I have a 1994 and it has a springsytem type thing right jn front of the plastic piece and the plastic piece is covering the main starter bolt. Im trying to figure out how the heck to get it off. Is it ok to remove the spring thing
Yes it can, but it is highly unlikely. If the purge valve is stuck open, it will suck fuel into the engine, which mat cause a P0300, MAYBE! in all our years of automotive repair, we have not seen that happen.
Great video! I appreciated it very much. Quick question here as well about a 1988 ford mustang 2.3 engine in a 89 mustang. Background is I got my car from some guy and it never had the computer ground, it was cut right in the middle and Twirled away. One day I connected it and about maybe a week later I experienced my solenoid getting stuck then the car trying to keep starting itself whether it was started or not,new battery new solenoid then I have no acceleration power and it would cut off at lights. Do you think that computers is my issue in this case? 😅
Evaluation of the system is not just for moisture. It is also to remove air and other gases from the system. In turn, to be able to fill system with refrigerate. Im a diy guy and also a hydrostatic technician. On a smaller scale with a/c systems but look up cavitation in hydraulic pump. Compression of air in systems like these causes parts to be damaged and failure.
I have a 2015 SXT. It doesn't have the integrated condenser/trans oul cooler. The trans oil cooler is separate from the condenser and the integrated condenser doen not fit the trans lines
We have noticed that some models within that year range did not come with them incorporated. Not sure if this video will help with those, but if you do the job, let us know.
@OnlineAutoRepairVideos I've gotta wait for the correct condenser to come in. For that set up the condenser needed is the one without the trans oil cooler. The only thing that's different is the trans cooler clips on the driver side just below the condenser clip and bolts on the passenger side in a stud that's attached to the condenser.
Thanks guys this has been really helpful and I’m looking forward to part 3. If I’m doing timing belt and water pump, do I have to remove that cam gear? I was wondering if I can just lock em both together and remove other stuff to get access? Messing up the timing scares me most about doing such a huge job.
Totally agree with you that messing with timing is a scary thing, and that is exactly why when we do ANY video on timing chains or belts, we try to give as much detail as possible. Just follow our series CAREFULLY, without skipping sections, and you will not have any problems. We've had people skip over important parts, and then ask us WHAT HAPPENED when the car doesn't start.

I’m about to do my 06 as well as the rocker cover gaskets, but it’s in much much better shape. As much as your arguing about being in each others way, this was the only video that actually shows where everything is and is not in 480p
Heat shortens the life of anything that is inside the engine bay. I put heat tape on all of the hoses and pipe and anything else that is prone to heat break down. The car battery takes priority since they get hot and you know how battery loose theyre juice when excessive heat are raidiating inside the engine bay.
Thanks for this video! As an experienced mechanic i was dreading this job on my wife’s car but your video made it not bad at all. Only thing i did different was undo the heater core hose clamps on the inside of the car after i had pulled the heater box away from the firewall a bit, like you i hate those kind of clamps!
You may not have to, but we do it just incase. Sometimes, because of the blown head gasket, the coolant will wash away all the oil, which will cause no compression. So doing this will ensure you have compression when you go to start it.
Thank you so much….. great team effort!!!! Your repair process worked for me for a 2013 Honda Pilot left rear door lock replacement. It was a slight difference but worked!!! Your video was very helpful and entertaining!!!!
With all due respect you may want to teach them first how to use tools and how zip ties work. The poor kid was struggling to use the clippers to cut a zip tie. But overall, it's a great idea to pass on your great knowledge. Thank you for sharing.
This video has 7.5k views...500 of those are me in the last 2 wks, prepping myself for this big job. 2 questions to the viewers and/or the poster, himself... 1. Would this be a proper/perfect time to replace the belt? (Ive had the car for 7 yrs, so the belt is at least that old) 2. My compressor stopped working about 4 or 5 summers ago...(yeah i know, what took so long?)...would there still be freon in the system, or would it have leaked out somehow, over all that time of being inoperative? Thanks in advance, 🫡
LOL on the 500 views are from you! #1 Yes, this would be a great time to replace the belt #2 Yes, there will be freon in the system UNLESS there was a leak someplace, like the compressor.
@@OnlineAutoRepairVideos thanks so much for this video, and your prompt response to my questions...you are the true MVP! this video gives me the confidence to do this, when i didnt have it before....but i also didnt have $1000 laying around to have the shop install it.
This is a great step by step video including how to disconnect each of the various plugs and clamps. I liked it so much I had to do my first ever $$ Thanks. And of course I subscribed.
