Eric you are a legend. Keep up the good work.
Eric The Car Guy loves the Ramones! This guy is truly amazing in multiple ways! 🙂
Erik. If I may. These videos seem to be quite common recently. But both audio and video are not optimal. If you need help improving the quality of live casts and local recordings I'd be happy to help free of charge. / IT Guy
Good stuff Eric
For all you people posting questions for Eric to answer, please WATCH THE VIDEO at 32:01 and read the video description. He's not answering questions from the Youtube comments.
For The question at 4:30 I had the same issue, turns out it was a vacuum hose. Made it sound like the spark plugs where broken, spitting and backfiring. Stalled if you didn't hold the gas, but ran fine above 2000 rpm.
Btw Eric, you have a very chocolatey radio voice.ÂÂÂ
thiker oil can help with the low pressure problem….some times…
sorry I missed it.ÂÂÂ
96 grand Cherokee battery drains over night….ÂÂÂ

Hello eric what do you think about a 03 celica with 130k on it
Hi!!!!
😛 One of my cars has a Yaris 1KR-FE engine.
They're literally $600 new. ÂÂÂ
Never heard of that particular issue in them though.
sometimes my check engine appear and then disapear a few day after, i scan it and it say that one of the cylinder is to lean, what i need to check now ? having in mind that the check engine will disappear the next 1 -2dayÂÂÂ
I have a 2009 cube and the catayltic converter code come up but has gone off for about a month now. What should i do i have smog in september should i just wait and see if it passes or should i replace it.
i have a pontac firdord that i want to fix but i do not have the money what do i do to get if fix
for the fellas…can you explain short term and long term fuel trim and what can affect it…THANKS ERIC THE CAR GUY
Unplugging injectors has never caused me a problem, but always bothered me a bit. If you got one mid-squirt, it could go super lean and detonate, I'd think. If you cut spark, especially at idle, it should be fine.
And that noise and roughness that disappears at higher rpm sounds like it could be a bad injector – stuck open, closed, or with a leaky o-ring. It can really make a 4cyl slam around, but disappear at speed.
How will we ask questions?
this will be my first live event 😀
