| Answer to: Does pressing paddle shifter still activate sport mode? | 16Relevance | 2 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Not sure if your car has all three, but this is a good way to understand how sport mode works. Normal Mode, Eco Mode, Sport Mode. All these different modes control shift points and throttle response. Normal mode is, well normal. Throttle is normal. Shift points are steady. Eco mode makes the throttle less responsive and the shift points shorter. This is to help save you gas, at the expense of slower acceleration. Sport mode makes the throttle more responsive and shift points longer. This helps in acceleration, at the expense of gas. ... | |||||

| Answer to: Is driving a Grand Cherokee in Sport Mode okay? | 16Relevance | 3 years ago | Kaizen | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| I use sports mode when I need to accelerate really fast. Like getting onto a freeway. Or overtaking other cars on a freeway. Otherwise I am in Normal mode. I tried Eco mode, and it is ok. I much prefer better throttle response. Eco mode just lags. There is a time and a place for it, if you know are just cruising and don’t need to accelerate fast. | |||||

| About a small engine carburetor Generator | 16Relevance | 3 years ago | Muiz Muhtasim | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| Hey Scotty, Hope you're doing well. I know this is kinda off topic but, if there's any place to get a solid answer this is the forum to go. I got a Chinese made Genmax generator that idles rough on Eco mode. It runs good on normal mode but the Eco mode is the problem. I tried cleaning the carb jet without taking out the carb as it's hard to fit back anything on those small generators. Any idea what might be the problem? Thank You | |||||

| RE: Turbocharged engine worth it? | 16Relevance | 4 years ago | Dad2LM2 | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| The Eco boost has been discussed extensively (check the search bar above). As I recall, the Ford guys think the big Eco boost is better than the little one, and the V8 is better than either but is going downhill, so the gap in reliability is shrinking. The Tundra V8 is clearly superior to the twin turbo 6. The 6 has a small advantage in HP, but not much, and I’m hearing the the real world MPG advantage is minuscule. Given the proven reliability of the 5.7, it’s the winner. Problem is, you can’t get a new V8, and the new truck is much more livable than the ... | |||||
| Answer to: 2022 Corolla Hatchback CVT shuddering | 16Relevance | 4 years ago | Aaron M | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| After taking it to the Toyota Dealership, they were able to drive it with me in the car. They explained that is happening because I have the Eco mode on and whenever you press on the glass very gradually, the computer eventually switches over to the normal mode making it jerk ever so slightly. They were able to show me that if I took it off of Eco mode and put it into the Normal mode, it doesn’t jerk. I am now keeping it in normal mode. Thanks for everyone’s responses! | |||||

| You can try it, but the Haldex is a pretty complex and finicky setup that falls apart when not maintained. It's not like an old Jeep or 4WD truck where you can get away with deferring maintenance. | |||||

| They are total crap. Friend with an F150 with an Eco boost and when he first bought it he bragged about how much power they had for a V6 and as I expected it broke down like mad. He could’ve got his fixed under warranty but he didn’t want to because he figured out how much of a pile of 💩 they are. The only good gas engine ford makes now a days I believe is the 5.0L V8. Don’t buy and Eco boost! | |||||
| Answer to: Shopping for a Ford Explorer | 16Relevance | 3 years ago | Justin Shepherd | Submit Your Question HERE | |
| In a vehicle that size, the only thing making it go in a reasonable fashion is the turbocharger. If you took that thing off, it would be an absolute dog. Scotty did a video back in Houston about one with a turbo problem. Get a naturally aspirated V6 if you must have the Explorer. Less can go wrong and you're not abusing a tiny 4-banger. I don't think they make a RWD option on the Explorer now. I'm pretty sure it shares the same platform as the outgoing Taurus full-size car, which was either AWD or FWD. The days of body-on-frame, RWD SUVs like the old Explorers are over. A comparable vehicle to that nowadays is the Bronco. | |||||

| 2014 Chevy Cruze Eco 6 speed LOL, I noticed you flashed a Chevy Cruze while you were talking about the crap they are making these days. Before I was married, I am a Toyota guy (Tercels, and Celica). I also owned a Honda Civic 1993 split hatchback. However, since my brother-in-law at the time was a GM technician, I bought into Chevy. Since I would normally, move them out before 100k, this was serving me well. However, now that I went through my family separation and the Economic crisis that comes along with it, I find myself with this 2014 Chevy Cruze Eco tu ... | |||||

| ... shares things in common with the Camry platform. Heck, the current RAV4 had three sibling SUV’s: Toyota Venza, Lexus NX, and Lexus RX. The latter two a super popular. Just a guess on my part, but parts should be plentiful. I haven’t looked, just a guess. With the CRV tire pressure, I think it may be the actual cheap rims. The CRV I drive upgraded the rims recently, and we haven’t had the low pressure problem come back… yet. Hopefully never. Who knows though.
