In this video, I break down how to perform a Relative Compression Test using an oscilloscope. This fast, non-invasive diagnostic method lets you check engine health without removing spark plugs. You’ll learn how to set up the test, connect a current clamp, record the...
Secondary ignition diagnostics are often overlooked in modern vehicles due to coil-on-plug systems—but the waveform still tells a powerful story. In this video, secondary ignition waveforms are captured and analyzed using an oscilloscope to reveal what is actually...
Today we’re rebuilding the rear brake calipers on a DeLorean — a job that solves common issues such as dragging brakes, uneven pad wear, sticking pistons, and handbrake imbalance. The DeLorean’s rear calipers have some unique design quirks, including the integrated...
Learn practical lab-scope workflows you can use today. We reinforce the basics with real-world tests: checking primary ignition current with a low-amp probe, verifying an entire bank of coils via the common power feed, reading fuel-pump current through a fuse-loop...
Everyone’s talking about how bad the automotive industry is right now — low pay, burnout, lack of respect, and technicians leaving the trade. But that’s only half the story. In this video, I talk about what’s really going on in the automotive world — and why it’s not...
So many people have come in with a problem in this system and had no idea what is going on. I have had to explain this more times than I can count. If your car smells like gas, has a check engine light, or throws codes like P0440, P0442, or P0455, you might be dealing with an EVAP system issue. In this video, we explain what the Evaporative Emissions System does, how it works, and the most common reasons it fails.
🧪 What you’ll learn:
What the EVAP system is and why it exists
How it traps and recycles fuel vapors
Most common failure points: purge valve, vent valve, gas cap, charcoal canister
How a loose gas cap triggers the check engine light
Common EVAP-related trouble codes (P0440, P0441, P0442, P0455, P0456)
Symptoms of a bad EVAP system (gas smell, CEL, poor performance)
Diagnosing small vs large leaks
Why EVAP issues can affect emissions tests
How modern vehicles monitor fuel vapor integrity
Perfect for owners of Subaru, Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevy, and other modern vehicles. If you’re chasing an annoying CEL or trying to pass an emissions test, this video will help you understand and fix EVAP problems.
⚠️ Don’t ignore EVAP codes—they might seem small, but they can point to real leaks and system failures.
