I'll start my vacation 37 00:02:03,120 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 1: story here, because you guys know how much I enjoyed 38 00:02:05,480 --> 00:02:07,680 Speaker 1: doing that. And I really wanted to get out on 39 00:02:07,720 --> 00:02:09,600 Speaker 1: the bridge and I wanted to face my fear and 40 00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:12,480 Speaker 1: stare it right down the eyes and just you know, 41 00:02:12,720 --> 00:02:16,080 Speaker 1: like I'm here, ha ha, and just you know spitting 42 00:02:16,120 --> 00:02:19,119 Speaker 1: its eye and keep going.

There it's Delaware, Maryland, and we go across 44 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:27,880 Speaker 1: the Chesapeake Bay Bridge and hit dead stop traffic about 45 00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: two thirds of the way over. We got about a 46 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:35,200 Speaker 1: third over and just stopped. I hate the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. 47 00:02:35,200 --> 00:02:37,400 Speaker 1: You're out in the middle of the Chesapeake Bay, in 48 00:02:37,400 --> 00:02:40,840 Speaker 1: case you didn't know. So I'm trying to stay calm, 49 00:02:40,919 --> 00:02:43,520 Speaker 1: and I'm looking around that everybody around. Everybody around me 50 00:02:43,600 --> 00:02:45,840 Speaker 1: was kind of calm, and there's there's cars walt wall 51 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:47,480 Speaker 1: and I said, well, they can stay calm. I can 52 00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,400 Speaker 1: stay calm. So I stayed calmon. I got a life lesson, 53 00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,080 Speaker 1: I really did. I started flipping around the radio dial 54 00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:58,520 Speaker 1: and lo and behold, I realized something. I know this 55 00:02:58,600 --> 00:03:00,919 Speaker 1: is gonna sound really but you know, it's hard. It's 56 00:03:00,960 --> 00:03:03,200 Speaker 1: goofy being me. I mean, there's just moments you're just 57 00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:05,200 Speaker 1: you step outside the box to look back and you 58 00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:09,200 Speaker 1: realize it's you.

It 67 00:03:33,520 --> 00:03:35,320 Speaker 1: was like one of those great Poupon moments. I was 68 00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:37,080 Speaker 1: so excited. I wanted to roll the window down and 69 00:03:37,080 --> 00:03:38,560 Speaker 1: asked the guy next to me, ask him to roll 70 00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,400 Speaker 1: his window down and say, hey, do you have an 71 00:03:40,400 --> 00:03:42,480 Speaker 1: AM seven ninety Do you know who's on it? I 72 00:03:42,480 --> 00:03:44,160 Speaker 1: wonder what he would have done if he probably went 73 00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,840 Speaker 1: to carret so, but that was my That was the 74 00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:49,240 Speaker 1: opening to my summer vacation. We were on the bridge 75 00:03:49,280 --> 00:03:51,440 Speaker 1: for forty five minutes, stopped in dead stopped traffic for 76 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:56,040 Speaker 1: reasons I don't know, and um, it was just just 77 00:03:56,040 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: just good stuff. We got to North Carolina and it 78 00:03:59,680 --> 00:04:01,760 Speaker 1: was a typical good vacation. I did all the typical 79 00:04:01,800 --> 00:04:04,160 Speaker 1: good family stuff things that you do. I couldn't help 80 00:04:04,160 --> 00:04:07,400 Speaker 1: but trying to fix cars though, Um, to the lady 81 00:04:07,400 --> 00:04:09,320 Speaker 1: in the Walmart parking lot, I'm sorry, but your car 82 00:04:09,440 --> 00:04:11,320 Speaker 1: does have four bold tires and you really do need 83 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,120 Speaker 1: to put tires on the car to be safe, because 84 00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:15,040 Speaker 1: I kind of told her that and she got insulted. 85 00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,240 Speaker 1: I think there's a thing that goes on that, you know, 86 00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:19,760 Speaker 1: you get out of different areas of the country, and 87 00:04:20,600 --> 00:04:22,800 Speaker 1: the idea of what's good or band on a car 88 00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: changes greatly. I learned that on summer vacation that you 89 00:04:27,440 --> 00:04:30,400 Speaker 1: know what, what we consider bad a ball tire up 90 00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:33,640 Speaker 1: here is a racing slick down south and vice versa. 91 00:04:33,760 --> 00:04:37,159 Speaker 1: Just things, things change and evolve like that. Um. I 92 00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:39,200 Speaker 1: learned that my kids are trying to kill me. Um. 93 00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:41,719 Speaker 1: They took me to a water park on summer vacation, 94 00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:44,440 Speaker 1: and I know this has absolutely nothing to do with cars, 95 00:04:44,640 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: but it does in a way because I noticed, you know, 96 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: we went to the Outer Banks water Park. H two oh. 97 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:54,839 Speaker 1: I think that it's called you know, it's funny and 98 00:04:54,920 --> 00:04:58,880 Speaker 1: in general the types of cars that people drive around 99 00:04:58,920 --> 00:05:01,080 Speaker 1: the Outer Banks, So I guess outside of New Jersey, 100 00:05:01,279 --> 00:05:03,799 Speaker 1: it's just like a different world. There was no Tesla's. 101 00:05:04,400 --> 00:05:08,880 Speaker 1: I saw one electric vehicle, and I looked for electric vehicles. 102 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,120 Speaker 1: I didn't see any electric vehicles other than the Tesla, 103 00:05:11,160 --> 00:05:13,960 Speaker 1: and I saw one Tesla. The entire week I was 104 00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:16,840 Speaker 1: at the Outer Banks and we kept going by it. 105 00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: It was it was at a house down the street 106 00:05:18,440 --> 00:05:20,760 Speaker 1: from the house we rented, and it was always plugged 107 00:05:20,800 --> 00:05:22,520 Speaker 1: in being charged. I don't know if that's a sign 108 00:05:22,560 --> 00:05:24,760 Speaker 1: of the times or what that meant, but the car 109 00:05:24,880 --> 00:05:26,920 Speaker 1: never moved and we went by it three or four 110 00:05:27,000 --> 00:05:29,520 Speaker 1: times a day. And then when we got to the 111 00:05:29,520 --> 00:05:32,520 Speaker 1: water park, as I was standing, they took me on 112 00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:36,560 Speaker 1: this green slide of death, which was nine stories up. 113 00:05:36,560 --> 00:05:40,960 Speaker 1: I'm not exaggerating, it's nine stories up, and they stood 114 00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:42,799 Speaker 1: me on this trap door. They asked me to fold 115 00:05:42,839 --> 00:05:45,720 Speaker 1: my arms. I think that's the prey, and they pulled 116 00:05:45,720 --> 00:05:47,760 Speaker 1: the trap door out from under you, and you shoot 117 00:05:47,839 --> 00:05:52,159 Speaker 1: down three stories and then your butt hits the first 118 00:05:52,279 --> 00:05:54,200 Speaker 1: curve of the slide and then you kind of shoot 119 00:05:54,200 --> 00:05:55,880 Speaker 1: out of the darkness and into the light and a 120 00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,000 Speaker 1: wall of water. So I said, my kids are trying 121 00:05:58,000 --> 00:05:59,679 Speaker 1: to kill me. They're trying to drop me nine stories 122 00:05:59,720 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: and around me at the same time. But while I 123 00:06:01,800 --> 00:06:04,640 Speaker 1: was at the top of the water slide, I started 124 00:06:04,680 --> 00:06:06,200 Speaker 1: to look at some of the cars that are out 125 00:06:06,200 --> 00:06:08,040 Speaker 1: in the parking lot, which you can see three miles 126 00:06:08,040 --> 00:06:13,279 Speaker 1: away because you're up so high, lots of minivans, lots 127 00:06:13,279 --> 00:06:18,120 Speaker 1: of bigger trucks, SUVs. You guys aren't driving small cars 128 00:06:18,160 --> 00:06:22,919 Speaker 1: in a family situation. You're not. And you know, it 129 00:06:23,040 --> 00:06:26,640 Speaker 1: made me think that this, this electric car thing, this 130 00:06:26,880 --> 00:06:31,080 Speaker 1: the future of transportation is gonna have to include bigger 131 00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,919 Speaker 1: cars than what they're capable of building right now. And 132 00:06:33,960 --> 00:06:36,600 Speaker 1: I think that's going to have an impact on on 133 00:06:36,640 --> 00:06:39,599 Speaker 1: what we do and where we go as far as UM, 134 00:06:39,920 --> 00:06:43,000 Speaker 1: as far as electric vehicle service. I did stop in. 135 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:45,039 Speaker 1: I noticed some of the repair shops down on the 136 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: outer banks. I had to I got gas and you know, 137 00:06:48,400 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: they let me out of the car once UM and 138 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:54,640 Speaker 1: I got to stumble through a gentleman's repair shop pets 139 00:06:54,680 --> 00:06:57,480 Speaker 1: garage down there, and the mechanic was gone for the day. 140 00:06:57,480 --> 00:06:59,200 Speaker 1: It was three o'clock. I guess it's a short day 141 00:06:59,200 --> 00:07:05,279 Speaker 1: down there in some case, and very different, you know, 142 00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,720 Speaker 1: very different in terms of um, what they're working with. 143 00:07:08,839 --> 00:07:11,480 Speaker 1: They've they've got the same toolboxes and they've got you know, 144 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,440 Speaker 1: there was one scan tool in the shop. The gas 145 00:07:15,440 --> 00:07:18,440 Speaker 1: station attendant kind of showed me because I explained to 146 00:07:18,480 --> 00:07:19,640 Speaker 1: him what I do. I just you know, I have 147 00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:21,880 Speaker 1: repair shop in New Jersey. I'm curious to take the 148 00:07:21,880 --> 00:07:26,120 Speaker 1: tour um, but not the depth and the variety of 149 00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:30,840 Speaker 1: tools I see in the New York metropolitan area in shops. 150 00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:32,960 Speaker 1: And I don't know if that's the sign of the 151 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:36,240 Speaker 1: times or they're driving older vehicles, but it made me 152 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 1: realize that there's going to have to be a a 153 00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:45,280 Speaker 1: huge difference um approaching the technology. Is the technology changes 154 00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,320 Speaker 1: that as we increase, you know the technology of cars. 155 00:07:50,880 --> 00:07:54,440 Speaker 1: Let's say, let's say, if you know the insanity of California, 156 00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,680 Speaker 1: no new gas engine cars on sale. You read that 157 00:07:57,720 --> 00:08:00,480 Speaker 1: in the news this week, right, California has dan the 158 00:08:00,520 --> 00:08:05,080 Speaker 1: sale of new internal combustion engine vehicles by in the state. 159 00:08:05,680 --> 00:08:09,640 Speaker 1: Let's say that happens, You're gonna have to retool all 160 00:08:09,680 --> 00:08:13,160 Speaker 1: the repair shops in California. And as that spreads east, 161 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:18,400 Speaker 1: as unfortunately probably will. Uh you know, is this as 162 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,920 Speaker 1: they try to recreate this all the all the shops 163 00:08:21,920 --> 00:08:24,040 Speaker 1: that are gonna have to either gear up or go out. 164 00:08:25,040 --> 00:08:29,120 Speaker 1: And you know, I just keep thinking that they can 165 00:08:29,160 --> 00:08:30,640 Speaker 1: ask for anything they want, but we've got to be 166 00:08:30,720 --> 00:08:32,679 Speaker 1: ready for it. And where nowhere's near ready for it. 167 00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:36,960 Speaker 1: The politicians, in my opinion, are looking only in their neighborhood. 168 00:08:37,040 --> 00:08:38,800 Speaker 1: I don't feel like they're looking at this thing at 169 00:08:38,800 --> 00:08:40,400 Speaker 1: a national level. And I don't know what it would 170 00:08:40,440 --> 00:08:42,839 Speaker 1: take to get them to do that, but um, just 171 00:08:42,840 --> 00:08:46,800 Speaker 1: just very different. Um. So that's what I learned on 172 00:08:46,840 --> 00:08:50,560 Speaker 1: my summer vacation. That my kids are trying to kill me. Um. 173 00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:54,240 Speaker 1: The radio show really is nationally syndicated across the country. 174 00:08:55,040 --> 00:08:58,080 Speaker 1: I still hate the Chesapeake Bay Bridge. You get outside 175 00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: of New Jersey. The variety of cars shrinks, bounced, the 176 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:03,920 Speaker 1: trucks and SUVs, and very little electric vehicles that I saw. 177 00:09:04,040 --> 00:09:06,280 Speaker 1: Even on the road traveling, I did not see a 178 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:09,200 Speaker 1: lot of electric vehicles. Um. It was on everybody's mind, though, 179 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:11,840 Speaker 1: I should point that out real quick before I take 180 00:09:11,880 --> 00:09:15,040 Speaker 1: the pause, that people were talking about electrics and some 181 00:09:15,120 --> 00:09:17,120 Speaker 1: of the in some of the diners and restaurants as 182 00:09:17,120 --> 00:09:20,280 Speaker 1: we sat there at breakfast one morning, had lunch another day. 183 00:09:20,679 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to take in the local, you know, 184 00:09:23,120 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: the soak up the local color, so to speak. And uh, 185 00:09:26,800 --> 00:09:29,600 Speaker 1: it's on everybody's mind. But everybody said the same thing. 186 00:09:30,240 --> 00:09:32,120 Speaker 1: We you know, we don't see how they're gonna get 187 00:09:32,120 --> 00:09:34,880 Speaker 1: electricity across into the outer banks and where all this 188 00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:37,480 Speaker 1: is gonna which was a good point because as you 189 00:09:37,520 --> 00:09:40,040 Speaker 1: go into the outer banks North Carolina, there's a series 190 00:09:40,080 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 1: of telephone poles that's string across the water. And I 191 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,640 Speaker 1: couldn't help but wonder if that's how they're getting electricity out, 192 00:09:45,679 --> 00:09:48,600 Speaker 1: if there's underground cables that feed that part of the states. 193 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,800 Speaker 1: So I never did the research on that, So just 194 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:53,400 Speaker 1: just a whole another thing. Anyway, I am thrilled to 195 00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,480 Speaker 1: be back. I'm hoping you're glad to hear me again. 196 00:09:55,840 --> 00:09:57,560 Speaker 1: I will pull over, take a pause. When we come back, 197 00:09:57,559 --> 00:09:59,880 Speaker 1: we're gonna open the phone lines, so don't go very 198 00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:02,560 Speaker 1: oh yo oh. And she's you know, and I didn't 199 00:10:03,080 --> 00:10:04,880 Speaker 1: and I didn't say a lot of Tom, Tom. Did 200 00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,080 Speaker 1: you know what? Did you miss him? Sitting here? I 201 00:10:07,120 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: got my soda, I got my popcorn. I'm waiting for 202 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:12,280 Speaker 1: the slide show with the vacation pictures. And I even 203 00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:13,800 Speaker 1: got my eye bleach in case you show up in 204 00:10:13,840 --> 00:10:16,760 Speaker 1: a speedo. Oh no, I actually, Tom, I'm telling you, 205 00:10:16,800 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: I kind of had a speedo when they dropped me 206 00:10:18,520 --> 00:10:22,439 Speaker 1: out the slide so, because boy, that that was that 207 00:10:22,960 --> 00:10:25,720 Speaker 1: just you know, I had a wedgie for three days. 208 00:10:26,160 --> 00:10:31,120 Speaker 1: Um that thing just just like holy cow, um, I 209 00:10:31,160 --> 00:10:33,520 Speaker 1: asked him, didn't I didn't I do enough? Don't you 210 00:10:33,600 --> 00:10:35,360 Speaker 1: love your father? And they're like, yeah, that's why we 211 00:10:35,360 --> 00:10:37,720 Speaker 1: took you on this. We wanted you to have the experience. Yeah, 212 00:10:37,800 --> 00:10:40,240 Speaker 1: next time loved me a little less. Um, you know, 213 00:10:40,320 --> 00:10:42,959 Speaker 1: I don't. I don't. I don't need that experience. And 214 00:10:42,960 --> 00:10:46,880 Speaker 1: and as corny as it sounds, all right, I actually 215 00:10:46,920 --> 00:10:49,720 Speaker 1: had a first on my vacation. I had a funnel 216 00:10:49,760 --> 00:10:51,760 Speaker 1: cake with my daughter. I've never had a funnel cake before, 217 00:10:51,760 --> 00:10:54,319 Speaker 1: which is probably hard to believe, but yeah, I never 218 00:10:54,360 --> 00:10:56,400 Speaker 1: had a funnel cake. I I've always looked at him. 219 00:10:56,400 --> 00:10:58,880 Speaker 1: I never never took the moment to you know. But 220 00:10:58,920 --> 00:11:00,640 Speaker 1: I had a funnel cake sitting under a tree in 221 00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,160 Speaker 1: the water park in North Carolina. That was kind of enjoyable. 222 00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:07,360 Speaker 1: So um uh. And I found a really good restaurant 223 00:11:07,400 --> 00:11:09,800 Speaker 1: on the way to the Outer Banks, the Southern was 224 00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,839 Speaker 1: it the Southern Southern Style Kitchen just a little bit 225 00:11:13,840 --> 00:11:16,360 Speaker 1: before the Oh my god, I never had hush puppies before. 226 00:11:16,480 --> 00:11:18,400 Speaker 1: I had a hush puppy. Almost fell off the chair. 227 00:11:18,960 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: You know, now, I understand what well, I gotta get it. 228 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,240 Speaker 1: I do, But you know it's it's I have to 229 00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,720 Speaker 1: say that that that scene and Smoky in the bandit 230 00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,720 Speaker 1: were jack were Jackie Gleeson's asking Junior, you want something 231 00:11:30,720 --> 00:11:32,440 Speaker 1: to can we get some hush puppies? And he's like, no, 232 00:11:32,520 --> 00:11:34,760 Speaker 1: we don't have time for that. Trust me, you gotta 233 00:11:34,760 --> 00:11:36,800 Speaker 1: make times for the hushpuppies. Have the hush puppies. The 234 00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:39,120 Speaker 1: hush puppies were great, a little butter. They were warm 235 00:11:39,200 --> 00:11:42,280 Speaker 1: coming out of the oven. Anyway, until next year. I'm 236 00:11:42,480 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: any in the car, Doctor nine zero. I'll be back 237 00:11:46,440 --> 00:11:57,880 Speaker 1: right after this. Don't go away. That's right. If you 238 00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:00,320 Speaker 1: call and we're not live, you can leave a message 239 00:12:00,360 --> 00:12:01,880 Speaker 1: and we'll call you back to get you on the 240 00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:09,120 Speaker 1: air with Rono nine zero zero. Speaking of ron Gary is, Hey, 241 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,120 Speaker 1: let's get over to Rich in Connecticut and see what's 242 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:14,240 Speaker 1: going on with this sixteen accord. Rich. Welcome to the car. Doctice, sir, 243 00:12:14,320 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: how can I help? Hey? Ron? How are you um 244 00:12:18,440 --> 00:12:21,760 Speaker 1: question this this car? Um? Lately I've noticed when the 245 00:12:21,800 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: air conditioning is on, I'm like sitting and trumpet them 246 00:12:24,520 --> 00:12:27,480 Speaker 1: up for traffic. It's like when you stop and go, 247 00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:30,559 Speaker 1: it seems like it hesitates a little bit not very subtle. 248 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:33,240 Speaker 1: But then the other thing I noticed with it too 249 00:12:33,360 --> 00:12:35,720 Speaker 1: is regarding the air conditioning, and I noticed that the 250 00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,880 Speaker 1: clutch seemed to the compressor seems to be cycling on 251 00:12:39,000 --> 00:12:40,880 Speaker 1: and awful lot. Sometimes I'll be sitting there at a 252 00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:44,959 Speaker 1: light and like a matter of you know, ten seconds, 253 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:46,559 Speaker 1: you can hear it, you know, the fan, the engine 254 00:12:46,600 --> 00:12:48,800 Speaker 1: fan comes on, the compressor kicks on, then it kicks 255 00:12:48,880 --> 00:12:51,920 Speaker 1: right off again, and you know, on and off like that. 256 00:12:51,960 --> 00:12:53,560 Speaker 1: And I'm not sure if it always did that. I 257 00:12:53,559 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: don't think it did do just not sure. Tell me, 258 00:12:57,360 --> 00:12:59,520 Speaker 1: Tell me, how are you're using the air conditioning? Rich 259 00:12:59,520 --> 00:13:00,720 Speaker 1: What do you have? How do you have it set 260 00:13:00,760 --> 00:13:04,280 Speaker 1: up on the desk? And you describe it? Yeah, I 261 00:13:04,280 --> 00:13:07,840 Speaker 1: put it on, you know time normally I'm not not 262 00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:11,000 Speaker 1: max just rightgular or not circulating or anything. Um cool 263 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:14,000 Speaker 1: as temperature turned down as far cold as it will 264 00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:17,080 Speaker 1: go on two or three and on two or three 265 00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,959 Speaker 1: and yeah, all right, Um, how does the car cool 266 00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:25,319 Speaker 1: going down the road? It cool? Is good? It cools? Um, 267 00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:27,680 Speaker 1: you know it's it's it's a sixteen. I don't I 268 00:13:27,720 --> 00:13:29,400 Speaker 1: can't stay for sure that it's as cold as it 269 00:13:29,480 --> 00:13:31,400 Speaker 1: was when it was new but I mean it seems cold. 270 00:13:31,400 --> 00:13:33,439 Speaker 1: It's getting it getting the temperature down. I mean it's 271 00:13:33,440 --> 00:13:36,520 Speaker 1: been very hot here. It seems to be working okay 272 00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:40,320 Speaker 1: temperature wise, but you know it could be a little 273 00:13:40,360 --> 00:13:42,559 Speaker 1: low on charge. I don't think so. But I just 274 00:13:42,600 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: want to mention this. If you were presenting this at 275 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:48,440 Speaker 1: the shop, the conversation would be, I want to scan 276 00:13:48,520 --> 00:13:51,400 Speaker 1: it for codes, even though I know that sounds weird. 277 00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:54,199 Speaker 1: But you know, if there's a fault in the air 278 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:56,840 Speaker 1: conditioning system, it does not turn on any light at 279 00:13:56,840 --> 00:14:00,360 Speaker 1: the dashboard, all right, there's no there's no the A 280 00:14:00,480 --> 00:14:03,360 Speaker 1: C light, all right. Uh. You know, if the vehicle 281 00:14:03,360 --> 00:14:05,559 Speaker 1: has an emissions fault, you gotta check engine light. If 282 00:14:05,559 --> 00:14:07,760 Speaker 1: there's a fault in the air conditioning, it doesn't turn 283 00:14:07,840 --> 00:14:10,520 Speaker 1: on in a sea light on that car. It might 284 00:14:10,520 --> 00:14:13,200 Speaker 1: give you some cock eye performance like you're experiencing. So 285 00:14:13,240 --> 00:14:15,280 Speaker 1: it's just a good idea to have a quick code 286 00:14:15,280 --> 00:14:17,680 Speaker 1: skinned one just for that system. As a matter of fact, 287 00:14:17,720 --> 00:14:21,160 Speaker 1: that I'm starting to I'm fulfilling my prophecy from five 288 00:14:21,280 --> 00:14:22,800 Speaker 1: six years ago when I say we're gonna get to 289 00:14:22,800 --> 00:14:25,040 Speaker 1: the point where we scan every car that comes in 290 00:14:25,120 --> 00:14:26,960 Speaker 1: for anything. We're gonna scan all the modules, and we 291 00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:28,920 Speaker 1: are because you'd be amazed what we see. At least 292 00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:31,040 Speaker 1: we have a copy of it. Heart rate, blood pressure, 293 00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:32,960 Speaker 1: what do you way? Just like going to the doctor, right, 294 00:14:33,440 --> 00:14:36,360 Speaker 1: So I want to code scan it. Um, I'd like 295 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,440 Speaker 1: to know what system pressures are. Do they read normal? 296 00:14:39,760 --> 00:14:41,920 Speaker 1: What are they at rest? Before I start the car up? 297 00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:44,040 Speaker 1: What are they all the vehicles operating even though I'm 298 00:14:44,080 --> 00:14:47,120 Speaker 1: not seeing the problem? Is the system capable of building 299 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,560 Speaker 1: correct pressure? And does it seem like it has enough 300 00:14:49,600 --> 00:14:52,640 Speaker 1: of a charge in it. One of the things we 301 00:14:52,720 --> 00:14:55,800 Speaker 1: all have to remember is that air conditioning systems have 302 00:14:55,880 --> 00:14:59,360 Speaker 1: gotten smaller over the years in terms of refrigerant capacity. 303 00:14:59,720 --> 00:15:02,360 Speaker 1: What it's one thirty four, whether it's twelve thirty four, 304 00:15:02,520 --> 00:15:05,800 Speaker 1: y f the newer stuff, and that vehicle could be 305 00:15:06,120 --> 00:15:07,880 Speaker 1: is likely one thirty four, but it could be the 306 00:15:07,880 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: newer refrigerant to all right, I've seen it's one thirty four, okay, 307 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,320 Speaker 1: because I've seen handa split it. And a matter of fact, 308 00:15:14,360 --> 00:15:16,240 Speaker 1: we had an eighteen Civic in the shop this week 309 00:15:16,960 --> 00:15:19,360 Speaker 1: that was a twelve thirty four, but the wiring diagram 310 00:15:19,440 --> 00:15:20,960 Speaker 1: showed you that it could be a one thirty four 311 00:15:21,080 --> 00:15:25,520 Speaker 1: car also, so I'm always cautious around this this timeframe. Uh, 312 00:15:25,600 --> 00:15:28,360 Speaker 1: you know, so you know what's the system charge like 313 00:15:29,080 --> 00:15:31,640 Speaker 1: if if we want to accept system charge is good 314 00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:33,480 Speaker 1: if you've got a way to measure it, great, if not, 315 00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:38,080 Speaker 1: but just something else to consider where the bigger issue 316 00:15:38,160 --> 00:15:41,280 Speaker 1: is or what is more likely at fault. If you're 317 00:15:41,280 --> 00:15:44,600 Speaker 1: seeing the compressor rapidly cycle, there's no fault codes. It's 318 00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:48,160 Speaker 1: got good refrigerant, all right. You know, if you're seeing 319 00:15:48,160 --> 00:15:51,200 Speaker 1: the compressor rapidly cycle, sitting at idle on off, on off, 320 00:15:51,240 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: on off, on off, and it's nothing electrical in terms 321 00:15:54,440 --> 00:15:58,280 Speaker 1: of the control head, the switch the PCM is is 322 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:03,680 Speaker 1: changing because it doesn't like something it sees. For example, 323 00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:06,400 Speaker 1: all right, now it's not in your case, but it 324 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,600 Speaker 1: can happen on cars. If for some reason the computer 325 00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:13,840 Speaker 1: thinks you're changing throttle position, it may kick off the 326 00:16:13,880 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: A C compressor and it's gonna read that. So an 327 00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: erratic throttle position sensor could cause an A C compressor 328 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:22,720 Speaker 1: to cut out. And if it happens twelve times over 329 00:16:22,800 --> 00:16:25,360 Speaker 1: three seconds, it's gonna go on off, on off, on off, 330 00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:28,800 Speaker 1: on off, right, you get my point. So you know 331 00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: it could happen. What's most likely going on, all right, 332 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:37,240 Speaker 1: is you've either got a I hate to say it, 333 00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: but you could have a failing electrical portion of the 334 00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:44,840 Speaker 1: clutch itself for the air conditioning compressor. All right. Can 335 00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:47,160 Speaker 1: you see the face of the compressor V six or 336 00:16:47,200 --> 00:16:51,360 Speaker 1: four cylinder right, so it's down in the front on 337 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,520 Speaker 1: the passenger side. Uh, you know, look at the face 338 00:16:54,680 --> 00:16:58,200 Speaker 1: of the A C compressor. Does it look beat up? 339 00:16:58,280 --> 00:17:00,440 Speaker 1: Is it blue? Does it have does it have you know, 340 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:04,120 Speaker 1: like an orange just glow to it like it's been overheated. Um. 341 00:17:04,160 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 1: If it does, it's a sign that the magnetic field 342 00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:10,679 Speaker 1: coil is weakened over time and it's allowing the clutch 343 00:17:10,760 --> 00:17:12,800 Speaker 1: to slip and now that it's gotten to the point 344 00:17:12,840 --> 00:17:15,920 Speaker 1: where it can't hold the compressor on all of the time. 345 00:17:16,080 --> 00:17:22,400 Speaker 1: That's a possibility, all right. How many miles around this car? Yes, 346 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:26,240 Speaker 1: it's it's possible. This is a compressor issue. The other possibility, 347 00:17:26,560 --> 00:17:31,159 Speaker 1: all right is the A C compressor relay, which should 348 00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,240 Speaker 1: be there should be a there's gonna be a power 349 00:17:33,320 --> 00:17:36,639 Speaker 1: distribution box either over on the driver's side fender or 350 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:40,120 Speaker 1: in the right rear corner of the engine compartment. Take 351 00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:42,000 Speaker 1: the lid off, You're gonna look for the relay that's 352 00:17:42,000 --> 00:17:43,880 Speaker 1: got a snowflake on it. You gotta turn the cover 353 00:17:43,960 --> 00:17:46,160 Speaker 1: upside down. This is how they do it, alright, because 354 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:48,280 Speaker 1: if you don't have an information system, you're looking for 355 00:17:48,320 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: the relay in the in the legend that has the 356 00:17:50,760 --> 00:17:53,680 Speaker 1: snowflake on it. That's the A C relay, all right. 357 00:17:54,320 --> 00:17:56,280 Speaker 1: Once you and the way you could identify it is 358 00:17:56,280 --> 00:17:58,960 Speaker 1: is to pop that relay out and turn the A 359 00:17:59,119 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: C on and see if the compressor comes on. If 360 00:18:01,600 --> 00:18:03,760 Speaker 1: the compressor doesn't come on, now you know you've got 361 00:18:03,840 --> 00:18:07,280 Speaker 1: the right relay. Okay, but do that with the key off. 362 00:18:07,280 --> 00:18:08,840 Speaker 1: You don't want to start popping relays that with the 363 00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:12,600 Speaker 1: engine running. All right. Um, once you identify the relay, 364 00:18:12,880 --> 00:18:15,840 Speaker 1: there's usually and I've always seen it that, but I'm 365 00:18:15,840 --> 00:18:17,879 Speaker 1: just gonna say it like this, there's usually a relay 366 00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,919 Speaker 1: with the same part number in that box. Shut the 367 00:18:20,920 --> 00:18:23,600 Speaker 1: engine back off. Swap relays, I think the fog lamp 368 00:18:23,640 --> 00:18:25,679 Speaker 1: relay in the A C relay or the same numbers. 369 00:18:26,080 --> 00:18:28,520 Speaker 1: Swap the relay, see if the compressor fixes itself. If 370 00:18:28,520 --> 00:18:30,040 Speaker 1: it does, you know you've got a bad relay. Go 371 00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,199 Speaker 1: buy a relay at Honda and you'll be fine. But 372 00:18:32,240 --> 00:18:33,760 Speaker 1: those are the steps you've got to go through in 373 00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:35,640 Speaker 1: order to solve it. Call me if you need more. 374 00:18:35,800 --> 00:19:09,360 Speaker 1: I'll be back right after this. Don't go away, Hey, 375 00:19:09,480 --> 00:19:11,720 Speaker 1: welcome back. Name the car Doctor at eight five five 376 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,960 Speaker 1: five six zero zero zero. Let me give me that 377 00:19:14,040 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: number again, eight five five five six zero nine zero zero. 378 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:20,960 Speaker 1: The Car Doctor seven, working all the time, seven days 379 00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,160 Speaker 1: a week, three sixty five days a year, always their 380 00:19:24,320 --> 00:19:26,480 Speaker 1: phone number. UM, give us a call, leave a message. 381 00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,000 Speaker 1: If we're not live on the air, tom Rail, I'll 382 00:19:28,000 --> 00:19:29,480 Speaker 1: give you a call back and get you in the queue. 383 00:19:29,600 --> 00:19:31,359 Speaker 1: Let's go to Arizona and talk to Brett Oh for 384 00:19:31,600 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: Chevy Corvette and some knock sensor issues. Brett, Welcome to 385 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:39,640 Speaker 1: the car Doctor. How can I help? Yeah, thank you? Welcome. Yeah, 386 00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:42,600 Speaker 1: the cars the car is not my daily driver. But uh, 387 00:19:43,520 --> 00:19:46,240 Speaker 1: about a year and a half ago, the oil sensor 388 00:19:46,840 --> 00:19:48,960 Speaker 1: went out, so I thought, well, now that's a perfect 389 00:19:49,040 --> 00:19:51,800 Speaker 1: time because I could access both oil sensor and the 390 00:19:51,840 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 1: knock sensors. I take an intake man pulled off, So 391 00:19:56,200 --> 00:19:59,280 Speaker 1: so I did that and it went okay. And uh, 392 00:20:00,160 --> 00:20:02,719 Speaker 1: just as a side note, I had to troubleshoot the sensor. 393 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:04,840 Speaker 1: It turned out not to be the censor of the gauge, 394 00:20:04,880 --> 00:20:07,919 Speaker 1: but I had lost the ground, so I just placed 395 00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,240 Speaker 1: in the ground tighter to the engine block. Had to 396 00:20:10,280 --> 00:20:12,200 Speaker 1: a pressure again, so I was on my way there 397 00:20:13,359 --> 00:20:16,119 Speaker 1: and the nock sense or the only reason I mentioned 398 00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:18,080 Speaker 1: that is I found out later of the dot wiring 399 00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:21,280 Speaker 1: diagram that the oil pressure sensor ground runs through the 400 00:20:21,320 --> 00:20:27,320 Speaker 1: pcm um. So anyway, change the dock sensors out test 401 00:20:27,400 --> 00:20:30,639 Speaker 1: drove the car ran better than run the last five years. 402 00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:35,480 Speaker 1: Just beautiful right here we go like like you were, 403 00:20:35,560 --> 00:20:37,399 Speaker 1: just like you had just washed and waxed that it 404 00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:45,160 Speaker 1: felt that good. Right yeah, okay, one comes you've got 405 00:20:45,160 --> 00:20:47,920 Speaker 1: out the code reader no sense or one knock sense 406 00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:52,119 Speaker 1: or to fail ever since. And that's right after you 407 00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:57,040 Speaker 1: change those two sensors. Yes, right after the first question. 408 00:20:57,119 --> 00:21:03,439 Speaker 1: So where'd you get the sensors from? I mail ordered him. 409 00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:07,200 Speaker 1: I believe they were Delco brand. I'm trying to stay 410 00:21:07,240 --> 00:21:10,080 Speaker 1: with something that I thought would be original, should be Okay, 411 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:15,640 Speaker 1: do you still have the original ones? Uh? No? Okay, 412 00:21:16,440 --> 00:21:19,199 Speaker 1: ROOKIEE rookie mistake. You know I'm going to tell you that, 413 00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:25,639 Speaker 1: right Okay, okay, never anyone never do that. Good past 414 00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:28,239 Speaker 1: forward a year and I had some time, so I 415 00:21:28,359 --> 00:21:33,960 Speaker 1: decided to having the wiring diagram in hand, I decided 416 00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:39,400 Speaker 1: to earn our the PCM and spread the connector out 417 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,439 Speaker 1: good on both sides with a contract cleaner, put it 418 00:21:43,480 --> 00:21:47,480 Speaker 1: back in. All the codes are gone. Everything is wonderful 419 00:21:47,800 --> 00:21:50,920 Speaker 1: for the first three starts. Fourth start of the engine, 420 00:21:52,440 --> 00:21:59,040 Speaker 1: I got the po returned, and uh, it's kind of 421 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:01,040 Speaker 1: been off and on a and now since I drove 422 00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:05,359 Speaker 1: it to or since I've done that, it's, uh, it'll 423 00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:09,360 Speaker 1: go idiot light off, idiot light back on, so off on. 424 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:13,640 Speaker 1: So I'm thinking I've got contact issues because we're talking 425 00:22:13,680 --> 00:22:19,239 Speaker 1: about microamps here. So let's let me say it like this. 426 00:22:19,440 --> 00:22:22,120 Speaker 1: Non sensors are like your relatives at the holidays. They 427 00:22:22,119 --> 00:22:25,760 Speaker 1: are the most finicky bunch to deal with, all right. 428 00:22:26,359 --> 00:22:30,480 Speaker 1: In terms of signal, the the only accurate way to 429 00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:34,679 Speaker 1: test a knock sensor is with a lab scope. All right. 430 00:22:35,200 --> 00:22:37,919 Speaker 1: Having said that, okay, because you're you're looking at signal 431 00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:40,560 Speaker 1: that the college word is ps electric. A knock sensor 432 00:22:40,600 --> 00:22:44,560 Speaker 1: is peco electric. It develops its own electrical charge and signal. Uh. 433 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:47,399 Speaker 1: It listens for sound, It hears the sound, the sound 434 00:22:47,440 --> 00:22:50,479 Speaker 1: gets amplified through an ear drum, so to speak, inside 435 00:22:50,520 --> 00:22:53,159 Speaker 1: the sensor, and it creates an electrical pulse out to 436 00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:56,199 Speaker 1: the engine. The way. The reason it's setting the fault 437 00:22:56,359 --> 00:22:59,800 Speaker 1: is because how could a computer test a knock sensor 438 00:23:00,240 --> 00:23:04,040 Speaker 1: understand this. So what it will do is it will 439 00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,919 Speaker 1: over advance timing at a specific point. It will, you know, 440 00:23:08,200 --> 00:23:10,479 Speaker 1: bring timing up to the point where the engine starts 441 00:23:10,520 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: to ping or knock or make noise. However your your 442 00:23:13,320 --> 00:23:16,120 Speaker 1: brain wants to process it. Um it will say, okay, 443 00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:18,640 Speaker 1: it's supposed to start to ping or knock at thirty 444 00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:21,639 Speaker 1: thirty degrees of advance at this particular point, and it 445 00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,000 Speaker 1: brings it up to thirty, and it does. And then 446 00:23:24,000 --> 00:23:26,280 Speaker 1: one day it brings it up the thirty and it doesn't. 447 00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:29,159 Speaker 1: It doesn't hear a signal, or it doesn't generate the signal, 448 00:23:29,280 --> 00:23:31,960 Speaker 1: or maybe it generates the signal at twenty two. But 449 00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,399 Speaker 1: all it knows is it's out of calibration. It's not 450 00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: quite sure why, but it's it expected to be able 451 00:23:36,640 --> 00:23:38,639 Speaker 1: to get the thirty. It couldn't. Maybe it got the 452 00:23:38,640 --> 00:23:40,760 Speaker 1: thirty six, maybe it got the twenty two. It's out 453 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:44,400 Speaker 1: of range. So that's that's what there is telling us, 454 00:23:44,800 --> 00:23:50,040 Speaker 1: all right, known issues with quality of sensor, the sub harness. 455 00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:54,160 Speaker 1: There was a sub harness under that intake manifold correct, right, 456 00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:57,159 Speaker 1: I replaced status well? Okay, um, known issues with the 457 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:03,080 Speaker 1: sub harness and uh, you know, just quality of part um. 458 00:24:03,119 --> 00:24:08,680 Speaker 1: Suspicious that it's a PCM connector because there's what a 459 00:24:08,800 --> 00:24:11,520 Speaker 1: D pins there. Hum. I'm trying to think, you know 460 00:24:11,560 --> 00:24:14,080 Speaker 1: there's a d pens there. It just happens to be. 461 00:24:14,160 --> 00:24:16,480 Speaker 1: It just happens to be the four wires that you have, 462 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:21,320 Speaker 1: the two parts that you replaced, that it's a PCM. UM. 463 00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: The way I would attack it, if you want to 464 00:24:23,520 --> 00:24:26,800 Speaker 1: go through the pain is if you can find the 465 00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:31,600 Speaker 1: micro terminal of what that PCM connector is, pull your 466 00:24:31,600 --> 00:24:36,240 Speaker 1: connector off, identify the by wiring by pin connector, and 467 00:24:36,320 --> 00:24:40,879 Speaker 1: do a do a tensil pin test pencil a tensil 468 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:46,200 Speaker 1: pin strength test all right, where you know will will 469 00:24:46,359 --> 00:24:49,960 Speaker 1: take a the actual connector and go pin by pin 470 00:24:50,880 --> 00:24:53,960 Speaker 1: and check the PCM and then I'll do the same thing. 471 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:55,399 Speaker 1: You get the mail, you get the female. You do 472 00:24:55,480 --> 00:24:57,000 Speaker 1: it this way, you do it that way. You make 473 00:24:57,040 --> 00:25:01,320 Speaker 1: sure you've got good pin contact. I would be surprised 474 00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,480 Speaker 1: if it's a pin issue, all right, I would be 475 00:25:04,560 --> 00:25:08,439 Speaker 1: more suspect that. You know, maybe do we have a 476 00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:11,040 Speaker 1: bad PCM. But boy, that's a reach too. Before I 477 00:25:11,040 --> 00:25:13,119 Speaker 1: get to that, I want to test it, I need 478 00:25:13,160 --> 00:25:18,720 Speaker 1: a lapscope. Do you have a scan tool? M not 479 00:25:18,440 --> 00:25:21,200 Speaker 1: a not a good? Okay, go buy a good scan tool. 480 00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:23,800 Speaker 1: That's that's the first thing. Listen. If you're gonna work 481 00:25:23,840 --> 00:25:27,960 Speaker 1: on rocket ships, you gotta have rocket tools, right Um. 482 00:25:28,000 --> 00:25:30,240 Speaker 1: There's just there's just no other way around it. If 483 00:25:30,240 --> 00:25:33,040 Speaker 1: you had a scan tool that that red data stream 484 00:25:33,040 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: and was accurate, all right, what you could do is 485 00:25:37,560 --> 00:25:39,600 Speaker 1: remember how I said they test the knock sensor. How 486 00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:41,760 Speaker 1: does it do it? It advances timing until it here's 487 00:25:41,800 --> 00:25:45,879 Speaker 1: the knock. You could tap around the engine and this 488 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,640 Speaker 1: was GM's test for the longest time. You would bring 489 00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:50,919 Speaker 1: the scan tool up. You would look at ignition timing. 490 00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,240 Speaker 1: You would look if the tool could display knock sensor pit. 491 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:57,680 Speaker 1: It could display pit, it would say nock sensor you know, yes, 492 00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:00,280 Speaker 1: no no, meaning it doesn't hear anything. Tap the side 493 00:26:00,280 --> 00:26:03,000 Speaker 1: of the block changes to yes. Hey, the circuits working 494 00:26:03,480 --> 00:26:05,600 Speaker 1: at least you know, the circuit's got continuity. If you 495 00:26:05,640 --> 00:26:07,359 Speaker 1: tap the side of the block and you see nothing, 496 00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:11,320 Speaker 1: well you know, maybe we've got an issue. The last thing, 497 00:26:11,400 --> 00:26:14,800 Speaker 1: or the simplest thing you could probably do is, unfortunately 498 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:18,520 Speaker 1: you need access to the sensors, is go own the sensors. 499 00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,879 Speaker 1: Have you tried oming the sensors just to measure the 500 00:26:21,960 --> 00:26:32,040 Speaker 1: resistance value? No? Just because of the yeah yeah, um, 501 00:26:32,040 --> 00:26:34,520 Speaker 1: maybe you could do it. You could probably do it 502 00:26:34,560 --> 00:26:37,119 Speaker 1: at the PCM, but you'd have to allow for something. 503 00:26:37,560 --> 00:26:39,959 Speaker 1: But you should see if I remember right, it's like 504 00:26:40,080 --> 00:26:45,600 Speaker 1: nine to seven thousand omens resistance. All right, my experience, 505 00:26:46,640 --> 00:26:48,439 Speaker 1: this is not going to fail by a little. It's 506 00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: going to fail by a lot if it's sensor or 507 00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:55,520 Speaker 1: circuit related, all right, that you know if it's one 508 00:26:55,560 --> 00:26:57,840 Speaker 1: oh seven, and double check me because it's been a while. 509 00:26:58,200 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: But if it's one oh seven, you're gonna see two 510 00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:04,840 Speaker 1: homes and you're gonna go, well, that's not right, okay, 511 00:27:04,920 --> 00:27:06,359 Speaker 1: And then you've got to go through is it is 512 00:27:06,400 --> 00:27:09,240 Speaker 1: it the subparness you put in or is it is 513 00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:13,359 Speaker 1: it the sensors you put in? Remember this too, alright, 514 00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,639 Speaker 1: Brett as much and I know I'm bursting your bubble. 515 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,359 Speaker 1: And I'm sorry, but it's what you need to know, 516 00:27:17,480 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 1: not what you want to hear. Um, just because you 517 00:27:20,240 --> 00:27:22,520 Speaker 1: buy it online and it comes out of a box 518 00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:27,280 Speaker 1: that says Delco, it may not be. That's the problem today, 519 00:27:29,000 --> 00:27:31,159 Speaker 1: you know. I I see it all the time. I 520 00:27:31,200 --> 00:27:33,080 Speaker 1: can't tell you how many times people bring me parts 521 00:27:33,080 --> 00:27:34,400 Speaker 1: in the shop and they say, hey, can you put 522 00:27:34,440 --> 00:27:36,399 Speaker 1: this on the car for me? No, when it's a 523 00:27:36,440 --> 00:27:39,560 Speaker 1: liability issue too, because it's not a real I'll use 524 00:27:39,600 --> 00:27:42,000 Speaker 1: Delco since we said Delko it's not a real Delco piece, 525 00:27:42,400 --> 00:27:44,560 Speaker 1: And they'll say, how do you know? And I'll go 526 00:27:44,640 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: through the pain in some cases of getting another one, 527 00:27:47,400 --> 00:27:48,720 Speaker 1: and we'll take the two out of the box and 528 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:51,600 Speaker 1: line them up side by side and they look totally different. 529 00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:54,240 Speaker 1: Just because it came out of the box doesn't mean 530 00:27:54,280 --> 00:27:58,760 Speaker 1: that's what it is. So unfortunately, that's what you got. 531 00:27:58,840 --> 00:28:02,000 Speaker 1: Kid on, You've got some homework it though. All right, Um, 532 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,119 Speaker 1: I'm not picking I'm not picking on you, but I 533 00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,400 Speaker 1: and I and I will tell you this, I'm amazed 534 00:28:06,400 --> 00:28:08,800 Speaker 1: at your tenacity. Most people wouldn't go through it this far. 535 00:28:09,119 --> 00:28:12,080 Speaker 1: Most people would have given up, all right. The fact 536 00:28:12,160 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 1: that you're checking grounds and that you took the intake 537 00:28:14,760 --> 00:28:17,880 Speaker 1: off and you know that's your your die hard whatever 538 00:28:17,920 --> 00:28:19,320 Speaker 1: you do for a living brother, you would have been 539 00:28:19,320 --> 00:28:25,920 Speaker 1: a great mechanic, alright, So okay, don't take it to heart. 540 00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,440 Speaker 1: Call me back if you need more. I'll be here 541 00:28:27,440 --> 00:28:30,560 Speaker 1: for you, all right, Okay, thank you, You'll be well. 542 00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,760 Speaker 1: You're very welcome. Hey, five five zero zero. The car 543 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: doctor is gonna cruise back right after this. Don't go away, 544 00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,200 Speaker 1: welcome back running in the car doctor. Let's get over 545 00:28:46,240 --> 00:28:54,920 Speaker 1: to Nick and Missouri. Nick? What he got? Nick? Yo? Nick? Nick? 546 00:28:54,960 --> 00:28:59,640 Speaker 1: Going once? I think his phone may have flattery, may 547 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,120 Speaker 1: have gone day. Let me get him on hold and 548 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: see if he's there. Okay, let me let me I 549 00:29:03,320 --> 00:29:06,080 Speaker 1: can I can move forward because I'm a professional. So 550 00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:08,480 Speaker 1: because I do have this uh email, wait a minute, 551 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:10,240 Speaker 1: let me find it for you, all um. Here it 552 00:29:10,320 --> 00:29:12,520 Speaker 1: is right here. This is from this William slate up 553 00:29:12,520 --> 00:29:15,280 Speaker 1: in Connecticut. Ron. I've got a particular highway ramp my 554 00:29:15,480 --> 00:29:17,959 Speaker 1: ninety and I love this email because he he actually 555 00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:19,600 Speaker 1: sent me a picture of the off ramp that he 556 00:29:19,600 --> 00:29:23,800 Speaker 1: gets on and off in Branford, Connecticut that starts straight 557 00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:26,560 Speaker 1: and makes a banking lift turn. My stability control seems 558 00:29:26,600 --> 00:29:28,560 Speaker 1: to go crazy around the middle of the turn. I 559 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:30,800 Speaker 1: gotta tell you, I gotta comment about that again. This 560 00:29:30,840 --> 00:29:33,400 Speaker 1: is the most inventive email I've ever had gotten in 561 00:29:33,440 --> 00:29:36,160 Speaker 1: my thirty one years on radio right that somebody actually 562 00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:38,400 Speaker 1: sent me a road map showing me where the problem 563 00:29:38,440 --> 00:29:40,960 Speaker 1: happens the curve of the I kind of like that. 564 00:29:41,000 --> 00:29:43,400 Speaker 1: It kind of got my attention. My stability control goes 565 00:29:43,400 --> 00:29:45,200 Speaker 1: crazy around the middle of the turn. Nowhere else dry 566 00:29:45,240 --> 00:29:47,600 Speaker 1: conditions see the map below in the arrow. Just blow 567 00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: the h hotels is like the a BS firing ultra 568 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:52,000 Speaker 1: fast on the right front for several seconds or some 569 00:29:52,040 --> 00:29:54,840 Speaker 1: differential locking up, almost a grinding sound. The car slows 570 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:56,920 Speaker 1: and dies twice. Been into the dealer who says it 571 00:29:56,920 --> 00:29:58,360 Speaker 1: did not happen for them. I plan to take them 572 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: out with me driving. Any thoughts. The car had been 573 00:30:00,760 --> 00:30:03,160 Speaker 1: very prone to wheel speed sensor failures a few years back, 574 00:30:03,440 --> 00:30:05,600 Speaker 1: but always displayed an error message when that occurred. No 575 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:08,080 Speaker 1: error messages for months. Any thoughts, Yeah, you've got an 576 00:30:08,160 --> 00:30:10,760 Speaker 1: erratic wheel speed sensor here, bill Um. I mean, that's 577 00:30:10,840 --> 00:30:15,000 Speaker 1: kind of obvious. Sometimes sometimes the only way you're going 578 00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,280 Speaker 1: to do this is you've really got to get a 579 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,840 Speaker 1: lab scope pooked up and start looking at signal. You 580 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:23,720 Speaker 1: might catch it. You might catch it using a scan tool. 581 00:30:23,800 --> 00:30:26,360 Speaker 1: Properly set up a fast scan tool with a good 582 00:30:26,400 --> 00:30:29,280 Speaker 1: a good processor, but only looking at either two or 583 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:32,600 Speaker 1: four wheel speed sensor signals at a time. Don't load 584 00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:34,680 Speaker 1: the screen up. You know. One of the advantages of 585 00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:37,280 Speaker 1: having a scan tool that will allow you to select 586 00:30:37,440 --> 00:30:40,760 Speaker 1: PIDs in case you're wondering, it's it's so that you 587 00:30:40,760 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: can focus on what you're looking for, but it's also 588 00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: so that it doesn't slow down the tool. All right. 589 00:30:46,760 --> 00:30:49,600 Speaker 1: There's a there's a process by which a scan tool 590 00:30:49,640 --> 00:30:52,440 Speaker 1: works called polling p O double L I n G. 591 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:55,160 Speaker 1: It goes out and it asks everybody, if you've got 592 00:30:55,200 --> 00:30:57,880 Speaker 1: forty kids in a classroom, to everybody to raise their hand. 593 00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:00,400 Speaker 1: You know what's the delay? Everybody ready their hands to 594 00:31:00,440 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: show that you're here. You know, forty kids are raising 595 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,400 Speaker 1: their hand. If you got to two hands, go up 596 00:31:04,400 --> 00:31:07,360 Speaker 1: a whole lot quicker poling, all right, same thing. If 597 00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,000 Speaker 1: you've got four sensors or two sensors that you're looking at, 598 00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:15,200 Speaker 1: there's less um there's less computation load on this on 599 00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:18,680 Speaker 1: the processor. It works faster, not as good as a 600 00:31:18,760 --> 00:31:22,280 Speaker 1: lab scope, not a lab scope substitution, but it is 601 00:31:22,320 --> 00:31:24,960 Speaker 1: a It is a cheap way to try things before 602 00:31:24,960 --> 00:31:27,800 Speaker 1: you bring out the bigger guns. All right. So looking 603 00:31:27,840 --> 00:31:31,400 Speaker 1: at the four speed sensors, maybe you'll see a glitch 604 00:31:31,440 --> 00:31:33,200 Speaker 1: that will give you a sign of hope to say, 605 00:31:33,240 --> 00:31:34,920 Speaker 1: is it and my bed is it's one of the 606 00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:38,240 Speaker 1: front wheel speed sensors um. But you know it may 607 00:31:38,240 --> 00:31:40,160 Speaker 1: not be anything that's causing it to set a fault 608 00:31:40,160 --> 00:31:43,880 Speaker 1: code because it may not see it as an irrational problem, 609 00:31:43,920 --> 00:31:46,080 Speaker 1: all right, but you may see it as a glitch. 610 00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:48,080 Speaker 1: If you put a scope on it, you'll be able 611 00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:51,160 Speaker 1: to measure the size of the signal, the frequency of 612 00:31:51,160 --> 00:31:54,080 Speaker 1: the signal and pick it out probably fairly quickly and 613 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,920 Speaker 1: fairly easily. For all you know, it's lost. It's losing 614 00:31:56,960 --> 00:32:00,160 Speaker 1: its signal um and and that's the reason why are 615 00:32:00,200 --> 00:32:02,760 Speaker 1: having the issue. So you need a lab scope, And uh, 616 00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:04,560 Speaker 1: you need to take them for a ride too, because 617 00:32:05,600 --> 00:32:07,480 Speaker 1: I don't know, they're not trying hard enough, because they 618 00:32:07,480 --> 00:32:09,120 Speaker 1: should know this, they should know that there's gonna be 619 00:32:09,120 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: a lab scope involved. As long as you're willing to 620 00:32:11,080 --> 00:32:13,280 Speaker 1: pay for the diagnostic time. There's no reason why you 621 00:32:13,320 --> 00:32:15,600 Speaker 1: can't get this vehicle fixed. Bill, call me back or 622 00:32:15,600 --> 00:32:19,400 Speaker 1: shoot me an email if you need more n zero 623 00:32:19,440 --> 00:32:30,800 Speaker 1: The car doctors coming back right after this. Gee, I 624 00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:35,240 Speaker 1: I Tom, that's not Halloween music isn't okay? Just making sure. 625 00:32:35,720 --> 00:32:37,280 Speaker 1: Did you notice? You know, I'm driving by the stores. 626 00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:38,840 Speaker 1: You know that they had nothing to do with cars, 627 00:32:38,880 --> 00:32:42,719 Speaker 1: but just casual observations that. Um, the Halloween stores are 628 00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:46,040 Speaker 1: starting to pop up again. The Halloween stuff is in 629 00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:49,520 Speaker 1: the grocery stores already, and uh, I'm waiting for the 630 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:53,880 Speaker 1: Christmas stuff to show up. Eighty some odd degrees outside, Tom, Tom, 631 00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:55,720 Speaker 1: the Christmas stuff was tucked in a corner in the 632 00:32:55,720 --> 00:32:58,920 Speaker 1: Walmart and North Carolina. I saw it. It's there, so 633 00:32:59,160 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: it's coming soon, coming soon to just beyond me. You 634 00:33:03,840 --> 00:33:06,080 Speaker 1: know what I always wonder again, we're off the subject 635 00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:07,560 Speaker 1: here because I do have an email I want to 636 00:33:07,600 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 1: go over. Um. You know what I always wonder the 637 00:33:09,640 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: buyers that you know, for the stores, the bigger stores 638 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,600 Speaker 1: that generate like the seasonal stuff, the Halloween stuff, the 639 00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:18,040 Speaker 1: Thanksgiving stuff, that Christmas stuff, do they actually know what 640 00:33:18,120 --> 00:33:20,200 Speaker 1: time of the year it is? Are they just confused? 641 00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:23,720 Speaker 1: In general, because to them, August is Halloween, and then 642 00:33:23,800 --> 00:33:26,240 Speaker 1: September is Thanksgiving and so on. I wonder if those 643 00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:28,320 Speaker 1: people wanted to a store in January and tried to 644 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,720 Speaker 1: buy a winter hat or a pair of winter shoes. Well, 645 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:33,040 Speaker 1: that's why I wonder, because it doesn't exist. You have 646 00:33:33,080 --> 00:33:38,640 Speaker 1: to buy that stuff six months early, which we live 647 00:33:38,640 --> 00:33:40,360 Speaker 1: in a very confused I'm gonna invent the time machine, 648 00:33:40,400 --> 00:33:42,840 Speaker 1: go back to and live the rest of my life there. 649 00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:46,720 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you right now, come come next May, 650 00:33:47,040 --> 00:33:48,480 Speaker 1: I'm gonna tell you I need to set of snow 651 00:33:48,480 --> 00:33:49,959 Speaker 1: tires from my car, you know, so you can make 652 00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:53,040 Speaker 1: sure you have them by the time. Well, let's listen. 653 00:33:53,480 --> 00:33:54,880 Speaker 1: I hope we're still I hope we're able to drive 654 00:33:54,920 --> 00:33:57,400 Speaker 1: cars by next May. Um, Iron, I miss your weekly 655 00:33:57,520 --> 00:33:59,600 Speaker 1: radio program. I'm not sure why he's starting like this. 656 00:34:00,040 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 1: I'm not able to receive your radio station in my area, 657 00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,560 Speaker 1: so I wonder how he listens to the show. Well, anyway, 658 00:34:04,560 --> 00:34:08,239 Speaker 1: this is from Tom Um no smartphone, limited access to desktop? 659 00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:10,920 Speaker 1: When are you coming back? Okay? Ba bah? How can 660 00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:13,880 Speaker 1: the auto stop on the twenty nineteen Chevy Equinox be 661 00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,320 Speaker 1: eliminated or locked out? It's very annoying and I believe unnecessary. 662 00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:21,359 Speaker 1: Another gimmick at full stopping. YadA YadA, YadA. Yeah. Um, 663 00:34:21,600 --> 00:34:23,960 Speaker 1: the way that auto start stop is being eliminated on 664 00:34:24,000 --> 00:34:25,920 Speaker 1: a lot of cars, Tom, and for everyone else's benefit 665 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:30,080 Speaker 1: is there are companies out there that are manufacturing dongles 666 00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:32,359 Speaker 1: that plug into the O B D two port and 667 00:34:32,480 --> 00:34:36,400 Speaker 1: they are making changes to software programming telling the car 668 00:34:36,440 --> 00:34:39,960 Speaker 1: whether the vehicle's not stopped or stopped or disables it. Um, 669 00:34:40,000 --> 00:34:43,680 Speaker 1: they're doing it through software. I you know people do it. 670 00:34:44,040 --> 00:34:46,040 Speaker 1: Am I a fan of it. I get a little 671 00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:48,319 Speaker 1: nervous on newer vehicles because there's an awful lot of 672 00:34:48,320 --> 00:34:51,320 Speaker 1: serial data going back and forth, and now you're compromising 673 00:34:51,760 --> 00:34:54,359 Speaker 1: and changing something that an engineer wrote. I'd rather use 674 00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:56,400 Speaker 1: the factory override if the vehicle has it. But I 675 00:34:56,480 --> 00:34:58,520 Speaker 1: understand why you're going to go through and do this, 676 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,359 Speaker 1: all right, So that's that's one method of doing it. 677 00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:03,520 Speaker 1: But keep in mind that serial port, that O B 678 00:35:03,640 --> 00:35:05,919 Speaker 1: D two port was not designed as a two way 679 00:35:05,960 --> 00:35:08,600 Speaker 1: communication thing on a full time basis. It was designed 680 00:35:08,760 --> 00:35:11,640 Speaker 1: for diagnostic access. His second question is what's a two 681 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:14,200 Speaker 1: thousand for a buick worth whatever? Somebody wants to give 682 00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: you until the next time I'm running ading in the 683 00:35:16,000 --> 00:35:18,160 Speaker 1: card Doctor, reminding each and every one of you the 684 00:35:18,280 --> 00:35:21,239 Speaker 1: mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. See you
