    Not bad, but pretty vague on some of your points. Bearing in mind that many folks who are looking at these videos for instruction know very little, you need more visual aids. SHOW the damaged ignition cables, cracked vacuum hoses, etc. And on charging systems; Elaborate for people. DC volts are only part of the equation. Not enough amps or more than 0.5VAC is a problem, the former requiring more than a $10 DVOM to check.

    @Rickxx8 He said that listening for the vacuum leak could save having a garage hook up a computer to tell you the same thing.

    It seems to me that a certified master technician would know there is no computer that will tell you a vacuum line is off… I dunno… the entire video is misleading… where is the part about finding an engine problem? Not much help, not much good information.

    Would have been more helpful if you could have zoomed in on the parts you were talking about. That would have been helpful for beginners. Thanks anyways!

    @rumerboyz
    pull your air filter . . .
    if not heavy do a light see thru test . . .
    air filter not a problem . . . check you injectors . . .bet number 1 cyclinder has a problem injectod . . . 2005 is likely closer to 100 K miles.

    I have a 2005 ford 5.4 Gas superduty with 21,450 miles and my check engine light is on. The code says p0174 running Too lean. Could it be the MAF sensor? Do you know of a common problem with this on these trucks? Any help would be great.
