Simply the best. Cutting things open makes it easier for me to understand how things work. Thank you, more power to your channel. Please do turbos/superchargers
My man…You just earned a new subscriber w/Notifications, a thumbs up, a share & a comment. It’s the very least a person could do after you took us all to school!
I had a mouse chew up my air filter and make a nest inside the throttle body. Clogged the plenum open, so when I tried to stop at a stop sign it was like pushing the brake and gas pedal at the same time. Not fun! If you live in a mouse area make sure you check this part of your car once in a while. Also congrats on 100k. Been here since the beginning!
Better the intake than the airbox for the cabin blower! Happened to mum's Rav4 during COVID when she was immobile for weeks at a time in the winter, in the Laurentians. The smell...ouf.
A lot of newer systems use magnetic Hall-effect sensors for throttle position for a contact-less solution... Similar to cam & crank position, wheel speed sensors, etc.
You sir are a legend! Explained everything in perfect detail yet so concise and to the point -- better than most 'auto engineers' imho! Keep up the great work! Subd!
Hilarious! using his brother's frozen underwear! Never saw anyone work on their car in freezing condition. Respect for the warrior mechanic. Where is this being filmed?
I've never ever seen anyone go so deep in stripping an engine in 3 minutes of video using his brothers personal belongings. With skills like this I'm sure you'll be able to get a new toothbrush in no time!
Coolant lines at the throttle body are to heat the intake air at idle to improve fuel efficiency immediately after (cold) startup, to combat the phenomenon of clowns still "warming up" their cars in 2018. It's been true for decades now that the best way to warm up an internal combustion engine vehicle is to drive it!
I don't warm my cars...i let the motor oil and trans oil to flow and lubricate my cars properly before a take off. Another thing that a like about " warming" my cars, is to let the revolutions go down ,that way when i put my car y gear, the trans hit the gear smoothly. Only takes me about 5 minutes to reach operational temperature.
I always thought it's to warm up the throttle body to prevent ice from forming. You know, moisture in the air, hitting cold metal, water condensate and freezes.
Great video...you sure know you stuff..my 2002 Chevy gives me a hard tome starting on a cold engine..once I start it...it will start first crank no mater how cold it is..its just the first start...any advise?
Dear Speedkar99: have a technical question for you! In some designs, the air intake tube draws air from within engine compartment, while others have a more elaborate design that takes air from a gap where outside air is channeled. Is one design better than the other? Thank you in advance. Watching your video is the highlight of my day!
Thanks I'm glad you enjoyed the video. The trade-off between the air intake location is cooler air comes in if drawn externally, however it's subject to sucking in water or debris if it's in a spot that is prone as such. A longer tube may also lead to some airflow losses and the engine bay packaging and air filter accessibility also are factors that are considered when designing an intake.
Great video, I was wondering something, and maybe you could answer; Could I switch an instrument cluster say like the s2000 cluster into a toyota camry? (I don’t plan on putting one in a camry just as an example)
I feel sad for his brother. He didn't get a chance to wear his underwear since his brother become a automobile mechanic. It's feeling of great comfort and free on air.
Is there an advantage by using frozen underwear as opposed to room temeperature soft underwear. I have observed it was frozen solid and this would indicate high moisture if not even direct water content in the underwear. Is this a fire prevention measure? Perhaps it works by lowering fuel temperaturre below it vaporisation temperature for a given ambient air pressure? All in all it i sna interesting idea.
I agree with your observations. Meanwhile the underwear just happened to be sitting on the windshield cowl and was the closest convient thing to sap up the mess. It's not everyday do you just have your brothers underwear just sitting there on your car's windshield you know...
hi i want to know if an ebay toyota techstream software is safe for a car cause ive heard of the ecu being bricked and if you have a link for the product please send it!
