1
00:00:02,400 --> 00:00:04,680
Speaker 1: Ron and Anian not a fan of all short tires,

2
00:00:04,840 --> 00:00:08,760
Speaker 1: you know, pilandum and all the other strange places tire

3
00:00:08,800 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: seemed to be coming from. Now, you know, I don't

4
00:00:11,200 --> 00:00:13,720
Speaker 1: see great where great durability. You know they are what

5
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,440
Speaker 1: they are, the chief tires, and say, yeah, I want

6
00:00:17,440 --> 00:00:24,520
Speaker 1: to be in the jackdown. That's great, get all with fire,

7
00:00:28,120 --> 00:00:30,480
Speaker 1: that car Doctor. I didn't write anything down, but I

8
00:00:30,520 --> 00:00:32,159
Speaker 1: don't have to because I can just looten to your

9
00:00:32,200 --> 00:00:34,600
Speaker 1: podcast here in a couple of hours and I'll write

10
00:00:34,600 --> 00:00:36,519
Speaker 1: everything down there. And you know I should point out

11
00:00:36,560 --> 00:00:38,840
Speaker 1: that's the beauty of coming on there. You know. Once,

12
00:00:38,960 --> 00:00:41,800
Speaker 1: once this broadcast radio show becomes a podcast, then it's

13
00:00:41,800 --> 00:00:45,160
Speaker 1: a library. Welcome to the radio home of Ron and Anian,

14
00:00:45,400 --> 00:00:48,720
Speaker 1: the Car Doctor. Since nineteen ninety one, this is where

15
00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:52,640
Speaker 1: car owners the world overturned to for their definitive opinion

16
00:00:52,720 --> 00:00:56,640
Speaker 1: on automotive repair. If your mechanics giving you a busy signal,

17
00:00:56,800 --> 00:00:59,960
Speaker 1: pick up the phone and call in the garage to order.

18
00:01:00,240 --> 00:01:02,280
Speaker 1: Are open, but I am here to take your calls

19
00:01:02,520 --> 00:01:11,080
Speaker 1: at eight five five and now running well, well, well,

20
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: I want to talk about cooks and chefs. Um, it's

21
00:01:14,600 --> 00:01:17,920
Speaker 1: just where I want to go, you know, I like cooking.

22
00:01:18,240 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: I think cooking is a very important part of life.

23
00:01:21,360 --> 00:01:24,600
Speaker 1: I like to eat, and I think there's cooks in

24
00:01:24,640 --> 00:01:26,320
Speaker 1: the world, and I think there's chefs in the world.

25
00:01:27,240 --> 00:01:29,640
Speaker 1: And I think that's the way it is with auto

26
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:31,600
Speaker 1: mechanics too. I think there are some cooks out there.

27
00:01:31,680 --> 00:01:34,240
Speaker 1: I think there are some chefs out there. I'm not

28
00:01:34,280 --> 00:01:36,800
Speaker 1: really a chef when it comes to the kitchen. I

29
00:01:36,880 --> 00:01:39,400
Speaker 1: kind of follow the recipe book, and you know, it

30
00:01:39,880 --> 00:01:42,559
Speaker 1: sort of behooves me to you know, if it says

31
00:01:42,560 --> 00:01:44,520
Speaker 1: a pinch of salt, I hate to put in more

32
00:01:44,560 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 1: than a pinch. It just bothers me. It goes against

33
00:01:47,040 --> 00:01:51,000
Speaker 1: the grain, so to speak, no pun intended. But when

34
00:01:51,040 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 1: I'm in the shop, I think that's the time you

35
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,920
Speaker 1: have to throw the book away. Sometimes there's places where

36
00:01:55,920 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: you have to follow a procedure. You know, you've got

37
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 1: to go through steps one through ten on a diagnos

38
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,480
Speaker 1: and you can't skip the four and then seven and

39
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:06,360
Speaker 1: then nine and expect to complete it correctly or accurately

40
00:02:06,440 --> 00:02:10,640
Speaker 1: or fairly or on time. But I think that there

41
00:02:10,720 --> 00:02:14,400
Speaker 1: is a clear difference between mechanics that summer cooks and

42
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:18,440
Speaker 1: summer chefs. The chefs know what to do. The chefs

43
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,079
Speaker 1: know what sort of let us and tomatoes to put

44
00:02:21,120 --> 00:02:23,920
Speaker 1: into the car to make it run right. The cooks

45
00:02:23,960 --> 00:02:26,480
Speaker 1: don't care. The cooks are just doing what the bus

46
00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: told them to do, which, okay, I get it. They're

47
00:02:28,440 --> 00:02:30,840
Speaker 1: the boss. They're just following what the bus says to

48
00:02:30,919 --> 00:02:33,880
Speaker 1: keep their job because they haven't found a better one yet.

49
00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:38,880
Speaker 1: But you know, there's a time and a place. I

50
00:02:38,919 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: see too many examples as time goes by of too

51
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:44,920
Speaker 1: many cooks in the business. We need more chefs. We

52
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,800
Speaker 1: need more guys that can think on their feet, or

53
00:02:46,840 --> 00:02:50,240
Speaker 1: girls they can think on their feet and you know,

54
00:02:51,160 --> 00:02:55,720
Speaker 1: be proactive and approach it as a problem. Problems solve

55
00:02:55,800 --> 00:02:59,120
Speaker 1: outside the box. I just think it's too important. You know,

56
00:02:59,160 --> 00:03:03,639
Speaker 1: we're dealing with something that's just too important and too

57
00:03:03,639 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: big a piece of our life. I think about the

58
00:03:07,160 --> 00:03:09,240
Speaker 1: times people bring me cars that you know they've been

59
00:03:09,240 --> 00:03:12,160
Speaker 1: in another shop and it's it's clearly got a problem

60
00:03:12,200 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 1: with it, and you can see that they did something wrong.

61
00:03:16,400 --> 00:03:19,639
Speaker 1: They followed procedure, they didn't. They didn't really care how

62
00:03:19,680 --> 00:03:22,480
Speaker 1: the meal came out. They were just you know, put

63
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:25,040
Speaker 1: the axcelent. It doesn't matter. Put the accelent and ship it,

64
00:03:25,080 --> 00:03:27,760
Speaker 1: get rid of it, get it out the door. And

65
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:31,360
Speaker 1: that's the fault. You know, when you walk into a

66
00:03:31,440 --> 00:03:35,520
Speaker 1: repair shop, if you're in, if you're really approaching it correctly,

67
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:40,840
Speaker 1: you realize you're paying not just for the labor of

68
00:03:40,880 --> 00:03:43,040
Speaker 1: the mechanic to do the job, but you're paying for

69
00:03:43,080 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 1: that mechanics expertise. You're paying for them knowing what led

70
00:03:47,760 --> 00:03:50,680
Speaker 1: us in tomatoes to put in the car, and you're

71
00:03:50,760 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: you're not going to question it because it's important, and

72
00:03:56,320 --> 00:03:58,440
Speaker 1: it happens. Listen, it happens to us. We've had people

73
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:01,200
Speaker 1: I had I've had people in the last month question

74
00:04:01,280 --> 00:04:03,240
Speaker 1: why I'm using a certain brand of part and why

75
00:04:03,240 --> 00:04:05,560
Speaker 1: aren't I using In this case, it was why aren't

76
00:04:05,560 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: I using a dealer part? Well, the dealer part was

77
00:04:08,320 --> 00:04:10,040
Speaker 1: the same part I was using. It was just by

78
00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:14,800
Speaker 1: the actual manufacturer. And I have a better warranty from

79
00:04:14,800 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 1: the actual manufacturer than I do from the dealer part.

80
00:04:17,560 --> 00:04:19,760
Speaker 1: So why wouldn't I buy you the better warranty because

81
00:04:19,800 --> 00:04:22,919
Speaker 1: that's what you're you know, that's what you're paying me for.

82
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:24,720
Speaker 1: You're paying me because I know what led us and

83
00:04:24,760 --> 00:04:28,599
Speaker 1: tomatoes to put in the salad. See in the shop,

84
00:04:28,720 --> 00:04:32,320
Speaker 1: I think I'm a chef. In the kitchen, I'm just

85
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:36,480
Speaker 1: cooking so and there's a huge difference between that. So

86
00:04:36,960 --> 00:04:39,480
Speaker 1: when you're picking a mechanic or you're talking to your mechanic,

87
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:42,479
Speaker 1: you gotta start asking yourself, what kind of a cooker

88
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: a chef is this person? Do I trust them? You know,

89
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:47,880
Speaker 1: I've actually had people tell me, well, you know, I'm

90
00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: not sure if I trust you, but I'll give you

91
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,719
Speaker 1: a try. Gee, thanks for the honor. I'm so thrilled.

92
00:04:53,520 --> 00:04:56,960
Speaker 1: You know, I realized trust is earned, not expected, and

93
00:04:57,040 --> 00:04:59,720
Speaker 1: not just given. But people should have a funny way

94
00:04:59,720 --> 00:05:02,680
Speaker 1: of a coaching it and showing it sometimes. So just

95
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,279
Speaker 1: cooks and chefs, I just you know, you're paying for

96
00:05:05,320 --> 00:05:08,320
Speaker 1: their expertise. Do you really understand that? I just wanted

97
00:05:08,320 --> 00:05:10,080
Speaker 1: you to think about that. As we move forward today,

98
00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:12,320
Speaker 1: let's get over to Dan in Connecticut. As we kick

99
00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,080
Speaker 1: open the garage doors this hour nineteen jeep, compass and

100
00:05:15,080 --> 00:05:17,240
Speaker 1: a battery going Dad, Dan, Welcome to the car, doctor, sir,

101
00:05:17,279 --> 00:05:21,200
Speaker 1: how can I help? Hey, Ron, it's my daughter's car. Okay.

102
00:05:21,279 --> 00:05:23,760
Speaker 1: We jumped at a couple of times. Took the jump.

103
00:05:24,600 --> 00:05:26,440
Speaker 1: I was wondering if if then a job I can

104
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:30,279
Speaker 1: do myself. You know, it's got the two batteries start

105
00:05:30,320 --> 00:05:33,560
Speaker 1: stop one two, right, which which battery? Which battery is

106
00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:38,480
Speaker 1: actually going going dead? Dan the Well, I jumped the primary, okay,

107
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:42,280
Speaker 1: and it took it took the jump. Um, no, I

108
00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: don't know if I have to put a memory saver

109
00:05:43,960 --> 00:05:46,279
Speaker 1: or something in that, or if I should pay somebody

110
00:05:46,320 --> 00:05:49,440
Speaker 1: to do that. Well, well, I'm a little confused. Is

111
00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:52,880
Speaker 1: it that you want to replace the battery or you

112
00:05:52,880 --> 00:05:57,719
Speaker 1: want to diagnose the problem? Yeah, well good question. I

113
00:05:57,760 --> 00:06:00,240
Speaker 1: was going to try to replace the battery. Well, but

114
00:06:00,279 --> 00:06:01,719
Speaker 1: how do you know you know, how do you know

115
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: the batteries bad? Yeah? Well, I know, right, and check

116
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:11,599
Speaker 1: that check that you know, this is a nineteen it's

117
00:06:11,680 --> 00:06:14,480
Speaker 1: it's three going on four years old, depending upon when

118
00:06:14,520 --> 00:06:17,000
Speaker 1: she bought it. And listen, it could be a bad battery,

119
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: but that's likely an AGM battery, an absolute glass matt

120
00:06:20,720 --> 00:06:24,160
Speaker 1: and they tend to last, you know, four going on

121
00:06:24,240 --> 00:06:27,680
Speaker 1: five years, five years typically maybe a little longer. Um.

122
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:31,160
Speaker 1: You know, they they're they're a better breed of battery.

123
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:35,760
Speaker 1: So you know, before we just start randomly replacing it,

124
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: do this if you want a little knowledge, a little education.

125
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:41,360
Speaker 1: Go out to auto batteries dot com. Auto batteries dot

126
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: com is a great website talking about batteries and how

127
00:06:44,440 --> 00:06:46,520
Speaker 1: they're made, how they're constructed, how to test them, how

128
00:06:46,520 --> 00:06:50,360
Speaker 1: to replace them. There's a battery replacement guide there. So

129
00:06:50,400 --> 00:06:52,520
Speaker 1: if you're thinking of replacing the battery in this car

130
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:54,599
Speaker 1: before you even go down to your local autoparts store,

131
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: all right, you know, let's let's let's start there and

132
00:06:58,160 --> 00:07:00,400
Speaker 1: get some knowledge. Knowledge is always a good thing, right,

133
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:03,200
Speaker 1: we like knowledge. You always win with knowledge. You know,

134
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:05,560
Speaker 1: it's unemotional. So get out to auto batteries dot com.

135
00:07:05,560 --> 00:07:08,479
Speaker 1: That's number one. Number two. You know, does this have

136
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,720
Speaker 1: a drain? You know, is is she the original owner

137
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:14,200
Speaker 1: on the vehicle or you or you know as he

138
00:07:14,400 --> 00:07:18,000
Speaker 1: is the original owners the in the family? No, somebody

139
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:24,880
Speaker 1: had it. Yeah, okay, so she's had it a while though, correct, Yeah,

140
00:07:24,920 --> 00:07:29,440
Speaker 1: all right, so you know the question becomes then you know,

141
00:07:30,360 --> 00:07:33,200
Speaker 1: is there a drain on? It? Is something being left on?

142
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:37,080
Speaker 1: And you know, I wouldn't take her word for it. Listen,

143
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:38,560
Speaker 1: if you brought it to the shop, I wouldn't take

144
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,240
Speaker 1: your word for it either. I'd go through the car

145
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:43,480
Speaker 1: and it's a. It's a simple enough test. We're gonna

146
00:07:43,520 --> 00:07:46,200
Speaker 1: put a digital volt domemeter on it. What do you

147
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:50,680
Speaker 1: do for a living? Then? Before I go off on this, Okay,

148
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,080
Speaker 1: so you got you got some technical skills? Right? Yeah?

149
00:07:55,080 --> 00:07:58,080
Speaker 1: Do you do you use meters? Digital voltomemeter? Do you ever?

150
00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:03,080
Speaker 1: Do you ever come across them in your work? One? Here? Though?

151
00:08:03,720 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: Can you measure milk? Can you measure Ambridge and Milliamtraw?

152
00:08:08,080 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: I'm not sure how to do that? But if your

153
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:12,560
Speaker 1: meter has Milliam, so well listen you can you know? Again,

154
00:08:12,600 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: you might see it at auto Batteries dot com, but

155
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: you can also get out to I'm sure there's more

156
00:08:16,600 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: than a few YouTube videos. I should probably write that

157
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:21,000
Speaker 1: down and maybe do it. Maybe do it. I think

158
00:08:21,040 --> 00:08:23,120
Speaker 1: I do have a on my YouTube channel. I might

159
00:08:23,160 --> 00:08:25,720
Speaker 1: have a milliamtra. I should add that to the library.

160
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,000
Speaker 1: I'll write that down. So research Kathy. If you're listening,

161
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,400
Speaker 1: Kathy will remind me. I want to do a video

162
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:34,440
Speaker 1: on Milliamtraw. Seeing that's why I have research Kathy. She's

163
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,280
Speaker 1: the she's the real guts of the show. Um Um,

164
00:08:38,520 --> 00:08:41,520
Speaker 1: you want to do a milliamtra? All right? And what

165
00:08:41,559 --> 00:08:45,520
Speaker 1: you're gonna do is you know, think about a water hose, right,

166
00:08:45,559 --> 00:08:48,319
Speaker 1: you got a garden hose on the side of your house. Yep,

167
00:08:48,480 --> 00:08:51,800
Speaker 1: all right, is the water off right now? Yeah, on

168
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:54,440
Speaker 1: the back side of that water faucet, is there water

169
00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:59,400
Speaker 1: pressure should be there? Yeah, yeah, of course there is, right,

170
00:08:59,440 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: whatever city water pressure is all right, A city water

171
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,199
Speaker 1: pressure's fifty pounds. There's fifty pounds of water pressure there

172
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:09,440
Speaker 1: in a car at a battery if there's nothing on.

173
00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:14,640
Speaker 1: Does the battery have voltage? Sure? Does? I didn't check it.

174
00:09:14,679 --> 00:09:16,840
Speaker 1: You know, well, the battery has voltage, right, if the

175
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,080
Speaker 1: battery is good. Let's talk about a good car. If

176
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:22,000
Speaker 1: a battery is good, it's got voltage. Just like you

177
00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,560
Speaker 1: always have water pressure, you always have battery voltage. If

178
00:09:24,559 --> 00:09:26,400
Speaker 1: you took your meter and put it across a battery,

179
00:09:26,600 --> 00:09:32,920
Speaker 1: it should read twelve and a half vaults correct, Yeah, okay, yeah,

180
00:09:33,080 --> 00:09:36,120
Speaker 1: I actually did check that. Yeah, well it's twelve right,

181
00:09:36,240 --> 00:09:38,880
Speaker 1: So it ran all right, right, So it shows the

182
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:43,320
Speaker 1: charging systems working. My point is water pressure and battery voltage.

183
00:09:43,360 --> 00:09:46,560
Speaker 1: Water pressure and voltage are the same thing in the

184
00:09:46,640 --> 00:09:49,480
Speaker 1: sense in what we're trying to explain here. Pressure is

185
00:09:49,520 --> 00:09:54,120
Speaker 1: always there, Voltage is always there. All right the time.

186
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: If you open that water faucet and you allow a

187
00:09:57,840 --> 00:10:03,240
Speaker 1: gallon of water out an hour, okay, that's flow. Right,

188
00:10:03,320 --> 00:10:06,000
Speaker 1: You're depleting the amount of water that are in the

189
00:10:06,040 --> 00:10:10,520
Speaker 1: pipes in the system. Correct. If you turn the headlights on.

190
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:15,240
Speaker 1: Out of the battery, you don't flow voltage, You flow current.

191
00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:18,719
Speaker 1: You flow volume. You flow volume of electricity, just like

192
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:24,000
Speaker 1: that water hose flows volume of water. You're with me, Yes,

193
00:10:24,320 --> 00:10:29,160
Speaker 1: So you want to measure ambridge, draw ambridge and current, right,

194
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: but you want to measure it at a very small level.

195
00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:35,680
Speaker 1: You want to see if your meter will read in milliamps,

196
00:10:35,720 --> 00:10:39,200
Speaker 1: and you want to do a setup. Okay, You're going

197
00:10:39,240 --> 00:10:42,040
Speaker 1: to disconnect the negative battery cable, put your meter in

198
00:10:42,160 --> 00:10:45,720
Speaker 1: milliamp mode. All right, Take the keys, Take the keys

199
00:10:45,760 --> 00:10:48,600
Speaker 1: out of the car, close the doors. I usually leave

200
00:10:48,600 --> 00:10:53,080
Speaker 1: a window, open, driver's window open, close the doors. Put

201
00:10:53,120 --> 00:10:55,720
Speaker 1: the meter. You're gonna put the meter in series with

202
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,160
Speaker 1: the negative battery cable. All right. So one cable is

203
00:10:59,160 --> 00:11:01,040
Speaker 1: going to go of your digital vultometer is going to

204
00:11:01,080 --> 00:11:03,400
Speaker 1: go to the negative battery post. The other one is

205
00:11:03,400 --> 00:11:06,600
Speaker 1: going to go to the negative battery cable. The meter

206
00:11:06,800 --> 00:11:10,600
Speaker 1: is now between the cable and the battery. You're with me.

207
00:11:11,960 --> 00:11:16,040
Speaker 1: So if for example, you turned on the parking lights,

208
00:11:16,040 --> 00:11:17,800
Speaker 1: and I would only turn on the parking lights and

209
00:11:17,880 --> 00:11:20,319
Speaker 1: nothing more, because you could blow the fuse in the meter,

210
00:11:20,400 --> 00:11:21,640
Speaker 1: and then you get to buy a fuse, which is

211
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:23,560
Speaker 1: always a thrill, all right, just to see if you

212
00:11:23,559 --> 00:11:25,199
Speaker 1: have a good connection. But I would wait because you're

213
00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,280
Speaker 1: gonna see a milliamp reading. You want to make sure

214
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:30,680
Speaker 1: you're connected to milliams and you're on the milliams scale.

215
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,280
Speaker 1: You're gonna see a milliamp reading and it's gonna start high.

216
00:11:33,280 --> 00:11:36,960
Speaker 1: It's probably gonna start fifteen hundred milliams, two thousand milliams,

217
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,680
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna see it come down. What you're

218
00:11:39,760 --> 00:11:43,600
Speaker 1: watching is you're watching the draw of all the computers

219
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,080
Speaker 1: and modules that are still awake as they bleed down

220
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,000
Speaker 1: the current as the water runs out of the hose. Right,

221
00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,360
Speaker 1: you're looking at the volume of electricity as it flows

222
00:11:55,800 --> 00:12:00,800
Speaker 1: through the meter out to the vehicle over time up

223
00:12:00,840 --> 00:12:03,320
Speaker 1: to forty five minutes, in some cases an hour and

224
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: a half. That meter, if the vehicle is okay, will

225
00:12:07,760 --> 00:12:12,720
Speaker 1: eventually drop to under fifty milliams. Fifty milliams is the

226
00:12:12,800 --> 00:12:19,439
Speaker 1: accepted industry tolerance on that particular vehicle as okay, and

227
00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:21,600
Speaker 1: you'll you'll you'll you'll see it. If you don't. If

228
00:12:21,840 --> 00:12:23,320
Speaker 1: you want to try it, try it on a car,

229
00:12:23,559 --> 00:12:25,800
Speaker 1: try it on a known good car, all right, a

230
00:12:25,800 --> 00:12:27,840
Speaker 1: car that doesn't have a draw. I always like to

231
00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:29,719
Speaker 1: do things on known good before I try it on

232
00:12:30,320 --> 00:12:35,200
Speaker 1: unsuspected bed. Okay, if that If that meter stays over

233
00:12:35,240 --> 00:12:38,640
Speaker 1: fifty milliams over an hour and a half, two hours,

234
00:12:38,800 --> 00:12:41,360
Speaker 1: you've got to draw somewhere. Now, A couple of things.

235
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,280
Speaker 1: If your digital voltometer is like most of them, it's

236
00:12:44,280 --> 00:12:46,800
Speaker 1: going to fall asleep after twenty minutes. Kind of makes

237
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,360
Speaker 1: doing the test difficult. Right. You have to put the

238
00:12:50,400 --> 00:12:55,880
Speaker 1: meter in min max hold min max hold mode, all right,

239
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,360
Speaker 1: and it will record. It'll record the highs and the lows,

240
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:02,199
Speaker 1: and it don't turn off. Last thing, and then I

241
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,839
Speaker 1: last thing, and then I gotta go close. Close the hood.

242
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,520
Speaker 1: Make sure you you know, run the wires out from

243
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:11,199
Speaker 1: under the hood. Position the cable so it doesn't touch anything.

244
00:13:11,600 --> 00:13:13,560
Speaker 1: Run the wires out under the hood, the meter out

245
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:15,600
Speaker 1: under the hood, close the hood. Because if the hood

246
00:13:15,640 --> 00:13:17,800
Speaker 1: has a button for an alarm system or a hood

247
00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: of jar switch. That'll be a continuous draw in the

248
00:13:20,640 --> 00:13:24,200
Speaker 1: meter will never go to under fifty milliams, all right,

249
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,720
Speaker 1: if it passes. If it passes the fifty milliam draw test,

250
00:13:28,040 --> 00:13:30,439
Speaker 1: then get the battery load tested after it's been charging.

251
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:32,320
Speaker 1: You're probably gonna find that you've got a bad battery.

252
00:13:32,360 --> 00:13:35,840
Speaker 1: But that's how you do a draw test. Okay, thank you,

253
00:13:35,920 --> 00:13:37,240
Speaker 1: all right, ket A, good luck to you. Let me

254
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,240
Speaker 1: know if you need more. I'll be here for you.

255
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:42,520
Speaker 1: You're welcome. Be well. I'm running any in the car doctor,

256
00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:59,600
Speaker 1: I'll be back right after this. Need advice on how

257
00:13:59,720 --> 00:14:02,400
Speaker 1: to main taking that classic gto Ron is the guy

258
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:05,800
Speaker 1: eight five five five six zero nine nine zero zero.

259
00:14:06,080 --> 00:14:08,520
Speaker 1: Here's Ron. Hey, let's go get a cheese steak in

260
00:14:08,520 --> 00:14:11,280
Speaker 1: Philadelphia and talk to our buddy Brian. Brian, welcome back

261
00:14:11,280 --> 00:14:14,280
Speaker 1: to the car doctor, Sir. What's going on today? Hey? Ron?

262
00:14:14,320 --> 00:14:17,040
Speaker 1: How you doing good? What's cooking? I got a question.

263
00:14:17,080 --> 00:14:19,880
Speaker 1: This is actually on behalf of my father. My father's

264
00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:23,920
Speaker 1: he drives Hunday Sonatas usually every couple of years gets

265
00:14:23,920 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: a new one and he puts like twenty five thousand

266
00:14:26,320 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: miles a year on it. So when he usually hits

267
00:14:28,160 --> 00:14:31,240
Speaker 1: around a hundred, he gets another one. Now. The last

268
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:34,600
Speaker 1: two I think they were A seventeen and a thirteen

269
00:14:35,480 --> 00:14:39,920
Speaker 1: used oil, which I heard is pretty common among Hunday sonatas.

270
00:14:41,440 --> 00:14:43,640
Speaker 1: My question is this, he actually now has an Olntra

271
00:14:44,400 --> 00:14:46,520
Speaker 1: A twenty twenty three at launch. He hasn't had the

272
00:14:46,520 --> 00:14:50,040
Speaker 1: problem when a car uses oil. If it's not burning

273
00:14:50,040 --> 00:14:53,280
Speaker 1: oil or leaking oil, where is it going. Well, it's

274
00:14:53,360 --> 00:14:55,960
Speaker 1: it's actually burning it. If it's not leaking it, it's

275
00:14:56,000 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 1: burning it. You just won't see it because when the

276
00:15:00,040 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: oil leaves the engine, what does it have to pass

277
00:15:02,680 --> 00:15:08,520
Speaker 1: through to get out the exhaust pipe? Catalytic converter. Yeah. Right,

278
00:15:09,080 --> 00:15:13,760
Speaker 1: so there's no blue smoke because the catalytic converter oxidizes

279
00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: it down. But what you what you are doing is

280
00:15:16,840 --> 00:15:21,680
Speaker 1: you are coding the catalytic converter with with with that

281
00:15:21,840 --> 00:15:24,480
Speaker 1: oily material. It gets baked on in the form of carbon,

282
00:15:25,200 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: and you're lowering the efficiency level of the cat. So

283
00:15:29,000 --> 00:15:31,800
Speaker 1: let's let's back up. Hundays have had a problem at

284
00:15:31,920 --> 00:15:36,840
Speaker 1: least the last ten years with oil consumption and oil

285
00:15:36,960 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: oil burning issues. All right, Um, you can start to

286
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,040
Speaker 1: read some of the bulletins. You can't swing a bullet.

287
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,880
Speaker 1: You can't swing a dead cat without hitting a bolting.

288
00:15:43,920 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: That talks about Unday's burning oil. Um. You know. Um.

289
00:15:48,240 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: One of the more recent ones I was reading recently

290
00:15:50,800 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 1: was twenty one EM double three h March of twenty

291
00:15:54,560 --> 00:15:57,240
Speaker 1: one that talks about the procedure where they want you

292
00:15:57,280 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 1: to pour a cleaning fluid down inside the cylinders and

293
00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: allow it to soak overnight and then remove the fluid,

294
00:16:03,720 --> 00:16:05,760
Speaker 1: start the car and blah blah blah. And it's a

295
00:16:05,800 --> 00:16:09,280
Speaker 1: whole long, you know, thirty pages long whatever it is

296
00:16:09,800 --> 00:16:15,560
Speaker 1: talking about carbon issues and sticking oil rings. Now, first

297
00:16:15,600 --> 00:16:17,520
Speaker 1: of all, a little commentary, because I'm allowed to have

298
00:16:17,600 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: an opinion. I'm still an American citizen as far as

299
00:16:19,680 --> 00:16:22,920
Speaker 1: I can tell. I can't understand why we let cars

300
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:25,720
Speaker 1: that do this run on the roads, because they're sort

301
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,320
Speaker 1: of defeating the purpose of what we're trying to clean

302
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: up the ear in the environment. It kind of boggles

303
00:16:29,920 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: my mind. So in a way, we've put everybody into

304
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,480
Speaker 1: the market of let's buy cheap cars that don't really

305
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:37,440
Speaker 1: work well, but we'll continue to drive them because there's

306
00:16:37,440 --> 00:16:40,400
Speaker 1: nothing else to drive. It's sort of a I don't understand.

307
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:43,280
Speaker 1: I really don't. I think, you know, if a car

308
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:45,760
Speaker 1: is being proved as an oil burner, it should be

309
00:16:45,800 --> 00:16:47,560
Speaker 1: pulled from the road. It should be corrected and then

310
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,480
Speaker 1: allowed to drive and operate. It would sort of make

311
00:16:49,520 --> 00:16:51,560
Speaker 1: the standards or the you know, the level of how

312
00:16:51,600 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: we have to pay for it easier, if you know

313
00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,760
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. But yeah, but also it passes the

314
00:16:55,960 --> 00:17:00,200
Speaker 1: Pennsylvania as enhanced. The mission always passes, right because as

315
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:03,080
Speaker 1: you the consumer in a shorter period of time, depending

316
00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: on how long you hang on to it, we'll have

317
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,160
Speaker 1: to buy a catalytic converter for it, because eventually that's

318
00:17:07,160 --> 00:17:09,840
Speaker 1: what you end up ruining. And that he never did.

319
00:17:10,080 --> 00:17:12,880
Speaker 1: He actually got rid of it before it happened, right well,

320
00:17:12,880 --> 00:17:14,919
Speaker 1: he gets when he hits two hundred thousand and you

321
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:16,760
Speaker 1: have to put on the new plugs and stuff. Usually

322
00:17:16,800 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 1: he either puts it on, you know, keeps it for

323
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,840
Speaker 1: another twenty five thousand. This time he wanted a launcher.

324
00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:25,920
Speaker 1: He's eighty seven. It's very active, he will he wanted

325
00:17:25,960 --> 00:17:27,879
Speaker 1: a little bit smaller. The launcher, I know is a

326
00:17:27,920 --> 00:17:32,879
Speaker 1: different engine. And so far this has been entirely different

327
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:37,280
Speaker 1: ball game, yep, or as not using oil hun days

328
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,560
Speaker 1: in the last ten years have just had engine problems,

329
00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:43,760
Speaker 1: it seems across the board, and they blame it on

330
00:17:43,840 --> 00:17:46,000
Speaker 1: everything from the way the engine was assembled back in

331
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:50,159
Speaker 1: the day, connecting rod bearings to piston ring issues, sticking

332
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: in the piston grooves or you know, it's just it's incredible.

333
00:17:54,880 --> 00:17:56,639
Speaker 1: I don't understand how the company's still a float to

334
00:17:56,720 --> 00:17:58,480
Speaker 1: day the truth, Brian, because I got to think trying

335
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,600
Speaker 1: to make all these engine repair has got to have

336
00:18:01,800 --> 00:18:05,680
Speaker 1: really put a strain on their resources. But that's the picture.

337
00:18:05,720 --> 00:18:08,320
Speaker 1: That's what's going on there with Hunday. I often think

338
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:09,879
Speaker 1: of the acronym and it makes me laugh. Hope you

339
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:13,639
Speaker 1: understand nothing's drivable and an expensive what hunday stands for.

340
00:18:13,840 --> 00:18:16,360
Speaker 1: So as always, brother, I appreciate the call, and good luck.

341
00:18:16,359 --> 00:18:17,960
Speaker 1: I hope your dad enjoys this car. I'm on an

342
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: any in the Car Doctor. I'll be back right after this.

343
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:46,000
Speaker 1: Don't go away, welcome back. You know we've been talking

344
00:18:46,040 --> 00:18:49,359
Speaker 1: about technology this weekend here on the Car Doctor and

345
00:18:49,359 --> 00:18:52,560
Speaker 1: how much technology have we thrown away? And good old research.

346
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:55,600
Speaker 1: Kathy comes up with an article nine old tools nobody

347
00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:59,040
Speaker 1: uses anymore, which you know, it kind of fits right in.

348
00:18:59,080 --> 00:19:01,360
Speaker 1: So we're gonna talk about this. Let's see how many

349
00:19:01,400 --> 00:19:03,239
Speaker 1: of these do you still have or use? I bet

350
00:19:03,320 --> 00:19:05,880
Speaker 1: you Tom's got a couple of these. A spark plug

351
00:19:05,920 --> 00:19:08,639
Speaker 1: gap tool. Yeah, I gotta admit I've got more than

352
00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,760
Speaker 1: a few spark plug gappers. I mean, you know, as

353
00:19:10,800 --> 00:19:14,480
Speaker 1: simple as they are, but you know it's it's you

354
00:19:14,520 --> 00:19:17,480
Speaker 1: don't use them because all the plugs today come pre gap. Tom,

355
00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,120
Speaker 1: you ever gap sparkle? I use it on my lawn more,

356
00:19:20,320 --> 00:19:22,359
Speaker 1: do you? Well? Okay, a lawnmower, I could see it,

357
00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: but you know you can because it's probably a copper

358
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,840
Speaker 1: tipped spark plug. You know, nothing fancy. A modern cars,

359
00:19:27,960 --> 00:19:30,440
Speaker 1: it's it's nothing fancy, and it never comes out of

360
00:19:30,480 --> 00:19:33,640
Speaker 1: the box gapped right right. But a modern car it's

361
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:37,040
Speaker 1: a ridium or platinum, and it's always got a fine

362
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,400
Speaker 1: drop of precious metal at one end or the other

363
00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:42,320
Speaker 1: or the electrode, the center electrode is a real fine point.

364
00:19:42,840 --> 00:19:46,879
Speaker 1: And you really can't gap them using conventional gapping tools.

365
00:19:46,880 --> 00:19:49,359
Speaker 1: You have to be ever so careful. So I you

366
00:19:49,400 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: know you keep it. I mean, it takes up no space,

367
00:19:51,400 --> 00:19:54,399
Speaker 1: but when was the last time you used it? A

368
00:19:54,520 --> 00:19:56,960
Speaker 1: dwell meter A dwell meter was the thing. It was

369
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:59,119
Speaker 1: the electronic measurement. When you didn't have the book of

370
00:19:59,200 --> 00:20:02,200
Speaker 1: matches to set the point gap on a distributor car,

371
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:04,760
Speaker 1: you use a dwell meter. A dwell meter was the

372
00:20:04,800 --> 00:20:07,879
Speaker 1: electronic measurement of that until you got into here I

373
00:20:07,960 --> 00:20:10,480
Speaker 1: am talking about it, until you got into nineteen eighty

374
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: one when General Motors came out with computer computer command

375
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:18,040
Speaker 1: control carburetors with mixture dwell solenoids, and you went to

376
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:20,679
Speaker 1: the green connector under the hood and you hooked your

377
00:20:20,760 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: dwell meter up there and you measured duty cycle or

378
00:20:23,720 --> 00:20:26,919
Speaker 1: mixture dwell and adjusted your top of your carburetor. So

379
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: how many of you have dwell meters? If you're driving

380
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,840
Speaker 1: an older car, you absolutely need it. I often think

381
00:20:31,880 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: of you know, we start to talk about and then

382
00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: it goes on and it talks about distributor wrenches. I

383
00:20:38,560 --> 00:20:43,119
Speaker 1: have a draw of distributor wrenches that you know, I

384
00:20:43,160 --> 00:20:45,560
Speaker 1: can't tell you I've got every distributor wrench snap on

385
00:20:45,600 --> 00:20:49,280
Speaker 1: tools ever sold, And I mean there's probably a thousand

386
00:20:49,320 --> 00:20:52,120
Speaker 1: dollars worth of distributor wrenches. You just don't use them anymore.

387
00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:54,480
Speaker 1: What do you do with them? You know? Do you

388
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:56,000
Speaker 1: throw them out? Do you cut them up? Do you?

389
00:20:56,359 --> 00:20:58,320
Speaker 1: I mean a couple of them have been cannibalized. We've

390
00:20:58,320 --> 00:21:00,800
Speaker 1: gotten into weird situations on certain cars we use. We

391
00:21:00,840 --> 00:21:04,080
Speaker 1: actually use distributor wrenches in the shop for that weird place.

392
00:21:04,119 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: We've got a ten millimeter and we need to come

393
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:07,400
Speaker 1: at it with a right angle that we can't get

394
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:09,280
Speaker 1: at it with a crow's foot or another wrench. And

395
00:21:10,040 --> 00:21:12,000
Speaker 1: we don't want to cut up the you know, the

396
00:21:12,200 --> 00:21:14,960
Speaker 1: the fifty dollars snap on wrench, or we don't have

397
00:21:15,000 --> 00:21:16,959
Speaker 1: time to run to the store and buy the cheapie.

398
00:21:17,040 --> 00:21:19,359
Speaker 1: So we'll take a distributor wrench and slice it and

399
00:21:19,400 --> 00:21:21,040
Speaker 1: cut it and weld it and make it into the

400
00:21:21,040 --> 00:21:22,760
Speaker 1: wrench the way we want. We'll make a wrench. And

401
00:21:23,200 --> 00:21:26,239
Speaker 1: that's what distributor wrenches are good for. But you know,

402
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,200
Speaker 1: unless you own the car that it fits, you're never

403
00:21:29,200 --> 00:21:31,880
Speaker 1: going to use them anymore. You know, you toss it,

404
00:21:31,920 --> 00:21:34,359
Speaker 1: you you just don't want to keep it. It doesn't matter.

405
00:21:35,720 --> 00:21:38,439
Speaker 1: OBD two diagnostics. We know what OBD two is, right.

406
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:43,399
Speaker 1: OBD two is the computer interface used on vehicles starting

407
00:21:43,400 --> 00:21:46,440
Speaker 1: in Mali year nineteen ninety six some early ninety five

408
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:50,080
Speaker 1: or late ninety five. But you know that was the interface,

409
00:21:50,119 --> 00:21:52,760
Speaker 1: that's where the connector under the dash was universal. It

410
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,440
Speaker 1: was in one location. Think about how long ago it

411
00:21:55,480 --> 00:21:58,879
Speaker 1: was nineteen ninety six, it's coming up on it's twenty

412
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:01,960
Speaker 1: seven years. It's coming up on thirty years that OBD

413
00:22:02,040 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 1: two has been out there. So do you still have

414
00:22:05,400 --> 00:22:09,600
Speaker 1: your scan tool for pre ob D two, your monitor

415
00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,960
Speaker 1: four thousand, your snap on brick or whatever and else

416
00:22:13,240 --> 00:22:15,440
Speaker 1: you were using at the time, are going to use

417
00:22:16,040 --> 00:22:18,040
Speaker 1: and do you keep that? Do you want that? Do

418
00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:23,399
Speaker 1: you need it? You know, technology were just throwing her

419
00:22:23,400 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: away pre OBD two diagnostic scan tools. I just don't

420
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: see it, you know. And then the list goes on.

421
00:22:31,440 --> 00:22:37,480
Speaker 1: It talks about large engine analyzers. Boy, I could I

422
00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,280
Speaker 1: could stop and talk about this for twenty minutes back

423
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:42,159
Speaker 1: in the day, and I'm talking to all my shop

424
00:22:42,160 --> 00:22:44,360
Speaker 1: owners out there, and all my technicians have been doing

425
00:22:44,400 --> 00:22:47,720
Speaker 1: this for a long time. You remember the Remember there

426
00:22:47,840 --> 00:22:50,679
Speaker 1: was the Sun engine analyzer that was the big thing.

427
00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:52,600
Speaker 1: If you walked into a repair shop in the late

428
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,639
Speaker 1: seventies or the eighties, there was that big engine analyzer

429
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,440
Speaker 1: that sat in the corner and had a scope in

430
00:22:58,480 --> 00:23:00,359
Speaker 1: the middle and had all the meters attached to it.

431
00:23:00,800 --> 00:23:04,080
Speaker 1: Sometimes it was on an overhead boom, an overhead crane

432
00:23:04,080 --> 00:23:07,520
Speaker 1: that that you know, floated around the shop. And at

433
00:23:07,560 --> 00:23:11,639
Speaker 1: the time, in nineteen seventy nine nineteen eighty dollars, that

434
00:23:11,760 --> 00:23:17,320
Speaker 1: engine analyzer was fifty grand, which was a boatload of money, right,

435
00:23:17,640 --> 00:23:21,679
Speaker 1: fifty grand in nineteen eighty that was a boatload of money.

436
00:23:22,359 --> 00:23:25,080
Speaker 1: And it seemed like a lot of shops had them,

437
00:23:26,080 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: and within ten years they were gone. They were junk.

438
00:23:30,720 --> 00:23:34,919
Speaker 1: You didn't need them anymore. Nineteen nineteen eighty seven, General

439
00:23:34,920 --> 00:23:39,200
Speaker 1: Motors came out with Distributorist Ignition. They started selling adapters

440
00:23:39,240 --> 00:23:42,720
Speaker 1: for these scopes and scanned and types of scanning devices,

441
00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:46,680
Speaker 1: and by the early nineties all these things were over.

442
00:23:46,880 --> 00:23:51,080
Speaker 1: It was it was just obsolete technology and we just

443
00:23:51,200 --> 00:23:54,159
Speaker 1: junked them all. The article talks about how many of

444
00:23:54,160 --> 00:23:55,800
Speaker 1: them are still out there, and they're not. I actually

445
00:23:55,840 --> 00:23:59,560
Speaker 1: did a search. You can buy a Sun engine analyzer

446
00:23:59,640 --> 00:24:02,159
Speaker 1: on e Bay right now, if I'm reading it right,

447
00:24:02,160 --> 00:24:05,199
Speaker 1: there's one up there listed thirty bucks. You just have

448
00:24:05,240 --> 00:24:07,480
Speaker 1: to go pick it up. It's it's in Tacoma, Washington,

449
00:24:08,040 --> 00:24:10,639
Speaker 1: I think it was, which would kind of need to

450
00:24:10,640 --> 00:24:12,800
Speaker 1: have kicking around the garage this as a conversation piece

451
00:24:12,840 --> 00:24:14,640
Speaker 1: to look at it and go wow, and the thing

452
00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,600
Speaker 1: still lights up, it still works. But you know it's

453
00:24:16,600 --> 00:24:18,600
Speaker 1: it's not even one hundred dollars. Now. I think I

454
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:20,280
Speaker 1: just wants to get rid of you, as wife's yelling

455
00:24:20,320 --> 00:24:27,360
Speaker 1: at him. But you know, it's technology has just absorbed

456
00:24:27,440 --> 00:24:31,600
Speaker 1: so much. Alan Sea remember alan Sea smart engine analyzers.

457
00:24:31,840 --> 00:24:35,080
Speaker 1: They were snacked in New Jersey. We had a missions

458
00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:38,399
Speaker 1: machine for state inspection, the black machine with the silver

459
00:24:38,480 --> 00:24:41,520
Speaker 1: trim and the and the fancy Allen blue red yellow

460
00:24:41,600 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: letters across the top. And then there was there was

461
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,240
Speaker 1: the Allen EPA Missions analyzer, and then there was the

462
00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:51,880
Speaker 1: Allen Sea Engine analyzer. And there were these two big

463
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: long vertical boxes about oh, thirty to thirty six inches long,

464
00:24:56,240 --> 00:24:59,640
Speaker 1: and oh they were easily fourteen to eighteen inches tall,

465
00:24:59,720 --> 00:25:04,520
Speaker 1: and big rectangular boxes. Again big money. Allen Sea's that

466
00:25:04,640 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: company's gone out of business. They existed for the better

467
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,479
Speaker 1: part of, oh, I don't know, twenty years, and then

468
00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:13,520
Speaker 1: it was over. It was like they had this short

469
00:25:13,560 --> 00:25:17,639
Speaker 1: shelf life. Distributor machines is another one in this article

470
00:25:17,680 --> 00:25:20,440
Speaker 1: about tools that nobody seems to have anymore. I used

471
00:25:20,480 --> 00:25:22,920
Speaker 1: to have a distributor machine. To tell you the truth,

472
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:25,640
Speaker 1: I wish I still had my distributor machine. I wish

473
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,280
Speaker 1: I could find another one, because every once in a

474
00:25:28,320 --> 00:25:30,000
Speaker 1: while you get an older car that you want to

475
00:25:30,000 --> 00:25:33,399
Speaker 1: do a curve on to look at timing and make

476
00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,119
Speaker 1: some modifications and trim the weights and other things, and

477
00:25:36,200 --> 00:25:40,240
Speaker 1: nobody has a distributor machine anymore. The automobile industry has

478
00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:43,560
Speaker 1: to be one of the most expensive in terms of

479
00:25:43,600 --> 00:25:45,960
Speaker 1: what you have to invest to repair the car for

480
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,560
Speaker 1: that moment. Now. In the past, in the eighties, you

481
00:25:49,600 --> 00:25:53,760
Speaker 1: could buy that fifty thousand dollars analyzer and reasonable updates

482
00:25:53,760 --> 00:25:57,160
Speaker 1: and care and caution. That tool was good for ten

483
00:25:57,240 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: to twelve years. That tool lasted a while, but that

484
00:25:59,480 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: was it at the into the twelve years, you were

485
00:26:01,640 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: done it because the technology just made it obsolete. Now

486
00:26:07,840 --> 00:26:10,600
Speaker 1: I think we're seeing tooling go obsolete in three years.

487
00:26:10,760 --> 00:26:13,159
Speaker 1: There's certain things that are so expensive to buy, and

488
00:26:13,200 --> 00:26:16,520
Speaker 1: then it's over a lot of shops right now, for example,

489
00:26:16,600 --> 00:26:20,720
Speaker 1: are hesitant to pull the trigger on buying ads. The

490
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:24,959
Speaker 1: automated driver assist systems, calibration kits, and a lot of

491
00:26:24,960 --> 00:26:27,360
Speaker 1: them just don't see the need for it right now.

492
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:30,160
Speaker 1: And then there's talk on the horizon that the car

493
00:26:30,320 --> 00:26:32,080
Speaker 1: is going to be self calibrating. A lot of the

494
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,320
Speaker 1: domestics already are self calibrating, but they're talking about making

495
00:26:35,359 --> 00:26:38,240
Speaker 1: self calibration across the board. You know, you'll approach a

496
00:26:38,280 --> 00:26:40,880
Speaker 1: stop sign, or you'll approach a toll booth, something that's

497
00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,800
Speaker 1: at a fixed calibration height, and the vehicles cameras will

498
00:26:43,800 --> 00:26:45,720
Speaker 1: adjust to that fixed object on the side of the

499
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:48,040
Speaker 1: road and that will be the calibration point. That's what

500
00:26:48,119 --> 00:26:50,000
Speaker 1: the car, if tomorrow, is going to have. So the

501
00:26:50,040 --> 00:26:52,480
Speaker 1: guys that are investing the thirty five thousand dollars today

502
00:26:52,800 --> 00:26:54,879
Speaker 1: have to get their money out of it in a

503
00:26:54,920 --> 00:26:57,760
Speaker 1: five or six year time span at best, maybe three

504
00:26:57,880 --> 00:27:01,280
Speaker 1: or four want to repair it is a tough business.

505
00:27:01,640 --> 00:27:03,520
Speaker 1: There's a lot of there's a lot of expense, there's

506
00:27:03,520 --> 00:27:06,520
Speaker 1: a lot of short term life on tooling, and you

507
00:27:06,560 --> 00:27:11,280
Speaker 1: find yourself going time to buy something else. So just, uh,

508
00:27:11,560 --> 00:27:13,560
Speaker 1: just how many of those tools do you have? I

509
00:27:13,600 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: have to go find my spark plug gappers. I think

510
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:18,240
Speaker 1: I've got I've got a Champion spark plug spark plug gapper,

511
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:22,240
Speaker 1: which is real old. So anyway, five six zero nine

512
00:27:22,320 --> 00:27:24,040
Speaker 1: nine zero zero, run any of the car Doctor. I'm

513
00:27:24,040 --> 00:27:37,240
Speaker 1: coming back right after this. Don't go away. Welcome back,

514
00:27:37,320 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: Running the Car Doctor. I think I want to talk

515
00:27:38,920 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: to Tom first. Tom, you've got a comment about spark

516
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: plug gappers. Yeah, I got one for you. Go ahead.

517
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:46,879
Speaker 1: I got to have a unique use for it in

518
00:27:46,440 --> 00:27:50,399
Speaker 1: an AIM broadcast transmitter. You use them to set the

519
00:27:50,440 --> 00:27:53,520
Speaker 1: spark gap for lightning protection in the final amplifier. Well,

520
00:27:53,560 --> 00:27:54,760
Speaker 1: there you go. At least we know they'll have a

521
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:58,520
Speaker 1: use for now in perpetuity. So Tooma's probably now everybody

522
00:27:58,520 --> 00:28:00,679
Speaker 1: can send their spark plug gappers. Tom. We'll give out

523
00:28:00,720 --> 00:28:02,520
Speaker 1: his address at the end of the show. In the meantime,

524
00:28:02,560 --> 00:28:05,520
Speaker 1: let's get over to Ted in Virginia. Ted oait Toyota camera.

525
00:28:05,600 --> 00:28:09,200
Speaker 1: What's going on here, kiddo? All right, thanks for taking

526
00:28:09,200 --> 00:28:11,359
Speaker 1: my call. I had a two thousand and eight two

527
00:28:11,400 --> 00:28:13,680
Speaker 1: D to camera. Actually, my daughter has it at college

528
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,520
Speaker 1: and about every six weeks she's kind of plotted out

529
00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: on her on her calendar. About every six weeks it

530
00:28:19,640 --> 00:28:23,600
Speaker 1: fails to start. It happened once when she was at home.

531
00:28:23,640 --> 00:28:27,000
Speaker 1: So I witnessed this and it seems to turn over,

532
00:28:27,200 --> 00:28:29,520
Speaker 1: but it doesn't doesn't start, and then she has to

533
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:32,640
Speaker 1: wait approximately ten minutes. She's realized if she waits any

534
00:28:32,840 --> 00:28:36,600
Speaker 1: sooner than that five, six, seven minutes, it won't start,

535
00:28:36,680 --> 00:28:39,800
Speaker 1: But if she waits a full ten minutes, it then starts. Okay,

536
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:44,680
Speaker 1: the ten minutes is the is the clue? Does she

537
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: see Does she see a theft light flashing on the

538
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: dashboard or any kind of a warning light flashing on

539
00:28:50,040 --> 00:28:53,719
Speaker 1: the dashboard when she goes to start it? Um, I

540
00:28:53,760 --> 00:28:56,000
Speaker 1: don't think so. I don't think I saw one either

541
00:28:56,040 --> 00:28:58,840
Speaker 1: when I witnessed it happened one time. Okay, I would

542
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:01,320
Speaker 1: be willing to bet that vehicle is going into some

543
00:29:01,400 --> 00:29:05,440
Speaker 1: sort of some sort of theft event. Something's timing out.

544
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:10,360
Speaker 1: Computer modules. Computer modules are very accurate, all right, I mean, listen,

545
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:12,520
Speaker 1: I could take you through the conversation of as it spark,

546
00:29:12,600 --> 00:29:15,920
Speaker 1: as it fuel, all the usual things, uh, you know.

547
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:18,240
Speaker 1: But if it's if it's exactly ten minutes, if it's

548
00:29:18,280 --> 00:29:21,480
Speaker 1: nine minutes and thirty seconds and it doesn't start and

549
00:29:21,520 --> 00:29:24,280
Speaker 1: she has to wait another ten minutes, something's on a timer,

550
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:29,400
Speaker 1: and that is generally an anti theft device. At that point,

551
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:32,720
Speaker 1: of course, this is a four cylinder. I believe this

552
00:29:32,800 --> 00:29:36,040
Speaker 1: four cylinder has a mass airflow sensor with a rubber

553
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:40,040
Speaker 1: intake duct. Just for giggles, I would, you know, do

554
00:29:40,080 --> 00:29:42,239
Speaker 1: my basics, my due diligence of tell me what's good,

555
00:29:42,240 --> 00:29:46,520
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what's bad. You know good clean battery terminals.

556
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:49,760
Speaker 1: Is the air intake duct intact, it's not cracked, it's

557
00:29:49,760 --> 00:29:51,680
Speaker 1: not flexing and allowing a burp of air at the

558
00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:54,120
Speaker 1: wrong moment. Because I have seen that where it won't

559
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:57,040
Speaker 1: set a fault code. It won't. It won't, you know,

560
00:29:57,200 --> 00:29:59,800
Speaker 1: give you any indication other than maybe a fuel trim skew.

561
00:30:00,400 --> 00:30:02,320
Speaker 1: But in every once in a while it goes into

562
00:30:02,360 --> 00:30:05,800
Speaker 1: a crank no start condition. But I'd be willing to

563
00:30:05,880 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: bet barring looking over the basics, because you always cover

564
00:30:08,760 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: the basics right anytime you do a diagnosis. I'd be

565
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:15,640
Speaker 1: into the dealer and they know the dealer couldn't find anything.

566
00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 1: It was working at that time, Yeah, they couldn't, But

567
00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:21,719
Speaker 1: that ten minutes, If that ten minutes is an accurate number,

568
00:30:22,680 --> 00:30:26,600
Speaker 1: I would I would verify that the vehicle has factory

569
00:30:27,520 --> 00:30:31,520
Speaker 1: anti anti theft on it, which it probably does, you know,

570
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,200
Speaker 1: looking the owner's manual get an explanation of what all

571
00:30:34,240 --> 00:30:37,280
Speaker 1: the dashboard icons mean and see if there's an anti

572
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,600
Speaker 1: theft light and if there is, understand how it's supposed

573
00:30:40,600 --> 00:30:43,960
Speaker 1: to work when it's normal, and then it likely changes

574
00:30:44,000 --> 00:30:47,000
Speaker 1: color when it goes into a theft moment because you know,

575
00:30:47,240 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: as a guess again, you know, we're kind of working

576
00:30:49,840 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: in the dark here until we see it happen. Is

577
00:30:52,440 --> 00:30:55,120
Speaker 1: this a case of, you know, when it doesn't start,

578
00:30:55,240 --> 00:30:57,880
Speaker 1: everybody's kind of focused on g it doesn't start? And

579
00:30:57,920 --> 00:31:00,760
Speaker 1: are we really paying attention to all the dashboard lights

580
00:31:00,800 --> 00:31:02,960
Speaker 1: that are coming on or off at the dashboard because

581
00:31:02,960 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: I'm assuming it's got normal dashlights. It just cranks like

582
00:31:05,640 --> 00:31:09,080
Speaker 1: it's out of fuel. Yes, right right, you know, I

583
00:31:09,080 --> 00:31:11,440
Speaker 1: mean listen, it could also be a you know, an

584
00:31:11,440 --> 00:31:15,640
Speaker 1: intermittent bad fuel pump and intermittent relay somewhere along the way.

585
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:18,160
Speaker 1: Toyo does have a great track record. I'm not saying

586
00:31:18,160 --> 00:31:21,440
Speaker 1: it's impossible, but you know, we've got to consider that too.

587
00:31:21,480 --> 00:31:23,680
Speaker 1: But the first thing that comes to mind is that

588
00:31:23,800 --> 00:31:26,080
Speaker 1: ten minutes. Why is it always ten minutes? What does

589
00:31:26,120 --> 00:31:28,520
Speaker 1: that ten minutes mean? Did you mention did you mention

590
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:32,120
Speaker 1: that to the dealer when you brought it in, Um,

591
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:35,400
Speaker 1: I think I did to the intake person. I don't

592
00:31:35,400 --> 00:31:38,720
Speaker 1: know if that information got to the mechanic, right, you know,

593
00:31:39,480 --> 00:31:42,440
Speaker 1: because that would trigger it in my mind that ten

594
00:31:42,480 --> 00:31:45,000
Speaker 1: minutes is a module time of that mean that it's

595
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:50,960
Speaker 1: falsely being activated. That could be sure, could be could

596
00:31:50,960 --> 00:31:53,320
Speaker 1: be depending upon the theft system, if the chips in

597
00:31:53,360 --> 00:31:56,720
Speaker 1: the key, or if there's a problem with the the

598
00:31:56,760 --> 00:31:59,560
Speaker 1: way the key is being read, it could be the

599
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: try a different key eliminates the problem. Which key is

600
00:32:02,880 --> 00:32:07,760
Speaker 1: she on? She's probably got more than one key, correct? Yes? Yeah,

601
00:32:07,920 --> 00:32:10,239
Speaker 1: and I think being a two thousand and eight and

602
00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:13,040
Speaker 1: it doesn't have it's just a straight key. There's no

603
00:32:13,080 --> 00:32:16,200
Speaker 1: electronics in the queue and right, so then that means

604
00:32:16,200 --> 00:32:18,280
Speaker 1: the immobilizer has to be in the lock cylinder if

605
00:32:18,280 --> 00:32:20,880
Speaker 1: it's so equipped. Again just a theory. Is this an

606
00:32:20,880 --> 00:32:25,280
Speaker 1: anti event? Uh yeah, that's that makes sense. Yeah, you know.

607
00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:27,480
Speaker 1: But but when I see when I hear ten minutes,

608
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,440
Speaker 1: ten minutes, that's boy, that's that's you know, that's that's

609
00:32:31,560 --> 00:32:35,120
Speaker 1: usually we've got a module that's timing out and changing state.

610
00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:38,680
Speaker 1: So that's great. Yeah, well that's something to go on.

611
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:41,320
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'll look at that. Yeah, that sounds great. Okay,

612
00:32:41,320 --> 00:32:44,959
Speaker 1: that makes sense from everything else that we've heard. Yeah, okay, Well,

613
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:46,720
Speaker 1: I appreciate your help. You're very welcome. You let me

614
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:50,040
Speaker 1: know what happens. Take good care, bye, Ted, You're very welcome, sir. Yes,

615
00:32:50,080 --> 00:32:52,320
Speaker 1: sir eighty five by six zero nine nine zero zero.

616
00:32:52,360 --> 00:33:05,800
Speaker 1: I'll be back right after this. Don't go away. Well, well, well,

617
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:09,480
Speaker 1: I guess it's my turn again. Email just in from Bill. Hey, Ron,

618
00:33:09,520 --> 00:33:11,719
Speaker 1: thanks for sharing your wealth of expertise. I took delivery

619
00:33:11,720 --> 00:33:14,160
Speaker 1: of a twenty twenty two Chevy Spark LS in December,

620
00:33:14,160 --> 00:33:16,240
Speaker 1: which I waited almost six months for. You know, cars

621
00:33:16,240 --> 00:33:18,640
Speaker 1: are starting to come back though, they're starting to get inventory,

622
00:33:18,680 --> 00:33:21,560
Speaker 1: so which is kind of hopeful anyway, of course, and

623
00:33:21,600 --> 00:33:23,000
Speaker 1: you see all the other things we're running out of

624
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:24,640
Speaker 1: in this country, you wonder what the heck is going on.

625
00:33:24,840 --> 00:33:27,280
Speaker 1: I wanted to protect the new headlight lenses from UV damage.

626
00:33:27,280 --> 00:33:29,240
Speaker 1: I searched and search for an effective product, but nothing

627
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:32,480
Speaker 1: emerged the definitive in your experience, there's anything you recommended

628
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,160
Speaker 1: or I just wait until they fog up, then buff

629
00:33:34,200 --> 00:33:36,520
Speaker 1: and cote them. I'll tell you what, Bill, you know,

630
00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,320
Speaker 1: I don't know how it stands up against UV rays.

631
00:33:38,480 --> 00:33:40,600
Speaker 1: I use regular car wax, well not regular car wax.

632
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,560
Speaker 1: I use mcguires. You know, mcguires makes a bunch of

633
00:33:43,560 --> 00:33:46,720
Speaker 1: different waxes. I really like McGuire's number twenty six, but

634
00:33:46,760 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: it's a nice polish and finish on everything. You can

635
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,560
Speaker 1: find it online at mcguires dot com. You know, I

636
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:53,840
Speaker 1: also like any of their cleaner waxes for cleaning up

637
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:56,800
Speaker 1: the headlight first. But I waxed my headlights and I've

638
00:33:56,800 --> 00:33:59,200
Speaker 1: been doing it forever, and I've got to tell you

639
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: the twenty two thousand and four suburban I finally had

640
00:34:02,560 --> 00:34:05,000
Speaker 1: to and not that I had to, but I finally

641
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:08,040
Speaker 1: put new headlamps in it from GM two years ago.

642
00:34:09,040 --> 00:34:12,280
Speaker 1: And the old ones were what at the time, seventeen

643
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:15,000
Speaker 1: years old, and I did it just because they were

644
00:34:15,000 --> 00:34:16,919
Speaker 1: still available and I could buy them, and I bought

645
00:34:16,920 --> 00:34:19,320
Speaker 1: real ones from GM, and you know, I figured another

646
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,520
Speaker 1: seventeen years, I'll worry about it then. But you know,

647
00:34:21,560 --> 00:34:23,640
Speaker 1: I waxed those headlights every day from the day they

648
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:26,600
Speaker 1: were from the day that vehicle was new, and it

649
00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:29,640
Speaker 1: worked really well. But McGuire's wax, any good heavy quality

650
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,799
Speaker 1: wax that stays on there seems to me, seems to work.

651
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:36,040
Speaker 1: Aside from that, Bill continues, I'm pretty crazy about this car.

652
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:39,799
Speaker 1: Five speed, manual trans manual windows, manual mirrors, manual locks.

653
00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:43,160
Speaker 1: It's like nineteen seventy five again. It handles great corners

654
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:44,799
Speaker 1: flat and you can drive it like a rally car

655
00:34:44,800 --> 00:34:46,560
Speaker 1: if you want, or keep the revs load of conserve

656
00:34:46,560 --> 00:34:49,160
Speaker 1: gas for fifteen grand? What more could you ask for? Anyway?

657
00:34:49,239 --> 00:34:50,759
Speaker 1: Keep with a great work? Yeah, what could you ask for?

658
00:34:50,920 --> 00:34:55,319
Speaker 1: You know, a simple car? Imagine that? And you know

659
00:34:55,360 --> 00:34:57,279
Speaker 1: you get your use out of it. Fifteen grand? If

660
00:34:57,280 --> 00:34:59,160
Speaker 1: you get five years out of it, Bill, that's three

661
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:02,040
Speaker 1: thousand dollars. You do a bunch of oil changes down

662
00:35:02,120 --> 00:35:04,320
Speaker 1: the road. Uh, you know, how much more could you

663
00:35:04,360 --> 00:35:07,480
Speaker 1: ask for? How much simpler could you make it? And uh,

664
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: you know it just uh it just kind of really

665
00:35:09,840 --> 00:35:13,680
Speaker 1: makes you really realize that, uh, you know, things are

666
00:35:13,719 --> 00:35:16,239
Speaker 1: what they are and working like they should. So, um,

667
00:35:17,000 --> 00:35:19,920
Speaker 1: you know, just uh just really good stuff. And uh,

668
00:35:20,080 --> 00:35:22,680
Speaker 1: in any event, it looks like we're coming to the end.

669
00:35:22,680 --> 00:35:24,680
Speaker 1: Aren't we coming to the end? Tom? I can't tell,

670
00:35:24,800 --> 00:35:27,560
Speaker 1: can you? I? Uh, I can see by the clock

671
00:35:27,600 --> 00:35:30,400
Speaker 1: that we're coming to the end. And Uh we've lost,

672
00:35:30,520 --> 00:35:31,560
Speaker 1: uh as we are
