00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,520
Speaker 1: the brightest minds in radio today occupying this space, would

28
00:01:23,520 --> 00:01:24,640
Speaker 1: you guys get out of the way so I can

29
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,520
Speaker 1: see the picture of those two guys everyday, whether in

30
00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:28,840
Speaker 1: that picture hanging on the wall, because it can't be

31
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: you two guys. Um you know, so, Tony, put your

32
00:01:32,360 --> 00:01:33,840
Speaker 1: shoes back on. You don't need to count your toast

33
00:01:33,880 --> 00:01:35,679
Speaker 1: to know how many buttons you have to push. So

34
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,200
Speaker 1: let's let's go over and kick open the phones. Tony,

35
00:01:38,240 --> 00:01:40,640
Speaker 1: can we go? Uh? You want introduce the next guest?

36
00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:43,840
Speaker 1: You do such a good job last hour? Next online

37
00:01:43,880 --> 00:01:46,920
Speaker 1: one is Al for Maine, Alfred Maine. That's it, just

38
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: is Alfred Maine. Can we get a little pizzas? Next

39
00:01:52,600 --> 00:01:55,000
Speaker 1: on the Car Doctor show? Is Mr Al for me?

40
00:01:55,360 --> 00:01:57,640
Speaker 1: I like that? That was good, Alfred Maine. You're out

41
00:01:57,640 --> 00:01:59,040
Speaker 1: with the Car Doctor. How can I help you, sir?

42
00:02:00,040 --> 00:02:03,400
Speaker 1: How you're doing wrong? What's going on? What's cooking. No,

43
00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:08,919
Speaker 1: I had a two thousands, one four, one fifty coming

44
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:14,080
Speaker 1: with a Most Soldier miss fire, and well, I had

45
00:02:14,080 --> 00:02:19,560
Speaker 1: a lot of trouble tracking this one down. UM started

46
00:02:19,600 --> 00:02:23,360
Speaker 1: poking around and found found plugs. You know, the plugs

47
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:28,160
Speaker 1: are pretty dead, so replaced the plugs and uh, it's

48
00:02:28,200 --> 00:02:30,040
Speaker 1: a little bit of tracking on the boots, but the

49
00:02:30,040 --> 00:02:32,320
Speaker 1: boots are in bad shaped with the guile interviews on

50
00:02:32,440 --> 00:02:35,359
Speaker 1: the loops and m carr ran find and they miss

51
00:02:35,400 --> 00:02:42,799
Speaker 1: fires and dump it on the way. Okay, so it

52
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:47,160
Speaker 1: comes back and now it's that moment zone the minisfires,

53
00:02:47,200 --> 00:02:50,880
Speaker 1: but they're on different soulders. So I got looking around

54
00:02:50,919 --> 00:02:57,520
Speaker 1: again and UM taking a Tritest drive and it's doing

55
00:02:57,600 --> 00:03:01,520
Speaker 1: the classic plug converter. Needed no power in a wide

56
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:04,120
Speaker 1: open throttle, so don't get back in the shop. And

57
00:03:04,240 --> 00:03:10,000
Speaker 1: I put my digital kilometer on it. And one cats

58
00:03:10,120 --> 00:03:15,480
Speaker 1: running really really hot, you know, two fifty. The other

59
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,359
Speaker 1: one's cool. It was kind of one five. So I

60
00:03:19,639 --> 00:03:21,919
Speaker 1: tell the cust well, he's gonna have fast new cats

61
00:03:22,360 --> 00:03:29,560
Speaker 1: on so and he brings it to another shop and uh,

62
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: he had two pre cats too close cats, you know,

63
00:03:32,960 --> 00:03:37,240
Speaker 1: on the head of pipe. And he brought to another shop.

64
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: They've been a couple of fights for him and put two.

65
00:03:39,720 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 1: Aftermacted cats on it and sent him on his way,

66
00:03:44,920 --> 00:03:47,520
Speaker 1: he comes back in and he's got just about episode

67
00:03:47,600 --> 00:03:51,240
Speaker 1: in this fire. I guess, so, um, I did what

68
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: I wouldn't have anybody to do, but I pulled the

69
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,360
Speaker 1: fuel rails and uh unplugged all the coils and looked

70
00:03:57,400 --> 00:04:00,360
Speaker 1: at the actual fuel coming out of the n actors

71
00:04:01,000 --> 00:04:05,120
Speaker 1: and uh, a lot of them just didn't look like.

72
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: It was not a nice cone, you know, it was

73
00:04:07,360 --> 00:04:11,040
Speaker 1: it was sporadic, uh fuel. As I said, well, you're

74
00:04:11,040 --> 00:04:18,240
Speaker 1: gonna have to have some fuel injectors. So we get

75
00:04:18,279 --> 00:04:21,800
Speaker 1: the injectives and like that brings out one of the

76
00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:24,360
Speaker 1: injectives and he's looking inside him and he says, what's

77
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 1: that And I said, what, I had to look at

78
00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:35,880
Speaker 1: it Russia. No, he's right, and he started digging it

79
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:41,359
Speaker 1: out and it was granular sugar and that it was sugar.

80
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:48,520
Speaker 1: All of the injectives were plugging with sugar. So this

81
00:04:48,720 --> 00:04:50,840
Speaker 1: is this is really a challenge because it's not something

82
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:54,160
Speaker 1: that is something to expect, right, Yeah, it's it's different.

83
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:56,680
Speaker 1: It's very different when you see this. This is one

84
00:04:56,720 --> 00:04:58,280
Speaker 1: of those is one of those cars that when you

85
00:04:58,360 --> 00:04:59,839
Speaker 1: when you get to the end and you haven't figured

86
00:04:59,880 --> 00:05:01,960
Speaker 1: it out yet, you go, what haven't I or what

87
00:05:02,120 --> 00:05:04,800
Speaker 1: don't I normally see? And that's always the answer. So

88
00:05:04,880 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: what was the end result? The end result was we

89
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:12,280
Speaker 1: replaced the injectives and it runs fine. You know. We

90
00:05:12,600 --> 00:05:17,239
Speaker 1: replaced the fuel pump, replaced chilter, flush the tank, clubs

91
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:20,480
Speaker 1: in it. What's adam, sorry, flushed the tank, you know,

92
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:23,360
Speaker 1: flushed all then we did not flush the tank. The

93
00:05:23,880 --> 00:05:28,279
Speaker 1: tank was clean as a whistle or um. The fuel

94
00:05:28,320 --> 00:05:31,160
Speaker 1: felt that we replaced is really really bad. I mean

95
00:05:31,240 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: it was. It was really dirty, right, But that's that's

96
00:05:34,920 --> 00:05:36,640
Speaker 1: Those are the type of things that would run into

97
00:05:36,760 --> 00:05:41,039
Speaker 1: sometimes that we just you don't expect. Let me let

98
00:05:41,080 --> 00:05:42,760
Speaker 1: me ask you this that what kind of scantil are

99
00:05:42,800 --> 00:05:48,040
Speaker 1: you using? I'm using a snap on modus? Okay, Um,

100
00:05:48,200 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: you're aware. I just I'm not trying to rub your

101
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:51,880
Speaker 1: nose in it, but I just want to make sure

102
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:54,960
Speaker 1: you're aware. There's you know, there's cylinder contribution tests in

103
00:05:55,040 --> 00:05:58,920
Speaker 1: that tool, right, I did not know that. Yeah, take

104
00:05:58,960 --> 00:06:02,120
Speaker 1: a look, because you run into another Ford for it's

105
00:06:02,200 --> 00:06:05,440
Speaker 1: pretty good. Ford does two things really well there's usually

106
00:06:05,480 --> 00:06:09,799
Speaker 1: a cylinder contribution test in factory software, and there's also

107
00:06:09,960 --> 00:06:16,680
Speaker 1: a cranking compression test in factory software. So there's some Yeah,

108
00:06:16,760 --> 00:06:19,039
Speaker 1: there's some really great things. So you get a FOURD

109
00:06:19,120 --> 00:06:22,880
Speaker 1: that's misfiring or not running on all the cylinders, or

110
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: you know it's got a shake to it and you

111
00:06:24,440 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 1: want to go through compression, or you want to go

112
00:06:26,240 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: through and I I D the cylinder quickly. There's usually

113
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:33,080
Speaker 1: some form of a cylinder individual cylinder test, a cylinder

114
00:06:33,160 --> 00:06:36,960
Speaker 1: balance test, a power balanced test, and a cranking compression test.

115
00:06:37,320 --> 00:06:39,640
Speaker 1: The other thing I want to address is you had

116
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: said that the cat inlet temperature was two five degrees.

117
00:06:45,160 --> 00:06:48,520
Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure that's low. We'll see cats get up

118
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: as hot as four fifty to six hundred degrees on

119
00:06:50,839 --> 00:06:53,720
Speaker 1: on some stuff. We'll see newer things get up beyond that.

120
00:06:54,920 --> 00:07:00,720
Speaker 1: So when I when they brought me in the vehicle

121
00:07:00,839 --> 00:07:03,960
Speaker 1: back with these two half to market caps, Uh, we'll

122
00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:08,200
Speaker 1: get into it. Um. I got I got short of

123
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: the same thing, and I cut them both open um

124
00:07:12,680 --> 00:07:17,680
Speaker 1: because I didn't trust my brush. You gauge of the

125
00:07:17,840 --> 00:07:19,920
Speaker 1: one of them was empty. I mean, this thing was

126
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:23,840
Speaker 1: just leading me. I am I think all the wrong directions.

127
00:07:23,960 --> 00:07:27,080
Speaker 1: But well, here's here's the point I was going to.

128
00:07:27,560 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: What kind of what kind of heat gun are you

129
00:07:30,640 --> 00:07:34,000
Speaker 1: using to determine cat temperature? Using one of the little

130
00:07:34,040 --> 00:07:38,920
Speaker 1: red dot the infrared type? Yes, yeah, watch those. I

131
00:07:39,000 --> 00:07:42,720
Speaker 1: actually don't use mine anymore. It's it's accurate, it's accurate,

132
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,000
Speaker 1: but it's not accurate, all right. It it tends to

133
00:07:46,080 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: show you. I've I've had cases where you know, it'll

134
00:07:49,880 --> 00:07:52,240
Speaker 1: it'll show me a temperature reading and it's off by

135
00:07:52,280 --> 00:07:55,040
Speaker 1: two hundred degrees because it's not really centered on the dot.

136
00:07:55,120 --> 00:07:57,840
Speaker 1: It's not really where the dots pointing. I'll be pointing

137
00:07:57,920 --> 00:08:00,560
Speaker 1: it right at the pipe, and the the actual heat

138
00:08:00,640 --> 00:08:03,640
Speaker 1: sensor is missing and going past the pipe into something else.

139
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:07,880
Speaker 1: So you know there there are some Yeah, no, there

140
00:08:07,960 --> 00:08:10,440
Speaker 1: are some heat guns out there. First of all, if

141
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: you've got a snap on guy, the thermal imager, it

142
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:14,360
Speaker 1: doesn't have to be a snap on, But I happen

143
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:16,400
Speaker 1: to have the snap on thermal imager gun and it

144
00:08:16,480 --> 00:08:18,920
Speaker 1: works really well. I like that. I like that tool,

145
00:08:19,440 --> 00:08:22,240
Speaker 1: all right. It's it's it's worth the money. But they

146
00:08:22,280 --> 00:08:25,400
Speaker 1: also make they also make infrared guns now that have

147
00:08:25,760 --> 00:08:29,880
Speaker 1: better Bull's eye accuracy for the uh. Um, you know,

148
00:08:29,920 --> 00:08:31,680
Speaker 1: whatever the target is that you're shooting it at, and

149
00:08:31,680 --> 00:08:34,679
Speaker 1: you may want to look at that. Um, So just

150
00:08:34,880 --> 00:08:36,480
Speaker 1: just be aware of that. The other thing you can

151
00:08:36,520 --> 00:08:38,960
Speaker 1: always do is tune. If you have a modus, take

152
00:08:39,040 --> 00:08:43,240
Speaker 1: a look at you're familiar with Mode six, I'm not.

153
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:48,920
Speaker 1: I'm not. I've so, you know, take a look at

154
00:08:48,960 --> 00:08:51,079
Speaker 1: Mode six. Do you belong to I A t N.

00:08:56,679 --> 00:08:58,320
Speaker 1: to I A t N. Or there's some other places

157
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,679
Speaker 1: you can find Mode six information. A t N dot

158
00:09:00,800 --> 00:09:04,280
Speaker 1: net has got some great references and resources for you know,

159
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,880
Speaker 1: just other than the mechanics forums and the conversations that

160
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,400
Speaker 1: go on there, but just good solid resource information from

161
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: the manufacturers. But you know, just look at Mode six.

162
00:09:15,559 --> 00:09:17,760
Speaker 1: Get yourself a book from Mode six. Go look up

163
00:09:18,080 --> 00:09:21,520
Speaker 1: Jerry Trulia, G Trulia, t r U G t r

164
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:24,680
Speaker 1: U t r U g l i A Jerry Trulia. Uh.

165
00:09:24,840 --> 00:09:27,480
Speaker 1: Matter of fact, the T S T Big events gonna

166
00:09:27,480 --> 00:09:28,960
Speaker 1: be coming up in March. You're gonna be there doing

167
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:31,439
Speaker 1: a live broadcast. Try and get down to that. Get

168
00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: some of Jerry's books on Mode six and some of

169
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: the other things he writes about. You know, mode six

170
00:09:35,920 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: is the basic language of how the computer determines whether

171
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,880
Speaker 1: or not it has a fault. And it's in your

172
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:44,600
Speaker 1: snap on scan tool. It's there, and it's it's it's

173
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,400
Speaker 1: there for your use. You just have to learn how

174
00:09:46,440 --> 00:09:49,160
Speaker 1: to interpret it. Which is welcome, welcome to the business. Right.

175
00:09:49,200 --> 00:09:52,559
Speaker 1: Every day is a learning curve. Um. You know. But listen,

176
00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,040
Speaker 1: you you did a great job. I mean, you got

177
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:58,000
Speaker 1: through a toughie. Um. I I just want to point

178
00:09:58,080 --> 00:10:00,719
Speaker 1: out that I think cylinder contribution and and I don't

179
00:10:00,760 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: want to you know, have hindsight, and you know, we

180
00:10:03,240 --> 00:10:05,679
Speaker 1: could have done it faster, but you know, using the

181
00:10:05,760 --> 00:10:07,839
Speaker 1: tool a little differently, you might have gotten to some

182
00:10:08,320 --> 00:10:10,040
Speaker 1: end results a little bit quicker, but you would have

183
00:10:10,120 --> 00:10:12,000
Speaker 1: ended up in the same place. But you learned something.

184
00:10:12,400 --> 00:10:19,080
Speaker 1: You went to misfire. You went to misfire school that week, right, Yeah, Yeah,

185
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: that's that's okay, brother, That's just the way it works. Listen.

186
00:10:22,160 --> 00:10:23,800
Speaker 1: A month ago, I went to a B s h

187
00:10:23,920 --> 00:10:26,800
Speaker 1: c U class on an o a expedition for two weeks,

188
00:10:27,080 --> 00:10:30,040
Speaker 1: but I figured it out. Uh, you know, it happens.

189
00:10:30,080 --> 00:10:32,040
Speaker 1: That's those are the ones that stay with you so,

190
00:10:32,320 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: but good job mane good joke. All right, thanks, I listen.

Speaker 1: I appreciate you guys. I appreciate you. Know, some of

192
00:10:41,640 --> 00:10:44,400
Speaker 1: the smartest people in the world fixed cars each and

193
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,319
Speaker 1: every day and they get up the next day and

194
00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: they do it again. So uh, you know it takes

195
00:10:50,400 --> 00:10:52,719
Speaker 1: a lot. Um anyway, I gotta go. Well, you have

00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,400
Speaker 1: I should point out in the next couple of weeks,

205
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: we um we have finished finally the Mactool diagnostic car.

206
00:11:36,320 --> 00:11:39,360
Speaker 1: We added the big big screen TV to it. I'm

207
00:11:39,400 --> 00:11:42,079
Speaker 1: sort of creating my own tools now. We we added

208
00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:43,439
Speaker 1: a UM, I don't know, it's got to be like

209
00:11:43,480 --> 00:11:47,480
Speaker 1: a thirty five or television screen is big because I'm

210
00:11:47,520 --> 00:11:50,120
Speaker 1: old and I can't see anything anymore. And we're gonna

211
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: interface that with some of the scan tools in the shops.

212
00:11:52,320 --> 00:11:53,839
Speaker 1: When we do the YouTube videos, you'll see it on

213
00:11:53,920 --> 00:11:55,880
Speaker 1: a big screen. We're gonna be shooting those. Oh, we

214
00:11:55,960 --> 00:11:57,800
Speaker 1: get some up there by you between now and March,

215
00:11:57,920 --> 00:11:59,520
Speaker 1: so you can look for that out on the Car

216
00:11:59,600 --> 00:12:02,280
Speaker 1: Doctor Ace book page or on the YouTube channel. Make

217
00:12:02,320 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: sure you get out there and subscribe to either one.

218
00:12:04,040 --> 00:12:05,280
Speaker 1: And if you need me during the week, we're on

219
00:12:05,320 --> 00:12:07,199
Speaker 1: at Car Doctor show dot com. Let's go over to

220
00:12:07,320 --> 00:12:10,160
Speaker 1: Jason beaver Falls, Pennsylvania. Jason, Welcome back, sir. What are

221
00:12:10,200 --> 00:12:14,559
Speaker 1: we working on today? What broke? Well? The Lexus is

222
00:12:14,600 --> 00:12:16,520
Speaker 1: still in the garage, but this time I have a

223
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:21,560
Speaker 1: forward two thousand and ten Ford eight three fifty. Every

224
00:12:21,600 --> 00:12:24,400
Speaker 1: time I still or any time I put Guess in

225
00:12:24,480 --> 00:12:29,160
Speaker 1: the the van um, it's a rough start, and so

226
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,920
Speaker 1: I only figured out after the third time trying to

227
00:12:32,000 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 1: start it. If I under the gas cap, it starts.

228
00:12:35,720 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 1: So my wife drove from the no check engine. My

229
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,000
Speaker 1: wife drove for a week or so and then check

230
00:12:41,040 --> 00:12:45,000
Speaker 1: in and I came on it's a pot fifty and

231
00:12:45,559 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: on my skin toy Luvid said fuel tank not leading vapor,

232
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:53,079
Speaker 1: And so of course I go to Google and check

233
00:12:53,160 --> 00:12:56,679
Speaker 1: everything out. But um I got on some forward forms

234
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,560
Speaker 1: and uh they said it could be the purge valve.

235
00:13:00,280 --> 00:13:03,199
Speaker 1: Now that doesn't mean it's it's my problem, but I

236
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:05,960
Speaker 1: just want to get your opinion before I dig into

237
00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:11,319
Speaker 1: this tomorrow. Do you do you and understand my question

238
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:12,920
Speaker 1: is just just I want to know where we're at.

239
00:13:13,040 --> 00:13:14,480
Speaker 1: Do you do you know what a perche valve is

240
00:13:14,559 --> 00:13:18,839
Speaker 1: or how it works? Um? I believe the vapor in

241
00:13:18,920 --> 00:13:22,439
Speaker 1: the tank, that's how it releases. As you're as you're

242
00:13:22,520 --> 00:13:25,240
Speaker 1: filling the tank with liquid, all that fumes has to

243
00:13:25,280 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: go somewhere, right, So they right? And actually it actually

244
00:13:28,679 --> 00:13:31,400
Speaker 1: pulls off off. It'll well depends on the system with

245
00:13:31,679 --> 00:13:34,319
Speaker 1: pull through the canister through the purge or through the

246
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 1: tank or it'll go right to the tank and work

247
00:13:36,120 --> 00:13:38,240
Speaker 1: its way that way. But yes, you are correct. So

248
00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,800
Speaker 1: what we're saying here is in essence on the engine

249
00:13:42,800 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: and I believe on this one. If you're standing in

250
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:47,679
Speaker 1: front of the vehicle and we're to take off the

251
00:13:47,800 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: intake duct, you know where the throttle body goes. You

252
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,439
Speaker 1: know what the throttle body is, right, I'm assuming? Um Okay,

253
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,240
Speaker 1: so stand look at the throttle body, take off the

254
00:13:55,280 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: intake duct, the dipsticks on the right. The thermostat housing

255
00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:02,319
Speaker 1: is basically right in front of you. Just to the

256
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,880
Speaker 1: left of the throttle body. You'll see um a short

257
00:14:05,960 --> 00:14:10,319
Speaker 1: hose a valve that it plugs into, and the other

258
00:14:10,400 --> 00:14:12,719
Speaker 1: side will be another hose that kind of disappears down

259
00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:15,200
Speaker 1: the back. That's the purge valve. It's got an electrical

260
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:17,199
Speaker 1: connector which I believe it's either a two or three

261
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,720
Speaker 1: wire connector. All right, that's the purge valve. What what

262
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: what four fifty is generated by the most common fault

263
00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:29,600
Speaker 1: is that purge valve sticks in the open position, all right,

264
00:14:30,200 --> 00:14:34,360
Speaker 1: So they they they close the purge electrically and then

265
00:14:34,400 --> 00:14:37,160
Speaker 1: they open it at various times to purge the canister

266
00:14:37,320 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 1: or the tank depending on how the system, what vehicle

267
00:14:39,200 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: we're talking about, is set up. And what it's doing

268
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:48,280
Speaker 1: is the system is seeing the fuel tank pressure sensor

269
00:14:48,440 --> 00:14:50,840
Speaker 1: or the gas tank being pulled into a state of

270
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:55,560
Speaker 1: vacuum on a constant basis, So it's setting a fourteen

271
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:59,200
Speaker 1: fifty that it's you know, telling you, hey, something's wrong.

272
00:14:59,560 --> 00:15:02,400
Speaker 1: Part of the reason why you may be getting the

273
00:15:02,560 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 1: rough start, you know, after you fill up, is if

274
00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:09,240
Speaker 1: the purge is open. What's gonna happen. It's gonna draw

275
00:15:09,280 --> 00:15:13,560
Speaker 1: a fuel, right right, it's gonna draw It's gonna draw

276
00:15:13,560 --> 00:15:16,640
Speaker 1: a fuel because at at when you started after a

277
00:15:16,800 --> 00:15:20,280
Speaker 1: fuel up, the purge would normally be closed. So there's

278
00:15:20,320 --> 00:15:22,680
Speaker 1: a pretty simple test, all right, if you can get

279
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:24,360
Speaker 1: to it. Because it's a van, right, this is an

280
00:15:24,440 --> 00:15:29,120
Speaker 1: E three ff not an F three fifty. Okay, So

281
00:15:29,560 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: so once you identify the purge, and like I said

282
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:35,120
Speaker 1: that that description is probably accurate to the degree, and

283
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,960
Speaker 1: I'm comfortable with giving it to you that if you

284
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:41,960
Speaker 1: find the not the side going to the throttle body

285
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,920
Speaker 1: that's the vacuum source, but the other side of the

286
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: purge valve all right there, that where the longer hoses,

287
00:15:49,520 --> 00:15:53,440
Speaker 1: you know, thumb and four finger, grab the clips, depress them,

288
00:15:53,840 --> 00:15:58,720
Speaker 1: pop that hose off. If there's fuel in there, that's wrong.

289
00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: All right, then we were onto something. But likely we're

290
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:06,040
Speaker 1: not gonna see fuel. What's gonna happen is you're gonna

291
00:16:06,120 --> 00:16:08,520
Speaker 1: pop that line off. Put a rag there just in

292
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 1: case there's some spray. I'm just being cautious, all right,

293
00:16:12,000 --> 00:16:15,600
Speaker 1: and started up. Remember now, if you've got the intake

294
00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: ducked off, you're gonna have to put the intake duck

295
00:16:17,240 --> 00:16:19,520
Speaker 1: back on, hook up the mass airflow censor and so forth.

296
00:16:19,880 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: But started up. If if you take your if you

297
00:16:23,440 --> 00:16:26,360
Speaker 1: take that hose off, that's the you know, feed coming

298
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: from the evapt part of the system, the tank or

299
00:16:29,320 --> 00:16:32,280
Speaker 1: the canister, and you put your finger over that nipple

300
00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: with the engine running, and you've got vacuum there, that

301
00:16:35,920 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: that purge valve is open all right now. Now the

302
00:16:41,720 --> 00:16:44,760
Speaker 1: other the other part of this is disconnect disconnect this

303
00:16:44,880 --> 00:16:48,760
Speaker 1: purge valve electrically, because if that valve is disconnected electrically,

304
00:16:48,880 --> 00:16:52,760
Speaker 1: if it's unplugged and you've got vacuum there, noah, fans

305
00:16:52,840 --> 00:16:58,840
Speaker 1: or butts, that valve's bed all right, and you know,

306
00:16:59,000 --> 00:17:02,440
Speaker 1: let's yeah, I want to diagnose it properly before I

307
00:17:03,000 --> 00:17:07,120
Speaker 1: just presume asurge in case it could be something else.

308
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,000
Speaker 1: Right now, if you want to, if you want to

309
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 1: get a feel for how the system works, if you're

310
00:17:12,119 --> 00:17:15,520
Speaker 1: what are you what are you using for a scan tool? Oh? My,

311
00:17:15,840 --> 00:17:21,800
Speaker 1: it's some generic one I got from auto Parts. That's okay, Yeah,

312
00:17:21,920 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: that's okay. It should have an FTP or fuel tank

313
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:28,800
Speaker 1: pressure sensor reading on it, which it might yeah, which

314
00:17:28,880 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: which I think is required by O b D two law.

315
00:17:31,160 --> 00:17:33,959
Speaker 1: Bring up the f TP and look at the FTP.

316
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: Look at the fuel tank pressure sensor reading. You'll you

317
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:40,520
Speaker 1: should see it being pulled into a negative state, meaning

318
00:17:40,560 --> 00:17:44,000
Speaker 1: it's under vacuum. All right. You know there might be

319
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:46,399
Speaker 1: two readings for the FTP, one of voltage reading, the

320
00:17:46,480 --> 00:17:51,119
Speaker 1: other being pressure or vacuum state. But let it watch it.

321
00:17:51,160 --> 00:17:53,480
Speaker 1: You'll see it being pulled into a negative state. That

322
00:17:53,640 --> 00:17:56,040
Speaker 1: means there's there's vacuum being pulled through the purge when

323
00:17:56,080 --> 00:17:59,400
Speaker 1: it's not supposed to. All right, So again, real quick,

324
00:17:59,600 --> 00:18:04,600
Speaker 1: find the purged, unplug it electrically, all right, disconnect the

325
00:18:04,800 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: feed side coming from the canister that longer hose and

326
00:18:09,040 --> 00:18:11,639
Speaker 1: started up you you're you're probably gonna find vacuum at

327
00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,400
Speaker 1: the canister purge, which means there's a purge problem there.

328
00:18:14,440 --> 00:18:16,600
Speaker 1: If it's not, then we gotta talk again. There's something else,

329
00:18:16,640 --> 00:18:20,439
Speaker 1: but sticky canisters and failed purge valves are the most common.

330
00:18:20,840 --> 00:18:22,720
Speaker 1: Make sure you get a good quality part to replace

331
00:18:22,840 --> 00:18:25,120
Speaker 1: with Jason, I appreciate it. Say how did Joe Namith?

332
00:18:25,119 --> 00:18:26,880
Speaker 1: I'm run any in the car. Doctor, I'll be back

333
00:18:27,000 --> 00:18:52,080
Speaker 1: right after this. I got time right on the wall,

334
00:18:52,200 --> 00:18:54,879
Speaker 1: so you don't forget to call for car advice. Done right?

335
00:18:55,080 --> 00:19:01,000
Speaker 1: Eight five five five zero zero zero. Now back to row. Hey,

336
00:19:01,080 --> 00:19:03,160
Speaker 1: let's get on over and talk to Let's go talk

337
00:19:03,200 --> 00:19:05,280
Speaker 1: to Don and Wayne's Port, Pennsylvania. Donn you're out with

338
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:08,520
Speaker 1: the car doctor, sir, how can I help? Hey? Ron,

339
00:19:08,800 --> 00:19:14,119
Speaker 1: it's a thousand five Yukon banaly um having in trouble.

340
00:19:14,240 --> 00:19:19,320
Speaker 1: When I get into it, turned the key, no starter, noise,

341
00:19:19,440 --> 00:19:26,080
Speaker 1: no nothing um on warm days fires right up. Now.

342
00:19:27,160 --> 00:19:29,639
Speaker 1: I went up on Google and I was looking around

343
00:19:29,760 --> 00:19:33,920
Speaker 1: on some YouTube videos and they're telling me that it's

344
00:19:33,920 --> 00:19:39,640
Speaker 1: a security problem. It shows a guy using this lock

345
00:19:39,760 --> 00:19:43,159
Speaker 1: button back and forth, opening door, slamming the door, and

346
00:19:43,200 --> 00:19:45,960
Speaker 1: then he turns the key. Sometimes I have set and

347
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:50,400
Speaker 1: turned the key fifty times before that thing will catch

348
00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,640
Speaker 1: and do something. Do you ever hear this problem? Yeah,

349
00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: that's and that's possible. So let me ask you this.

350
00:19:56,160 --> 00:19:59,239
Speaker 1: When it goes into the no no crank condition, right,

351
00:20:00,400 --> 00:20:03,200
Speaker 1: you'll turn you'll turn the key and nothing happens. Does

352
00:20:03,240 --> 00:20:07,320
Speaker 1: it have dash lights? They dimmed right off when I

353
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:11,680
Speaker 1: turn the key, they dim right off. So you'll turn

354
00:20:11,760 --> 00:20:14,320
Speaker 1: the key, you'll turn the key to run as if

355
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:17,760
Speaker 1: it was in run position. You'll have normal dash lights,

356
00:20:17,840 --> 00:20:21,320
Speaker 1: the red lights, check engine light abs so forth. Um,

357
00:20:21,520 --> 00:20:24,200
Speaker 1: you know, warning lights. They'll all come on. You turn

358
00:20:24,280 --> 00:20:27,159
Speaker 1: the key to crank and they get dimm or they

359
00:20:27,240 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: go out, they go out, I'm sorry, And then you

360
00:20:31,640 --> 00:20:35,199
Speaker 1: release the key and they come back. Yes, all right,

361
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:38,879
Speaker 1: So and then to get it started, you do what

362
00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:44,160
Speaker 1: you cycle the key twenty or forty or fifty times. Yeah,

363
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:49,760
Speaker 1: or I'll use the remote lock lock the doors, unlocked them,

364
00:20:49,960 --> 00:20:54,640
Speaker 1: open the door, slammed the door. Sometimes it works, sometimes

365
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:59,000
Speaker 1: it doesn't. It's intermittent. It doesn't happen every time. But

366
00:20:59,080 --> 00:21:01,840
Speaker 1: when it happens, like the morning cost me. I was

367
00:21:01,920 --> 00:21:06,080
Speaker 1: late for work and I decided to call you, Okay,

368
00:21:06,240 --> 00:21:07,800
Speaker 1: that's cool. I'm glad you did because the next deep

369
00:21:07,800 --> 00:21:09,760
Speaker 1: you would have been rubbing your belly and standing on

370
00:21:09,840 --> 00:21:11,359
Speaker 1: one leg trying to get this thing to start. And

371
00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,359
Speaker 1: we can't have that. It makes a spectacle in traffic.

372
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:19,360
Speaker 1: So you know, he really, here's here's a case where

373
00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:21,800
Speaker 1: you really need a scan tool. Alright, some and I

374
00:21:21,840 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: don't mean it will b D two scan tool. The

375
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: very first thing we want to do is we need

376
00:21:26,440 --> 00:21:29,720
Speaker 1: to scan, to look to see do we have what

377
00:21:29,880 --> 00:21:33,640
Speaker 1: the computer sees as a theft event going on, all right?

378
00:21:34,119 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 1: Or do we just have a plain old fashioned bad

379
00:21:36,040 --> 00:21:39,120
Speaker 1: starter and the internet's leading us down the wrong path?

380
00:21:39,240 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: Which is it all right? The fact that it's intermittent,

381
00:21:43,720 --> 00:21:46,400
Speaker 1: that it doesn't happen all the time, that it's temperature sensitive,

382
00:21:47,160 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: I don't see where or how it could possibly be

383
00:21:49,840 --> 00:21:52,560
Speaker 1: a fuse related issue as far as a blown fuse,

384
00:21:52,920 --> 00:21:55,480
Speaker 1: And everybody always also talks about that. You know, I've

385
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 1: seen things with poor connections and fuse boxes, and I've

386
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:01,480
Speaker 1: seen fuse boxes themselves do this. But in order to

387
00:22:01,560 --> 00:22:04,359
Speaker 1: get there, I've got to eliminate that it's a security fault.

388
00:22:05,119 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: So I would love to see this if we were

389
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,480
Speaker 1: at the shop, I have a scan tool plugged in,

390
00:22:10,000 --> 00:22:14,800
Speaker 1: bring up the mobilizer or anti theft screens and rotate

391
00:22:14,880 --> 00:22:17,639
Speaker 1: the key from off to run to crank. And what

392
00:22:17,880 --> 00:22:22,080
Speaker 1: does the scan tools say? Does it report the same conditions? Um,

393
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: you know, as as as a position of the K

394
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,640
Speaker 1: that's number one, number two? Are there any anti theft

395
00:22:26,760 --> 00:22:30,440
Speaker 1: or theft issue? False detected? It will set codes. Now,

396
00:22:30,720 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: keep in mind, and here's a perfect example of why

397
00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:36,720
Speaker 1: check engine lights aren't the be all and end all.

398
00:22:38,160 --> 00:22:41,320
Speaker 1: Um check engine lights come on. I'm gonna I'm gonna

399
00:22:41,320 --> 00:22:43,399
Speaker 1: give you a real quick test here. Don check engine

400
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:46,320
Speaker 1: lights come on because the vehicle emissions exceed one and

401
00:22:46,359 --> 00:22:48,680
Speaker 1: a half times a legal limit. All right, that's law.

402
00:22:49,440 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: All right. So if the car was if the car

403
00:22:52,720 --> 00:22:55,680
Speaker 1: was in an anti theft event, meaning that it's set

404
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: a security code, you think that's gonna turn on the

405
00:22:58,160 --> 00:23:03,119
Speaker 1: check engine light. No, right, So how are you gonna know.

406
00:23:03,359 --> 00:23:05,280
Speaker 1: The only way you're gonna know is you gotta scan it,

407
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:08,280
Speaker 1: and you can't go in. Here's the case where you

408
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:10,679
Speaker 1: can't go in on O b D two. You can

409
00:23:10,760 --> 00:23:13,360
Speaker 1: go in on the same port, but you can't use

410
00:23:13,720 --> 00:23:15,440
Speaker 1: You know, I always I always say this, and this

411
00:23:15,600 --> 00:23:18,959
Speaker 1: isn't my statement. This is the industry. There are there

412
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: are two languages available at that port O b D two,

413
00:23:22,200 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: which is you know, government mandated emissions and manufacturer specific.

414
00:23:27,520 --> 00:23:29,160
Speaker 1: So you've got to go in. If you notice there's

415
00:23:29,160 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: sixteen pins there, one of them speaks O b D two,

416
00:23:31,920 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: one of them speaks manufacturer. By plugging in the right

417
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:37,679
Speaker 1: scan tool, you're gonna go in and and and speak

418
00:23:37,800 --> 00:23:41,640
Speaker 1: to the scan tool on the manufacturers side. And here's

419
00:23:41,640 --> 00:23:44,160
Speaker 1: the case where we we now call it system health

420
00:23:44,280 --> 00:23:47,719
Speaker 1: or health check or you know, all DTC scan. We're

421
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: gonna look and see, you know, what kind of code

422
00:23:49,840 --> 00:23:52,080
Speaker 1: are getting out of this car, you know, just to

423
00:23:52,200 --> 00:23:55,600
Speaker 1: see what sort of information is in there. And uh,

424
00:23:55,800 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: you know, this is a case I think that the

425
00:23:57,440 --> 00:23:59,680
Speaker 1: future is the future is now where we're gonna start

426
00:23:59,720 --> 00:24:01,840
Speaker 1: to scan in cars on an every you know, six

427
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:04,239
Speaker 1: month basis, just to see what sort of faults are

428
00:24:04,280 --> 00:24:07,840
Speaker 1: coming up and it'll tell us things. Um, it's gonna

429
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:09,760
Speaker 1: be expensive at work on cars in the coming years.

430
00:24:09,800 --> 00:24:13,320
Speaker 1: Go ahead, I'm sorry. Will this carry a history to

431
00:24:13,440 --> 00:24:17,480
Speaker 1: show me that there was security breaches? It can, Yes,

432
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:20,840
Speaker 1: it's it's it's worth it's it's a worthwhile event to happen,

433
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,560
Speaker 1: or at least to try. Let me let me ask

434
00:24:23,600 --> 00:24:25,920
Speaker 1: you this question, Um, do you have tilt wheel in

435
00:24:25,960 --> 00:24:32,440
Speaker 1: this car? Okay? Because sometimes till wheel the wheel flexes

436
00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: and breaks the two white wires coming out of the

437
00:24:34,840 --> 00:24:37,440
Speaker 1: locks cylinder. If this is a theft event issue, and

438
00:24:37,560 --> 00:24:42,000
Speaker 1: it makes them very fragile. So you know, first things first,

439
00:24:42,280 --> 00:24:46,119
Speaker 1: let's scan it. If there are no security faults, all right,

440
00:24:46,480 --> 00:24:48,720
Speaker 1: then you're gonna have to drive the car, wait till

441
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:50,879
Speaker 1: it happens again, and get it back to the mechanic

442
00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:54,119
Speaker 1: knee very next day. If not that day, and if

443
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:57,280
Speaker 1: there are still no security faults, then what I'm gonna

444
00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,760
Speaker 1: tell you to do is go down to the starter

445
00:25:00,560 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 1: and have the mechanic wire into that purple wire. There's

446
00:25:03,520 --> 00:25:05,760
Speaker 1: gonna be a purple feed which is the trigger for

447
00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:10,520
Speaker 1: the starter solenoid. Um have him just extend some wiring

448
00:25:10,600 --> 00:25:13,200
Speaker 1: up to the passenger compartment. You know what, do you

449
00:25:13,240 --> 00:25:17,960
Speaker 1: know what a one side marker bulb is? Okay, just

450
00:25:18,119 --> 00:25:22,120
Speaker 1: have him take a one side marker bulb socket planted

451
00:25:22,240 --> 00:25:25,800
Speaker 1: somewhere in the passenger compartment and uh, you know, the

452
00:25:25,880 --> 00:25:28,119
Speaker 1: next time the car goes into a no start, if

453
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:31,160
Speaker 1: he's wired it correctly, every time you start the vehicle,

454
00:25:31,240 --> 00:25:34,679
Speaker 1: that bulb will light because the solenoid feed, the solenoid

455
00:25:34,800 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 1: is the relay on the starter so to speak, that

456
00:25:37,320 --> 00:25:39,879
Speaker 1: actually makes the starter motor turn. It's it's like turning

457
00:25:39,920 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: on the blender in the kitchen. It you flick the switch,

458
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: the light goes on, the blender runs. You flick the switch,

459
00:25:44,920 --> 00:25:47,119
Speaker 1: you turn the key to crank, the light comes on.

460
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:51,040
Speaker 1: The starter cranks, you know, and just open the glove

461
00:25:51,119 --> 00:25:52,199
Speaker 1: box and you'll you know, if you want to put

462
00:25:52,200 --> 00:25:54,880
Speaker 1: it in the glove box, that's fine. I you know, um,

463
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:56,720
Speaker 1: you can always tell if everybody a used car and

464
00:25:56,760 --> 00:26:00,800
Speaker 1: there's one side marker bulbs um fired into. It was

465
00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:02,960
Speaker 1: probably at the shop. So we've got more than a

466
00:26:03,040 --> 00:26:06,239
Speaker 1: few around with different you know. And the nice thing

467
00:26:06,359 --> 00:26:08,120
Speaker 1: is you can wire in different Oh yeah, it drives

468
00:26:08,160 --> 00:26:10,000
Speaker 1: people crazy there, you know why I look at this car.

469
00:26:10,080 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: We can we got a white ball, but green ball,

470
00:26:11,800 --> 00:26:14,480
Speaker 1: but you know, we'll actually paint bulbs different colors and

471
00:26:14,520 --> 00:26:16,720
Speaker 1: give them the customers. And you know which ballblit the

472
00:26:16,760 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 1: green one? Okay, that's bad? Uh, you know it's um

473
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,119
Speaker 1: because this could just be a plain old bad starter.

474
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:25,920
Speaker 1: You know, there's there's there's no rule that says it

475
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:30,280
Speaker 1: can't be and you know it's it's it's just a

476
00:26:30,359 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: matter of deduction and just you know, just just normal.

477
00:26:33,359 --> 00:26:35,640
Speaker 1: And of course, and I'm bypassing and I'm not having

478
00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:39,040
Speaker 1: the conversation with you. You know, how's the battery or

479
00:26:39,080 --> 00:26:41,960
Speaker 1: the cables clean? We could voltage drop test the batteries,

480
00:26:42,040 --> 00:26:44,960
Speaker 1: under load, make sure we've got good clean connections. I'm

481
00:26:45,040 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: kind of assuming you've done all that, or the mechanics

482
00:26:47,320 --> 00:26:49,440
Speaker 1: done all that. That's that's sort of one of the

483
00:26:49,480 --> 00:26:53,879
Speaker 1: basics too. Um. I called my wife it was a

484
00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,520
Speaker 1: neutral safety switch, and somebody get my butt up there

485
00:26:56,560 --> 00:27:00,800
Speaker 1: and fix it. Now. Well, you know, listen, it could

486
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:02,960
Speaker 1: be a neutral it could be a neutral safety sure,

487
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:06,399
Speaker 1: put it in neutral. Does it change anything? And absolutely? Um,

488
00:27:07,119 --> 00:27:09,600
Speaker 1: you know, but if we if we just start to

489
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:14,680
Speaker 1: attack it. You know, logically, that's all. Just every every

490
00:27:14,760 --> 00:27:16,800
Speaker 1: problem on a car can be figured out. Logically. It

491
00:27:16,880 --> 00:27:19,440
Speaker 1: just takes time and effort. That's that's really all it is.

492
00:27:20,160 --> 00:27:22,200
Speaker 1: And it's it's just a matter of stay in calm

493
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:25,520
Speaker 1: and fighting your way through it. Um. I always tell everybody.

494
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,640
Speaker 1: I say this to Danny in the shop. I've said

495
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,880
Speaker 1: this to all the mechanics that have ever worked for me. Look,

496
00:27:30,119 --> 00:27:32,440
Speaker 1: and I get aggravated to we all get aggravated. Guess

497
00:27:32,480 --> 00:27:35,200
Speaker 1: what we're human will be perfectly when we're dead. Um,

498
00:27:35,880 --> 00:27:38,080
Speaker 1: you know what, it's you still got to fix the

499
00:27:38,119 --> 00:27:41,720
Speaker 1: broken car in front of you. And at the end

500
00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,359
Speaker 1: of the day, getting aggravated at it just raises your

501
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,800
Speaker 1: blood pressure and shortens your lifespan. It's not worth it.

502
00:27:46,880 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 1: It's only a car. You'll figure it out. Just hanging there,

503
00:27:49,880 --> 00:27:52,399
Speaker 1: all right, sir, Hey, I gotta I gotta tell you

504
00:27:52,600 --> 00:27:57,159
Speaker 1: something good. Um, I walt been in many shops and

505
00:27:57,240 --> 00:28:02,359
Speaker 1: I've listened to the lead mechanics arguing with their employees

506
00:28:03,040 --> 00:28:06,720
Speaker 1: about something they did wrong. And this is an honest

507
00:28:06,760 --> 00:28:10,520
Speaker 1: truth right here. I say to them, Hey, you need

508
00:28:10,600 --> 00:28:15,440
Speaker 1: to shut that radio off, put on Ronanum's Car Doctor Show,

509
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:19,680
Speaker 1: and let these mechanics get educated. Because if you're gonna

510
00:28:19,720 --> 00:28:21,480
Speaker 1: sit there and yell at them because they don't know

511
00:28:21,520 --> 00:28:24,080
Speaker 1: what they're doing at least wrong, to teach them what's

512
00:28:24,119 --> 00:28:27,240
Speaker 1: going on. Well, I'll tell you what, I appreciate that,

513
00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:30,640
Speaker 1: don I You know what, I I said this for many,

514
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:33,320
Speaker 1: many a year. I'm not I don't think I'm the

515
00:28:33,359 --> 00:28:35,480
Speaker 1: smartest guy out there. I just kind of know where

516
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:37,400
Speaker 1: to look and find it. And that's you know, it's

517
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,160
Speaker 1: I'm just about research. I think research and understanding the changes.

518
00:28:41,560 --> 00:28:43,320
Speaker 1: We had a shop bring us a car this week

519
00:28:43,400 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: for a computer flashing, and it was I don't know,

520
00:28:47,520 --> 00:28:49,680
Speaker 1: I just think they misunderstood the process and what it's

521
00:28:49,720 --> 00:28:52,680
Speaker 1: supposed to do. So, um, you know what, education is

522
00:28:52,760 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: just very important paramount don I appreciate the call and

523
00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,320
Speaker 1: let me know how that goes. If you need more help,

524
00:28:57,360 --> 00:28:59,040
Speaker 1: you know where to find me. I'm run any in

525
00:28:59,080 --> 00:29:01,960
Speaker 1: the car Doctor eight five five zero nine zero zero,

526
00:29:02,000 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 1: will be back right after this. Welcome back in the

527
00:29:12,920 --> 00:29:16,440
Speaker 1: card doctor at five five five zero nine zero, Carven

528
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:19,240
Speaker 1: phone number. Let's get over and our weekly visit with

529
00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: Walter in Hawaii. At least I get the guy. I've

530
00:29:21,080 --> 00:29:23,160
Speaker 1: never been to Hawaii so many times in my life. Walter,

531
00:29:23,280 --> 00:29:27,959
Speaker 1: what's going on? Hey? Aloha? Ron uh to one from

532
00:29:27,960 --> 00:29:30,040
Speaker 1: the Real Quick thing it's called I gave it to

533
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:33,600
Speaker 1: both of my daughters. Is the Girls Auto Clinic glub

534
00:29:33,720 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: Box Guide? I have one of those in the shop. Yeah,

535
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:37,520
Speaker 1: I've seen a little great Is it? Is that the

536
00:29:37,600 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: great paperback book? Uh? I think yeah it is? Yeah,

537
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: and it's written by a woman in Chicago, had your

538
00:29:44,400 --> 00:29:48,480
Speaker 1: own shop and us very good. Yeah, it's very good.

539
00:29:48,960 --> 00:29:51,040
Speaker 1: The woman you talked to at the first top of

540
00:29:51,080 --> 00:29:53,840
Speaker 1: the first hour anything Yeah, yeah, we uh yeah, and

541
00:29:53,920 --> 00:29:55,640
Speaker 1: I have that in the shop. But um, yeah, thank you,

542
00:29:56,200 --> 00:29:58,720
Speaker 1: thank you. What's going on? I sort of saw the picture, Walter?

543
00:29:58,880 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: Is this about the picture? Yes? Um, that piece of

544
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:06,440
Speaker 1: metal that's flopping around there? Is that LUs and just

545
00:30:06,600 --> 00:30:10,240
Speaker 1: moving around at the bottom of the cranks brocket. Basically, yes,

546
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:13,960
Speaker 1: and it obviously it will spin when the crank spends,

547
00:30:14,440 --> 00:30:17,600
Speaker 1: but when the cranks still, it will free wheel and

548
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:22,440
Speaker 1: it goes between the sensor and the block. So what

549
00:30:22,520 --> 00:30:24,760
Speaker 1: does the sensor trigger off of because that looks I

550
00:30:24,840 --> 00:30:27,400
Speaker 1: can't see it in the picture, but that looks like

551
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:32,120
Speaker 1: the trigger wheel for the sensor. It seems to me

552
00:30:32,200 --> 00:30:35,280
Speaker 1: it should be something like that. Yes, so you shouldn't

553
00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:39,200
Speaker 1: just spend freely, right, I agree with that death screws

554
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: the timing up. Well sure, well here, let's let's look

555
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:44,880
Speaker 1: at it like this, because I didn't see the censor

556
00:30:44,960 --> 00:30:48,960
Speaker 1: in the picture. Partners, folks were handy. No, I still

557
00:30:49,040 --> 00:30:52,120
Speaker 1: like for whatever reason, New Jersey doesn't like things from Hawaii.

558
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,680
Speaker 1: I don't know what it is, um, you know, but

559
00:30:54,960 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: but basically, the sensor comes in and it looks like

560
00:30:58,040 --> 00:31:00,560
Speaker 1: it lays against the top of that that piece of

561
00:31:00,640 --> 00:31:05,400
Speaker 1: metal that's floating there. If yes, if the if the

562
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:10,280
Speaker 1: piece of metal isn't that part of the revolution of

563
00:31:10,360 --> 00:31:13,920
Speaker 1: the gear? Okay? Uh, you know to put the timing

564
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,720
Speaker 1: belt gear? And is the trigger built into the sprocket

565
00:31:17,920 --> 00:31:24,600
Speaker 1: or does it look like the trigger once was that shield? Well,

566
00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 1: that's a tough one. It looks like it. It looks

567
00:31:27,160 --> 00:31:30,680
Speaker 1: like a separate piece. Okay, that's what I'm thinking, So

568
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: let's let's do it like this. The sprockets perfectly round

569
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,440
Speaker 1: except for the teeth of the timing belt, right, So

570
00:31:37,640 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: then that piece of metal that's floating around has to

571
00:31:40,280 --> 00:31:43,920
Speaker 1: be the trigger. Yes, if that's loose and flopping around,

572
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,880
Speaker 1: then that's a problem. If that's the case, so you've

573
00:31:46,920 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: got to get a parts blow up of what's supposed

574
00:31:48,920 --> 00:31:51,480
Speaker 1: to be there or how that's supposed to go together.

575
00:31:51,560 --> 00:31:55,160
Speaker 1: There's something physically wrong with how that's assembled or working.

576
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:57,760
Speaker 1: Because I know of no reason why they would have

577
00:31:57,800 --> 00:32:00,440
Speaker 1: a loose piece of metal flopping around the cranksche at

578
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:04,880
Speaker 1: at crank speed. That's that's a recipe for disaster. That's

579
00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:08,200
Speaker 1: what I thought too, And and I can't there's no

580
00:32:08,720 --> 00:32:12,680
Speaker 1: rhyme of reason why it would be loose, So it

581
00:32:12,680 --> 00:32:16,160
Speaker 1: should have been part of the crank. I don't think so,

582
00:32:16,560 --> 00:32:18,560
Speaker 1: or at least you know, part of the were would

583
00:32:18,600 --> 00:32:20,960
Speaker 1: always end up in the same spot when it's you know,

584
00:32:21,200 --> 00:32:23,240
Speaker 1: you gotta you gotta mis you gotta miss a bushy

585
00:32:23,320 --> 00:32:27,160
Speaker 1: dealer nearby. No, and then, and I can't even get

586
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,600
Speaker 1: a manual for it. Uh. I tried to get a

587
00:32:30,640 --> 00:32:33,120
Speaker 1: manual from Amazon and they had one left, and I

588
00:32:33,280 --> 00:32:37,280
Speaker 1: put in for it and they only only for you, Walter.

589
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:39,920
Speaker 1: Because I love you, send me the vent again, Email

590
00:32:39,960 --> 00:32:41,400
Speaker 1: me the vent. I'll see what kind of pictures I

591
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:43,360
Speaker 1: can come up with. All right, kiddo, I gotta go.

592
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 1: I'll talk to you during the week zero nine zero

593
00:32:48,560 --> 00:32:50,400
Speaker 1: running any of the car Doctor coming back right after this.

594
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,480
Speaker 1: Welcome Mack running in car Doctor. Let's real quick. Get

595
00:32:56,480 --> 00:32:59,200
Speaker 1: over to Bob from Phillipsburg, New Jersey, Mr Bob, how

596
00:32:59,280 --> 00:33:02,920
Speaker 1: are you today, sir? Oh? We're doing. Enjoy its wonderful. Uh.

597
00:33:03,120 --> 00:33:07,400
Speaker 1: The nineteen sixty Volkswagen Beetle. It's a real car. UH

598
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,400
Speaker 1: needs a battery H six Vault nineteen. Now. I've been

599
00:33:11,480 --> 00:33:15,120
Speaker 1: online looking and look and looking, and the one supplier

600
00:33:15,240 --> 00:33:19,040
Speaker 1: that I bought this original battery from about three years

601
00:33:19,040 --> 00:33:22,360
Speaker 1: old went out of business. And I'm looking at Excite

602
00:33:22,400 --> 00:33:24,400
Speaker 1: whether the one is going to be available or not.

603
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:29,200
Speaker 1: But who do you have birth suppliers? You know Excites? Okay,

604
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:32,400
Speaker 1: keep in mind that there's only the last time I

605
00:33:32,520 --> 00:33:35,360
Speaker 1: looked four years ago, there were only three manufacturers of

606
00:33:35,440 --> 00:33:39,440
Speaker 1: batteries in the country, and everybody's just basically going to

607
00:33:39,560 --> 00:33:43,040
Speaker 1: these manufacturers and saying, build me a battery to this spec.

608
00:33:43,960 --> 00:33:48,160
Speaker 1: So to that point, all right, I think the brand

609
00:33:48,360 --> 00:33:50,800
Speaker 1: of what you buy is just as important as who

610
00:33:50,840 --> 00:33:54,200
Speaker 1: you buy it from. You know, I I like the

611
00:33:54,320 --> 00:33:56,840
Speaker 1: Bosch batteries and I would clearly go to a Bush.

612
00:33:57,200 --> 00:33:59,320
Speaker 1: I'm looking at the Volkswagen. Man, there's nothing like parts

613
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: from from Germany, right, Um, not that they're just strictly

614
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: a German car company battery or simply strictly a German

615
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:09,359
Speaker 1: car parts company, but you know, here's a classic case

616
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:11,879
Speaker 1: of why not. And I would get out the Bosch

617
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,080
Speaker 1: ole parts dot com and see what they've got available.

618
00:34:14,160 --> 00:34:16,960
Speaker 1: Now you're also gonna find a GM batteries and a

619
00:34:17,040 --> 00:34:19,160
Speaker 1: GM batteries kind of come into the mix. It's probably

620
00:34:19,160 --> 00:34:22,959
Speaker 1: a little too high tech Forkswagen, but you want something

621
00:34:23,080 --> 00:34:25,080
Speaker 1: at that level. You want something at that level of

622
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,120
Speaker 1: a Bosch battery. You also, you know, if it's possible

623
00:34:28,480 --> 00:34:32,040
Speaker 1: to have something that incorporates power frame grid technology. Um,

624
00:34:32,120 --> 00:34:33,879
Speaker 1: I don't know off the top of my head if

625
00:34:33,920 --> 00:34:36,879
Speaker 1: that exists in a bosh. But if it does, it's

626
00:34:37,080 --> 00:34:40,560
Speaker 1: it's you're gonna get it regardless. But um, you know,

627
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,640
Speaker 1: while Excite is not a bad battery, Um, the one

628
00:34:44,719 --> 00:34:47,359
Speaker 1: thing I would look at is case dimensions and how

629
00:34:47,440 --> 00:34:49,880
Speaker 1: well will it bolt in? And I'd be willing to

630
00:34:49,960 --> 00:34:52,600
Speaker 1: bet that the Bosch battery bolts in a whole lot better.

631
00:34:53,480 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: All right, I would bet you the physical case size

632
00:34:56,560 --> 00:34:58,800
Speaker 1: is going to line up much better on the Boston

633
00:34:58,920 --> 00:35:01,480
Speaker 1: on anything else because is the fact that Boss was

634
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:07,160
Speaker 1: owe on that vehicle makes sense? Yeah? I would Um,

635
00:35:07,440 --> 00:35:09,839
Speaker 1: I would clearly say that, hey, failing Bob, real quick,

636
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:14,120
Speaker 1: everything good, Yeah, we're getting all right cool. Hey listen,

637
00:35:14,239 --> 00:35:16,120
Speaker 1: if you take good care, don't be such a stranger.

00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: And it's good to hear your voice. All right, You're
