Do you plan on doing any more of these AMA video chats?
I have a 1994 Ford Bronco, is bleeding it is brakes different on it than on ETCG's first video, that is to say are bleeding ABS brakes different than on a vehicle that does not have ABS brakes?
Is ETCG in Lima, Ohio?
Hi Eric, I have 2006 Honda Accord 2.4 ivtec.
I feel vibration in the dashboard and steering, ONLY when the AC is on, car in idle and AC fan spins.
vibration goes off if car moves or AC is off or AC fan stops spinning.
Can you please advise me?
Eric looks STONED 😮
having a hard time finding gm syncromesh.
is there any brand derivatives that work as well?
or is there a place that sell it online?

sabaru valve adjustment intake exhaust usually the noise in most cases

Hey Eric when is the next Q&A?
What happened to these. Next live vid was stated on his forum to be March 13…there wasn't one…hasn't been a new AMA for 4 weeks now.
Erick I like to know how take out spark plug on Honda CR-V 98 that stock but I don't want damage the motor I trade in cool and hot but don't work you can please help me on this tank you.
hey eric i'm sure you heard about the Superspeedersrob youtuberes challenge with Rob Dahm. you should enter with your fairlane!
Erick you inspire me and i want to teach me how to dismantle the engine or patch me the procedures
i was wondering how come you dont you do tool reviews anymore?
dear Eric, my civic 96 recently fuel consumption, what is the main cuase the problem ?
The BMW needs the guide bushings replaced for the blocking pins in the transmission. They can be accessed with the transmission removed. BMW has a service bulletin for this issue on some of their vehicles. The bushings need a special driver to install the bushings. They are accessed under a plug on the outside of the transmission. I hope this helps.
Should I use high mileage oil in low mile car?
peak lithium
Thankx Eric
"You're stealing my electrons!" lol made me think of my old organic teacher talking about some type of electrophilic substitution reaction
Stang with noise at idle, do you have heat shields? go go gadget hose clamp to the exhaust if so, poof no more noise.
gogo gadget power steering fluid!
Chevy stalls after warm startup, CTS, coolant temp sensor. Keep in mind, there are 2 one for gauge and one for computer. please change the right one ;P
Eric regarding hydrogen fuel cell cars, they still have a similar environment issue as electric cars do, where do you get the power from?
To produce hydrogen gas for use in the fuel cell you need to electrolyse water to separate the H and O atoms, this requires an external energy source, so while the use of the hydrogen to produce electricity for the car is completely clean the production of the hydrogen may not be.
Oh how the GM Synchromesh friction modified fluid has helped so many S2000 and Acura TL 3G 6MT owners. It really is magic stuff. But it has to be the "friction modified" version. it will smooth out 3rd gear notch just for the condition you describe if the synchros are too far trashed maybe not. I fear the person with the 1st to 2nd issue in the s2000 may be out of luck. But nothing to loose except the cost of the fluid to try it.
Do you wrack a diciprin?
Can automotive techs build an engine or is that too much
are you posting an ETCG vid tomorrow?
This channel is dieing! Hurry and change that Eric!
Eric-
Very NICE "D'OH!" at 40:55! Homer Simpson/Dan Castellaneta would be proud.
Hi Eric I apologize for the long question that you had to skip. I really try to make it short but I believe I was on the wrong venue. I posted the full version of the question on the forum. Hope you can take a look at it. Keep up the channel I Love it
On the BMW E46, it could be the detent pins that push the shifter back to 'middle' are binding up. The don't want to allow the shifter to move after a cool night. Once the tranny is warm, oil gets in there and the aluminum casing expands around the steel pins (the aluminum coefficient of expansion is greater than that of steel) allowing the pins to move easier. That's my experience with the E36 M3 manual ZF 5spd transmission. The BMW manual transmission fluid is ATF. I've used dirt-cheap and super-expensive ATF and they all seem to work fine. Redline D4 ATF is a very common synthetic recommendation. The other guy said the clutch slave could use a bleed or replacement. That's a relatively cheap fix. Replacing the detent pins requires pulling the transmission.
How can you tell if you have a sludge problem? I never buy new cars always used and can't vouch for PO history. And is it the road to CATASTROPHIC FAILURE?
One million subs just around the corner. Nobody is more deserving. Or has a more knowledgeable fan base. Eric, you are an exceptional man!
Eric I've got a question. I understand if you don't have time to answer. I have a 95 F150 with the 5.0. My problem is I'm not getting fuel so replaced the fuel pump. Didn't work so not getting power to the fuel pump. If knew what I was doing I would have checked that first lol. Then I replaced ignition switch. Fixed it! that was three weeks ago. two days ago it left me stranded again same problem not getting fuel I replaced ignition switch again because it was under warranty but didn't fix it this time. any suggestions on what I should check or do. The only diagnostic tools I have are a test light and multimeter.
co2 cant be bad if plants supposedly turn it into oxygen and thrive on co2 growing faster and bigger and numerous. its just a money grab for carbon taxes.
Please oh please do a video about voltage drop as you mentioned, i'm troubleshooting a lot of vehicle electrical issues lately.
