake bleed tubing.
Hey quick question: What brand of car do you find it's easiest to repair? Something a home mechanic could tackle most mechanical issues. (Say up to 10 years old)
Hi Eric, i have problem with my Honda Accord 2014, i am getting 'check charge system' message always, and from last week i got my 'Navigation system power lost…' message also, can you help please,
In case no one has mentioned it. Fogging oil can also be used for cars that have sat for awhile and the parts are dry. Change the oil, pull the plugs, spray each cylinder for a couple seconds, replace the plugs and see if it starts.
how do you feel about chrisfix hitting 1 million subs
YOU INSPIRE ME ALOT, THANK YOU FOR EVERYTHING YOU DO FOR EVERYONE
I feel like this could be a podcast that I would totally listen to
Really motivating thanks man
my sister like you man
Hi Eric. I know this aint Q & A time but I'll take a chance anyway. I have a '93 Mercury Capri convertible I just bought. When I let the clutch pedal out to drive it, it seems to travel quite a ways out before engaging to move the vehicle. Is there a way to adjust the clutch pedal travel? Bruce
Eric, if you're going to have a meet up next year I would love to come out. I would have this year but I'm celebrating my moms 50th birthday out of the country. Love all the work you do and all your contributions to us car enthusiasts.
Been out of the loop a little and i was still under the assumption that you were using the T5. After seeing the nice dyno results, I was just a bit concerned if you actually planned on driving it hard. Then you said TKO 600 in this video. Sigh of relief.
had one other day Chrysler voyager may be called different in usa auto box not changing up gears ecu behind nsf wheel arch liner was full of water and grit and circuit board was toast have you come across this fault code said gear box speed sensor but i checked other stuff first found the ecu problem
The truck with the 8 or 9 MPG…
Would increasing compression with either smaller chamber / smaller runner heads or shaved heads, a milder cam and taller gears help? Bang for the buck, where would his money best be spent supposing he kept that truck?
you need to do a like spike when you are live it's pretty cool
eric!!! big fan of yours!
Who are the nine losers who gave this video a thumbs down?
Since you're saying that you make a living out of the adds from Youtube, it make me feel really bad that I use ad-blocker. 🙁
i just realized eric has 7 cars ….more rides more problemos 😉
