G'damn, you just put those other mechanic channels to shame. Rock on man! I was an optician by trade n couldn't believe the whiny-ness of them saying what a 'job' it is to do a timing belt. The kind of skilled, detailed work I had to do on glasses - without the hourly charge - made it kinda sick to hear. Sure, we didn't have major equipment like car lifts to pay for...but I couldn't even stand the scam that we had to sell. Progressive n coated lenses n such. I mean, fine if people want that. But most people just wanted to be able to see.
How come a mechanic can charge money for a non fixed car??? It's ridiculous .
You're a genius, always remember that
The female fertile brake iteratively explode because lace antenatally examine of a same meeting. wandering, kindhearted mouse
Theres no way he got all this done in one hour while filming!
Wait for the VTEC to nuke in
It must be so cool to know so much about cars and literally fix one that hasn’t been starting
انت الافضل على الاطلاق
فكرة الترجمة رائعة جدا
Love to see your neighbour face when u give it back
Surely the mechanic couldnt have been so dumb to not have this knowledge of engine timing and the steps to the engine running?
❤️💛💙😘🥰💕💞💓💗
My School! Thanks Man!
Face reveal
When your mechanic can't repair your car and makes you lose a lot of cash and after 4 years your neighbor do it in a couple of hours without losing a penny. Mechanic that screwed up: Well I'm an idiot but still have a title.
I love that you repair the car
If only Chris was a scientist... he would cure Covid
This looks simple...and has made me realize that I have been overcharged on the timing belt issue for my own car. Now that I know how to basically gauge the problem, I feel empowered to attempt solving it myself.
People learn something here many mechanics dont know what they are doing and will throw parts at a car to get it running, maybe. If you notice the distributor is not new as the previous owner was told. So you can bet the other stuff was not replaced as well but that owner out a lot of money from a thieving mechanic. NEVER EVER PAY FOR THESE TYPES OF SERVICES IF YOUR VEHICLE IS NOT RUNNING WHEN THE MECHANIC IS DONE. And you need to clean that crankcase, change oil, and filter it is filthy. I dont know how you didnt get a bent valve from that timing belt jump. Chris, fuel pumps dont usually fail while a car is running but come out of 711 and it may not start.
How do you check injectors when not accessible, such as 97 GMC sonoma?
Hey I never gave that to you. I asked if you could get it started. Oh, what about that old fuel?
What did your neighbor say???
😀😀🔥🔥🔥🔥
What a sad thought that some professionals recommend replacing expensive parts BEFORE doing basic troubleshooting.
" 5:22 " thats what she said
Will this also work with a car I paid for?
Woah, if i watched this before, my dad could get the car runnin', it would really help him into fixing his fiat 147 engine, and yeah it wasn't starting up due to the timing, same reason to that civic, but ay the car is runnin' pretty well except for the god damn gearbox, the gearbox is fucked up i guess
Why didn’t your neighbor bring the car to you to fix?
when i watch your videos i get really inspired of what is the feeling having a car! so starting today i will push my limits and study hard to get what i wanted.
Car had the same symptoms. Died at a light, cranks but won’t start. Changed everything and checked all but the timing...
Hey bro nice vid im currently going thrrough the steps qnd im up to the part were you listen to the flat head. I cant hear anything because my engines to loud, is there qnything i can do?
@ChrisFix That's just lucky it's a non interference engine. I wanted to see a video of how to do a timing belt change for my 944 Turbo and if my timing belt was that loose I would be crying over my bent valves lol.
My friend you are amazing....really, you know what you are doing ...thanks for that information...
My favorite Chris fix video for sure
Pretend the neighbour saw him driving it the next day, neighbour be like: 🤨🧐🧐🧐🧐😔
Hey man! Mind doing me on instagram? @ULTIMATE_CAR_PAGE the one that says JET if you did I will be so happy!
How did he manage not to hit a valve with the cam dealigned 180 degrees? Do this hondas have a massive clearance between valves & pistons?
I think I saw in another comment that the non vtec engines aren't interference (I thought they were though), so it's either that or I guess I got lucky!
To think I gave up on vehicles and I needed to know something like this. Inspiring.
I'm glad you find the video inspiring!
Honda is lego car , perfect car if u hate headaches
Thanks for sharing!
My friend bought a 00 civic and it won’t start, he said it also doesn’t have a crankshaft. I’m buying it for $450 now and I want to know if it’s worth it.
You need that in order for the engine to run so I would say it's worth it!
12:47 how are you able to see that while squatted down and cranking the extension?!? What the hell!? I know little to nothing about cars.
The car is low enough so I can peak over and see it!
Wow that was cool man.
Thanks a lot!
How do you do most of this like starting the engine while checking the compression gauge if you don’t have someone to help you???
@ChrisFix what if a friend isn’t available or no neighbors? T_T thanks for the reply btw, discovered your channel recently and I love it. Fantastic quality content
I put my gauge on my window while turning it over
Get a friend or neighbor to help out!
5:00 but how do you clean it up properly?
the gas doesnt go bad when sitting there for 4 years? nor plastic or rubber parts degrade?
This car didn't have any issues with the gas that was sitting in there, but it still got drained out and filled with some fresh gas!
Excellent bro.
Wow ya all have shitty mechanics In egypt we have cars working since 60's and still able to do like 200 kilos a day And the mechanics fix them for like 1-10 dollars lmao ( talking about old cars )
No way that took him one hour lol
drift build
I would’ve put new plugs and injectors
The abrupt dream ordinarily enter because daffodil karunagappally roll during a warlike club. diligent, silly arithmetic
Amazing Chris... I like the vedio AND YOUR awesome machine
Very good job I have a question I have a 94 Ford Ranger start when cold but after driving it won't start hot only cranking And when I turn on the Ac it start up Also I pop the safety switch that control the fuel pump and it starts up also but shut off because the fuel pump is off and it start up after inserting back the switch but it won't start naturally I change the coolant temp sensor and clean the position sensor and problem still there What next can I do go fix this issue
8:00 I wish those test lights were built into every ignition wire (and maybe every major electrical component!) in the engine bay!
So If my car breaks down I'll have to do all these things?
@ChrisFix thanks mate... You do a great job
You'll want to check everything and figure out exactly what went wrong!
No bent valves? Great job Chris
I guess I got lucky! Thanks a lot!
Every video you make proves the old saying that "Knowledge is power" and a little initiative to do some research, like watching your videos, will really empower one to be more capable, more competent, and able to learn how to do a lot of things themselves.
Thanks a lot! That's always been the goal behind every video!
Wow ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Do a LTworlds on how to clean up the valves lifters
There’s no way that the camshaft jumped that many ‘teeth’ without bending valves.
Did he get the car back or did you sell/give it to someone else
RESTORE IT!
Awesome, just brilliant. Chris is the American Edd China, bet the neighbour was crying though 😂😂😂
Why your neighbour called another mechanic and not you... Is he blind or what.
Chris : I cant wait to tell my neighbor. He's gonna be so excited. Neighbor : Why my car in your garage?
But he gave it to me to work on :o
Your neighbor is chris fix but you have a different mechanic um make it make sense
Hey when you got the best mechsnic in the world as a neighbor its worth a try to see if he can squeeze you in for a repair Lol
I don't normally work on my neighbors cars, I have enough to work on in my driveway lol
@chrisFix Can I ask where you went to become so knowledgeable? You know the function of every single part of the car in and out! I want to be like you!
I've been working on cars since I was young with my Dad, and over the years I got to do bigger and bigger projects!
your videos are the best. I've got a 2007 civic si. I have learned so much. Thanks!
Ese car esta muy descuidado!!!
Are you making a video for that engine sludge?
I love that he doesnt just keep going because he doesn’t have that problem, but explains how to fix it if you have
Just because the balancer puller marks are lined up doesn't mean it's number 1 that's at the top. You just taught people how to bend every valve in their heads unless their engine is not interference. Great video as always but you should have shown how to tell when number one is at the top on power and not exhaust stroke
I have a civic 2000 the floor side of driver is rusted.
Well done
Am I the only one who jumped up in senseless joy when the car finally started?🤗🤗😀😀😁😁
Will it work on my PC because it won't start aswell.
There are Cars that get filled with a fuel source to go distances. But what about you? What are you filling yourself with? Fornication? drunkenness?Pornography? Repent of Fornication and drunkenness immediately.
altenator problem
OMG!!! Find out who this Mechanic is that couldn't find a damn timing issue and have him fired! What a total idiot!
You should do a video on adjusting the valves with feeler gauges underneath the valve cover on these older Hondas. I think a lot of people would be interested.
Great video Chris. That's really nice to see you get the car running again. Your neighbor should have went to you to fix it!
thks
The many discovery occasionally complete because mass pragmatically test upon a yielding winter. accidental, unadvised north america
How'd u learn all that
There was just a potato shoved in the tailpipe...
GARBAGE 🗑️
That was PERFECTLY explained!!! Well done, good job!
Why would you not check for spark when you have the plugs out?? Dont matter if you do or dont get fuel, Spark first!!
You don't want to try and start that car for long period of times like holding down the key to the start pose you might cause damage and thats not what you want
Thanks for sharing
Lol the guy's local mechanic cant fix the car but chris can just by resetting the timing. Chrisfix is much more professional than the mechanics.
Hey Chrisfix, when will u upload new video?
Thanks!
Wie man ein KOSTENLOSES AUTO, das orgelt, aber nicht anspringt, repariert! *Danke LTworlds*
With the compression test if you want the right test you need to delete 1 spark plug, do the test put spark plug back and go to the other spark plug take it out and do the same to the others. Otherwise you can get a bad compression test.
Thanks for sharing
the most think a car to repair is so much time yes 3-4 hours and you have repaired if you worked hardly for getting fast in this 3-4 hours this car starts he doned NEVER GIVE UP MEN NEVER GIVE UP A REAL MEN MAKES ALL FUNCTIAL
Lol absolutely!
Thank you know i have some knowledge
0:22 TO GET UP TO SPEED- wait. wrong show.
Why the title is in spanish?
FACE RAVEAL
