Funny - I had an Exploder once - when it gave me that warning light, I hurried away to a shop. Got told there were problems with MAF and fuel regulator amongst a few others. I also knew I had a bad battery, so had that on order, and got to replace that before anything else got worked on. With the new battery all the other problems solved themselves. This is the fine art of CANbus, which were supposed to make this search for faulty components childs play. Well, it obviously didn't, when it doesn't even take your own power supply into account. On another occasion, I had a Nissan that wouldn't start. Shipped it off to a shop, got bad compression on all four cylinders (2l engine). Changed the battery on that one as well - all readings ok, and started on the first turn. All of this was in Norway, so I hate to say it, Ray - but the faith in automotive repair business is not halting just in the US. I think this is more of a global problem. This is why I think it is so awesome that you make these videos, showing how both good and bad fixes and even some scams could be done. Thanks a lot, dude!

Honestly a lot of times batteries have been charged poorly and have a loose plating full of bubbles rather than a nice solid plate. I've found if you fully discharge the battery then charge it on a current limiting power supply at like 15v with a .05A or less you cab keep batteries alive far longer. The higher voltage with limited current helps rebuild the plate in a nice solid layer.

Depends on the codes. Some are short term storage in volatile memory. Others are stored on non-volatile memory so that they can still be seen in the history. Depending on how the ECU is programmed, the loose connector may be a temporary code that clears when rectified, or probably after power cycling as you say. It's probably still in the stored though, as a historic code in the non-volatile memory. (Until cleared by a scantool.)

@@NemoConsequentae unless you have a brand new car, unplugging the battery is going to reset the check engine light every single time. They are called "hard codes" and will remain in the computer and will not set the check engine light. When you restart the car and what ever module says there was a problem, sees that the problem has not been rectified then I will set the check engine light again. A lot of emission and engine codes will stay hard set until after the car has been driven for a period of time, in which the module will clear itself after a certain amount of time has gone by with no issues detected. That's why unplugging your battery to clear your light before an emission test doesn't work and most of the time the light comes back on before you get there.

Somehow I get the feeling Ray just reeled in a TON of fish with this video. So many caught that cap idea but so many more are ripping him about the way he handled the battery testing. From all of his past videos it is pretty obvious that this HAD to be a gag video. Ray is a far better mechanic than that. As for the girl's father, he should be declared a health hazard not just to his daughter but to everybody she gets near to on the road after he "fixes" things on that vehicle!

My first thought was upper and lower intake o-rings because of the difficult cold start and feathering the gas to keep it running and you said that you needed it to warm up to pull it onto the shop. Had to replace the ontake o-rings on a 2000 Ford Explorer. Nice amount of work to replace $6 worth of o-rings.

"NO I DIDN'T FORGET THAT CAP" lol. Keep up the good work bud. I wish I knew a mech like yourself. I would feel very confident in giving my vehicle to you for repair. I worked around cars all my life (I'm now 78) and my official trade was as a car upholstery guy but the cars of today really scare me. I refer to them as rolling computers. The average Joe can't 'tinker' with their cars anymore. I have a 2015 Chrysler 200 with the 3.6 engine and my only recourse is to take it to the dealership for repair.

I'm old school, I guess, but I would have checked the electrolyte level in the old battery. You will sometimes find the plates partially uncovered which reduces the capacity of the battery. Add distilled water, nothing else.

@zeddy mcdog Stop the video at 4:58. See that thing that says DANGER/POISON? That's a plastic cap you can flip off with a flat blade screwdriver. Underneath you will find three cells where you can check and adjust the electrolyte level by adding distilled water. It is the easiest possible thing to do and used to be considered routine battery maintenance. If this were your own battery and the plates were uncovered you might try buying $1.00 of distilled water before buying a new battery.

@zeddy mcdog There are plenty of serviceable flooded batteries still in use like the one in the video. The only thing you ever add to them is distilled water, you never add acid after the original charge. And yes, a battery with low electrolyte and partially uncovered plates can be restored to some extent with the addition of distilled water to the correct level. I thought you might appreciate learning something simple that might save you a few bucks. Mechanics don't do it because then they lose a battery sale and they don't want comebacks.

I havent used the snapon tester but several other dealer branded versions and I was curious if you had the unstable battery warning because you had selected "out of vehicle" test. I had run into that problem selecting out of vehicle battery test when connected due to the small draw the modules pull so the voltage wasnt stable. I could be wrong, just a potential reason for the headache. of course having to "charge and retest" is another waste of time. Great content broseph.

Out of vehicle test on the GM tester did that if you did not unhook the cables almost every time. There is always voltage passing if cables are hooked up.

Your battery tester was set to "out of vehicle" instead of "in vehicle". Once you removed the leads it then worked because it matched that tester's settings.

From my experience with testers like that, "in vehicle" just means it will will ask the user to perform a series of actions like turning on the headlights, starting the engine, rev it to a specific RPM et c. Basically, it tests the battery under load and the charging system. "Out of vehicle" is correct if you only want to test the battery, regardless of whether it's located in an engine bay or in your attic. Leads connected or not doesn't matter.

I have only watched a few Rainman Ray vids. I think the battery test was part of the free inspection many shops perform for customers. CLEANING CABLES is an extra service. TESTING the battery is part of the inspection. I love all the keyboard warriors who have between zero and a little experience telling Ray that he is wrong, etc. I have been a mechanic from 1970 to 2020. STFU, if you dont know what you are talking about! I, too, saw the cap left off, but I watched to the end. The MAF was fixed in two seconds. I questioned the battery testing, but believe he mad the right call. And, yes, I believe Dad did the lousy alt repair, and left the MAF plug undone. Ray may not be in SMA territory yet, but I think he is plenty capable!!!!

I was yelling "Mass Air Flow Sensor!" as you fought to get it into.the shop. I had mine fail at work on a mk 2 Ford Sierra once. It took so long to get it to my mechanic friend. Had no idea what was causing it to buck & die like that. It must've taken 45 minutes to do the mile or so to his garage. Anyway, I was a sweaty heap when I got there & when he just unplugged a connector & it suddenly ran well enough to use so I could get to the scrappy to get a 2nd hand one it was one of those "WTF!" moments. So, if this ever happens to you. Those symptoms at the start of the video are very idiosyncratic of the MAFS failing. Just unplug it. The car will run well enough to get you gone or to find a MAFS in a scrapyard. It's a fine piece of wire that's heated by it's resistance. It's placed in the air intake & by the amount of cooling that takes place as air rushes past it (it's resistance changes with temperature) the computer can calculate how much air is coming into the intake. This fine wire can break or, more often, get dirty & fail. When you unplug it the computer takes a guess and it'll get you home.
