1. 23:59 lmao the customer 😂

2. 👊🏻👍🏻

3. 14:40 in biology this is called "sham feeding". Nice!

4. At a certain point in my own automotive history every time I bought a crank sensor for my Jeep Cherokee I brought a multimeter with me and tested it at the counter. They are usually DoA if you're going to any place other than NAPA. I have tested 2 bad right out of the box at the counter at 2 different times. And I think that was before I bought one that was already bad and discovered it for myself in the garage while I was battling a no start problem, so there have been 3 DoA CKP's in my history. And I think the brand was BWD ironically (Broke When Delivered as you like to say)

5. Mr. O, I’d love to have your knowledge, on cars, and scan tools? You’re an amazing technician! You know right where to go, and what to do! 👍👍Two thumbs up, for you!

6. I have seen this problem B4. Sugar in the gas, a lot of it.

7. The best automotive repair channel ever. Keep it coming Mr. O.

8. Buddy rips one liners so good and do fast.

9. You are cranking it great, thanks

10. 👍🏻

11. I miss the days you didn't need $10k in electronics, and a 4 year degree in Rocket Surgery just to open the hood.
    "Progress"

12. If you wanted to play with dog shit you should have been a dog catcher.

13. great work Eric, appreciate your helpful diags. A lot of experience and common sense.

14. Probably the cam shaft actuator

15. Know this is old, but to anyone watching, why did Eric jump to spark plugs once he had crank signal? Wouldn't the next step be to see if both cam and crank were in synch? I do mechanical repair, but not too in depth computerized diagnostics, so maybe I'm missing something.

16. 👍👋

17. that's what she said

18. When ya'll dump the old blade out into your empty palm, since I am 75 if I did that it would be standing vertically in my palm, but someday Eric O. Thee wilst be old too.

19. KIA
    NOKIA

20. KIA – Killed In Action
    Actual military term

21. I hope you service more kia. they had potentials.

22. Never sell your (Kia) soul.

23. Does this sound stupid? I drive a 2001 dodge 1500 4×4 . Body is starting to be in rough shape. She runs like shit 50% of the time, runs great the other 50%. I feel like I would rather drive her from here in Ohio to you in I believe New York . Solely because I don’t trust people. Yet I’ve watched you solve every issue brought to you

24. I plugged in my sensor and what came up was Code 666…you are screwed! Abandon all ye hope and grab some lube…

25. My Wife has this car, and when I work on it, I tell people I'm working on my Wife's Soul, lol. For anyone that has this, it has a rubber timing belt and it's an interference engine, so if it snaps and it will eventually, it could most likely will, (I knew a guy who got lucky which is why I worded it that way) destroy the engine. It should be replaced at 80k to a max of 90k miles.
    Story time, she bought this used it's an 2011 but virtually the same as a 2010 so while doing maintenance on it, she added it's been making a funny tick or rattling noise, so I check stuff out broke out my automotive stethoscope, and I heard this crazy garbage noise on the Cam housing and looked it up rubber belt interference and I asked her did they change the timing belt before you bought it and she said I don't know, the odo read 198k and I was like oh no…when I got to the belt I was saying my own OH BABY!!! and well there's your problem lady, that belt was on the verge of snapping it looked like a cat got to it thinking it was grade A smoked Alaskan Smoked salmon lol!!!
    Now, I've always worked on my own cars as I'm a mechanic, and I love to price check shops in my area to get estimates on how much it would cost to fix this. My wife's soul (lol I can't help it) it's been smoked in, high mileage some minor dents a few scratches it's been well used and kid friendly lol, so it blue book value was 2k at good, and so I know if it weren't for me that car would have died because shops around wanted lowest was 4k for the job to highest 6k, and lol it cost me 300.00 bucks to do it myself. It's not a hard job, it is time consuming especially if you do this at home and not on a lift like I had to, and I can see it being very stressful on a Diy-er because if your timing is off you could destroy your engine. The cost to repair it was over the value of the vehicle so I'm sure had my wife not met or married me it would have been toast. Also as we dated I found out the mechanic she was seeing was ripping her off, and I like to have all kinds of repair manuals for all cars I own plus with Internet and tons of websites and YouTube I just like to have all available resources at my disposal, because even with 36 years under my belt all vehicles have the same and different things at the sametime, wiring diagrams you know good to have this info on the vehicle you're working on. So I looked and looked and couldn't find a repair manual anywhere not even Haynes which I called and was told they don't have one because KIA didn't make enough of them, I said to the nice lady BUT THEY'RE EVERYWHERE!!! So anytime I'm out driving and see on I say, They Didn't make enough of them," my Wife sighs lol. Overall these are super easy to work on. Thumbs up!!!

26. bad spark plugs

27. Look at me I’m a crank sensor 😂

28. My first thought was how long has it been sitting and is there fuel getting into the engine.

29. A friend's new car never seemed to run as it should, and the engine was noisy. It turned out the timing belt was off by one tooth.

30. Desiel in the gas tank ???

31. Mis fueled or contaminated fuel?

32. Hi, Eric. Watching the old detective series, "South Main Detective". The plot thickens. Like molasses baby. Anyway, thanks for sharing! Stay healthy!

33. I work at a car auction you would not believe how many jump boxes we go threw.

34. I see said the blind carpenter as he picked up his hammer and saw.

35. Our 2012 Soul, 2.0 DOHC, autoT, had it's transmission fail at 105K on the odo.
    Fyi
