I believe Kia Sedona VQ engine 3.8L has metal timing chain, not timing belt.
Erick what do I do when my ac compressor isn't turning on at all and all my levels are normal?!?!
Hello Eric,
I apologize for posting a question on youtube but i couldn't find your google + page also couldn't find a page on your website. My question is: how would one push start a manual car with a keyless ignition. (if it's possible of course)?
Greeting from,
Holland
What do you think about the VW/Audi story about VW/Audi TDI cars having software that fools the emissions standards? It's all over the news.
Hey folks, does anyone know what this super puzzling problem may have been?
I'm thinking my alarm but maybe you know. Okay, I had the "no start, no crank" that Eric mentioned. I checked everything and even reset the alarm. Now on to the fuses. While the key is turned forward, I'm touching the fuse tester against every fuse. I get to the crank and VROOOOM! My truck starts right up. I turned my key off and turned it back on and it cranked right up. Does anyone know what this may have been? Did the jumpstart bypass the alarm?
Hey Eric, I've seen some of your videos trying to find a solution to my problem. If someone could steer me in the right direction? I have an 08 Ford Focus. I have a problem with it cranking . I turn the key and nothing. No crank. I took it to two different mechanics and they said it was the starter so I had it changed and right before that I thought it was the battery so I got a brand new one. I still have the same problem. The mechanic that changed the starter managed to link a wire from the fuse box. So now to start the car I have to pop the hood and grab the other end of the wire and tap it onto the battery and the Car starts. This mechanic can't figure out the problem and I've had this car like this for a month . I've wasted so much money already. Someone help me please. I'm 25 and going to school I can't afford another wrong direction. Thank you.

Hi Eric,- tell us about your home and family 🙂
Happy FIFTY!!!! 50-50-50!!!!!
Hey Eric I have a 1994 Honda Accord with its second blown head gasket. My fault completely ran with no coolant. Should I replace engine or head gasket. I don't know what to do. Please help
first question was about a kia not a hyundai
I have a question for Eric and the people here in comments. years ago, a friend of mine who was the worlds worst shade-tree mechanic attempted to fix a bad bearing in his factory turbo charged Couger (I think it was a couger) … for days he worked and worked tearing the lower engine apart. Now I am not completely sure all he did under there… But I remember this. He put the rod bearing(s) back and took the car for a test drive. The motor locked up. He towed it home took the piston/rod he worked on out and the rod was TWISTED! Not snapped, not bent but TWISTED. Like some super hero too the piston and rod and twisted it 45-ish degrees. HOW THE FUCK did this happen?! I have wondered for years.
Thank you for no old man.

GoFundMe doesn't accept anything but credit cards and I'm not making a new credit card just for that.
Hey Eric I recently replace my fathers 2002 Tundra timing belt and didn't had the tool to hold the engine still to remove the crank bolt. Since this engine rotation is clockwise I put my breaker bar rested to the frame and crank the engine to loose the Bolt.
My mechanic says there is a loose nut behind the wheel of my car have you ever had this issue before ? .
must haz more Mustang videos pls !
hey, i did your super hi tech IAC check a couple days ago having never heard of it before.
its almost like i know what im doing.
As to certain vehicles, making noises when turning just one directions and not the other, when suspecting a constant velocity joint, one other possibility is inside wheal weights, hitting the stabilizer link on one side only, I had this happen on a 2000 Blazer, 4.3 L, 4X4, this cost me $ 90.00 at the chevy dealer, just for inspection
Thank you Dennis
Wish I could don't have the Internet and your site don't load right on my phone

It also shifts VERY hard, i always check the fluid levels and i haven't had to put any in since i bought it.
I have 2001 Malibu with the 3.1L V6. When I inspected the spark plugs I noticed about 2 of the 6 spark plugs covered with oil just on the threads. What could be wrong? Should I be concerned?
