1 00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:09,559 Speaker 1: Hey, welcome back. 2 00:00:09,560 --> 00:00:10,960 Speaker 2: Why don't leading of the card doctor. Let's get over 3 00:00:11,000 --> 00:00:13,640 Speaker 2: and talk to Karen from Hensdale, New Hampshire. Karen, you're 4 00:00:13,640 --> 00:00:15,239 Speaker 2: out with the car doctor? Aady five to five five 5 00:00:15,240 --> 00:00:17,480 Speaker 2: six oh nine nine zero zero. How can I help? 6 00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:19,960 Speaker 3: Hey, Ron, Jesus loves you. This is Karen. 7 00:00:20,120 --> 00:00:20,759 Speaker 2: Hey, how are you? 8 00:00:20,840 --> 00:00:21,160 Speaker 4: Thank you? 9 00:00:21,440 --> 00:00:24,640 Speaker 3: I'm all right. Look, I have this nineteen ninety ninety 10 00:00:24,640 --> 00:00:27,360 Speaker 3: eighty four that I thought was a real bargain when 11 00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:31,880 Speaker 3: I bought it for twelve to fifteen thousand. From the beginning, 12 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:33,520 Speaker 3: I didn't even know what I was doing. I didn't 13 00:00:33,560 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 3: even know my bill of sale till a year later. 14 00:00:35,880 --> 00:00:38,520 Speaker 3: But anyways, the point is I've spent thousands and thousands 15 00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:40,360 Speaker 3: of dollars on this car and it's sitting in my 16 00:00:40,479 --> 00:00:43,559 Speaker 3: driveway right now. And the last check engine light that 17 00:00:43,640 --> 00:00:46,640 Speaker 3: was on was in August or September, and my inspections 18 00:00:46,680 --> 00:00:48,879 Speaker 3: come in October. So I kind of put it off 19 00:00:48,920 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 3: because almost every time I go, invariably I'm going to 20 00:00:52,440 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 3: have to replace control arms. It's just always five six 21 00:00:56,640 --> 00:00:58,560 Speaker 3: seven eight, A lot of money. 22 00:00:58,680 --> 00:01:01,240 Speaker 2: Oh yeah, expensive. You know what AUDI stands for it, 23 00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:01,760 Speaker 2: don't you. 24 00:01:02,360 --> 00:01:05,880 Speaker 3: I'm sure you're going to say something a little bit ridiculous, 25 00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,440 Speaker 3: but I believe you at this point. 26 00:01:07,280 --> 00:01:08,960 Speaker 2: Another underpowered, demonic invention. 27 00:01:09,400 --> 00:01:10,319 Speaker 3: It is on it. 28 00:01:10,440 --> 00:01:12,600 Speaker 2: You know. You know the good thing about Audi it 29 00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 2: makes you appreciate everything else that you drive. 30 00:01:14,920 --> 00:01:17,240 Speaker 3: Well, I'm telling you the thing is, I traded the 31 00:01:17,319 --> 00:01:22,560 Speaker 3: thing in. I had a perfectly nice Dodge XT for 32 00:01:22,720 --> 00:01:25,800 Speaker 3: nine thousand with nine thousand miles. The thing was beautiful, yep, 33 00:01:26,200 --> 00:01:28,000 Speaker 3: you know, but it was the bargain of a lifetime 34 00:01:28,040 --> 00:01:30,800 Speaker 3: and I cast it off and got this Audi just 35 00:01:30,800 --> 00:01:32,200 Speaker 3: because I thought I was going to be cute. 36 00:01:32,280 --> 00:01:34,640 Speaker 2: You know, we all learn right, it isn't cute, and. 37 00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,200 Speaker 3: I can't have another car. 38 00:01:37,800 --> 00:01:37,959 Speaker 1: Now. 39 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 3: I wonder the strategy is that it's sitting in the car. 40 00:01:43,240 --> 00:01:45,880 Speaker 3: It's sitting in the driveway. The battery of the car 41 00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:50,600 Speaker 3: is out of the car and charged because the secondary 42 00:01:50,640 --> 00:01:54,400 Speaker 3: air injunction pump was draining it. And I didn't know 43 00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,200 Speaker 3: that at the time. I just knew that something in 44 00:01:56,240 --> 00:01:58,760 Speaker 3: the loud winding sound would come on it after I 45 00:01:58,760 --> 00:02:03,360 Speaker 3: stopped my car. Yeah, so I think after that happened, 46 00:02:03,760 --> 00:02:05,880 Speaker 3: I had to charge the battery and I bought cables. 47 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 3: In other words, I did what I could afford to 48 00:02:07,560 --> 00:02:11,080 Speaker 3: do to remedy the problem, but it wasn't remedied because 49 00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,160 Speaker 3: once I bought the cables, then it would start ron 50 00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 3: but it would stop immediately, over and over. 51 00:02:17,639 --> 00:02:17,880 Speaker 4: Okay. 52 00:02:17,960 --> 00:02:20,359 Speaker 2: So your question to me is why is the airpump 53 00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 2: killing the battery? 54 00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,680 Speaker 3: Well, no, I'm I'm pretty sure I know why the 55 00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:27,040 Speaker 3: relay is maybe was broken or something. But what I'm 56 00:02:27,040 --> 00:02:29,919 Speaker 3: trying to get at is if the car would start, 57 00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:33,559 Speaker 3: why would it shut off immediately? It would totally start. 58 00:02:33,400 --> 00:02:34,640 Speaker 2: Because was the battery dead? 59 00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:38,040 Speaker 3: No, not anymore? Okay, the battery it was at twelve 60 00:02:38,080 --> 00:02:41,760 Speaker 3: vamps at least I started, it just would stop. 61 00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:44,440 Speaker 2: The car will stop some of the words you get. 62 00:02:44,480 --> 00:02:47,880 Speaker 2: The car started exactly, and when you when you released 63 00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:49,840 Speaker 2: the key and let it idle, it won't idle. It 64 00:02:49,919 --> 00:02:54,480 Speaker 2: stalls exactly, okay, because it hasn't learned its idle stop 65 00:02:54,560 --> 00:02:57,920 Speaker 2: yet because either the battery was disconnected, or the battery 66 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,399 Speaker 2: is dead, or the throttle body is very dirt, there's 67 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 2: something else going on with the vehicle. 68 00:03:02,160 --> 00:03:04,840 Speaker 3: Well, that sounds good, that throttle boy theory. Right, This 69 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,600 Speaker 3: sounds good because I've often thought to get that addressed, 70 00:03:07,639 --> 00:03:08,280 Speaker 3: but I never did. 71 00:03:08,400 --> 00:03:11,680 Speaker 2: Right now, to do to do a throttle cleaning and 72 00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,320 Speaker 2: an idle relearn on an Audi like a Volkswagen requires 73 00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:19,240 Speaker 2: factory or dealer level scan tool and some button pushing 74 00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,600 Speaker 2: to make it relearn its strategy and relearn position. So 75 00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:26,160 Speaker 2: it's not something the average individual can do on their own. 76 00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:27,959 Speaker 3: Yeah, but how about this that I would to the 77 00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:29,960 Speaker 3: OUTI form and they say, if you just turn your 78 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:32,600 Speaker 3: key with the engine off, if you just turn it 79 00:03:32,639 --> 00:03:34,600 Speaker 3: on for a minute, it will relearn itself. 80 00:03:34,840 --> 00:03:35,720 Speaker 2: Well did you try that? 81 00:03:36,320 --> 00:03:38,200 Speaker 3: No, because now the battery is dead. 82 00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:41,480 Speaker 2: Well right, And my point is if the battery keeps 83 00:03:41,520 --> 00:03:45,560 Speaker 2: going dead, then it's never going to retain the memory 84 00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 2: of whatever it is. You try to learn it in 85 00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 2: the processor, and you're going to repeat the cycle over 86 00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:51,960 Speaker 2: and over again. So let's go back to is the 87 00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:53,640 Speaker 2: secondary air pump still running? 88 00:03:54,720 --> 00:03:55,000 Speaker 3: Right? 89 00:03:55,120 --> 00:03:58,400 Speaker 2: Okay, If the secondary air pump is still running, it 90 00:03:58,520 --> 00:04:03,120 Speaker 2: probably has a bit add relay in the electrical convenience 91 00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:05,920 Speaker 2: center to the driver's side planum. And what you've got 92 00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:07,960 Speaker 2: to do is when the blower motor, when the secondary 93 00:04:07,960 --> 00:04:10,840 Speaker 2: air pump relay. When the secondary air pump is still running, 94 00:04:11,320 --> 00:04:14,440 Speaker 2: pull the relay out of the E box and see 95 00:04:14,440 --> 00:04:17,480 Speaker 2: if the pump stops. If the pump stops, then you've 96 00:04:17,520 --> 00:04:20,400 Speaker 2: got to diagnose, Okay, is the is the relay bad? 97 00:04:20,880 --> 00:04:22,799 Speaker 2: Or is the blue gray wire which is the ground 98 00:04:22,880 --> 00:04:28,840 Speaker 2: control leg from the PCM grounded? Or is the driver 99 00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,279 Speaker 2: in the PCM bad? And that's a process of elimination. 100 00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:33,960 Speaker 2: Thing that's checked the relay, check the wiring. If that 101 00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,680 Speaker 2: all checks out, it's got a bad driver in the PCM, 102 00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:40,200 Speaker 2: which is not uncommon. But until you fix that secondary 103 00:04:40,240 --> 00:04:43,240 Speaker 2: air pump fault, it doesn't matter about the idle learn. 104 00:04:43,279 --> 00:04:47,599 Speaker 2: It doesn't matter about anything else simply because it's never 105 00:04:47,640 --> 00:04:50,440 Speaker 2: going to hold in memory with a dead battery. And 106 00:04:50,480 --> 00:04:52,520 Speaker 2: that's the problem. 107 00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:56,520 Speaker 3: Very good, So I took the relay out, okay, right now? 108 00:04:56,560 --> 00:04:58,840 Speaker 3: I found the relay switch all right, and I took 109 00:04:58,880 --> 00:04:59,159 Speaker 3: it out. 110 00:04:59,240 --> 00:05:00,880 Speaker 2: Okay, does the bad still go dead? 111 00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:01,599 Speaker 3: Right? 112 00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:04,640 Speaker 2: The problem is does the battery still go dead? 113 00:05:05,960 --> 00:05:08,680 Speaker 3: It doesn't matter now the battery is not back in 114 00:05:08,760 --> 00:05:12,200 Speaker 3: my car, because I feel like when the battery was 115 00:05:12,240 --> 00:05:16,039 Speaker 3: fully charged it didn't start. So now I have to 116 00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:20,360 Speaker 3: recharge the battery. Right, I'm sure it's not charged. Put 117 00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:23,080 Speaker 3: it in the car, turn on the ignition for a 118 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:26,760 Speaker 3: minute without turning the engine on. To clear it correct 119 00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:28,440 Speaker 3: right that it clears it. 120 00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:30,159 Speaker 2: Of course, that's if you have cleaned the throttle plate 121 00:05:30,240 --> 00:05:30,440 Speaker 2: or not. 122 00:05:30,960 --> 00:05:33,680 Speaker 3: Now about the throttle thing, I can't do that myself 123 00:05:33,960 --> 00:05:35,920 Speaker 3: theoretically because I can't, right. 124 00:05:35,800 --> 00:05:37,200 Speaker 2: I don't think you can do the rest of it either, 125 00:05:37,200 --> 00:05:38,320 Speaker 2: But I'm willing to let you try. 126 00:05:38,560 --> 00:05:41,479 Speaker 3: I'm going to end it with this ron Ron an Indian. 127 00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,520 Speaker 3: One time I was in West Hollywood and I decided 128 00:05:44,560 --> 00:05:47,719 Speaker 3: I'd change my valve cover myself on a Chevy Cavalier 129 00:05:48,560 --> 00:05:50,680 Speaker 3: that was cute. And I did it, and I put 130 00:05:50,680 --> 00:05:53,360 Speaker 3: the little silicon stuff on and I shut it all up, 131 00:05:53,560 --> 00:05:55,599 Speaker 3: and I got in my car and started it and 132 00:05:55,640 --> 00:05:58,160 Speaker 3: blew out the exhaust. But because I put the wires. 133 00:05:58,120 --> 00:05:59,640 Speaker 2: Well, and you know the reason I say, I don't 134 00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,280 Speaker 2: think you can do it on the AUDI. Not that 135 00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:05,360 Speaker 2: disempower you, but is I'm gonna say, I'm gonna leave 136 00:06:05,360 --> 00:06:07,839 Speaker 2: it here. I'll use your terms. I'm gonna leave it 137 00:06:07,880 --> 00:06:10,279 Speaker 2: here in that to work on that OUTI and do 138 00:06:10,360 --> 00:06:13,159 Speaker 2: it properly. There's a lot of button pushing required with 139 00:06:13,240 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 2: a dealer level tool because there's a lot of electronics 140 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,960 Speaker 2: and a lot of learning. And let's just say that 141 00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:24,400 Speaker 2: until you solve the problem of taking and getting the 142 00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 2: battery to stay in the car at a charge level, 143 00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 2: and get the secondary ear pump to stop running, and 144 00:06:29,080 --> 00:06:32,720 Speaker 2: then figuring out if the PCM has bed. Listen, nobody 145 00:06:32,720 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 2: ever said out he's We're inexpensive to repair and maintain 146 00:06:35,800 --> 00:06:37,960 Speaker 2: nice cars. You just got to kind of be ready 147 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,039 Speaker 2: for it, and your checkbook has to be ready to 148 00:06:40,080 --> 00:06:42,920 Speaker 2: absorb the hit, because it always seems to be a hit. 149 00:06:43,320 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 2: Give that a shot, Karen. Let us know how you 150 00:06:45,080 --> 00:06:47,159 Speaker 2: work out, And I'd be curious to know if the 151 00:06:47,160 --> 00:06:49,560 Speaker 2: one minute idle relearn actually does work. You never know. 152 00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:52,560 Speaker 2: Stranger things have happened, but I wouldn't hold out a 153 00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,840 Speaker 2: lot of hope. Eight five five five six nine nine 154 00:06:54,920 --> 00:06:56,600 Speaker 2: zero zero. I'm run any in the car, doctor, and 155 00:06:56,640 --> 00:06:58,160 Speaker 2: I'm cruising back right after this. 156 00:06:58,240 --> 00:07:36,600 Speaker 4: Don't go away, Hey. 157 00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,640 Speaker 2: Welcome back on ennying in the car doctor. Now wait 158 00:07:38,680 --> 00:07:40,840 Speaker 2: a minute, I gotta continue this conversation. We were talking 159 00:07:40,920 --> 00:07:42,960 Speaker 2: during the break there, Tom, I don't want to sit 160 00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,320 Speaker 2: next to Harry on the plane next to Vegas, So 161 00:07:45,480 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 2: how come I have to babysit him? Somebody has to 162 00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:49,600 Speaker 2: sit next to Harry, And you drew the short straw. 163 00:07:49,600 --> 00:07:51,800 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, Ron, boy. You know, was that the meeting 164 00:07:51,840 --> 00:07:53,680 Speaker 2: where I excuse myself to go to the men's room 165 00:07:53,720 --> 00:07:55,520 Speaker 2: when you guys were voting. Well, that and the fact 166 00:07:55,520 --> 00:07:57,240 Speaker 2: that you won't let us drive that big plow truck 167 00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:59,080 Speaker 2: of yours. Oh, we're gonna start the plow truck thing again. 168 00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:01,760 Speaker 2: We're gonna get even. Boy, let me tell you that's 169 00:08:01,800 --> 00:08:05,680 Speaker 2: not even that's that's excessive. So holy cow, I gotta 170 00:08:05,720 --> 00:08:07,880 Speaker 2: take care of fast Harry on the ride out to Vegas. 171 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:10,600 Speaker 2: How much could this cost me? So let's open up 172 00:08:10,640 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 2: the phones once again, running Adi in the car doctor here, 173 00:08:13,800 --> 00:08:17,000 Speaker 2: and let's go talk to George and Orrington.

Let's go over 176 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,720 Speaker 2: and talk to George from Orrington, Maine. George, welcome to 177 00:08:23,720 --> 00:08:25,160 Speaker 2: the car, doctor, sir, How can I help it? I'm 178 00:08:25,200 --> 00:08:25,800 Speaker 2: sorry for that. 179 00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:28,640 Speaker 1: Oh, that's that's okay. 180 00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:29,240 Speaker 4: Ron, Listen. 181 00:08:29,320 --> 00:08:32,000 Speaker 1: I would talking to a couple about a code that 182 00:08:32,040 --> 00:08:35,120 Speaker 1: I had on my two thousand and one path finder. Okay, anyway, 183 00:08:35,120 --> 00:08:37,080 Speaker 1: you told me about a scan tool I needed to 184 00:08:37,080 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: get to put that would do a mode six. I 185 00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: looked at a couple of them, and one of them 186 00:08:40,600 --> 00:08:43,680 Speaker 1: was an act Tell seven seven oh four, and I 187 00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:46,560 Speaker 1: didn't know if that was something that would would you 188 00:08:46,559 --> 00:08:48,960 Speaker 1: have on that or what? 189 00:08:49,160 --> 00:08:52,080 Speaker 2: Yeah, the hotel, the hotel you ought to like, what 190 00:08:52,160 --> 00:08:55,439 Speaker 2: the Maxi diag tools that family? Right? Yeah, what do 191 00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:57,120 Speaker 2: they what do they get for that? George? Did do 192 00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,120 Speaker 2: they have a dollar limit there? Yeah? 193 00:08:59,120 --> 00:09:01,040 Speaker 1: It was it was the one I was looking. I 194 00:09:01,080 --> 00:09:01,720 Speaker 1: was two hundred. 195 00:09:01,800 --> 00:09:07,080 Speaker 2: Okay, it's not a bad tool. I think Autel, you know, 196 00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:09,120 Speaker 2: I have to go back and look. But I thought 197 00:09:09,160 --> 00:09:10,840 Speaker 2: this week on one of the forums, and I'm not 198 00:09:11,080 --> 00:09:14,839 Speaker 2: displacing Autel as a bad company, but I thought there 199 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:19,640 Speaker 2: was conversation that for their bigger tools, they were having issues. 200 00:09:19,679 --> 00:09:22,480 Speaker 2: They were some kind of legality issues with software, and 201 00:09:22,480 --> 00:09:24,079 Speaker 2: I'm not sure if it was them or someone else. 202 00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:26,040 Speaker 2: I would just double check on that because that could 203 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:29,839 Speaker 2: be a problem for software updates, where I would tell 204 00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,800 Speaker 2: you to look. It's a little bit more expensive, but 205 00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 2: it's something I've used on a personal basis. Is the 206 00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:40,479 Speaker 2: CRP one twenty nine from launch Tech or the CRP 207 00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:44,920 Speaker 2: one twenty three. I believe both of those have enhanced 208 00:09:44,920 --> 00:09:48,200 Speaker 2: Mode six capability, and they do quite a bit more 209 00:09:48,240 --> 00:09:50,200 Speaker 2: in terms of they will do. I know the one 210 00:09:50,280 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 2: twenty nine does engine transmission, ABS, airbag and steering angle sensor, 211 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,920 Speaker 2: which is kind of nice. You know, buying a scan 212 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,800 Speaker 2: tool is sort of like buying a house. You want 213 00:10:02,840 --> 00:10:05,560 Speaker 2: to buy something that will work for now and the 214 00:10:05,600 --> 00:10:08,040 Speaker 2: foreseeable future. You don't want to buy something and then 215 00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:09,959 Speaker 2: two years from now you've outgrown it. You've got to 216 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,959 Speaker 2: go out and buy another scan tool all over again. 217 00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:15,560 Speaker 2: And it's it's it's hard with a scan tool because 218 00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:20,240 Speaker 2: the technology just keeps on changing. So for the guy 219 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 2: who's working at home and as a do it yourself 220 00:10:22,840 --> 00:10:25,360 Speaker 2: for in the garage, here's what I do. I'd bring 221 00:10:25,400 --> 00:10:28,600 Speaker 2: the autel unit up and I'd go out to launch 222 00:10:28,640 --> 00:10:31,320 Speaker 2: TECHUSA dot com and I'd bring the launch Tech unit 223 00:10:31,400 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 2: up and I would go through the list, see who's 224 00:10:34,280 --> 00:10:37,000 Speaker 2: got what, make sure they both at least have something 225 00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:39,240 Speaker 2: that resembles what you're looking for. And I believe them 226 00:10:39,280 --> 00:10:43,079 Speaker 2: both they both do. And i'd call there eight hundred numbers. 227 00:10:43,080 --> 00:10:47,120 Speaker 2: I'd call customer service. You know, it's always nice to 228 00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 2: see and hear how you're going to be treated as 229 00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:52,400 Speaker 2: a customer because if they don't treat if they if 230 00:10:52,440 --> 00:10:55,040 Speaker 2: they don't treat you nice before the sale, they're not 231 00:10:55,040 --> 00:10:57,520 Speaker 2: going to treat you nice after the sale either. So 232 00:10:59,559 --> 00:11:01,679 Speaker 2: customer service has a lot, so you know, ask them 233 00:11:01,679 --> 00:11:03,760 Speaker 2: the questions, Hey, do you do this? Do you do that? 234 00:11:04,120 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 2: You know? Can it do enhanced OBD? You know, enhanced 235 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:11,200 Speaker 2: mode six? You know? And what are the limits? And 236 00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:14,080 Speaker 2: see what they say. But you know, from a personal 237 00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:17,280 Speaker 2: experience level, I can tell you the CRP one twenty 238 00:11:17,360 --> 00:11:20,320 Speaker 2: nine from launch Tech USA is a good tool. We 239 00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:23,680 Speaker 2: use it in the shop. It's it's slowly evolving into 240 00:11:24,840 --> 00:11:26,240 Speaker 2: one of the tools I go to the most and 241 00:11:26,240 --> 00:11:28,079 Speaker 2: I've got nineteen and I think I've said that here 242 00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:30,600 Speaker 2: on the air, and I'll say it like this. The 243 00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 2: only time I don't grab the one twenty nine, it 244 00:11:32,720 --> 00:11:35,679 Speaker 2: seems of late, is when I'm pulling the X four 245 00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,040 Speaker 2: to thirty one tablet down. And that's become a very 246 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:41,400 Speaker 2: handy tool in and around the shop. I think I 247 00:11:41,440 --> 00:11:43,400 Speaker 2: talked about it a few weeks ago where that was 248 00:11:43,440 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 2: the only tool out of the nineteen that we have 249 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:49,400 Speaker 2: in the shop besides the dealer level tool from Honda 250 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:53,360 Speaker 2: that had the throttle reset for the TPS with the 251 00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:56,120 Speaker 2: with the accurate that gave us the stalling issue in 252 00:11:56,160 --> 00:11:59,160 Speaker 2: the check engine light. So you know, just you got 253 00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 2: to call the shots like see them. I think launch 254 00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:02,720 Speaker 2: Tech has it going on. They do a lot of 255 00:12:02,720 --> 00:12:04,560 Speaker 2: good engineering, and I think it's got to be considered 256 00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:07,560 Speaker 2: when it comes time for any scan tool purchase. All 257 00:12:09,640 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 2: you're very welcome. Good luck to you, and let us 258 00:12:11,160 --> 00:12:13,160 Speaker 2: know how you make out. And like I said, we're 259 00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:14,200 Speaker 2: here if you need us. 260 00:12:14,840 --> 00:12:15,400 Speaker 1: I appreciate it. 261 00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,200 Speaker 2: Thank you, You're welcome, George, you take good care. Yeah, 262 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:23,319 Speaker 2: it's important to note that, you know, don't make the mistake. Gee, 263 00:12:23,520 --> 00:12:25,800 Speaker 2: how much can I save on buying a scan tool? 264 00:12:25,920 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 3: Uh? Huh? 265 00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,040 Speaker 2: How much can I spend? How many years can I 266 00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:32,000 Speaker 2: get out of this before I reasonably have to either 267 00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:35,120 Speaker 2: update it or throw it away? And that's really becoming 268 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:37,600 Speaker 2: a huge factor and a huge part of the process. 269 00:12:38,160 --> 00:12:38,280 Speaker 3: Uh. 270 00:12:38,679 --> 00:12:42,800 Speaker 2: I can honestly say that in the shop at a 271 00:12:42,800 --> 00:12:45,679 Speaker 2: professional level, if you were to visit the shop, you 272 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:47,880 Speaker 2: would see most of the scan tools are out on 273 00:12:47,960 --> 00:12:50,199 Speaker 2: peg board. And that's because I want to sit there 274 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,560 Speaker 2: and go, let me think what am I working on. 275 00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:55,679 Speaker 2: I'm working on a Hyundai. I need to do airbag. 276 00:12:55,760 --> 00:12:58,160 Speaker 2: Which one of these does that the best? Okay, it's 277 00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:00,800 Speaker 2: that one, and go get it down and look at it. 278 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:03,079 Speaker 2: And I can see now it's been about four maybe 279 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:05,280 Speaker 2: five years since I've gone through the scan tools on 280 00:13:05,320 --> 00:13:08,400 Speaker 2: the peg boards. You know what. Unfortunately some of them 281 00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:12,160 Speaker 2: have gotten out. I've outgrown them and those cars aren't 282 00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 2: around anymore. So it's time to take some down and 283 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,240 Speaker 2: put some new ones up. And you know, it's always 284 00:13:17,280 --> 00:13:21,000 Speaker 2: an updating process at a professional level. For the do 285 00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:23,680 Speaker 2: it yourself for you want to get something, you got 286 00:13:23,679 --> 00:13:26,160 Speaker 2: to look at your family fleet and think, well, how 287 00:13:26,200 --> 00:13:28,120 Speaker 2: long am I going to have these cars? Is the 288 00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:29,600 Speaker 2: fleet going to change and evolve? 289 00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:30,720 Speaker 4: Well? 290 00:13:30,720 --> 00:13:33,240 Speaker 2: Maybe not? And all right, let me get one of 291 00:13:33,280 --> 00:13:36,320 Speaker 2: these and try to get a scan tool that will 292 00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:38,880 Speaker 2: give you two to three to four years. Four years 293 00:13:38,920 --> 00:13:41,760 Speaker 2: is probably a comfortable range before you want to go 294 00:13:41,800 --> 00:13:44,160 Speaker 2: out and either replace the car or replace the scan tool. 295 00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,320 Speaker 2: And I will say this before we pull over and 296 00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:49,240 Speaker 2: take the pause. If you don't have a scan tool 297 00:13:49,480 --> 00:13:51,720 Speaker 2: and you're trying to work on a car, you're doing 298 00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,679 Speaker 2: yourself a disservice. We had a woman stop in the 299 00:13:54,720 --> 00:13:59,000 Speaker 2: shop yesterday with some questions. She owned a twenty twelve 300 00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:04,640 Speaker 2: Nissan Infinity and could we work on the vehicle control system? 301 00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:06,920 Speaker 2: It just had thirty two thousand miles on it. It 302 00:14:06,960 --> 00:14:08,840 Speaker 2: may or may not have been under warranty. There were 303 00:14:08,880 --> 00:14:11,679 Speaker 2: some questions and issues, and the honest answer was, yeah, 304 00:14:11,720 --> 00:14:14,640 Speaker 2: I can work on it. My dealer tool is not 305 00:14:14,760 --> 00:14:18,199 Speaker 2: updated to that yet, and you may be better off 306 00:14:18,200 --> 00:14:20,040 Speaker 2: taking it to the dealer because they're the only ones 307 00:14:20,040 --> 00:14:22,240 Speaker 2: that I know of that have software for that vehicle 308 00:14:22,280 --> 00:14:25,520 Speaker 2: at this particular point. And you know, it's no lie. 309 00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:27,080 Speaker 2: If you don't have a scan tool that can talk 310 00:14:27,120 --> 00:14:30,160 Speaker 2: to the car, you can't work on the car with 311 00:14:30,360 --> 00:14:33,680 Speaker 2: good intention, and you can't finish the majority of the 312 00:14:33,720 --> 00:14:37,240 Speaker 2: repairs that you start out. And that's a problem unto itself. 313 00:14:37,400 --> 00:14:39,800 Speaker 2: Eight five five five six nine nine zero zero. Run 314 00:14:39,800 --> 00:14:41,560 Speaker 2: on any in the car, doctor, I'll be back right 315 00:14:41,600 --> 00:15:11,360 Speaker 2: after this. Who's gone, and welcome back? While I'm leading 316 00:15:11,360 --> 00:15:13,800 Speaker 2: the car doctor driving along this hour? Speaking of driving, 317 00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:15,720 Speaker 2: quick piece of email. Hey Ron, I've got a No. 318 00:15:15,880 --> 00:15:18,240 Speaker 2: Six f three point fifty with five point four liter. 319 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 2: The insight of the oil filler cap always has some 320 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:23,640 Speaker 2: white scum, just a little. I make mostly short trips 321 00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:25,680 Speaker 2: when I was going twenty five miles each way to 322 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:28,560 Speaker 2: a job for a few months. I noticed it then. Also, 323 00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,760 Speaker 2: I don't see any signs of cooling in the oil 324 00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:33,040 Speaker 2: or oil in the coolant. I wonder which way that goes. 325 00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:35,680 Speaker 2: I had no codes when I checked it. It runs good. 326 00:15:35,680 --> 00:15:37,600 Speaker 2: It's not a powerhouse. It has a three seventy three 327 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:40,560 Speaker 2: re rear with eighteen inch rubber. I noticed it first 328 00:15:40,600 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 2: shortly after buying it four years ago with sixty thousand 329 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 2: miles on it now has ninety one Any thoughts thanks? 330 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 2: Tom's is from Tom Maloney. Yeah, you know what, Tom, 331 00:15:48,680 --> 00:15:50,760 Speaker 2: Maybe it's got a little bit of a sludge issue 332 00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:53,440 Speaker 2: from the previous owner and it's hard to get rid 333 00:15:53,480 --> 00:15:56,160 Speaker 2: of that. You know, sludge is you know, after you 334 00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:58,000 Speaker 2: turn fifty and you get a little older, it's hard 335 00:15:58,080 --> 00:16:00,640 Speaker 2: to lose some of that weight, so to speak. It's 336 00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:02,080 Speaker 2: just one of those things that kind of creeps up 337 00:16:02,120 --> 00:16:04,320 Speaker 2: on you, like cheap underwear in life. It just happens 338 00:16:04,600 --> 00:16:06,640 Speaker 2: and you can't you can't get rid of it. So 339 00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:09,560 Speaker 2: what I would tell you to do is you may 340 00:16:09,560 --> 00:16:13,160 Speaker 2: want to consider doing some form of an engine flush 341 00:16:13,480 --> 00:16:16,320 Speaker 2: and best products on the market get out to CRC 342 00:16:16,480 --> 00:16:19,560 Speaker 2: Industries dot Com. Take a look at either their Valve 343 00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:23,200 Speaker 2: Clean Engine valve and lifter cleaner or their Fast Motor Flush. 344 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,440 Speaker 2: I'm thinking it's going to be Fast Motor Flush will 345 00:16:25,480 --> 00:16:28,520 Speaker 2: fit the bill, fill the need on a better basis. 346 00:16:28,520 --> 00:16:30,400 Speaker 2: It'll be more direct for what you want to do. 347 00:16:31,120 --> 00:16:33,680 Speaker 2: If you do get out to CRC Industries dot com, 348 00:16:33,960 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 2: you will see there's always a contact phone number. Give 349 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,720 Speaker 2: their techline a call, tell them what it is you're 350 00:16:38,720 --> 00:16:40,880 Speaker 2: trying to get rid of, and they will give you 351 00:16:41,200 --> 00:16:43,680 Speaker 2: the best application between those two. My gut tells me 352 00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,120 Speaker 2: it's Fast Motorflush. But the idea here is that using 353 00:16:47,160 --> 00:16:50,040 Speaker 2: a cleaner and these are safe cleaners, so before we 354 00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:52,960 Speaker 2: try doing any home remedies, these are safe cleaners with 355 00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:56,160 Speaker 2: regards to the rubber gaskets and anything else that's inside 356 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:58,240 Speaker 2: the engine. We don't want to hurt anything, and this 357 00:16:58,320 --> 00:17:03,400 Speaker 2: will remove all the contaminant and allow you to start fresh. 358 00:17:03,520 --> 00:17:05,920 Speaker 2: Probably the best example I can give you of why 359 00:17:05,960 --> 00:17:09,240 Speaker 2: this happens is if you've ever flushed a cooling system 360 00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 2: and the fluid the coolant is really dirty, and you 361 00:17:12,280 --> 00:17:15,120 Speaker 2: put fresh coolant in it, and three months later it's 362 00:17:15,119 --> 00:17:18,280 Speaker 2: dirty again, and you can't figure out why. Chances are 363 00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 2: the coolant bottle is so contaminated it just contributes to 364 00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:24,960 Speaker 2: and contaminates the coolant all over again. So you want 365 00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,800 Speaker 2: to eliminate the problem. Either eliminate the bottle if it 366 00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:30,119 Speaker 2: was a coolant issue, or eliminate the sludge in the 367 00:17:30,119 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 2: oil in your case, in the crank case, and start 368 00:17:33,560 --> 00:17:35,840 Speaker 2: fresh from scratch. I'm running any in the car, doctor, 369 00:17:35,880 --> 00:17:38,320 Speaker 2: reminding you till the next time. The mechanics aren't expensive, 370 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 2: they're placeless.
