I want to talk 18 00:01:03,880 --> 00:01:11,240 Speaker 2: about truth and broadcasting and displaying information. You know, I've 19 00:01:11,240 --> 00:01:13,280 Speaker 2: been doing this a while, and not just radio, I 20 00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:17,399 Speaker 2: mean fixing cars long time. And you know they say 21 00:01:18,000 --> 00:01:20,600 Speaker 2: your job will tell you who you are, and mine 22 00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:22,880 Speaker 2: told me who I was a long time ago. Been 23 00:01:22,880 --> 00:01:25,680 Speaker 2: doing this a very long time. Have I met mem 24 00:01:25,840 --> 00:01:26,560 Speaker 2: share of mistakes? 25 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:26,759 Speaker 3: Yeah? 26 00:01:26,800 --> 00:01:29,399 Speaker 2: Absolutely, I mean Jesus, I don't know anybody that doesn't 27 00:01:29,840 --> 00:01:32,280 Speaker 2: do their job that doesn't make mistakes, but you know, 28 00:01:32,319 --> 00:01:34,240 Speaker 2: you try to avoid him the older you get and 29 00:01:34,240 --> 00:01:37,639 Speaker 2: the longer you do it right. I saw a post 30 00:01:37,680 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 2: on Facebook this morning from a regular Facebook contributor that 31 00:01:41,080 --> 00:01:44,880 Speaker 2: I think everybody in the automotive world sees. And I'm 32 00:01:44,880 --> 00:01:46,640 Speaker 2: not going to call him out by name, but I'm 33 00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:49,880 Speaker 2: going to say that I disagree with his information. And 34 00:01:49,920 --> 00:01:52,760 Speaker 2: I've watched him over the time, over time, and I've 35 00:01:52,800 --> 00:01:55,120 Speaker 2: seen what he does and his stuff's been okay. But 36 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:57,560 Speaker 2: you know, the two I saw today were kind of 37 00:01:57,600 --> 00:02:01,600 Speaker 2: bone rattling. One talked about if you want to restore 38 00:02:01,640 --> 00:02:05,400 Speaker 2: your vehicle back to good operating condition, if the vehicle 39 00:02:05,440 --> 00:02:11,440 Speaker 2: is giving you a running problem, disconnect the battery. Disconnect 40 00:02:11,480 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 2: the battery and turn on the headlights to bleed out 41 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:16,880 Speaker 2: any electrical energy in the vehicle to restore it back 42 00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:22,000 Speaker 2: to factory default. You know, I can't tell you how 43 00:02:22,040 --> 00:02:25,960 Speaker 2: big I disagree with that statement because it's a blanket statement. 44 00:02:26,639 --> 00:02:29,560 Speaker 2: It's the video leads you to believe that you can 45 00:02:29,600 --> 00:02:32,200 Speaker 2: do that for all your problem solving, and I'm going 46 00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:34,040 Speaker 2: to tell you right here and now, you're going to 47 00:02:34,120 --> 00:02:37,120 Speaker 2: create more problems than you're going to solve by doing that, 48 00:02:38,200 --> 00:02:43,360 Speaker 2: the adaptives, the memory resets, the fuel trim, the transmission controls, 49 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:48,320 Speaker 2: all of it is so sensitive on a modern day vehicle, 50 00:02:48,360 --> 00:02:52,640 Speaker 2: anything five six years old or newer, and even beginning 51 00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:55,760 Speaker 2: model year twenty fifteen coming up a lot of vehicles. 52 00:02:56,800 --> 00:02:58,360 Speaker 2: You want to do it on something older. You want 53 00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:00,359 Speaker 2: to do it on a let's see, this is twenty 54 00:03:00,400 --> 00:03:01,920 Speaker 2: twenty five. You want to do it on a fifteen 55 00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 2: year old vehicle. You're probably not as disruptive. You're still 56 00:03:05,000 --> 00:03:08,000 Speaker 2: going to affect minimum ital speed and airflow, and you're 57 00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,800 Speaker 2: going to affect idle quality and have to retrain idle 58 00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:12,320 Speaker 2: on a lot of vehicles, which means you're going to 59 00:03:12,360 --> 00:03:17,560 Speaker 2: get into cleaning throttle bodies. Don't disconnect the battery unless 60 00:03:17,600 --> 00:03:20,519 Speaker 2: the manufacturer tells you to do so, unless you've exhausted 61 00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:25,680 Speaker 2: all other methods, unless you've done a realistic diagnosis, and 62 00:03:25,720 --> 00:03:30,160 Speaker 2: in the case of certain diagnoses, Yeah, disconnecting the battery 63 00:03:30,200 --> 00:03:34,200 Speaker 2: makes sense. I get that. You know, sometimes disconnecting a 64 00:03:34,200 --> 00:03:40,120 Speaker 2: battery con Sometimes disconnecting a battery as part of a 65 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:45,680 Speaker 2: diagnosis is effective. What faults do you create? You're testing 66 00:03:45,680 --> 00:03:47,200 Speaker 2: the system. You want to look to see does it 67 00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:51,320 Speaker 2: have a condition that is created by disconnecting the battery 68 00:03:51,320 --> 00:03:54,600 Speaker 2: and what that does to the vehicle. But to do 69 00:03:54,680 --> 00:03:56,920 Speaker 2: it in place of a diagnosis, to do it in 70 00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:01,080 Speaker 2: the hopes that it's going to solve something. No, you're 71 00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 2: you're living a fool's dream and you're you're basically creating 72 00:04:05,400 --> 00:04:09,120 Speaker 2: more problems than you're going to solve. The second video 73 00:04:09,480 --> 00:04:12,440 Speaker 2: was about safety. The second video this individual put up 74 00:04:12,440 --> 00:04:16,240 Speaker 2: that I saw today talked about replacing a rear wheel 75 00:04:16,279 --> 00:04:19,080 Speaker 2: bearing on an older Japanese vehicle. I think it was 76 00:04:19,120 --> 00:04:25,160 Speaker 2: a Toyota or a Subaru, and just a lot wrong it. 77 00:04:28,480 --> 00:04:31,520 Speaker 2: How can I say it? You know, jacked it up. 78 00:04:31,760 --> 00:04:34,360 Speaker 2: Didn't talk about jack Stans, so you were led to 79 00:04:34,400 --> 00:04:38,039 Speaker 2: believe that the car was supported by the floor jack 80 00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,760 Speaker 2: You know, I like your legs as long as God 81 00:04:41,800 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 2: made them. I don't want to see anybody lose a leg. 82 00:04:44,440 --> 00:04:47,960 Speaker 2: All right, cars get jacked up, they go on jack Stans. 83 00:04:48,120 --> 00:04:50,839 Speaker 2: That's the number one rule I've given my mechanics from 84 00:04:50,839 --> 00:04:53,600 Speaker 2: the day I started training any of them. And it 85 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,920 Speaker 2: was more than a tongue lashing if I ever saw 86 00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 2: it not done that way. Cars go on Jackson hands. 87 00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:03,039 Speaker 2: You don't strike steel on steel. In the video, he's 88 00:05:03,120 --> 00:05:05,880 Speaker 2: using a long wrench, which I understand. He's using the 89 00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:09,480 Speaker 2: wrench I think improperly. He's not holding it in a vice, 90 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:14,360 Speaker 2: the wheelbaring that he's trying to disassemble, but he's striking 91 00:05:14,400 --> 00:05:17,719 Speaker 2: the nut. He's striking the wrench that's on the nut 92 00:05:17,960 --> 00:05:21,320 Speaker 2: with a hammer. Steel on steel is never the way, 93 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:24,799 Speaker 2: all right, It's not a way to repair a vehicle. 94 00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:27,520 Speaker 2: And you know, the funny thing is, I know this individual, 95 00:05:28,120 --> 00:05:30,760 Speaker 2: you know, not personally, but I've seen his stuff. He's 96 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:33,240 Speaker 2: an old school mechanic, and I'm trying to figure out 97 00:05:33,320 --> 00:05:37,240 Speaker 2: is he's having a moment where he's, you know, just 98 00:05:37,360 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 2: incorrectly doing things. I get it that. You know, hey, listen, 99 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:42,880 Speaker 2: you know, maybe we're trying to impress. Maybe we're trying 100 00:05:42,880 --> 00:05:48,479 Speaker 2: to show people, Hey, quick quick shortcuts dangerous. Shortcuts are dangerous. 101 00:05:48,520 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 2: I mean, that's the only way I can explain it. 102 00:05:50,640 --> 00:05:54,760 Speaker 2: They just don't They just don't resolve anything, and they 103 00:05:54,880 --> 00:05:59,680 Speaker 2: usually end up getting your hurt. So my point is, 104 00:06:01,200 --> 00:06:03,279 Speaker 2: when I tell you something, and I'm not trying to 105 00:06:03,279 --> 00:06:07,200 Speaker 2: make this about me, when I tell you something, I've 106 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,960 Speaker 2: done it. I've been doing it. I've read it. I've 107 00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,240 Speaker 2: experienced it. It's real, all right. It's not something I 108 00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:16,920 Speaker 2: pull out of the cosmos and just say, oh, let's 109 00:06:16,920 --> 00:06:20,440 Speaker 2: try this. Yes, there are moments I will tell you 110 00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:25,000 Speaker 2: to disconnect the battery cable, but they're legit. I've referenced it, 111 00:06:25,040 --> 00:06:28,320 Speaker 2: I've experienced. There is no scenario where I can say, hey, 112 00:06:28,360 --> 00:06:31,960 Speaker 2: cars not run right, disconnect the battery. And that's the 113 00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:35,880 Speaker 2: way this video was presented that I understood it to 114 00:06:35,960 --> 00:06:42,279 Speaker 2: say that was the implication. The media is a very 115 00:06:43,960 --> 00:06:47,279 Speaker 2: I want to say, dangerous thing. I could convince you 116 00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:50,000 Speaker 2: the sky is purple and I could do it too. 117 00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:53,800 Speaker 2: So I have to be very careful how I spend 118 00:06:53,800 --> 00:06:56,400 Speaker 2: this nickel of our time together that I'm giving you 119 00:06:56,480 --> 00:06:59,280 Speaker 2: the best possible information I can because I take it 120 00:06:59,279 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 2: to heart and know that when I explained something to you, 121 00:07:04,160 --> 00:07:06,000 Speaker 2: I believe it to be the answer. And I'm not 122 00:07:06,080 --> 00:07:08,799 Speaker 2: just trying to grab your your your listenership or your time. 123 00:07:09,080 --> 00:07:11,240 Speaker 2: I'm trying to give you something that solves a problem, 124 00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:15,960 Speaker 2: because that's what I've always tried to do. So just 125 00:07:15,960 --> 00:07:21,240 Speaker 2: just be wary, all right, because it really comes down 126 00:07:21,280 --> 00:07:23,800 Speaker 2: to you can get hurt working on cars. You really 127 00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:28,600 Speaker 2: can bad things happen all the time, and you know, 128 00:07:28,800 --> 00:07:33,640 Speaker 2: I'll never forget. It was bring your daughter to work day, 129 00:07:34,280 --> 00:07:37,840 Speaker 2: and the middle kid was I think she was all 130 00:07:37,880 --> 00:07:39,560 Speaker 2: of ten years old. And this way, this is when 131 00:07:39,600 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 2: I knew she had good survival skills. So I made 132 00:07:44,160 --> 00:07:46,200 Speaker 2: her the fireman. We were we were using the torch 133 00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,760 Speaker 2: to cut up some exhaust, and you know it was 134 00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:51,520 Speaker 2: she was safe. She was between me and the you know, 135 00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:54,160 Speaker 2: the door. She would have heck, I would have shielded 136 00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,200 Speaker 2: her if you know I was cutting off a relatively 137 00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,760 Speaker 2: safe portion of exhaust that there was nothing else near 138 00:07:58,840 --> 00:08:01,000 Speaker 2: that was. But she wanted to see the torch work. 139 00:08:01,120 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 2: So as I let the torch and she held the 140 00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:06,160 Speaker 2: spray bottle of water, she said, what happens if you 141 00:08:06,200 --> 00:08:08,080 Speaker 2: hit the gas tank? I said, well, kidding me around, 142 00:08:08,120 --> 00:08:11,400 Speaker 2: I said, well all your problems are over. And I 143 00:08:11,440 --> 00:08:13,400 Speaker 2: turned around and I turned back and she was standing 144 00:08:13,400 --> 00:08:16,560 Speaker 2: outside the shop about twenty feet away, and I said, 145 00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,960 Speaker 2: what are you doing? She says, I'm being safe, dad. 146 00:08:19,080 --> 00:08:22,600 Speaker 2: And you know what, I never forgot that lesson. So 147 00:08:23,040 --> 00:08:26,480 Speaker 2: it's take it for granted, take it at face value. 148 00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 2: Cars can be dangerous. Needless to say, she went to 149 00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,480 Speaker 2: Afghanistan and came back and she survived. I should have 150 00:08:32,520 --> 00:08:35,160 Speaker 2: known that she would have done that too, because her 151 00:08:35,160 --> 00:08:37,440 Speaker 2: survival skills were always very good, even from that of 152 00:08:37,440 --> 00:08:41,079 Speaker 2: a little kid. But in any event, just just you know, 153 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,600 Speaker 2: the Facebook and YouTube stuff and all the social media stuff. 154 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:49,880 Speaker 2: You know, it can be very misleading and very deceiving, 155 00:08:50,520 --> 00:08:53,520 Speaker 2: and I'm just concerned that it's going to set some 156 00:08:53,559 --> 00:08:55,400 Speaker 2: precedents where people are going to get hurt. So I 157 00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:58,320 Speaker 2: wanted you to hear it here that you know there's 158 00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,880 Speaker 2: a concern, Know what you're looking at, and know who 159 00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:05,160 Speaker 2: you're listening to, and make your judgments from there. Anyway, 160 00:09:05,200 --> 00:09:06,920 Speaker 2: let's pull over to take a pause before we go 161 00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,640 Speaker 2: to the phones. Eight five five five six zero nine 162 00:09:09,720 --> 00:09:12,400 Speaker 2: nine zero zero Again eight five five five six zero 163 00:09:12,720 --> 00:09:14,520 Speaker 2: nine nine zero zero.

Tony waiting very patiently. Thank you, Tony. 205 00:11:01,559 --> 00:11:04,680 Speaker 5: How can I help you Todayron Hiron, thank you for 206 00:11:04,760 --> 00:11:05,400 Speaker 5: taking my call. 207 00:11:05,559 --> 00:11:06,080 Speaker 2: You're welcome. 208 00:11:06,120 --> 00:11:10,320 Speaker 5: I've got a twenty twelve five hundred C sport car 209 00:11:10,800 --> 00:11:13,040 Speaker 5: and it's got ninety eight thousand miles on it and 210 00:11:13,080 --> 00:11:16,400 Speaker 5: this problem just started. It's basically, when I fill the 211 00:11:16,440 --> 00:11:18,360 Speaker 5: car up and I've got a quarter of a tank 212 00:11:18,400 --> 00:11:21,480 Speaker 5: of gas remaining in it, I can put the pump 213 00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 5: on the first nozzle or the first lever and it'll 214 00:11:24,720 --> 00:11:27,560 Speaker 5: pump three to four dours and then shut off. And 215 00:11:27,600 --> 00:11:30,680 Speaker 5: then from there I can only put in or nurse it. 216 00:11:30,880 --> 00:11:33,480 Speaker 5: Then nurse in two to three ounces of gas at 217 00:11:33,480 --> 00:11:35,760 Speaker 5: a time until I fill it up. But I don't 218 00:11:35,800 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 5: know why this is happening. 219 00:11:37,040 --> 00:11:42,920 Speaker 2: Okay, So you ever, you ever take a can and 220 00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,920 Speaker 2: empty the can and then or well it's empty, but 221 00:11:45,960 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 2: you've punched one hole in the cannon and then you 222 00:11:47,760 --> 00:11:49,720 Speaker 2: try to fill it with water and it won't because 223 00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:52,839 Speaker 2: there's too much pressure in the can, right, It just 224 00:11:52,920 --> 00:11:55,800 Speaker 2: it just bubbles. And so that's that's really how a 225 00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:00,560 Speaker 2: gas tank works. Also, so consequently they've got to open 226 00:12:00,679 --> 00:12:02,640 Speaker 2: up the other side of the tank so as you're 227 00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:04,959 Speaker 2: putting fuel in, there's a place for pressure to go, 228 00:12:05,840 --> 00:12:09,040 Speaker 2: that place for pressure to go when you're sitting there 229 00:12:09,080 --> 00:12:13,760 Speaker 2: filling the tanks. The charcoal canister, all right. Charcoal canister 230 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:18,280 Speaker 2: is an essential part of the evaporative emission system, all right, 231 00:12:18,559 --> 00:12:22,920 Speaker 2: and it can have all kinds of different failures. So 232 00:12:24,040 --> 00:12:28,079 Speaker 2: this could also be a bad fuel tank that the 233 00:12:28,080 --> 00:12:31,560 Speaker 2: internal valving on the tank has either failed or clogged 234 00:12:31,640 --> 00:12:33,640 Speaker 2: or restricted, and the only repair for that is to 235 00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:36,680 Speaker 2: replace the tank. So we need to break this out 236 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:40,280 Speaker 2: to diagnose it, all right, if you can get it 237 00:12:40,360 --> 00:12:42,000 Speaker 2: up in the air and get a mechanic to look 238 00:12:42,040 --> 00:12:44,360 Speaker 2: at it with the understanding of what we're trying to achieve, 239 00:12:44,360 --> 00:12:46,920 Speaker 2: which is why I'm explaining this to you. We need 240 00:12:46,960 --> 00:12:49,880 Speaker 2: to locate the charcoal canister. There's going to be a 241 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:53,120 Speaker 2: big tube that goes from the canister to the fuel tank. 242 00:12:53,960 --> 00:12:58,079 Speaker 2: We need to disconnect that. All right. Then if we 243 00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 2: look at the fuel filler neck, and we're gonna have 244 00:13:00,559 --> 00:13:02,800 Speaker 2: to take out the inner wheelhouse on the side where 245 00:13:02,800 --> 00:13:07,480 Speaker 2: the tank neck is driver's side. I'm twelve, Yeah, driver's side. 246 00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:10,960 Speaker 2: Take the wheelhouse lining out and you'll see a long 247 00:13:11,040 --> 00:13:13,280 Speaker 2: tube they call that the recirculation tube that comes from 248 00:13:13,320 --> 00:13:15,959 Speaker 2: the fuel filler neck and it leads down to the tank. 249 00:13:16,480 --> 00:13:19,800 Speaker 2: All right, you want to disconnect that also at the 250 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:23,040 Speaker 2: tank if you can what what you what you now 251 00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:28,200 Speaker 2: have right is a gas tank that is open and 252 00:13:28,320 --> 00:13:32,719 Speaker 2: vented to atmosphere. You're with me, yes, I am all right. 253 00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,200 Speaker 2: If we if we go to put fuel in this 254 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:39,040 Speaker 2: car and the and the pump keeps clicking off doing 255 00:13:39,080 --> 00:13:50,360 Speaker 2: the same thing, where's the problem. It's it's in the tank, right, yeah, right, Okay, 256 00:13:50,840 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 2: if if I punch, if I punch another hole in 257 00:13:53,240 --> 00:13:56,359 Speaker 2: the top of my can and it's vented to atmosphere 258 00:13:56,520 --> 00:13:58,839 Speaker 2: and I still can't put water in the can, where's 259 00:13:58,880 --> 00:13:59,440 Speaker 2: the problem? 260 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:00,600 Speaker 6: Right? 261 00:14:00,640 --> 00:14:04,680 Speaker 2: It's the can, right, it can Right? If I put 262 00:14:04,720 --> 00:14:08,240 Speaker 2: a plastic hose on the side that I punched the 263 00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:10,280 Speaker 2: hole in on the can, and I ran that plastic 264 00:14:10,320 --> 00:14:17,080 Speaker 2: hose up to a hairnet or something that's porous, and 265 00:14:17,120 --> 00:14:20,680 Speaker 2: I put a coat of wax over that screen, and 266 00:14:20,680 --> 00:14:24,560 Speaker 2: now it kicks off the pump, that's a restriction, right, right. 267 00:14:24,680 --> 00:14:27,360 Speaker 2: So my problem isn't in the isn't in the can. 268 00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:32,280 Speaker 2: My problem is in the hairnet, the screen that's waxed over. Correct, Okay, 269 00:14:32,600 --> 00:14:34,560 Speaker 2: And the way I'm going to prove whether it's the 270 00:14:34,600 --> 00:14:38,480 Speaker 2: can or the screen is disconnect the hose. And that's 271 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:43,280 Speaker 2: what you're doing when you disconnect the charcoal canister makes 272 00:14:43,320 --> 00:14:47,840 Speaker 2: sense now if it takes gas, if you can put 273 00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:50,600 Speaker 2: fuel in it and it's normal. Now we've got to 274 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,680 Speaker 2: go back and disconnect and reconnect one of the other hoses. 275 00:14:53,720 --> 00:14:58,160 Speaker 2: Pick one, you know. I would probably reconnect the canister 276 00:15:00,560 --> 00:15:02,480 Speaker 2: and then go back and put a little more fuel 277 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:03,920 Speaker 2: in it. And when I can fill it up with 278 00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:08,280 Speaker 2: the canister. Okay. Then it's in the recirculation host and 279 00:15:08,280 --> 00:15:12,400 Speaker 2: there's probably a spider web in it, which is common. Okay, yeah, 280 00:15:12,520 --> 00:15:13,760 Speaker 2: we have to do you have do you have a 281 00:15:13,800 --> 00:15:15,840 Speaker 2: do you have a propane barbecue in the backyard? 282 00:15:16,640 --> 00:15:16,840 Speaker 3: Yes? 283 00:15:16,920 --> 00:15:17,200 Speaker 5: I do? 284 00:15:17,320 --> 00:15:19,160 Speaker 2: Okay. You ever get a spider to build a web? 285 00:15:20,240 --> 00:15:20,760 Speaker 6: Not? Yeah? 286 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:21,200 Speaker 5: Thank you. 287 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:24,920 Speaker 2: Yeah, it happens. And that's why you know when the 288 00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 2: barbecue won't light. When the barbecue won't light, it it's 289 00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,760 Speaker 2: because you take it apart and you're looking. There's a 290 00:15:31,800 --> 00:15:33,960 Speaker 2: spider web there, and you can blow through it, but 291 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:36,440 Speaker 2: it's just it's enough of a restriction that it affects 292 00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:41,520 Speaker 2: you know, uh, you know, gas flow, and it affects operations. 293 00:15:41,520 --> 00:15:44,560 Speaker 2: So we're looking for we're looking for a pimple on 294 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:47,840 Speaker 2: the flies behind here, tony. So that's why we're that's 295 00:15:47,840 --> 00:15:49,640 Speaker 2: why we're kind of doing this one step at a time, 296 00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:52,320 Speaker 2: but that's the basic principle of what we're looking for, 297 00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,440 Speaker 2: all right, sir, Okay. 298 00:15:54,200 --> 00:15:55,960 Speaker 5: Ron, thank you very much, and I'll let you know 299 00:15:56,000 --> 00:15:56,680 Speaker 5: how I make out. 300 00:15:56,760 --> 00:15:58,320 Speaker 2: You're very welcome and I'll be glad to hear it. 301 00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:03,120 Speaker 2: You take good care, yes, sir, take care. Yeah, it's 302 00:16:03,160 --> 00:16:05,520 Speaker 2: just it's just we've we've got to break this down 303 00:16:06,160 --> 00:16:10,720 Speaker 2: into into you know, little little minutia steps. All right, 304 00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:13,720 Speaker 2: how does it work? May not be the easiest thing 305 00:16:13,760 --> 00:16:16,480 Speaker 2: to get to it. It may take some time and 306 00:16:16,520 --> 00:16:19,920 Speaker 2: be tedious, but it's it's better than guessing. And and 307 00:16:19,960 --> 00:16:23,000 Speaker 2: I've and I've seen, for in all fairness, I've seen 308 00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:26,200 Speaker 2: bad fuel tanks on these cars. I've seen I've seen 309 00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,320 Speaker 2: the spider in the recarc line. I've seen a clogged canister. 310 00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:32,800 Speaker 2: You know, anything's possible here. It's twelve years old, it's 311 00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:36,120 Speaker 2: one hundred thousand miles on it, and you know, it's 312 00:16:36,160 --> 00:16:39,800 Speaker 2: it's really kind of interesting. Ev app work is very 313 00:16:39,840 --> 00:16:42,240 Speaker 2: interesting to me. There's always a logical reason, always a 314 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 2: logical explanation, and you know, over the years it's become 315 00:16:47,680 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 2: i won't to say, more of a challenge, but more 316 00:16:49,960 --> 00:16:52,360 Speaker 2: of a quest that you know, every evapp problem can 317 00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,040 Speaker 2: be solved. I always think about the one we had 318 00:16:56,200 --> 00:16:59,480 Speaker 2: last year. We had a Dodge Durangle last year where 319 00:16:59,480 --> 00:17:04,359 Speaker 2: we proved it had a bad esum Covapuative system Integrity monitor, 320 00:17:04,359 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 2: which is the piece that controls flow out of the 321 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:09,960 Speaker 2: canister when the vehicle is off, and it also helps 322 00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:14,479 Speaker 2: run the EVAP monitor. The ESOM was bad, vehicle ran 323 00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:19,000 Speaker 2: its monitor, it passed, it had integrity, the system was working. 324 00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:21,840 Speaker 2: And then two weeks later we had a cold snap, 325 00:17:21,880 --> 00:17:24,920 Speaker 2: the weather changed. The car came back with the exact 326 00:17:25,160 --> 00:17:28,440 Speaker 2: same fault. The customer looked at me. I said, oh, 327 00:17:28,560 --> 00:17:30,680 Speaker 2: maybe it's a bad new ESOM. I mean, listen, bad 328 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,920 Speaker 2: new parts new never ever worked. It happens. I went 329 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:39,000 Speaker 2: through the diagnosis. Nope, ESOM was good. Everything checked out, 330 00:17:39,280 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 2: smoked it. Nope, everything was good, everything had integrity. And 331 00:17:42,240 --> 00:17:43,840 Speaker 2: then I don't know what made me do it, but 332 00:17:44,800 --> 00:17:46,240 Speaker 2: you know, if you look at some of the modern 333 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,680 Speaker 2: day vehicles, it's a rubber elbow with a hard plastic 334 00:17:49,720 --> 00:17:52,719 Speaker 2: code leading into the base of the engine where they 335 00:17:52,720 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 2: go into the throttle body or we'll go into the 336 00:17:54,560 --> 00:17:57,520 Speaker 2: intake whatever. And I just happened to with the smoke 337 00:17:57,640 --> 00:17:59,760 Speaker 2: machine on, I had no leak, and I happened to 338 00:18:00,200 --> 00:18:02,760 Speaker 2: lean on the elbow a little bit, and sure enough, 339 00:18:03,040 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 2: it was just enough of a twist that it started 340 00:18:07,160 --> 00:18:09,920 Speaker 2: letting smoke out. All of a sudden, we found our leak. 341 00:18:10,000 --> 00:18:13,119 Speaker 2: When it got real cold. The rubber contracted and caused 342 00:18:13,119 --> 00:18:15,679 Speaker 2: an EBAB failure. So it's always the little thing that 343 00:18:15,720 --> 00:18:17,840 Speaker 2: you find. I'm running eny in the card doctor. I'll 344 00:18:17,840 --> 00:18:44,320 Speaker 2: be back right after this. Don't go anywhere. Let's let's 345 00:18:44,320 --> 00:18:47,040 Speaker 2: go over to Let's go over to uh, let's go 346 00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:51,520 Speaker 2: to SID in Maine. Some transmission questions. Sid. Welcome to 347 00:18:51,520 --> 00:18:52,840 Speaker 2: the card doctor, Sir. How can I help? 348 00:18:53,560 --> 00:18:56,400 Speaker 6: Yes, sir, thank you, you're welcome. I'm sure you run 349 00:18:56,440 --> 00:18:59,560 Speaker 6: across there was they call it a splash pad under 350 00:18:59,560 --> 00:19:05,000 Speaker 6: those food transmissions that break up and dangle off. And yeah, 351 00:19:05,040 --> 00:19:08,400 Speaker 6: I mean, well it's I can't. 352 00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:11,479 Speaker 2: Understand the seventy thousand dollars for a vehicle. You think 353 00:19:11,480 --> 00:19:13,000 Speaker 2: they could come up with something better than that. 354 00:19:13,880 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 6: Yeah, and so you know I got one. In fact, 355 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:20,159 Speaker 6: there's a second truck. It's it's falling apart, and I 356 00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:23,720 Speaker 6: want to go with a skid plate to also help 357 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:30,760 Speaker 6: protect the catalytic convertise from theft. But it's quite as 358 00:19:31,560 --> 00:19:33,760 Speaker 6: They all look big if you want to, because you 359 00:19:33,840 --> 00:19:35,520 Speaker 6: have to have that out of the way to drain 360 00:19:35,600 --> 00:19:40,400 Speaker 6: the oil, right engine right, And I haven't found any 361 00:19:40,440 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 6: with there's one with a small oil a hole that 362 00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,399 Speaker 6: you can get up to it, but it's it's it 363 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,919 Speaker 6: needs a drain valve put on really so you can 364 00:19:49,920 --> 00:19:51,919 Speaker 6: put a hose on it. And it's I don't know 365 00:19:51,920 --> 00:19:54,240 Speaker 6: that I want to do that. So I wonder if 366 00:19:54,040 --> 00:19:56,200 Speaker 6: you've ever run across anything. 367 00:19:55,880 --> 00:19:58,879 Speaker 2: That you know, I've never run across it, but in 368 00:19:58,920 --> 00:20:03,680 Speaker 2: my mind saying if we can get a plate, that's 369 00:20:03,800 --> 00:20:05,320 Speaker 2: you know, we like the plate, we just don't like 370 00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:08,119 Speaker 2: the size of the hole. Why can't we take it 371 00:20:08,160 --> 00:20:10,159 Speaker 2: to a machine shop and have a door put in it? 372 00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,680 Speaker 6: Oh, I mean I can, yeah, And I got right. 373 00:20:14,480 --> 00:20:16,320 Speaker 6: You know this guy got stuff cut steel. 374 00:20:16,359 --> 00:20:19,159 Speaker 2: But yeah, right, why can't white? Why can't we just 375 00:20:19,160 --> 00:20:23,880 Speaker 2: put a flap in it? You know, like old school pajamas. Uh, 376 00:20:23,960 --> 00:20:25,600 Speaker 2: put a little put a little flap door in the 377 00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,880 Speaker 2: back of it. Uh, you know. And I often wonder 378 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 2: why car companies don't do that. Now, you know, we 379 00:20:31,760 --> 00:20:34,480 Speaker 2: look at the Ford the Escapes. You know, the same 380 00:20:34,480 --> 00:20:36,639 Speaker 2: guy must be making the splash pants for the Escapes 381 00:20:36,680 --> 00:20:39,200 Speaker 2: and the Edges and and some of the new Explorers too. 382 00:20:39,240 --> 00:20:43,399 Speaker 2: Because he's he's crazy. We put these, you know, self 383 00:20:43,400 --> 00:20:46,480 Speaker 2: threading screws into these little red and nylon washers or 384 00:20:46,480 --> 00:20:49,000 Speaker 2: I'm sorry, little red and nylon locknuts that are you know, 385 00:20:49,080 --> 00:20:51,440 Speaker 2: push push pressed into the frame if we want to 386 00:20:51,480 --> 00:20:54,040 Speaker 2: call that a frame. And you know, after fifty thousand miles, 387 00:20:54,040 --> 00:20:58,080 Speaker 2: no matter how easy you are, you will strip them 388 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:01,879 Speaker 2: out and then they start to fall out, and then 389 00:21:02,080 --> 00:21:03,840 Speaker 2: the shield loses some of the screws, and then you're 390 00:21:03,880 --> 00:21:05,520 Speaker 2: driving down the road of sixty miles an hour and 391 00:21:05,520 --> 00:21:09,720 Speaker 2: it falls off underneath the car. And the danger here 392 00:21:09,760 --> 00:21:12,400 Speaker 2: is there's two problems with this, the shields that I'm 393 00:21:12,440 --> 00:21:14,840 Speaker 2: speaking about and on yours. It's got its reasons too. 394 00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:17,040 Speaker 2: But the shields I'm speaking about on the on the 395 00:21:17,160 --> 00:21:20,520 Speaker 2: escapes will also have an air duct that puts cool 396 00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:22,960 Speaker 2: air directly up to the turbo to help keep it cool. 397 00:21:23,000 --> 00:21:26,320 Speaker 2: So if that shield falls off, and I see a 398 00:21:26,320 --> 00:21:27,719 Speaker 2: lot of them come in and they're missing, and I 399 00:21:27,720 --> 00:21:30,320 Speaker 2: have to explain to people if that turbo doesn't get 400 00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:33,160 Speaker 2: proper air, you know, the two hundred dollars you're saving 401 00:21:33,200 --> 00:21:36,479 Speaker 2: on the shield becomes a three thousand dollars turbo charger 402 00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:40,320 Speaker 2: in about ten thousand miles. So you know that's that's 403 00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:42,879 Speaker 2: an issue too. So yeah, why not listen you know 404 00:21:42,920 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 2: what I can. 405 00:21:44,280 --> 00:21:49,560 Speaker 6: See that, Yeah, there's critical I got, I got the 406 00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:52,520 Speaker 6: stuff to the cut holes in the plate. That's that's 407 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,720 Speaker 6: still problem. But okay, I just thought wonder if you'd 408 00:21:55,760 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 6: seen anything. 409 00:21:56,400 --> 00:21:59,320 Speaker 2: Now, Yeah, second question. 410 00:22:00,080 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 6: Other transmission thing. Difference between flush and fluid change do 411 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:11,679 Speaker 6: you recommend? 412 00:22:12,960 --> 00:22:21,200 Speaker 2: I hate the word flush. Flush denotes pressure. I like exchange, 413 00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,200 Speaker 2: all right. Now. The difference between a fill and an exchange. 414 00:22:26,840 --> 00:22:29,159 Speaker 2: A fill is I'm taking out a drain plug, I'm 415 00:22:29,240 --> 00:22:32,560 Speaker 2: draining something and I'm just refilling whatever fluid was in 416 00:22:32,600 --> 00:22:38,679 Speaker 2: the pan. An exchange denotes that I am somehow tying 417 00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:45,879 Speaker 2: into the transmissions, recirculation lines, the cooler lines, and I 418 00:22:45,960 --> 00:22:48,359 Speaker 2: am going to tie into that transmission, and I'm going 419 00:22:48,400 --> 00:22:50,080 Speaker 2: to take out a court and add a court, and 420 00:22:50,119 --> 00:22:52,480 Speaker 2: take out a court and add a court, and I'm 421 00:22:52,520 --> 00:22:55,120 Speaker 2: going to do so until I've either reached the capacity 422 00:22:55,240 --> 00:23:00,600 Speaker 2: of or based on color. Now on the old days, 423 00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:03,399 Speaker 2: and I'll back up for a quick second in the 424 00:23:03,440 --> 00:23:06,000 Speaker 2: old days, going back the old days and order repairs 425 00:23:06,040 --> 00:23:09,400 Speaker 2: ten years ago, you know, ten years ago, when more 426 00:23:09,440 --> 00:23:12,320 Speaker 2: cars had dipsticks, we would do this. We would do 427 00:23:12,359 --> 00:23:15,560 Speaker 2: a transmission fluid exchange with a dipstick line going down, 428 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,040 Speaker 2: with a tube going down the dipstick and it was. 429 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:21,560 Speaker 2: You know, it's kind of sweet you'd get a car 430 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,760 Speaker 2: forty fifty thousand miles, you know, like the color of 431 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:26,119 Speaker 2: the fluid out it comes. 432 00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:30,840 Speaker 6: But that you're not talking about filthy yet, right, Yeah. 433 00:23:30,960 --> 00:23:35,520 Speaker 2: And that's what I'm coming to in my in my experience, 434 00:23:36,240 --> 00:23:41,240 Speaker 2: all right, most of the time doing an exchange down 435 00:23:41,280 --> 00:23:44,520 Speaker 2: a dipstick or at a cooler line at that let's 436 00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:48,160 Speaker 2: call it fifty, let's round it off, fifty thousand miles mark, we'll, we'll, we'll, 437 00:23:48,359 --> 00:23:50,560 Speaker 2: And it varies a little bit because it varies on 438 00:23:50,680 --> 00:23:52,960 Speaker 2: vehicle and color of fluid and condition and so forth. 439 00:23:53,200 --> 00:23:56,639 Speaker 2: If we do a fluid exchange at fifty, I'm fine. 440 00:23:56,680 --> 00:23:59,639 Speaker 2: Doing a fluid exchange at sixty, and then doing a 441 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:04,720 Speaker 2: fluid and filter exchange at one hundred, I see, all right, 442 00:24:05,160 --> 00:24:09,520 Speaker 2: you know, if I've got super dirty fluid at forty 443 00:24:09,520 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 2: five fifty thousand miles, and I do an exchange, and 444 00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:16,719 Speaker 2: at the next oil change, when I check the fluid 445 00:24:16,760 --> 00:24:19,000 Speaker 2: like I'm supposed to, if I'm doing that because I'm 446 00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,840 Speaker 2: a competent shop and all of a sudden the fluid's 447 00:24:21,840 --> 00:24:25,160 Speaker 2: turned color again. Now I'm wondering, is something coming apart? 448 00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:28,399 Speaker 2: Now I may drop the pan on an inquiry and 449 00:24:29,280 --> 00:24:30,800 Speaker 2: you know, and then I'll get into but it's it's 450 00:24:31,040 --> 00:24:33,240 Speaker 2: And the only reason I say that' sid is because 451 00:24:33,280 --> 00:24:37,119 Speaker 2: sometimes changing filters on some of these vehicles GM products 452 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:41,399 Speaker 2: a Chevy suburban. Oh my lord, what a nightmare. You know, 453 00:24:42,560 --> 00:24:45,520 Speaker 2: the same genius that designed those fiber board covers for 454 00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:48,439 Speaker 2: the Ford transmissions, he must have he must have a 455 00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:50,800 Speaker 2: brother in law that works for GM, because this guy 456 00:24:50,800 --> 00:24:53,800 Speaker 2: put the exhaust pipe right under the transpan, so neither 457 00:24:53,840 --> 00:24:55,720 Speaker 2: one of them wanted to gain access to the trans 458 00:24:55,720 --> 00:24:59,480 Speaker 2: to service it. All right. And you know, in the 459 00:24:59,520 --> 00:25:01,840 Speaker 2: case of the GMS, it's either you're going to unbolt 460 00:25:01,840 --> 00:25:05,680 Speaker 2: the front pipe. Unbolt the front pipe from the manifolds. 461 00:25:05,800 --> 00:25:07,359 Speaker 2: I want to see somebody do that at one hundred 462 00:25:07,359 --> 00:25:10,600 Speaker 2: thousand miles when the nuts are rusted on in the northeast, 463 00:25:10,960 --> 00:25:14,640 Speaker 2: all right. Or you've got this big Gigundis pride bar 464 00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,200 Speaker 2: that we like to think of as the workout tool, 465 00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,199 Speaker 2: and one of us will wedge it up against the 466 00:25:20,240 --> 00:25:22,359 Speaker 2: pipe and the cross member, and if you get it 467 00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,600 Speaker 2: just right, you can stress it just enough that while 468 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,360 Speaker 2: one guy's holding the pipe in place, the other guy 469 00:25:28,359 --> 00:25:32,680 Speaker 2: can lower the pan and it's you know, I feel 470 00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:34,680 Speaker 2: bad doing it, but I know of no other way 471 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:37,600 Speaker 2: to do it with any kind of credibility or practical 472 00:25:37,680 --> 00:25:42,119 Speaker 2: financial resolve, you know. So but yeah, I like that. 473 00:25:42,200 --> 00:25:46,040 Speaker 2: I like doing an exchange like that, you know. So 474 00:25:46,960 --> 00:25:48,399 Speaker 2: what do you have a ten speed in your f 475 00:25:48,440 --> 00:25:49,000 Speaker 2: one fifty? 476 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:49,320 Speaker 6: Yes? 477 00:25:49,560 --> 00:25:53,639 Speaker 2: Yeah, you know. Then there's that story because and I 478 00:25:53,680 --> 00:25:57,479 Speaker 2: don't say this wishing it upon you, but changing fluid 479 00:25:57,480 --> 00:25:59,479 Speaker 2: on a four to ten speed is almost a useless 480 00:25:59,520 --> 00:26:02,080 Speaker 2: task because you'll probably change the transmission before the fluid 481 00:26:02,119 --> 00:26:07,000 Speaker 2: wear is out because they're so problematic. And I realize 482 00:26:07,040 --> 00:26:08,520 Speaker 2: a lot of people might be cringing to hear me 483 00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,520 Speaker 2: say that, but it's got to be Forlord's biggest problem. 484 00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,040 Speaker 2: Right now, I haven't had a customer. I haven't had 485 00:26:14,040 --> 00:26:16,960 Speaker 2: a customer with a ten speed forward trends right now 486 00:26:17,000 --> 00:26:21,680 Speaker 2: go past the sixty thousand mile mark without it being rebuilt. Really, yeah, 487 00:26:21,720 --> 00:26:25,920 Speaker 2: it's just incredible. Fortunately for most of them to this point, 488 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:29,080 Speaker 2: everything's been under warranty. But we'll see what the future brings, so, 489 00:26:29,880 --> 00:26:32,520 Speaker 2: you know, and look, i'd love to be wrong. I 490 00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:37,000 Speaker 2: still like Ford as a product, I really do, but 491 00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,520 Speaker 2: they've had their problems with their transmissions, and you know, 492 00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:42,840 Speaker 2: it seems like every time they try to make an improvement, 493 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,080 Speaker 2: it doesn't help or it makes it worse. 494 00:26:46,440 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 6: So enough said, I talked to you a little less 495 00:26:50,760 --> 00:26:53,600 Speaker 6: of a year ago. I had all consumption issues from 496 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:58,040 Speaker 6: new and it finally killed the cats and they replace 497 00:26:58,119 --> 00:27:01,600 Speaker 6: those and then they finally replaced the engine right once once, 498 00:27:01,920 --> 00:27:05,560 Speaker 6: and that's been that's been fine. Right, it's a it's a. 499 00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,320 Speaker 2: You know, it's it's it's sad because and then I 500 00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:13,320 Speaker 2: gotta go. But it's sad, said, because you know, what 501 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:16,640 Speaker 2: I've learned in my fifty plus years of repairing cars 502 00:27:16,760 --> 00:27:18,280 Speaker 2: is a new term that always pops into my head 503 00:27:18,280 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 2: when somebody says, what kind of car should I buy? 504 00:27:20,400 --> 00:27:23,920 Speaker 2: And that's you're buying the culture of repair. How does 505 00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 2: the corporation allow the dealer to repair that vehicle? And 506 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:33,480 Speaker 2: it's it's sometimes the corporation hog ties the dealer. Let's 507 00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:35,640 Speaker 2: try this first before we do that. 508 00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,560 Speaker 6: Yes, And and I. 509 00:27:38,280 --> 00:27:40,760 Speaker 2: Just and and then and then you know what happens. 510 00:27:41,760 --> 00:27:44,360 Speaker 2: Then people go buy other cars. And that's the part. 511 00:27:44,440 --> 00:27:47,679 Speaker 2: That's the part I don't understand. That's the part I 512 00:27:47,760 --> 00:27:51,800 Speaker 2: just don't understand. So but all right, sir, listen, go 513 00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,040 Speaker 2: do what you gotta do. Send me pictures of what 514 00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:55,639 Speaker 2: you create. Who knows you may you may have to 515 00:27:55,640 --> 00:27:57,600 Speaker 2: go get a patent on it. It may be creating something 516 00:27:57,640 --> 00:28:00,960 Speaker 2: that the rest of the world needs. All right, said, 517 00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,280 Speaker 2: You'll be well, yes, sir eight five five five six 518 00:28:03,400 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 2: zero nine nine zero zero running any in the car doctor, 519 00:28:05,920 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 2: I'll be back right after this. 520 00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:10,159 Speaker 4: He's gone, and. 521 00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:24,560 Speaker 2: So let's go over. Let's go talk to Gene. Gene 522 00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:27,359 Speaker 2: is down south. It says ninety nine infinity Gene, Welcome 523 00:28:27,400 --> 00:28:28,560 Speaker 2: to the car doctor. How can I help? 524 00:28:30,640 --> 00:28:34,240 Speaker 3: Thanks? Uh? I have two issues, two main issues. A 525 00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:39,160 Speaker 3: turnover the car doesn't like, the doesn't x like, it 526 00:28:39,200 --> 00:28:42,760 Speaker 3: doesn't want to start, doesn't want to turn over. And 527 00:28:42,760 --> 00:28:45,400 Speaker 3: then once it's up and running, there are times where 528 00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:49,880 Speaker 3: sometimes it slows down and the acceleration or hesitates. You know, 529 00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:51,640 Speaker 3: you hit the gas and you expect it to go 530 00:28:51,800 --> 00:28:53,440 Speaker 3: and it kind of doesn't. 531 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 2: Okay, So when let's let's let's talk about the first 532 00:28:56,080 --> 00:28:58,480 Speaker 2: one first. When you say it doesn't want to turn over, 533 00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:01,040 Speaker 2: are you are you saying that you turn the key 534 00:29:01,160 --> 00:29:04,640 Speaker 2: and the engine cranks unevenly before it starts or it 535 00:29:04,720 --> 00:29:06,120 Speaker 2: is a hard time to start. 536 00:29:09,080 --> 00:29:15,960 Speaker 3: Uh, yeah, I think it. It tries to crank. You 537 00:29:16,040 --> 00:29:20,560 Speaker 3: crank so neat. I mean it's just hard to you know, 538 00:29:20,640 --> 00:29:25,920 Speaker 3: it'll you know, it'll have I mean, I don't know 539 00:29:25,920 --> 00:29:26,479 Speaker 3: how to say it. 540 00:29:26,520 --> 00:29:27,600 Speaker 5: Really is it? 541 00:29:27,640 --> 00:29:29,600 Speaker 2: Is it? Is it that the engine? Is it that 542 00:29:29,640 --> 00:29:33,000 Speaker 2: the starter's not engaging to crank the engine over? 543 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,000 Speaker 6: Uh? 544 00:29:37,080 --> 00:29:39,760 Speaker 2: If you had somebody here, let's do this. Have somebody, 545 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,520 Speaker 2: have somebody sit in the car yep, and try to 546 00:29:43,600 --> 00:29:46,640 Speaker 2: start it. You go out, You go out and lift 547 00:29:46,680 --> 00:29:51,360 Speaker 2: the hood and watch the alternator or the belts as 548 00:29:51,400 --> 00:29:53,680 Speaker 2: they as they crank it. Do they move smooth and 549 00:29:53,720 --> 00:29:56,600 Speaker 2: easy or do they hesitate? Is it is it that 550 00:29:56,680 --> 00:29:59,040 Speaker 2: you hear noise from under the hood but nothing's happening 551 00:29:59,080 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 2: with the belts, that the belts aren't rotating. 552 00:30:02,840 --> 00:30:07,200 Speaker 3: Uh, I'm uh, I'm actually in the car now. 553 00:30:07,880 --> 00:30:09,440 Speaker 2: We need we need a second person. 554 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:14,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I actually got a second person here yep. And uh, 555 00:30:15,280 --> 00:30:16,720 Speaker 3: if you just give me a minute. 556 00:30:17,360 --> 00:30:19,080 Speaker 2: You gotta be quick though, because we're running out of 557 00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 2: time this segment. I've got two minutes left now. I 558 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,000 Speaker 2: could talk for two minutes, or we can try and 559 00:30:24,040 --> 00:30:24,400 Speaker 2: solve this. 560 00:30:25,960 --> 00:30:26,320 Speaker 3: Go ahead. 561 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 2: There's a lot of windown South today. Hey, it's live. 562 00:30:31,720 --> 00:30:36,080 Speaker 2: It's live radio, folks. You can't make this up. I'm 563 00:30:36,120 --> 00:30:42,600 Speaker 2: loving it. Go ahead, okay, we're all waiting to hear 564 00:30:42,640 --> 00:30:44,400 Speaker 2: from Jem. Now here comes the report. 565 00:30:46,320 --> 00:30:48,520 Speaker 3: All right, say again, that's all right. 566 00:30:48,720 --> 00:30:49,920 Speaker 2: So somebody's in the car. 567 00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:52,880 Speaker 3: What they were? 568 00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,040 Speaker 2: All right? Well, have somebody? Have somebody hit the start 569 00:30:56,040 --> 00:30:58,400 Speaker 2: button while you watch it? Does the engine turn over smoothly? 570 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:01,640 Speaker 2: We're to be quiet now while Jane goes to start 571 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 2: the car. 572 00:31:02,840 --> 00:31:05,840 Speaker 3: Oh so now so okay, so so I'm going to 573 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 3: start it. 574 00:31:06,520 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 2: Well, somebody's got it. Somebody's got to hit the key 575 00:31:09,640 --> 00:31:11,720 Speaker 2: to start it. And somebody's got to watch the belts 576 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:15,640 Speaker 2: as they move. That's the catch. Okay, all right, let 577 00:31:15,720 --> 00:31:19,000 Speaker 2: us know when Okay, America is waiting. 578 00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:23,400 Speaker 3: Okay. Now, the first time I was watching the belts 579 00:31:23,400 --> 00:31:25,560 Speaker 3: and they looked like they It didn't squeal, but it 580 00:31:25,600 --> 00:31:27,400 Speaker 3: looked like they were here we go again. 581 00:31:31,080 --> 00:31:31,960 Speaker 2: That sounded all right? 582 00:31:33,160 --> 00:31:34,040 Speaker 3: All right, say it again. 583 00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 2: That sounded all right? 584 00:31:35,800 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 3: Yeah it didn't. It looked sorry too. 585 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:40,480 Speaker 2: Okay, So guess what. It's an intermittent problem. Try it 586 00:31:40,520 --> 00:31:43,280 Speaker 2: tomorrow when it's cold. Let's talk about the second problem. 587 00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 2: What was the second problem? 588 00:31:45,760 --> 00:31:49,320 Speaker 3: What's the uh accelerate like when you you know, after 589 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:53,080 Speaker 3: you're driving, you know, you hit the accelerators, it seems 590 00:31:53,120 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 3: to like kind of bog. It's not it's not responding. 591 00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:59,200 Speaker 2: Okay, how many miles are on this gene? And I'm 592 00:31:59,280 --> 00:32:01,280 Speaker 2: running out of time, so let's just let's just cut 593 00:32:01,280 --> 00:32:02,800 Speaker 2: to the chase. How many miles are on this. 594 00:32:04,400 --> 00:32:06,560 Speaker 3: So when the when the O dometer is working? And 595 00:32:06,640 --> 00:32:12,160 Speaker 3: that's another issue, right, one hundred and thirty two thousand five, Right. 596 00:32:12,560 --> 00:32:14,240 Speaker 2: So I'm going to tell you. I'm going to say 597 00:32:14,240 --> 00:32:17,400 Speaker 2: two things to you, all right. Number one, this is 598 00:32:17,400 --> 00:32:20,200 Speaker 2: the kind of car based on its agent mileage, we 599 00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,000 Speaker 2: sort of need to do a heart rate and blood 600 00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:23,880 Speaker 2: pressure test because you're going to tell me there's no 601 00:32:23,960 --> 00:32:27,160 Speaker 2: check engine light on, right or is there no? 602 00:32:27,160 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 3: There's no check in right, right? 603 00:32:28,680 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 2: So we want to know. We want to know fuel trim, 604 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,360 Speaker 2: We want to know mass airflow calculation. We want to 605 00:32:34,400 --> 00:32:38,960 Speaker 2: know will this vehicle pass something called the volumetric efficiency testing? 606 00:32:39,360 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 2: All right? And these are all things we can talk 607 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:43,400 Speaker 2: about in depth. But the first thing I want you 608 00:32:43,480 --> 00:32:45,720 Speaker 2: to try and do this week is have somebody do 609 00:32:45,760 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 2: a fuel pressure test to this vehicle and specifically check 610 00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:53,720 Speaker 2: the fuel pressure regulator to make sure that it's operating. Okay, 611 00:32:53,960 --> 00:32:56,040 Speaker 2: so we're going to start with a fuel pressure check 612 00:32:56,280 --> 00:32:59,440 Speaker 2: and vitals to determine what sort of shape this vehicle 613 00:32:59,520 --> 00:33:01,400 Speaker 2: is in, and then we can kind of talk about 614 00:33:01,440 --> 00:33:03,360 Speaker 2: it from there. Do those things. I'm out of time. 615 00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:06,360 Speaker 2: I appreciate the call, and we'll continue to work on this. 616 00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,640 Speaker 2: I'm ronning Andy and the car doctor. We're back right 617 00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:23,880 Speaker 2: after this promise. Hey, I want to I want to 618 00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,520 Speaker 2: go back and revisit Jean's infinity there. You know, I 619 00:33:26,520 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 2: know he's not on the line, maybe he's still listening, 620 00:33:28,280 --> 00:33:30,160 Speaker 2: but I want to also, you know, tell you where 621 00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:32,800 Speaker 2: my thought process was going. You know, it's a it's 622 00:33:32,840 --> 00:33:36,040 Speaker 2: a it's a twenty see ninety nine, twenty nine nineteen, 623 00:33:36,160 --> 00:33:38,800 Speaker 2: it's a twenty five almost twenty six year old vehicle. 624 00:33:38,840 --> 00:33:40,719 Speaker 2: And I think he said four hundred and thirty two 625 00:33:40,840 --> 00:33:45,560 Speaker 2: thousand miles right, so, and with no check engine line on, 626 00:33:45,560 --> 00:33:47,000 Speaker 2: where do you go? Well, you know, you don't sit 627 00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,240 Speaker 2: there and say, well, you can't diagnose that. You've got 628 00:33:49,240 --> 00:33:51,680 Speaker 2: to look at vitals. You've got to look at you know, 629 00:33:51,760 --> 00:33:53,640 Speaker 2: tell me what's good. This is a tell me what's 630 00:33:53,640 --> 00:33:56,640 Speaker 2: good car? All right, I'll and I'll tell you what's bad. 631 00:33:57,080 --> 00:33:59,440 Speaker 2: Let's look at fuel pressure, all right. I want to 632 00:33:59,440 --> 00:34:02,360 Speaker 2: know that fuel pressure is consistent on an older vehicle. 633 00:34:02,480 --> 00:34:04,360 Speaker 2: I also want to do a fuel sample test, which 634 00:34:04,400 --> 00:34:07,840 Speaker 2: is something i'll do when I have the fuel lines disconnected. Okay, 635 00:34:07,960 --> 00:34:09,960 Speaker 2: does the car meet fuel standards? 636 00:34:10,000 --> 00:34:10,480 Speaker 1: Is it? 637 00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:12,960 Speaker 2: If you've been putting E fifteen in it? Does it 638 00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:15,000 Speaker 2: have E fifteen fuel in it? And you can tell 639 00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 2: that with an ethanol vial? And that's I got to 640 00:34:17,560 --> 00:34:21,240 Speaker 2: tell you. Testing fuel and fuel quality is fast becoming 641 00:34:21,239 --> 00:34:24,200 Speaker 2: one of our standards in our diagnostic tests because we're 642 00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:27,200 Speaker 2: finding an awful lot of vehicles are running substandard fuel 643 00:34:27,400 --> 00:34:30,680 Speaker 2: fuel that is mixed improperly. I'm not saying one brand 644 00:34:30,719 --> 00:34:34,520 Speaker 2: is better than the other, but it's either wrong fuel 645 00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,600 Speaker 2: or bad quality that we're seeing. Okay, I would do 646 00:34:37,640 --> 00:34:41,200 Speaker 2: a fuel system cleaning, a BG fuel system cleaning, read Moore, EG, 647 00:34:42,080 --> 00:34:46,560 Speaker 2: bgfuelsystem dot Com, look it up, Google it. But you know, 648 00:34:47,040 --> 00:34:49,440 Speaker 2: a carbon cleaning from BG would do wonders for a 649 00:34:49,520 --> 00:34:51,640 Speaker 2: vehicle like that. But you've still got to go through 650 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,560 Speaker 2: and tell me. Tell me what's good. I'll tell you 651 00:34:53,600 --> 00:34:55,600 Speaker 2: what's bad. Till the next time. I'm not an ady 652 00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,840 Speaker 2: in the car, doctor. Good mechanics aren't expensive, they're placeless. 653 00:34:58,840 --> 00:34:59,160 Speaker 2: See y
