1
00:00:00,040 --> 00:00:04,760
Speaker 1: Propation for likes it's too slow, like too slow. Yes,

2
00:00:04,880 --> 00:00:07,840
Speaker 1: we're gonna have to go right to Lula Chris speed.

3
00:00:08,119 --> 00:00:10,799
Speaker 1: Ron Ananian. So here's the deal wall. You got your

4
00:00:10,800 --> 00:00:13,960
Speaker 1: wiring diagram in front of my chance. Yes, okay, look

5
00:00:13,960 --> 00:00:16,560
Speaker 1: at the winning diagram. If I recall correctly about the

6
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:19,120
Speaker 1: middle of the page, they talk about the central control

7
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:24,640
Speaker 1: module and awesome, I'll think ever last thing, No at all,

8
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:27,920
Speaker 1: the Car Doctor. It's got to work from the left input.

9
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,680
Speaker 1: If it doesn't work from the left input and you've

10
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,480
Speaker 1: proved everything else to work, then you've got a bad

11
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:38,400
Speaker 1: control module. Ludicrous speed before I don't know if the contect.

Speaker 1: know Hawaiians on and Um, I just want to tell

56
00:02:46,480 --> 00:02:50,440
Speaker 1: you a story from the shop. I think auto repair

57
00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,160
Speaker 1: is about boundaries, all right, but you know life is

58
00:02:53,160 --> 00:02:55,880
Speaker 1: about boundaries. You know, we're we're we're looking to establish

59
00:02:56,000 --> 00:02:58,239
Speaker 1: clear cut boundaries and it helps us live better, It

60
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:04,200
Speaker 1: helps us survive in and get through our day to day. Tuesday,

61
00:03:04,840 --> 00:03:07,799
Speaker 1: Gary pulled in. I've never met Garry before. Nice enough guy,

62
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: straight shooter, it seemed like, but just you know, kind

63
00:03:11,440 --> 00:03:13,720
Speaker 1: of marked to his own drummer and he had a

64
00:03:13,760 --> 00:03:16,480
Speaker 1: two thousand and eight Explorer that I heard him pulling

65
00:03:16,520 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 1: into the parking lot and it's it sounded like, for

66
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:22,400
Speaker 1: lack of a better way to put it, like, I

67
00:03:22,560 --> 00:03:25,160
Speaker 1: just hear the theme to Sandford and Son playing in

68
00:03:25,280 --> 00:03:27,799
Speaker 1: my head. You know that that that that that that

69
00:03:28,120 --> 00:03:32,560
Speaker 1: because it had a creak in it, like a it

70
00:03:32,680 --> 00:03:36,480
Speaker 1: sounded like two pieces of metal tearing. And he's driving

71
00:03:36,560 --> 00:03:38,440
Speaker 1: this vehicle. So I watched him. He kind of went

72
00:03:38,480 --> 00:03:42,320
Speaker 1: down to the end and he came around and you know,

73
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: he pulled up in front of the doors and he

74
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:46,080
Speaker 1: got out and he introduced himself and you know, nice

75
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:48,320
Speaker 1: enough guy, and we had the whole conversation and he said,

76
00:03:48,320 --> 00:03:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, I've got this noise. I said, well, how

77
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:52,360
Speaker 1: long have you had it? And he said, well, you know,

78
00:03:52,520 --> 00:03:54,920
Speaker 1: a couple of three or four months, and my mechanics

79
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:57,240
Speaker 1: worked on it and you know, and I said, well,

80
00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,400
Speaker 1: you know what's he done? And he said, well, well,

81
00:03:59,440 --> 00:04:01,840
Speaker 1: I I asked him to do this, and I asked

82
00:04:01,920 --> 00:04:03,920
Speaker 1: him to do that, but you know, he hasn't been

83
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,920
Speaker 1: able to figure it out, which is why I tell

84
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,839
Speaker 1: him what to do. And I figured, you know, since

85
00:04:09,880 --> 00:04:13,480
Speaker 1: I worked on cars back in the seventies, hang on

86
00:04:13,560 --> 00:04:17,000
Speaker 1: a second, so you don't work on cars anymore and

87
00:04:17,120 --> 00:04:21,000
Speaker 1: you think what you're doing from the seventies qualifies you. Well, yeah,

88
00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: it's just a noise. How hard could it be? I said, well,

89
00:04:24,200 --> 00:04:26,760
Speaker 1: evidently it's got to be pretty hard. Your mechanic can't

90
00:04:26,800 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: figure it out. And he said, well, you know, myke

91
00:04:28,440 --> 00:04:35,560
Speaker 1: mechanics Korean wait for it. And I'm saying, okay, so

92
00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:38,040
Speaker 1: your mechanics Korean? What what? What's that got to do

93
00:04:38,160 --> 00:04:40,000
Speaker 1: with the price of tea in China? I don't know

94
00:04:40,000 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 1: if I can say that, but you know, he said,

95
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,200
Speaker 1: he said, well, he said, you know, he doesn't really

96
00:04:45,240 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: speak great English, and it's kind of hard to communicate

97
00:04:47,480 --> 00:04:51,440
Speaker 1: with him. So I'm kind of now I've really he's

98
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 1: really got my attention now, and I'm thinking, all right, so,

99
00:04:54,520 --> 00:04:58,480
Speaker 1: you know, he's telling me how his mechanic doesn't really

100
00:04:58,520 --> 00:05:01,480
Speaker 1: speak English and he's trying to and I'm like, yeah, okay,

101
00:05:02,360 --> 00:05:05,000
Speaker 1: and he said, I said, well, then I don't get it.

102
00:05:05,080 --> 00:05:06,160
Speaker 1: He goes, well, he said, you know, I go in

103
00:05:06,240 --> 00:05:07,520
Speaker 1: and I asked him to change this tire, and he

104
00:05:07,600 --> 00:05:09,120
Speaker 1: changes the other tire and I asked him to put

105
00:05:09,160 --> 00:05:11,200
Speaker 1: brakes on it, and instead he puts a water pump

106
00:05:11,279 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: on it because he thinks that's worse and is he's

107
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:15,680
Speaker 1: trying to spend my money for me. And I said,

108
00:05:15,680 --> 00:05:21,040
Speaker 1: how long have you been going to this guy? Twelve years? Real?

109
00:05:21,240 --> 00:05:23,840
Speaker 1: And you know I'm not making this up, all right,

110
00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,960
Speaker 1: I mean this is like really what goes on? And

111
00:05:27,080 --> 00:05:30,040
Speaker 1: I said to him, I said, you know, how can

112
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:32,480
Speaker 1: that be? I said, you know, did you ever have kids?

113
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:34,839
Speaker 1: You ever tell your kids to clean their room? Yeah?

114
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,720
Speaker 1: And I said what happened when they didn't? He goes, well,

115
00:05:36,839 --> 00:05:38,400
Speaker 1: then I went up when I cleaned it for him,

116
00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:40,600
Speaker 1: and I said, well that's the problem. You don't have

117
00:05:40,640 --> 00:05:44,680
Speaker 1: any boundaries here, buddy, you know it's and then he

118
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,520
Speaker 1: just he says, but I'm waiting. I know he's gonna

119
00:05:46,520 --> 00:05:48,159
Speaker 1: get it right. One of these days. I said, yeah,

120
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,320
Speaker 1: I'll be dead and you'll be retired. I mean, like,

121
00:05:50,480 --> 00:05:53,360
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's just what's the point, you know,

122
00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 1: it's it's causing effect. Auto repair is a cause and

123
00:05:57,800 --> 00:06:01,200
Speaker 1: effect business, all right. The mechanist got to fix it,

124
00:06:01,320 --> 00:06:03,240
Speaker 1: he fixes it, he gets paid. He doesn't fix it,

125
00:06:03,320 --> 00:06:06,360
Speaker 1: he doesn't get paid. You prevent him from fixing it.

126
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:10,719
Speaker 1: He gets paid. But and think about what I said there.

127
00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:13,200
Speaker 1: You know, if he's trying. If he's doing what he's

128
00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:15,200
Speaker 1: supposed to do, if he's doing his due diligence, and

129
00:06:15,279 --> 00:06:19,040
Speaker 1: he's applying procedure, he's entitled. But here's a case where

130
00:06:19,080 --> 00:06:21,560
Speaker 1: the mechanics doing whatever he wants. The vehicle sounds worse

131
00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:24,159
Speaker 1: by the minute, to the point that I'd be afraid

132
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:25,840
Speaker 1: to drive in this car. I'd be afraid to be

133
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:31,880
Speaker 1: driving next to this car. And it really came back

134
00:06:32,000 --> 00:06:34,920
Speaker 1: to and I couldn't help but think, I wonder how

135
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:37,200
Speaker 1: many people are like this, and I want to talk

136
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,520
Speaker 1: about this on air to bring it to the public's attention.

137
00:06:40,400 --> 00:06:42,000
Speaker 1: He then asked me, he said, so, if I bring

138
00:06:42,040 --> 00:06:45,240
Speaker 1: it to you, what do you charge per hour? I said,

139
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:46,880
Speaker 1: it doesn't matter. I said, I might fix it in

140
00:06:46,960 --> 00:06:49,719
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes. It might take me two days. I've got

141
00:06:49,839 --> 00:06:52,800
Speaker 1: to diagnose it. Well, what will that cost? And I said, well,

142
00:06:52,880 --> 00:06:54,839
Speaker 1: you know, we're we're a little over a hundred dollars

143
00:06:54,839 --> 00:06:58,960
Speaker 1: an hour. Hundred dollars an hour, he says, I'm in construction,

144
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:02,360
Speaker 1: I'm eighty dollars and hour. And I looked at him

145
00:07:02,800 --> 00:07:05,720
Speaker 1: and I said, and you know, I guess my, you know,

146
00:07:05,880 --> 00:07:08,720
Speaker 1: my my nonsense filters off because I'm getting older now.

147
00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:10,640
Speaker 1: And I looked at him and I said, yeah, but

148
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:13,840
Speaker 1: you know you're in construction. You're using the tools your

149
00:07:13,880 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: father gave you. You know, my tools are in the

150
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: dumpster because I threw them out on Monday and I

151
00:07:18,040 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: had to buy all new ones on Tuesday. This is

152
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:23,560
Speaker 1: auto repair is a very different business. I said. The

153
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:27,440
Speaker 1: labor rates insignificant. I said, the technology is insurmountable. And

154
00:07:27,520 --> 00:07:29,240
Speaker 1: that's what you have to realize when you're when you're

155
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:32,880
Speaker 1: picking a mechanic. Okay, well, I'll let you know. You know,

156
00:07:32,920 --> 00:07:35,480
Speaker 1: I'm not holding my breath. And the point of this

157
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:38,440
Speaker 1: is how many of you do that? How many of

158
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,960
Speaker 1: you are going in? Are you shopping price on auto repair?

159
00:07:41,240 --> 00:07:43,960
Speaker 1: You can't do that. You've got a shop on competency level.

160
00:07:44,200 --> 00:07:46,880
Speaker 1: You've got a shop on the technology. How was the

161
00:07:46,920 --> 00:07:49,200
Speaker 1: shop equipped? He even walked through the shop. I took

162
00:07:49,280 --> 00:07:50,760
Speaker 1: him through the shop. I kind of give everybody the

163
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:52,400
Speaker 1: tour and he I don't really say much. And they

164
00:07:52,440 --> 00:07:54,640
Speaker 1: walked through the shop and they go, he's, wow, you

165
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,760
Speaker 1: really have a lot of technology in this building. Yep.

166
00:07:57,040 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: And it changes every week every week, all right, you

167
00:08:00,600 --> 00:08:02,000
Speaker 1: don't want to know what we spend in this building

168
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 1: to just maintain, just to work on cars. As I

169
00:08:04,560 --> 00:08:08,480
Speaker 1: say it, we're just working on cars. We put into

170
00:08:08,480 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: the tire machine this week, I'll tell you the story. Yet,

171
00:08:11,000 --> 00:08:13,120
Speaker 1: we spent four grand on the tire machine this yep,

172
00:08:13,240 --> 00:08:16,240
Speaker 1: it's it's a Hunter TC thirty five. And we added

173
00:08:16,320 --> 00:08:18,480
Speaker 1: the extension room with the hydraulic ram and a set

174
00:08:18,520 --> 00:08:21,080
Speaker 1: of adapters and cones to do the newer run flats

175
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:24,920
Speaker 1: and some of the harder, lower profile tires. And you know,

176
00:08:25,000 --> 00:08:26,720
Speaker 1: you sit there and you say to yourself, how how

177
00:08:26,840 --> 00:08:29,920
Speaker 1: soon before you make that money back? All right? I

178
00:08:29,960 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: mean rounded up to four grand? Four grand if you

179
00:08:32,160 --> 00:08:36,400
Speaker 1: charge fifty dollars a tire and you're not, but you know,

180
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,679
Speaker 1: start doing the math, and then some of that fifty

181
00:08:38,679 --> 00:08:40,760
Speaker 1: dollars at tire has to go towards the general overhead

182
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:42,959
Speaker 1: in the first place. So auto repair is not a

183
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:45,600
Speaker 1: cheap business. It's it's not a cheap thing to practice.

184
00:08:45,640 --> 00:08:47,640
Speaker 1: And believe me, we're not practicing. We're doing it each

185
00:08:47,640 --> 00:08:51,559
Speaker 1: and every day. Gary left, Uh, get back to the

186
00:08:51,640 --> 00:08:54,480
Speaker 1: original story in the original comments. And I don't know

187
00:08:54,559 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: that I'll see him, and I don't know that I

188
00:08:56,000 --> 00:08:59,640
Speaker 1: care but the point becomes, I hope you'll learn something

189
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,600
Speaker 1: from the I hope if I can take one listener

190
00:09:01,679 --> 00:09:04,520
Speaker 1: out there and get them to say, you know, I've

191
00:09:04,559 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: got to stop thinking how cheap, I've got to start

192
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,880
Speaker 1: thinking how right, because that's really what it's about. You

193
00:09:10,080 --> 00:09:12,680
Speaker 1: get what you pay for, and in order repair, it's

194
00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:16,079
Speaker 1: getting more and more apparent each and every day. I'll

195
00:09:16,120 --> 00:09:20,560
Speaker 1: close this segment out with this local trans builder, local

196
00:09:20,640 --> 00:09:24,760
Speaker 1: trans shop is UM running an oil chain special, and

197
00:09:25,320 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: I'm kind of I'm kind of laughing. Part of me

198
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:30,120
Speaker 1: is just chuckling because they're gonna do a twenty one

199
00:09:31,160 --> 00:09:33,319
Speaker 1: oil change. And this is a place that's been around

200
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:37,559
Speaker 1: for forty years and they're now branching out into doing

201
00:09:37,600 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: all sorts of automotive work instead of just transmissions. Are

202
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:42,600
Speaker 1: gonna do breaks and suspension and exhaust and tune ups.

203
00:09:42,600 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: As the postcard says, UM air conditioning and cooling, tires

204
00:09:46,000 --> 00:09:50,520
Speaker 1: and wheels, and they're getting in the game late. And

205
00:09:50,760 --> 00:09:53,360
Speaker 1: my point is this is the sign at the beginning

206
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: of the end. A business that survives or tries to

207
00:09:57,360 --> 00:10:00,600
Speaker 1: survive on coupons is a business that is in danger

208
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,720
Speaker 1: of failing, especially in order repair. Because you can't work

209
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,520
Speaker 1: cheap in order repair. On the other side of it,

210
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: if you the consumer, I think that coupons actually work

211
00:10:11,320 --> 00:10:14,920
Speaker 1: in order repair. Long term, You've got to adjust your thinking.

212
00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,480
Speaker 1: You're not trying to watch a cheap baseball game. You

213
00:10:18,600 --> 00:10:21,120
Speaker 1: want to watch a good baseball game. You want to

214
00:10:21,200 --> 00:10:23,559
Speaker 1: go to the team that's loaded with talent and not

215
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:28,000
Speaker 1: necessarily worried about cost, because worried about cost usually put

216
00:10:28,040 --> 00:10:30,120
Speaker 1: you on the side of the road, somewhere along the

217
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:34,200
Speaker 1: way nine zero or on any The car doctor coming

218
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: back right after this, Hey, welcome back, righting the car

219
00:10:44,520 --> 00:10:48,200
Speaker 1: Doctor rolling along the Saturday five nine zero. Let's get

220
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:51,440
Speaker 1: over to Jerry and Carthage, New York. Oh, five Dodge caravan. Jerry,

221
00:10:51,480 --> 00:10:55,440
Speaker 1: Welcome to the car Doctor, sir. How can I help? Yes, Hello,

222
00:10:55,600 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 1: thank you. I've got five caravay grand aravan that has

223
00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:04,600
Speaker 1: an extended crank time on it. Alright, if the weather

224
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: is real, Colm, say sub zero, it fires right up,

225
00:11:09,240 --> 00:11:12,760
Speaker 1: but otherwise it's slow. I'm sorry, a start problem. It

226
00:11:12,880 --> 00:11:17,120
Speaker 1: cranks fine, it will not run after it cranks and crank,

227
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: so it's a long crank time. Yes, it's a longer

228
00:11:21,760 --> 00:11:24,760
Speaker 1: than normal crank time. Um, so we have something that

229
00:11:25,080 --> 00:11:27,000
Speaker 1: so we have so we have something to work around.

230
00:11:27,200 --> 00:11:30,480
Speaker 1: A baseline. You know, if if normal crank to start

231
00:11:30,559 --> 00:11:34,160
Speaker 1: time is two to four seconds, maybe this cranks eight

232
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:39,920
Speaker 1: to ten seconds. Oh, yes, yes, definitely. So when it

233
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:41,840
Speaker 1: when it goes so this time of year is probably

234
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:47,000
Speaker 1: it's probably doing that particular problem, right, extended crank time. Yes,

235
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 1: And if it sets a while, maybe twenty minutes or so,

236
00:11:50,800 --> 00:11:54,080
Speaker 1: then it's just as bad, yes, or worse. So has

237
00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:59,280
Speaker 1: anybody tried to diagnose it? Yes, I'm I'm an old mechanic.

238
00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,640
Speaker 1: All right, what have you come up with? What sort

239
00:12:01,640 --> 00:12:05,600
Speaker 1: of diagnostic routine have you been through? Well? First of all,

240
00:12:05,679 --> 00:12:07,800
Speaker 1: the spark plug gets were very wide, and I've changed

241
00:12:07,840 --> 00:12:12,400
Speaker 1: the plugs twice. I have checked the fuel pressure. I've

242
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: checked compression on the front of three cylinders and they

243
00:12:14,880 --> 00:12:18,000
Speaker 1: fired up that day on the rear three with the

244
00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:21,920
Speaker 1: plugs out of the front. I've cleaned the throttle body.

245
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,680
Speaker 1: I've put cleaner through the gas tank maybe three times.

246
00:12:27,720 --> 00:12:30,319
Speaker 1: I changed the sottle body. I've changed the heated area.

247
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:34,679
Speaker 1: It takes sensor. I've changed the map sensor. Okay, so

248
00:12:36,160 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 1: a scans, yes, it scans number one misfire and also

249
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:48,480
Speaker 1: multiple That number one seems to be the cantalizing one. Okay,

250
00:12:48,679 --> 00:12:52,800
Speaker 1: but how does it run? Does it run? Okay? It

251
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 1: runs like it runs like a scared rabbit. There's no

252
00:12:56,000 --> 00:12:59,079
Speaker 1: there's no fuel problem that I can detect on the

253
00:12:59,160 --> 00:13:03,560
Speaker 1: highway idea in detect fuel leakage. When I checked the pressure,

254
00:13:04,120 --> 00:13:06,679
Speaker 1: I thought maybe that was the issue. But no, I

255
00:13:07,080 --> 00:13:10,200
Speaker 1: think the engine is getting too much fuel. I've worked

256
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,960
Speaker 1: on carburettors and other cars, and when it fires up,

257
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:18,560
Speaker 1: it smells. It's like the engine the injectors are pumping

258
00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,480
Speaker 1: too much fuel. All right, So Jerry, let me ask

259
00:13:20,480 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: you this question. What kind of scan till you use them?

260
00:13:24,120 --> 00:13:26,280
Speaker 1: I'm using that that coron, all right? Can you read

261
00:13:26,360 --> 00:13:30,200
Speaker 1: data stream with it? Yes? I can read data stream?

262
00:13:30,280 --> 00:13:34,520
Speaker 1: All right. Have you looked at fuel trim? Yes? And

263
00:13:34,640 --> 00:13:36,640
Speaker 1: I don't know for sure. It's been a while since

264
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:45,280
Speaker 1: i've checked it. Well, I think it's anything, uh maybe

265
00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: three to five plus minus short and long term. I

266
00:13:51,800 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: believe so. So I'm sorry I'm not up to date. One. Okay,

267
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:59,320
Speaker 1: so listen, let's let's start at the beginning, all right. Um.

268
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,280
Speaker 1: I like to add of checking fuel pressure, I also

269
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: want to know volume, all right, when you hook, when

270
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:06,680
Speaker 1: you hook the fuel pressure gage up. Did you happen

271
00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:08,959
Speaker 1: to do the Snapple bottle test where you with the

272
00:14:09,040 --> 00:14:11,959
Speaker 1: engine running, hit the release button and fill a small

273
00:14:12,040 --> 00:14:16,640
Speaker 1: Snapple bottle and under thirty seconds? Did you try that? No?

274
00:14:16,880 --> 00:14:19,920
Speaker 1: I didn't. The difficult engine you've got to tie into

275
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:22,400
Speaker 1: the fuel system if you're familiar with it, and you

276
00:14:22,480 --> 00:14:24,560
Speaker 1: don't have a straighter vengage, so it's a kind of

277
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:29,640
Speaker 1: a painting the neck to attach a fuel gauge you claystem.

278
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:32,680
Speaker 1: And now I understand, um, you know, but like I like,

279
00:14:32,800 --> 00:14:35,360
Speaker 1: I always say that difficulty doesn't determine how I remember

280
00:14:35,400 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: my diagnosis. I've still got to go and check fuel pressure.

281
00:14:38,280 --> 00:14:40,080
Speaker 1: Three things in fuel pressure, and then you can stop

282
00:14:40,120 --> 00:14:43,080
Speaker 1: worrying about it pressure, volume, and how cleans the fuel

283
00:14:43,120 --> 00:14:46,360
Speaker 1: sample coming out of the tank, all right, Because we

284
00:14:46,400 --> 00:14:48,600
Speaker 1: could sit here and conjecture, you know, we could sit

285
00:14:48,640 --> 00:14:50,440
Speaker 1: here and say no, it's not that, and we could

286
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,440
Speaker 1: do this all day long. But you know, if we're

287
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:54,920
Speaker 1: gonna be diagnosing, that's those are the three things I

288
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,040
Speaker 1: care about, all right. I'm also concerned. I also want

289
00:14:58,040 --> 00:15:01,120
Speaker 1: to see you know, when you check fuel essure was

290
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:04,600
Speaker 1: it after the vehicle started or while you were cranking.

291
00:15:06,920 --> 00:15:09,120
Speaker 1: I had it on for a series of who starts,

292
00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:13,160
Speaker 1: and I had it sitting outside my garage, and I

293
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:15,760
Speaker 1: had I had the gauge on it for several hours,

294
00:15:16,480 --> 00:15:20,320
Speaker 1: and I restarted, watched the gauge restarted. It didn't seem

295
00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:23,160
Speaker 1: like I had a significant fuel lost problem, I believe

296
00:15:23,160 --> 00:15:26,800
Speaker 1: because on this engine is somewhere around sixty pounds. It looked,

297
00:15:26,880 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: it looked like by the readings it was okay. And again,

298
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,320
Speaker 1: this engine does not suffer for power on the highway.

299
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,440
Speaker 1: And and you're not experiencing any great residual pressure dropping

300
00:15:38,520 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: between shutting it off and restarting. You know, No, that's

301
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:44,200
Speaker 1: what I was looking for. No, No, the pressure. I

302
00:15:44,240 --> 00:15:47,120
Speaker 1: didn't let it that overnight. That's one one test I

303
00:15:47,240 --> 00:15:49,560
Speaker 1: haven't made is an overnight test. Well, and I think

304
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: you know what you know, typically i'll see you know,

305
00:15:51,360 --> 00:15:54,040
Speaker 1: twenty minutes to an hour. After an hour, I'll usually

306
00:15:54,080 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: see a fuel pressure drained off. But you know, when

307
00:15:56,720 --> 00:15:59,400
Speaker 1: I hit the key, I'm looking for, bang right back up,

308
00:16:00,040 --> 00:16:04,960
Speaker 1: all right, it's it's it's got to be instantaneous. It recovered,

309
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,720
Speaker 1: It recovered completely. And I've tried suckling the switch in

310
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 1: the morning. That doesn't help at all. Okay, So how

311
00:16:11,880 --> 00:16:13,880
Speaker 1: about that. How about tomorrow morning, you go out there

312
00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,440
Speaker 1: when it's cold, turn the key on, but don't start it,

313
00:16:17,080 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: and with your scan tool, look at intake air temp

314
00:16:19,920 --> 00:16:25,120
Speaker 1: and cool intempt censors. Let's see if they've they've they've

315
00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:28,280
Speaker 1: got to be within ten degrees of each other. Usually,

316
00:16:28,760 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: depending upon the weather this time of year, you're probably

317
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:34,200
Speaker 1: gonna see closer more like five degrees is one of them. Lying.

318
00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:36,640
Speaker 1: You know, if intake air temp is telling you it's

319
00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: twenty degrees out and it's five degrees, then we've got

320
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: a problem, and it's gonna it's gonna affect how that

321
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,120
Speaker 1: vehicle is gonna fire. All right, I mean I can

322
00:16:46,160 --> 00:16:51,480
Speaker 1: appre I can go ahead, go ahead, pardon me for interrupted.

323
00:16:52,520 --> 00:16:54,640
Speaker 1: I didn't have it. I did have a scan by

324
00:16:54,720 --> 00:16:58,920
Speaker 1: a more up to date at Crown scanner. And that

325
00:16:59,120 --> 00:17:05,560
Speaker 1: scanner thinks my GPS if high. Okay, So the throttle

326
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:10,040
Speaker 1: plate is a little open. How's the idle speed? The

327
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,640
Speaker 1: idle speed is fine, okay. So here's the here's the deal.

328
00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:19,520
Speaker 1: That well, that generation that generation three eight. Okay, if

329
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:21,600
Speaker 1: you take the air and take ducked off and look

330
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: at the throttle plate you know, closed as closed. You

331
00:17:25,320 --> 00:17:28,840
Speaker 1: want it just just cracked off idle, just to the

332
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:32,119
Speaker 1: point where it doesn't stick in the board, all right.

333
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:34,200
Speaker 1: You want to go a touch more, you can go

334
00:17:34,280 --> 00:17:36,000
Speaker 1: a touch more on that final set screw. It's not

335
00:17:36,040 --> 00:17:38,040
Speaker 1: gonna affect the whole heck of a lot. There's still

336
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:40,080
Speaker 1: a cable going up to this vehicle, right, This is

337
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: not drive by wire. This is a cable. Is a

338
00:17:42,119 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: throttle cable car right, it's it's it's it's yeah, it's

339
00:17:46,040 --> 00:17:49,000
Speaker 1: it's one's cruise ones right or once kicked down. It's

340
00:17:49,000 --> 00:17:51,720
Speaker 1: not gonna affect a whole lot, all right, where I'd

341
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:54,679
Speaker 1: be looking as i'd be looking at inputs, something's askew

342
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,080
Speaker 1: before you even turn the key. All right, it's missing something,

343
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:02,080
Speaker 1: all right. Um. Would also be considerate of and think

344
00:18:02,119 --> 00:18:06,200
Speaker 1: about cam sensor faults, although it should set a fault code.

345
00:18:06,800 --> 00:18:09,639
Speaker 1: This might be a case where someone's gonna need to

346
00:18:09,680 --> 00:18:14,600
Speaker 1: hook up a scope and look at cam crank censor sink,

347
00:18:15,160 --> 00:18:18,600
Speaker 1: meaning does the crank sensor trigger at the right moment

348
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:22,520
Speaker 1: in relations of piston crank location, as well as does

349
00:18:22,560 --> 00:18:25,480
Speaker 1: the cam sensor line up with the crank sensor, telling

350
00:18:25,560 --> 00:18:28,240
Speaker 1: it that everything is in time and the sequence is

351
00:18:28,280 --> 00:18:30,320
Speaker 1: occurring at the right moments. A couple of things for

352
00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:31,800
Speaker 1: you have to look at. Jerry, get a look at those.

353
00:18:31,800 --> 00:18:33,360
Speaker 1: Give me a call back next week. We can get

354
00:18:33,359 --> 00:18:35,000
Speaker 1: into it a little deeper. I'm on a nating in

355
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:49,400
Speaker 1: the car Doctor back right after this week. She's real

356
00:18:49,600 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: find my phone night, She's real find my phone my fault. Hey,

357
00:18:58,880 --> 00:19:03,400
Speaker 1: welcome back the hard Doctor rolling along here at nine zero.

358
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:05,240
Speaker 1: Let's get over and talk to Bill brighton Michigan and

359
00:19:05,440 --> 00:19:08,000
Speaker 1: h Chevy Impala. Bill, welcome back to the car Doctor. Sure,

360
00:19:08,040 --> 00:19:11,080
Speaker 1: how can I help? Thank you? Run two thousand eight

361
00:19:11,119 --> 00:19:14,960
Speaker 1: Impala with forty miles. Car is nine years old and

362
00:19:15,040 --> 00:19:17,240
Speaker 1: out of an abundance of caution. I'd like to remove

363
00:19:17,280 --> 00:19:21,840
Speaker 1: the spark plugs and either Anti sees them or change them. Um.

364
00:19:22,560 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: I wanted to get your opinion on the um spark

365
00:19:26,119 --> 00:19:29,520
Speaker 1: plug wires. Should those be changed given the age? Yeah?

366
00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: I would, Um, you know, and and chances are you're

367
00:19:33,240 --> 00:19:35,920
Speaker 1: probably gonna break one or two of them anyway. And

368
00:19:36,080 --> 00:19:38,280
Speaker 1: I imagine you know, and at this point in the game,

369
00:19:38,320 --> 00:19:41,440
Speaker 1: the cars, the cars, you know, nine years old. Um,

370
00:19:41,880 --> 00:19:43,960
Speaker 1: a lot of heat under the hood. Uh. You know,

371
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:47,160
Speaker 1: at this particular point, I'd be thrilled that I could

372
00:19:47,200 --> 00:19:52,359
Speaker 1: still get a good quality set Delco whoever you're gonna use, Yeah, right,

373
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,320
Speaker 1: And you know, because the car companies are gonna change

374
00:19:55,359 --> 00:19:57,640
Speaker 1: things on us, Bill, I've come to that conclusion. I've

375
00:19:57,640 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: watched them do it, you know, each and every year,

376
00:20:00,480 --> 00:20:02,920
Speaker 1: that if they can save two cents and change a

377
00:20:03,000 --> 00:20:05,280
Speaker 1: vendor and change the quality of something and yeah it's

378
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,000
Speaker 1: not as good as you know it once was, then

379
00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,960
Speaker 1: we'll do that. Uh, you know, because they're interested in

380
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,560
Speaker 1: really maintaining you, keeping that car running forever. They want

381
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:17,240
Speaker 1: you to come back and buy another one question that

382
00:20:17,280 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: should be done on a cold engine run? Yeah, I

383
00:20:19,320 --> 00:20:22,040
Speaker 1: like to. I would like to, and I probably wouldn't.

384
00:20:22,080 --> 00:20:24,440
Speaker 1: I probably wouldn't use any season. Let me just say

385
00:20:24,520 --> 00:20:26,680
Speaker 1: this to you. I used to be a big antie

386
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:31,280
Speaker 1: season guy, and I'm telling you, I just I feel

387
00:20:31,359 --> 00:20:34,560
Speaker 1: like they have changed the formulation of anti sas over

388
00:20:34,600 --> 00:20:37,600
Speaker 1: the years, and it's now it's to the point that

389
00:20:37,840 --> 00:20:40,920
Speaker 1: when I removed something that was anti sas, it's very

390
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,000
Speaker 1: dry and dusty. There's it's like they put too much

391
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:48,360
Speaker 1: glass in the mixture, and it seems to me either

392
00:20:48,400 --> 00:20:51,119
Speaker 1: I'm gonna use a very very very small coating. What

393
00:20:51,320 --> 00:20:53,680
Speaker 1: I've done in the last couple of four or five years,

394
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 1: I've gone back to the old way. I just put

395
00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,040
Speaker 1: a drop of engine oil on the threads, a drop

396
00:20:58,119 --> 00:21:00,920
Speaker 1: a drop of engine oil. I hand torkam and or

397
00:21:01,000 --> 00:21:03,280
Speaker 1: you know, I snug him. I don't kill them, and

398
00:21:03,920 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: you know, it just makes life easier. And obviously I

399
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,720
Speaker 1: know you know this, but for everyone else's benefit, don't

400
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:11,119
Speaker 1: forget the dielectric, grease the boots on the spark plug wires,

401
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:14,199
Speaker 1: you know, to help me remove question on the throttle

402
00:21:14,240 --> 00:21:16,639
Speaker 1: body cleaning on this. This is a drive by wire vehicle.

403
00:21:17,640 --> 00:21:19,600
Speaker 1: Key should be in the on position and press on

404
00:21:19,680 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: the accelerator. Open the blade you can. You can also

405
00:21:23,640 --> 00:21:25,880
Speaker 1: key off. Just you know, open the blade by hand.

406
00:21:26,119 --> 00:21:29,440
Speaker 1: It's not gonna hurt anything. And just scrub around in

407
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:31,800
Speaker 1: there and clean it. And you know, if you end

408
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,320
Speaker 1: up with an idle issue, I'm not saying you will,

409
00:21:34,400 --> 00:21:36,320
Speaker 1: you won't, but you know it's easy enough to reset.

410
00:21:36,359 --> 00:21:39,000
Speaker 1: I would do a disconnect the battery, and you know

411
00:21:39,040 --> 00:21:41,879
Speaker 1: I would do a ten on one WAT resistor wire

412
00:21:41,920 --> 00:21:45,560
Speaker 1: across the positive negative battery terminals, battery battery cables, off

413
00:21:45,600 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: the battery and bleed out the computer memory for ten

414
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:51,520
Speaker 1: minutes and let it re you know, learn where it's at. Um,

415
00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:53,520
Speaker 1: you know, and you should be just fine. But uh,

416
00:21:53,760 --> 00:21:55,080
Speaker 1: you know, yeah, I would do that, and I would

417
00:21:55,440 --> 00:21:56,800
Speaker 1: if you've got a way to do some kind of

418
00:21:56,840 --> 00:22:00,520
Speaker 1: induction cleaning, you know, and and and clean you know,

419
00:22:00,600 --> 00:22:03,280
Speaker 1: the injectors and um, obviously some fuel system cleaner in

420
00:22:03,320 --> 00:22:05,760
Speaker 1: the tank. Great time to be doing that. We we

421
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:09,000
Speaker 1: really like the Berryman stuff. If you've got an Arraillioto

422
00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:11,440
Speaker 1: Parts near you, get out, get out to Rallyoto Parts

423
00:22:11,480 --> 00:22:13,520
Speaker 1: and get a bottle of Berryman and throw that in

424
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: the tank, and um, you know, you should be well

425
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:18,000
Speaker 1: on your way. And that's that's normal maintenance. You know,

426
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:19,920
Speaker 1: this is this is maintenance at this point. And I

427
00:22:20,359 --> 00:22:22,280
Speaker 1: commend you, Bill, because most people would wait for the

428
00:22:22,359 --> 00:22:24,960
Speaker 1: hundred thousand mile mark to change those spark plugs and

429
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:26,480
Speaker 1: then they'll be saying, gee, the plugs are stuck in

430
00:22:26,520 --> 00:22:28,800
Speaker 1: the head because it's yea, it took you nine years

431
00:22:28,880 --> 00:22:30,920
Speaker 1: to go fifty thousand miles, so in another nine years,

432
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:33,000
Speaker 1: let's see, the car will be almost twenty years old. Hey,

433
00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:36,040
Speaker 1: I can't get the plugs out of the head. Yeah.

434
00:22:36,080 --> 00:22:37,679
Speaker 1: The only thing I've had to do so far run

435
00:22:37,880 --> 00:22:41,760
Speaker 1: is a cooling system flush and m the thermostatic. I

436
00:22:41,840 --> 00:22:44,560
Speaker 1: do that about every five years. And well, yeah, and

437
00:22:44,880 --> 00:22:46,480
Speaker 1: you know, And the problem is, it's not that the

438
00:22:46,560 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: plugs are worn out. It's the the additives in the

439
00:22:49,840 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: gasoline today are constantly changing and that's what's going to

440
00:22:54,720 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: affect it. Number one and number two, it's the porcelain.

441
00:22:58,600 --> 00:23:01,639
Speaker 1: The porcelain is getting brittle, it's getting hot. The wires

442
00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:04,720
Speaker 1: are getting brittled. The wires aren't ceiling as well, and

443
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:07,440
Speaker 1: all of that will add up to outside the cylinder

444
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:13,080
Speaker 1: misfires against the porcelain and the nutshell missing down by

445
00:23:13,119 --> 00:23:15,399
Speaker 1: the wire. So yeah, it's just it's it's normal maintenance. Man.

446
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: It's cheaper to do the maintenance than replace the vehicle.

447
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:20,959
Speaker 1: For sure, I will do that. I appreciate the excellent advice, Ron,

448
00:23:21,040 --> 00:23:22,960
Speaker 1: and thanks again for all the help. Oh you're very welcome, sir.

449
00:23:23,040 --> 00:23:25,000
Speaker 1: Good luck to you. Bill and um, Yeah, Bill is

450
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:26,720
Speaker 1: a longtime listener. We've been talking to him off and on.

451
00:23:26,800 --> 00:23:28,280
Speaker 1: He's got a couple of ponty x too. I guess

452
00:23:28,280 --> 00:23:30,560
Speaker 1: the Grand damns. Uh, the grand Dame is okay at

453
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:32,480
Speaker 1: the present time. Let's get over to Jeff and Lacrosse,

454
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:37,920
Speaker 1: Wisconsin Explorer. Exploder explorer doesn't matter. Um, sorry, Jeff, I'm

455
00:23:37,920 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: only kidding. How can I help you, sir? Well? UM,

456
00:23:41,920 --> 00:23:44,879
Speaker 1: I guess the biggest thing is that it's um, the

457
00:23:44,960 --> 00:23:47,119
Speaker 1: last couple of Hags haven't been driving it because I

458
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,600
Speaker 1: drive him out of car and just I kind of

459
00:23:49,680 --> 00:23:52,800
Speaker 1: use it for just kind of puts around hout in

460
00:23:52,840 --> 00:23:55,439
Speaker 1: the woods and all that. So anyway, so as a result,

461
00:23:55,560 --> 00:23:59,920
Speaker 1: I'm not driving it and appears that it's just nutstuding

462
00:24:00,119 --> 00:24:04,119
Speaker 1: get a prank and uh, but I mean I'll put

463
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,160
Speaker 1: on the on the gas and just going going going

464
00:24:07,240 --> 00:24:11,360
Speaker 1: one just when it starts, it's gonna think it's gonna start,

465
00:24:12,160 --> 00:24:14,200
Speaker 1: and I take my foot off acceller and stop it

466
00:24:14,320 --> 00:24:19,159
Speaker 1: just just stops. Um. I'm just kind of wondering, is

467
00:24:19,240 --> 00:24:23,200
Speaker 1: there any any thoughts of the gas itself just kind

468
00:24:23,240 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: of coagulating. I I think what you've got is infected

469
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:32,480
Speaker 1: spider ittis. Um, it's a technical term. So let's let's

470
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,760
Speaker 1: do it like this. Let's let's if we can do

471
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:36,440
Speaker 1: you have a scan tool of some type. You have

472
00:24:36,480 --> 00:24:40,480
Speaker 1: a way to get this scanned. Well, auto the Autoboone

473
00:24:40,520 --> 00:24:43,520
Speaker 1: store said, if I could bring get it down there there, Yeah,

474
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:46,399
Speaker 1: check it out. But because I'd like to see you

475
00:24:46,520 --> 00:24:49,000
Speaker 1: scan it, all right, because what I'm what I'm what

476
00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:51,600
Speaker 1: I'm gonna what I'm gonna tell you next is you

477
00:24:51,880 --> 00:24:56,000
Speaker 1: probably have a spider's nest built into the mass airflow sensor.

478
00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,320
Speaker 1: Here's the deal, all right, you have a barbecue in

479
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:03,159
Speaker 1: your back backyard. You ever you ever see where the

480
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:06,840
Speaker 1: spiders build the little spider web inside the propane cylinders

481
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:08,920
Speaker 1: and they they do you have any of those issues

482
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:10,680
Speaker 1: where you gotta put the spider guards on the on

483
00:25:10,760 --> 00:25:12,840
Speaker 1: the propane jets so that they don't build spider webs

484
00:25:12,840 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 1: in there. Yeah, we just got the old fashioned barbecue. Yea,

485
00:25:16,720 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: it'll it'll happen like that. It's maybe maybe it's a

486
00:25:19,080 --> 00:25:21,679
Speaker 1: New Jersey thing, but you know, we'll get we'll get

487
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:25,119
Speaker 1: spiders inside the barbecues and it will actually block the

488
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:27,240
Speaker 1: gas flow out to the jet and it won't it

489
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:31,320
Speaker 1: won't ignite. And we see it with cars too, especially

490
00:25:31,440 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: cars that have set You know, spiders are an animal

491
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:36,200
Speaker 1: or something some sort of the bringing the mass airflow

492
00:25:36,280 --> 00:25:39,280
Speaker 1: sensor blocking the air intakes somehow and it becomes a

493
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: conversation about, uh, you know, take the mass airflow censer off,

494
00:25:43,240 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: look inside, what does it look like? You know? Now,

495
00:25:46,720 --> 00:25:49,679
Speaker 1: in some cases I've also seen where mass air flows

496
00:25:49,720 --> 00:25:52,040
Speaker 1: on this particular model just go bad from sitting. They

497
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:54,600
Speaker 1: just can because, uh, you know, it's like you and

498
00:25:54,720 --> 00:25:57,200
Speaker 1: me sitting in a chair each and every day, even

499
00:25:57,240 --> 00:26:00,239
Speaker 1: though we're not going anywhere, we're aging by the minute, right,

500
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:03,320
Speaker 1: So you know, things get a little older and eventually

501
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:06,439
Speaker 1: something pops, whether it's our need from trying to get up,

502
00:26:06,880 --> 00:26:10,440
Speaker 1: or whether it's the mass airflow sensor circuitry because it

503
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: it from sitting, corrosion weather, an animal who knows um

504
00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:18,280
Speaker 1: simplest thing, unplug the mass airflow sensor and try to

505
00:26:18,280 --> 00:26:22,560
Speaker 1: start in the car a mass? Right, this should have

506
00:26:22,600 --> 00:26:25,240
Speaker 1: a mass? Which enginees is four leaders? Single overhead cam

507
00:26:25,320 --> 00:26:30,800
Speaker 1: overhead valve? Which engine is? This? Is this six cylinder

508
00:26:30,920 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: overhead overhead overhead what overhead cam overhead valve? This is

509
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 1: not a V eight? Correct? Correct? Okayad right? This will

510
00:26:41,440 --> 00:26:43,920
Speaker 1: this will have this will have a mass airflow sensor.

511
00:26:44,000 --> 00:26:46,480
Speaker 1: Mass airflow sensor Google Search and look it up on

512
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:50,360
Speaker 1: YouTube n explore mass airflow sensor location and it's going

513
00:26:50,440 --> 00:26:53,840
Speaker 1: to be a three or five wire connection on the

514
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,760
Speaker 1: air intake DUC. You know that plastic hose that leads

515
00:26:56,800 --> 00:26:58,720
Speaker 1: into the throttle body. Do you know where that pieces

516
00:26:59,240 --> 00:27:02,119
Speaker 1: the air intake? Well, I can always find out. Is

517
00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,560
Speaker 1: that the one that's kind of like in the corner

518
00:27:03,720 --> 00:27:06,560
Speaker 1: as you look at the engine from it's over in

519
00:27:06,640 --> 00:27:11,600
Speaker 1: the left, in the immediate left hand side that it

520
00:27:11,600 --> 00:27:13,439
Speaker 1: sounds like you're describing mass air and it leads up

521
00:27:13,480 --> 00:27:15,560
Speaker 1: to the engine. It's a duct that leads up to

522
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: the engine. Unplugged that verify it first before you do it,

523
00:27:19,640 --> 00:27:22,120
Speaker 1: But unplug that. Try starting the car. If the car runs,

524
00:27:22,160 --> 00:27:24,160
Speaker 1: it's going to turn on the check engine light right away.

525
00:27:24,720 --> 00:27:28,879
Speaker 1: All right, there there is the I think that there

526
00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,320
Speaker 1: is a check light that's on. But it went on

527
00:27:31,520 --> 00:27:36,680
Speaker 1: a bob oh gosh above six s. This is me.

528
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:42,439
Speaker 1: She's almost eight months ago. So it had it had

529
00:27:42,480 --> 00:27:46,520
Speaker 1: a fold code when you parked it. Yeah, yeah, that's

530
00:27:47,720 --> 00:27:51,119
Speaker 1: but you know, it always seemed to be running, you know, decent,

531
00:27:51,240 --> 00:27:56,879
Speaker 1: you know, nothing to really notice or cause here's your

532
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,639
Speaker 1: here's your concern. Yeah, here's your concern. Listen, you know

533
00:28:00,680 --> 00:28:02,640
Speaker 1: why that check engine light came on. The check engine

534
00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 1: light came on because the vehicle exceeded federal emissions one

535
00:28:06,359 --> 00:28:08,720
Speaker 1: and a half times and it created a fault. The

536
00:28:08,840 --> 00:28:11,800
Speaker 1: fact that it kept running is because cars today are

537
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,480
Speaker 1: like rocket ships and airplanes. They have redundancy built into

538
00:28:14,560 --> 00:28:17,480
Speaker 1: them that will allow them to continue to operate because

539
00:28:17,560 --> 00:28:20,760
Speaker 1: that the belief system is that the operator you will

540
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:23,159
Speaker 1: get it into a mechanic and let them look at it. Um,

541
00:28:23,440 --> 00:28:26,320
Speaker 1: don't take it for granted, you or anybody else out there,

542
00:28:26,600 --> 00:28:29,160
Speaker 1: just because the car keeps running. Don't ignore a dish

543
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:32,200
Speaker 1: warning light because it could be something really serious that

544
00:28:32,320 --> 00:28:34,679
Speaker 1: in time will put you on the side of the road. Uh.

545
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,160
Speaker 1: You know, here's a case where you speaking, I'm speaking

546
00:28:38,200 --> 00:28:41,120
Speaker 1: to all of you out there, that it becomes very

547
00:28:41,200 --> 00:28:44,440
Speaker 1: difficult to diagnose a vehicle without some form of a

548
00:28:44,520 --> 00:28:48,239
Speaker 1: scan tool. I think that I think manufacturers should put

549
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,360
Speaker 1: scan tools into glove compartments. Uh you know, it's instead

550
00:28:51,400 --> 00:28:53,720
Speaker 1: of giving a fancy first aid kits like they do

551
00:28:53,800 --> 00:28:55,480
Speaker 1: in some of the cars today. And I'm not knocking

552
00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: first aid. Everybody needs a generic scan tool so at

553
00:28:58,240 --> 00:28:59,680
Speaker 1: least they know what kind of code they're dealing with

554
00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,239
Speaker 1: when they go and talk to the mechanic. I think

555
00:29:01,280 --> 00:29:03,040
Speaker 1: it would be a big help. But take a look

556
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,000
Speaker 1: at the mass airflow sensor. See what that does for you,

557
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: and then we can talk again if we have to

558
00:29:07,840 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: zero run Nading the Car Doctor coming back right after this,

559
00:29:15,360 --> 00:29:17,720
Speaker 1: Welcome back Nating the Car Doctor. Let's get over to

560
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,760
Speaker 1: Mike online to some comments about where would you buy

561
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:22,480
Speaker 1: a car from? Mike. Welcome back to the Car Doctor.

562
00:29:22,520 --> 00:29:24,760
Speaker 1: Ser Hey, Ryan, how are you doing good? Talk to

563
00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:28,760
Speaker 1: you again? Uh, just one quick comment about the last call.

564
00:29:28,840 --> 00:29:32,440
Speaker 1: Are you were talking about a tool that might tell

565
00:29:33,000 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: people what is the matter with their cars? Don't? Don't

566
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:41,080
Speaker 1: some vehicles already have kind of an instrumentation built in

567
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,680
Speaker 1: that will give them error codes and their instrument panels

568
00:29:44,800 --> 00:29:47,240
Speaker 1: or is that not? I'm not I'm not aware of

569
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:49,440
Speaker 1: any of the newer ones, Mike. It used to be

570
00:29:49,880 --> 00:29:54,200
Speaker 1: on Chrysler used to have it, Cadillac used to have

571
00:29:54,280 --> 00:29:56,000
Speaker 1: it where they would count out codes when it was

572
00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:57,760
Speaker 1: just the two digit code, they would count it out

573
00:29:57,800 --> 00:30:01,240
Speaker 1: on the on the dashboard self. You know, if something

574
00:30:01,360 --> 00:30:04,920
Speaker 1: newer has it, it's something I'm not aware of, and

575
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,240
Speaker 1: it's something no one's ever brought up to me. I think,

576
00:30:07,360 --> 00:30:09,600
Speaker 1: I think now it's just you know, let's count out,

577
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:13,520
Speaker 1: let's spell out a P zero. It would take some

578
00:30:13,760 --> 00:30:16,120
Speaker 1: kind of cool just to have a little information sent

579
00:30:16,160 --> 00:30:19,920
Speaker 1: there with a couple of basic codes. Um. The thing

580
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:24,160
Speaker 1: I was interested in talking to about today would be Um,

581
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:28,320
Speaker 1: many cars are made in a lot of different places. Now.

582
00:30:28,560 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: A lot of people don't know that the General Motors

583
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,280
Speaker 1: makes a car over in Poland that they import here,

584
00:30:36,080 --> 00:30:41,240
Speaker 1: and that's the Beauty Cascada, a little convertible they make. Um.

585
00:30:41,720 --> 00:30:46,000
Speaker 1: You know that Volvo might be made in China or Belgium. Um.

586
00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,080
Speaker 1: And my question to you is do you think if

587
00:30:49,160 --> 00:30:52,200
Speaker 1: people knew where their cars were built where they buy

588
00:30:52,320 --> 00:30:56,160
Speaker 1: them based on today's climate. I know the answer, the

589
00:30:56,240 --> 00:30:59,240
Speaker 1: correct answer is probably yes. But I've got to tell

590
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,680
Speaker 1: you in my heart, I don't think so. I don't think.

591
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,120
Speaker 1: I don't. I just don't. And you won't like my answer,

592
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,080
Speaker 1: and it sounds a little harsh. I don't think. I

593
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,080
Speaker 1: don't think. The critical thinking skills of much of the

594
00:31:10,160 --> 00:31:13,200
Speaker 1: population is there too. They see the difference where it

595
00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 1: would really matter. No, I agree with you, you know,

596
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:19,040
Speaker 1: I just I just think that, you know, people would

597
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,840
Speaker 1: take a look around, like they look at the focus,

598
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,440
Speaker 1: you know, they look at the focus. Some of those

599
00:31:24,480 --> 00:31:27,320
Speaker 1: are built in China, that cars built down in Brazil.

600
00:31:28,040 --> 00:31:30,959
Speaker 1: And I don't think it's just as easy as saying, well,

601
00:31:31,040 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: they can't. They can't bring cars into the country and

602
00:31:35,040 --> 00:31:38,320
Speaker 1: have everything built here, because look at high end and

603
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: look at some of the Korean manufacturers, Mercedes and you know,

604
00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:48,000
Speaker 1: bm W, all of the foreign manufacturers have cars that

605
00:31:48,160 --> 00:31:50,920
Speaker 1: are assembled in this country. And we know why because

606
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: it's cheaper. They don't use you in a labor well. Now,

607
00:31:55,200 --> 00:31:57,080
Speaker 1: and I'll try and I'll try not to get too

608
00:31:57,080 --> 00:32:00,080
Speaker 1: political here, Mike, what I think needs to happen. I

609
00:32:00,120 --> 00:32:03,240
Speaker 1: think more manufacturing needs to be brought back here. And

610
00:32:04,360 --> 00:32:06,040
Speaker 1: however it's done, And I don't want to get into

611
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:08,000
Speaker 1: the whole of the union is expensive thing or the

612
00:32:08,120 --> 00:32:10,280
Speaker 1: union has to be That's not what I'm interested in.

613
00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:13,520
Speaker 1: I'll touch on it this way. You brought up Hyundai,

614
00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,280
Speaker 1: and then I would think of Kia. A couple of months,

615
00:32:16,320 --> 00:32:19,160
Speaker 1: maybe a year ago, Hyundai and Kia were having problems

616
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:22,240
Speaker 1: that their assembly plants getting parts here in time, and

617
00:32:22,320 --> 00:32:24,680
Speaker 1: there was a part shortage on certain Hunday's and kias

618
00:32:25,320 --> 00:32:28,480
Speaker 1: you know, dealing with a part shortage in Korea versus

619
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:30,720
Speaker 1: the United States, which one is easier to deal with.

620
00:32:31,240 --> 00:32:33,720
Speaker 1: I think more manufacturing has to be brought back here

621
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:38,240
Speaker 1: at some level to ensure for national security sake and

622
00:32:38,280 --> 00:32:41,280
Speaker 1: transportation that we can keep cars rolling and moving, because

623
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:44,080
Speaker 1: I think it's just that darn important, more so than

624
00:32:44,120 --> 00:32:46,600
Speaker 1: where the car is made. I want to know who's

625
00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:48,720
Speaker 1: scan tool I'm using because I want to fix it,

626
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,800
Speaker 1: because sooner or later, it doesn't matter how new it is.

627
00:32:51,240 --> 00:32:53,560
Speaker 1: Sooner or later it's gonna break and somebody's gonna have

628
00:32:53,600 --> 00:32:55,280
Speaker 1: to fix it. And that's really what I think about. Mike.

629
00:32:55,640 --> 00:32:57,720
Speaker 1: I love your comments and your insight. Keep them coming

630
00:32:59,080 --> 00:33:01,720
Speaker 1: zero zero. The car doctors coming back right after this

631
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:06,840
Speaker 1: welcome back, aren't the car doctor. Let's get over to

632
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,040
Speaker 1: Dave and Iowa with some comments about new cars. Dave,

633
00:33:09,040 --> 00:33:12,800
Speaker 1: you're on with the car doctors? Sure, how can I help? Jim?

634
00:33:12,880 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: I wanted to shoot We got about a minute. Yeah, okay, great.

635
00:33:17,480 --> 00:33:19,560
Speaker 1: I wanted to show a concept with you. I've had

636
00:33:20,080 --> 00:33:22,040
Speaker 1: uh I cook a little test the other day on

637
00:33:22,080 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 1: the end. My wife gave me an i Q test

638
00:33:24,400 --> 00:33:26,600
Speaker 1: I come up with a hundred. I think you made

639
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:30,480
Speaker 1: a mistake. But anyway, the concept I had was, you

640
00:33:30,560 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: know these flying cars. Okay, say we got one of those,

641
00:33:34,600 --> 00:33:39,120
Speaker 1: and then we have a highway that has a energy

642
00:33:39,200 --> 00:33:41,840
Speaker 1: feel like a I don't know, like a telephone line,

643
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: you know, or electric line underneath, and the flying cars

644
00:33:46,000 --> 00:33:49,520
Speaker 1: get on top of that, and of course energy comes

645
00:33:49,600 --> 00:33:53,400
Speaker 1: from the windmills, okay, just huge windmills, and it goes

646
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:56,720
Speaker 1: into the highway and you get your car, your little

647
00:33:56,840 --> 00:33:59,240
Speaker 1: air car, and you set it on that line, and

648
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:01,680
Speaker 1: then you can control it, the leave, take it, whether

649
00:34:01,720 --> 00:34:04,640
Speaker 1: you wanted, what you can actually want what you want,

650
00:34:04,920 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: and the safety devices so that they don't run into

651
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:10,239
Speaker 1: each other, and so on and so forward. Like that.

652
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,320
Speaker 1: The problem becomes, as I see it, what will happen?

653
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:21,239
Speaker 1: How will we fabricate and manufacture and support And I mean, Dave,

654
00:34:21,360 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: great comments, great concept, I get it. But we're having

655
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:28,040
Speaker 1: a problem right now just putting singular driverless cars out

656
00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:31,160
Speaker 1: on the road, getting people to accept it, funding it,

657
00:34:31,560 --> 00:34:35,000
Speaker 1: and making it in a strong enough spot where frankly

658
00:34:35,040 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 1: the government or the economy can afford it. So but um,

659
00:34:38,080 --> 00:34:40,239
Speaker 1: interesting ideas, buddy, And yeah, I think your wife is right.

660
00:34:40,280 --> 00:34:41,800
Speaker 1: I think you're right. Q is that high? This is

661
00:34:41,800 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: a real quick piece of email before we go, And

662
00:34:43,440 --> 00:34:46,160
Speaker 1: thanks for the call, Dave, I appreciate it. UM. Let's

663
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:48,640
Speaker 1: go out real quick for Walt in Hawaii. We've talked

664
00:34:48,680 --> 00:34:50,239
Speaker 1: about a couple of times in the last few weeks.

665
00:34:50,239 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: I think he's finally on the track to getting his

666
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,399
Speaker 1: corvette done. Hey, Ron, I'm looking for a good new

667
00:34:54,760 --> 00:34:57,880
Speaker 1: ignition spark tester under fifty dollars. Well, Walt, I didn't think.

668
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:00,520
Speaker 1: I didn't think you'd wanted a bad old ignition spark tester,

669
00:35:00,680 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: but a good ignition spark tester under fifty bucks. And

670
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: you make a recommendation, Walt from Hawaii. Sure, Walt from Hawaii.

671
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:08,920
Speaker 1: He won't bring me out there to do a remote

672
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:11,000
Speaker 1: and uh, let me sit on the beach like I'm

673
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,480
Speaker 1: deserving of. Um, get over to a local Oileoto parts, okay,

674
00:35:14,640 --> 00:35:16,400
Speaker 1: and tell them you want to take a look at

675
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:20,200
Speaker 1: part number five eight five. Oh, it's a spark tester.

676
00:35:20,400 --> 00:35:22,880
Speaker 1: It's a black piece of plastic with a screw thread

677
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:25,719
Speaker 1: that you can adjust the gap to any size you want.

678
00:35:25,840 --> 00:35:29,520
Speaker 1: It works really well. They're cheap, all right, And if

679
00:35:29,560 --> 00:35:30,799
Speaker 1: you don't like that. You can take a look at

680
00:35:30,840 --> 00:35:32,920
Speaker 1: anything else that the folks over to Raleota Parts will have,

681
00:35:33,000 --> 00:35:34,960
Speaker 1: but it's O Rileyota parts. Get out and look at

682
00:35:34,960 --> 00:35:37,040
Speaker 1: a five oh eight five oh and that that should

683
00:35:37,080 --> 00:35:38,879
Speaker 1: do it for you. I'm mony in the car, doctor,

684
00:35:38,880 --> 00:35:41,200
Speaker 1: because this does it for us. Good mechanics aren't expensive,

685
00:35:41,320 --> 00:35:42,520
Speaker 1: they're priceless. See you
