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...
Diagnosis is the cornerstone of all care to be honest. If someone does care about you, your problems, and the accurate answer, they will perform diagnostics to make sure their suspicion is correct.
If you want to know more about scan tools, I will make a video about that next week, so stay tuned…
Think a mechanic should “just plug it in and tell you what’s wrong”? It’s not that simple. In this video, we explain why proper vehicle diagnostics takes time, skill, and real-world experience—and how it can save you money and prevent unnecessary repairs.
🔎 What you’ll learn:
Why reading a code is just the starting point, not the answer
How modern vehicles use complex networks of sensors and modules
What diagnostic time actually pays for (tools, data, training, testing)
The difference between guessing and confirming a root cause
Real examples where skipping diagnosis led to bigger problems
Why accurate diagnosis saves money long-term
How professional techs go beyond the code reader
Whether you’re driving a Subaru, Toyota, Honda, Ford, or any modern vehicle, this is critical information before authorizing any repair.
⚠️ Don’t waste money replacing parts that aren’t broken—diagnosis is how you get it right the first time.
