Once again, the difference between a mechanic and a parts-changer.

This repair would have entailed dropping the fuel tank for access to a "failed module" according to the scan-tool, would have cost the customer many more hundreds of dollars, AND STILL WOULDN'T HAVE FIXED THE PROBLEM.

This is the difference between a guy who's highly competent and conscientious, who understands computer-aided AND old-school diagnostics, and the clueless majority of folks "fixing" cars today.

To paraphrase Smokey Yunick: Best Damb Garage on the Internet.

Eric O is a real stand up guy and fantastic Mechanic. Really enjoy watching his videos and seeing him work.

I follow Royalty Auto Service on FB. I think they are in Georgia. They preach diagnose to be sure, before you start replacing. Every year there are fewer and fewer competent  mechanics. There are very few that I trust to work on my personal vehicles, especially my old (60's) cars. Manufacturers can program those computers to spit out all kinds of random codes.
