    What are you working on today?

    Nice interaction with Foxwell people while shopping for scanner

    I've been in scan tool limbo for the past few weeks 🙄 My Autel says it can't do it My new Launch says it can "Start brake lining replacement" This YouTuber seems to have had good luck with a Foxwell My advice would be order it off Amazon, if it doesn't work just return it I've been stuck a...

    1990 Dodge, How to determine failure of MAP sensor, IAC, TPS or vehicle speed sensor???

    Sounds about right Pre OBD2 hacks to get around emissions testing were much cruder, yet easier I'd tear into the cluster looking for blown/removed bulbs That's quite a catch It wouldn't be a couple hundred bucks (less), but I am overstocked on various MT2500s and early OTC scan tools Rather...

    Oil guzzler OCI conundrum

    The consensus seems that the (Normal Service Interval) 1 year/7,500 OCIs on GDI Hyundai/Kia engines are a disaster waiting to happen Even more of an L if it's on cheap bulk 5w20 Severe service is every 3 months, 3,750 miles which I'm not sure if anyone is doing 😳 Newer models step up severe...

    1990 Dodge, How to determine failure of MAP sensor, IAC, TPS or vehicle speed sensor???

    True On the flip side, they can have screwy sensors that are feeding bad info, but no light 🤷‍♂️ Only live data lets you catch it Didn't I help someone here a few months back with a Shadow/A604 with a transmission issue, a vintage scan tool was the path to repair 🤔 Hopefully OP doesn't have to...

    TPMS Tools?

    You would simply do an OBD relearn, I can't see why the Autel won't work with OE Honda sensors This video is long form, but should clarify I just bought one to own again for ~$150 NIB off eBay, updates are free for life Some come with some Autel brand MX universal sensors, most don't You use...

    Lost Car Key - Any Way To Reprogram Car To Avoid Theft?

    This is 100% doable, by a competent locksmith The Dodge being marginally easier/cheaper (at least with the tools I have) Only catch is, at least with the GM, you'll have to program two working keys when doing AKL The Mopar product I've gotten away with only one in the system (maximum of 8)...

    Shame Optima batteries aren't very good these days (from what I've heard?) Wish I needed a battery (one will die tomorrow 😔) I guess if it's cheap enough, it's a good battery Probably a true statement of many things at AAP Overpriced for what they are

    That's what I've been cleaning them out on Fuse assortments, chemicals, Dorman clips MAF cleaner is $14+ usually, but at $6 I'll take a few cans Some consumables are dirt cheap, $12 for a pre mixed gallon of coolant isn't too far off concentrate + 1 gallon of distilled water

    🤣 I thought the ~750 closing stores were mainly in the Midwest and West Coast I wonder if my local store is different, it's getting closed but they've already opened a replacement location in Bayonne, the staff told me they were all offered alternative locations, no one's out of a job 🤞 Shame...
