Does the following scenario fit the approach of the scientific method?

An auto mechanic listens to how a car runs and comes up with an idea of what might be wrong. The mechanic tests the idea by adjusting the idle speed. Then the mechanic decides his idea was wrong based on this evidence. Finally, the mechanic decides the only other problem could be the fuel pump, and he consults with the shop's other mechanics about his conclusion.
