IM WORKING ON 08 IMPALA WAS OVER HEATING AND CHANGED T STAT AND IT JUST NOT BLOWING HOT AIR THO.. IM DOING A COMPLETE FLUSH RIGHT NOW AND HOPE IM DOING IT RIGHT. YIKES
They're the same exact sensor, with the same part numbers. There are just two of them and one is located at the top of the transmission and one at the bottom. the scan tool should tell you which one is which. The P0842 code is for sensor A which is at the top.
Very professional video. Real yoga for mechanics. Raising the car a bit higher on jack stands and removing the wheels does make it slightly easier. Seems like the starter may have been replaced (less than professionally) before because of the dangling electrical connectors and missing underside shields. Line drawings of starter were very helpful. Thanks.
I have a 2008 F-150 XLT 5.4 that I just purchased a couple of months ago. When I would start it up I would hear a creaking sound where the actuator is. One day it was a little cooler than normal and I turned the temp from the blue(cool) to red(hot) now I only have HOT air blowing out at all vent positions. The actuator does not creak any more, would that be the cause of the all heat & no cool?
I'm have truck studder while putting in reverse. I replaced the driver side. Does this mean the passenger went out now and how do I till since I no longer have codes.
Ok so I am a total newbie, but I was just trying to clean my engine and I somehow managed to take off the fuel injector rod, spill gas and loose one of the bolts to secure the fuel injectors. Would this cause a P0332 by confusing the computer or causing an actual knock if the driver side rod is missing a bolt?
Excellent video. Would be good to hone in also on why if just ONE bank. This is my situation. I solved all the air intake leaks etc. But still getting random/pending P0174: Bank 2. Thanks!
You are missing a detail.... You didn't show us a close up of the thermostat housing and how you positioned the thermostat in it plus whether or not you need an additional gasket for the housing besides the one that is on the thermostat. I think these are very important details for someone who may not have done this before.
So my guages are doing the same thing. 04 z71 Tahoe. However mine has been scrolling through the different languages randomly. Could this be part of my problem as well?
You never want to use the olde solder, always clean one side at a time with solder wick, then apply new solder, make sure to use 1 mm thickness so you can easily control how much you put on there
Hello, are sensor a and sensor b the same or different? There is a shaking when shifting from 1st to 2nd gear. Which one should I change? Greetings from Turkey

How does ethanol affect ECM/PCM fuel trim calculations? Does it require the same 14.7:1 ratio calculations or some other ratio? If so does the ECM/PCM sense whether the fuel is ethanol or gasoline and use a different ratio for ethanol? If the ECM/PCM assume gasoline is used and does not adjust for the use of ethanol what is the impact on air/fuel calculations and fuel trim outputs? How does this affect scanner outputs, rich, lean, etc.? Is there a YT video that addresses these questions? Bottomline: How does the ECM/PCM adjust for these two different fuel types with different optimum air/fuel ratios, or does it not, and what are the impacts on scanner readings and diagnosis? Again, is there a YT video that addresses these questions?
@bluedriver is it normal that the car says engine hot ac off when starting the engine? I am finishing a big job including water pump, upper and lower intake manifolds, and spark plugs. Maybe I made a mistake elsewhere
I’ve had this code (P0171) in my 2006 Camry since I bought it. 280k miles. This is the only code that ever gets tripped and then BlueDriver says this is the only code confirmed. My live data shows the LTFT on Bank 1 being high at idle and then smoothing out some while driving. STFT on Bank 1 being very close to and sometimes at 0% while idling then higher while driving. Something else I found suspicious was the live data showing the Absolute Throttle Postion being high. It reads at 16% or so at idle then jumps all the way up to 27% while driving and fluctuates between those two numbers while driving. I’ve replaced the MAF sensor, engine air filter, fuel filter and fuel pump. What could it be? This car has had some exhaust system work done to it previously I was told but it does not have any other codes nor does it make excess noise. What does the absolute throttle position sensor being high indicate and what ultimately is causing my lean condition? Please help if possible. I’d like to fix it because that’s the only thing wrong with this car’s system right now and it runs and rides great otherwise.
All of a sudden my truck is running like crap. Misfiring.. have knock sensor codes and p0200 injector control circuit code... Would bad knock sensors cause this?
