What will 3 00:00:05,800 --> 00:00:08,879 Speaker 1: that battery cost Grand? And where will that put them 4 00:00:08,920 --> 00:00:11,200 Speaker 1: on the societal scale of being able to make a limium? 5 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:13,280 Speaker 1: You know, those are the things I think about taking. 6 00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:21,640 Speaker 1: The car doctor want's to talk about electric vehicle Jason, 7 00:00:22,079 --> 00:00:24,119 Speaker 1: the floor is yours brother.

Uh, I've 23 00:01:20,600 --> 00:01:25,640 Speaker 1: gotta yeah on Bronco. Yeah, it's got the three F 24 00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:33,280 Speaker 1: one Winzer and uh, the the exhaust has been replaced, 25 00:01:33,360 --> 00:01:37,520 Speaker 1: but the there is a bit of an exhaust rumble 26 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:42,080 Speaker 1: from it and it's coming from the uh the crossover 27 00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:44,000 Speaker 1: pipe for the e g R. You don't like that 28 00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: little tick tick tick tik tik, especially when you start 29 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:51,800 Speaker 1: a called come on, that is a character Well, uh, yeah, 30 00:01:51,880 --> 00:01:54,280 Speaker 1: I know what you're talking about. It's it's not that 31 00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,040 Speaker 1: I had that on my sixty six Sounder bird um 32 00:01:58,120 --> 00:02:02,560 Speaker 1: years ago with the you know, the F E block. 33 00:02:02,760 --> 00:02:06,720 Speaker 1: That was one of the things about the the exhaust manifolds, 34 00:02:07,960 --> 00:02:11,400 Speaker 1: uh could have a leak and it's had like a 35 00:02:12,560 --> 00:02:17,359 Speaker 1: like um like lifters, but it wasn't. Of course, some 36 00:02:18,320 --> 00:02:21,560 Speaker 1: say that that's the engine on indicator, um, you know, 37 00:02:21,639 --> 00:02:24,200 Speaker 1: but that's that's another story. So okay, I'm sorry to 38 00:02:24,200 --> 00:02:28,800 Speaker 1: interrupted ahead. Okay, uh no, this is just like a 39 00:02:28,880 --> 00:02:33,400 Speaker 1: bit of a you know, um it sounds like you 40 00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 1: might like it to sound, but it isn't supposed to 41 00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:45,120 Speaker 1: be that way. Um. So anyway, and well, they actually 42 00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:49,480 Speaker 1: do this more now than they did back then. But 43 00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:55,880 Speaker 1: the engine is actually pushed back into the firewall. Firewall 44 00:02:55,919 --> 00:03:02,520 Speaker 1: surround the engine, right, you can't in the in between. Yeah, 45 00:03:02,639 --> 00:03:05,880 Speaker 1: so I don't know if there's a trick to getting 46 00:03:05,919 --> 00:03:10,320 Speaker 1: that out without taking out the engine. Well, um, and 47 00:03:10,320 --> 00:03:12,280 Speaker 1: this is for everybody's clarity here and correct me if 48 00:03:12,280 --> 00:03:13,920 Speaker 1: I'm wrong, Paul. This is the tube that's in the 49 00:03:13,960 --> 00:03:17,000 Speaker 1: back of the engine, goes between the cylinder heads and 50 00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,480 Speaker 1: there's an air check valve with a hose on it 51 00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,880 Speaker 1: that leads up to the therm act or air pump. 52 00:03:21,919 --> 00:03:28,960 Speaker 1: Correct that I'm not certain on. I had I had 53 00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:37,480 Speaker 1: the the the exhaust system replaced, uh, last fall, and 54 00:03:37,560 --> 00:03:40,960 Speaker 1: after they got it done, they noticed, well is a 55 00:03:40,960 --> 00:03:46,000 Speaker 1: week from somewhere where we miss and they they traced 56 00:03:46,040 --> 00:03:51,520 Speaker 1: it down to this crossover and they pointed out to 57 00:03:51,640 --> 00:03:54,920 Speaker 1: me while it was up on a lift and you 58 00:03:54,920 --> 00:03:57,960 Speaker 1: could see it was rusty and it wasn't really making 59 00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:02,520 Speaker 1: much of a sound then right now, Right, So so 60 00:04:02,600 --> 00:04:05,080 Speaker 1: the question becomes, this is and I'm assuming this is 61 00:04:05,080 --> 00:04:10,560 Speaker 1: a four wheel drive broncho pole. Yeah, so it's it's 62 00:04:10,720 --> 00:04:12,080 Speaker 1: which do you want to pull? Do you want to 63 00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: pull the motor? Do you want to pull the trends, 64 00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,599 Speaker 1: you know, if you if you right, well I understand that, 65 00:04:17,800 --> 00:04:19,960 Speaker 1: but I mean if you can't, if you can't get 66 00:04:20,000 --> 00:04:25,440 Speaker 1: to if you can't gain access to that pipe, all right, 67 00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:28,000 Speaker 1: And before you go and pull this pipe, just make 68 00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: sure you can get a replacement, all right. Uh, you know, 69 00:04:31,279 --> 00:04:33,200 Speaker 1: make sure that you know there's it's we're talking about 70 00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:35,880 Speaker 1: a thirty two year old vehicle here. I'd be online 71 00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:38,200 Speaker 1: with Oillyoto parts. Go out to orallyoto dot com and 72 00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,960 Speaker 1: see if they've got an available replacement part um. But 73 00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 1: that's number one before you try and take this apart. 74 00:04:44,040 --> 00:04:46,080 Speaker 1: Number two. If you can't get arrench. There's two bolts 75 00:04:46,400 --> 00:04:49,800 Speaker 1: holding this in to the back of the head, all right. Now, 76 00:04:49,800 --> 00:04:51,400 Speaker 1: if you look at the front of the motor, there's 77 00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,039 Speaker 1: an accessory bolt hole like where the alternator brackets and 78 00:04:54,040 --> 00:04:56,640 Speaker 1: power steering pump brackets going to the head. It's the 79 00:04:56,680 --> 00:04:58,280 Speaker 1: same hole in the back of the head. So it's 80 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,960 Speaker 1: a it's a pretty hefty bolt, all right. Uh, you know, 81 00:05:02,040 --> 00:05:03,479 Speaker 1: if you can, if you if you can get a 82 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,160 Speaker 1: wrench on that bolt and spin it out, great, all right. 83 00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:08,840 Speaker 1: As long as you've got the clearance, you don't need 84 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:10,400 Speaker 1: much you may have to take the upper intake plan 85 00:05:10,480 --> 00:05:13,039 Speaker 1: them off all right to gain some access, you know, 86 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:15,440 Speaker 1: so you're leaning your you're you're stretched out over the 87 00:05:15,480 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: top of it. You might have some success doing it 88 00:05:18,200 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 1: that way, if memory serves me correct. I either did 89 00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,240 Speaker 1: it one of two ways. Either did it that way 90 00:05:22,279 --> 00:05:24,640 Speaker 1: depending upon the actual year, make model and how much 91 00:05:24,640 --> 00:05:28,839 Speaker 1: accessibility I had. Or we'd pull the trans. And I 92 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,680 Speaker 1: believe we pulled the trans and then we could tilt 93 00:05:30,680 --> 00:05:32,240 Speaker 1: the engine down on the back and we would gain 94 00:05:32,279 --> 00:05:35,320 Speaker 1: just enough access to the bolts as it pivoted again 95 00:05:35,360 --> 00:05:38,360 Speaker 1: depending upon your make model, that we would have access 96 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:41,200 Speaker 1: to that and we would change it then. Um to 97 00:05:41,320 --> 00:05:43,200 Speaker 1: tell you the truth, I remember doing it more by 98 00:05:43,240 --> 00:05:46,000 Speaker 1: the trans method, because it was usually the trans failed 99 00:05:46,480 --> 00:05:49,040 Speaker 1: somewhere around the time that the E g R crossover 100 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:50,840 Speaker 1: too brought it out, and or it was close and 101 00:05:50,880 --> 00:05:52,360 Speaker 1: we'd say, hey, the trans is out. Do you want 102 00:05:52,400 --> 00:05:54,280 Speaker 1: to deal with this now rather than have to come 103 00:05:54,279 --> 00:05:55,760 Speaker 1: back and revisit it in a year, And you know, 104 00:05:55,920 --> 00:06:00,160 Speaker 1: they always said yes, if I remember right. So you know, 105 00:06:00,600 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: now if you find if you find that, you know 106 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:07,680 Speaker 1: the pipe is no longer available. You know, now you've 107 00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:10,400 Speaker 1: just got up. I believe it's a five eighths thread pitch. 108 00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:12,800 Speaker 1: I think it's a five eighths course thread bolt that 109 00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:16,240 Speaker 1: goes into the head and you can just plug it 110 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:18,640 Speaker 1: with a bolt, get a short bolt, thread it in. 111 00:06:18,880 --> 00:06:20,839 Speaker 1: You're done, and you know, disabled that part of your 112 00:06:20,880 --> 00:06:24,000 Speaker 1: mission control. I'm not sure how legal that is, and 113 00:06:24,080 --> 00:06:27,119 Speaker 1: I'll say it up here first, disabling in a mission 114 00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:29,640 Speaker 1: control in a thirty two year old vehicle. But I'm 115 00:06:29,680 --> 00:06:32,200 Speaker 1: also not sure that they care anymore because how many 116 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:35,640 Speaker 1: Broncos are still running around. Um, not that there's a 117 00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:37,480 Speaker 1: mark on I'm not trying to mark the vehicle, but 118 00:06:37,560 --> 00:06:39,520 Speaker 1: I'm just trying to say that. You know, it seems 119 00:06:39,560 --> 00:06:42,720 Speaker 1: as the numbers drop, they worry less about emissions. And 120 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,080 Speaker 1: you know, if my choice was drive the vehicle quiet 121 00:06:46,279 --> 00:06:48,400 Speaker 1: or don't drive it at all, I drive the vehicle 122 00:06:48,480 --> 00:06:50,920 Speaker 1: quiet with a missing e g R TB. It's done 123 00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,920 Speaker 1: every day and it's not affecting the environment from that vehicle. Um. 124 00:06:54,960 --> 00:07:00,360 Speaker 1: You know, modern vehicle different conversation. YEA, an e g 125 00:07:00,640 --> 00:07:04,240 Speaker 1: R is supposed to keep the the temperature of the 126 00:07:04,279 --> 00:07:08,560 Speaker 1: engine down, but it doesn't run hot. Well, what e 127 00:07:08,680 --> 00:07:12,520 Speaker 1: g R does. What e g R does exhaust gas recirculation. 128 00:07:13,200 --> 00:07:17,360 Speaker 1: Is it lowers cylinder temperature all right, by diluting the 129 00:07:17,440 --> 00:07:21,360 Speaker 1: air fuel charge to lower the flash point of the 130 00:07:21,400 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: combustion process. So what we're doing is we're putting we're 131 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 1: putting um. If this is a fireplace instead of dry oak, 132 00:07:29,600 --> 00:07:32,040 Speaker 1: we're putting a bit of a damp piece of wood 133 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: in there to help lower the flame front. So it burns, 134 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,800 Speaker 1: but it burns at a lower point because that reduces 135 00:07:37,840 --> 00:07:45,840 Speaker 1: oxides of nitrogen um, which is a pollutant. That's the 136 00:07:45,080 --> 00:07:50,600 Speaker 1: and that's the textbook explanation. Okay, my my take on 137 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:55,560 Speaker 1: all this is that, uh, it actually lowers your performance 138 00:07:56,080 --> 00:08:03,200 Speaker 1: because you're you're low oring the the flash point. So 139 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:07,080 Speaker 1: it's um. I don't know that. I don't know. Yeah, 140 00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: I don't know if I agree with that. You want 141 00:08:08,960 --> 00:08:11,040 Speaker 1: you want to find out disconnect the vacuum line at 142 00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:14,520 Speaker 1: the g R valve or disconnect the electrical connector. I'm sorry, 143 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 1: this is this has got a three wire electrical connector 144 00:08:16,560 --> 00:08:20,600 Speaker 1: at the g R. Uh. Yeah, it has that and 145 00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,400 Speaker 1: vacuum and has both, right, Okay, I thought it would 146 00:08:24,280 --> 00:08:26,920 Speaker 1: disconnect disconnect them and go for a ROD. I don't 147 00:08:26,920 --> 00:08:28,400 Speaker 1: think you're going to see a difference in the way 148 00:08:28,440 --> 00:08:32,120 Speaker 1: this vehicle runs. I really don't either way. Either way, 149 00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:33,640 Speaker 1: I don't think it's gonna matter. I think this is 150 00:08:33,720 --> 00:08:36,600 Speaker 1: more a matter of you know what, My biggest concern is, 151 00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:38,920 Speaker 1: you've got a leaking e g R pipe right at 152 00:08:38,960 --> 00:08:41,880 Speaker 1: the back of the head, and if the exhaust leak 153 00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:44,400 Speaker 1: gets big enough, you're gonna induce exhaust into the cabin 154 00:08:45,040 --> 00:08:50,080 Speaker 1: and hurt yourself. Yeah. Yeah, I haven't noticed it at all. 155 00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:56,479 Speaker 1: And I'm very sensitive to the smell of exhaust. Uh 156 00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,400 Speaker 1: we're you know, like a cigarette or anything like that, 157 00:08:59,679 --> 00:09:02,520 Speaker 1: and he's driving it in front of me, and he's 158 00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: got a SI he's smoking and his windows down. I 159 00:09:06,280 --> 00:09:12,319 Speaker 1: noticed it. So yeah, so that's how I Yeah, that's 160 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:15,800 Speaker 1: how I'd approached. So it's listen, at the end of 161 00:09:15,880 --> 00:09:18,240 Speaker 1: the day, let's let's leave it here. It's all nuts 162 00:09:18,240 --> 00:09:21,079 Speaker 1: and bolts. If you can get access to them, take 163 00:09:21,160 --> 00:09:24,600 Speaker 1: them out, pull pull the tube. If you can't, then 164 00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:26,480 Speaker 1: the engine of the trans has to come out one 165 00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:29,679 Speaker 1: or the other. There's no magic, there's no mystery. All right, 166 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:34,040 Speaker 1: how many miles were pulling the heads? Well? Yeah, but 167 00:09:35,520 --> 00:09:37,080 Speaker 1: none of it's easy, or you're gonna pull the heads. 168 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:43,840 Speaker 1: How many miles are on this truck? Uh, it's just 169 00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:52,440 Speaker 1: broken in actually barely. Uh, it's got like was like, okay, 170 00:09:52,480 --> 00:09:57,240 Speaker 1: that's not a lot of miles. So you know it's 171 00:09:57,280 --> 00:10:03,079 Speaker 1: been it's been mostly Uh show you know it's right, 172 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,800 Speaker 1: it's probably easier. It's it's realistically easier in my mind 173 00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: to pull the trans in the transfer case as an assembly. 174 00:10:09,640 --> 00:10:11,800 Speaker 1: Find a shop that's got it, because the transfer case 175 00:10:11,880 --> 00:10:13,400 Speaker 1: is the is the mount for the trans if I 176 00:10:13,440 --> 00:10:16,480 Speaker 1: remember right, I don't think the trans hung off the end. 177 00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:18,520 Speaker 1: I think I think the transfer case held them mount 178 00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:20,560 Speaker 1: for the rear of the trans. So if you find 179 00:10:20,600 --> 00:10:23,040 Speaker 1: the right shop and they've got a transfer case mount 180 00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:26,160 Speaker 1: adapt there's still hooked to their trans jack, it's gonna 181 00:10:26,200 --> 00:10:27,880 Speaker 1: be a matter of going in bolting it up. I 182 00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:29,840 Speaker 1: think that's a lot quicker and easier to pull it out. 183 00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,000 Speaker 1: You want to pull the trans apart and reseal it. 184 00:10:32,000 --> 00:10:34,199 Speaker 1: It's thirty two years old. I wouldn't find fault in 185 00:10:34,320 --> 00:10:37,800 Speaker 1: that um and that that might make more sense because 186 00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,600 Speaker 1: why you can still get parts and reseal the trends. 187 00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:43,160 Speaker 1: That might be the idea if it's got any leaks. 188 00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,560 Speaker 1: But you know, to pull the motor Um. I like 189 00:10:46,679 --> 00:10:51,959 Speaker 1: the other way better, but that's just me, all right, kiddo. Yeah, okay, 190 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,800 Speaker 1: all right, thanks a lot, You're very welcome. Pull. Good 191 00:10:53,880 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: luck to you. Zero run any of the car Doctor. 192 00:10:57,400 --> 00:11:06,920 Speaker 1: We're coming back right after. This vehicle not taking you 193 00:11:06,920 --> 00:11:08,920 Speaker 1: where you want to go. Well call Ron. He's the 194 00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:11,199 Speaker 1: expert at making your vehicle take you where you needed. 195 00:11:11,640 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: Five five zero zero zero and now back to rot Hey. 196 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,200 Speaker 1: Next up Joe from Pennsylvania, Chevy loomited. Joe, Welcome to 197 00:11:20,200 --> 00:11:23,840 Speaker 1: the car Doctor. How can I help? Yes, good afternoon, 198 00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:28,200 Speaker 1: Good afternoon. I had a windshield lake on this anteater 199 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:31,920 Speaker 1: looking van here. I use it for deliveries and hauling, 200 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:35,959 Speaker 1: and uh, water get into the center of the top 201 00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,760 Speaker 1: air cleaner, you know, the old fashioned air cleaner, and 202 00:11:39,840 --> 00:11:43,320 Speaker 1: here it flooded it out in there. I started up 203 00:11:43,360 --> 00:11:45,480 Speaker 1: and only ran for a few seconds and quit never 204 00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:48,959 Speaker 1: started again. How can I get that water out of there? Well, 205 00:11:49,360 --> 00:11:52,240 Speaker 1: so you're what you're saying is water ran down inside 206 00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,680 Speaker 1: under the hood, in through the air box, down into 207 00:11:54,720 --> 00:11:58,320 Speaker 1: the down into the cylinders of the engine. Right, Okay, 208 00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: I could get at the front one was there easy. 209 00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:02,920 Speaker 1: And I didn't say anything. It must have been on 210 00:12:02,960 --> 00:12:05,080 Speaker 1: the other side where it was leaning. I guess one 211 00:12:05,120 --> 00:12:07,559 Speaker 1: side goes to the front and then one side of 212 00:12:07,600 --> 00:12:11,880 Speaker 1: the injectors goes to the other. Did it crank? Funny Joe, 213 00:12:12,120 --> 00:12:16,800 Speaker 1: when it happened, I tried to start, But did it? 214 00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:23,240 Speaker 1: Did it crank it with hesitation? Uh? No? No, No, 215 00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 1: it's a battery and everything's fine. Yeah, that's not what 216 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,960 Speaker 1: I'm thinking. What I'm what I'm asking is so okay, 217 00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,520 Speaker 1: So you're describing to me. You think water actually went 218 00:12:33,520 --> 00:12:37,920 Speaker 1: in the engine or it covered the top of the outside. Well, 219 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:40,600 Speaker 1: it was inside the air cleaner around the rim there, 220 00:12:40,640 --> 00:12:43,120 Speaker 1: so something got in there. Okay. Did it go down 221 00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:45,920 Speaker 1: the throat of the carburetor? This is a car, this 222 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,520 Speaker 1: is a carburetted vehicle or an injected vehicle's old fastened. 223 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:54,120 Speaker 1: H that's two injectors on them. All right, So does 224 00:12:54,160 --> 00:12:56,080 Speaker 1: it crank normally? Now you go to you go to 225 00:12:56,080 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: start it, It It makes that normal cranks normally. Tries to start, 226 00:13:00,120 --> 00:13:03,320 Speaker 1: But how can I get another thing? I can't get it. 227 00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:08,000 Speaker 1: The back plugs, my bottom motor mounts. I'm afraid to Yeah, 228 00:13:08,120 --> 00:13:10,079 Speaker 1: that's and the problem is it has to pivot forward 229 00:13:10,080 --> 00:13:12,080 Speaker 1: if you look at the dog bone mount I believe 230 00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:15,040 Speaker 1: on the left side of the engine compartment. As you're 231 00:13:15,040 --> 00:13:17,720 Speaker 1: looking at it, there's gonna be you would take that 232 00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:24,040 Speaker 1: bolt out and then tilt the motor forward and everything. Well, 233 00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,960 Speaker 1: I don't remember taking the fan out. I just remember 234 00:13:26,000 --> 00:13:29,080 Speaker 1: taking that dog bout, loosening the dog bone mount up, 235 00:13:29,360 --> 00:13:32,040 Speaker 1: moving the bolt, and then the motor pivoted forward. There's 236 00:13:32,120 --> 00:13:35,720 Speaker 1: a there's a pull hook that we would put a 237 00:13:35,760 --> 00:13:38,080 Speaker 1: pride bar in and we would pull the motor forward 238 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:39,480 Speaker 1: with that and then put the bolt that we just 239 00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,880 Speaker 1: took out of the dog bone into that little hole 240 00:13:41,880 --> 00:13:43,920 Speaker 1: at the bottom and use that the position and hold 241 00:13:43,920 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: it in place, and that would give us access to 242 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,760 Speaker 1: the back three place. It's all rodd is under there, 243 00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,480 Speaker 1: and in fact I got a bar on the front one. 244 00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:57,080 Speaker 1: Let me answer this. The engine it's all loose. The 245 00:13:57,080 --> 00:13:59,600 Speaker 1: engine and motor mounts are rodd. If I touch it, 246 00:13:59,640 --> 00:14:04,600 Speaker 1: everything fault part. How can I what can I like? W? 247 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:08,920 Speaker 1: I mean, how how long ago did this happen? Joe? 248 00:14:10,280 --> 00:14:15,199 Speaker 1: Just a few days ago? Okay, here just just stupid questions. 249 00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:18,960 Speaker 1: Did you check for spark? It's got spark. It's kind 250 00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:23,200 Speaker 1: of a little yellow Okay, I looked inside the distributor. No, no, no, no, 251 00:14:23,240 --> 00:14:25,920 Speaker 1: how how did you check? How did you check for spark? 252 00:14:27,480 --> 00:14:31,960 Speaker 1: I took a squed driver into one of the it's 253 00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: not accurate. Go buy a spark test or spend twenty 254 00:14:34,960 --> 00:14:37,960 Speaker 1: bucks if we're gonna be scientific about it, or we 255 00:14:37,960 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: can stand here and guess all day. Here's why. Well, 256 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:45,520 Speaker 1: but here's why. Yeah, but here's why. I listen. We 257 00:14:45,560 --> 00:14:48,400 Speaker 1: could talk about coincidence, and you know, let's talk about diagnostics. 258 00:14:48,520 --> 00:14:51,080 Speaker 1: All right, we're gonna diagnose it. Let's diagnose it right. 259 00:14:51,320 --> 00:14:53,920 Speaker 1: If you want to check for spark on an internal 260 00:14:53,920 --> 00:14:56,200 Speaker 1: combustion engine, I don't care if this is a ninety five, 261 00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,600 Speaker 1: fifty five or vehicle. They all were the same way 262 00:15:00,640 --> 00:15:02,280 Speaker 1: in that sense that you know, we got to diagnose 263 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:06,720 Speaker 1: it the same. Checking for spark using a screwdriver doesn't 264 00:15:06,760 --> 00:15:09,960 Speaker 1: replicate the amount of load that the ignition system would 265 00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: be under trying to fire a gap across a spark 266 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:14,440 Speaker 1: plug and signed inside of a cylinder of an engine. 267 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,120 Speaker 1: So if you're gonna tinker with cars, it spend twenty bucks. 268 00:15:18,160 --> 00:15:19,480 Speaker 1: Can own do you a local load of parts store 269 00:15:19,520 --> 00:15:21,880 Speaker 1: by a spark plug tester. It'll it'll look like a 270 00:15:22,280 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: it'll either look like a long piece of black plastic 271 00:15:25,040 --> 00:15:27,160 Speaker 1: with one end that plugs into the plug wire, the 272 00:15:27,200 --> 00:15:29,080 Speaker 1: other end goes to ground, and you'll be able to 273 00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,960 Speaker 1: set the gap to whatever you want, thirty or forty vaults? 274 00:15:32,120 --> 00:15:34,320 Speaker 1: Does it fire a nice hot blue spark across that? 275 00:15:34,520 --> 00:15:38,720 Speaker 1: It probably will, but let's eliminate it. Okay, Well, I'm 276 00:15:38,760 --> 00:15:40,960 Speaker 1: not another thing right? Why wouldn't it run on the 277 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: And that's my second question, Why wouldn't it run on 278 00:15:45,320 --> 00:15:48,360 Speaker 1: the three cylinders on the front? Okay, if it's got 279 00:15:48,360 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: fuel and it's got spark, it should at least run 280 00:15:50,520 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: and just run terrible, unless unless you know gallons of 281 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,520 Speaker 1: water went into this engine, which is back to my 282 00:15:57,560 --> 00:16:00,760 Speaker 1: first question. How did it crank? If it cranked like 283 00:16:00,760 --> 00:16:04,040 Speaker 1: it had hydrostatic lock, like you were trying to compress water, 284 00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,320 Speaker 1: but then you would be telling me that. Then you 285 00:16:08,320 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: would be telling me that it starts to run, it 286 00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,960 Speaker 1: tries to run, and you're getting backfires through the intake 287 00:16:13,040 --> 00:16:15,640 Speaker 1: or out the exhaust because you've bent the valve. And 288 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: I don't think you did not that much, right. I 289 00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: think something's work, right, Listen. I just think I don't 290 00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,480 Speaker 1: want to beat the horse deader than it is. I 291 00:16:27,600 --> 00:16:29,880 Speaker 1: just think you've got a spark issue. It's either spark 292 00:16:29,960 --> 00:16:33,880 Speaker 1: or fuel. Brother, all right, Um, it's it's one or 293 00:16:33,920 --> 00:16:38,400 Speaker 1: the other. Doesn't work either, right, So it's let's let's 294 00:16:38,400 --> 00:16:40,280 Speaker 1: eliminate fuel if we want to. If we want to 295 00:16:40,360 --> 00:16:42,880 Speaker 1: jump the horse and get ahead of ourselves, it's going 296 00:16:42,920 --> 00:16:46,440 Speaker 1: to be related to the the spark. Okay. Take that spark 297 00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,840 Speaker 1: tester that you're gonna buy. Plug it into the coil wire. 298 00:16:48,840 --> 00:16:52,760 Speaker 1: You gotta separate coil wire on this car, right, Okay, 299 00:16:52,880 --> 00:16:55,200 Speaker 1: Plug it into the coil wire. Plug it into the 300 00:16:55,240 --> 00:16:59,240 Speaker 1: coil wire going to the distributor cap. Does the coil 301 00:16:59,320 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: fire enough? Plug it coming out of the distributor cap 302 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:04,200 Speaker 1: to one of the plug wires. Does the ignition system 303 00:17:04,240 --> 00:17:06,520 Speaker 1: fire enough? If it does, it's not spark. Pull the 304 00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:10,000 Speaker 1: front three plugs. What do they look like? Oh, there's 305 00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:13,600 Speaker 1: this little gas on the one lower one to the 306 00:17:13,760 --> 00:17:16,360 Speaker 1: well one one is not going to prevent this thing 307 00:17:16,400 --> 00:17:19,639 Speaker 1: from starting. If this doesn't start, it's either got a 308 00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,560 Speaker 1: lot more water in it then you believe, and somehow 309 00:17:21,600 --> 00:17:25,040 Speaker 1: you're gonna have to open up those back three cylinders, okay, 310 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:27,119 Speaker 1: or you've got a weak spark issue. That's just not 311 00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,080 Speaker 1: allowing this to start. It's that simple. This is a 312 00:17:30,160 --> 00:17:33,520 Speaker 1: real simple, basic motor, kiddo. It's fuel, it's fuel spark, 313 00:17:33,600 --> 00:17:38,680 Speaker 1: it's fuel spark or compression. I mean, that's it, right. 314 00:17:39,000 --> 00:17:41,439 Speaker 1: So let's let's let's let's you know what if this 315 00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 1: is a lawnmower, how would you attack it? Right? Fuel 316 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:49,440 Speaker 1: spark and compression, something mechanical. Let's go back to basics. 317 00:17:49,480 --> 00:17:50,800 Speaker 1: I don't care how old it is. I don't care 318 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:53,520 Speaker 1: how rusty something is. Let's go back and do basics. 319 00:17:53,840 --> 00:17:55,880 Speaker 1: All right, call me back when you know more. We'll 320 00:17:55,920 --> 00:17:59,480 Speaker 1: go from there. Good luck to you. Zero the car 321 00:17:59,520 --> 00:18:41,199 Speaker 1: doctors back quite after this. Welcome back, ran in the 322 00:18:41,200 --> 00:18:44,520 Speaker 1: car doctor at zero zero. By the way, I should 323 00:18:44,560 --> 00:18:46,640 Speaker 1: point out, in the coming weeks, I'm not sure when 324 00:18:46,680 --> 00:18:48,639 Speaker 1: he's gonna do it. It's up to Tom.

Mike. Welcome to the car doctor, sir, 349 00:19:53,320 --> 00:19:57,800 Speaker 1: How can I help Hi? I've listened to you for years. 350 00:19:59,080 --> 00:20:03,560 Speaker 1: It I want a car that has simplicity. I hate 351 00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:08,440 Speaker 1: all this complexity. We need a car it's durable and 352 00:20:08,880 --> 00:20:12,840 Speaker 1: you know, easier to work on that whole thing. Are 353 00:20:12,840 --> 00:20:14,960 Speaker 1: they ever going to do something like that again? Or 354 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,320 Speaker 1: now that those days are gone? You know, we were 355 00:20:18,320 --> 00:20:20,000 Speaker 1: talking about this. It's funny. We were talking about this 356 00:20:20,040 --> 00:20:24,600 Speaker 1: the other day in the shop, just the simplicity of things, 357 00:20:25,080 --> 00:20:28,639 Speaker 1: you know that, And the conversation started. We were talking 358 00:20:28,640 --> 00:20:33,160 Speaker 1: about finding a misfire on a straight six Chevrolet and um, 359 00:20:33,400 --> 00:20:35,879 Speaker 1: you know, you'd stand there with a long screwdriver and 360 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,159 Speaker 1: you put it to your ear and you put it 361 00:20:37,200 --> 00:20:38,760 Speaker 1: down at the cylinder and you listen for the tick, 362 00:20:39,320 --> 00:20:41,480 Speaker 1: and you listen and feel where the miss was, and 363 00:20:42,280 --> 00:20:44,440 Speaker 1: you know, just just some of the simple things that 364 00:20:44,480 --> 00:20:49,480 Speaker 1: you could do. But now you know, now listen, we 365 00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:53,119 Speaker 1: had a what was it? It was a fifteen a 366 00:20:53,240 --> 00:20:58,720 Speaker 1: thirteen thirteen Subaru four cylinder. We're doing maintenance on it. 367 00:20:58,920 --> 00:21:02,159 Speaker 1: We put spark plugs in it. Well we did, started 368 00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,720 Speaker 1: up and had a misfire. Danny looked at me. I 369 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:06,880 Speaker 1: looked at him. I said, what do you think? He says, 370 00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:08,600 Speaker 1: I don't know, He goes. I was real careful. He 371 00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:11,600 Speaker 1: always is right, like all of a sudden, we've got 372 00:21:11,680 --> 00:21:14,680 Speaker 1: a miss well, I said, get out of scan tool, 373 00:21:14,960 --> 00:21:17,560 Speaker 1: let's look at fuel trim. We'll decide which cylinder it's on, 374 00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:20,480 Speaker 1: look at see what code it's setting, etcetera, etcetera, etcetera. 375 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,679 Speaker 1: It turns out that, and this is true on all 376 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:27,320 Speaker 1: the newer subar rus. The porcelain of the spark plug 377 00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:30,280 Speaker 1: that is external from the cylinder, you know, on the 378 00:21:30,440 --> 00:21:32,760 Speaker 1: on the wire side or on the coil side. It's 379 00:21:32,800 --> 00:21:36,600 Speaker 1: so thin. Now Danny was using a forty two dollar 380 00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:39,359 Speaker 1: state of the art magnetic tip magnetic hold it in 381 00:21:39,440 --> 00:21:43,080 Speaker 1: place spark plug socket. You know, nothing, nothing cheap, no junk, 382 00:21:43,800 --> 00:21:47,119 Speaker 1: and it must have tweaked the body of the shell 383 00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,880 Speaker 1: of the hecks just enough that it cracked the porcelain 384 00:21:49,920 --> 00:21:53,040 Speaker 1: of the plug and the whole thing fell apart on insertion. 385 00:21:53,880 --> 00:21:55,960 Speaker 1: And uh, you know, it gave us ten minutes a 386 00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:59,000 Speaker 1: head scratching on a Friday when we didn't need it. So, yeah, 387 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:02,080 Speaker 1: there's there's just no things simple out there, you know, Mike. 388 00:22:02,160 --> 00:22:07,159 Speaker 1: It's it's even the simplest um becomes complicated by virtue 389 00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,040 Speaker 1: of the complexity of what it is today. And it 390 00:22:09,040 --> 00:22:14,119 Speaker 1: wouldn't matter. Your fathers be that that they are so 391 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:17,000 Speaker 1: smart about this and they couldn't care less about the 392 00:22:17,040 --> 00:22:21,160 Speaker 1: mechanic or the customers, like we need something that's durable, 393 00:22:21,240 --> 00:22:25,880 Speaker 1: and well, you know they're gonna I remember it's got 394 00:22:25,880 --> 00:22:27,840 Speaker 1: to be fifteen years ago. Fifteen years ago, there was 395 00:22:27,880 --> 00:22:31,680 Speaker 1: talking the industry about how you know, the day will come. 396 00:22:32,040 --> 00:22:34,360 Speaker 1: The chickens will come home to roost was the expression 397 00:22:34,400 --> 00:22:36,679 Speaker 1: I remember the guy used. And he said, the chickens 398 00:22:36,680 --> 00:22:38,440 Speaker 1: will come home to roost because you're going to see 399 00:22:38,480 --> 00:22:41,439 Speaker 1: a point in time when and it won't take much 400 00:22:41,440 --> 00:22:44,520 Speaker 1: stuf set the apple card. He said, when all of 401 00:22:44,600 --> 00:22:46,280 Speaker 1: a sudden, it's going to be a three week wait 402 00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 1: to get a car into a repair shop. It's gonna 403 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,920 Speaker 1: be a longer wait to get into a dealership, and 404 00:22:50,960 --> 00:22:52,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna see a shortage of cars, and you're gonna 405 00:22:52,800 --> 00:22:55,880 Speaker 1: see a shortage of parts. And it wasn't it wasn't 406 00:22:55,920 --> 00:22:59,080 Speaker 1: Bill Gates or Donald Trump that said this. Um so 407 00:22:59,200 --> 00:23:00,840 Speaker 1: you know, it was somebody. It was somebody in the 408 00:23:00,880 --> 00:23:06,439 Speaker 1: automotive industry. And I think about that, Well, yeah, but 409 00:23:06,520 --> 00:23:08,560 Speaker 1: you're the exception. But you know, I think about that 410 00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:11,200 Speaker 1: guy from time to time, and you know it's it's 411 00:23:12,280 --> 00:23:15,200 Speaker 1: it's just it's true because now you know, I don't 412 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:17,359 Speaker 1: know what everybody else is like. We're two weeks out easy, 413 00:23:17,440 --> 00:23:20,720 Speaker 1: maybe three uncertain things. I know dealerships. I've heard stories 414 00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:22,680 Speaker 1: of people dropping cars off with dealers and they're being 415 00:23:22,720 --> 00:23:24,199 Speaker 1: told you we'll get to it in about two and 416 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,160 Speaker 1: a half three weeks. Put it over there in that 417 00:23:26,200 --> 00:23:30,200 Speaker 1: pile um. You know, we're busy, and and what's gonna 418 00:23:30,240 --> 00:23:33,040 Speaker 1: happen when when the more complex when that electric vehicle 419 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:35,760 Speaker 1: comes out or the next generation internal combustion engine comes 420 00:23:35,800 --> 00:23:39,439 Speaker 1: out with more complexity. It just it just it just 421 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,320 Speaker 1: takes more time, and it takes more to deal with, 422 00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:43,639 Speaker 1: and there's more to stop and consider, and you know, 423 00:23:43,760 --> 00:23:48,200 Speaker 1: simple things like spark plug changes. Everything is complicated. There's 424 00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:52,880 Speaker 1: nothing simple anymore. And I agree, and it's sad because 425 00:23:53,320 --> 00:23:57,200 Speaker 1: it's not. Sometimes Nope, I think we've overcomplicated a lot 426 00:23:57,200 --> 00:24:01,480 Speaker 1: of things. So I appreciate in there. I've enjoyed listening 427 00:24:01,480 --> 00:24:04,560 Speaker 1: to you for a long time. You're very welcome, sir, 428 00:24:04,600 --> 00:24:06,439 Speaker 1: Guys like you and for everybody else, I'm glad to 429 00:24:06,440 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: be here and I'll continue to do so until they 430 00:24:08,600 --> 00:24:10,800 Speaker 1: I guess until they throw me off the air. So 431 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,359 Speaker 1: but um, we'll see what happens. Let's get over to 432 00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:17,879 Speaker 1: another Mike. Mike and Pennsylvania and some questions. Mike, welcome 433 00:24:17,880 --> 00:24:20,720 Speaker 1: to the car doctor. Yeah, so along the same line, 434 00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:25,919 Speaker 1: just some general information. Uh, well, are my wife and 435 00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:29,600 Speaker 1: I are looking at a new car. It's a two 436 00:24:29,600 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: thousand trick and she wants to get a stick shift 437 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:38,120 Speaker 1: because she's had them all her lives. And my my 438 00:24:38,200 --> 00:24:42,480 Speaker 1: thought on that we're in our seventies that when it 439 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,080 Speaker 1: needs a new clutch, there won't be anybody to replace it. 440 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:50,040 Speaker 1: Well besides, you know, there's there's almost nobody to replace 441 00:24:50,160 --> 00:24:54,239 Speaker 1: him now, Mike, So you know, uh, um, you know 442 00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:56,919 Speaker 1: it's so I'll answer it like this. If you were 443 00:24:56,960 --> 00:24:59,879 Speaker 1: in New Jersey, if I had to do a clutch 444 00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,880 Speaker 1: in car right now at the shop, Um, I would 445 00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:05,720 Speaker 1: have to buy besides buying the clutch components, the disk 446 00:25:05,760 --> 00:25:07,919 Speaker 1: and the plate and the bearing and stuff I'd have 447 00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,879 Speaker 1: to buy, I'd have to buy a new flywheel. There's 448 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:13,640 Speaker 1: there's there's nobody within fifty miles of me that I'm 449 00:25:13,640 --> 00:25:18,199 Speaker 1: aware of that grinds or cuts flywheels anymore. So you know, 450 00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:21,399 Speaker 1: it's already happened. The manual transmission is so low on 451 00:25:21,440 --> 00:25:23,760 Speaker 1: the totem pole of the industry that nobody sees the need. 452 00:25:24,040 --> 00:25:26,800 Speaker 1: It's just cheaper to buy a flywheel. Um, I'd buy 453 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:29,760 Speaker 1: the standard. Listen, if if you like buying it. You 454 00:25:29,800 --> 00:25:32,480 Speaker 1: know Ron's number one rule, Buy something you like, because 455 00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:35,159 Speaker 1: when it breaks, you won't mind fixing it. You know, 456 00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:38,359 Speaker 1: in all the other sticks that you've had, in all 457 00:25:38,400 --> 00:25:41,320 Speaker 1: the vehicles you've had over your driving career, you know, 458 00:25:41,720 --> 00:25:43,159 Speaker 1: how many times do you put a clutch in the 459 00:25:43,200 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 1: same car once? Twice? We've never put a clutch yet. Okay, 460 00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:51,679 Speaker 1: so you know listen, So so think of it like this, 461 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:54,879 Speaker 1: by an automatic and why don't you worry about in 462 00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:56,560 Speaker 1: ten years if you still got the car, if you 463 00:25:56,560 --> 00:25:59,280 Speaker 1: can get a computer module or computer chips for whatever, 464 00:25:59,320 --> 00:26:04,720 Speaker 1: electronic and on it breaks, and yeah, they'll be absolute 465 00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:08,159 Speaker 1: to right. So back to back to back to Ron's 466 00:26:08,200 --> 00:26:10,520 Speaker 1: first rule. By something you like, because there's when it breaks, 467 00:26:10,520 --> 00:26:12,600 Speaker 1: you won't mind fixing it. And if you can't fix it, 468 00:26:12,640 --> 00:26:14,480 Speaker 1: at least you enjoy driving it for the past eight 469 00:26:14,560 --> 00:26:18,040 Speaker 1: or ten years. Whatever it was. Our other thought than 470 00:26:18,119 --> 00:26:20,720 Speaker 1: that was that we were going to keep our own car, 471 00:26:20,800 --> 00:26:23,639 Speaker 1: which is a stick, and use that for the sticks 472 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:26,479 Speaker 1: yet and the other one just to have, you know, 473 00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: for driving long distances. Because we got a two thousand 474 00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:33,880 Speaker 1: nine Suzuki s x four and it has a stick 475 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:36,200 Speaker 1: in it. Well, and that's not a bad idea either. 476 00:26:36,240 --> 00:26:39,320 Speaker 1: Now the Suzuki, I've got to tell you if you 477 00:26:39,400 --> 00:26:41,760 Speaker 1: brought if you brought me a Suzuki and said, ron, 478 00:26:41,840 --> 00:26:44,439 Speaker 1: I need basic service and parts, I wouldn't have a 479 00:26:44,440 --> 00:26:46,800 Speaker 1: clue where to find parts. There wasn't a Zuoki dealer. 480 00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:51,000 Speaker 1: I think within a hundred miles of meat the parts are. 481 00:26:51,720 --> 00:26:56,080 Speaker 1: They're absolute. Well there, we're having this problem with that. 482 00:26:56,200 --> 00:26:59,320 Speaker 1: Now we can't get parts for it, right, we can't 483 00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:03,560 Speaker 1: get parts for you know what I'll call mainstream suber Rut, Toyota, Honda, Ford, Chevrolet, 484 00:27:03,600 --> 00:27:08,840 Speaker 1: et cetera. Um, you bring me into Suzu or a Suzuki. Brother, 485 00:27:08,880 --> 00:27:12,840 Speaker 1: you got a problem. You got a problem, all right, 486 00:27:12,880 --> 00:27:15,360 Speaker 1: But I appreciate the call. Mike by the stick, by 487 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:18,160 Speaker 1: the stick. Listen to think of it like this. Will 488 00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:23,639 Speaker 1: your wife be happy if you buy her the stick? Right? 489 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: And if you if you don't, you're gonna hear about it. 490 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,120 Speaker 1: So you know, what if mom is not happy? Ain't 491 00:27:28,200 --> 00:27:32,120 Speaker 1: nobody happy? Brother, buy the stick, no matter what, right 492 00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:33,879 Speaker 1: this way at least, Hey, honey, I brought you the 493 00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:36,560 Speaker 1: manual transmission. I brought you the stick. It's not my fault, 494 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:41,360 Speaker 1: so go with the flow. Peace, brother, be well, thank you. 495 00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,400 Speaker 1: You're very welcome, sir. I'm running any in the car doctor. 496 00:27:43,440 --> 00:28:02,679 Speaker 1: I'll be back right after this. Don't go away. Welcome 497 00:28:02,720 --> 00:28:06,200 Speaker 1: back when I need the car doctor at five zero zero. 498 00:28:06,280 --> 00:28:09,600 Speaker 1: Let's get over to Oliver in Virginia. Oliver, Welcome to 499 00:28:09,640 --> 00:28:13,439 Speaker 1: the car doctor. How can I help? Hey, buddy, I 500 00:28:13,480 --> 00:28:16,040 Speaker 1: think I might have figured something out here. I'm looking 501 00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:19,760 Speaker 1: at my book. This is selling Missouri Egan. You can 502 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:26,960 Speaker 1: buy these books, you know, for the actual workshop manual anyway, 503 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:34,119 Speaker 1: two thousand four chores. Uh. The anti FEF is a 504 00:28:34,280 --> 00:28:38,480 Speaker 1: FEF light like in my Lincoln. I got a five Lincoln, 505 00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:43,960 Speaker 1: and it'll start blinking when you lock the vehicle. This 506 00:28:44,040 --> 00:28:48,920 Speaker 1: is my mother's vehicle, and the vehicle is not locked 507 00:28:49,080 --> 00:28:55,480 Speaker 1: and the light is steadily blinking. Okay, so but well 508 00:28:55,480 --> 00:29:00,680 Speaker 1: the car starts and runs and and in the anti 509 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,760 Speaker 1: theft like if I hit the button, but like the 510 00:29:04,800 --> 00:29:08,520 Speaker 1: panic button, I can make the horns blow and I 511 00:29:08,600 --> 00:29:14,840 Speaker 1: can turn. But but Oliver, the car starts and runs, correct, 512 00:29:15,200 --> 00:29:18,800 Speaker 1: you can drive the car. Yeah, yeah, it's normal. Yeah, yeah, 513 00:29:18,920 --> 00:29:24,600 Speaker 1: it's just now it does. Is the security light flashing? 514 00:29:24,800 --> 00:29:29,520 Speaker 1: Is the security light flashing while you're driving it? No, 515 00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,960 Speaker 1: when you started, it goes out. So if you lock 516 00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:37,760 Speaker 1: the car, does the does the flash rate or does 517 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:40,440 Speaker 1: the security light change anything in the way that it 518 00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:45,760 Speaker 1: continues to flash? Well, I haven't, but it's supposed to 519 00:29:45,760 --> 00:29:48,720 Speaker 1: after reading my book, it's supposed to flash every two seconds. 520 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,520 Speaker 1: I have not locked the car and checked that right. 521 00:29:52,880 --> 00:29:57,960 Speaker 1: And then my other question is does the dome light work? Yes, 522 00:29:58,360 --> 00:30:01,240 Speaker 1: so if you open the door and close the door, 523 00:30:01,320 --> 00:30:07,280 Speaker 1: the dome light goes on, the dome light goes out exactly. 524 00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:09,600 Speaker 1: And I just locked the car and then and the 525 00:30:09,880 --> 00:30:13,240 Speaker 1: uh and now I'm unlocking the car and the dome 526 00:30:13,320 --> 00:30:18,280 Speaker 1: light is go on before I opened the door, and 527 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:23,320 Speaker 1: of course the dom light yes. Okay, because you could 528 00:30:23,400 --> 00:30:27,960 Speaker 1: also be looking at a bad door jam switch, which 529 00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:30,880 Speaker 1: is part of the latch assembly in that car, and 530 00:30:30,880 --> 00:30:33,960 Speaker 1: one of the key giveaways will be whether or not 531 00:30:34,040 --> 00:30:37,320 Speaker 1: the dome light operates properly, or it could be in 532 00:30:37,320 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: one of the other doors. It doesn't necessarily have to 533 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:43,360 Speaker 1: be the driver's door. You could even be in the trunk, trunk, yep, 534 00:30:44,680 --> 00:30:49,040 Speaker 1: the hood. So so the right way to approach this, 535 00:30:49,360 --> 00:30:51,520 Speaker 1: you know, we're trying to we're trying to do this grassroots. 536 00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:53,000 Speaker 1: But the right way to approach this would be to 537 00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:56,920 Speaker 1: grab a scan tool and at least scan the GEM module, 538 00:30:57,040 --> 00:30:59,760 Speaker 1: which is the generic electronic module. That's what it stands for, 539 00:31:00,320 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: left side of the left side floor area of the 540 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:05,440 Speaker 1: driver's side of the vehicle that might have a fault 541 00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,680 Speaker 1: in it. All right, the fact that the vehicle starts 542 00:31:08,680 --> 00:31:12,640 Speaker 1: and runs. I don't believe this is an anti theft event. 543 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:16,920 Speaker 1: This is a security event. This is telling you that 544 00:31:17,720 --> 00:31:20,120 Speaker 1: you know a doors. It's it's not seeing all the 545 00:31:20,160 --> 00:31:22,880 Speaker 1: doors lock. It's not seeing the trunk clothes, it's not 546 00:31:22,920 --> 00:31:28,200 Speaker 1: seeing the hood latched, et cetera. All right, so it 547 00:31:28,200 --> 00:31:30,040 Speaker 1: it could be a it could be a problem with 548 00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:36,080 Speaker 1: switches more than anything else. Okay, listen to this. The 549 00:31:36,200 --> 00:31:42,440 Speaker 1: anti indicator is always or never on no three second 550 00:31:42,520 --> 00:31:47,560 Speaker 1: and you can prove out d j B fees blah 551 00:31:47,600 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: blah blah. Security is the diagnosing, right, But I'm not 552 00:31:56,200 --> 00:32:00,479 Speaker 1: the security theft l e G pc M. I'm not 553 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,240 Speaker 1: sure what it is you're reading there, Oliver, just you know, 554 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:05,240 Speaker 1: but approach it from I don't believe this is an 555 00:32:05,280 --> 00:32:08,320 Speaker 1: anti theft event. I think you've got a security issue, 556 00:32:08,400 --> 00:32:12,120 Speaker 1: perimeter security as far as something's not locking or latching. 557 00:32:12,160 --> 00:32:13,920 Speaker 1: So look at it from there. The clock is gonna 558 00:32:13,920 --> 00:32:18,320 Speaker 1: take me. Brother, you need more, call me next week zero. 559 00:32:18,400 --> 00:32:30,040 Speaker 1: We're back right after this. Hey, Hey, Ronning, any of 560 00:32:30,040 --> 00:32:31,960 Speaker 1: the Cardox, thanks for sticking with us this hour. It's 561 00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 1: always good to hear from you. Um Cathy wrote in 562 00:32:34,840 --> 00:32:36,800 Speaker 1: from Missouri. She said, Ron, I've been listening to the 563 00:32:36,840 --> 00:32:39,040 Speaker 1: show and I want to know why it is that 564 00:32:39,120 --> 00:32:41,480 Speaker 1: some of the electric vehicle callers always take a one 565 00:32:41,520 --> 00:32:44,080 Speaker 1: sided stance and don't think that perhaps the e V 566 00:32:44,240 --> 00:32:46,600 Speaker 1: future could be fifty fifty. I don't know, Keth, I 567 00:32:46,640 --> 00:32:49,560 Speaker 1: really don't. But that's you bring up an interesting point. Um. 568 00:32:49,600 --> 00:32:51,880 Speaker 1: You know why, Canopy, because I don't think the e 569 00:32:51,960 --> 00:32:55,320 Speaker 1: V future is all EV. I just don't think it's practical, 570 00:32:55,360 --> 00:32:57,680 Speaker 1: and I think we're finding that out now. Um So, 571 00:32:57,800 --> 00:33:00,360 Speaker 1: but as always, I appreciate your thoughts and I'm glad 572 00:33:00,360 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: to have anybody come up here and take the stage 573 00:33:02,400 --> 00:33:04,400 Speaker 1: and and and bring it up. So let's talk about it, 574 00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:06,400 Speaker 1: um may. Recently in the news this week, there's two 575 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,000 Speaker 1: things I want to cover real quick before we go. 576 00:33:08,440 --> 00:33:11,000 Speaker 1: The White House has announced there's plans for new standards 577 00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:15,040 Speaker 1: for a national network of five hundred thousand electric vehicle 578 00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: chargers UM and the you know, the dollar point, the 579 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:22,560 Speaker 1: price point is it's gonna include seven and a half 580 00:33:22,600 --> 00:33:26,280 Speaker 1: billion dollars in this package for an electrical vehicle infrastructure 581 00:33:26,320 --> 00:33:30,040 Speaker 1: and seven and a half billion to electrified public transportation UM. 582 00:33:30,080 --> 00:33:32,160 Speaker 1: And over the last year, the government has been evaluating 583 00:33:32,160 --> 00:33:34,240 Speaker 1: how to distribute that money. We'll give me a couple 584 00:33:34,280 --> 00:33:36,080 Speaker 1: of bucks. I'll put an EV station out in front 585 00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,040 Speaker 1: of the shop. Um, why not? So that's where our 586 00:33:39,080 --> 00:33:42,280 Speaker 1: tax dollars are going. Now, this is my tinfoil hat 587 00:33:42,320 --> 00:33:46,200 Speaker 1: held black helicopter conspiracy theory. What if all this rise 588 00:33:46,200 --> 00:33:48,520 Speaker 1: and gas price is going to that seven and a 589 00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,920 Speaker 1: half billion dollars? MM like that guy on Rowan and 590 00:33:52,000 --> 00:33:55,720 Speaker 1: Martin's laughing said very interesting. I know Tom will have 591 00:33:55,760 --> 00:33:57,600 Speaker 1: that in the open somewhere along the way next week. 592 00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:00,760 Speaker 1: But UM, yeah, you wonder So seven eight, we're spending 593 00:34:00,800 --> 00:34:08,560 Speaker 1: fifteen billion dollars ahead of you mean very interesting. It 594 00:34:08,680 --> 00:34:13,440 Speaker 1: was stupid. It was stupid. Fifteen billion dollars on an 595 00:34:13,440 --> 00:34:16,839 Speaker 1: electric vehicle future, my god. Federal investigators are looking into 596 00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:19,279 Speaker 1: the Tesla auto pilot crash issue the set of San 597 00:34:19,320 --> 00:34:22,239 Speaker 1: Francisco just recently this week, federal investigators are stepping up 598 00:34:22,239 --> 00:34:24,760 Speaker 1: their pro but the Tesla auto pilot, the driver assisted 599 00:34:24,840 --> 00:34:26,759 Speaker 1: system that comes equip with the electric vehicles, and they 600 00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:31,440 Speaker 1: evaluate the features role in repeated crashes with parked emergency vehicles. So, um, 601 00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:33,439 Speaker 1: they've got their chores, they've got their you know there, 602 00:34:33,640 --> 00:34:35,120 Speaker 1: they've got their hands full. They've got a chore in 603 00:34:35,200 --> 00:34:37,200 Speaker 1: front of them, they've got a test to cut out 604 00:34:37,239 --> 00:34:39,800 Speaker 1: in front of them. Um, they've been evaluating the issue 605 00:34:40,080 --> 00:34:42,920 Speaker 1: since August one. They've had nearly a dozen crashes and 606 00:34:43,040 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 1: similar circumstances. They've identified fifteen injuries and one death, and 607 00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 1: they're taking a hard look at it. Tesla is claiming safety, 608 00:34:50,040 --> 00:34:52,400 Speaker 1: Mitza says otherwise, So we'll see where that goes. But 609 00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:55,960 Speaker 1: just be aware, right with every new technology, as the 610 00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:00,560 Speaker 1: circumference of technology increases, so do the potential love problems 611 00:35:00,600 --> 00:35:03,000 Speaker 1: and issues to be dealt with. So nothing's perfect until 612 00:35:03,000 --> 00:35:05,319 Speaker 1: the next time. I'm running of the car, doctor looking up, 613 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,640 Speaker 1: saying I gotta go. The mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. 614 00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:08,960 Speaker 1: See you
