Mechanic Parts Cannon is a term referring to mechanics who keep replacing parts without logical diagnosis hoping something will eventually fix the problem.
And that’s exactly what we have with this 2010 Toyota Camry with the 2AR-FE Engine. This car has just been to another shop and they replaced some parts and could not fix the problem. A week later they arrived at another completely different diagnosis and want to charge the customer more.
But what about the initial repairs that didn’t’ really fix anything? this is the biggest grey area with the automotive repair world!
In this video we’ll walk you through the diagnosis process that should’ve happened from the beginning to this customer wouldn’t waste money trying to fix their car which is not right.

Its a shame we can't clone you and put you in all garages around the world! lol. You are like the vehicle detective, you have a very methodical and logical way of working, its a shame not all technicians are as intelligent as you!
i need a mechanic like you in northern new jersey god bless you for being honest and for sharing your knowledge
Great tutorial!
If this were my vehicle, I'd crack the case on that computer with two missions. Looking for swelled capacitors and if I don't find any, I start looking for a blown surface mount diode. The internal power regulation of the computer is likely running low.
You're the Michael Jordan of Mechanic's
How about a junk yard part?
What you said at 23:00 about what the computer is saying about a code is what I have been preaching for years. Read the book on why the criteria is required to SET the code. Never throw parts to fix a problem. Diagnose it! Thanks AMD! I fell down that rabbit hole once. Both banks rich on. L29 454, couldn’t figure it out and finally gave in and replaced the o2 sensors. Gut said no, rich bank 1&2 could not be BOTH o2, parts don’t fail in pairs hardly ever. Guess what, wasn’t it. Used aftermarket sensors and that caused another issue that wasn’t apparent. Ultimately it was a leaking fuel press regulator and then I found my non AC Delco sensors didn’t have the shell to sensor grounded as required by the shop manual for them to work. Wasted a lot of time.
Thanks AMD!
A new computer from Toyota would probably be best, but I have had good luck sending them off and getting repaired for a $100 then I'd throw the parts cannon and replace every sensor under the hood thinking one of them caused the problem..
I'm also one of those guys that if one radiator hose goes i replace them all and possibly the radiator
Seems like a nice guy but the only honest and Capable mechanic around…….
as i was maturing in the auto industry I had to take many courses on diagnostics and electronics to keep up with the tech of modern cars , I even took some courses multiple times just because sometimes in a class environment you miss a detail or two or if you dont use what you learned often enough you tend to forget details. Problem today is that tech is moving so fast not even dealerships can keep up. I have repaired many cars that were botched by dealers cuz of the way they work and time limit put on techs . Its only going to get worse. NO new generation ( snowflakes) want to get their hands dirty and actually do work.
It would be cool to see a follow up after the computer is replaced.
If only you were located in California. Keep it up with the informative videos.
