1
00:00:03,760 --> 00:00:06,080
Speaker 1: Ron an Aian. He wants to know what you think

2
00:00:06,200 --> 00:00:10,039
Speaker 1: of all these cars driving around all decked out in

3
00:00:10,160 --> 00:00:14,440
Speaker 1: Christmas lights. I think it's ridiculous. Listen, I'm not a scrooge. Okay,

4
00:00:14,560 --> 00:00:23,759
Speaker 1: you're a mean one, mister Grinch. You really are your

5
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:25,840
Speaker 1: as cudley as a cactus.

6
00:00:25,920 --> 00:00:31,360
Speaker 2: You're as charming as any mister Green means the car Doctor.

7
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:35,640
Speaker 3: I basically have a nineteen thirty one forward model a Sadan.

8
00:00:35,840 --> 00:00:38,200
Speaker 3: So it's been sitting in my barn for what fourteen years?

9
00:00:38,200 --> 00:00:38,440
Speaker 4: Now?

10
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:41,360
Speaker 3: What do I have to do before starting it or

11
00:00:41,400 --> 00:00:43,320
Speaker 3: trying to even start it up and running it?

12
00:00:43,320 --> 00:00:45,599
Speaker 1: I would drain the oil. I would pull plugs out

13
00:00:45,600 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 1: of it.

14
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:49,560
Speaker 5: Welcome to the radio home of ron Ananian, the Car Doctor.

15
00:00:49,840 --> 00:00:52,960
Speaker 5: Since nineteen ninety one, this is where car owners the

16
00:00:53,000 --> 00:00:57,280
Speaker 5: world overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair.

17
00:00:57,760 --> 00:01:00,560
Speaker 5: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up

18
00:01:00,560 --> 00:01:03,720
Speaker 5: the phone and call in. The garage doors.

19
00:01:03,600 --> 00:01:05,640
Speaker 1: Are open, but I am here to take your calls

20
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:08,119
Speaker 1: at eight five five five six oh ninety nine hundred

21
00:01:08,240 --> 00:01:09,680
Speaker 1: and now pee.

22
00:01:11,959 --> 00:01:12,279
Speaker 5: Running.

23
00:01:13,280 --> 00:01:16,200
Speaker 1: I want to talk to you about you know, diagnos

24
00:01:16,240 --> 00:01:18,480
Speaker 1: and stuff. You know the one that got away. Well

25
00:01:18,480 --> 00:01:20,400
Speaker 1: it's not really didn't get away yet. It's just not done.

26
00:01:20,560 --> 00:01:22,160
Speaker 1: It's sort of a work in progress. But I want

27
00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:25,600
Speaker 1: to talk to you about that. Today. We had a

28
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:28,920
Speaker 1: an oh five Chevy Tahoe brought to us at the shop.

29
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,360
Speaker 1: We got dropped off two weeks ago, this coming Monday,

30
00:01:33,080 --> 00:01:34,840
Speaker 1: and we didn't took us a week to get to

31
00:01:34,840 --> 00:01:37,520
Speaker 1: it because we're busy, and you know, we tried that

32
00:01:37,560 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 1: week that it got dropped off, but you're busy, you've

33
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,080
Speaker 1: got things scheduled, you just can't you can't get to it.

34
00:01:42,120 --> 00:01:44,039
Speaker 1: So we're typically a week to ten days out in

35
00:01:44,040 --> 00:01:46,600
Speaker 1: some cases. In most cases, it depends on the time

36
00:01:46,640 --> 00:01:48,360
Speaker 1: of the year. You know, middle of July were three

37
00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:52,800
Speaker 1: weeks out. So I got around to it on Monday.

38
00:01:53,840 --> 00:01:56,200
Speaker 1: And I had kind of tinkered with it the previous week,

39
00:01:56,280 --> 00:01:59,280
Speaker 1: trying to, you know, just poke at it a little bit.

40
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: But I really got an a full blast on Monday.

41
00:02:02,520 --> 00:02:05,120
Speaker 1: And I've verified what the customer told me, because it's

42
00:02:05,280 --> 00:02:07,840
Speaker 1: isn't it my obligation If you walk in and say, hey, Ron,

43
00:02:07,880 --> 00:02:12,800
Speaker 1: my car needs this, and you're wrong, and I follow

44
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: your advice, Aren't I doing it wrong? Aren't you coming

45
00:02:18,240 --> 00:02:20,760
Speaker 1: to me because I'm supposed to be the expert and

46
00:02:21,080 --> 00:02:22,880
Speaker 1: be able to solve the problem, and I have to

47
00:02:22,919 --> 00:02:25,359
Speaker 1: do so. You know, like I always tell you steps

48
00:02:25,360 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: one through ten. If you're going steps one through ten,

49
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:31,200
Speaker 1: you can't. You don't want to skip a step. You

50
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:34,799
Speaker 1: don't want to go too four six eight. And I've

51
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:37,560
Speaker 1: always learned this about diagnostics. You ever notice how whenever

52
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:41,080
Speaker 1: you're trying to problem solve anything, and this really applies

53
00:02:41,120 --> 00:02:43,640
Speaker 1: to automobiles, but anything in life. Whenever you try to

54
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:47,000
Speaker 1: apply something you know to troubleshoot and apply a problem

55
00:02:47,040 --> 00:02:50,040
Speaker 1: a solution to a problem, anybody you tell to their

56
00:02:50,080 --> 00:02:53,480
Speaker 1: answer is usually the same. Well, I knew that, And

57
00:02:53,520 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: my first thought is, gee, I guess. I guess I

58
00:02:56,440 --> 00:02:58,040
Speaker 1: shouldn't be working on the car. I should have brought

59
00:02:58,080 --> 00:02:59,920
Speaker 1: the car to you. You would have fixed it in three minutes,

60
00:03:00,720 --> 00:03:04,520
Speaker 1: because it's always easier once you're done to go. Oh,

61
00:03:04,560 --> 00:03:07,160
Speaker 1: I knew that. I love people that say that. I

62
00:03:07,400 --> 00:03:10,160
Speaker 1: just I will play with that person like you can't

63
00:03:10,200 --> 00:03:13,840
Speaker 1: believe you know, I'll ask him the question about in

64
00:03:13,919 --> 00:03:16,880
Speaker 1: order to advance the spark, what do we do to

65
00:03:16,919 --> 00:03:19,440
Speaker 1: ignition timing? And just watch their head spin which way

66
00:03:19,440 --> 00:03:22,440
Speaker 1: do we move the points? You know, goofy things like that.

67
00:03:22,480 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: What does dwell mean? Anyway? I'm off the subject. So

68
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:29,799
Speaker 1: I went through steps one through ten and one of

69
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,240
Speaker 1: the things I learned was I learned that it had

70
00:03:32,280 --> 00:03:34,480
Speaker 1: good fuel pressure. I learned that it had good volume.

71
00:03:35,200 --> 00:03:37,080
Speaker 1: That the end the customer, I should point out, the

72
00:03:37,120 --> 00:03:38,560
Speaker 1: customer is a bit of a do it yourself and

73
00:03:38,600 --> 00:03:40,600
Speaker 1: I admire that. I think I think Chris did a

74
00:03:40,600 --> 00:03:44,520
Speaker 1: fair job. He put a fuel pump in it, and

75
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:46,280
Speaker 1: you know, I didn't find anything wrong with the installed

76
00:03:46,360 --> 00:03:48,480
Speaker 1: from what I could see. I can't see everything because

77
00:03:48,480 --> 00:03:50,480
Speaker 1: I can't lower the tank. I can't crawl up where

78
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,520
Speaker 1: the wiring is I can, but you know, the pump ran,

79
00:03:53,640 --> 00:03:57,880
Speaker 1: it had fuel pressure. The truck just wouldn't start. It

80
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:00,280
Speaker 1: had no spark something else. Chris told me. In all

81
00:04:00,280 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: fairness to Chris, and this by no means On'm I

82
00:04:03,560 --> 00:04:06,280
Speaker 1: picking on this, on this gentleman, Chris, this isn't That

83
00:04:06,360 --> 00:04:09,960
Speaker 1: isn't what this is about. And you know, I looked

84
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:11,880
Speaker 1: over the work that was done. It looked, okay, there's

85
00:04:11,880 --> 00:04:13,560
Speaker 1: a couple of little brackets out of place, but they're

86
00:04:13,640 --> 00:04:15,520
Speaker 1: kind of bent and twisted. And I don't think you're

87
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:17,360
Speaker 1: gonna be able to correct that. And it's not having

88
00:04:17,360 --> 00:04:20,000
Speaker 1: any detrimental effect on the vehicle. At this point, twenty

89
00:04:20,240 --> 00:04:22,640
Speaker 1: one years old, you know, one hundred and twenty five

90
00:04:22,680 --> 00:04:25,040
Speaker 1: thousand miles on it. It's just it's not gonna matter,

91
00:04:25,600 --> 00:04:27,799
Speaker 1: not for a short term, not to get it running anyway.

92
00:04:28,920 --> 00:04:31,479
Speaker 1: And it came down to no spark. It really has

93
00:04:31,520 --> 00:04:34,159
Speaker 1: no spark. There's no coil output in any of the

94
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:39,279
Speaker 1: plugs has injector pulse. You can plug a scan tool

95
00:04:39,320 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: in and while you're cranking it with a scan tool,

96
00:04:41,960 --> 00:04:45,440
Speaker 1: you can watch cranking rpm kickup, showing you the crank

97
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:48,960
Speaker 1: sensors working, showing you that the coil should be doing something.

98
00:04:49,760 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 1: If LS was correct, because they are receiving an input request,

99
00:04:52,640 --> 00:04:54,960
Speaker 1: they are receiving a signal. The PCM is saying, hey,

100
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:59,240
Speaker 1: it's cranking at two hundred and ninety eight rpm. Kick

101
00:04:59,320 --> 00:05:03,919
Speaker 1: kick this pig. Make the coils fire. Well, they didn't,

102
00:05:05,240 --> 00:05:08,120
Speaker 1: so I went chasing spark. Now spark on a GM

103
00:05:08,680 --> 00:05:12,000
Speaker 1: ignition system on an elis, there's four wires there. One's

104
00:05:12,000 --> 00:05:16,040
Speaker 1: feedback on, one's coil control, one is coil ground, and

105
00:05:16,080 --> 00:05:17,919
Speaker 1: the other one is the twelve volt feed from the

106
00:05:17,920 --> 00:05:20,600
Speaker 1: ignition switch or the ignition system that would that you've

107
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:24,680
Speaker 1: seen on every GM and otherwise ignition coil since you

108
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:30,320
Speaker 1: know nineteen forty two we had power. I verified that

109
00:05:30,360 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: I had twelve vaults. I had battery voltage keon at

110
00:05:34,400 --> 00:05:36,760
Speaker 1: the positive side of the coil, the pink wire, and

111
00:05:36,800 --> 00:05:42,200
Speaker 1: I did I had no ground, And I wait a minute,

112
00:05:42,240 --> 00:05:44,640
Speaker 1: where'd ground go? And I verified this? How are you

113
00:05:44,640 --> 00:05:46,120
Speaker 1: gonna do this? Come on, you guys have been listening

114
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:47,640
Speaker 1: to me long enough. What are you gonna do. You're

115
00:05:47,640 --> 00:05:50,200
Speaker 1: gonna get out your round style headlamp which pulls about

116
00:05:50,240 --> 00:05:53,320
Speaker 1: seven eight amps. So we're gonna we're gonna load test

117
00:05:53,520 --> 00:05:58,359
Speaker 1: the ground leg right. I went across the positive to

118
00:05:58,440 --> 00:06:01,800
Speaker 1: the ground wire, and I had no bulb, wouldn't light up.

119
00:06:02,720 --> 00:06:05,000
Speaker 1: And then I went across the positive of the coil.

120
00:06:05,520 --> 00:06:08,120
Speaker 1: I made battery ground. I came in riding from battery ground.

121
00:06:08,160 --> 00:06:12,880
Speaker 1: The light lights up. I'm missing ground. If you follow

122
00:06:13,760 --> 00:06:17,440
Speaker 1: that ground wire, that black wire, they're all wired in series.

123
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,200
Speaker 1: They're all they all connected at a splice and they

124
00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:22,680
Speaker 1: go down to G one O two ground one oh two,

125
00:06:22,680 --> 00:06:24,919
Speaker 1: which under which is just a little forward of and

126
00:06:25,080 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: under the driver's side engine mount. Now the negative battery

127
00:06:29,400 --> 00:06:31,800
Speaker 1: cable runs down to it and it bolts to the

128
00:06:31,800 --> 00:06:34,000
Speaker 1: side of the block and then G one O two

129
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: the islet is right underneath it. This block was really rusty,

130
00:06:39,240 --> 00:06:43,040
Speaker 1: and I should point out that part of the problem

131
00:06:43,600 --> 00:06:50,080
Speaker 1: is that the the ignition the vehicle had sat Chris

132
00:06:50,120 --> 00:06:52,080
Speaker 1: after he put a fuel pump in it, it was running.

133
00:06:52,600 --> 00:06:55,200
Speaker 1: The fuel pump was noisy. I don't remember the whole story,

134
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:56,520
Speaker 1: but I just know it was running. He took it

135
00:06:56,560 --> 00:06:59,240
Speaker 1: a party, put a fuel pump in it, and from

136
00:06:59,240 --> 00:07:02,359
Speaker 1: that moment on it did not start. And it seems

137
00:07:02,400 --> 00:07:05,200
Speaker 1: like in conversational exchange with Chris there was a couple

138
00:07:05,240 --> 00:07:08,039
Speaker 1: of they repaired this, they repaired that. I think it

139
00:07:08,080 --> 00:07:09,920
Speaker 1: got kind of bounced around. But in any event, the

140
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:12,200
Speaker 1: vehicle sat for two months. A lot of weird things happened.

141
00:07:12,360 --> 00:07:15,280
Speaker 1: When vehicles sit right, you know, it's like letting a

142
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: house sit empty, as I always say, So I had

143
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:20,360
Speaker 1: no spark. I went down to G one O two.

144
00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:22,920
Speaker 1: I looked at it. I could see how rusty it was.

145
00:07:23,480 --> 00:07:26,480
Speaker 1: I think there was a strand of wire holding that

146
00:07:26,560 --> 00:07:29,480
Speaker 1: islet to the block, cause I kind of looked at

147
00:07:29,480 --> 00:07:32,040
Speaker 1: the wire, and I gave it a very gentle tug,

148
00:07:32,080 --> 00:07:36,360
Speaker 1: and the thing came apart in my hands. Okay, I

149
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: took a ground lead, and I wanted to go here first.

150
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:43,160
Speaker 1: I took a ground lead and ran an alternate ground.

151
00:07:43,200 --> 00:07:44,960
Speaker 1: I made an alternate ground from G one O two

152
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:46,720
Speaker 1: to the wire coming down that feeds all the ignition

153
00:07:46,760 --> 00:07:49,640
Speaker 1: coils in series, and I grounded that wire right to

154
00:07:49,720 --> 00:07:52,440
Speaker 1: the negative post of the battery. Truck fired right up,

155
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,000
Speaker 1: had spark it started right up. It wasn't happy. It

156
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,480
Speaker 1: had been so loaded up with fuel the past previous

157
00:07:58,520 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: couple of months trying to start it. It took a

158
00:08:00,840 --> 00:08:02,360
Speaker 1: little bit for it to get its mind right. It

159
00:08:02,760 --> 00:08:05,720
Speaker 1: came up to operating temperature. It ran, It was great.

160
00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,520
Speaker 1: Disconnected the jumper, you know, shut it off, disconnected the jumper,

161
00:08:09,600 --> 00:08:13,040
Speaker 1: made a proper repair, used the heat shrink islet down there,

162
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:16,440
Speaker 1: like we've done in so many other cases with different applications,

163
00:08:17,240 --> 00:08:21,200
Speaker 1: and the truck ran. Truck ran and ran and ran,

164
00:08:21,720 --> 00:08:24,640
Speaker 1: to the point that a day later I let it go.

165
00:08:27,640 --> 00:08:30,520
Speaker 1: The vehicle went to work, is the last I had heard,

166
00:08:30,560 --> 00:08:33,040
Speaker 1: and from the sounds of it, I think it probably

167
00:08:33,080 --> 00:08:36,160
Speaker 1: went somewhere between ten and twenty miles and it was

168
00:08:36,200 --> 00:08:39,880
Speaker 1: on the trip home when the vehicle broke down again.

169
00:08:40,920 --> 00:08:43,679
Speaker 1: But it's not that it didn't run. It just started

170
00:08:43,679 --> 00:08:47,480
Speaker 1: to miss and stutter and had no power, and it

171
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 1: turned on the check engine light, and you know, it

172
00:08:50,600 --> 00:08:52,680
Speaker 1: did the usual dance you would expect from a sick

173
00:08:52,720 --> 00:08:59,120
Speaker 1: and ailing vehicle. You know, it's hard when you when

174
00:08:59,160 --> 00:09:01,720
Speaker 1: you like your customers. And I've only worked for Chris

175
00:09:01,760 --> 00:09:04,000
Speaker 1: one other time. He brought me this weird car. I

176
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,600
Speaker 1: think we talked about it here on here. It was

177
00:09:05,600 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: a Lincoln that had a dead bug in the mass

178
00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:10,360
Speaker 1: airflow sensor that I had to find because for some reason,

179
00:09:10,400 --> 00:09:13,079
Speaker 1: his stuff seems to sit. I'm not sure, you know,

180
00:09:13,120 --> 00:09:17,319
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of sending somebody with some incense, candle and

181
00:09:17,440 --> 00:09:19,840
Speaker 1: holy water over to his house to maybe purge the property.

182
00:09:19,840 --> 00:09:23,880
Speaker 1: I'm not sure what's going on here, but in any event,

183
00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:27,520
Speaker 1: Chris was a little miffed, and I get it. Listen,

184
00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,400
Speaker 1: I see it from the side of the consumer. Gee,

185
00:09:29,400 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: I just spent all this money and my truck runs badly.

186
00:09:33,880 --> 00:09:40,120
Speaker 1: But my argument is I did my job. I got

187
00:09:40,120 --> 00:09:43,240
Speaker 1: the vehicle to start, and I don't want you to think,

188
00:09:43,320 --> 00:09:45,920
Speaker 1: you know, I'm not up here moaning and complaining. I'm

189
00:09:45,960 --> 00:09:47,679
Speaker 1: telling you. You called me at the shop, I'll tell

190
00:09:47,679 --> 00:09:50,199
Speaker 1: you the same thing. You know, the mechanic gets hired

191
00:09:50,240 --> 00:09:53,240
Speaker 1: to do a job. I did my job. I can't

192
00:09:53,280 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: predict what happens next. I especially can't predict nor could

193
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:03,920
Speaker 1: anybody predict what's going to happen two miles, two minutes,

194
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:06,840
Speaker 1: two days, two weeks, two months, two years down the road.

195
00:10:06,920 --> 00:10:10,559
Speaker 1: You can't do that. And if every mechanic refused to

196
00:10:10,600 --> 00:10:12,280
Speaker 1: work on a broken car that was put in front

197
00:10:12,280 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: of them that somebody else had tried to fix, you'd

198
00:10:14,520 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: have an awful big pile of broken cars laying around

199
00:10:17,240 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: somewhere because there's an awful lot of di wires that

200
00:10:19,400 --> 00:10:24,520
Speaker 1: aren't properly fixing vehicles that get into this situation. You see,

201
00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: the reality is welcome to being a mechanic. Welcome to

202
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:34,920
Speaker 1: working on an older vehicle that has mileage, that sits,

203
00:10:35,800 --> 00:10:39,000
Speaker 1: that has multiple problems, which, by the way, this vehicle does.

204
00:10:39,040 --> 00:10:41,160
Speaker 1: It's got a pretty good water leak on the interior,

205
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:43,160
Speaker 1: which is in the back of my mind, is that

206
00:10:43,200 --> 00:10:46,320
Speaker 1: making it run the way it is. It's got airbag

207
00:10:46,400 --> 00:10:48,000
Speaker 1: lights on, it's got a bunch of other things that

208
00:10:48,040 --> 00:10:50,480
Speaker 1: don't necessarily affect the engine running an operation. But you

209
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,920
Speaker 1: can see the vehicle is you know, it's a good vehicle.

210
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: I don't think it's a terrible vehicle. But it's slowly degrading, right,

211
00:10:55,760 --> 00:10:59,600
Speaker 1: it's kind of showing its age, And I think that's

212
00:10:59,600 --> 00:11:02,120
Speaker 1: a I think I don't think that's an unrealistic statement. Hey,

213
00:11:02,200 --> 00:11:04,760
Speaker 1: you know it's you're onto a new problem. You're onto

214
00:11:04,800 --> 00:11:08,520
Speaker 1: something else, And I think that's important. And I tell

215
00:11:08,559 --> 00:11:11,640
Speaker 1: you this here because you are going to be in

216
00:11:11,679 --> 00:11:14,360
Speaker 1: this same situation either you the mechanic that's listening to

217
00:11:14,400 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: me and saying, hey, what do I do? I think

218
00:11:16,320 --> 00:11:19,480
Speaker 1: the conversation has to be. I fixed that problem. I

219
00:11:19,640 --> 00:11:23,400
Speaker 1: made it run. It ran for twenty miles. I can't

220
00:11:23,440 --> 00:11:26,800
Speaker 1: predict what happens at mile twenty one. And if I

221
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:28,719
Speaker 1: was worried about what happens at mile twenty one, I

222
00:11:28,720 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: wouldn't work on it to make it go zero miles.

223
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,080
Speaker 1: I won't work on the vehicle anymore. And that eliminates

224
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:35,360
Speaker 1: an awful lodge part of the population that needs to

225
00:11:35,360 --> 00:11:40,800
Speaker 1: get cars fixed. It will fix the Tahoe. Chris kind

226
00:11:40,800 --> 00:11:43,280
Speaker 1: of made this crazy question, would I be willing to

227
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 1: diagnose it for free. Yeah, no, that's not my job.

228
00:11:46,840 --> 00:11:49,400
Speaker 1: I'm not supposed to do that. Again, I'm not supposed

229
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: to do that. I'm supposed to get it running. But

230
00:11:52,400 --> 00:11:55,200
Speaker 1: I will help him repair it by email, and I did.

231
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 1: He wrote me some questions and I wrote him some

232
00:11:57,280 --> 00:11:59,920
Speaker 1: nice See. I don't think Chris realizes how well I

233
00:12:00,080 --> 00:12:03,360
Speaker 1: can explain things, because I'm not bragging, just fact. I

234
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:05,880
Speaker 1: think I explained things really well in every day layman's term.

235
00:12:05,960 --> 00:12:07,959
Speaker 1: So he asked me a question about how to check

236
00:12:08,040 --> 00:12:09,679
Speaker 1: all this, and I, you know, sent them three or

237
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: four paragraphs. So, but we'll see the one that got away,

238
00:12:13,800 --> 00:12:17,240
Speaker 1: the one's not fixed, the one that every mechanic dreads.

239
00:12:17,400 --> 00:12:19,480
Speaker 1: But somehow we'll get through it. And that's what order

240
00:12:19,559 --> 00:12:22,120
Speaker 1: repair is partially about. I'm Ron an Andy in the

241
00:12:22,120 --> 00:12:23,880
Speaker 1: car doctor. The phone number here is eight five five

242
00:12:23,920 --> 00:12:26,400
Speaker 1: five six zero nine nine zero zero. We're coming back

243
00:12:26,559 --> 00:12:43,280
Speaker 1: right after this. Don't go away when.

244
00:12:43,160 --> 00:12:47,080
Speaker 2: You get keep Ron's number handy eight five five five

245
00:12:47,200 --> 00:12:49,079
Speaker 2: six zero nine nine zero zero.

246
00:12:49,200 --> 00:12:51,120
Speaker 1: For one, you really need advice on your car.

247

Speaker 2: Here's Rob.

248
00:12:52,559 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: Hey, let's let's get the phones open at A five

249
00:12:55,120 --> 00:12:57,880
Speaker 1: five five six zero nine nine zero zero and let's go.

250
00:12:58,000 --> 00:12:59,800
Speaker 1: Let's go talk to Mark in Delaware. Mark, welcome to

251
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:01,080
Speaker 1: the car doctor store. How can I help?

252
00:13:02,600 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 4: Thank you?

253
00:13:03,400 --> 00:13:03,920
Speaker 1: You're welcome.

254
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 4: This call was not about a repair of a problem,

255
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:12,880
Speaker 4: but an attempt to prevent the problem from arising. Okay,

256
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:19,040
Speaker 4: and I have a twenty eighteen Chevy Equinox with a

257
00:13:19,120 --> 00:13:24,560
Speaker 4: one point six four cylinder diesel engine, though I think

258
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:30,440
Speaker 4: conceptually this applies to gasoline engines as well because of

259
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:38,360
Speaker 4: direct fuel injection. I've read that most modern engines now

260
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:43,760
Speaker 4: are prone to accumulate carbon in the intake manifold and

261
00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:48,480
Speaker 4: on the backs of the intake valves, which eventually can

262
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:50,600
Speaker 4: cause driveability problems.

263
00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:52,280
Speaker 2: Correct, So, when I.

264
00:13:52,240 --> 00:13:55,960
Speaker 4: Heard about your show started listening two or three years ago,

265
00:13:56,920 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 4: I followed up by going online to research your sponsor

266
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:09,480
Speaker 4: Hotshot Secret and started using their oil additives and the

267
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:14,920
Speaker 4: fuel additive, hoping that the exhaust will be cleaner and

268
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:25,200
Speaker 4: the EGR gases introduced into the intake would be substantialid

269
00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:31,160
Speaker 4: less and attenuate the accumulation of carbon. I also change

270
00:14:31,320 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 4: the oil every six months pretty religiously. I never go

271
00:14:35,840 --> 00:14:39,160
Speaker 4: more than five thousand miles, and it may be only

272
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:45,160
Speaker 4: two or three thousand, and I've turned off the start

273
00:14:45,200 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 4: stop feature on the engine. So the question is, what

274
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,960
Speaker 4: is there anything Am I doing the right things? You

275
00:14:55,080 --> 00:15:01,640
Speaker 4: are to retard that? And is the real answer if

276
00:15:01,680 --> 00:15:05,640
Speaker 4: it was a gasoline engine to go for dual injunctions.

277
00:15:05,720 --> 00:15:12,320
Speaker 4: So you've got the port injunction missed of gasoline and

278
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:19,960
Speaker 4: detergence washing the intake manifold and vows.

279
00:15:19,760 --> 00:15:21,760
Speaker 1: Okay, Mark, you just gave us enough for the next

280
00:15:21,760 --> 00:15:26,960
Speaker 1: three weeks. Uh, So let's let's look, let's let's I

281
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:28,600
Speaker 1: appreciate it. Let me let me, let me take this

282
00:15:28,600 --> 00:15:30,480
Speaker 1: apart a little bit if I can. First of all,

283
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:34,160
Speaker 1: the hot shot secret stuff works great. They make a

284
00:15:34,200 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 1: great product, and we've been using it in the shop

285
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,520
Speaker 1: for a while. And yes, you hear them up on air,

286
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,120
Speaker 1: because it's usually what happens is we like something in

287
00:15:41,120 --> 00:15:43,120
Speaker 1: the shop, we use it in the shop. And I'm

288
00:15:43,240 --> 00:15:45,680
Speaker 1: very fortunate I'm in a position where I don't have

289
00:15:45,720 --> 00:15:48,200
Speaker 1: anybody leaning on me. I can go find the sponsors

290
00:15:48,200 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: that I want and you know, put them up and

291
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:51,080
Speaker 1: it works.

292
00:15:51,120 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 2: Right.

293
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,320
Speaker 1: I have a great relationship. I try to give you

294
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:56,280
Speaker 1: guys my listeners. You know, real deal, real stuff. You know,

295
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:57,920
Speaker 1: that's what keeps this show on the air and has

296
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,520
Speaker 1: been on the air for thirty three years now. The

297
00:16:00,800 --> 00:16:04,480
Speaker 1: hot Shot Secret family of products. You know, what I

298
00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: think you should be doing is that Diesel Extreme. They

299
00:16:08,040 --> 00:16:09,640
Speaker 1: have two products that I think about all the time.

300
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:12,680
Speaker 1: Diesel Extreme, which is sort of like that high dose

301
00:16:13,240 --> 00:16:18,560
Speaker 1: fuel system cleaner for diesels, all right, and that's that

302
00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:21,960
Speaker 1: big vitamin B shot in the arm that will help

303
00:16:22,000 --> 00:16:26,040
Speaker 1: get things moving. And then everyday diesel treatment is in

304
00:16:26,080 --> 00:16:29,600
Speaker 1: my mind, the smaller vitamin B shot that you take

305
00:16:29,640 --> 00:16:31,680
Speaker 1: on a more regular basis, that you apply on a

306
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:34,880
Speaker 1: more regular basis, and both of those products just do

307
00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 1: a wonderful job of keeping the inside of that diesel

308
00:16:37,680 --> 00:16:40,640
Speaker 1: engine as clean as it can possibly be. See. The

309
00:16:40,720 --> 00:16:43,480
Speaker 1: problem with diesels, and this isn't a well known fact,

310
00:16:43,520 --> 00:16:45,640
Speaker 1: and you can research it, I'm sure you will, but

311
00:16:46,360 --> 00:16:48,680
Speaker 1: I still believe it to be true, is there is

312
00:16:48,800 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 1: no federal requirement. There's a federal requirement that detergents be

313
00:16:53,080 --> 00:16:57,200
Speaker 1: added to gasoline at the refineries, but there's no mandate

314
00:16:57,960 --> 00:17:01,480
Speaker 1: to put detergents into diesel fuel at the refinery level.

315
00:17:02,360 --> 00:17:06,719
Speaker 1: So diesel engines by sheer design and acceptance of this

316
00:17:07,119 --> 00:17:10,680
Speaker 1: can be more susceptible to carbon deposit build up. All right,

317
00:17:10,720 --> 00:17:11,360
Speaker 1: now it's been a.

318
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:18,680
Speaker 6: Couple The manual recommends top Tier Diesel, which I think

319
00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:23,159
Speaker 6: I will find it right after I discover a living unicorn.

320
00:17:23,440 --> 00:17:26,760
Speaker 1: Yeah, it's tough. Now you can go Have you been

321
00:17:26,840 --> 00:17:29,040
Speaker 1: to top tier the website for top I think it's

322
00:17:29,040 --> 00:17:31,200
Speaker 1: top Tier Gasoline or top tier dot com. I'm not

323
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:33,119
Speaker 1: sure you haven't been there in a while, but you

324
00:17:33,160 --> 00:17:35,080
Speaker 1: could see if they have it listed there. But yeah,

325
00:17:35,119 --> 00:17:37,720
Speaker 1: you're always and listen, whether you're driving a gasoline engine

326
00:17:37,800 --> 00:17:41,520
Speaker 1: or a diesel engine, you're always looking for top tier fuels.

327
00:17:41,080 --> 00:17:45,200
Speaker 1: It's just important, all right. But I will tell you this.

328
00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:48,639
Speaker 1: You can go out to the hot Shot Secret website,

Speaker 1: to you, hey, how to get better longevity at that

333
00:18:00,240 --> 00:18:03,000

Speaker 1: I'll be back right after this. Don't go away, you

340
00:18:44,720 --> 00:18:46,919
Speaker 1: know I should. I just want to talk about this

341
00:18:46,920 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: real quick before we go back to the phones. I

342
00:18:49,080 --> 00:18:52,280
Speaker 1: should point out and I apologize because I really wanted

343
00:18:52,320 --> 00:18:54,959
Speaker 1: to get this going before Christmas, and it still might

344
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:56,720
Speaker 1: get up there before Christmas. I just don't think there's

345
00:18:56,720 --> 00:18:58,960
Speaker 1: gonna be time for you to do holiday shopping and all.

346
00:18:59,280 --> 00:19:02,840
Speaker 1: But the car Doctor Merchant store is so close. I

347
00:19:02,880 --> 00:19:05,919
Speaker 1: mean it's so close you can you can see the

348
00:19:05,960 --> 00:19:09,320
Speaker 1: glitter in the balloons and the grand opening banners going up.

349
00:19:09,359 --> 00:19:12,119
Speaker 1: I mean, it's just like right there. We just added

350
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:15,960
Speaker 1: besides T shirts, coffee cups, mouse pads, and there was

351
00:19:15,960 --> 00:19:17,479
Speaker 1: one other thing we put up there. I can't think

352
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:20,160
Speaker 1: of what it was, but we put up We added hoodies,

353
00:19:20,680 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 1: we added caps, and we've added great T shirts to

354
00:19:24,840 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: go with the white and the black ones. So you know,

355
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:30,399
Speaker 1: coming soon. I got to think before the end of

356
00:19:30,440 --> 00:19:33,679
Speaker 1: the year. But you just go to our website. Keep

357
00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:35,360
Speaker 1: an eye on our website, I should say, right, car

358
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:37,840
Speaker 1: doctorshow dot com. If you keep an eye on card

359
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:40,520
Speaker 1: doctorshow dot com, you'll you'll see it up there within

360
00:19:40,720 --> 00:19:43,080
Speaker 1: I think within the next two weeks, it's gonna pop open.

361
00:19:43,600 --> 00:19:45,399
Speaker 1: And we've got a bunch of things going up, and

362
00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,040
Speaker 1: you know, we appreciate your feedback as always, and we're

363
00:19:48,080 --> 00:19:49,560
Speaker 1: just trying to give you the merchandise and the things

364
00:19:49,560 --> 00:19:51,320
Speaker 1: you guys have been asking for for years. It's just

365
00:19:52,160 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: I'm a little slow. I'm kind of busy fixing cars.

366
00:19:54,240 --> 00:19:57,560
Speaker 1: You know, it happens like that. But in any event,

367
00:19:57,600 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: let's let's go over to Kevin in Florida and see

368
00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:02,120
Speaker 1: what's going on here. Kevin, Welcome to the car doctor, Sir.

369
00:20:02,160 --> 00:20:02,720
Speaker 1: How can I help?

370
00:20:03,960 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 3: Hey?

371
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:05,320
Speaker 2: Ron, how are you doing? Good? Sir?

372
00:20:05,359 --> 00:20:06,880
Speaker 1: What's going on? Yes, sir, hey, I.

373
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,920
Speaker 2: Got a two thousand and five Chrysler Town and Country.

374
00:20:10,480 --> 00:20:12,600
Speaker 2: It gets very little use down here in Florida. We

375
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:14,680
Speaker 2: come down for a few months in the winter time, right,

376
00:20:14,880 --> 00:20:17,960
Speaker 2: And I hooked the battery back up in it this

377
00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 2: year and started it up and ran it for maybe

378
00:20:20,240 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 2: a mile or two miles, and the oil light came

379
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:25,160
Speaker 2: on and it's throwing a P zero five twenty two.

380
00:20:25,560 --> 00:20:31,240
Speaker 1: Okay, oil pressures, right, c So get ahead, go ahead?

381
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:34,119
Speaker 2: Is it possibly you think that maybe I got a

382
00:20:34,119 --> 00:20:36,800
Speaker 2: bad filter. I should maybe throw it in for another oil.

383
00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,920
Speaker 2: I'm guilty of going into the quick oil changes. I'll

384
00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:42,000
Speaker 2: give you that, because the car is barely used here.

385
00:20:42,760 --> 00:20:45,399
Speaker 1: You know, what does the oil look like? Is the

386
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:47,399
Speaker 1: oil muky? Is the oil discolored?

387
00:20:47,680 --> 00:20:50,200
Speaker 2: It looks it looks like brand new, and it's full.

388
00:20:51,119 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 2: And the spots in the driveway or anything like that.

389
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:55,320
Speaker 2: It's not leaking. The center is not leaking.

390
00:20:55,520 --> 00:20:55,720
Speaker 4: Right.

391
00:20:55,760 --> 00:20:58,679
Speaker 1: The oil light stays on. The oil light stays on,

392
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,760
Speaker 1: you know, from hot from the hot and so forth right.

393
00:21:01,800 --> 00:21:04,800
Speaker 2: It's it's just I shut it right off as soon

394
00:21:04,840 --> 00:21:06,600
Speaker 2: as I saw it. I drove it. It's only a

395
00:21:06,680 --> 00:21:08,080
Speaker 2: less than a mile from my house, so I just

396
00:21:08,119 --> 00:21:10,440
Speaker 2: drove it home and shut it off. It sounds fine, right,

397
00:21:10,720 --> 00:21:14,360
Speaker 2: And then I disconnected the battery and hooked it back

398
00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,040
Speaker 2: up and I started it and it's not back on yet.

399
00:21:17,080 --> 00:21:19,320
Speaker 2: But I'm just thinking, maybe I should just send it

400
00:21:19,320 --> 00:21:21,160
Speaker 2: in for an oil change, also, just to make sure

401
00:21:21,280 --> 00:21:24,119
Speaker 2: that maybe maybe they put the wrong oil in or

402
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:24,960
Speaker 2: maybe bad filter.

403
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:29,600
Speaker 1: It's more than likely, more than likely it's a bad

404
00:21:29,640 --> 00:21:32,960
Speaker 1: sending unit, believe it or not. Okay, it just has

405
00:21:32,960 --> 00:21:35,920
Speaker 1: nothing to do with sitting so the way I would

406
00:21:35,960 --> 00:21:38,200
Speaker 1: diagnose it, and let me just let me just scold

407
00:21:38,240 --> 00:21:40,680
Speaker 1: you for a second, but I'll be gentle. Don't don't

408
00:21:40,720 --> 00:21:42,840
Speaker 1: And I get why you guys disconnect batteries. But do

409
00:21:42,880 --> 00:21:45,840
Speaker 1: you do you own a scan tool? Kevin?

410
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:46,120
Speaker 2: Though?

411
00:21:46,280 --> 00:21:48,000
Speaker 1: Okay, how do you know it's out the five twenty two?

412
00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: Oh you went to an autopart store?

413
00:21:50,320 --> 00:21:52,080
Speaker 2: No, no, just flipping the key.

414
00:21:52,480 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: Oh okay, you're counting codes, all right? So you know,

415
00:21:57,000 --> 00:22:00,800
Speaker 1: buy a scan tool. You're you're a handy either, cheap enough,

416
00:22:00,840 --> 00:22:03,400
Speaker 1: the holidays are coming, put on your Christmas list under

417
00:22:03,400 --> 00:22:05,280
Speaker 1: five hundred bucks. Five hundred bucks isn't a lot of

418
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:08,040
Speaker 1: money anymore, and you can get something that will read

419
00:22:08,040 --> 00:22:10,720
Speaker 1: codes and give you data. And the reason I say that,

420
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:13,439
Speaker 1: okay is and I want to address this for this

421
00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:16,720
Speaker 1: reason alone. Well, number one, you're making the job of

422
00:22:16,760 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: a mechanic harder, all right. If you took that car

423
00:22:18,920 --> 00:22:21,439
Speaker 1: into a mechanic and it was something more than a

424
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,520
Speaker 1: five twenty two, which is usually a very clear cut fault.

425
00:22:25,160 --> 00:22:27,680
Speaker 1: But if it had a driveability performance problem, if it

426
00:22:27,720 --> 00:22:29,159
Speaker 1: had a no two cents or fault, if it had

427
00:22:29,160 --> 00:22:32,760
Speaker 1: a catalytic converter failure, when you disconnect the battery, because

428
00:22:32,760 --> 00:22:36,280
Speaker 1: you're going to clear codes. In your mind, you're clearing

429
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:39,639
Speaker 1: it all out. You're clearing out all the information that

430
00:22:39,840 --> 00:22:42,480
Speaker 1: could be used to diagnose that problem. So now you're

431
00:22:42,480 --> 00:22:45,160
Speaker 1: putting the mechanic back at square one. Now, the poor

432
00:22:45,200 --> 00:22:48,200
Speaker 1: guy's got to duplicate the code right so he can

433
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:50,840
Speaker 1: see the conditions under which the failure occurred because he

434
00:22:50,840 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: can't look at mode six anymore because all those tests

435
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:55,959
Speaker 1: are gone. He can't look at freeze frame. All that

436
00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: data is gone. So you're making his job harder. So

437
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:02,480
Speaker 1: I get it, you know, you know what. We're all

438
00:23:02,600 --> 00:23:04,600
Speaker 1: we're all tempted by trying to save a few bucks,

439
00:23:04,640 --> 00:23:07,159
Speaker 1: but it always comes back to bite us. Number one.

440
00:23:07,280 --> 00:23:11,520
Speaker 1: Number two. If this was a newer car, if this

441
00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:12,960
Speaker 1: was is this is what yours?

442
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:13,199
Speaker 6: This car?

443
00:23:13,240 --> 00:23:15,680
Speaker 1: There is a No. Five. If this was a if

444
00:23:15,680 --> 00:23:18,400
Speaker 1: this was a twenty twenty five automobile or a twenty

445
00:23:18,520 --> 00:23:22,439
Speaker 1: twenty something, much newer with much more quote unquote computer

446
00:23:22,520 --> 00:23:27,320
Speaker 1: intelligence on it. And you start disconnecting batteries, you're losing

447
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,359
Speaker 1: you're losing all the data, you're losing, you're losing the

448
00:23:30,480 --> 00:23:33,920
Speaker 1: driving characteristic of that vehicle because that vehicle has sort

449
00:23:33,960 --> 00:23:37,040
Speaker 1: of adapted itself to how Kevin drives. You know, it

450
00:23:37,720 --> 00:23:40,600
Speaker 1: knows how you go, it knows how you you know,

451
00:23:40,720 --> 00:23:42,440
Speaker 1: how you step on the gas, step on the brake,

452
00:23:42,520 --> 00:23:45,800
Speaker 1: and so forth. You've changed and lost that driving characteristic

453
00:23:45,840 --> 00:23:49,320
Speaker 1: that might take another fifty hundred, two hundred miles to learn.

454
00:23:49,359 --> 00:23:53,320
Speaker 1: So you know you're you're hurting yourself. That being said,

455
00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:55,159
Speaker 1: I won't bring it up again. I just wanted to

456
00:23:55,160 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 1: mention it. Thank you for your patience. You know what,

457
00:23:58,720 --> 00:24:00,840
Speaker 1: if we were in the shop and I was explaining this,

458
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:02,800
Speaker 1: and you know I was, I was walking you through

459
00:24:02,800 --> 00:24:08,280
Speaker 1: the repair, depending upon where descending unit is, I would

460
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,520
Speaker 1: put a mechanical gauge on the engine and check oil pressure,

461
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:12,600
Speaker 1: all right.

462
00:24:12,600 --> 00:24:14,399
Speaker 2: Yeah, right above the oil filter.

463
00:24:14,560 --> 00:24:18,000
Speaker 1: Right, it's not terrible to get to. If I'm lazy,

464
00:24:18,720 --> 00:24:20,720
Speaker 1: or I'm in a bad spot, or it's it's a

465
00:24:20,800 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: it's an adapter that just or if it's a spot

466
00:24:22,840 --> 00:24:25,080
Speaker 1: that no adapter is going to work, I'm going to

467
00:24:25,160 --> 00:24:28,080
Speaker 1: apply a little common sense. If I start the engine

468
00:24:28,160 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: up and I don't hear any mechanical noise, I don't

469
00:24:30,960 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: hear lifter tick, I don't have tapping, I don't I

470
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:36,359
Speaker 1: don't have any engine noise, I'm going to say, okay,

471
00:24:36,359 --> 00:24:40,560
Speaker 1: I've got good oil pressure, all right. Once I established

472
00:24:40,640 --> 00:24:43,280
Speaker 1: that in the case of your of your town and country,

473
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:46,560
Speaker 1: because it's it's got to be four psi minimum at idol,

474
00:24:46,800 --> 00:24:48,960
Speaker 1: all right, and then around three grand it'll be anywhere

475
00:24:48,960 --> 00:24:52,560
Speaker 1: between twenty five and hundred pounds of oil pressure, all right.

476
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,120
Speaker 1: So once I get past that, whether by mechanical gauge

477
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: or by magical wave of the wand because for a

478
00:24:59,359 --> 00:25:01,440
Speaker 1: variety reasons, I just can't get a gauge in there,

479
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: I've got good pressure. But how do I diagnose the

480
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:07,200
Speaker 1: problem In the case of your town and country, all right,

481
00:25:07,560 --> 00:25:11,520
Speaker 1: there's a violet gray wire that if you unplug that

482
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:15,320
Speaker 1: keon engine offer keon engine running, you should have about

483
00:25:15,359 --> 00:25:19,040
Speaker 1: ten volts, all right. If you've got ten.

484
00:25:18,960 --> 00:25:21,520
Speaker 2: Vaults there, that's the ones that is censor itself.

485
00:25:21,359 --> 00:25:24,480
Speaker 1: Right, that's at the sensor itself, the violet gray signal wire,

486
00:25:24,920 --> 00:25:28,359
Speaker 1: all right, should have ten vaults unplugged, all right, because

487
00:25:28,440 --> 00:25:30,879
Speaker 1: what that sensor is doing is that sensor is a

488
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:34,600
Speaker 1: potentiometer fancy college word for a variable resistor, fancy college

489
00:25:34,600 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 1: word for as oil pressure goes up and down the

490
00:25:37,720 --> 00:25:40,920
Speaker 1: resistance value and the ability to pull signal to ground varies,

491
00:25:41,119 --> 00:25:43,800
Speaker 1: which gives the correct signal back to the PCM so

492
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,600
Speaker 1: it can control the dash cluster, all right. To give

493
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:48,880
Speaker 1: you guys, either a light or a gauge, depending upon

494
00:25:48,880 --> 00:25:52,480
Speaker 1: what you've got, all right, but if you've got you

495
00:25:52,520 --> 00:25:55,040
Speaker 1: should have a violet gray. You know, it's a ten

496
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: vault unplugged thing in all likelihood. You know, out of

497
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,639
Speaker 1: one hundred documented cases, I bet you ninety nine percent

498
00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: of the time, this is a bad sender. The only

499
00:26:05,600 --> 00:26:09,320
Speaker 1: reason I'm a little skeptical, all right, I'm just being cautious.

500
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:12,359
Speaker 1: Maybe cautions is a better word than skeptical, is because

501
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:16,280
Speaker 1: you said the car had been sitting, all right, And

502
00:26:16,359 --> 00:26:21,480
Speaker 1: what happens to the cars when they sit? Who shows up? Critters? Right?

503
00:26:22,000 --> 00:26:24,239
Speaker 1: The bugs? The bugs and the critters, and you know,

504
00:26:24,359 --> 00:26:26,320
Speaker 1: critters and cars. Man, I'm telling you, I could write

505
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,720
Speaker 1: a book. Now you're in Florida. I don't know if

506
00:26:28,720 --> 00:26:31,840
Speaker 1: you're near the crocodiles or the alligators, which is a

507
00:26:31,840 --> 00:26:35,239
Speaker 1: whole other Yeah, yeah, you know. It's like we used

508
00:26:35,280 --> 00:26:36,760
Speaker 1: to have a customer, true story, we used to have

509
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,439
Speaker 1: a customer come up from Floria, Santa Belle Island. You know,

510
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: he lived in New Jersey. He retired to Florida, and

511
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,840
Speaker 1: his nickname was Bugsy. I can't even remember the customer's name.

512
00:26:44,880 --> 00:26:47,600
Speaker 1: I just remember Buggsy on his license plate. And it

513
00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,600
Speaker 1: was because he had moved to Florida, right, you know,

514
00:26:49,640 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 1: Home of the Bugs is my understanding of how he

515
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,520
Speaker 1: got the nickname. But one day Bugsy shows up to

516
00:26:54,560 --> 00:26:57,239
Speaker 1: the shop and Gus. Gus was working for me at

517
00:26:57,280 --> 00:26:59,359
Speaker 1: the time. He is changing young mechanical. We gave him

518
00:26:59,359 --> 00:27:02,200
Speaker 1: the job. Gus the oil in the car. Gus puts

519
00:27:02,200 --> 00:27:04,080
Speaker 1: the car up in the air. It's just in off

520
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:05,919
Speaker 1: the road. Bugsy had shown up. He had dropped it

521
00:27:05,960 --> 00:27:07,919
Speaker 1: off and went home to his relatives. He was going

522
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:09,080
Speaker 1: to pick it up at the end of the day

523
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,359
Speaker 1: when he was done visiting. And Gus puts it up

524
00:27:11,400 --> 00:27:13,240
Speaker 1: in the air and he lowers the body shield the

525
00:27:13,280 --> 00:27:17,679
Speaker 1: lower splash pan underneath, and a baby crocodile probably about

526
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:20,639
Speaker 1: eh good two to two and a half feet long.

527
00:27:20,920 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: It was dead. Fortunately, it had crawled up onto the

528
00:27:24,640 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: shield somewhere in Florida, and the exhaust pipe baked it

529
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:30,359
Speaker 1: the entire way up right, you know, the eighteen hundred

530
00:27:30,359 --> 00:27:33,840
Speaker 1: mile ride and killed it. Yeah, it was lunch. I

531
00:27:33,880 --> 00:27:37,760
Speaker 1: looked at him and I said, you're hungry. Gus wasn't

532
00:27:37,840 --> 00:27:39,800
Speaker 1: right for about a week. It took him a long

533
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:42,760
Speaker 1: time to get over that. So anyway, that's where you're at, kiddo.

534
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:44,320
Speaker 1: You probably got a bet sending you to make sure

535
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,320
Speaker 1: you use a good quality part. No fooling around, no

536
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,399
Speaker 1: cheap stuff. Diagnose it like I said, and change it.

537
00:27:49,440 --> 00:27:50,440
Speaker 1: You'll be fine. All right.

538
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:52,919
Speaker 2: Do you have any more to Chrystler Books?

539
00:27:53,400 --> 00:27:53,480
Speaker 5: No?

540
00:27:53,600 --> 00:27:56,480
Speaker 1: I don't. I'm sorry. You can. You can go out.

541
00:27:56,640 --> 00:27:58,480
Speaker 1: You can go out online and get that book. That

542
00:27:58,480 --> 00:28:00,520
Speaker 1: books available on Amazon. It's not a lot of money,

543
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,959
Speaker 1: I think, with somewhere between thirty and fifty bucks. If

544
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:05,639
Speaker 1: you check the website you'll see a picture of it.

545
00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,240
Speaker 1: But I appreciate the thought. But you know what, I'm

546
00:28:07,280 --> 00:28:09,680
Speaker 1: going through the prize closet. Stay tuned because I'm trying

547
00:28:09,720 --> 00:28:11,080
Speaker 1: to give away a few things. I'm trying to clear

548
00:28:11,119 --> 00:28:12,240
Speaker 1: out the closet for next year.

549
00:28:12,400 --> 00:28:14,640
Speaker 2: All right, kiddo, sounds good.

550
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:17,000
Speaker 1: You're very welcome. I take good care. I'm running dying

551
00:28:17,000 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: in the car. Doctor. We are back right after this

552
00:28:32,800 --> 00:28:35,080
Speaker 1: let's uh, gee, we haven't talked to New York in

553
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:37,240
Speaker 1: a while. Let's go talk to Paul on Long Island,

554
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,320
Speaker 1: nineteen Chevy Equinox. Paul, Welcome to the car doctor, sir.

555
00:28:40,360 --> 00:28:40,920
Speaker 1: How can I help?

556
00:28:42,920 --> 00:28:43,600
Speaker 2: How are you good?

557
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:43,760
Speaker 1: Sir?

558
00:28:44,280 --> 00:28:46,720
Speaker 7: I have time for any freeze service on the car.

559
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:49,040
Speaker 7: And I walk into an autopod store and they have

560
00:28:49,160 --> 00:28:53,120
Speaker 7: AI freeze virtually for every car made. And yet then

561
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:55,880
Speaker 7: there's any freeze that says compatible with all cars?

562
00:28:56,200 --> 00:28:56,440
Speaker 1: Right?

563
00:28:57,680 --> 00:29:00,840
Speaker 7: How critical is that? Deck's cool to these em and

564
00:29:01,560 --> 00:29:04,600
Speaker 7: put your thoughts on Also, if they're a block drain,

565
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:07,680
Speaker 7: where during the block will so let's take.

566
00:29:07,600 --> 00:29:11,640
Speaker 1: Them in order. So I'm gonna tell you to go

567
00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:15,760
Speaker 1: find some Peak, right. Peak makes the best cor yep.

568
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:17,680
Speaker 1: And the commercials are real because we use it in

569
00:29:17,720 --> 00:29:20,000
Speaker 1: the shop. Again, you know, the products we use in

570
00:29:20,040 --> 00:29:22,240
Speaker 1: the shop usually end up here sponsoring the show. And

571
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,240
Speaker 1: that's what gets you guys to be able to listen

572
00:29:24,280 --> 00:29:26,840
Speaker 1: to it all these years. Like I said, I'm fortunate

573
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:29,120
Speaker 1: we've been recognized as who we are and what we do.

574
00:29:29,200 --> 00:29:31,240
Speaker 1: And uh, you know, we use Peak in the shop

575
00:29:31,280 --> 00:29:33,320
Speaker 1: all day long and it's great stuff. And Peak does

576
00:29:33,400 --> 00:29:36,000
Speaker 1: make a dex cool coolant, So I have no problem

577
00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,600
Speaker 1: with the Peak also makes a universal coolant if you're

578
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:41,760
Speaker 1: in a situation maybe multiple vehicles in the family, and

579
00:29:42,400 --> 00:29:44,040
Speaker 1: you know you've got to you know, you've got to

580
00:29:44,080 --> 00:29:45,440
Speaker 1: You've got to mix it red and a green and

581
00:29:45,440 --> 00:29:47,440
Speaker 1: a blue. And however we want to reference it by

582
00:29:47,480 --> 00:29:49,400
Speaker 1: color or make or you know, they're all make. All

583
00:29:49,440 --> 00:29:52,440
Speaker 1: model stuff is wonderful too. But you can, you know,

584
00:29:52,600 --> 00:29:55,680
Speaker 1: go online, look up Peak, just research just you know,

585
00:29:55,840 --> 00:29:59,720
Speaker 1: Google search Peak p E A K Peak coolant and

586
00:29:59,800 --> 00:30:02,479
Speaker 1: you and read all about it. And you know, in

587
00:30:02,520 --> 00:30:06,960
Speaker 1: my mind, chemicals that are going into an ormobile today

588
00:30:07,440 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: are as good as the engineers that make them right.

589
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:14,480
Speaker 1: And Peak has a very long, well established chemical department

590
00:30:14,840 --> 00:30:16,840
Speaker 1: that says, we need this blend with this, and this

591
00:30:16,880 --> 00:30:19,120
Speaker 1: blend with that. And that's what makes them who they are,

592
00:30:20,040 --> 00:30:22,520
Speaker 1: you know, it's it's you know, how do the winning

593
00:30:22,560 --> 00:30:25,160
Speaker 1: sports teams stay winning every year because they keep applying

594
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:27,440
Speaker 1: and you know, doing the research in the leg work.

595
00:30:27,760 --> 00:30:30,560
Speaker 1: That being said, how critical is dex cool to a

596
00:30:30,640 --> 00:30:34,239
Speaker 1: GM engine. I think it goes at a level that

597
00:30:34,440 --> 00:30:38,000
Speaker 1: you or I cannot understand. I could sit here and say, well,

598
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,360
Speaker 1: it's critical because of the alloys the engine block is

599
00:30:40,400 --> 00:30:42,720
Speaker 1: made out of. It's critical because of the rubber components

600
00:30:42,720 --> 00:30:45,240
Speaker 1: in the system. It's critical because of and go on

601
00:30:45,280 --> 00:30:48,760
Speaker 1: and on and on. But GM's got a specific reason

602
00:30:49,320 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: for dex cool. They didn't come up with it, you know,

603
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,440
Speaker 1: for their health. Now it could actually go into and

604
00:30:55,480 --> 00:30:57,959
Speaker 1: this will this might blow your mind. It could actually

605
00:30:57,960 --> 00:31:00,680
Speaker 1: go into the way the engineers run the elect tronics

606
00:31:00,680 --> 00:31:03,800
Speaker 1: of the vehicle to determine what type of coolant to

607
00:31:03,880 --> 00:31:07,400
Speaker 1: put into a vehicle. All right, I believe you've heard

608
00:31:07,400 --> 00:31:10,880
Speaker 1: the terminal electrolysis. You've you've I've seen it myself with

609
00:31:10,920 --> 00:31:14,680
Speaker 1: different grounds and different things that affect how a vehicle operates,

610
00:31:14,680 --> 00:31:18,560
Speaker 1: and how well that coolant might provide a path for

611
00:31:18,680 --> 00:31:21,000
Speaker 1: ground through it, and some of the other things that

612
00:31:21,040 --> 00:31:25,600
Speaker 1: coolant does beyond just you know, cooling. It is a

613
00:31:25,640 --> 00:31:28,000
Speaker 1: cause for effect. So if it says dex cool, I

614
00:31:28,080 --> 00:31:30,280
Speaker 1: use dex cool. If it says conventional green, I use

615
00:31:30,320 --> 00:31:33,040
Speaker 1: conventional green. I don't have time to argue with the

616
00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:40,840
Speaker 1: engineer anymore because the the you know what I'm saying. Yeah, okay,

617
00:31:40,960 --> 00:31:43,600
Speaker 1: so you know the amount of time, because otherwise people

618
00:31:43,640 --> 00:31:45,040
Speaker 1: say to me, how do I know when the cars fixed.

619
00:31:45,080 --> 00:31:47,160
Speaker 1: The software doesn't tell me. Well, guess what the software

620
00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:49,080
Speaker 1: doesn't tell you, because the engineer doesn't tell you me

621
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,520
Speaker 1: or the guy that built it. They have a reason

622
00:31:51,520 --> 00:31:53,720
Speaker 1: why they want it done a certain way, So I

623
00:31:54,720 --> 00:31:58,360
Speaker 1: don't argue that fact. Now, is there a block drain?

624
00:31:58,920 --> 00:32:01,800
Speaker 1: I don't believe there is a block drain. What I

625
00:32:01,840 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: would do is I would look for something up around

626
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,520
Speaker 1: the bottom galley plugs of the engine itself. If not.

627
00:32:08,200 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: The only real way to do a coolant service is

628
00:32:11,240 --> 00:32:14,960
Speaker 1: to tie in with a coolant exchange machine, all right.

629
00:32:15,520 --> 00:32:18,000
Speaker 1: And you know, to just do a radiator drain, you

630
00:32:18,080 --> 00:32:20,640
Speaker 1: only get out about a third of the coolant that

631
00:32:20,680 --> 00:32:24,200
Speaker 1: the system has, all right, and then that becomes an

632
00:32:24,240 --> 00:32:27,080
Speaker 1: issue onto itself. So you want to find a shot

633
00:32:27,120 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: that's got a coolant exchange machine and let them do

634
00:32:30,200 --> 00:32:32,720
Speaker 1: a one for one exchange, maybe a little overboard, you know,

635
00:32:32,720 --> 00:32:34,680
Speaker 1: if it takes eight courts, let them run ten through

636
00:32:34,720 --> 00:32:37,560
Speaker 1: it and you'll get all of it out and you'll

637
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,120
Speaker 1: ensure a good vehicle life. All right, kiddo, I gotta go.

638
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm up against the clock. I apologize if you. If

639
00:32:43,080 --> 00:32:44,480
Speaker 1: you need more, give me a call back, Paul. But

640
00:32:44,560 --> 00:32:47,360
Speaker 1: let me get this break before Tom I throw him

641
00:32:47,360 --> 00:32:49,440
Speaker 1: out a whack. So I appreciate you. Thank you, sir.

642
00:32:49,520 --> 00:32:51,400
Speaker 1: I'm running ay and the car doctor. We're back right

643
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:59,479
Speaker 1: after this. Every halway, let me slip away and do it.

644
00:33:00,120 --> 00:33:01,200
Speaker 4: Every had.

645
00:33:04,640 --> 00:33:09,360
Speaker 1: A lot, you know, I was very impressed by the

646
00:33:09,360 --> 00:33:13,680
Speaker 1: calls this hour. You know, the questions. It's good to

647
00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:17,360
Speaker 1: see that you're concerned about fluids. You know, I think fluids,

648
00:33:18,040 --> 00:33:20,640
Speaker 1: all of them. If it's wet, it's a fluid. If

649
00:33:20,640 --> 00:33:23,880
Speaker 1: it's wet, change it at X number of miles. You know,

650
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:26,440
Speaker 1: to see and hear the conversations now, you know, in

651
00:33:26,480 --> 00:33:29,560
Speaker 1: the case of the dex cool comment we just talked

652
00:33:29,560 --> 00:33:33,280
Speaker 1: about with the gentleman from Long Island with his nineteen equinox,

653
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,720
Speaker 1: it's probably longer than a little longer than five years.

654
00:33:36,760 --> 00:33:39,200
Speaker 1: He's creeping up on fire. But you know what, if

655
00:33:39,320 --> 00:33:41,400
Speaker 1: enough is good, more is better, too much is just enough.

656
00:33:41,440 --> 00:33:45,000
Speaker 1: Doing things a little bit early promotes that longevity. And

657
00:33:45,320 --> 00:33:48,120
Speaker 1: I think after a while you operate a vehicle long enough,

658
00:33:48,560 --> 00:33:51,360
Speaker 1: you start to realize that fluids are the lifeblood and

659
00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:54,480
Speaker 1: those little extras you take and doing some early maintenance

660
00:33:54,800 --> 00:33:56,880
Speaker 1: always comes back to help you in the long run

661
00:33:57,640 --> 00:34:01,000
Speaker 1: because it helps promote long life and just safe, and

662
00:34:01,040 --> 00:34:04,520
Speaker 1: you know that's key, all right. I was talking to

663
00:34:05,240 --> 00:34:08,279
Speaker 1: a young woman this week. She was talking to me

664
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:10,080
Speaker 1: about tires and she, you know, do I need to

665
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:11,960
Speaker 1: put tires on my vehicle? And I explained to her

666
00:34:11,960 --> 00:34:14,480
Speaker 1: how to check them, and she emailed me back and

667
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:16,040
Speaker 1: she checked them and she said, you're right. I was

668
00:34:16,080 --> 00:34:17,640
Speaker 1: close to the end of the life of the tires.

669
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:20,080
Speaker 1: And she emailed me the other day to let me

670
00:34:20,160 --> 00:34:22,560
Speaker 1: know that she was on her way to a doctor's

671
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,120
Speaker 1: visit with her two small children. She lives out in

672
00:34:25,160 --> 00:34:28,799
Speaker 1: Western PA. And as she's transitting the roads and I've

673
00:34:28,800 --> 00:34:30,440
Speaker 1: been out to Western Pa. I know what it's like.

674
00:34:30,800 --> 00:34:33,160
Speaker 1: You know, its hill is up and down and so forth.

675
00:34:33,400 --> 00:34:35,480
Speaker 1: She said there was a great comfort in knowing that

676
00:34:35,560 --> 00:34:37,840
Speaker 1: her vehicle was in good working order, but that it

677
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:41,279
Speaker 1: had four really good tires on it, because she realizes,

678
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: you know, how important is to keep her kids safe.

679
00:34:43,480 --> 00:34:47,080
Speaker 1: And that's my point. All the maintenance, all the things

680
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:48,799
Speaker 1: that we do to a vehicle to keep it, to

681
00:34:48,880 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: keep it running, it keeps it safe, It keeps you safe.

682
00:34:52,800 --> 00:34:54,359
Speaker 1: It lets you know that when you get in it,

683
00:34:54,400 --> 00:34:55,960
Speaker 1: to turn the key whether it's at the end of

684
00:34:55,960 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 1: the day, at the end of a late shift to

685
00:34:58,880 --> 00:35:01,200
Speaker 1: go out on an emergency two o'clock in the morning,

686
00:35:01,360 --> 00:35:04,520
Speaker 1: it's going to work. And that is what aller repair

687
00:35:04,600 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: really is about, keeping you safe, keeping you reliable, and

688
00:35:07,800 --> 00:35:09,799
Speaker 1: keeping you on the road till the next time. I'm

689
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:12,840
Speaker 1: Ron and Andy and the cardocker reminding you good mechanics

690
00:35:12,880 --> 00:35:15,200
Speaker 1: aren't expensive, they're priceless.

691
00:35:15,200 --> 00:35:15,560
Speaker 3: See you
