00:00:31,520 --> 00:00:32,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely.

Speaker 3: Welcome to the radio home of ron Ananian, the Car Doctor.

13
00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:39,239
Speaker 3: Since nineteen ninety one. This is where car owners the

14
00:00:39,280 --> 00:00:43,600
Speaker 3: world overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair.

15
00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 3: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up

16
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:50,080

Speaker 1: Are open, but I am here to take your call

18
00:00:52,200 --> 00:00:54,640
Speaker 1: at eight five five five six ninety nine hundred and

19
00:00:54,720 --> 00:00:56,560
Speaker 1: now hee.

20
00:00:58,240 --> 00:00:58,600
Speaker 3: Running.

21
00:00:59,400 --> 00:01:01,920
Speaker 1: You know how cars have changed. I don't remember we

22
00:01:01,960 --> 00:01:04,960
Speaker 1: getting or we're having as many recalls and notices and

23
00:01:05,560 --> 00:01:08,800
Speaker 1: car fires. Where car fires predominant in the sixties, seventies

24
00:01:08,840 --> 00:01:10,400
Speaker 1: and eighties. I don't remember. As a kid growing up,

25
00:01:10,520 --> 00:01:11,960
Speaker 1: I was supposed to talk about this last hour, I

26
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,080
Speaker 1: didnt from the Associated Press Fort's telling owners of more

27
00:01:14,120 --> 00:01:17,000
Speaker 1: than one hundred and forty thousand SUVs to park them

28
00:01:17,000 --> 00:01:19,000
Speaker 1: outside because they catch fire even when the engines are

29
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:22,840
Speaker 1: turned off. The company's recalling certain Lincoln MKC SUVs from

30
00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,440
Speaker 1: twenty fifteen to twenty nineteen. Ford says a short circuit

31
00:01:25,440 --> 00:01:28,600
Speaker 1: can develop in the twelve vault battery monitor sensor overheat

32
00:01:28,600 --> 00:01:31,320
Speaker 1: and causing the engine compartment to fire. A cause of

33
00:01:31,319 --> 00:01:33,600
Speaker 1: an engine compartment firewall parked or in motion. By the way,

34
00:01:33,600 --> 00:01:35,600
Speaker 1: you know, I tell you this not because listen, I'd

35
00:01:35,600 --> 00:01:37,920
Speaker 1: still own a Ford. I would. I think it's a

36
00:01:37,920 --> 00:01:39,959
Speaker 1: great product. But I'm just telling you this. If you

37
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:41,319
Speaker 1: own one of these and you don't happen to get

38
00:01:41,319 --> 00:01:43,160
Speaker 1: this recall notice, I don't want see anybody get hurt. So,

39
00:01:43,680 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: but I remember having this many problems with vehicles.

40
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:46,840
Speaker 4: Is it?

41
00:01:46,959 --> 00:01:49,760
Speaker 1: You know? I wonder is it that as computers evolve

42
00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:51,960
Speaker 1: and you know, design more and more and more, do

43
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:55,840
Speaker 1: they you know, unknowingly put problems into the into the vehicle.

44
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,240
Speaker 1: So just but be aware. If you've got a you know,

45
00:01:58,280 --> 00:02:01,520
Speaker 1: a late model Ford MKC fifteen to nineteen, you should

46
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:03,800
Speaker 1: be seeing a recall notice. And you know, let me

47
00:02:03,840 --> 00:02:06,600
Speaker 1: point out too. If anybody thinks they've got a recall

48
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:08,880
Speaker 1: on their vehicle and you want more information, you go

49
00:02:08,919 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: out to NHTSA dot gov. Nitze NHTSA dot gov, and

50
00:02:14,440 --> 00:02:16,680
Speaker 1: you'll come to the screen. You type in the seventeen

51
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:19,639
Speaker 1: digit VIN. The VIN can be found on your vehicle

52
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:23,000
Speaker 1: registration on the title. All right, it's obviously it's on

53
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:26,639
Speaker 1: the vehicle, and just copy that into that VIN box

54
00:02:26,760 --> 00:02:29,280
Speaker 1: and it will bring up automatically if there's any open

55
00:02:29,320 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: recalls on that vehicle. The federal government mandated law a

56
00:02:32,360 --> 00:02:35,400
Speaker 1: couple of years back. Now instead of taking wherever it

57
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:37,600
Speaker 1: was thirty six months, it's now within thirty six hours

58
00:02:37,639 --> 00:02:40,160
Speaker 1: of a recall. Notice that information gets posted right away.

59
00:02:40,760 --> 00:02:42,760
Speaker 1: They've taken it a lot more seriously, especially with the

60
00:02:42,840 --> 00:02:45,280
Speaker 1: Takata airbag recall of years ago, which I think is

61
00:02:45,320 --> 00:02:49,079
Speaker 1: still ongoing, probably go on forever. You know, they want

62
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:51,359
Speaker 1: people to be aware of what's going on. So just

63
00:02:51,600 --> 00:02:54,760
Speaker 1: just some food food for thought. Let's get over to

64
00:02:54,800 --> 00:02:58,280
Speaker 1: Fred and Virginia. Who wants to talk about the Pocono Racetrack. Fred,

65
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,359
Speaker 1: Welcome to the car Doctor, sir, what's going on you?

66
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,360
Speaker 5: Thanks for taking my call wonderful show. I listened to

67
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,000
Speaker 5: it just about every Saturday.

68
00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:07,520
Speaker 2: I'd love to go.

69
00:03:08,160 --> 00:03:10,280
Speaker 5: It's a little bit of a long hall for me.

70
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,960
Speaker 5: But as I spoke to whoever interviewed me, I've been

71
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 5: going to that track on and off for over eight years.

72
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,840
Speaker 5: I remember when it was boiler boiler plate on the walls.

73
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 5: I remember when Indy cars raced there and then they

74
00:03:24,960 --> 00:03:27,639
Speaker 5: refused to run because they said the speeds were too

75
00:03:27,720 --> 00:03:32,000
Speaker 5: high for them. I was up there. Bobby Allison hit

76
00:03:32,040 --> 00:03:35,080
Speaker 5: the wall and turn turn one, I think on the

77
00:03:35,160 --> 00:03:40,360
Speaker 5: second lap, pretty much ended his career. Saw Dale Earnhardt

78
00:03:40,440 --> 00:03:43,960
Speaker 5: win a couple of times. Wonderful track. You don't see

79
00:03:44,040 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 5: much going down the back straight away, but it's a

80
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:51,760
Speaker 5: fun track. I actually drove it. My ex wife gave

81
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 5: that to me with some group up there. I don't

82
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,280
Speaker 5: know if they're still there, and I did six laps

83
00:03:57,920 --> 00:04:01,080
Speaker 5: around there, following a professional around. I think they said

84
00:04:01,080 --> 00:04:03,520
Speaker 5: I hit about one hundred and sixty Wow down the

85
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:04,120
Speaker 5: straight away.

86
00:04:04,120 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 1: Wow.

87
00:04:04,640 --> 00:04:05,280
Speaker 6: It was cool.

88
00:04:05,480 --> 00:04:05,680
Speaker 1: Yeah.

89
00:04:05,920 --> 00:04:09,200
Speaker 5: Ever, if you like that stuff, and if they still

90
00:04:09,240 --> 00:04:11,760
Speaker 5: have it, man, I think, of course two three hundred dollars,

91
00:04:11,800 --> 00:04:15,200
Speaker 5: maybe it's more now. It was a great experience.

92
00:04:15,440 --> 00:04:18,839
Speaker 1: Yeah, I actually have a certificate to go do that.

93
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:21,719
Speaker 1: I have not done that yet. My schedule doesn't allow

94
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:24,160
Speaker 1: me much spare time, which I'm trying to correct. That's

95
00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:26,560
Speaker 1: on me. But yeah, I can imagine. I can imagine. Well,

96
00:04:26,640 --> 00:04:27,960
Speaker 1: let me say it like this, I can imagine what

97
00:04:28,000 --> 00:04:29,760
Speaker 1: it's like to go fast. Legitimately, that's got to be

98
00:04:29,760 --> 00:04:31,560
Speaker 1: a whole lot easier than looking over your shoulder all

99
00:04:31,560 --> 00:04:32,400
Speaker 1: the time.

100
00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:33,359
Speaker 6: You know.

101
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:37,520
Speaker 5: So you know the thing is that they pretty much

102
00:04:37,520 --> 00:04:39,320
Speaker 5: set the cars up exactly like it.

103
00:04:39,400 --> 00:04:39,560
Speaker 7: Now.

104
00:04:39,600 --> 00:04:42,400
Speaker 5: I did this about ten years ago, but they set

105
00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:45,039
Speaker 5: them up just about like a NASCAR car. You got

106
00:04:45,080 --> 00:04:49,760
Speaker 5: fire extinguishers, five point harness. They give you a fire suit,

107
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,400
Speaker 5: they give you a helmet. Going down a straight away,

108
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,640
Speaker 5: you don't you don't think you're doing more than sixty

109
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:59,560
Speaker 5: or seventy. The way they're built, it's the turns when

110
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,320
Speaker 5: and you follow, and what they do. You follow One

111
00:05:03,360 --> 00:05:06,320
Speaker 5: of the professionals and they just said, they said, if he.

112
00:05:06,360 --> 00:05:07,360
Speaker 2: Goes low, you go low.

113
00:05:07,440 --> 00:05:10,360
Speaker 5: Up he goes hi, you go high. And so they

114
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,919
Speaker 5: have cones out when you're supposed to start to lift

115
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 5: or to break, and he's going right past the cones

116
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:19,240
Speaker 5: and I'm saying, man, this turn's coming up. But they're

117
00:05:19,320 --> 00:05:22,000
Speaker 5: set up so good. You know, you do make the turn,

118
00:05:22,080 --> 00:05:25,400
Speaker 5: but he goes about ten or twelve miles an hour

119
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:29,120
Speaker 5: faster each lap. And they said, if you can't keep up,

120
00:05:29,160 --> 00:05:31,880
Speaker 5: that's fine, but if you can, and I.

121
00:05:31,880 --> 00:05:32,359
Speaker 7: Did, I was.

122
00:05:32,400 --> 00:05:34,359
Speaker 5: I said, I'm going to keep up if it kills me.

123
00:05:34,480 --> 00:05:37,320
Speaker 5: So but it was cool. Yeah, if you get the chance,

124
00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,040
Speaker 5: try and make time because you'll like it. I mean,

125
00:05:40,080 --> 00:05:41,000
Speaker 5: it's really cool.

126
00:05:41,160 --> 00:05:43,520
Speaker 1: Fred I enjoyed our conversation. Sir, you sure I can't

127
00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:46,920

Speaker 1: in Virginia. See what's going on here? Sixty eight Corvette Mark?

141
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:14,240
Speaker 1: What are you trying to do?

142
00:06:16,240 --> 00:06:20,839
Speaker 4: I have had this car stored since nineteen eighty seven

143
00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,760
Speaker 4: in my garage. I put it away then, thinking that

144
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,440
Speaker 4: I would you know, I didn't. I never dreamed it

145
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:29,680
Speaker 4: would sit that long. But it's been sitting that long,

146
00:06:30,320 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 4: and I drained the oil out of it and the

147
00:06:32,240 --> 00:06:35,120
Speaker 4: gas out of it. I left a anti freeze in it.

148
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 4: And I'm retired now and I got spare time. I'd

149
00:06:38,520 --> 00:06:40,600
Speaker 4: like to get it running again, but I don't really

150
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:42,880
Speaker 4: know how to approach it. It's been sitting for so long.

151
00:06:43,040 --> 00:06:45,200
Speaker 4: It's never been outside. It stays inside.

152
00:06:45,320 --> 00:06:47,200
Speaker 1: Big big block car, small block.

153
00:06:47,000 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 4: Car, big block four twenty seven.

154
00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:50,440
Speaker 6: Wow.

155
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 4: I've had it since I was nineteen years old.

156
00:06:52,720 --> 00:06:53,000
Speaker 7: Wow.

157
00:06:54,160 --> 00:06:58,000
Speaker 4: Wow, Well, I bought it in nineteen seventy six, second owner.

158
00:06:58,080 --> 00:06:59,800
Speaker 4: I bought it from the original owner. I have all

159
00:06:59,839 --> 00:07:02,000
Speaker 4: the protect the plate and everything for it. Still.

160
00:07:02,160 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 1: Wow. Try tripower car drove it?

161
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:05,640
Speaker 4: What's that?

162
00:07:05,680 --> 00:07:10,160
Speaker 1: Tripower car? Single four barrel, three two barrels. It's okay,

163
00:07:10,640 --> 00:07:11,000
Speaker 1: all right.

164
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,880
Speaker 4: It had a quadriget, but I put a holly eight

165
00:07:12,960 --> 00:07:14,320
Speaker 4: hundred on it. I got it.

166
00:07:14,640 --> 00:07:16,520
Speaker 1: And that's the stuff we did, right, And you probably

167
00:07:16,520 --> 00:07:17,960
Speaker 1: did you throw the quadrigreede away?

168
00:07:19,680 --> 00:07:20,840
Speaker 4: Actually I gave it away.

169
00:07:20,920 --> 00:07:21,160
Speaker 1: Yeah.

170
00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:24,080
Speaker 4: We got another quadriget later from a four to fifty

171
00:07:24,120 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 4: four and put it on there. But you know it

172
00:07:29,520 --> 00:07:31,400
Speaker 4: wasn't the original one. I wish I hadn't given it.

173
00:07:31,640 --> 00:07:33,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, we and we did that stuff. We gave away

174
00:07:33,880 --> 00:07:35,800
Speaker 1: so much of that stuff. We didn't think those days

175
00:07:35,800 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: were ever going to end, right, We just thought it

176
00:07:37,400 --> 00:07:39,520
Speaker 1: was always going to be, you know, summer was going

177
00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:43,320
Speaker 1: to go on forever. I'm concerned about the anti freeze

178
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: being in there for the past, you know, forty years,

179
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:50,600
Speaker 1: you know, because coolant turns the cidic and I'm sure,

180
00:07:50,720 --> 00:07:53,280
Speaker 1: I'm sure it's evaporated to a degree, but I wonder

181
00:07:53,320 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: what's left if.

182
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,040
Speaker 4: They opened up the cap, I can see it. It's

183
00:07:58,000 --> 00:07:59,360
Speaker 4: green wing.

184
00:07:59,440 --> 00:07:59,960
Speaker 1: Yeah it doesn't.

185
00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 4: I just want you to In the seventies, I worked

186
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:07,360
Speaker 4: at a Chevrolet dealership as a mechanic for about a year.

187
00:08:07,800 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 4: So these are cars that I know, or I used

188
00:08:10,960 --> 00:08:11,960
Speaker 4: to know, let's put it that way.

189
00:08:12,080 --> 00:08:13,560
Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, And.

190
00:08:13,640 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 4: I can do what it needs to be done, but

191
00:08:16,920 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 4: you know, it's been sitting so long, I'm wondering if

192
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 4: I should just pull the engine out and overhaul it

193
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:22,400
Speaker 4: or how many miles?

194
00:08:22,480 --> 00:08:24,080
Speaker 1: How many miles were on it when you parked it.

195
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:28,640
Speaker 4: I don't know exactly. It broke at one hundred and

196
00:08:28,720 --> 00:08:32,120
Speaker 4: thirteen thousand, and I'm guessing I probably put another ten

197
00:08:32,240 --> 00:08:34,040
Speaker 4: to fifteen on it, so it's probably got one hundred

198
00:08:34,040 --> 00:08:35,480
Speaker 4: and twenty five on it at least.

199
00:08:35,800 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: So let's think of it like this. First of all,

200
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,760
Speaker 1: what kind of shapes the body in paint wise.

201
00:08:41,640 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 4: Body's in good shape. It needs to be repainted, but

202
00:08:44,400 --> 00:08:47,360
Speaker 4: I had it repainted. The body is in good shape.

203
00:08:47,440 --> 00:08:49,280
Speaker 1: Then I say pull the motor out and I'll tell

204
00:08:49,320 --> 00:08:51,440
Speaker 1: you why. All right, I'll tell I'll tell you why

205
00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:53,840
Speaker 1: for a couple of reasons. Number one, you know, if

206
00:08:53,880 --> 00:08:55,880
Speaker 1: you're going to go through the process of because this

207
00:08:55,960 --> 00:08:57,719
Speaker 1: sounds like you've got a decent amount of money set

208
00:08:57,720 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: aside for a budget, you know, to go through and

209
00:09:00,080 --> 00:09:02,000
Speaker 1: haint the car with the original engine in it. Of

210
00:09:02,160 --> 00:09:07,440
Speaker 1: unknown you know, a condition cool and it's been sitting

211
00:09:07,480 --> 00:09:09,920
Speaker 1: in there. Coolant turns a cidic over time and it

212
00:09:09,960 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: starts to rot things from the inside out. So I'd

213
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,960
Speaker 1: rather have you take the take the engine out, get

214
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: it disassembled, have them, you know, boil the block, clean

215
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:21,199
Speaker 1: things up, you know, make sure it's everything sound, you know,

216
00:09:21,480 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: crack check it. The usual stuff that you would do

217
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: to a to an engine to make sure something this

218
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:30,680
Speaker 1: old is viable. Then get it reassembled, freshen it up, rings, bearings,

219
00:09:30,720 --> 00:09:32,680
Speaker 1: whatever they've got to do. Let them go through the heads,

220
00:09:33,120 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 1: all right, Because gasoline in the mission control systems on

221
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,640
Speaker 1: these engines was very different than what we see today.

222
00:09:39,080 --> 00:09:42,839
Speaker 1: You know, chances I removed it, I had it well,

223
00:09:42,920 --> 00:09:45,640
Speaker 1: but gasoline was so different then. And you know, well

224
00:09:45,840 --> 00:09:48,280
Speaker 1: my and my point is, this was a raw engine.

225
00:09:48,320 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: This was pure engine. This was you know, the mixture

226
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,320
Speaker 1: wasn't as precise as it was on a modern vehicle.

227
00:09:53,720 --> 00:09:53,840
Speaker 6: Uh.

228
00:09:54,080 --> 00:09:56,480
Speaker 1: You know, you start that engine up in a in

229
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,640
Speaker 1: a closed garage to kill you in twenty minutes. You

230
00:09:58,679 --> 00:10:01,400
Speaker 1: start you know, a a modern day vehicle up and

231
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:03,160
Speaker 1: then closed garage and it will get your stoned in

232
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,760
Speaker 1: twenty minutes. Is a very big difference, you know, in

233
00:10:05,880 --> 00:10:07,840
Speaker 1: terms of that. So I say pull the motor this way.

234
00:10:07,840 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 1: At least you know what you got when you're done,

235
00:10:09,840 --> 00:10:12,880
Speaker 1: all right, you're gonna get the paint work done, you know,

236
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: and then go through the rest of the drive line,

237
00:10:16,040 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: you know, transmission differential, look at the suspension, look at

238
00:10:19,120 --> 00:10:23,160
Speaker 1: all the rubber components. Fortunately, this is a catalog car.

239
00:10:23,720 --> 00:10:27,280
Speaker 1: The majority of these parts are still available. The question

240
00:10:27,559 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: is you've got to look at the quality of it,

241
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:33,199
Speaker 1: all right, and that's going to take some education out

242
00:10:33,240 --> 00:10:35,840
Speaker 1: on the forums talking to guys. You know, a lot

243
00:10:35,880 --> 00:10:38,760
Speaker 1: of guys have restored these cars. What works, what doesn't.

244
00:10:39,200 --> 00:10:42,160
Speaker 1: I think the hardest part is going to be to

245
00:10:42,320 --> 00:10:45,280
Speaker 1: find someone that will do that engine and do it properly.

246
00:10:45,920 --> 00:10:49,560
Speaker 4: All right, what do you think. I'm sure that's at

247
00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:51,559
Speaker 4: least a ten thousand dollars job, isn't it.

248
00:10:52,240 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 1: I would think. So, you know, we have a regular

249
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:58,280
Speaker 1: We have a regular caller, Brian, who owns a machine

250
00:10:58,320 --> 00:11:00,559
Speaker 1: shop down that way, and I I can't think of

251
00:11:00,640 --> 00:11:02,760
Speaker 1: the name of the shop. It escapes me at the moment.

252
00:11:02,800 --> 00:11:05,920
Speaker 1: But he's in Virginia. You're in Virginia, right, Yeah, he's

253
00:11:06,000 --> 00:11:08,480
Speaker 1: somewhere down there in Virginia. Maybe he'll call in, maybe

254
00:11:08,520 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 1: he'll shoot me an email. And Brian, if you want

255
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:13,120
Speaker 1: to take on this job, I can make arrangements for

256
00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:14,839
Speaker 1: you two to meet and you can talk about it.

257
00:11:15,960 --> 00:11:18,680
Speaker 1: My indications of Brian, I've never met the gentleman personally,

258
00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: but my indications and what I feel about him in

259
00:11:21,400 --> 00:11:23,439
Speaker 1: just my conversation with him is he'll take the time,

260
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: he'll do it right and make sure the job is

261
00:11:26,040 --> 00:11:28,240
Speaker 1: what it's supposed to be. And I think that's that's

262
00:11:28,360 --> 00:11:30,839
Speaker 1: that's what you're looking for. You're looking for someone that's

263
00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:34,920
Speaker 1: gonna that's gonna sweat the details. So you know, let's

264
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:40,320
Speaker 1: do this. Shoot me an email Mark Ron at cardoctorshow

265
00:11:40,400 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: dot com and let's see if Brian chimes in here

266
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:47,080
Speaker 1: with an email to me. He's got my email address.

267
00:11:47,120 --> 00:11:49,240
Speaker 1: He listens to the show on a semi regular basis,

268
00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, maybe we can connect you with him.

269
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:54,000
Speaker 1: I know there's a waiting list form, which I always

270
00:11:54,040 --> 00:11:57,520
Speaker 1: take as a good sign. Right, and if anybody else

271
00:11:57,559 --> 00:12:00,360
Speaker 1: has any recommendations for Mark a machine up in the

272

294
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,760
Speaker 7: something for me to look out for and to be

295
00:13:31,840 --> 00:13:32,160
Speaker 7: aware of.

296
00:13:32,440 --> 00:13:36,520
Speaker 1: How often you doing oil changes, Harold, Well.

297
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:41,640
Speaker 7: Every three thousand or thirty five hundred, and I asked

298
00:13:41,720 --> 00:13:42,880
Speaker 7: them to put in uh.

299
00:13:46,360 --> 00:13:49,959
Speaker 1: Full full synthetic, Okay. And then do you do do

300
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:51,480
Speaker 1: you have a do you have a time interval?

301
00:13:51,559 --> 00:13:56,040
Speaker 7: There. You know, no, because I don't drive it very much.

302
00:13:56,120 --> 00:13:58,200
Speaker 7: It's only got fifty four thousand miles on.

303
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:02,320
Speaker 1: It, Okay, so you know I like the three thousand

304
00:14:02,320 --> 00:14:03,920
Speaker 1: and thirty five hundred. I almost tell you i'd go

305
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:06,880
Speaker 1: four thousand because you're never going to hit it anyway,

306
00:14:06,920 --> 00:14:10,840
Speaker 1: but I would do it. Every six months. Condensation forms

307
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:13,720
Speaker 1: inside of an engine. I see it all the time.

308
00:14:14,240 --> 00:14:14,520
Speaker 7: You know what.

309
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: The hot rod's got fifty two hundred miles on it,

310
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 1: it's eleven years old. I change the oil twice a season.

311
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: Part of it's me being a little over the top,

312
00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,920
Speaker 1: but a lot of it's because when I start the

313
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,480
Speaker 1: season out, I give it a fresh oil change, and

314
00:14:29,520 --> 00:14:31,440
Speaker 1: then about two thirds of the way through of cruising,

315
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,040
Speaker 1: I'll change the oil one more time. You know, maybe

316
00:14:34,080 --> 00:14:36,160
Speaker 1: it's gone a thousand mile. I hasn't even gone that.

317
00:14:36,160 --> 00:14:40,880
Speaker 1: It's gone five hundred miles, and you know it's it's

318
00:14:41,200 --> 00:14:43,040
Speaker 1: you know, just because I want to be sure. But

319
00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:46,680
Speaker 1: on a vehicle like that, I've seen it where in

320
00:14:46,800 --> 00:14:48,480
Speaker 1: the spring, when I go to change the oil for

321
00:14:48,560 --> 00:14:51,920
Speaker 1: that time in the beginning, there is droplets of moisture

322
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,600
Speaker 1: inside the valve cover the oil come out. It's discolored,

323
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,400
Speaker 1: and that's just from sitting. Condensation hurts. So think about

324
00:14:58,440 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 1: doing it every six months, regardless of mileage. All right,

325
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:05,120
Speaker 1: Oil to me is still the cheapest thing you can

326
00:15:05,160 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: do to a vehicle. Plus it gives it the opportunity.

327
00:15:08,360 --> 00:15:10,240
Speaker 1: You know, it's now ten years old, your car is

328
00:15:10,320 --> 00:15:14,120
Speaker 1: ten years old. It gives a trained mechanic the opportunity

329
00:15:14,200 --> 00:15:17,280
Speaker 1: to look that vehicle over and advise you. And you know,

330
00:15:17,480 --> 00:15:19,760
Speaker 1: obviously you trust these guys you've got You've got a

331
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:22,200
Speaker 1: good relationship with them. Ten years later, you're still bringing

332
00:15:22,240 --> 00:15:24,000
Speaker 1: your car to the place you probably bought it from.

333
00:15:24,320 --> 00:15:28,080
Speaker 1: I'm guessing, but I'm assuming, right, And you know, it's

334
00:15:28,200 --> 00:15:30,200
Speaker 1: it's they know who you are. When they see Harold

335
00:15:30,280 --> 00:15:32,280
Speaker 1: come in with his thirteen, f one and fifty, they go, hey,

336
00:15:32,320 --> 00:15:35,040
Speaker 1: it's Harold. How can we help them today? How can

337
00:15:35,080 --> 00:15:38,360
Speaker 1: we watch out for him today? You know, it's it's

338
00:15:38,440 --> 00:15:40,480
Speaker 1: I try to believe the goods there in people. I think.

339
00:15:41,160 --> 00:15:43,960
Speaker 1: I think that's just part of the process, you know.

340
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 7: But at this point, go ahead, I have one I

341
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:50,240
Speaker 7: have one more question for you.

342
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:50,720
Speaker 1: Go ahead.

343
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 7: The last time I was in I was expecting a

344
00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 7: auto transmission fluid change.

345
00:16:02,520 --> 00:16:03,160
Speaker 1: Do do.

346
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 7: At fifty four or fifty three thousand miles, And the

347
00:16:09,280 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 7: manager told me no, we're good for one hundred thousand,

348
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:16,800
Speaker 7: and ask a question, well, do you pull the old

349
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:20,440
Speaker 7: pen and change the filter and he said no, we

350
00:16:21,080 --> 00:16:24,440
Speaker 7: we suck it out from the tube or whatever, and

351
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 7: that's supposed to clean everything out. I want your thoughts

352
00:16:28,840 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 7: on that.

353
00:16:29,360 --> 00:16:29,680
Speaker 2: I liked.

354
00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,520
Speaker 1: I like dropping a pan, all right if I can.

355
00:16:32,960 --> 00:16:35,520
Speaker 1: I like dropping a pin. I get to see any particulate.

356
00:16:35,600 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: I get to see if there's anything in the pan.

357
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:41,000
Speaker 1: And I'll change a filter, all right, you know, if

358
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:42,880
Speaker 1: it's if it's easy access, if I have to take

359
00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: half the car apart, depending upon what it is. Afore

360
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 1: transit comes to mind one of the worst transmissions to service.

361
00:16:48,600 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: It's darn near and possible the way it's designed. You know,

362
00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:53,960
Speaker 1: we'll do a fluid exchange. I like the idea of

363
00:16:54,080 --> 00:16:56,600
Speaker 1: dropping a pan, changing a filter if someone wants to

364
00:16:56,640 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: pay the freight and it's reasonably accessible, and and then

365
00:17:00,280 --> 00:17:04,000
Speaker 1: doing a fluid exchange. Absolutely the way to go, all right,

366
00:17:04,200 --> 00:17:06,080
Speaker 1: Absolutely the way to go. I disagree with the one

367
00:17:06,119 --> 00:17:08,040
Speaker 1: hundred thousand mile mark. I would do it as it

368
00:17:08,119 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: approaches the fifty sixty thousand mile mark. You know, I

369
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,000
Speaker 1: want to change fluid when it's clean. I want to

370
00:17:13,119 --> 00:17:15,880
Speaker 1: change fluid before it gets dirty. I want to change

371
00:17:15,920 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: fluid before it breaks down and has the ability to get,

372
00:17:19,160 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: you know, in there and do some damage. You know,

373
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: I don't want to do I don't want to do

374
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:27,800
Speaker 1: what my grandfather did, all right, my grandfather. I remember

375
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,640
Speaker 1: the day he told my father. I was twelve years old,

376
00:17:29,680 --> 00:17:31,359
Speaker 1: and I looked at my father and I was like, what,

377
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,480
Speaker 1: I might have been eleven. I think my dad was

378
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:35,480
Speaker 1: gone when I was twelve, might have been eleven. And

379
00:17:35,560 --> 00:17:37,240
Speaker 1: my father would always tell the story, and I remember

380
00:17:37,280 --> 00:17:39,320
Speaker 1: it when I was there. My grandfather was in his

381
00:17:39,440 --> 00:17:42,280
Speaker 1: late seventies, probably seventy seven seventy eight, and he turned

382
00:17:42,280 --> 00:17:43,479
Speaker 1: to my father one day and said, I think I'm

383
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:47,159
Speaker 1: gonna give up cigarettes. They might kill me. You know,

384
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: I don't want to wait that long. I don't want

385
00:17:50,720 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: to wait till I have to think about that. I

386
00:17:52,320 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: want that fluid out of there. Keep in mind, it's

387
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:58,840
Speaker 1: not a question of just fluid breaking down and getting dark.

388
00:17:58,920 --> 00:18:03,080
Speaker 1: But there are edited packages in transmissions fluids today. You

389
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:04,080
Speaker 1: know FOURD among them.

390
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:04,400
Speaker 6: LV.

391
00:18:04,600 --> 00:18:07,159
Speaker 1: This is probably LV fluid. I like the idea of

392
00:18:07,320 --> 00:18:10,560
Speaker 1: changing it before that additive package gets worn out. So,

393
00:18:10,960 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: as far as I'm concerned, you've got a ten year

394
00:18:13,359 --> 00:18:17,920
Speaker 1: old vehicle. If it's wet, I would change it. Coolant

395
00:18:18,280 --> 00:18:23,600
Speaker 1: trans break diff fluids transfer case. If it's wet, it's gone.

396
00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:25,960
Speaker 1: And it gives them the opportunity to look, do they

397
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,960
Speaker 1: see anything else failing or about to fail? And it

398
00:18:29,080 --> 00:18:30,800
Speaker 1: keeps you on top of your game. Think of it

399
00:18:30,880 --> 00:18:33,520
Speaker 1: as maintenance long term, so you can drive this truck

400
00:18:33,560 --> 00:18:36,199
Speaker 1: another ten years. I appreciate the call, Harold, you'd be well,

401
00:18:36,200 --> 00:18:37,119
Speaker 1: I'm running ending in the car.

402
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:37,480
Speaker 6: Doctor.

403
00:18:37,600 --> 00:19:01,920
Speaker 1: We'll be back right after this. Look back run in

404
00:19:02,040 --> 00:19:04,399
Speaker 1: cardoct Let's get over and talk to Greg and Florida

405
00:19:04,560 --> 00:19:06,760
Speaker 1: follow up ninety six caprice. Greg, where do you stand

406
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:08,119
Speaker 1: with this car? Refresh our memories?

407
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:12,920
Speaker 2: Yeah, okay, so you well I called. I told you

408
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 2: the check engine like comes on intermittently, but it runs

409
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 2: and drives fine. You advised me to get a wiring diagram,

410
00:19:22,640 --> 00:19:26,000
Speaker 2: and I have. I actually bought a Chilton manual with

411
00:19:26,160 --> 00:19:31,399
Speaker 2: the wiring diagrams, and I actually also I took it

412
00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:34,720
Speaker 2: by one of the big chain auto parts that does

413
00:19:34,880 --> 00:19:37,399
Speaker 2: pre testing and they couldn't get a code on it.

414
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 2: It's a nineteen ninety five Caprice. But anyhow, I'm shopping

415
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:49,440
Speaker 2: around for a multi tester right now to follow some

416
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,480
Speaker 2: of the test procedures that are in the chilterns. But

417
00:19:53,720 --> 00:19:56,919
Speaker 2: I forgot to mention when I talked to you before.

418
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:01,600
Speaker 2: It every once in a while at idles rough, but

419
00:20:01,720 --> 00:20:04,800
Speaker 2: it only lasts like five or ten seconds, and it

420
00:20:04,920 --> 00:20:08,240
Speaker 2: clears up and it runs fine. So I guess that

421
00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:16,600
Speaker 2: might possibly indicate where to check first, possibly or check engine?

422
00:20:16,720 --> 00:20:18,120
Speaker 1: Is the check engine light on now?

423
00:20:19,960 --> 00:20:20,440
Speaker 3: Not now?

424
00:20:21,560 --> 00:20:24,040
Speaker 2: It comes on and it goes off, And I drove

425
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:26,399
Speaker 2: it the other day and it didn't even come on

426
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 2: at all on a twenty mile trip.

427
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:31,080
Speaker 1: So when they try to connect to this to skin

428
00:20:31,200 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 1: it is this. Do you know did they say anything

429
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,240
Speaker 1: about is this an OBD two or an OBD one? Vehicle?

430
00:20:37,400 --> 00:20:38,640
Speaker 1: Ninety five is a tough year.

431
00:20:38,720 --> 00:20:43,160
Speaker 2: It can be either or right, Yeah, it's OBD one.

432
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,960
Speaker 2: You told me to look for the dragging. I found

433
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:47,160
Speaker 2: it OBD one.

434
00:20:47,280 --> 00:20:52,399
Speaker 1: It's a rectangular it's a rectangular connector not a trapezoid. Yes, okay,

435
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:55,080
Speaker 1: all right. So they didn't have the ability to pull

436
00:20:55,160 --> 00:20:56,200
Speaker 1: codes out of that did.

437
00:20:56,119 --> 00:21:00,439
Speaker 2: They Uh, they hooked up to it and try twice

438
00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:01,600
Speaker 2: and couldn't get anything.

439
00:21:01,720 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: Okay, So the trick here is that you're gonna find

440
00:21:07,280 --> 00:21:09,159
Speaker 1: the next time the light comes on. It depends on

441
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:11,360
Speaker 1: how much time passes in between the time it goes

442
00:21:11,440 --> 00:21:13,680
Speaker 1: off and the time you get to connect the tool

443
00:21:13,760 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: to it. I would tell you, yeah, you want to

444
00:21:16,040 --> 00:21:18,760
Speaker 1: go out and buy it. I'm sure they're cheap enough.

445
00:21:20,880 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 1: Cheap enough to buy an OBD one scan tool up

446
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:26,600
Speaker 1: on eBay, grab something, grab a snap on brick is

447
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:28,720
Speaker 1: what we used to call the MT twenty five hundred.

448
00:21:28,720 --> 00:21:30,200
Speaker 1: They're cheap enough. I see them up there for a

449
00:21:30,240 --> 00:21:32,560
Speaker 1: couple of three four hundred bucks all the time. Make

450
00:21:32,600 --> 00:21:35,000
Speaker 1: sure it's got the right adapters for you. But I'll

451
00:21:35,040 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: actually have troubleshooting cartridges and explain some of the tips

452
00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:40,879
Speaker 1: and theory of the day. And you know, stuff's now

453
00:21:41,000 --> 00:21:44,800
Speaker 1: forty years old, but it's just good to have, all right.

454
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 1: As far as what other type of meter are you

455
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:52,240
Speaker 1: looking for or was it about a scan tool the

456
00:21:52,280 --> 00:21:52,840
Speaker 1: first part.

457
00:21:52,720 --> 00:21:58,040
Speaker 2: Of your question a digital multimeter. I'm looking shopping around

458
00:21:58,160 --> 00:22:01,080
Speaker 2: to get to check the sensors.

459
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 7: As for the.

460
00:22:03,480 --> 00:22:06,960
Speaker 1: So you know one of the better. Fluke eighty eight

461
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,200
Speaker 1: is a great multimeter, not cheap. The one thing I

462
00:22:10,240 --> 00:22:11,960
Speaker 1: don't like about a Fluke eighty eight is if you're

463
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,360
Speaker 1: doing a current draw test, they seem to be sensitive

464
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,080
Speaker 1: to popping the fuse. I think it's a bad design.

465
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:20,760
Speaker 1: A lot of guys out there, myself included, we've modified

466
00:22:20,800 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: the back of the meter where we'll actually put a

467
00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:25,240
Speaker 1: different style fuse in the back. We just open it up,

468
00:22:25,720 --> 00:22:28,040
Speaker 1: do a little surgery and come up with an auxiliary

469
00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: external fuse holder. And it's a lot cheaper than the

470
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,760
Speaker 1: one they've got. Does it meet all their electrical specs?

471
00:22:33,840 --> 00:22:35,400
Speaker 1: I don't know, but it works. It's a lot better

472
00:22:35,440 --> 00:22:37,120
Speaker 1: than having to buy and replace a fuse and take

473
00:22:37,160 --> 00:22:39,879
Speaker 1: half the meter report to get to it. That being said,

474
00:22:40,359 --> 00:22:44,240
Speaker 1: the commentary about the rough running maybe a totally separate issue.

475
00:22:44,800 --> 00:22:47,600
Speaker 1: Do you notice it in damp conditions? Do you notice

476
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:51,119
Speaker 1: it at random? Or can you put a finger on it?

477
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:53,399
Speaker 1: As to when and how it exactly happens.

478
00:22:55,040 --> 00:23:01,760
Speaker 2: It's usually right shortly after startup. I can't recall whether

479
00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:05,200
Speaker 2: it's on cold stars. I think it happens whether it's

480
00:23:05,240 --> 00:23:06,000
Speaker 2: hord or cold.

481
00:23:06,320 --> 00:23:10,000
Speaker 1: All right, this is a this is a ninety five Caprice.

482
00:23:10,080 --> 00:23:13,639
Speaker 1: What engines in this greg small block Chevy? Where's the distributor?

483
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: Is the distributor under the water pumper? Isn't in the

484
00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:16,639
Speaker 1: back of the motor?

485
00:23:17,720 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 2: Yeah, it's under the water pump.

486
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,400
Speaker 1: Okay. So this is the Corvette LT one motor.

487
00:23:22,760 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 2: Actually, let's say four point three.

488
00:23:25,200 --> 00:23:28,840
Speaker 1: Okay, So this is the V six, Oh boy, No.

489
00:23:29,000 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 2: It's a V eight one point three V Okay, this

490
00:23:31,440 --> 00:23:32,080
Speaker 2: is the V eight.

491
00:23:32,119 --> 00:23:34,879
Speaker 1: Okay, this is the smaller version of that, all right.

492
00:23:35,000 --> 00:23:37,560
Speaker 1: And the water pump is the distributor is under the

493
00:23:37,640 --> 00:23:42,080
Speaker 1: water pump. So my first question is has the water

494
00:23:42,160 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 1: pump ever been replaced or is it leaking?

495
00:23:46,600 --> 00:23:46,719
Speaker 6: Uh?

496
00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:50,040
Speaker 2: Yeah, I've replaced the water pump twice, and I put

497
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 2: a new distributor cap on it.

498
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:55,040
Speaker 1: Okay, see, because you know where I'm going with that, right,

499
00:23:55,119 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: the water pump, the water pump fails and it drips

500
00:23:57,359 --> 00:24:00,200
Speaker 1: right onto the distributor and then that gets inside the

501
00:24:01,520 --> 00:24:06,480
Speaker 1: distributor assembly itself and causes an issue. So yeah, there's

502
00:24:06,520 --> 00:24:09,280
Speaker 1: a lot going on here, all right. I would at

503
00:24:09,400 --> 00:24:12,080
Speaker 1: least want to take a look inside the distributor cap.

504
00:24:12,119 --> 00:24:15,399
Speaker 1: Do I see any signs of crossfiring? When that problem occurs.

505
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: When that problem occurs, I wonder if you you know

506
00:24:20,560 --> 00:24:22,720
Speaker 1: what I mean when I say an atomizer bottle, a

507
00:24:22,760 --> 00:24:24,800
Speaker 1: little fish fish bottle, a little white bottle. Fill it

508
00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:29,280
Speaker 1: with some water, yeah, I think, yeah, you know, just

509
00:24:29,320 --> 00:24:32,120
Speaker 1: a spray, just a hand pump spray bottle. And I'm

510
00:24:32,160 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: not telling you to flood the ignition, but I'd be

511
00:24:35,480 --> 00:24:38,159
Speaker 1: curious what kind of shape the ignition wires are in.

512
00:24:38,240 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: You know that this sounds like a misfire stumble from

513
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,880
Speaker 1: your description. The question is is it in the primary

514
00:24:43,960 --> 00:24:46,159
Speaker 1: side or in the secondary side? Is it on the

515
00:24:46,320 --> 00:24:48,920
Speaker 1: high voltage side spark plugs wires? Is it on the

516
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:51,680
Speaker 1: low voltage side the ignite or the optical eye?

517
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:52,520
Speaker 2: And that?

518
00:24:53,080 --> 00:24:55,119
Speaker 1: Do you still have the old distributor.

519
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:59,480
Speaker 2: Of the old cap? Thinks? So I'm pretty sure I've

520
00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,119
Speaker 2: still got no.

521
00:25:01,240 --> 00:25:03,080
Speaker 1: Do you still have the old distributor itself?

522
00:25:04,200 --> 00:25:06,920
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, it's got the original distributor in it.

523
00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:11,919
Speaker 1: Oh okay, see, oh okay, so you only change the cap, right, Okay,

524
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:15,160
Speaker 1: So you know, i'd be curious what the bottom side,

525
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,080
Speaker 1: the inside of the distributor looks like. Does it show

526
00:25:17,080 --> 00:25:19,560
Speaker 1: any signs of moisture? As far as the misfire is concerned.

527
00:25:19,840 --> 00:25:24,000
Speaker 1: But before we go there, all right, if you were

528
00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:28,000
Speaker 1: to take that atomizer bottle and gently miss the wires,

529
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:32,120
Speaker 1: can you get any sort of stumble or misfire out

530
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:35,719
Speaker 1: of it? Could just be secondary breaking down? All right?

531
00:25:36,480 --> 00:25:40,080
Speaker 1: If if you can prove that the ignition wires produce

532
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,479
Speaker 1: no ill effects when they're sprayed with water, gently missed them.

533
00:25:43,720 --> 00:25:45,760
Speaker 1: And you may have to miss the wires with water

534
00:25:45,880 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: before you start it, because the fan's going to blow

535
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:50,879
Speaker 1: water roll over the place, and then start it up.

536
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:54,440
Speaker 1: Does it have a misfire? Does it have a stumble?

537
00:25:54,760 --> 00:25:56,719
Speaker 1: Then at least you know you've got a wire breaking

538
00:25:56,800 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 1: down if you can't produce a secondary misfire missing the wires.

539
00:26:02,520 --> 00:26:03,560
Speaker 1: How old are the plugs?

540
00:26:07,440 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 2: I think the I can't remember if I put plugs

541
00:26:10,560 --> 00:26:11,440
Speaker 2: in it ever or not?

542
00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,720
Speaker 1: All right? How many miles are on it? It's got

543
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:18,639
Speaker 1: sixty eight hundred, all right, so then it's gonna be

544
00:26:18,840 --> 00:26:20,480
Speaker 1: you know, I would at least pull a plug, look

545
00:26:20,560 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 1: at it. What's conditioned? All right? Miss the wires when

546
00:26:24,440 --> 00:26:27,760
Speaker 1: you put the plug wires back on. I would definitely

547
00:26:27,800 --> 00:26:30,000
Speaker 1: make sure you put some dielectric grease in the boot

548
00:26:30,080 --> 00:26:33,400
Speaker 1: to prevent arc over the outside of the plug. All right,

549
00:26:33,760 --> 00:26:35,560
Speaker 1: maybe it's time for a fresh set of plugs. I

550
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,760
Speaker 1: would pull the distributor cap back off. Do you see

551
00:26:37,760 --> 00:26:40,520
Speaker 1: any signs of arcing going on inside of there? And

552
00:26:40,600 --> 00:26:43,040
Speaker 1: then scan for codes. And keep in mind the optical

553
00:26:43,119 --> 00:26:46,440
Speaker 1: eye inside that distributor was very prone to failure and

554
00:26:46,560 --> 00:26:48,760
Speaker 1: a big failure item back in the day, so you

555
00:26:48,840 --> 00:26:50,879
Speaker 1: may want to have to take consider that as a

556
00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:54,840
Speaker 1: possible solution to the stumble. Sounds like it's ignition. It

557
00:26:55,000 --> 00:26:57,520
Speaker 1: usually was. It's just a matter of tracking down. Where

558
00:26:57,840 --> 00:27:00,280
Speaker 1: as far as the check engine light coming on, I said,

559
00:27:00,320 --> 00:27:01,760
Speaker 1: you got to scan it that day to see if

560
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: you can get a fault code out of it. Call

561
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: me back, Greg, you know where to find me. Eight

562
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,480
Speaker 1: five five five six zero nine nine zero zero. I'll

563
00:27:07,480 --> 00:27:24,440
Speaker 1: be back right after this. Hey, hey, hey, round naming

564
00:27:24,480 --> 00:27:27,160
Speaker 1: the card oct list, get right into it, Dan and delaware. Dan,

565
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:29,200
Speaker 1: Oh wait, ma's the three what's going on? Babe?

566
00:27:30,720 --> 00:27:30,920
Speaker 6: Yeah?

567
00:27:30,960 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 5: Hey there.

568
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:35,640
Speaker 6: Yeah, it's an automatic and at random times it'll start

569
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,240
Speaker 6: jumping around the gears. Okay, when it's set in the

570
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,560
Speaker 6: automatic position, it's one. It also has like the manual

571
00:27:43,040 --> 00:27:46,560
Speaker 6: kind of semi manual feature to it up the gears

572
00:27:46,600 --> 00:27:49,480
Speaker 6: to yourself, and it'll do it there as well, but

573
00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:51,440
Speaker 6: not as often as you know when it's in the

574
00:27:51,920 --> 00:27:55,880
Speaker 6: regular drive. So I've been research on it. I guess

575
00:27:55,920 --> 00:27:59,360
Speaker 6: that the transmission control modules have are kind of known

576
00:27:59,440 --> 00:28:02,920
Speaker 6: on that model for the overheating and so forth. So

577
00:28:03,760 --> 00:28:06,280
Speaker 6: I have a top done as I guess, like a

578
00:28:06,320 --> 00:28:08,760
Speaker 6: mid grade scan tool that I put on the car.

579
00:28:09,520 --> 00:28:12,440
Speaker 6: They couldn't pull any codes, but anyway, I took a

580
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 6: chance and I sent off the module too one of

581
00:28:17,040 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 6: the online repair companies. It seemed to get good reviews.

582
00:28:21,560 --> 00:28:24,840
Speaker 6: When I came back, plugged it in and relocated it

583
00:28:25,000 --> 00:28:29,040
Speaker 6: like they suggest, off the transmission. It seems a little better,

584
00:28:29,600 --> 00:28:32,800
Speaker 6: but it's still jumping around the gears. So you know,

585
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:33,119
Speaker 6: if you.

586
00:28:34,880 --> 00:28:38,360
Speaker 1: Yeah, so let's let's let's move it along. So you know,

587
00:28:38,480 --> 00:28:41,200
Speaker 1: obviously you've looked at the connector of the trans control module.

588
00:28:41,280 --> 00:28:43,800
Speaker 1: It's not dirty, it's not corroded, you know. So then

589
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:45,760
Speaker 1: we start to then we start to think about there's

590
00:28:45,800 --> 00:28:49,440
Speaker 1: two solenoids in the trans soolnoid A solnoid B, all right,

591
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 1: and do they draw the same they're identical solenoids, they

592
00:28:53,200 --> 00:28:56,600
Speaker 1: should have the same current draw if you can set

593
00:28:56,640 --> 00:28:59,800
Speaker 1: yourself up to measure that, and if you find one

594
00:28:59,880 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: is drawing more than the other, then you're going to Yeah,

595
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: you've got a problem with either the solenoids or the wiring.

596
00:29:06,040 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: Usually it's the solenoids. Now, when you have the pan

597
00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:12,120
Speaker 1: down to look at the two solenoids, you can also

598
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: run an external wire, just running auxiliary wire because the

599
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:18,320
Speaker 1: wiring has been known to break down as well. It

600
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: goes right up to the trans control module, and you

601
00:29:21,560 --> 00:29:23,320
Speaker 1: know they have issues with that as well. They have

602
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:26,400
Speaker 1: internal harness issues, they have solnoid issues. The fact that

603
00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: you did the trans controller. If this company, and I'm

604
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: not picking on them, I'm just saying from my seat here,

605
00:29:32,080 --> 00:29:35,440
Speaker 1: I can't tell. But if they if they've truly rebuilt it,

606
00:29:36,400 --> 00:29:39,160
Speaker 1: you know, then if we can eliminate the trans control module,

607
00:29:39,240 --> 00:29:41,719
Speaker 1: then likely it's either one of the two solenoids. It's

608
00:29:41,760 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: probably solnoid A, but usually everybody changes both and then

609
00:29:45,720 --> 00:29:48,160
Speaker 1: you might want it. You might want to consider rewiring it.

610
00:29:49,040 --> 00:29:50,840
Speaker 6: Okay, all right, and.

611
00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:51,520
Speaker 1: See what that does.

612
00:29:51,800 --> 00:29:53,680
Speaker 6: Thanks, and I got those tickets.

613
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: It's going to be, yeah, you're getting tickets down. We

614
00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:57,520
Speaker 1: decided we're gonna we're gonna send out to the Poconos

615
00:29:57,840 --> 00:30:00,320
Speaker 1: July twenty third, the Pocono four hundred mixture. You give

616
00:30:00,360 --> 00:30:03,400
Speaker 1: Tom your information and this should be a good time. Sure,

617
00:30:03,920 --> 00:30:04,360
Speaker 1: real quick.

618
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:06,160
Speaker 6: One other question if you got him. I've got a

619
00:30:06,240 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 6: two thousand and seven MKZ with a three point five

620
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:11,360
Speaker 6: liter in it. It has the internal water pump, right,

621
00:30:12,320 --> 00:30:14,360
Speaker 6: it's got about one hundred and fifty thousand miles on it.

622
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,800
Speaker 6: I'm not noticing any coolant lakes. Is that? Is that

623
00:30:17,880 --> 00:30:21,160
Speaker 6: a car that you would recommend doing preventive maintenance?

624
00:30:21,480 --> 00:30:24,400
Speaker 1: Yeah, because you know that pump and when you do

625
00:30:24,520 --> 00:30:26,120
Speaker 1: the pump, you're gonna do the pump. You're gonna do

626
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,800
Speaker 1: the chains. You know you're gonna you're gonna do the

627
00:30:28,840 --> 00:30:32,360
Speaker 1: whole shmeir all right, And I would recommend, you know,

628
00:30:32,440 --> 00:30:35,360
Speaker 1: good quality parts, forward stuff. But I would also I

629
00:30:35,400 --> 00:30:37,960
Speaker 1: would also, you know, schedule that job out. The last

630
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,080
Speaker 1: I heard, there was a shortage of timing change for that.

631
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:43,480
Speaker 1: I know one fell in particular, he's waiting for chains.

632
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 6: So yeah, it's it's well, any any particular any particular

633
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,840
Speaker 6: malage point. Did they tend to go back.

634
00:30:50,840 --> 00:30:52,960
Speaker 1: Or is it I've seen him at eighty I've seen

635
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,320
Speaker 1: him at two hundred. So you know, it's just it's

636
00:30:56,400 --> 00:30:58,560
Speaker 1: just it's just a dopey design. Whoever would think to

637
00:30:58,600 --> 00:31:00,480
Speaker 1: put a water pump inside of an end? And Ford's

638
00:31:00,560 --> 00:31:02,920
Speaker 1: not the first. Chrysler did it, and Nissan did it,

639
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,720
Speaker 1: and I don't get it. But anyway, you know, it's

640
00:31:05,800 --> 00:31:08,640
Speaker 1: it's never gonna break. So it's it's never gonna break.

641
00:31:08,640 --> 00:31:10,800
Speaker 1: It'll break when it breaks. So Dan, I look forward

653
00:31:50,280 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 8: new listener, uh maybe a couple of months.

654
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: Well, thanks for being with us.

655
00:31:56,360 --> 00:32:00,640
Speaker 8: I love your show. And uh I Babe called to

656
00:32:00,720 --> 00:32:04,840
Speaker 8: talk about that tirod job that you turned down, Okay,

657
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:11,920
Speaker 8: and yeah, you handled that perfectly. My garage is the

658
00:32:12,040 --> 00:32:15,360
Speaker 8: same way. If I tell them, hey, I think this

659
00:32:15,560 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 8: is wrong, they don't take my word for it. They

660
00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,240
Speaker 8: got to check it out first before they do anything.

661
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:26,160
Speaker 1: Yeah, and I think I think we're obligated to you know,

662
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:30,440
Speaker 1: oh absolutely. You know I've said this for years. You

663
00:32:30,520 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: know what your life is in my hands. That's a

664
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,720
Speaker 1: two ton missile you're driving at fifty five miles an hour.

665
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: Not to mention, not to mention the life of the

666
00:32:38,960 --> 00:32:41,440
Speaker 1: people that are around me. I could be riding next

667
00:32:41,480 --> 00:32:44,520
Speaker 1: to you in that vehicle. You know what kind of

668
00:32:44,600 --> 00:32:47,040
Speaker 1: really bothers me about all of this. Bill. To be

669
00:32:47,200 --> 00:32:51,719
Speaker 1: real clear is I don't understand, and nobody can explain

670
00:32:51,800 --> 00:32:53,880
Speaker 1: this to me. And believe me, I am wide open

671
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:57,320
Speaker 1: to listening to answers and ideas. If you're older than

672
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:00,840
Speaker 1: twenty one years of age, all right, and you don't

673
00:33:00,960 --> 00:33:04,320
Speaker 1: have a regular mechanic and you've been driving for thirty years,

674
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:08,080
Speaker 1: where is the problem? What what is the answer to that?

675
00:33:08,480 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: I mean, I realize some of it is, Well, maybe

676
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:12,960
Speaker 1: you're buying a Subaru one year and then you switch

677
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,560
Speaker 1: to Ford in three years. And then Chevy in three years.

678
00:33:15,600 --> 00:33:19,160
Speaker 1: And you're a dealer mechanic person. I get that, all right,

679
00:33:19,280 --> 00:33:21,720
Speaker 1: that makes sense to me. But if you've lived in

680
00:33:21,800 --> 00:33:27,080
Speaker 1: the same same you know, Middletown, USA, same place for

681
00:33:27,200 --> 00:33:29,680
Speaker 1: fifty years, and you keep bouncing around from garage to

682
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:33,040
Speaker 1: garage to garage, how come you can't find the mechanic

683
00:33:33,120 --> 00:33:35,600
Speaker 1: Because there are some real good, honest guys out there.

684
00:33:35,960 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: They're not all bad. It's just like any other business.

685
00:33:39,160 --> 00:33:41,760
Speaker 1: And it's it's you know, I always think of that

686
00:33:41,840 --> 00:33:44,200
Speaker 1: guy who said I went to the doctor and you know, doc,

687
00:33:44,280 --> 00:33:46,760
Speaker 1: I think I'm dying. Why, Well, I touch myself on

688
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,840
Speaker 1: my wrist, my elbow, my forehead, my knee, my back,

689
00:33:50,000 --> 00:33:52,880
Speaker 1: my side, and it hurts all over. Dope, be your

690
00:33:52,920 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 1: fingers broken.

691
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 6: You know.

692
00:33:54,280 --> 00:33:58,680
Speaker 1: They don't realize it's them, you know. It's it's so

693
00:33:59,560 --> 00:34:01,960
Speaker 1: I gets somebody that calls me like that, I think

694
00:34:02,040 --> 00:34:05,920
Speaker 1: the right answer is, and tell me if you agree. Hey,

695
00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:08,480
Speaker 1: Ron my cars, I'm told my car needs tyrods. Can

696
00:34:08,520 --> 00:34:09,879
Speaker 1: I bring it in and have you check it out?

697
00:34:11,840 --> 00:34:12,040
Speaker 3: Yeah?

698
00:34:12,200 --> 00:34:15,840
Speaker 8: That I agree, hundred percent. That's you know, And like

699
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 8: you said about having people's lives in your hands, I

700
00:34:19,560 --> 00:34:23,920
Speaker 8: understand that because I'm an uber driver, right right, and

701
00:34:24,239 --> 00:34:27,880
Speaker 8: I'm driving. I'm driving people every day. I do road trips,

702
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 8: so literally, they put their lives.

703
00:34:30,400 --> 00:34:34,240
Speaker 1: In my hands, right, that's right. That's a big responsibility.

704
00:34:34,280 --> 00:34:39,560
Speaker 8: I have to make sure my car is safe and right.

705
00:34:39,880 --> 00:34:43,640
Speaker 8: And thank god, I've got a good mechanic that doesn't

706
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 8: take my word for it. They check it out and

707
00:34:46,239 --> 00:34:48,879
Speaker 8: they do. They don't do work that doesn't need done,

708
00:34:49,800 --> 00:34:54,360
Speaker 8: and they make sure that whatever's getting work on is

709
00:34:54,480 --> 00:34:57,759
Speaker 8: the actual problem. They don't. Well, okay, we'll try this

710
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:59,800
Speaker 8: and then oh no, that wasn't it.

711
00:35:00,040 --> 00:35:00,560
Speaker 1: Let's try that.

712
00:35:00,960 --> 00:35:01,160
Speaker 6: Yep.

713
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,080
Speaker 1: And that's what I mean. Yeah, that's and that's what

00:35:04,200 --> 00:35:07,120
Speaker 1: I mean. Bill. There's a lot of good mechanics out there. Hey, Bill,
