1
00:00:00,080 --> 00:00:04,400
Speaker 1: Your check engine light is on. Mm hmm. Typically that's

2
00:00:04,400 --> 00:00:06,920
Speaker 1: an indicator to you know, check your engine.

3
00:00:07,840 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 2: It's fine, it's been on for like a month. Ron

4
00:00:10,600 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 2: An aian man. It popped the check engine light on.

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:14,520
Speaker 2: It'd been in about three weeks ago for an oil change.

6
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:16,600
Speaker 2: But hey, check engine lights are like babies. They come

7
00:00:16,600 --> 00:00:19,200
Speaker 2: when they want, you know, anytime, and when at least

8
00:00:19,200 --> 00:00:20,919
Speaker 2: expect it. That's when the baby shows up. And so

9
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:29,200
Speaker 2: does a check engine light. It takes it like a

10
00:00:29,360 --> 00:00:32,519
Speaker 2: car doctor. Somebody that's not e eighty five rated, they

11
00:00:32,520 --> 00:00:34,960
Speaker 2: really shouldn't be running it because the way the engine

12
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,640
Speaker 2: is set up from a software perspective, all right, it

13
00:00:38,360 --> 00:00:39,200
Speaker 2: just won't work.

14
00:00:39,440 --> 00:00:42,360

00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,160
Speaker 2: Number two. It drives Tom crazy. So anything I can

29
00:01:21,160 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 2: do to drive Tom crazy and make him pull out

30
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:25,920
Speaker 2: what's left of his hair that he has left working

31
00:01:25,959 --> 00:01:28,960
Speaker 2: with me for fifteen years is kind of depleted the gentleman.

32
00:01:29,240 --> 00:01:32,200
Speaker 2: But that's okay. So we love Tom. Tom always does

33
00:01:32,200 --> 00:01:34,560
Speaker 2: a great job up there. Someone once asked me that

34
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:36,560
Speaker 2: they would say, what's it like working with Tom? I said,

35
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:39,759
Speaker 2: And no kidding around, okay, I said, you know, it's

36
00:01:39,760 --> 00:01:41,720
Speaker 2: such a pleasure to work with somebody you have complete

37
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,840
Speaker 2: confidence in that in the middle of a hail storm

38
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:47,080
Speaker 2: in the Sahara Desert, in a high wind, he can

39
00:01:47,120 --> 00:01:48,440
Speaker 2: get you on the air with a juice can and

40
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 2: a string and he would make it work. You know,

41
00:01:51,440 --> 00:01:53,520
Speaker 2: it's just mean I have to write you a check again. Yeah,

42
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,040
Speaker 2: you have to write me a check again. You know,

43
00:01:55,120 --> 00:01:56,760
Speaker 2: you know, you know when I you know when I

44
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:58,600
Speaker 2: think of you, Tom. You know that movie, what's that

45
00:01:58,680 --> 00:02:02,320
Speaker 2: movie with Kelsey Grammer down Periscope? There's a movie down

46
00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,560
Speaker 2: Periscope with Kelsey Grammar. The story about he takes a

47
00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:07,040
Speaker 2: diesel submarine, he puts it up against the nuclear navy

48
00:02:07,040 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 2: and they try to sneak into different places and blow

49
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:11,760
Speaker 2: up ships. And it's a comedy, right it's. And there's

50
00:02:11,800 --> 00:02:14,600
Speaker 2: a guy on there, the tech guy. They call him

51
00:02:14,720 --> 00:02:16,919
Speaker 2: radio or radar, whatever the heck he is, and he's

52
00:02:16,919 --> 00:02:19,320
Speaker 2: always holding wires together with two fingers to make the

53
00:02:19,320 --> 00:02:22,200
Speaker 2: submarine work. That's Tom, right. Tom's the guy that would

54
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,640
Speaker 2: just he wht both his fingers and hold both wires

55
00:02:24,680 --> 00:02:26,320
Speaker 2: and get a little sizzle and spark. But he'd get

56
00:02:26,320 --> 00:02:28,360
Speaker 2: you on the air because that's what Tom Raid does.

57
00:02:28,919 --> 00:02:30,960
Speaker 2: So I want to talk to you about the the

58
00:02:31,040 --> 00:02:33,240
Speaker 2: unexpected again real quick. I want to just touch on this.

59
00:02:33,280 --> 00:02:35,120
Speaker 2: We had a we had a Honda, you know, just

60
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,040
Speaker 2: when you least expect it. A Honda was towed in

61
00:02:38,040 --> 00:02:40,000
Speaker 2: this week. Because this is how what a repair goes bad,

62
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,440
Speaker 2: and this is how this is how repair shops get

63
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 2: in trouble and they're not even looking for it. It just

64
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:46,040
Speaker 2: kind of sneaks up on you, like cheap underwear, when

65
00:02:46,040 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 2: you least expect it. And it was a simple thing.

66
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:53,400
Speaker 2: This O nine CRV needed a starter. Customers shut it off.

67
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,840
Speaker 2: They went out to start it. They got click, you

68
00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:57,959
Speaker 2: know you need to start it. We're done towed in.

69
00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,440
Speaker 2: It's on my rack and there's two balls holding the

70
00:03:00,480 --> 00:03:04,040
Speaker 2: starter in. One you can see. The other one is

71
00:03:04,400 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 2: by the braille method. You sort of reach up behind

72
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:09,000
Speaker 2: and yeah, I know it's there. And to make it

73
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,959
Speaker 2: even more difficult, Honda in their intelligence and just let me,

74
00:03:12,040 --> 00:03:13,919
Speaker 2: let me screw around with you a little bit. They

75
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,240
Speaker 2: make the front bolt a seventeen millimeter head, and they

76
00:03:16,320 --> 00:03:18,760
Speaker 2: make the bolt that you can't see behind the starter

77
00:03:19,080 --> 00:03:21,960
Speaker 2: a fourteen millimeter head. So you know, most you would

78
00:03:21,960 --> 00:03:24,800
Speaker 2: think they would dictate, well, if it's seventeen, here at seventeen,

79
00:03:24,840 --> 00:03:28,280
Speaker 2: but no, it's so you get the bottom bolt loose.

80
00:03:28,320 --> 00:03:30,120
Speaker 2: I always loosen the bottom bolt, and I have to

81
00:03:30,160 --> 00:03:32,400
Speaker 2: take out the knock sensor in the lower splash shield

82
00:03:32,400 --> 00:03:34,400
Speaker 2: and a couple of the odds and ends to get

83
00:03:34,440 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 2: to this. And then I get the fourteen on the

84
00:03:36,960 --> 00:03:41,120
Speaker 2: one bolt that's extended length, reach the off the base

85
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:43,240
Speaker 2: of the fly, off the base of the transmission housing,

86
00:03:43,720 --> 00:03:47,160
Speaker 2: and this bolt just doesn't want to come out. The

87
00:03:47,240 --> 00:03:53,640
Speaker 2: steel bolt has galled itself into the aluminum transmission and

88
00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 2: you can't get any lubricant on there you can try.

89
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,520
Speaker 2: Actually shot a little bit of peeb up there, which

90
00:03:58,960 --> 00:04:02,640
Speaker 2: looking back, probably saved me because once I got the

91
00:04:02,680 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 2: bolt to try and turn, you know, I was able to.

92
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:12,120
Speaker 2: I took a soda straw and kind of bent it

93
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:15,000
Speaker 2: in a U shape and shot some PB up because

94
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:16,320
Speaker 2: you know, I wanted to get it away so that

95
00:04:16,320 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 2: it would get down on the threads of the bolt

96
00:04:17,880 --> 00:04:20,800
Speaker 2: and just sort of prevent the metal from tearing. And

97
00:04:20,839 --> 00:04:23,760
Speaker 2: I was able to walk it out. I would say

98
00:04:24,240 --> 00:04:27,280
Speaker 2: I probably saved ninety percent of the threads, and I've

99
00:04:27,279 --> 00:04:28,680
Speaker 2: got to say it's I got to chalk it up

100
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,359
Speaker 2: to using PB blaster because it lubricated the threads and

101
00:04:31,440 --> 00:04:34,359
Speaker 2: saved me off, you know, from gulling them up completely.

102
00:04:35,640 --> 00:04:39,880
Speaker 2: I then had to take a chaser, not a die,

103
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:42,800
Speaker 2: not a tap, I'm sorry, not a tap, but a

104
00:04:42,839 --> 00:04:46,080
Speaker 2: thread chaser and reform the aluminum. And it adds time

105
00:04:46,120 --> 00:04:49,880
Speaker 2: to the job. And I guess the conversation here is

106
00:04:49,920 --> 00:04:51,480
Speaker 2: really about, you know, how much do you think of

107
00:04:51,520 --> 00:04:54,760
Speaker 2: starter's going to be? I think the conversation has to

108
00:04:54,760 --> 00:04:56,719
Speaker 2: come down to, well, it's going to be this provided

109
00:04:56,800 --> 00:04:58,839
Speaker 2: this doesn't happen, This doesn't happen. This doesn't happen, This

110
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:02,280
Speaker 2: doesn't happen, and the unexpected doesn't happen. And that's what

111
00:05:02,320 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 2: ought to repair, is right, It's it's dealing with the unexpected. So,

112
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:11,040
Speaker 2: you know, when you're dealing with a mechanic, you don't know.

113
00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:13,080
Speaker 2: You want to test them. You want to see how

114
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,479
Speaker 2: they're how well they're going to do? Hey, you know

115
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:17,599
Speaker 2: how much is that starter going to be? It's going

116
00:05:17,680 --> 00:05:22,640
Speaker 2: to be nine hundred dollars? Well, you know, what are

117
00:05:22,680 --> 00:05:25,320
Speaker 2: some of the things that can go wrong? Watch their face?

118
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:28,000
Speaker 2: What do they look like? They look at deer in

119
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:29,320
Speaker 2: the headlight and tells you if they ever did the

120
00:05:29,360 --> 00:05:31,960
Speaker 2: job before. But also are they prepared to answer those questions?

121
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:35,159
Speaker 2: Are they prepared for the challenge of gee? I don't know,

122
00:05:35,920 --> 00:05:39,120
Speaker 2: you know, because you always got to be thinking. I

123
00:05:39,160 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 2: always think about Paulie Walnuts from the Sopranos. Remember Paulie

124
00:05:42,200 --> 00:05:44,839
Speaker 2: Walnuts from the Sopranos, Right, he always stood there with

125
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,320
Speaker 2: his hands in front of him, and everybody, everybody after

126
00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:50,520
Speaker 2: a while kind of commentated, why did Paulie always stand

127
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,839
Speaker 2: with his hands in front of him? Because the truth is,

128
00:05:53,720 --> 00:05:56,120
Speaker 2: Tony Sirico, I believe that was the actor's name, had

129
00:05:56,160 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 2: been in prison, and he said, he said, you always

130
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:01,080
Speaker 2: walked around in prison with your hands in front of

131
00:06:01,080 --> 00:06:02,400
Speaker 2: you because you never knew when you were gonna have

132
00:06:02,400 --> 00:06:05,080
Speaker 2: to throw hands or defend yourself. And that's sort of

133
00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:06,960
Speaker 2: like being a mechanic today. You never know when you're

134
00:06:06,960 --> 00:06:08,719
Speaker 2: gonna have to throw hands and defend yourself because you

135
00:06:08,720 --> 00:06:10,840
Speaker 2: never know when something's gonna come up that's going to

136
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:12,839
Speaker 2: prevent the problem. And you never know when that starter

137
00:06:12,920 --> 00:06:15,440
Speaker 2: bolt is gonna goal. And even with the help of

138
00:06:15,480 --> 00:06:17,880
Speaker 2: a product like PB Blaster is just gonna tear up

139
00:06:17,880 --> 00:06:20,840
Speaker 2: some of the threads. And and you know you're gonna

140
00:06:20,839 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 2: have to deal with a surprise. So just you know,

141
00:06:24,720 --> 00:06:27,919
Speaker 2: expect the unexpected. That's the mantra today, and just be

142
00:06:28,000 --> 00:06:30,320
Speaker 2: prepared to deal with it. And if you can't deal

143
00:06:30,360 --> 00:06:32,520
Speaker 2: with it and don't fix the car, let somebody else

144
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: do it. Just my words are wisdom to get us

145
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,760
Speaker 2: started this hour. Hey, another T shirt hour. I think

146
00:06:37,760 --> 00:06:39,760
Speaker 2: I said that to you. Let's let's go give Nick

147
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,360
Speaker 2: a T shirt. Nick and Maine eighteen f one fifty.

148
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:45,000
Speaker 2: Hey Nick, Welcome to the car doctor, sir. How can

149
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:48,920
Speaker 2: I help? Hey, Ron, how are you all right, what's

150
00:06:48,920 --> 00:06:49,240
Speaker 2: going on.

151
00:06:49,960 --> 00:06:53,920
Speaker 4: I've been well been dealing with a what I thought

152
00:06:54,279 --> 00:06:59,159
Speaker 4: was a h fact situation. I was only getting heat

153
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,159
Speaker 4: out of the front vent right in my face. I

154
00:07:02,200 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 4: couldn't get the frost. I couldn't get it on my feet.

155
00:07:05,440 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 4: And took it to my local mechanic and he initially

156
00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,520
Speaker 4: diagnosed it as a blendor while I come to find

157
00:07:13,560 --> 00:07:16,640
Speaker 4: out there's two blend doors in this truck. There's one

158
00:07:16,680 --> 00:07:20,120
Speaker 4: behind the dash, there's one behind the center console. And

159
00:07:21,480 --> 00:07:25,520
Speaker 4: got it back and it worked for a day and

160
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 4: then then it was back to its same tricks. It

161
00:07:30,400 --> 00:07:34,800
Speaker 4: would start up in the morning, sometimes I would have defrost,

162
00:07:34,920 --> 00:07:39,400
Speaker 4: sometimes I would have feet and then it would always

163
00:07:39,440 --> 00:07:44,760
Speaker 4: go back to to just vent in my face. So

164
00:07:45,840 --> 00:07:48,160
Speaker 4: then there's been a couple of other problems. Now the

165
00:07:48,400 --> 00:07:54,520
Speaker 4: reverse camera's acting up. Now the there's been some trailer

166
00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:59,640
Speaker 4: connect disconnect. So he he hooked it up to his

167
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:05,440
Speaker 4: snawl app on Bluetooth scan tool and cleared all the

168
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:12,240
Speaker 4: codes and UH and that the backup camera is still

169
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:18,320
Speaker 4: acting up. I still don't have consistent heat and and

170
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:24,520
Speaker 4: it's leading towards a body module UH issue or or

171
00:08:24,640 --> 00:08:28,920
Speaker 4: body module failure. Okay, just wanted to get your thoughts

172
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:29,440
Speaker 4: on it.

173
00:08:29,560 --> 00:08:33,680
Speaker 2: Has he has he talked about the bulletin that's out.

174
00:08:33,559 --> 00:08:40,640
Speaker 4: There, No, he No, he's pretty old school, all right.

175
00:08:40,679 --> 00:08:44,679
Speaker 4: He's a he's a really good old school mechanic.

176
00:08:44,840 --> 00:08:46,600
Speaker 2: Yeah, but the problems we're trying to fix a modern

177
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,600
Speaker 2: day vehicle. So listen, I can see, I can. I

178
00:08:49,640 --> 00:08:53,800
Speaker 2: consider myself. I can listen. I consider myself an old

179
00:08:53,800 --> 00:08:57,120
Speaker 2: school mechanic too. But I you know what, no, no,

180
00:08:57,120 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 2: no harm intended. But I'm smart enough to know where

181
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 2: to look and read. You know, I don't know everything

182
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:04,600
Speaker 2: I know. I just know I have to read. Bulletin

183
00:09:04,679 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 2: number twenty one DASH twenty one ninety nine, dated June

184
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:10,559
Speaker 2: of twenty one talks about lack of heat or cooling

185
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 2: from vents, temperature, door or actuators, binding an operative, possible

186
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:17,680
Speaker 2: trouble codes ten eighty one dot seven, and so forth,

187
00:09:18,320 --> 00:09:20,440
Speaker 2: and they talk about a series of things. I believe

188
00:09:20,440 --> 00:09:23,600
Speaker 2: the bulletin's nine or ten pages long, and they talk

189
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:25,080
Speaker 2: about some of the things that you have to do.

190
00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:29,199
Speaker 2: It's a common failure, a common problem. You know, if

191
00:09:29,240 --> 00:09:31,440
Speaker 2: he does have to pull the dash to repair this,

192
00:09:31,600 --> 00:09:35,640
Speaker 2: which in likelihood he may, you know, you may want

193
00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:40,240
Speaker 2: to consider. Also, there's an evaporator tempt censor in the

194
00:09:40,520 --> 00:09:45,320
Speaker 2: air conditioning evaporator coil that I believe was updated even

195
00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:47,640
Speaker 2: for eighteen. They've had a bunch of problems with those

196
00:09:47,640 --> 00:09:50,760
Speaker 2: as well, So you know, when the DASH is out,

197
00:09:50,800 --> 00:09:52,360
Speaker 2: you might as well do all the updates. This is

198
00:09:52,400 --> 00:09:55,280
Speaker 2: not an uncommon problem, and just warn them this is

199
00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:57,760
Speaker 2: a two man gig pulling the dashboard on those trucks.

200
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:58,600
Speaker 2: It's a lot of work.

201
00:09:59,360 --> 00:10:04,000
Speaker 4: So but that can you start from the top and

202
00:10:04,120 --> 00:10:06,240
Speaker 4: just give me that twenty one dish?

203
00:10:06,400 --> 00:10:10,000
Speaker 2: Yeah, let me get my mind back. Twenty one DASH

204
00:10:10,040 --> 00:10:13,320
Speaker 2: twenty one ninety nine day to June of twenty one,

205
00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:18,280
Speaker 2: all right, and that that bulletin addresses lack of heat

206
00:10:18,559 --> 00:10:24,400
Speaker 2: or cooling possibly temperature doors, binding, actuators binding. They list

207
00:10:24,480 --> 00:10:27,839
Speaker 2: specific trouble codes ten eighty one's different variations of that,

208
00:10:28,440 --> 00:10:31,360
Speaker 2: and they talk in detail about the possibilities of what

209
00:10:31,440 --> 00:10:34,040
Speaker 2: this could be. And I think that's I think that's

210
00:10:34,040 --> 00:10:37,319
Speaker 2: what you've got here. Probably not a real high mileage truck.

211
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 2: How many miles are on the truck?

212
00:10:40,400 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 4: Oh no, it's high mile I've got ninety five.

213
00:10:43,040 --> 00:10:46,080
Speaker 2: No, that's not high mileage, brother, No, you know, three

214
00:10:46,200 --> 00:10:48,880
Speaker 2: hundred thousands, three hundred thousands high mileage. To me, that's

215
00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,600
Speaker 2: not high mileage. That's just gently used.

216
00:10:51,120 --> 00:10:54,760
Speaker 4: So all right, I tend to trade them in early.

217
00:10:54,800 --> 00:11:01,880
Speaker 4: But then I've also got the the reverse camera that's intermittent.

218
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:04,160
Speaker 4: I feel like it's all related.

219
00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:08,400
Speaker 2: Well, has he taken well, I don't want to pick

220
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:11,199
Speaker 2: on him, but has he taken anything apart on the

221
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,439
Speaker 2: dashboard other than looking at this?

222
00:11:16,679 --> 00:11:20,080
Speaker 4: Oh yeah, I mean he he installed new blendors and

223
00:11:21,240 --> 00:11:26,840
Speaker 4: or he called it something else. But yeah, he had

224
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:28,439
Speaker 4: to get behind the Senate console.

225
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,440
Speaker 2: That's what I would have thought. I mean, you know,

226
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:33,680
Speaker 2: I'm thinking about connections. I'm thinking about context. Listen. You

227
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:36,000
Speaker 2: could just be lucky enough to have a camera that's failing,

228
00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,280
Speaker 2: you know, and it's just it just happens to come

229
00:11:39,320 --> 00:11:40,040
Speaker 2: at the same time.

230
00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:40,920
Speaker 4: Issues.

231
00:11:41,080 --> 00:11:45,280
Speaker 2: Yeah, two issues is two separate issues. So but you know,

232
00:11:45,320 --> 00:11:47,720
Speaker 2: I would I would, I would read that bulletin at length,

233
00:11:47,800 --> 00:11:50,439
Speaker 2: and I would follow what it says, because that is

234
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:53,600
Speaker 2: that that cites a lot of the conditions you're probably

235
00:11:53,679 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 2: running up against. This is a common issue with these trucks,

236
00:11:56,840 --> 00:11:59,240
Speaker 2: and you know, no knock against him, But I wouldn't

237
00:11:59,240 --> 00:12:01,120
Speaker 2: be afraid to talk to you Ford dealer, because this

238
00:12:01,280 --> 00:12:03,719
Speaker 2: may be something that's going to be in their wheelhouse

239
00:12:03,760 --> 00:12:06,240
Speaker 2: more than his. Not to direct you away from him,

240
00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:08,200
Speaker 2: not to take business out of his hands.

241
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:12,480
Speaker 4: But no, no, no, I'm very happy with a Ford dealership.

242
00:12:12,520 --> 00:12:15,360
Speaker 4: But every time I take it in there, they want

243
00:12:15,400 --> 00:12:18,720
Speaker 4: to charge me two hundred dollars for a diagnosedic before

244
00:12:18,760 --> 00:12:20,200
Speaker 4: they actually get into anything.

245
00:12:20,280 --> 00:12:24,960
Speaker 2: But guess what, you know, it's let me ask you this.

246
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:26,960
Speaker 2: Would you go to a doctor and complain about a

247
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:32,760
Speaker 2: back ache and let him start operating on you right away? No, okay,

248
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:34,200
Speaker 2: same thing.

249
00:12:34,520 --> 00:12:37,440
Speaker 5: I've had separate issues. I've had separate issues with my

250
00:12:37,520 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 5: Ford dealerships. Well, I had a wheel bearing failing. I

251
00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:45,040
Speaker 5: called and said I need a wheel bearing, and I

252
00:12:45,120 --> 00:12:47,439
Speaker 5: brought it in and they didn't have the wheel bearing

253
00:12:47,480 --> 00:12:49,920
Speaker 5: in stock, so they wanted to bring it back two

254
00:12:49,920 --> 00:12:52,440
Speaker 5: weeks later when they got the wheel bearing in.

255
00:12:52,760 --> 00:12:55,520
Speaker 4: You know it's a trade off.

256
00:12:55,880 --> 00:12:58,840
Speaker 2: Well I get that, But by the same token, it

257
00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 2: happens that you know, you know, you know, Nick, that's

258
00:13:02,200 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 2: the world we live in today.

259
00:13:04,240 --> 00:13:07,760
Speaker 4: I run it cost them to what it cost them

260
00:13:07,800 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 4: to have a wheel bearing in stock.

261
00:13:09,320 --> 00:13:11,480
Speaker 2: For me, Then well maybe they maybe they don't know

262
00:13:11,520 --> 00:13:14,880
Speaker 2: they need it, or maybe it's on back order for them.

263
00:13:14,920 --> 00:13:15,719
Speaker 2: You know, it's not.

264
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:18,200
Speaker 4: It doesn't cost them anything to have one on the shelf.

265
00:13:18,320 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 2: Well, yeah, sure it does if that part's sitting there

266
00:13:20,520 --> 00:13:24,160
Speaker 2: and they don't sell it, right.

267
00:13:24,160 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 4: They sold it. I had to have it.

268
00:13:26,640 --> 00:13:30,400
Speaker 2: Yeah, But my point becomes, you know, my point becomes

269
00:13:30,440 --> 00:13:33,040
Speaker 2: that until they sell it, they can't put every part

270
00:13:33,080 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 2: on the shelf. I hear you. I'm just trying to

271
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:38,400
Speaker 2: point out an alternative. All right, I gotta run Nick,

272
00:13:38,800 --> 00:13:40,839
Speaker 2: and hopefully that does it for you. See what that

273
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,280
Speaker 2: bulletin does. And if you need more, you know where

274
00:13:42,280 --> 00:13:43,720
Speaker 2: to find me. I'm running any in the car. Doctor,

275
00:13:43,760 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 2: We're back right after this.

276
00:13:51,360 --> 00:14:01,800
Speaker 6: You need advice on how I'm maintaining that classic gto

277
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,800
Speaker 6: Ron is the guy eight five five five six zero

278
00:14:04,960 --> 00:14:07,000
Speaker 6: nine nine zero zero. Here's Ron.

279
00:14:07,559 --> 00:14:09,240
Speaker 2: Hey, let's get over and talk to Let's go to

280
00:14:09,320 --> 00:14:12,120
Speaker 2: James in Virginia. James in nineteen eighty nine, Miata and

281
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:13,840
Speaker 2: a misfire going on. What's going on here?

282
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:17,160
Speaker 7: Hello, thanks for taking my call.

283
00:14:17,360 --> 00:14:17,680
Speaker 2: Welcome.

284
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 7: So the miadas are really reliable and so I wasn't

285
00:14:22,520 --> 00:14:25,160
Speaker 7: expecting it to have any problems when I tried.

286
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:26,440
Speaker 4: To start it up, but.

287
00:14:27,960 --> 00:14:30,520
Speaker 7: So we did some trouble shooting. Me and my dad

288
00:14:30,600 --> 00:14:34,080
Speaker 7: took the spark plugs out and cleaned them off because

289
00:14:34,120 --> 00:14:37,000
Speaker 7: they had some crud on them, okay, and we grounded

290
00:14:37,040 --> 00:14:40,120
Speaker 7: them out on the frame of the engine. And when

291
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:43,360
Speaker 7: we tried to turn the engine over, as soon as

292
00:14:43,360 --> 00:14:46,160
Speaker 7: we took as soon as we stopped, all the spark

293
00:14:46,200 --> 00:14:49,240
Speaker 7: plugs fired at once, so that none of them would

294
00:14:49,240 --> 00:14:51,720
Speaker 7: fire while we were trying to turn the engine over,

295
00:14:51,840 --> 00:14:54,200
Speaker 7: But as soon as we stopped, they all fired at one.

296
00:14:54,520 --> 00:15:00,000
Speaker 2: Okay. So what's what's what's the problem with the vehicle, James?

297
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 2: It runs rough?

298
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 7: Uh No, it doesn't run rough. That's the only thing

299
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,600
Speaker 7: that keeping it from starting that we can see is

300
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:12,160
Speaker 7: that all the spark plugs fire after we turned it off.

301
00:15:12,480 --> 00:15:16,000
Speaker 2: So it doesn't fire, is what you're saying. The car

302
00:15:16,040 --> 00:15:18,840
Speaker 2: doesn't run. What's the problem with the Vidica? The car

303
00:15:18,880 --> 00:15:20,480
Speaker 2: doesn't The car doesn't run.

304
00:15:20,600 --> 00:15:25,800
Speaker 7: Okay, Yeah, the spark plug's fire, but the engine won't start.

305
00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 2: Okay. So you know it's it's it's one of three components.

306
00:15:30,840 --> 00:15:37,280
Speaker 2: It's mechanical, it's fuel, or it's it's ignition. Was it running?

307
00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:39,400
Speaker 2: Is this something you just purchased or was it running

308
00:15:39,400 --> 00:15:42,440
Speaker 2: one day and the next day it wasn't?

309
00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:47,040
Speaker 7: It was running four years ago when my grandfather parked it.

310
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:50,440
Speaker 7: He didn't have time to fix it, and he recently

311
00:15:50,480 --> 00:15:52,720
Speaker 7: passed away and left it to me, So I'm trying

312
00:15:52,800 --> 00:15:54,520
Speaker 7: to fix it.

313
00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:55,200
Speaker 4: In his memory.

314
00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:00,120
Speaker 2: Okay, So that's very nice. So it was running when

315
00:16:00,160 --> 00:16:05,200
Speaker 2: your grandfather parked it and it just sat for four years? Yeah,

316
00:16:05,280 --> 00:16:08,280
Speaker 2: all right, So let's do this all right?

317
00:16:09,120 --> 00:16:09,320
Speaker 7: You know?

318
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 2: And could you know was it left with a full

319
00:16:12,360 --> 00:16:13,080
Speaker 2: tank of fuel?

320
00:16:15,800 --> 00:16:16,640
Speaker 7: A half tank?

321
00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:19,080
Speaker 2: All right? So I want you to do two things

322
00:16:19,080 --> 00:16:20,880
Speaker 2: once you get down to your local DA Parts store.

323
00:16:21,960 --> 00:16:25,080
Speaker 2: I want you to buy annoid light and I want

324
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:26,920
Speaker 2: you to buy a spark tester. I don't want you

325
00:16:27,040 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 2: using the spark plugs. Okay, a spark test and we're

326
00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:33,840
Speaker 2: not gonna yeah, we're not gonna spend a lot of

327
00:16:33,840 --> 00:16:35,720
Speaker 2: money here. This is you know, this is fifty dollars

328
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:41,720
Speaker 2: worth of tools. If that all right? Yeah, say, annoyed

329
00:16:41,800 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 2: light is going to be if you this is this

330
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:48,960
Speaker 2: car is fuel injected, right? Yeah?

331
00:16:49,240 --> 00:16:52,120
Speaker 7: No, it was it before it was made, before a

332
00:16:52,160 --> 00:16:53,720
Speaker 7: fuel injection existed.

333
00:16:53,840 --> 00:16:57,480
Speaker 2: So this is carbureted no, I think this is injected.

334
00:16:57,520 --> 00:17:03,240
Speaker 2: I think this is injected, kiddo, I don't know. Take

335
00:17:03,280 --> 00:17:05,280
Speaker 2: a look. I bet you this car is injected. And

336
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:09,119
Speaker 2: if it is, anoid light will plug in in place

337
00:17:09,200 --> 00:17:12,200
Speaker 2: of the injector of the harness and it will blink

338
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:16,600
Speaker 2: while you're cranking it. And if it does, that shows

339
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:19,600
Speaker 2: that you've got injector pulse. If you've got injector pulse,

340
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,080
Speaker 2: that shows that the crank sensor is working. If you've

341
00:17:22,080 --> 00:17:25,280
Speaker 2: got injector pulse and a crank sensor working. The spark

342
00:17:25,359 --> 00:17:28,200
Speaker 2: tester instead of grounding sparkplugs to the frame and worrying

343
00:17:28,200 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 2: about connection and contact and it's not a correct way

344
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,679
Speaker 2: to check for spark for a lot of reasons that

345
00:17:33,720 --> 00:17:37,000
Speaker 2: I won't get into here. All right, A spark tester

346
00:17:37,359 --> 00:17:40,280
Speaker 2: will stress and duplicate the amount of load on the

347
00:17:40,280 --> 00:17:44,120
Speaker 2: ignition system as if the plug was in the cylinder. Okay,

348
00:17:45,600 --> 00:17:47,800
Speaker 2: so you'll understand it when you see it. A spark

349
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 2: tester is going to have a longer gap. Your spark

350
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:56,359
Speaker 2: plugs have a real tiny gap, correct, Okay. A spark

351
00:17:56,440 --> 00:18:00,480
Speaker 2: tester is going to have a gap that's probably four

352
00:18:00,520 --> 00:18:03,040
Speaker 2: times or eight times the size of what a normal

353
00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,439
Speaker 2: spark plug has. The idea is it places stress on

354
00:18:06,480 --> 00:18:08,600
Speaker 2: the ignition system as if it was a spark plug

355
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:12,960
Speaker 2: in a cylinder under compression. But check for spark, check

356
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:17,240
Speaker 2: for injector pulse, and if you have both, call me

357
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:18,800
Speaker 2: back and we can talk about it next week. I

358
00:18:18,840 --> 00:18:20,600
Speaker 2: want to help you with this in the memory of Grandpa.

359
00:18:21,040 --> 00:18:22,919
Speaker 2: I appreciate what you're doing. I'm not an dy in

360
00:18:22,920 --> 00:18:57,760
Speaker 2: the card doctor. I'll be back right after this. Hey,

361
00:18:57,840 --> 00:19:00,720
Speaker 2: let's get on over and talk to Pete Sylvania. Pete,

362
00:19:00,720 --> 00:19:02,360
Speaker 2: welcome to the car doctor. Sure what's going on?

363
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: Hey, Ron? My mom has a twenty fourteen Chrysler two

364
00:19:07,280 --> 00:19:10,399
Speaker 1: hundred to be six in it okay, And what had

365
00:19:10,440 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: happened was well mileage about seventy five thousand. She lives

366
00:19:16,080 --> 00:19:18,240
Speaker 1: quite far away from me, so I don't have access

367
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:22,560
Speaker 1: to the car, but someone had looked at it and

368
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:24,520
Speaker 1: the code was multiple misfires and.

369
00:19:24,560 --> 00:19:25,560
Speaker 2: All cylinders right.

370
00:19:26,280 --> 00:19:30,280
Speaker 1: So what had happened was he had changed wherever she

371
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:35,000
Speaker 1: took it to change coil packs, all those work plugs,

372
00:19:35,040 --> 00:19:37,000
Speaker 1: and I guess the gaskets could take me in, take

373
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:41,399
Speaker 1: me on the fold off post repair. Still had a

374
00:19:41,400 --> 00:19:46,719
Speaker 1: misfire missfires on cylinder three and it was left that

375
00:19:47,680 --> 00:19:52,960
Speaker 1: the camshaft is bad. Okay, so I just kind of

376
00:19:53,000 --> 00:19:55,520
Speaker 1: wanted to see what you thought about that. What's the

377
00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:58,040
Speaker 1: frequency you see? I know I rid online that these

378
00:19:58,080 --> 00:19:59,160
Speaker 1: camshafts do fail.

379
00:20:00,119 --> 00:20:03,320
Speaker 2: Yeah, they also have problems with the cylinder heads they have,

380
00:20:03,560 --> 00:20:05,800
Speaker 2: they have the heads, they have the heads dropping valve

381
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:11,600
Speaker 2: seats and some of these She's probably out of this,

382
00:20:12,440 --> 00:20:16,119
Speaker 2: but Chrysler actually extended cylinder head warranty on some of

383
00:20:16,119 --> 00:20:19,720
Speaker 2: these vehicles to one hundred and fifty thousand miles. So

384
00:20:20,359 --> 00:20:22,399
Speaker 2: it you know, it may be a conversation with the

385
00:20:22,440 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 2: local Chrysler dealer just to see, you know, how many mom.

386
00:20:25,720 --> 00:20:27,600
Speaker 2: I'm sure mom doesn't have a lot of miles on

387
00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:33,520
Speaker 2: the car SEV yeahs, you know, so it would probably

388
00:20:33,520 --> 00:20:36,400
Speaker 2: be a conversation to have. The question becomes if it's

389
00:20:36,480 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 2: camshaft or cylinder head? You know, do you fix that?

390
00:20:39,560 --> 00:20:42,720
Speaker 2: Do you swing an engine? Do you know? How old

391
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 2: is mom? How much more is she going to drive?

392
00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:47,880
Speaker 2: You get into all those conversations, which gets ugly, right,

393
00:20:48,280 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 2: you know, you know, but that's I would I I

394
00:20:53,320 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 2: haven't seen as many cams as I have seen cylinder

395
00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:59,720
Speaker 2: heads I've seen more cylinder head failures, you know that

396
00:20:59,720 --> 00:21:02,600
Speaker 2: that you know for whatever, you know, we all tend

397
00:21:02,600 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 2: to diagnose based on the arena that we see things in.

398
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,280
Speaker 2: But I mean, I would still look at CAM. I'd

399
00:21:06,320 --> 00:21:09,160
Speaker 2: look at all of it, you know, look at manifold vacuum.

400
00:21:09,520 --> 00:21:11,280
Speaker 2: You know. I would go through CAM crank timing, I

401
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 2: would scope something. I would, you know, But I'm still

402
00:21:14,920 --> 00:21:16,359
Speaker 2: you know, do I have a cylinder head issue? I

403
00:21:16,400 --> 00:21:18,440
Speaker 2: could also have carbon on the valves. He's also had

404
00:21:18,520 --> 00:21:21,240
Speaker 2: nasty carbon deposit issues on the valves. Although that you

405
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,280
Speaker 2: would think that if they had the intake manifold, if

406
00:21:23,320 --> 00:21:25,680
Speaker 2: they would have seen that, you know, you would think

407
00:21:25,680 --> 00:21:27,879
Speaker 2: that they had the smarts to look inside and just

408
00:21:27,920 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 2: look at the intake vowels and see what they say.

409
00:21:30,200 --> 00:21:34,119
Speaker 2: So you know, it's it's but you're you're in the

410
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,000
Speaker 2: right arena, you're in the right church. I just don't

411
00:21:36,000 --> 00:21:39,439
Speaker 2: know if you're in the peu yet, you know, you know,

412
00:21:39,760 --> 00:21:42,639
Speaker 2: but you know, by the same token, how do we

413
00:21:42,640 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 2: know it's not an injector issue? How do we know

414
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:47,239
Speaker 2: it's not fuel related? How do we know? You know?

415
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,600
Speaker 2: So there's there's there's a couple of things that's got

416
00:21:49,640 --> 00:21:51,080
Speaker 2: to be done here. First thing I would do is

417
00:21:51,119 --> 00:21:53,920
Speaker 2: I'd probably do a vacuum and take Menifold vacuum test.

418
00:21:54,200 --> 00:21:57,000
Speaker 2: If I've got a steady eighteen nineteen inches of vacuum.

419
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:00,440
Speaker 2: I don't see that as a camshaft or a mechanical problem,

420
00:22:00,560 --> 00:22:00,920
Speaker 2: all right.

421
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:02,280
Speaker 1: You know.

422
00:22:03,119 --> 00:22:05,320
Speaker 2: One of the things we do, I do on a

423
00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:08,960
Speaker 2: regular basis when I'm diagnosing something. You know, remember it

424
00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:10,959
Speaker 2: because and I'm not going to send anything to you

425
00:22:10,960 --> 00:22:12,359
Speaker 2: here that I don't normally say on any when I

426
00:22:12,359 --> 00:22:14,440
Speaker 2: talk to everybody else. It's it's tell me what's good,

427
00:22:14,440 --> 00:22:17,200
Speaker 2: I'll tell you what's bad. One of the first, one

428
00:22:17,240 --> 00:22:20,320
Speaker 2: of the first tests I do on an engine like

429
00:22:20,400 --> 00:22:24,320
Speaker 2: this or a problem like this is something called volumetric efficiency.

430
00:22:25,520 --> 00:22:29,080
Speaker 2: And it's it's it's so great, all right, Take a

431
00:22:29,080 --> 00:22:33,240
Speaker 2: deep breath, Peter, you know, breathe in now, take a

432
00:22:33,280 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 2: deep breath. Take take take your take your index finger

433
00:22:36,320 --> 00:22:38,080
Speaker 2: and pinch one side of your nose shut and take

434
00:22:38,119 --> 00:22:41,640
Speaker 2: a deep breath. You can't breathe as well, can you, right,

435
00:22:41,880 --> 00:22:48,239
Speaker 2: So imagine an engine with a bad camshift. Is that

436
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:50,560
Speaker 2: going to affect how the engine breathes? You bet?

437
00:22:50,640 --> 00:22:52,280
Speaker 1: You absolutely right.

438
00:22:52,680 --> 00:22:54,520
Speaker 2: So if I do a volumetric If I do a

439
00:22:54,600 --> 00:22:57,639
Speaker 2: volumetric efficiency test and volumetric efficiency comes out in the

440
00:22:57,680 --> 00:23:01,440
Speaker 2: eighty nine percentile, I don't have a breathing problem, do I?

441
00:23:03,520 --> 00:23:06,640
Speaker 2: How do I have a bad camshaft? What'd that take

442
00:23:06,720 --> 00:23:08,600
Speaker 2: to do? That was? That was a twenty minute road

443
00:23:08,600 --> 00:23:12,360
Speaker 2: test around the block. All right? You know the other

444
00:23:12,480 --> 00:23:14,560
Speaker 2: the other thing we could do here is, depending upon

445
00:23:14,600 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 2: how the shop is equipped, is let's do a cranking

446
00:23:19,240 --> 00:23:24,320
Speaker 2: uh compression test. OBD two is really giving us a

447
00:23:24,720 --> 00:23:30,200
Speaker 2: plefor a big word of you know, diagnostic tests. Right. Yeah,

448
00:23:30,200 --> 00:23:32,320
Speaker 2: some of the scan tools today give us the ability

449
00:23:32,320 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 2: we plug in. We can go in and do a

450
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:37,960
Speaker 2: cranking compression test where the scan tool, by via software

451
00:23:38,000 --> 00:23:41,320
Speaker 2: and computer knows it knows where number one is and

452
00:23:41,359 --> 00:23:45,439
Speaker 2: it will disable this. It will disable the engine from running,

453
00:23:45,520 --> 00:23:48,600
Speaker 2: it'll shut off injectors. Ford does this. Ford does a

454
00:23:48,640 --> 00:23:52,200
Speaker 2: cranking compression test, very smarter Ford, and it will show you.

455
00:23:52,440 --> 00:23:55,320
Speaker 2: It won't show you a number, it will show you

456
00:23:55,520 --> 00:24:00,800
Speaker 2: relative compression between cylinders. So if my if mom has

457
00:24:00,840 --> 00:24:05,640
Speaker 2: wiped out the cam lob on number three, then we're

458
00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 2: going to see green green green, yellow, green, green, you know,

459
00:24:11,119 --> 00:24:15,080
Speaker 2: and you know because because number three in relative relation

460
00:24:15,200 --> 00:24:18,080
Speaker 2: to the other five cylinders is going to be lower

461
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 2: or higher, okay, depending upon what failed. So you know,

462
00:24:24,160 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 2: there's some other tests we can do. The other thing

463
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:28,000
Speaker 2: if we really want to think, is he guessing that

464
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:31,080
Speaker 2: it's a cam failure? Is that his you know? Did

465
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:32,000
Speaker 2: he come over.

466
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 4: Right?

467
00:24:33,960 --> 00:24:36,000
Speaker 2: You know, if there's no authoritative data, and you know,

468
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:38,320
Speaker 2: this is where I tell people and in person conversation

469
00:24:38,359 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 2: with the mechanic as he shifts his feet and kind

470
00:24:40,600 --> 00:24:41,919
Speaker 2: of looks at the ceiling because he doesn't know what

471
00:24:41,960 --> 00:24:46,000
Speaker 2: else to say. You know, this is this is where

472
00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 2: if you have any doubt, you want to go old school,

473
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:51,960
Speaker 2: take the two valve covers off. Do I have Do

474
00:24:52,040 --> 00:24:53,679
Speaker 2: I have the same amount of lift on three as

475
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,919
Speaker 2: I do want the other five cylinders? You know, there's

476
00:24:57,000 --> 00:24:58,639
Speaker 2: there's a bunch of ways we can go at this,

477
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 2: because I sure as I would hate to say, hey,

478
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:03,520
Speaker 2: it's got a bad cam and we put a cam

479
00:25:03,560 --> 00:25:05,679
Speaker 2: in it, and to do that, you're probably gonna pull

480
00:25:05,720 --> 00:25:08,800
Speaker 2: the motor and we find out we've got a bad

481
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 2: cylinder or a bad head, you know, valve a valve

482
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:16,600
Speaker 2: seat fell out of the head, you know, by the

483
00:25:16,640 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 2: same token ask him this question, what does spark plug

484
00:25:19,640 --> 00:25:25,560
Speaker 2: look like on number three? Right? But if you know,

485
00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 2: and here's and here's the argument. If if the spark

486
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:30,760
Speaker 2: plug on number three looks as good as the other

487
00:25:31,080 --> 00:25:33,280
Speaker 2: as the other five, it's clean and white or clean

488
00:25:33,400 --> 00:25:36,560
Speaker 2: in tan, then how do I have incomplete combustion on

489
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:43,520
Speaker 2: number three causing my misfire? So so in other words, yeah,

490
00:25:43,560 --> 00:25:45,800
Speaker 2: I tend to do that my wife. It annoys my wife.

491
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:47,400
Speaker 4: Uh.

492
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:52,200
Speaker 2: You know, if if, if, if all the plugs look

493
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:55,840
Speaker 2: the same, then I don't think I've got a compression issue.

494
00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:57,919
Speaker 2: I'm starting to think maybe I've got a fuel issue.

495
00:25:58,240 --> 00:25:59,760
Speaker 2: I'm just not putting any fuel in the hole of

496
00:25:59,760 --> 00:26:05,560
Speaker 2: the burn right right, right, So.

497
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:08,000
Speaker 1: Just just that was my concern. I don't want to

498
00:26:08,040 --> 00:26:11,959
Speaker 1: condemn this motor at the point without you know, right,

499
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:14,080
Speaker 1: a little further investigation into this.

500
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:17,720
Speaker 2: Yeah, and for that go with it. Yeah, And then

501
00:26:17,800 --> 00:26:19,359
Speaker 2: I mean the other thing, you know, let's how about

502
00:26:19,400 --> 00:26:21,200
Speaker 2: we drained some oil out of it, put the oil

503
00:26:21,200 --> 00:26:23,120
Speaker 2: in it. And this is now I'm really getting out there,

504
00:26:23,160 --> 00:26:25,399
Speaker 2: all right, I'm letting you know, Peter that I'm really

505
00:26:25,440 --> 00:26:27,480
Speaker 2: reaching here. But you know, if we think we've got

506
00:26:27,480 --> 00:26:29,560
Speaker 2: metal in the motor, because if the camshaft came apart,

507
00:26:29,560 --> 00:26:32,600
Speaker 2: we've got metal in the engine. Once we realize or say,

508
00:26:32,600 --> 00:26:34,280
Speaker 2: hey it's a cam, it's a cam. We can prove it,

509
00:26:34,320 --> 00:26:36,400
Speaker 2: and we prove it. I don't know. I would take

510
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:38,040
Speaker 2: some oil and put it in a dixie cup and

511
00:26:38,040 --> 00:26:40,879
Speaker 2: put the oil in a microwave. If there's metal in

512
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 2: the oil, it's sure gonna make a lot of sparks.

513
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: Oh boy, that's a good test. I like that.

514
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 2: Y's you know, listen, I was that kid in high

515
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 2: school chemistry. They kind of took me out of chemistry misclue,

516
00:26:54,119 --> 00:26:56,040
Speaker 2: kind of banned me from the chemistry lab after a

517
00:26:56,040 --> 00:26:58,640
Speaker 2: while because I didn't do well in the class because

518
00:26:58,640 --> 00:27:00,560
Speaker 2: I kept kind of wanting to do things on my own. Well,

519
00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 2: what if we mix these two things together? What happens?

520
00:27:02,920 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 2: I was that kid?

521
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: So but.

522
00:27:06,800 --> 00:27:10,840
Speaker 2: All right, sir, okay, all right, let us know what happened.

523
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 1: You for your help.

524
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,720
Speaker 2: You're very welcome, good luck, and say say hi to mom.

525
00:27:14,040 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 2: A five five, five, six zero nine nine zero zero

526
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,320
Speaker 2: running in of the car doctor coming back right after this.

527
00:27:34,119 --> 00:27:36,480
Speaker 2: Oh boy, I can't wait to get to this question.

528
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:41,000
Speaker 2: Dave and Louisiana eighty two Capri. Believe it or not,

529
00:27:41,040 --> 00:27:44,679
Speaker 2: my wife had one of these. If this is the

530
00:27:44,720 --> 00:27:46,919
Speaker 2: car I'm thinking of, this is a Wasn't this a

531
00:27:46,960 --> 00:27:47,920
Speaker 2: Mercury Dave.

532
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 8: Yes, it was a Mercury. That would have been the

533
00:27:51,880 --> 00:27:54,840
Speaker 8: upscale Mustang GT first year, the five point zero with

534
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:55,399
Speaker 8: the four speed.

535
00:27:55,480 --> 00:27:55,640
Speaker 4: Yep.

536
00:27:55,760 --> 00:27:58,159
Speaker 2: Yeah, my wife had one of these coming out of college.

537
00:27:58,200 --> 00:28:00,800
Speaker 2: That was that was her college, I think.

538
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:04,040
Speaker 8: I think a fifteen fifteen second story. When I was

539
00:28:04,080 --> 00:28:06,560
Speaker 8: sixteen seventeen riding my bike in a small town. I

540
00:28:06,560 --> 00:28:09,119
Speaker 8: grew up and I saw this guy had this car man.

541
00:28:09,160 --> 00:28:12,160
Speaker 8: I walked. I walked into yarady is washing man beautiful car.

542
00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,560
Speaker 8: Two years later, I'm rolling around in my first car

543
00:28:14,600 --> 00:28:17,200
Speaker 8: as a seventy six Chevy Vega black with gold trim.

544
00:28:17,640 --> 00:28:19,520
Speaker 8: I passed by. He's out there washing that car, the

545
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:22,000
Speaker 8: same property and it's just as just nice it was

546
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:23,880
Speaker 8: two years prior. I said, Hey, when you're gonna sell

547
00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:25,840
Speaker 8: me that car? He said, come here. I pulled in

548
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 8: the cars for sale and I've had it for over

549
00:28:28,760 --> 00:28:31,880
Speaker 8: thirty probably thirty five years. Yeah, it's just been parked

550
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:33,520
Speaker 8: for the most part and on the priority list. Now

551
00:28:33,560 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 8: all the field are going are gone, So I want

552
00:28:35,119 --> 00:28:35,840
Speaker 8: to bring it back to life.

553
00:28:35,920 --> 00:28:40,160
Speaker 2: You still you still have the Carsworth Vega? Do you

554
00:28:40,200 --> 00:28:42,560
Speaker 2: still have the Causworth Vega? The black Vega with the

555
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:44,200
Speaker 2: gold trim was a Causeworth, wasn't it.

556
00:28:45,120 --> 00:28:46,440
Speaker 4: Oh no, No, I got rid of that.

557
00:28:46,520 --> 00:28:48,000
Speaker 8: I had to get rid of that when I bought

558
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 8: the When I bought I went from a four cyling

559
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:52,760
Speaker 8: there automatic to a four speed with a three to

560
00:28:52,840 --> 00:28:56,120
Speaker 8: zero two and then gotcha, it was an interesting transition, gotcha.

561
00:28:56,360 --> 00:28:59,320
Speaker 2: The Vega's gone. Yeah, so that Vegas, that Vegas. Not

562
00:28:59,360 --> 00:29:01,120
Speaker 2: to change the story, but that Vega's worth a lot

563
00:29:01,120 --> 00:29:04,840
Speaker 2: of money Becauseworth Vegas. Yeah, I never a friend of mine.

564
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:09,200
Speaker 2: Dirty Yearnie had a Cosworth Vega, and man, I'm telling

565
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:12,560
Speaker 2: you we kick ourselves. We hear how they only limited

566
00:29:12,560 --> 00:29:15,040
Speaker 2: production stuff. But anyway, so I guess we want to

567
00:29:15,040 --> 00:29:16,160
Speaker 2: get this car running right.

568
00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:17,880
Speaker 1: Yeah?

569
00:29:17,960 --> 00:29:20,800
Speaker 8: Like I said, I literally pretty much parked it ten

570
00:29:20,880 --> 00:29:23,440
Speaker 8: years ago. Seven to ten years ago. It was running,

571
00:29:23,480 --> 00:29:27,080
Speaker 8: but because of aging tires and fluids, I didn't want

572
00:29:27,080 --> 00:29:30,600
Speaker 8: a chance tearing up the bar by pushing it, you know,

573
00:29:30,680 --> 00:29:32,680
Speaker 8: go on its limit. So now the times have changed.

574
00:29:32,680 --> 00:29:34,520
Speaker 8: I just want to know I've got two mechanics I'm

575
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:36,200
Speaker 8: looking at I want to test them and what they

576
00:29:36,200 --> 00:29:38,680
Speaker 8: can do, and you know, what's their planning and see

577
00:29:38,680 --> 00:29:40,400
Speaker 8: who's got the right plan. But I need to little

578
00:29:40,440 --> 00:29:40,840
Speaker 8: bites on.

579
00:29:41,160 --> 00:29:43,680
Speaker 2: Does the engine, does the engine build? Does the engine

580
00:29:43,720 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 2: manually turn over?

581
00:29:46,720 --> 00:29:48,720
Speaker 8: I would I wouldn't even attempt it. I would have

582
00:29:48,760 --> 00:29:50,360
Speaker 8: to go put a battery and try it. I'll get

583
00:29:50,360 --> 00:29:53,000
Speaker 8: a praised because the top to me, I'd bet a mechanic.

584
00:29:53,040 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 8: But the top of the engine we have been so

585
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:55,239
Speaker 8: dry for so long.

586
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:56,920
Speaker 2: No, no, no, no, no, I just mean, you know, can

587
00:29:56,960 --> 00:29:59,479
Speaker 2: we put a can we can we either get access

588
00:29:59,520 --> 00:30:01,840
Speaker 2: to the fly wheel and use a flywheel turning tool.

589
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:03,680
Speaker 2: What can we get access to or the crank bolt

590
00:30:03,880 --> 00:30:05,240
Speaker 2: if there's a bolt in the front of the crank

591
00:30:05,280 --> 00:30:07,320
Speaker 2: Can we manually turn this engine just to see if

592
00:30:07,320 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 2: it spins all right? And it does right? You know

593
00:30:11,920 --> 00:30:14,479
Speaker 2: that's okay, But I mean that's part of it. And

594
00:30:14,520 --> 00:30:17,040
Speaker 2: then you know, as you say, I would get it

595
00:30:17,080 --> 00:30:19,960
Speaker 2: to crank. If we can get this to crank manually

596
00:30:20,200 --> 00:30:23,400
Speaker 2: and build oil pressure, all right, or we're going to

597
00:30:23,440 --> 00:30:26,200
Speaker 2: take the valve covers off and get them wet and

598
00:30:26,680 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 2: soak everything. But you know we're still going to have

599
00:30:29,720 --> 00:30:34,080
Speaker 2: dry bearing surfaces. The idea is the damage to bearings

600
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:37,680
Speaker 2: and moving engine parts really happens when it's under pressure,

601
00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,080
Speaker 2: when it's underload, when the cylinder fires and there's compression

602
00:30:41,080 --> 00:30:43,080
Speaker 2: in the hole pushing down on the piston, pushing down

603
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:45,480
Speaker 2: on the rod and the bearing. So how quick will

604
00:30:45,520 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 2: this build oil pressure? Or do we pull the distributor

605
00:30:48,280 --> 00:30:51,800
Speaker 2: out and you know, work out a way to prime

606
00:30:51,840 --> 00:30:54,360
Speaker 2: the oil pump by spinning it with a drill, put

607
00:30:54,360 --> 00:30:56,880
Speaker 2: the distributor back in and then fire it and then

608
00:30:56,880 --> 00:30:59,400
Speaker 2: we'll have a quicker source of oil. You know, by

609
00:30:59,400 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 2: all means obviously, Yeah, let's let's change the oil filter

610
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,600
Speaker 2: and let's fill it so that it doesn't have to

611
00:31:04,720 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 2: crank and run and go through all that. You know,

612
00:31:07,560 --> 00:31:10,160
Speaker 2: what's the fuel system like? That fuel's got to be

613
00:31:10,280 --> 00:31:13,040
Speaker 2: like lacquer, now's if it's even there, if it if

614
00:31:13,080 --> 00:31:16,560
Speaker 2: it hasn't evaporated. So you know, that's an issue, you know,

615
00:31:16,960 --> 00:31:20,880
Speaker 2: it's it's it's common sense, man, it's just going through fluids.

616
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,840
Speaker 2: It's paying attention to it all. You know, you might

617
00:31:23,880 --> 00:31:26,840
Speaker 2: have to pull things, some things apart, and you know,

618
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,440
Speaker 2: what is the transmission fluid like if it's wet. It's

619
00:31:29,480 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 2: going to get changed. The tires on this were they

620
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,840
Speaker 2: not metric? Wasn't this the metric tire that was so

621
00:31:35,920 --> 00:31:36,480
Speaker 2: hard to get?

622
00:31:37,920 --> 00:31:39,840
Speaker 8: You bring up a good point. I've actually got that

623
00:31:39,920 --> 00:31:42,560
Speaker 8: three spoke metric wheels steal in my attic. I've never

624
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:46,240
Speaker 8: used them tires that costs to sixteen hundred dollars. I

625
00:31:46,280 --> 00:31:49,240
Speaker 8: would put the metrics back on because they would just

626
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:52,120
Speaker 8: sit there, serving no purpose sitting there. But I did

627
00:31:52,120 --> 00:31:54,640
Speaker 8: put brand new tires on it last year when I

628
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:56,880
Speaker 8: moved to another home, so I can put it on

629
00:31:56,880 --> 00:31:58,960
Speaker 8: a trailer and bring it to my home. So I

630
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:00,880
Speaker 8: can't actually put on the boat the tires. But once

631
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:02,960
Speaker 8: we get it back to black Magic and that bright

632
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:05,920
Speaker 8: calypso green metallic which was the centerfold of nineteen ninety

633
00:32:05,920 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 8: one Musting magazine, and I was twenty something at the time.

634
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,640
Speaker 8: Should have never done it. Once we get back to

635
00:32:10,640 --> 00:32:12,520
Speaker 8: black I think putting those gold wheels in the metric

636
00:32:12,520 --> 00:32:15,280
Speaker 8: tires is definitely one of them our final two.

637
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:18,440
Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, but I would just be more focused on good.

638
00:32:18,720 --> 00:32:20,560
Speaker 8: You remember that, yeah, yeah, I Metric.

639
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:23,520
Speaker 2: I remember I remember trying to buy them back well

640
00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:26,239
Speaker 2: thirty years ago. You couldn't buy them then, So but

641
00:32:26,720 --> 00:32:31,880
Speaker 2: at any event, yeah, good then listen Yeah TRX Michelin TRX.

642
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,160
Speaker 2: I think they were if I recall the model rate.

643
00:32:35,080 --> 00:32:38,480
Speaker 2: But anyway, Dave, I got to run. But let's do this.

644
00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:40,520
Speaker 2: Let's go through it. If it's wet, change it, make

645
00:32:40,560 --> 00:32:44,280
Speaker 2: sure the engine hand cranks, Let's consider lubricating parts where

646
00:32:44,320 --> 00:32:47,720
Speaker 2: we can, and then let's just work on do we

647
00:32:47,800 --> 00:32:50,840
Speaker 2: have spark, do we have injector pulse? Uh? That was

648
00:32:50,920 --> 00:32:53,960
Speaker 2: not carbureted. That was injected, wasn't it? Yes?

649
00:32:54,320 --> 00:32:56,920
Speaker 8: Oh that was still a fact factory two. Yeah, that

650
00:32:56,960 --> 00:32:57,120
Speaker 8: was a.

651
00:32:57,120 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 2: Factory two barrel. You're right, Yeah, that's a factory two barrel. Yeah,

652
00:32:59,640 --> 00:33:03,400
Speaker 2: that's really I would definitely buy all means, get the carburetor, rebuild,

653
00:33:03,440 --> 00:33:06,520
Speaker 2: or go through it myself. So but just just common sense,

654
00:33:06,520 --> 00:33:08,600
Speaker 2: and I think your big concern with the mechanics real

655
00:33:08,680 --> 00:33:11,640
Speaker 2: quick is just you know, how are they gonna how

656
00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:14,320
Speaker 2: are they gonna treat the car? Where can they keep it? Well,

657
00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,760
Speaker 2: they keep it inside when they can, because you don't

658
00:33:16,760 --> 00:33:19,360
Speaker 2: want something like that sitting outdoors. That becomes a problem

659
00:33:19,440 --> 00:33:21,719
Speaker 2: unto itself, and then you create other bigger issues. So

660
00:33:21,960 --> 00:33:23,440
Speaker 2: go talk to them see what they want to do,

661
00:33:23,480 --> 00:33:24,920
Speaker 2: and then by all means give me a call back.

662
00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:26,520
Speaker 2: Stay on the line. If you want a T shirt, brother,
