Has the stalling out issue in the Z28 finally been resolved? Well, you should watch this video and find out if it is the conclusion of the saga that has been plaguing the car. In the video I take care of the radiator leak that has existed ever since I got the car and I go over the *almost* lost art of setting timing on a distributor car and how to use a timing light. 00:00 - Intro and garage upgrades 04:50 - Radiator action 13:48 - Distributor removal prep tips 21:03 - Explanation of timing and how to set it Hopefully this helps anyone else out there that may be running into this same issue.

If you have watched the Coolant Flush and Line Leak fix video, you will know that I tried a quick "fix" on the turbo coolant feed line. That "fix" lasted all of 2 weeks. This video is me covering doing the correct fix for the leak. The reckoning if you will. It's an obnoxious amount of work due to a really stupid design. Here is the original video: https://rumble.com/v3xbuey-chevy-cruze-coolant-flush-and-engine-oil-cooler-and-turbo-cooler-line-fixes.html You can find the line kit I used here: https://www.oreillyauto.com/detail/c/dorman-oe-solutions/dorman-oe-solutions-aluminum-rubber-stainless-steel-turbocharger-line-kit/doe0/667023/v/a/96739/automotive-car-2011-chevrolet-cruze?q=turbo+coolant+line&pos=9 Like, comment, subscribe.

In this really quick and easy video, I show you how to replace the Cam Position Sensor Actuator seals on a Chevy Cruze. This will apply to any other GM vehicle that has an engine from this engine family in it. You only need a couple of tools to do it and shouldn't take you any longer than 10 minutes to replace both of them. Cam Position Sensor Actuator Seal: GM# 55592715 Like, comment, subscribe.

In this video I will be taking you through the process of flushing your coolant system in a first gen Chevy Cruze. I will also show you how to "fix" a leaky turbo coolant return line and fix a leaking engine oil cooler line. I also give you a couple of tips to help certain scenarios and one you can use for things completely unrelated to cars. Engine Oil Cooler Hose: GM 55583807 Like, comment, subscribe.

I started getting really crap gas mileage in the Cruze and a check engine light. Pulled the code and it is a P0004. It seems to be related to the fuel pressure sensor. In this video I show you how to replace that and *hopefully* fix the issue. For most Cruze owners, it will be just a 2 tool job: 10mm socket or wrench for the battery and a 16mm (5/8") open end wrench for the sensor itself. Like, comment, subscribe. Thanks for watching.

Part 2 of the Quadrajet rebuild on the Z28 to try and fix the staling problem. This isn't a fully instructional video, but I did a voice-over explaining what I was doing during the rebuild. See Part 1 for the deconstruction of the carb. Check out Part 1 here: Like, comment, subscribe. Thanks for watching.

Fixing the tach and replacing a choke thermostat in a 1984 Camaro Z28. For the tach circuit board, look up 'Cajun Tach Shop' on Ebay.

In this video I show you how to change the front brakes on a 2011 Chevy Cruze in real time. A lot of people are hesitant to do work on their own vehicles and end up paying way too much money for a job to be done they can do themselves with a bit of time and the correct tools. This is a Cruze in the video but in reality, the process is the same for every car with disk brakes. Just the specific details would change. You could shave off another 5 minutes or so from each side if you don't have to battle with the mounting tabs like I did and if you don't have to hunt down a tool you left out. You would also give yourself more room if you turn the wheel out but I left it like this to hopefully let you see things easier. Apologies for all the heavy breathing. It is pollen season. And it's a rough one. Hopefully more Camaro videos to come soon. Like/comment/subscribe if you are so inclined.

In this video, I do the disassembly and cleaning of the computer controlled Quadrajet carb in the Z28. It ended up being way longer than I thought, even with cutting a bunch of stuff. The editing is a bit choppy as I was trying to trim it down and edit out all of the loud kid stuff. Check back for part 2 where I will be putting it back together and back on the car.

In this video I explain the issue I am having with the '84 Z28 and try replacing the ECM with a used one I offered off Ebay. Will it work? Stay tuned.

Did the clickbait video title get you? Awesome. I recently needed to replace the valve cover gasket in my Cruze Eco. After replacing it the car would start. It would turn over but not fire off. After much playing around, I found the cause of the problem. If you have any Chevy vehicle with the 1.4L engine and it will crank but not fire up, check this. It may just solve your problem.
