Quick Tip-Throttle Cleaning

admin — Sun, 03 Jan 2010 03:42:06 +0000

This one goes out to BowlingBallOut who posted a question about a sticky throttle on his Saturn. It was a great question so I decided to make this video in response to it. There are many different configurations of throttle assemblies but for the most part if you have a throttle that is sticking you might be able to fix it using the procedures in this video. I am aware you may not able to purchase spray throttle cleaner in some states now but I’m sure they have some alternative available at your local parts store.

No Start, Diagnostic Basics

admin — Mon, 07 Dec 2009 10:15:07 +0000

This video is a response to the Honda Main Relay video that I did. I’ve had a couple of people come to me with questions about no start conditions and how they should go about fixing them. This video is a starting point to a series that I plan to cover on this subject. The point I make in the video over and over is, don’t make assumptions. Assumptions get expensive and can frustrate you to the point of homicide, follow these simple tips and it will lead you down the path of success.
