  I know this comment doesn't have much to do with the actual repair but there is a lot to be said about you Eric O for always trying to remain professional even when people bring you to your wit's end.  I've always respected you for never bad mouthing customers and remaining civil when dealing with others.  It's so easy to start swearing and speaking poorly of others but rather shows a man's true class that he doesn't allow his emotions to puke out his mouth uncontrollably.  I myself always present myself as a professional, even when I have mixed feelings about others.  Some people don't realize that your credibility suffers when you project an immature attitude.  For you personally, your actions only enforce to me that you are a truly top-notch human being.  SMA number 1 auto repair channel on Youtube. Period.

  I was saying check the Spark Plug for cracks! Then you swapped it with number 2 so ruled that out immediately! 'Smoke Guy' is gonna see all that smoke coming out the doors & come back! Keep your chin up BIG O!✌️

  Single cylinder miss was a bit of a red herring...A systems approach is always best.<br>Well done Eric.

  Free Tip Sunday. Once you see the smoke pluming out, if you turn down the flow rate of the smoke until it just dribbles out of the leak you can see exactly where it&apos;s coming from better. Something Mark Warren teaches in his Evap classes.

  bro u the man!!!!! I was going crazy with the P0304 code, on my 96 gmc sierra. I did the spark plug test, wire test, and to the conclusion that it was the injector spider. So I took a break real quick went to my desktop, hopped on you tube and &nbsp;coudnt find anybody with the same problem,so I started working on something different and ill come back to it. so i came across your video on Friday. s o today i have time to work on it and we ll see wat happen. <br>:elbowcough:

  I watched a mechanic rebuild carbs one time (an older Honda) and spent 1/2 a day and not fix anything. &nbsp;He finally did the basics and found low compression on one cylinder. &nbsp;If he&apos;d done that first he&apos;d saved a lot of time. &nbsp;You are correct in checking fuel, spark and compression first. &nbsp;Eliminate the basics!!

  This type of problem-solving mystery where viewers get to play along while watching is really interesting and very engaging. It&apos;s a lot of fun trying to figure out the problem before you do, and I believe it results in much greater knowledge retention vs just a straight tutorial video about how to fix a specific problem.<br><br>Really valuable content - thanks for putting it together!

  My last truck was a 96 GMC with the 5.7 vortec. &nbsp;They used crappy neoprene gaskets. &nbsp;I replaced it OEM once. &nbsp;Then later on (100 K or so) I replaced it with the Fel-pro gasket. &nbsp;Steel and rubber. &nbsp;Sold it at 190K in 2010. &nbsp; Several friends that had the same year truck. &nbsp; They ended replacing them as well. &nbsp;That gasket dried and cracked. &nbsp; Good truck though. &nbsp; Wish I&apos;d have just kept that truck and bought a another Motorcycle. &nbsp;I ended up with a 08 GMC. &nbsp;Also has been a great truck and currently at 170....

  My biggest gripe with the Encore and the reason I hardly ever use it is the loading of data when changing pages in the data stream. I can’t stand how it always has to load data from the page before you can scroll again. Also the countdown after quoting things like special tests. Gear oil is the worst. Especially old gear oil.
