Neighbor's paid professial Mechanic: Cant fix the car and makes the owner buy whole new and costly part that dosent even solve It. Chris: Casualy tightens some screws and a belt and fix the car, sitting for 4 entire fucking years.

The part about compression had me dying, the way he said he didn’t want compression, you know it’s bad when ChrisFix is worried.

Before you do all this work, try your spare key. Last month my car would crank but not start. I paid a garage £260 for two replaced parts, still didn’t start. The problem was the immobiliser transponder chip in the key. It had failed so the immobiliser refused to start the engine. I never knew about this until last month. Live and learn

Let me get this strait: the car just shut off while driving and did not starting again, and the reason for this was that the timing belt skipped multiple teeth. How did this not bend some valves? I'm pretty sure that engine is an interference engine.

I heard the start and hear she's trying. I haven't seen the middle of the video and I bet my life savings it's a timing belt issue, hondas are NOTORIOUS for timing issues It will show up sometimes on the CAN bus with an OBD II. I had a 2000 civic with the same issue, it wasn't obvious until I did an overhaul and saw the timing waay off because the belts were soo worn out it popped out of the pulley

this video is one of the greatest videos i've ever seen. this video is worth 100 dollars just to view it. i also now realize that 99% of mechanics don't have the slightest clue of what may cause an engine not to start. this guy explains his steps very clearly and very logically. great video!

Someone tried to fix something and reassembled that badly - I guess. Maybe the mechanic that replaced the distributor. You can see how much a systematic and skilled approach helps. No magic - just simple logic.

Heh, Isn't it typical. My mum had a BMW 1 series which was about 8-9 years old. It had missfires then stopped working all together. She sent it to the mechanics(a franchise one, but what isn't these days), and they couldn't figure it out without new parts or something like that. Anyway instead of pouring more money into it she sold it to a colleague of hers for what must have been way under 1/10 of its bluebook or parts alone. So she teaches Economics/Organisation at a maratime technical college, so her co-workers are ex-engineers and machinists. She sold it for what is about 800 USD, he fixed it for 80 USD.

As a non mechanic there's nothing more satisfying as fixing a car yourself. It might take a bit of time and patience but it is truly rewarding for the wallet! This guy's videos shows exactly that.

How can a car start with 4 year old gas? Every video on the planet says gas that's 6 months old or older will sludge up everything and cause the car to not fire up. Then you come along with 4 year old gas and it starts up no problem???
ChrisFix4 päivää sitten
I pumped out the old gas and put some fresh gas in! I showed doing that in my "How to Start a Car That's Been Sitting for Years" video, check it out: fititle.info/one/videot/Z3LNd9WMm66WhYo.html

Once you figure out the "puzzle" (how things are laid out and what all parts do as there are always differences car to car) of the car you are working on, it'll be as easy as what you saw!

Hey Chris thank you for this video I think I jumped a tooth or 2 my timing belt is semi loose... my idle is jumping and I have no check engine light and the biggest issues... I can't go past 5.5k rmp either in neutral or in gear. I have a 5 speed civic 97 d15b motor yes it was swapped but its the same looking motor as the one you just work on in this video. I'm going to check my timing tomorrow

Missed a shot at a Dodge Neon "stuck in second gear" for $500. Couldn't get out there to pick it up. Felt bad for the seller since it had been his first car and his wife was making him get rid of it after it sat in the driveway for a while. Texted and told him to Google "neon shift linkage fix." Next day he texted that was it and he took it for a drive with a couple zip ties holding the shift linkage together while he waited for the $20 full set of new bushings. Don't know if he kept it, but if not I'm sure he was able to get more than $500 for it after that.

This was wicked to watch ! 👍. I wish you could diagnose my 2010 Cobalt. I have the intermittent n/c n/s but occasionally smell fuel odour on and off when it does start & it's not leaking from anywhere underneath it ?? Got to start looking at the issue tomorrow when it's warmer outside. You're ace at this stuff. Glad you didn't become a chef or something because I can already cook ! Lol
