| 2017 Toyota Corolla ECO mode | 26Relevance | 3 years ago | Beaner22 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hi Scotty, I’m buying a 2017 Toyota Corolla LE from a used car dealership, it’s an automatic with only 62 000kms on it. When I was driving it a green “ECO” light would go off on the dash board occasionally. I’ve read a bit about what Eco mode does for the car in terms of fuel efficiency. I’m trying to figure out if there is a way of deactivating or turning off this option on the car. Also, is there any negative effects of activating Eco mode on the car in terms of affecting the engine long term. Any advice, opinions, or comments would be greatly appreciate ... | |||||

| Bingo! You broke the code! Pretty much any time you buy into something that is described as "green" or "ECO" you're giving something up and taking on a suitcase full of pain. | |||||
| Trade Corolla for Maverick? | 31Relevance | 2 years ago | BrandonAfcan | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Scotty, I own a 2015 Toyota Corolla LE Eco in excellent condition with 160,000 miles on it. I ordered a Ford Maverick XL AWD 4K tow package, and it is scheduled to be built, soon. I love my Corolla, but I live in Alaska, where it's winter for 9 months out of the year, and I own a boat. I need a vehicle that has AWD, low center of gravity, gets good fuel Economy to commute around the wilderness, and can tow my 2,000 lb fishing vessel that weighs close to 4,000 pounds with gear and fuel. My Corolla has been great in town, but it obviously can't tow my boat or ... | |||||
| Impressed with Sports Mode | 31Relevance | 5 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Not really a question, just kinda of an FYI. I usually drive a stick shift, so I am in charge of telling the car when to shift to give me power or Economy when I need it. I went on a road trip with a RAV4 and was playing with Eco and Sport mode on the automatic transmission. I must say, I am quite impressed with Sport Mode. I feel like it knows when I want to shift. It reads my mind. It just knows. Eco mode on the other hand is erratic. I get it, it’s meant for fuel Economy. It doesn’t get how I drive. But I do appreciate how it saves me gas. So I ... | |||||
| Need a replacement OBD2 port for a 2016 Mazda 6 GT | 27Relevance | 5 years ago | BoomerWells | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Made the big mistake of attaching one of those dash cam power supply adapters to the OBD2 port on my car to facilitate parking mode functionality, it shorted and melted part of my OBD2 port. Dealers have been no help in advising on replacement part. Does anyone know about what can be done here? Thinking an aftermaket replacement port is needed -to be rewired on. But don't know who makes a good one, where to find them or what kind of details are needed to be known so I get a compatible replacement part. I have seen some things come up about various OBD protocols, depending on year / make of car. Dash is displaying the service engine soon light and a charging system malfunction warning is on my information screen. The car is running fine and the charging system also seems to be fine (lights have been on for a few weeks with no noticeable effect). Any insights here would be greatly appreciated, due to the damage to the port - I can not connect my BlueDriver OBD scan tool to reset the codes to see if they come back. The dealer advised that there is no other way to connect to the car's diagnostics to reset them either, other than the OBD2 port. | |||||
| Answer to: Using dashcam hardwire taking power from obd2 port | 27Relevance | 5 years ago | BoomerWells | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I can tell you FIRST HAND - DO NOT EVEN CONSIDER ONE OF THOSE DASH CAM POWER CONNECTORS THAT UTILIZE YOUR OBD2 PORT! I bought one and have come to regret it within 10 days of installing! Something that I should have researched ahead of installation, the piece of crap (probably from China) actually shorted out and partially melted the of my OBD2 port! It also caused my service engine soon light to come on & I now have a charging system malfunction warning on my dash! As result of the damage to the port - I also can not connect an scan tool to it to reset the codes and determine what DTC it is throwing. I have a 2016 Mazda 6 GT and the apparently - getting a replacement OBD 2 port is a problem. I have been in touch with 3 Mazda dealers who didn't have a clue what to do for me as none of them has ever had to order an OBD2 port before, they couldn't even find the part in the system! I'm asking Scotty for help on this one as to what I might be able to do here. | |||||

| Eco Mode and Engine Lugging | 26Relevance | 3 years ago | rkent92 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hello. I drive a 2022 Honda 11th Generation Civic Sport (3500 miles) with the naturally aspirated 2.0L k202C engine and cvt transmission. I like driving my car in Eco mode, I like to think its easier on the engine and drivetrain in addition to the gas that it saves being real cool. My only concern is that the Eco modes affinity for higher gears might set my engine up to be lugged to death. I'm not sure that's even prossible though given the cvt and the computer systems of the modern car but I'm no expert. I would like to hear the input of a seasoned professi ... | |||||
| Answer to: Is Eco mode good or bad for car engine? | 26Relevance | 5 years ago | Glen_stet | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| In my experience, the Toyota Eco button doesn't really affect the mileage or stress on the engine or trans. But it makes the car "feel" different, with higher rev shift points, the trans downshifts more readily, the throttle responds a bit better. It's more important to put your right foot into Eco mode. | |||||
| Answer to: 2012 Ford F-150 xlt, 3.5L eco boost | 26Relevance | 5 years ago | USAFdozerpilot | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I wouldn’t tow consistently more than 9k lbs on a stock half ton even with a V8. And that’s kinda pushin it too. The 3.5 Eco has a lot of power, just comes with a cost. They chew through sparks and they need a hot soak now and then to keep things running smooth. You also have a 1st gen Eco which is a hit or miss as far as a good motor. I disagree with @kesterpaul62 those Ecos will tow. But as a said it comes with a cost. | |||||
| 2014 ram dodge eco diesel | 26Relevance | 3 years ago | kakumara | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Looking at buying one of these trucks and it's been getting good reviews with minimal problems. But I still got a few question's some that have easy answers but doesn't hurt to ask. 1: how reliable is the Eco diesel? I'm planning to tow around 6,000 pounds with it and use it as my daily driver. The truck I'm looking at has great service records but I've never heard anything good out of anything that has the word " Eco" in it. 2: I've heard that diesel engines are more expensive to fix is this just because you need a more specific mechanic to work on them? ... | |||||
| Ford F150 - 5.0 V8's vs 3.5L V6 Eco boost | 26Relevance | 4 years ago | cluelesscarguy | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| @scottykilmer I know you always have good things to say about the 5.0 V8's in the ford f 150's. My question is are the 3.5L V6 Eco boost still decent? I can purchase a brand new 2022 f 150 with a 3.5L V6 Eco boost for about 20k less then a brand new 2023 with the 5.0 V8 due to a difference in interest rates between the two. I am stuck on what to do. The price seems nice on the smaller engine but I want to make sure I make the right decision. I normally drive about 20,000KM per year, I do all the maintenance needed on time, oil etc. Any suggestions would be g ... | |||||

| I bought a 2013 Hyundai Sonota 2.4 L, automatic new, it now has167000 miles. The motor was replaced at 100k at the dealership. The traction light started coming on intermittently. Then it started to occasionally shift hard into second or third gear or go into safe mode; not responsive to the pedal for a few seconds. I changed the transmission fluid and it was great for 4 days then started again.I put the vehicle in Eco mode and everything stopped. Turn Eco mode off and it resumes. Why? | |||||
| Answer to: ECO Mode or Normal Mode? | 26Relevance | 5 years ago | MountainManJoe | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Eco modes should not increase engine RPM. If you're flooring it just to make the car achieve the speed you want then perhaps you should switch to normal mode. | |||||
