I 46 00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: was pleasantly surprised to see such a huge turnout and 47 00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:21,320 Speaker 1: see the fans, and you know, that's really what makes 48 00:02:21,320 --> 00:02:24,079 Speaker 1: this radio show all about. It's it's a different experience 49 00:02:24,480 --> 00:02:26,840 Speaker 1: being out in front of the crowd, behind the microphone 50 00:02:27,240 --> 00:02:28,799 Speaker 1: and UM, I was glad to see each and every 51 00:02:28,800 --> 00:02:30,440 Speaker 1: one of you that made it out there.

I've got some comments to make about it. 56 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:43,600 Speaker 1: I read a recent article in Triple A. But I 57 00:02:43,639 --> 00:02:46,000 Speaker 1: want to talk you know, as the turn of the 58 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:47,799 Speaker 1: events happened. UM, I want to tell you a little 59 00:02:47,800 --> 00:02:50,720 Speaker 1: bit about what I've been going through today this Saturday. Uh. 60 00:02:50,760 --> 00:02:54,600 Speaker 1: It's it's it's it's sort of automotive related because it's 61 00:02:54,600 --> 00:02:59,680 Speaker 1: about technology and I think you have to really address 62 00:02:59,720 --> 00:03:04,480 Speaker 1: tech anology and you know, really embrace it. Let me 63 00:03:04,520 --> 00:03:06,000 Speaker 1: go back to the middle of the week. The middle 64 00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:08,240 Speaker 1: of the week found Harry and I fast. Harry and 65 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:09,440 Speaker 1: I went off on a little bit of a road 66 00:03:09,440 --> 00:03:11,840 Speaker 1: trip on our own. We went down to a local 67 00:03:11,880 --> 00:03:13,799 Speaker 1: trade show put on by the folks for by Wise 68 00:03:13,800 --> 00:03:16,840 Speaker 1: Auto Parts here in New Jersey, big parts warehouse, uh 69 00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,760 Speaker 1: here in this part of the country, and they were 70 00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,880 Speaker 1: doing a a statewide I guess would be the best 71 00:03:22,919 --> 00:03:25,560 Speaker 1: example trade show, and we got to sit and meet 72 00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:29,000 Speaker 1: and talk to different vendors from different places. Denso was 73 00:03:29,040 --> 00:03:32,120 Speaker 1: there among them, and UM, I'm gonna tell you about 74 00:03:32,120 --> 00:03:36,040 Speaker 1: that in a quick second. But it was interesting to 75 00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:40,600 Speaker 1: see the technology and what's coming down the pike. It 76 00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:42,360 Speaker 1: also made me feel a little bit better that some 77 00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:44,240 Speaker 1: of the decisions I've made in the past two years 78 00:03:44,680 --> 00:03:48,520 Speaker 1: to alter the shops direction and instead of going more 79 00:03:48,640 --> 00:03:51,400 Speaker 1: towards nuts and bolts, which is clearly not the future, 80 00:03:51,720 --> 00:03:54,440 Speaker 1: and I'm trying to get a leap on the competition 81 00:03:54,480 --> 00:03:59,000 Speaker 1: and just run towards technology, and it was encouraging to 82 00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:02,320 Speaker 1: see that. Yeah, embracing technology is clearly the way to go. 83 00:04:03,360 --> 00:04:08,480 Speaker 1: The Denzo story before I forget um, it's amazing what 84 00:04:08,640 --> 00:04:11,440 Speaker 1: the power of connection can do when you're working with 85 00:04:11,480 --> 00:04:14,120 Speaker 1: a good parts house and and a good parts supplier 86 00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:17,239 Speaker 1: and a good company. So we're at the trade show 87 00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,839 Speaker 1: and Henry's Taurus. And I'll call him by his first 88 00:04:19,880 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 1: name because Henry listens to the show all the time 89 00:04:22,200 --> 00:04:24,640 Speaker 1: and he's been a regular customer forever and ever and ever. 90 00:04:25,040 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: And Henry, I know exactly who I'm talking about. Henry 91 00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:30,919 Speaker 1: drives among one of four cars. Henry's always driving a 92 00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:35,640 Speaker 1: bunch of different cars. A ninety four s h O Taurus. Now, 93 00:04:35,680 --> 00:04:37,920 Speaker 1: if you know anything about s h O Taurus is, 94 00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,800 Speaker 1: you know that they're they're getting rarer by the day. 95 00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: The the s h O Tauris was the Ford Performance 96 00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 1: version of a Ford Tourish. You know, they made it 97 00:04:46,680 --> 00:04:49,680 Speaker 1: into a little bit of a performance vehicle, put a 98 00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: Yamaha engine in it or a Yamaha top end, and um, 99 00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:54,800 Speaker 1: you know, they really hold they were They were really 100 00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:56,760 Speaker 1: quick little cars. Were not a little, but they were 101 00:04:56,839 --> 00:04:59,880 Speaker 1: quick cars in their time. Henry's car needs to star. 102 00:05:01,480 --> 00:05:04,120 Speaker 1: Now you would think this is a pretty easy task. 103 00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:08,239 Speaker 1: How hard could it be? Well, the problem is that 104 00:05:08,560 --> 00:05:12,000 Speaker 1: it's a little specific, being that it's a Taurus, and 105 00:05:12,400 --> 00:05:16,960 Speaker 1: no one, including Ford makes it anymore. It's obsolete. I 106 00:05:17,040 --> 00:05:19,480 Speaker 1: just happened to bump into the dense ol guy and 107 00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:21,600 Speaker 1: I forget his name at the moment. I'll look it 108 00:05:21,680 --> 00:05:24,000 Speaker 1: up later if it's that important. But as I was 109 00:05:24,040 --> 00:05:26,680 Speaker 1: standing there talking to him the Northeast Regional Sales RIP 110 00:05:27,200 --> 00:05:31,279 Speaker 1: and UM, we were having the conversation. You know, I 111 00:05:31,320 --> 00:05:33,279 Speaker 1: started explaining it to him, and you know, he knew 112 00:05:33,279 --> 00:05:35,800 Speaker 1: who I was, and and I'm I apologize for not 113 00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:37,880 Speaker 1: having his name at the tip of my tongue. But 114 00:05:38,200 --> 00:05:43,320 Speaker 1: we were having a conversation about different things and and 115 00:05:43,320 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: and how dense is growing and what they're becoming as 116 00:05:45,680 --> 00:05:48,240 Speaker 1: a company and their efforts to you know, reach across 117 00:05:48,279 --> 00:05:50,159 Speaker 1: and bring more product in and and you know, I 118 00:05:50,160 --> 00:05:52,920 Speaker 1: told him, I said, listen, then, so just does everything right. 119 00:05:52,960 --> 00:05:55,320 Speaker 1: It seems they make great product. It works, it does 120 00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,960 Speaker 1: what it's supposed to do. I said, what are the 121 00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:03,479 Speaker 1: odds that you can get or find a starter for 122 00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:07,720 Speaker 1: a ninety four showgun tourists, which nobody, including Ford, has 123 00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:10,159 Speaker 1: been able to do. He said, let me go into 124 00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:13,479 Speaker 1: the computer. He goes into the computer and lo and behold, 125 00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:17,279 Speaker 1: technology delivers and saves the day because he's able to 126 00:06:17,320 --> 00:06:20,880 Speaker 1: find a dense O starter for s h O twenty 127 00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:24,679 Speaker 1: three year old car and it's being shipped to the shop. 128 00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,279 Speaker 1: We'll have it on Monday, and it will solve Henry's 129 00:06:27,279 --> 00:06:29,080 Speaker 1: problem of having to put a starter in it because 130 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: the old one, when you turn the key, the smoke 131 00:06:31,160 --> 00:06:34,560 Speaker 1: gets out, and that's probably a bad thing. So we decided, yeah, 132 00:06:34,600 --> 00:06:37,159 Speaker 1: we'll start with a starter. And I told you that 133 00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:40,880 Speaker 1: story about technology to tell you this one. And thanks 134 00:06:40,920 --> 00:06:43,640 Speaker 1: to the folks at then so and all that they do, 135 00:06:43,680 --> 00:06:48,040 Speaker 1: because I appreciate it. So I told you that story 136 00:06:48,240 --> 00:06:51,960 Speaker 1: to tell you this one. You have to embrace technology. 137 00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,200 Speaker 1: I woke up this morning and as you know, the 138 00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:57,720 Speaker 1: the Saturday morning ritual for me is you know the 139 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: Chiropractor breakfast radio show. It's it's the Saturday routine, and 140 00:07:04,360 --> 00:07:08,920 Speaker 1: it's supposed to be a calm day in a day 141 00:07:08,920 --> 00:07:12,760 Speaker 1: of you know, when you're just trying to get into 142 00:07:12,800 --> 00:07:14,560 Speaker 1: the groove because you've got to go and do this thing. 143 00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:18,559 Speaker 1: We call the show. Around two o'clock, the Littlest Nanny 144 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,280 Speaker 1: in his home. She's Easter week home this week, and 145 00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,880 Speaker 1: I knew I was in trouble when she came up 146 00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:27,520 Speaker 1: holding her cell phone in her hand and I went, 147 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:31,840 Speaker 1: everything all right, kind of hoping, well, no, my cell 148 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:35,840 Speaker 1: phone is stuck in a boot loop. What's a boot loop? Well, 149 00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:39,960 Speaker 1: after some research online, she found out that the this 150 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:43,280 Speaker 1: particular G four cell phone has a problem where at 151 00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,440 Speaker 1: random it'll go into a boot sequence and it won't 152 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:48,560 Speaker 1: come out of it. So the phone just stays at 153 00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: the home screen and won't fix itself. Got on the 154 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,840 Speaker 1: phone with the Horizon Wireless. Now, I've got to say 155 00:07:54,880 --> 00:07:57,560 Speaker 1: they were they were pretty helpful. We appreciated their efforts. 156 00:07:57,640 --> 00:07:59,600 Speaker 1: It was we tried everything, we did a hard factory 157 00:07:59,640 --> 00:08:02,559 Speaker 1: reset it, we went through all the routine. Didn't work, 158 00:08:03,680 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: and it was about a three hour process between the 159 00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:09,120 Speaker 1: time we talked to them, got off the phone, tried this, 160 00:08:09,200 --> 00:08:12,480 Speaker 1: got back on the phone, tried that, did this, and 161 00:08:12,560 --> 00:08:15,000 Speaker 1: in the end we spoke to a woman by the 162 00:08:15,080 --> 00:08:17,600 Speaker 1: name of Christine in Willmington, North Carolina, just a little 163 00:08:17,600 --> 00:08:20,120 Speaker 1: bit ago, about a half hour an hour or so 164 00:08:20,240 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: before air today, and she made arrangements for a replacement 165 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:27,239 Speaker 1: phone to come out, and we swapped the phone number 166 00:08:27,280 --> 00:08:31,760 Speaker 1: of that phone to a to an older family phone 167 00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:34,840 Speaker 1: that we have around the house and made it work 168 00:08:35,480 --> 00:08:37,320 Speaker 1: in that she now has a cell phone so she 169 00:08:37,360 --> 00:08:40,920 Speaker 1: can travel and be safe. Because isn't it funny that 170 00:08:41,040 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: as technology brings us forward with cell phones, there's no 171 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:48,600 Speaker 1: pay phones around anymore. So you can't just say, well, 172 00:08:48,600 --> 00:08:50,800 Speaker 1: I don't need my cell phone. You know what, I'll 173 00:08:50,800 --> 00:08:52,840 Speaker 1: just use a payphone. I haven't seen a cell phone 174 00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:54,840 Speaker 1: in so long I couldn't tell you where the where 175 00:08:54,840 --> 00:09:02,160 Speaker 1: they are, And it becomes an issue. So technology, you've 176 00:09:02,200 --> 00:09:04,600 Speaker 1: got to embrace it. You've got to be ready for it. 177 00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,000 Speaker 1: You've got to expect it. You've got to be like Denso. 178 00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,679 Speaker 1: Denso expects that as technology changes, they kind of keep 179 00:09:10,679 --> 00:09:14,360 Speaker 1: things the same, right, you know. They they make parts 180 00:09:14,400 --> 00:09:19,040 Speaker 1: available for older vehicles, they make parts available for newer vehicles. Verizon, 181 00:09:19,200 --> 00:09:21,480 Speaker 1: they've got a plan built into the phone so that 182 00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:24,760 Speaker 1: when the phone goes bad, they talked to the manufacturer, 183 00:09:24,880 --> 00:09:26,880 Speaker 1: you know LG. In this case. LG's got a plan 184 00:09:27,400 --> 00:09:30,120 Speaker 1: so that they can do a factory data reset to 185 00:09:30,200 --> 00:09:33,760 Speaker 1: help restore the phone back to functionality or as best 186 00:09:33,760 --> 00:09:36,079 Speaker 1: as it can barring a hardware failure, which is I 187 00:09:36,120 --> 00:09:40,880 Speaker 1: think what this phone suffered you, the consumer. You've got 188 00:09:40,880 --> 00:09:43,920 Speaker 1: to embrace technology because you've got to make sure you 189 00:09:43,920 --> 00:09:45,880 Speaker 1: find a mechanic that understands, first of all, how to 190 00:09:45,920 --> 00:09:48,920 Speaker 1: spell it, and second of all how to understand it, 191 00:09:49,440 --> 00:09:52,920 Speaker 1: and and and work with it. Someone once said to 192 00:09:52,920 --> 00:09:54,880 Speaker 1: me the other day they were watching me work. She 193 00:09:54,920 --> 00:09:57,760 Speaker 1: had stopped by the shop and Jackie said to me, 194 00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:00,640 Speaker 1: She said, how come you work and you so calm? 195 00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:02,280 Speaker 1: And I said, well, not all the time, I said, 196 00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,280 Speaker 1: but most of the time. She goes, Yeah, she goes, 197 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,640 Speaker 1: you don't really get upset that much. And I said, 198 00:10:06,679 --> 00:10:08,320 Speaker 1: you know why, jack because at the end of the day, 199 00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: I know I'm still gonna have that broken car in 200 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,160 Speaker 1: front of me, and I've got to fix it. And 201 00:10:12,160 --> 00:10:14,520 Speaker 1: that's part of what dealing with technology is all about. 202 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,680 Speaker 1: And that's really what Verizon did today. They just kind 203 00:10:19,679 --> 00:10:21,880 Speaker 1: of helped us work our way through it. And that's 204 00:10:21,880 --> 00:10:24,520 Speaker 1: what Denso did last week. They just kind of helped 205 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,600 Speaker 1: us work our way through it. And that's what you 206 00:10:26,640 --> 00:10:30,560 Speaker 1: need to do. Is frustrating as it is, technology is 207 00:10:30,600 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: here to stay and only get bigger in time. Hello 208 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,880 Speaker 1: and welcome ron Andy in the car. Docorate your service 209 00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:40,800 Speaker 1: at zo N zero. If you've got an automotive technology 210 00:10:40,880 --> 00:10:44,080 Speaker 1: question or anything else. I'll return right after this to 211 00:10:44,080 --> 00:10:45,800 Speaker 1: open the garage doors and talk to you about it. 212 00:10:45,920 --> 00:11:17,520 Speaker 1: Give us a call. Don't go away, Hey, welcome back. 213 00:11:17,559 --> 00:11:19,240 Speaker 1: Why don't any of the car doctor. As we roll 214 00:11:19,280 --> 00:11:21,640 Speaker 1: along this hour, let's kick open the garage doors. Harry, 215 00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:24,520 Speaker 1: whore on whom do you have for me? As we 216 00:11:24,559 --> 00:11:27,679 Speaker 1: opened the garage doors this hour? We have Steve in 217 00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:32,480 Speaker 1: Baton Rouge, Louisiana. He's got a jeep Wrangler with a 218 00:11:32,559 --> 00:11:35,520 Speaker 1: hundred and six thousand mills and he's having starting issues 219 00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:38,640 Speaker 1: just broken in. Steve. Welcome to the car doctor, Thanks Harry. Steve, 220 00:11:38,679 --> 00:11:41,640 Speaker 1: Welcome to the car doctor, sir. How can I help? Ryan? 221 00:11:41,720 --> 00:11:44,640 Speaker 1: Thanks for taking the call. You're welcome. What's going on? So? 222 00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:51,160 Speaker 1: So I got this jee runs really good, and um, 223 00:11:52,040 --> 00:11:57,559 Speaker 1: I'm just having some problems when I, uh, Steve is 224 00:11:57,600 --> 00:12:01,200 Speaker 1: this is this a four leader? By the way, which 225 00:12:01,200 --> 00:12:08,000 Speaker 1: engine is in this jeep? Steve? Oh Steve? What happened 226 00:12:08,000 --> 00:12:12,160 Speaker 1: to Steve? Oh yeah, there you go, Steve. Yeah, you're right, 227 00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:14,720 Speaker 1: you're right, Yeah, yeah, yeah. I'm just getting a little 228 00:12:14,720 --> 00:12:16,720 Speaker 1: bit of static and I thought I might have lost 229 00:12:16,720 --> 00:12:20,559 Speaker 1: the call. Yeah, um what what? What engines in this jeep? Steve? 230 00:12:21,120 --> 00:12:25,840 Speaker 1: It's got that four lead straight six? So you know, 231 00:12:25,880 --> 00:12:29,320 Speaker 1: when I, uh, I don't drive it every day when 232 00:12:29,320 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: it sits so after I've driven it for an hour 233 00:12:32,600 --> 00:12:35,880 Speaker 1: or two or whether it sits for a week, has 234 00:12:35,920 --> 00:12:40,040 Speaker 1: a hard time catch and get started. Um, you know, 235 00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,840 Speaker 1: I gotta sit there and pump the gas pedal. It's 236 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:46,560 Speaker 1: like the engine is not getting any any gas, so 237 00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:50,480 Speaker 1: it would be it would be extended crank time. Yeah, 238 00:12:50,679 --> 00:12:54,280 Speaker 1: long crank time. Now, this is a throttle body port 239 00:12:54,320 --> 00:12:58,680 Speaker 1: fuel injected car, right, this this has a singular throttle 240 00:12:58,760 --> 00:13:02,839 Speaker 1: body for are opening and it has I'm trying to 241 00:13:02,840 --> 00:13:07,520 Speaker 1: remember the configuration six injectors, one per cylinder. I believe so, 242 00:13:07,559 --> 00:13:10,440 Speaker 1: but I can't attest to that, right, I believe that's 243 00:13:10,440 --> 00:13:14,120 Speaker 1: what this is back in. So you know, flopping the 244 00:13:14,160 --> 00:13:17,400 Speaker 1: throttle plate really shouldn't do anything, has no bearing on 245 00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:21,079 Speaker 1: it whatsoever. So now we've got to work does that 246 00:13:21,240 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: really help or is that just your imagination and all 247 00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,640 Speaker 1: you're doing is just cranking it long enough that it 248 00:13:26,720 --> 00:13:31,640 Speaker 1: finally catches for some other reason. Um, I don't I 249 00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:33,280 Speaker 1: know the answer to that. I'll have to give it 250 00:13:33,320 --> 00:13:35,400 Speaker 1: a try, right, You've got to, you know, because it's 251 00:13:35,720 --> 00:13:39,400 Speaker 1: it's basically that's just a mechanical flap the throttle plate, 252 00:13:40,640 --> 00:13:43,560 Speaker 1: and all that's doing is just as you open up 253 00:13:43,600 --> 00:13:47,160 Speaker 1: the throttle plate, a sensor reports throttle angle. The computer 254 00:13:47,240 --> 00:13:50,160 Speaker 1: takes that into as far as for calculation. This is 255 00:13:50,160 --> 00:13:53,320 Speaker 1: a map sensor vehicle. There's no mass airflow sensor here. 256 00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,559 Speaker 1: It's looking at manifold vacuum to help calculate as part 257 00:13:56,559 --> 00:14:00,800 Speaker 1: of the calculation for fuel delivery. And it really has 258 00:14:00,800 --> 00:14:03,719 Speaker 1: no bearing so pumping the pedal per se, you know, 259 00:14:03,760 --> 00:14:05,959 Speaker 1: And that's what we were taught. You know, you can 260 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:07,920 Speaker 1: sort of you know, see the age of the person 261 00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,360 Speaker 1: driving the car. And I'm right there with you, um, 262 00:14:10,920 --> 00:14:13,480 Speaker 1: you know us older guys. Yeah, that was the first instinct. 263 00:14:13,559 --> 00:14:16,400 Speaker 1: It's a carburetor hit the pedal, man, but it's it's 264 00:14:16,440 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: not it. Let's look at and talk about do you 265 00:14:19,600 --> 00:14:22,320 Speaker 1: have the ability to just take a fuel pressure check? 266 00:14:24,120 --> 00:14:27,440 Speaker 1: I do not? Okay, Um, spend a couple of bucks 267 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:30,600 Speaker 1: you like tinkering with the car, Steve a little bit? Yeah, 268 00:14:30,640 --> 00:14:32,360 Speaker 1: you know what by a fuel pressure gage said? They're 269 00:14:32,440 --> 00:14:35,320 Speaker 1: under a hunter bucks. You know you'll they make some 270 00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 1: they make some different ends and different adapters. You know, 271 00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:41,600 Speaker 1: if if you've got do you have an O'raillyota parts 272 00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:45,720 Speaker 1: around you somewhere? Uh? Yes, there's one in town. Yeah, 273 00:14:45,720 --> 00:14:48,560 Speaker 1: you get overton Oraillyota parts. They've got a good selection 274 00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:50,840 Speaker 1: of tools. You can find what you need there. You 275 00:14:50,840 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: can also talk to the guys and say, hey, what works. 276 00:14:53,080 --> 00:14:55,000 Speaker 1: Tell them you looking for a fuel pressure gage, because 277 00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:58,600 Speaker 1: the first thing I'm gonna tell you is that it's 278 00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,280 Speaker 1: an easy enough thing to do. Of the Strader port 279 00:15:01,480 --> 00:15:03,480 Speaker 1: is right up on the front of the rail. You'll 280 00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:06,840 Speaker 1: see a screw on cap looks like an A C 281 00:15:07,040 --> 00:15:09,360 Speaker 1: service cap, but it's attached to the fuel rail with 282 00:15:09,440 --> 00:15:12,520 Speaker 1: the engine off. Unscrew that, you'll see a Strader valve there. 283 00:15:13,080 --> 00:15:15,880 Speaker 1: You can just hook the fuel pressure gauge to it, 284 00:15:16,280 --> 00:15:19,920 Speaker 1: turn the key to the omposition where's fuel pressure, and 285 00:15:19,960 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: then once you get the once, once you get the 286 00:15:21,880 --> 00:15:26,280 Speaker 1: car running, then it's real easy to do a fuel 287 00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:30,160 Speaker 1: sample and volume test if you and the joke around 288 00:15:30,200 --> 00:15:32,600 Speaker 1: here has been for the longest times. You know, Ron 289 00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:35,600 Speaker 1: likes snap Will. Actually I never drink it because I'm 290 00:15:35,640 --> 00:15:37,440 Speaker 1: just not a snap all guy. But I love the 291 00:15:37,480 --> 00:15:41,240 Speaker 1: Snapple bottles. They're clear, they're the right size. If you 292 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: take an empty Snapple bottle and put the pressure relief 293 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:47,680 Speaker 1: line from the pressure gauge into the bottle. On an 294 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 1: older car like that, the fuel volume it should actually 295 00:15:52,360 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 1: if you hold down the return with the engine running, 296 00:15:54,600 --> 00:15:57,680 Speaker 1: fuel pressure should fill that Snapple bottle and just under 297 00:15:57,720 --> 00:16:01,360 Speaker 1: twenty five seconds. That's it's, it's it's it's around a 298 00:16:01,400 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 1: point and it's just about right. So if if, if 299 00:16:04,520 --> 00:16:07,080 Speaker 1: it does that volume is good. If pressure is good, 300 00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,720 Speaker 1: pressure is good. You can also take a fuel sample, 301 00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:14,320 Speaker 1: see what cleanliness is and we're good. We know fuel 302 00:16:14,400 --> 00:16:18,200 Speaker 1: is out of the picture, and the pressure, the fuel 303 00:16:18,200 --> 00:16:21,240 Speaker 1: pressure be if memory serves me correcting. If you email me, 304 00:16:21,240 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 1: I'll give you an exact number. I believe you're gonna 305 00:16:23,000 --> 00:16:26,000 Speaker 1: see thirty five to forty two pounds engine running, and 306 00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:27,560 Speaker 1: if you pull the regulator of if it'll go up 307 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,600 Speaker 1: about five six pounds. But if you send me an 308 00:16:29,600 --> 00:16:31,760 Speaker 1: email Ront at card Doctor show dot com, I'll make 309 00:16:31,800 --> 00:16:35,480 Speaker 1: sure I get you the exact spec. Somewhere around eighty 310 00:16:35,560 --> 00:16:39,040 Speaker 1: eight through two, I saw some different numbers that worked. 311 00:16:39,600 --> 00:16:43,880 Speaker 1: But my point is sometimes testing something as simple as 312 00:16:43,880 --> 00:16:47,080 Speaker 1: fuel pressure even though and people will say to me, yeah, 313 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:48,640 Speaker 1: but I don't see how it could be fuel pressure. 314 00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,080 Speaker 1: Let's eliminate it. What I just described to you is 315 00:16:52,120 --> 00:16:55,920 Speaker 1: at best a seven minute test. Started up, Hook it up, 316 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 1: Read the gauge, dump the fuel, read the bottle. You're 317 00:17:00,080 --> 00:17:02,040 Speaker 1: on and then you can kind of cross it off 318 00:17:02,080 --> 00:17:06,159 Speaker 1: your list. All right, So on the assumption that fuel 319 00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: pressure is good, Stevie, the next thing I'm gonna tell 320 00:17:09,640 --> 00:17:12,200 Speaker 1: you is this car should have a distributor. Correct spark 321 00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:20,119 Speaker 1: plug wires and old school stuff. Steve, Oh, we lost, Steve. 322 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:22,360 Speaker 1: Let me answer the question the way I would have 323 00:17:22,600 --> 00:17:25,080 Speaker 1: This should have a distributor, Steve. Al right, on the 324 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,359 Speaker 1: chance that you're still there in your phone dot, I 325 00:17:27,400 --> 00:17:30,520 Speaker 1: know you're having phone problems. So my next question is, 326 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: bring the crank, bring the engine around the top dead center, 327 00:17:34,160 --> 00:17:37,480 Speaker 1: and make number one, make sure you're on the compression stroke, 328 00:17:38,359 --> 00:17:42,560 Speaker 1: and pull the distributor cap off. Does the rotor line 329 00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:46,800 Speaker 1: up with the contact for number one spark plug wire? 330 00:17:47,359 --> 00:17:50,879 Speaker 1: It should be. It should be that the rotor is 331 00:17:51,200 --> 00:17:56,320 Speaker 1: just leaving the number one tower of the distributor cap. 332 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:58,720 Speaker 1: And and sometimes you know what, you're driving an older 333 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:00,960 Speaker 1: vehicle like this. They're cheap enough, go buy a and 334 00:18:00,960 --> 00:18:03,720 Speaker 1: and here's one good thing to do with Chinese parts, alright, 335 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:06,720 Speaker 1: cheaper parts is cut up. Get an old distributor cap 336 00:18:06,760 --> 00:18:08,159 Speaker 1: and cut it up. Cut it up so you have 337 00:18:08,160 --> 00:18:11,240 Speaker 1: a window. So as you bring that rotor around, you'll 338 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:15,399 Speaker 1: see what position it has right under that contact. Is 339 00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:19,080 Speaker 1: it lined up? The trailing edge of that distributor, of 340 00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:22,600 Speaker 1: that rotor should be lined up just leaving number one tower. 341 00:18:22,880 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: If it's lined up correctly. If it's not, this is 342 00:18:25,720 --> 00:18:30,000 Speaker 1: a pinned distributor and you're going to have to modify 343 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,639 Speaker 1: the base in order to h move it a little bit. 344 00:18:32,680 --> 00:18:35,760 Speaker 1: And that may help your starting problem as well, because 345 00:18:35,800 --> 00:18:38,720 Speaker 1: things change timing, change, stretch and other issues. So do 346 00:18:38,760 --> 00:18:41,280 Speaker 1: those two things, the fuel and the ignition, and we'll 347 00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,639 Speaker 1: go from there. Any in the car Doctor, I'll be 348 00:18:43,680 --> 00:19:02,000 Speaker 1: back right after this. Can hey, welcome back? An name 349 00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:05,560 Speaker 1: the car doctor. Interesting article in uh in a recent 350 00:19:05,600 --> 00:19:07,680 Speaker 1: magazine Triple A was putting out. They were talking about 351 00:19:07,720 --> 00:19:10,480 Speaker 1: motor oil myths and um things that were going on 352 00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: as as far as what the myths are. And one 353 00:19:14,000 --> 00:19:17,200 Speaker 1: of the things is wait a minute, uh, hang on 354 00:19:17,320 --> 00:19:19,760 Speaker 1: in the folks, I'm sorry, Tom, what's that? What's that noise? 355 00:19:19,840 --> 00:19:21,760 Speaker 1: Is there a truck backing up to the studio? Yes, 356 00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,200 Speaker 1: there's a truck backing up to the studio. You know 357 00:19:23,200 --> 00:19:24,960 Speaker 1: when you ordered t shirts a couple of weeks ago, 358 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,320 Speaker 1: did you order? How many did you order? Well? I 359 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:30,560 Speaker 1: ordered a hundred. I think the zero key on your 360 00:19:30,600 --> 00:19:32,600 Speaker 1: keyboard stuff. Because the guy said he has ten thousand 361 00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:36,160 Speaker 1: in the truck, ten thousand T shirts. We ordered ten 362 00:19:36,240 --> 00:19:42,399 Speaker 1: thousands stuff. Well, where's Harry? Did Harry leave the room? 363 00:19:42,480 --> 00:19:43,920 Speaker 1: Can I blame him? Come on, I'm in the middle 364 00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:45,320 Speaker 1: of the show here. What's I don't think I don't 365 00:19:45,320 --> 00:19:47,359 Speaker 1: think you can blame Harry. Harry says he had nothing 366 00:19:47,359 --> 00:19:50,600 Speaker 1: to do with this. So, so what's the deal that 367 00:19:50,680 --> 00:19:53,240 Speaker 1: we've got ten thousand T shirts and a truck outside? Yeah, 368 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:56,000 Speaker 1: it was out of garage sales. Well thanks, Harry, you 369 00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:59,879 Speaker 1: really know me and garage sales.

Harry, you and Tom are in charge 410 00:21:51,160 --> 00:21:54,439 Speaker 1: of that.

So 413 00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:00,080 Speaker 1: because maybe we'll change the rules, I think I just 414 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:03,560 Speaker 1: put them all on eBay. So ten thousand card doctor 415 00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:05,760 Speaker 1: t shirts on eBay, I don't think so. So we're 416 00:22:05,760 --> 00:22:10,240 Speaker 1: gonna give away one per hour every week for the 417 00:22:10,280 --> 00:22:12,520 Speaker 1: rest of the year. That works works for me, he's 418 00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:14,680 Speaker 1: work for you, Tony for the rest of the year. 419 00:22:14,760 --> 00:22:17,400 Speaker 1: Of course, that's more than ten that's not quite ten thousand. 420 00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:19,640 Speaker 1: But we'll be doing some remotes coming up. We'll find 421 00:22:19,640 --> 00:22:21,800 Speaker 1: other ways to get doing that. And you know, quite frankly, 422 00:22:21,840 --> 00:22:25,919 Speaker 1: I've got furniture to polished. So hey, okay, can I 423 00:22:25,920 --> 00:22:28,840 Speaker 1: get back to questions now? I mean yes, yes, okay, 424 00:22:28,920 --> 00:22:30,959 Speaker 1: Well we'll post some official information out on the Car 425 00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,719 Speaker 1: Doctor Facebook page.

And sometimes I may have to talk 429 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:45,520 Speaker 1: to you directly depending upon the question. And um, we'll 430 00:22:45,520 --> 00:22:47,359 Speaker 1: send you out a Car Doctor T shirt. Let's get 431 00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:48,560 Speaker 1: over and back to the phone to go over to 432 00:22:48,640 --> 00:22:51,840 Speaker 1: Chuck in Texas. Oh four jeep grant Cherokee, Charles. Welcome 433 00:22:51,880 --> 00:22:53,960 Speaker 1: to the Car Doctor, Sir.

And 436 00:22:58,960 --> 00:23:02,800 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, okay, never late, never dollar short. But you 437 00:23:02,840 --> 00:23:05,040 Speaker 1: get out to Facebook like I send somebmit a question. 438 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:09,120 Speaker 1: You're in the game, all right, brother? Here in my situation, good, 439 00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,080 Speaker 1: I inherited a whole four deep grand Cherokee from a 440 00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:17,119 Speaker 1: sister and it hasn't been driven over a year. The 441 00:23:17,200 --> 00:23:19,920 Speaker 1: history shows that when the car was on the road 442 00:23:20,040 --> 00:23:22,800 Speaker 1: it did have a check engine life. Now that it 443 00:23:22,960 --> 00:23:25,760 Speaker 1: is my possession, I didn't get my nose into it, 444 00:23:25,800 --> 00:23:28,240 Speaker 1: and I came up as I scanned it with four 445 00:23:28,320 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: codes three and M are related to each other, and 446 00:23:31,640 --> 00:23:35,160 Speaker 1: one is not. Alright, three the three that are related 447 00:23:35,200 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: to each other, I'll have to do with O two sensors. 448 00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:42,120 Speaker 1: It's a no thirty one and one and one six, 449 00:23:42,560 --> 00:23:45,720 Speaker 1: all right. That stakes to me that it's a shorter 450 00:23:45,800 --> 00:23:50,760 Speaker 1: condition and the element control wire. Yeah, but let me 451 00:23:51,000 --> 00:23:53,119 Speaker 1: let me ask you this, chuck, are you are you 452 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:57,240 Speaker 1: looking at? Was the battery dead? I don't understand how 453 00:23:57,359 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: was it was? This? Are these codes that just appeared 454 00:23:59,800 --> 00:24:02,440 Speaker 1: recently after you brought it back to life? Or you're 455 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:05,920 Speaker 1: going off of old history from a year ago. No, 456 00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: I'm going off of something that appeared after a change 457 00:24:09,080 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: of the battery. Okay, all right? They are? They are 458 00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:19,840 Speaker 1: are the hard fault? Is this the four it's the 459 00:24:19,880 --> 00:24:26,400 Speaker 1: four US? All right? So my history tells me that, um, 460 00:24:26,400 --> 00:24:29,040 Speaker 1: this is a common problem with this year make model, 461 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:32,880 Speaker 1: with this sensor wire being shorty right and the core 462 00:24:32,920 --> 00:24:37,960 Speaker 1: what again? I'm sorry? P zero Okay? They are a 463 00:24:38,040 --> 00:24:41,520 Speaker 1: P zero zero three one, P zero zero five one 464 00:24:42,480 --> 00:24:45,760 Speaker 1: zero one three six, And I think they're all in 465 00:24:45,880 --> 00:24:49,680 Speaker 1: common because they all show, as they explains, shorter conditions 466 00:24:49,760 --> 00:24:54,960 Speaker 1: detected in the heater element wiring. Okay, so I understand 467 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:58,720 Speaker 1: talking to my boys at O'Reilly's, that this particular vehicle, 468 00:24:58,800 --> 00:25:03,360 Speaker 1: this era as a condition where the undercarried wiring does 469 00:25:03,480 --> 00:25:08,520 Speaker 1: create a short because they're strapped tighter than Dick's headbane. So, UM, 470 00:25:08,600 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 1: I guess my question to you is, then I'll get 471 00:25:10,640 --> 00:25:14,240 Speaker 1: to the other. Oh, the other um computer error is 472 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,320 Speaker 1: I replaced all three d though two centers. When I 473 00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,600 Speaker 1: saw the faults, I drove for a hundred fifty miles 474 00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:24,119 Speaker 1: and noticed no check engine life coming back on. I 475 00:25:24,200 --> 00:25:28,840 Speaker 1: rescanned the computer again after that, and the arrow codes returned, however, 476 00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:33,200 Speaker 1: with no chickens and like this time. So my guess 477 00:25:33,320 --> 00:25:36,360 Speaker 1: is one, I need to know what circuitus is on, 478 00:25:36,800 --> 00:25:39,040 Speaker 1: and then my best to and take the fuse out 479 00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:42,200 Speaker 1: and put like an eleven fifty seven bulb in its place, 480 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:43,920 Speaker 1: and when the bulb goes out, I know I found 481 00:25:43,920 --> 00:25:49,959 Speaker 1: the short. Let's back up a second. Sure you've got 482 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:55,320 Speaker 1: three codes and pending. They haven't said hard yet, right, 483 00:25:55,359 --> 00:25:59,080 Speaker 1: that's what we just said, right, Okay, So if you 484 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,920 Speaker 1: take fuse is if you look at a few sixteen 485 00:26:01,960 --> 00:26:06,120 Speaker 1: in the power distribution center and it tells me that's 486 00:26:06,160 --> 00:26:11,879 Speaker 1: my right headlight. Well, few sixteen should be power for 487 00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:17,040 Speaker 1: the O two's as well as the right headlight. What's 488 00:26:17,080 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: telling what's telling you that? Now? What's telling you that 489 00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:24,199 Speaker 1: the fuse panel and the ledger on the cover of 490 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:28,360 Speaker 1: the fuse box in under the driver's side dashboard. That's 491 00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,000 Speaker 1: what it said. No, I believe the power distribution. I 492 00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:35,640 Speaker 1: believe that fuses out under the hood. It's under the hood. 493 00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:41,639 Speaker 1: I believes headlights right, So be sure you're in the 494 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:45,040 Speaker 1: right box. But I would be looking. I The first 495 00:26:45,080 --> 00:26:46,920 Speaker 1: thing I would do is you have a wiring diagram 496 00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:50,160 Speaker 1: for this circuit, Chuck, No, I can download one. Okay, 497 00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,320 Speaker 1: download a circuit, and let's start making sure of where 498 00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:56,760 Speaker 1: we're testing and what we're testing. But a few sixteen 499 00:26:56,840 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: in the in the PDC, which is under the hood 500 00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:04,040 Speaker 1: on that vehicle, is what's going to control this? All right? Um, 501 00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 1: I'd be curious. I don't think the fuse is blown. Well, 502 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,239 Speaker 1: then again, maybe the fuse is blown because you've been 503 00:27:09,240 --> 00:27:11,440 Speaker 1: looking at the wrong fuse. A few sixteen is under 504 00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,040 Speaker 1: the hood like I believe it is, and the fuse 505 00:27:13,160 --> 00:27:16,280 Speaker 1: is blown, then I would tell you put a new 506 00:27:16,320 --> 00:27:19,200 Speaker 1: fuse in, unplug all the old two's, and plug them 507 00:27:19,200 --> 00:27:21,760 Speaker 1: in one at a time, see which one blows the fuse, 508 00:27:23,160 --> 00:27:25,320 Speaker 1: or if you want to get fancy and use a 509 00:27:25,359 --> 00:27:29,200 Speaker 1: resettable circuit breaker, whatever your heart desires. At least then 510 00:27:29,240 --> 00:27:32,040 Speaker 1: you know which circuit is causing the short or which 511 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:34,640 Speaker 1: sensor is causing the short. Even though they're new, new 512 00:27:34,720 --> 00:27:37,960 Speaker 1: doesn't mean good, YadA yadda ya. All right, Well, yeah 513 00:27:38,040 --> 00:27:40,919 Speaker 1: I do. But what I'm saying is, as as an 514 00:27:41,160 --> 00:27:44,159 Speaker 1: electrician my trade, I know that in place of the 515 00:27:44,280 --> 00:27:46,879 Speaker 1: fuse you can put a filament such as a light bulb, 516 00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:48,960 Speaker 1: and when a light bulb goes out, you know you've 517 00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,920 Speaker 1: cleared your short. Yeah, and you can do that too. Um, 518 00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:53,679 Speaker 1: you can do that too. Like I said, however, you 519 00:27:53,720 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 1: want to know when the circuit status has changed. That's 520 00:27:57,160 --> 00:28:00,760 Speaker 1: fine now, my guests, My final answer on this issue 521 00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:03,399 Speaker 1: is do you know of such a history with this 522 00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,600 Speaker 1: particular vehicle and era having such a problem. Yeah, they 523 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:11,480 Speaker 1: do have. They do have wiring harness issues. Um. Usually 524 00:28:11,760 --> 00:28:14,800 Speaker 1: usually it's well, it depends I've seen it. I've seen 525 00:28:14,840 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 1: it in all of them. That's why I say you 526 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,080 Speaker 1: have to go through all three or four censors, depending 527 00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:24,080 Speaker 1: upon what it has. UM. Usually it's the rear road too, 528 00:28:24,520 --> 00:28:27,480 Speaker 1: either melted on the exhaust pipe or the rubs. One 529 00:28:27,520 --> 00:28:30,119 Speaker 1: of them rubs the wire on the cylinder head in 530 00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:33,359 Speaker 1: the left rear corner. Okay, all right, so take a 531 00:28:33,400 --> 00:28:35,640 Speaker 1: look at those because the way the harnesses are brought 532 00:28:35,720 --> 00:28:38,520 Speaker 1: up and around. Okay, awesome, I can do that. So 533 00:28:38,600 --> 00:28:42,280 Speaker 1: my last issue was air codes is a seventeen fifty 534 00:28:42,360 --> 00:28:45,440 Speaker 1: six which tells me the government pressure is not at 535 00:28:45,440 --> 00:28:50,960 Speaker 1: fifteen to right. That's inside. That's this is a transpault. Now, yes, sir. 536 00:28:51,120 --> 00:28:54,400 Speaker 1: So what I see in the issue, the drives fine. 537 00:28:54,840 --> 00:28:57,640 Speaker 1: It seems to shift fine. In said, when I come 538 00:28:57,640 --> 00:29:01,440 Speaker 1: now to a traffic light and sit, it'll finally sunk 539 00:29:01,520 --> 00:29:04,040 Speaker 1: in the first gear. Sunk is that a word? But anyway, 540 00:29:04,400 --> 00:29:06,960 Speaker 1: it'll finally sunk back down into first gear, maybe after 541 00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:09,239 Speaker 1: about ten seconds of the city. All right, I'll tell 542 00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,160 Speaker 1: you what chuck. Sit tight. We ran a little long. 543 00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,040 Speaker 1: Let me pull over, take a pause. We'll come back 544 00:29:13,080 --> 00:29:14,760 Speaker 1: to you right after this. M. Mornini and the car 545 00:29:14,840 --> 00:29:43,920 Speaker 1: Doctor don't go away and that was problem. Welcome back 546 00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:48,360 Speaker 1: the car doctorates by five six zero seven number. Give 547 00:29:48,440 --> 00:29:50,080 Speaker 1: us a call, leave a message. If we're not on 548 00:29:50,120 --> 00:29:52,080 Speaker 1: the ear and fast Harry, we'll call you back. We're 549 00:29:52,080 --> 00:29:54,040 Speaker 1: on the line with Chuck and Katie Texas. Chuck, you're 550 00:29:54,040 --> 00:29:58,200 Speaker 1: still there dealing with the seventeen fifty six, which is 551 00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:02,080 Speaker 1: governor pressure control issues on this Oh four, geep, Grand Cherokee. 552 00:30:02,600 --> 00:30:07,440 Speaker 1: So you've done what to diagnose it? Now? Actually I've 553 00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:12,600 Speaker 1: I believe you like I do religion. But I've learned 554 00:30:12,600 --> 00:30:15,680 Speaker 1: a lot through YouTube and I actually see this guy 555 00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,040 Speaker 1: do it, and to me, it looks like the pizza cake. 556 00:30:18,160 --> 00:30:20,760 Speaker 1: It's just the solenoid mounted on a plate at the 557 00:30:20,760 --> 00:30:23,760 Speaker 1: bottom of the transmission behind the filter, and it's sending 558 00:30:23,840 --> 00:30:27,400 Speaker 1: unit and selnoid swap out. Yep. If you can drop 559 00:30:27,400 --> 00:30:31,000 Speaker 1: a transpen and remove a filter, you should be coordinated 560 00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,880 Speaker 1: enough to change the solenoid. Just just keep in mind 561 00:30:34,520 --> 00:30:37,600 Speaker 1: that it's not an uncommon practice to change both the 562 00:30:37,640 --> 00:30:40,840 Speaker 1: solenoid and the pressure center at the same time. Correct. 563 00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,800 Speaker 1: I will do so, But I guess my last question wrong. 564 00:30:43,880 --> 00:30:45,520 Speaker 1: I'll let you go, and you've been great and taking 565 00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:49,000 Speaker 1: my call is did when this issue with the two centers? 566 00:30:49,120 --> 00:30:54,120 Speaker 1: Is there something that can cause for fuel economy? Oh? Absolutely, okay, 567 00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:56,840 Speaker 1: because I noticed the same kind of stuck like milkshakes 568 00:30:56,920 --> 00:30:59,520 Speaker 1: and I think it's only getting about fifteen miles of 569 00:30:59,560 --> 00:31:01,959 Speaker 1: the game. Well, I don't know that it's gonna get 570 00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:03,800 Speaker 1: a whole lot better than that, chuck, But you've got 571 00:31:03,920 --> 00:31:07,719 Speaker 1: enough drive ability stuff going on here that until you 572 00:31:07,800 --> 00:31:11,280 Speaker 1: get it resolved, until all the monitors have run, until 573 00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:14,240 Speaker 1: you know, no more fault codes, until the trans is 574 00:31:14,280 --> 00:31:17,160 Speaker 1: operating properly, I wouldn't even be I wouldn't even be 575 00:31:17,240 --> 00:31:20,440 Speaker 1: thinking about, you know, fuel economy for that matter. I 576 00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,120 Speaker 1: really wouldn't be driving it that much until it was 577 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: all resolved because you could be hurting something long term. 578 00:31:27,960 --> 00:31:30,000 Speaker 1: So I would say, you know, let's take it one 579 00:31:30,000 --> 00:31:32,040 Speaker 1: step at a time, and then just as a follow up, 580 00:31:32,160 --> 00:31:34,640 Speaker 1: I haven't had the experience directly, but it's been a 581 00:31:34,640 --> 00:31:37,120 Speaker 1: while since I've looked at a wiring diagram for this 582 00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 1: particular problem. I don't think there is, but I wonder 583 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: if there's a connection between the O twos and the 584 00:31:42,560 --> 00:31:46,160 Speaker 1: and the governor control. You know, Chrysler runs a lot 585 00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:50,800 Speaker 1: of um redundant five vault grounds I'm sorry, five vault 586 00:31:50,880 --> 00:31:55,320 Speaker 1: feeds power, So you know, is there anything that's powering 587 00:31:55,400 --> 00:31:57,600 Speaker 1: up any of the O two is involved in governor 588 00:31:57,640 --> 00:32:01,760 Speaker 1: pressure control? Probably not, but just to be safe, I 589 00:32:01,760 --> 00:32:03,880 Speaker 1: would look at a wiring diagram and and and just 590 00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:08,600 Speaker 1: you know, see where I'm going today today more than ever, 591 00:32:09,600 --> 00:32:14,000 Speaker 1: Go ahead, go ahead. You start like it's causing it 592 00:32:14,080 --> 00:32:17,000 Speaker 1: to start voltage for the governor pressure, Well, it could 593 00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:18,680 Speaker 1: be doing that. It could be doing a lot of things. 594 00:32:18,760 --> 00:32:21,160 Speaker 1: For for the way this is reacting. You know, you've 595 00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 1: got to fix. Fix what's broken, go onto the next thing, 596 00:32:23,840 --> 00:32:27,000 Speaker 1: I guess is my point. And you know, one of 597 00:32:27,040 --> 00:32:29,320 Speaker 1: the things I've seen over the years, I've seen Chrysler 598 00:32:29,360 --> 00:32:32,520 Speaker 1: do some very strange things with regards to wiring. And 599 00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:36,760 Speaker 1: Chrysler like all manufacturers today, you know what, I've got 600 00:32:36,760 --> 00:32:40,040 Speaker 1: a wiring problem. If you were to stop by the shop, 601 00:32:40,080 --> 00:32:42,400 Speaker 1: you'll see on my work bench, you know there's an 602 00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 1: open spot. I sit down or I'll stand. I print 603 00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:48,400 Speaker 1: out all the wiring diagrams. I've got colored markers. I 604 00:32:48,440 --> 00:32:51,600 Speaker 1: start this circuit, this circuit, this circuit, all X out 605 00:32:51,640 --> 00:32:54,040 Speaker 1: the ones I don't care about, but you know, tries 606 00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:55,880 Speaker 1: to narrow it down into the portion of the car 607 00:32:55,920 --> 00:32:58,240 Speaker 1: I'm working on, and it helps me eliminate and a 608 00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:01,760 Speaker 1: lot of times I found, you know, to dissimilar codes 609 00:33:01,800 --> 00:33:04,920 Speaker 1: that weren't dissimilar all of a sudden, they kind of 610 00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,800 Speaker 1: make sense on the wiring diagram wiring diagrams with the 611 00:33:07,920 --> 00:33:10,480 Speaker 1: roadmap of what's going on with that vehicle near the 612 00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:15,560 Speaker 1: way of the future. All right, kid, So that's the story, Chuck. 613 00:33:15,560 --> 00:33:17,440 Speaker 1: It was good talking to you. And if you have 614 00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,040 Speaker 1: any other questions, you know where to find me Ron 615 00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:21,400 Speaker 1: at Car Doctor Show dot com.

You can either do 623 00:34:07,360 --> 00:34:09,880 Speaker 1: it as a post under one of ours, or you 624 00:34:09,920 --> 00:34:11,239 Speaker 1: can do it to the left side of the page 625 00:34:11,239 --> 00:34:13,920 Speaker 1: where they allowed to interact. But the key is, like 626 00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:16,880 Speaker 1: the page, leave a question. If we use your question 627 00:34:17,120 --> 00:34:20,640 Speaker 1: app here on air and answer it, we will contact 628 00:34:20,640 --> 00:34:22,120 Speaker 1: you and send you out a Car Doctor T shirt. 629 00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:23,840 Speaker 1: And we're gonna do that right through the end of 630 00:34:23,880 --> 00:34:25,359 Speaker 1: this year. So we're just trying to make it easy 631 00:34:25,440 --> 00:34:28,000 Speaker 1: for you. We sort of overorder T shirts. Tom tells me, 632 00:34:28,360 --> 00:34:31,480 Speaker 1: I'm not sure who made that mistake, but um, anyway, Uh, 633 00:34:31,600 --> 00:34:34,439 Speaker 1: when a T shirt ask a question, learn something about 634 00:34:34,480 --> 00:34:36,880 Speaker 1: your car? What's better than that? Speaking of better than that? 635 00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:41,479 Speaker 1: Real quick comment, Um, recent article talking about synthetic motor 636 00:34:41,520 --> 00:34:45,440 Speaker 1: oil and better than conventional and uh, some controversy over it. 637 00:34:46,040 --> 00:34:48,920 Speaker 1: And you know, whenever I get into a controversy dealing 638 00:34:48,920 --> 00:34:50,920 Speaker 1: with a car in terms of what's the right answer, 639 00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:53,359 Speaker 1: what's the wrong answer? I always come back to square one, 640 00:34:53,440 --> 00:34:56,640 Speaker 1: base one and look at the facts. And I think 641 00:34:56,760 --> 00:35:00,120 Speaker 1: probably one of the best places to find information and 642 00:35:00,160 --> 00:35:02,440 Speaker 1: about synthetic motor oil is none other than the pens 643 00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,280 Speaker 1: oil site.
