1. Hey eric love the channel man and sorry to ask but I got a 97 ram that stutters when your on the gas and feels like its be held back, I get popping once in a while that sounds like its coming from the cat, has a low idle but idles smooth and it stalls once in a while when you let off the gas and hit the brakes and I don't own any tools to diagnose problems or anyone to help me out so would you mind giving me some suggestions or just show up and fix it lol.  and its got the death wobble. anyone with intell on this would be appreciated   thanks

2. That first one reminds me of my 1994 Ford Ranger with the 2.3 Lima. If the vacuum reservoir is completely depleted, then the engine will start, then stall immediately before running fine after starting it a second time. Rapidly pumping the brake pedal can cause the engine to stumble as well. Personally it doesn't bother me, but I felt like throwing this out anyway.

31. Thank you Eric

32. Hi Eric, I have watched almost all of your videos. They have helped me allot with servicing and maintaining my cars. Thank you very much and keep up the good work. 🙂

33. I have a '95 Ford Taurus. The front end is popping really bad. It seems to be mostly when the suspension is articulating over bumps, and when steering. It seems like a ball joint or something, but I've replaced most of the front end. I did the subframe bushings, tie rod ends, control arms and ball joints, strut rod bushings, sway bar end links (replaced stock plastic junk with metal), springs, and passenger CV axle. I torqued everything properly with a quality torque wrench. The lug nuts are tight. There is no play in the wheel when lifted off the ground and wiggled. After I replaced everything it was fine for awhile, then started getting gradually worse again. The car doesn't seem to pull or anything. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

34. I have great respect for your realistic, helpful attitude and technical ability. You should be very proud.

35. Here's a doosey for you…I have an 06 Lexus is200 which my dopey girlfriend tried to drift in the wet but spun around and mounted a rollover gutter. The Insurance company just told me to stick it where the sun don't shine so I am left with my pride and joy (not the girlfriend) with a broken off rear left wheel and axle by the look. I can fix the panel work but don't know where to start with the rear left detached wheel and axle. I haven't seen the car but it comes home tomorrow. I fitted adjustable coil overs and am praying that they are intact( I'm broke). From the pictures it isn't close to a write off and I probably rate my ability at 7 out of ten mechanically. If I didn't just take a kick ass sleeping tablet I would be crying over it right now.(Not really). The wheel fell off trying to drag it onto the tow truck. i will have more info tomorrow when I get home from work and take a close look at my baby (again not the girlfriend). I look forward to any helpful advice. Thank you to anyone who can provide me any direction. I can't thank you enough in advance if you can give me any advice whatsoever. Cheers. Jarrod, Melbourne, Australia.

36. Any idea on how to get moisture out of and seal back up a headlight? MY06 Subaru Impreza HID headlight.
