205: Infiniti Q50 Dual Throttle Lean Condition Aug 13, 2023

Show notes

On this episode I go through the diagnosis of a 2015 Infiniti Q50, 3.7L V6, with a P0171 and P0174, lean condition. I'll share my thought process through the diagnostic steps tracking down the source of the positive fuel trims. My goal on this show is to share vehicle diagnostics that challenge me to come to a precise conclusion, this vehicle being one. I have a gut feeling I know the solution, but not enough data to condemn a part.

206: Scope Rabbit Holes With Andrew Rogue Aug 13, 2023

Show notes

Andrew reached out to me to discuss a misfire diagnostic on 2017 Chevrolet Malibu. He reached a conclusion, but was left with questions on the scope results. We'll discuss the problem and attempt to clear up what was really going on. This is great example of how powerful a lab-scope can be, but also how easy it can lead us down rabbit holes.

Today on the show I want to share my perspective on diet, exercise, and overall health. We need to be healthy in order to perform at a high level within our career, but reaching our goals in today's world with sedentary lifestyles and calorie dense processed food can be frustratingly difficult. I'm going to share some simple effective ways to reach and maintain a healthy body & lifestyle.
Please note that while I have experience in this area, I am not a certified nutritionist or doctor. If you plan to make significant changes to your diet or exercise regime, it's best to consult a professional.
