fuel leak by intake plunum 1995 s10 blazer
I meant when the engine is cold from not being used all day
I Have a v8 with a 4 barrel holley double pump.. When its cold I need to spray starting fluid to start it . Then it starts fine all day, but when it cools off. . I have to repeat the process…Help………
HEY, QUESTION FOR YA, ERIC THE CAR GUY….DOES THE 2001 HONDA ODYSSEY HAVE A RESET SWITCH FOR THE FUEL PUMP? PLS HELP
@splenda4ever can you turn up your volume sir??
Could you speak louder? Thanks Sir.
How can you check Power boosterbrake if its working . Ressan the pedal goes to the floor what could be the problem from manny
Have 2001 jeep Cherokee want to know how to it get to run cooler normal temperature runs at 210 maybe a little cooler thinking and high flow products water pump thermostat and housing will it could their be a problem with using those item
I have a solara and it makes noises while turning and hitting bumps. My car it was the end links and upper bearing plate
You are right about engineering being based on cost but sometimes the cost is during production assembly. Some stuff is engineered to make it simpler to assemble the vehicle and may adversely affect the poor guy who has to do repairs later on. Examples: Spark plugs, water pumps or alternators, regular repair items that require lifting out the whole engine to replace.ÂÂÂ
March 26….that is my birthday!
Do bad struts affect your alignment? I got an alignment and my car still pulls and pep boys says I have to buy struts which they're charging me $500 for. Is this true or are they just wanting more from my wallet?
If a car burns oil can u do an compression test?
Can you do a video on adjusting idle screws
Diesel + grey smoke under acceleration + engine is warm, then atomized fuel is leaving exhaust unburnt. If engine is not running too cold, then it could be a timing issue.
thanks…first time with q/a as good as your videos….bob
Thanks for answering my question.
Nice Shirt !
what would you prefer a 8 cylinder engine 6 cylinder engine  or the 4 cylinder? I had a 4 cylinder van running at 2.4l which took about the most 26mpg highway no ac running now i have a 6 cylinder car running at 3.0l and gets yes you heard that right 30mpg on highway no ac, Any comments on that? thanks!

Eric, Huge Congratulations on passing 400,000 Subscribers!
Love the duck, it's the perfect addition to the Couch Gang. About that transmission fluid; I think I'd change it and see what happens. If it goes from red to pink again, there is obviously an issue…but it could just be really old fluid too, so changing it might help.
hey Eric,
thanks so much for your videos and your great sense of humor. i've learned a lot from you and saved $ as well.ÂÂÂ
your one of the coolest tech/mechanic!!!!!!
keep up the great work!
Looking forward to the Fairmount videos,  Hoping it turns into a track car
Great show!ÂÂÂ

best car youtuber Thanks!
Eric, i recently bought a 1983 Chevy k10 with a supposed crate 350. He has no paperwork but it looks and sounds new. I am trying to get the identification codes but i cant see the rear driver side code(too far in back), and the head is covering the other id code on the passenger side front code. Where can i find codes to identify exactly what i have?
Hey Eric, what would be the best way to find out what type of air ride bags i would need for my car?
which do you think would be better, an s13 240sx ka24de eventually turboed on stock internals, or a dc2 integra gsr?
Hi Eric, have you ever done a how to do your own Tune-Up video???? I have a 1997 Honda Accord
So I have 77 Datsun 620 with 70,000 miles. And I am wondering If I should trade it for a 1992 Mazda Miata with 190,000 miles. Think it is a good trade?
what do you think about a 1976 ford f150? im considering rebuilding one thats lived most its life as a rusty farm truck
i think i have krilled my heli-bob and it wont re-furbulate lolÂÂÂ
why cant i chirp second gear?
