AC System Basics

In this video I cover the basic components of the AC system. It is a very brief overview of the components of the basic automotive AC system. I try not to get too technical in this one, I still feel burned by the O2 sensor video that I posted. I did however feel I covered the basic components and what they do to keep you cool. I think I will be posting future videos on the subject if this one gets some response.

Throttle Cleaning and V6 Access

These videos were a part of my series "Quick Tips". I shot them both on the same day and posted them together. The Throttle Cleaning video was a video dedicated to BowlingBallOut who posted a question about a sticking throttle on his Saturn. He was so pleased with the result he sent me my first video response. I was happy to help with his car and possibly getting into his wife's "good graces". Chalk that one up for another person helped by EricTheCarGuy.

The second video, V6 Access is about getting just a little bit more room when your working on a transversely mounted V6. I think it will be helpful to those who are looking to swap out spark plugs or in my case replacing a hose to the heater core. I hope I save some scraped forearms here.

O2 Sensor Basics

I have fallen behind on these posts lately, sorry. I posted this video last week as a video response to the check engine light video that seems to be my most popular video. I did some cool custom graphics for you on this, made em from scratch I did, took me a whole day. Thing is this video seems to have fallen on it's face. I thought I covered the material well but perhaps I went a bit too fast with my voice over and lost some people. It's funny how you can put so much effort into one video and not get any response back, while the video that I just threw together to get something up gets all the attention. Well at the end of the day it is all market research for me because one day soon you will have to purchase the good information. I will still be posting free FYI videos but if you want the nitty gritty you will have to pony up some green to get such useful information. At this point I think the more I do the better, I think I'm still figuring out my audience and they're still figuring me out. So for now I will just keep making videos and see what sticks.

Checking fuel Pressure, the quick way

Here is a video that I posted as a response to the Honda main relay video. I had a lot of questions on that video about main relays so I decided to do some clarification. I tried to stress in the original main relay video that if you don't have fuel pressure to look to the main relay as a possible cause, I think this video does a better job of covering that instance. I must stress however that this is a quick check and should be performed with a great deal of caution as gasoline is very flammable and should be kept away from any ignition source. If not you may have more than a no start condition to deal with if you are not cautious.

I've had some great questions posted to this video that I hope to cover in future episodes such as, old gas, sticky throttle, and a dirty fuel system. I like questions, it makes it easier for me to cover topics that you have an interest in so keep them coming.

Test Drive

Test Drive is a new play list that I created for the ETCG YouTube Page. I took some of the old videos that I posted on my ICK69 channel and re-edited them for ETCG. These were videos I did of cars that I thought were cool, or cars that I had to drive for my old job. I hope these videos will be entertaining and give you some food for thought. Watch the whole play list if you get the chance.

The design of the opening sequence was contributed by Cputub1, a friend of mine on YouTube. I added the motion graphics and the rest is history.

I hope you enjoy these, they were fun to make.
