I have a 2005 ford 5.4 Gas superduty with 21,450 miles and my check engine
light is on. The code says p0174 running Too lean. Could it be the MAF
sensor? Do you know of a common problem with this on these trucks? Any help
would be great.
Strange ticking noises? Dang, if there is a strange ticking noise I’m gonna
get the hell out of there before it explodes!! Nice video. Informative.
Hi Guys, got a problem with my astra 1.7 cdti. No turbo and a rattling nois
coming from near the engine and the left side. Also were is the turbo
located? and how much would cost to repair?
It seems to me that a certified master technician would know there is no
computer that will tell you a vacuum line is off… I dunno… the entire
video is misleading… where is the part about finding an engine problem?
Not much help, not much good information.
This is interesting. I have 13.09 volts with the car off. 1996 Grand am
4cyl. Is this good over maybe over charging.
How many of you have an engine problem?

Excellent auto repair diagnostics tips. Thanks for posting these.
I do, i wonder if someone could answer this. if someone removes the engine
cover at the top to align the workings to the drive belt and put it back on
WITHOUT sealing it with silicon or other…WILL that reduce the engine
pressure and thus performance of the engine or could it be that the timing
is still out? Thankyou/.
lately my 1999 dodge ram 318 has a ticking sound, low level,changes with
engine rpm any help appreciated
This is “Tickle”!

Im 17 and its been about a year and a half that I fell in love with THE
car. She was so beautifull, just… starring into my soul, calling my name.
She’s a Cadillac Eldorado convertible from 1966. I may know as much about
cars as my dog does, but hey, thats why Im here. And I dont care how much
energy or money it costs, Im going to find her and buy her. And we will
live forever together and when my time’s out, either my kiddos gonna have
her, or I will be burried in her.
Thank you for posting this video. Learned a lot from here and helped me
save more money and time with my auto repairs.
