25
00:01:29,600 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 1: am here to talk to you about the passion I

26
00:01:32,680 --> 00:01:35,080
Speaker 1: want to repair. I got to experience it again this week,

27
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,440
Speaker 1: and I kind of forgot that I had it, believe

28
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:39,360
Speaker 1: it or not, because you get so mired down and

29
00:01:39,440 --> 00:01:42,320
Speaker 1: stuck in the muck of repairing cars on a daily

30
00:01:42,360 --> 00:01:44,720
Speaker 1: basis that, um, it sort of sneaks up on you.

31
00:01:45,280 --> 00:01:46,800
Speaker 1: This week, I want to tell you the story about

32
00:01:47,080 --> 00:01:50,200

00:01:50,200 --> 00:01:53,560

34
00:01:54,080 --> 00:01:56,400
Speaker 1: and we are here as always, uh this time period,

35
00:01:56,440 --> 00:01:59,600
Speaker 1: this this port reason of your weekend or if you're podcasting, great, great,

36
00:01:59,640 --> 00:02:01,680
Speaker 1: great to be in touch with you either way. UM

37
00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:04,280
Speaker 1: to talking about cars. You know, what's what's going on

38
00:02:04,320 --> 00:02:07,240
Speaker 1: under the hood, what's bothering you, what's bugging you? What? Um,

39
00:02:07,240 --> 00:02:09,800
Speaker 1: what's keeping you from really enjoying the car even just

40
00:02:09,840 --> 00:02:12,920
Speaker 1: the experience? And um, it's all about getting a car fixed.

41
00:02:12,919 --> 00:02:14,440
Speaker 1: That's what The Car Doctor has been about these past

42
00:02:14,480 --> 00:02:17,960
Speaker 1: twenty five years, and I think about that twenty five

43
00:02:18,040 --> 00:02:20,600
Speaker 1: years on radio and forty three years repairing cars, and

44
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:25,200
Speaker 1: every time I it sneaks around and catches me by

45
00:02:25,280 --> 00:02:29,000
Speaker 1: surprise that that passion of repair just opened my eyes.

46
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:32,560
Speaker 1: It was goosey night here in New Jersey, you know,

47
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:36,239
Speaker 1: the night before Halloween this week, and you know I

48
00:02:36,240 --> 00:02:38,600
Speaker 1: always stick around the shop late that night. So if

49
00:02:38,600 --> 00:02:40,680
Speaker 1: you happened to be a New Jersey next year come Halloween,

50
00:02:40,680 --> 00:02:41,960
Speaker 1: you want to you want to see the car doctor

51
00:02:42,000 --> 00:02:44,880
Speaker 1: at work, although it'll be a Saturday next week next year,

52
00:02:44,919 --> 00:02:46,919
Speaker 1: but you get the idea where they're late. We kind

53
00:02:46,919 --> 00:02:49,000
Speaker 1: of hang around the shop and just mutch to make

54
00:02:49,040 --> 00:02:52,679
Speaker 1: sure the neighborhood kids aren't mischievous, and um, we sort

55
00:02:52,680 --> 00:02:54,079
Speaker 1: of work on cars and there's always something to do.

56
00:02:54,120 --> 00:02:57,800
Speaker 1: There's always planning to catch up on. Danny gave me

57
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,400
Speaker 1: Blackie to work on. If you remember, Blackie was the

58
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,720
Speaker 1: little list of Nadians nine jeep Cherokee that we had

59
00:03:04,760 --> 00:03:06,680
Speaker 1: in the family fleet for the longest time before she

60
00:03:06,720 --> 00:03:09,280
Speaker 1: had a venture six hours away to grad school and

61
00:03:09,280 --> 00:03:10,920
Speaker 1: she had to replace that car with another car, and

62
00:03:10,960 --> 00:03:13,280
Speaker 1: we ended up keeping that sort of on the fringe

63
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,520
Speaker 1: of the neighborhood of the family because we ended up

64
00:03:15,520 --> 00:03:19,840
Speaker 1: selling it to Danny, my mechanics girlfriend's brother, so it

65
00:03:19,919 --> 00:03:23,560
Speaker 1: was kind of in the family twice removed. Blackie broke

66
00:03:23,600 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 1: down this week. The exhaust system fell off, and it

67
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,440
Speaker 1: just brought it to the point that there was just

68
00:03:27,480 --> 00:03:29,080
Speaker 1: nothing left and it had to be repaired. And that

69
00:03:29,160 --> 00:03:32,919
Speaker 1: wasn't the passion. That wasn't the moment. The moment came afterwards.

70
00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:37,400
Speaker 1: And it seems Blackie's now, she's seventeen years old, ninety nine,

71
00:03:37,440 --> 00:03:39,840
Speaker 1: she's creeping up there in age and things are starting

72
00:03:39,840 --> 00:03:42,680
Speaker 1: to rust pretty good. And one of the things that

73
00:03:42,840 --> 00:03:47,440
Speaker 1: rusted was the fuel line inlet valve, where the line

74
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:50,400
Speaker 1: couples and connects from the body on the frame to

75
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,440
Speaker 1: the engine. There's a there's a coupling that goes up

76
00:03:53,440 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: to a plastic nylon tube that then goes to a

77
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:59,080
Speaker 1: stainless steel line that then transfers around the front of

78
00:03:59,080 --> 00:04:01,640
Speaker 1: the engine and clips in to the front injector rail.

79
00:04:03,040 --> 00:04:06,520
Speaker 1: And it's not even available from Chrysler anymore. The part's gone.

80
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:08,520
Speaker 1: And I'm not quite sure what they expect you to do,

81
00:04:08,600 --> 00:04:11,240
Speaker 1: because you start to look start to look at the

82
00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:14,080
Speaker 1: number of jeep Cherokees on the road. Good gosh, they're

83
00:04:14,160 --> 00:04:18,840
Speaker 1: like ants. They're everywhere, and it just it's very frustrating.

84
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: So I found my passion again. It was like I

85
00:04:23,040 --> 00:04:25,240
Speaker 1: looked at it and I got to do it that night,

86
00:04:25,279 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: that Friday night when there was no one around. Danny

87
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: was there. He was working in Bay two on his

88
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:32,920
Speaker 1: own jeep Cherokee, and I was working on this one.

89
00:04:32,960 --> 00:04:36,320
Speaker 1: And we had Adam Um who's aren't Newfound shop puppy

90
00:04:36,680 --> 00:04:38,760
Speaker 1: we call him, working on his Subaru over there in

91
00:04:38,800 --> 00:04:43,280
Speaker 1: Bay three, and it was just nice to stand there

92
00:04:43,960 --> 00:04:47,279
Speaker 1: and solve a problem. No phones, no customers, no day

93
00:04:47,320 --> 00:04:49,520
Speaker 1: to day, just just fix the problem, fix the car

94
00:04:49,560 --> 00:04:53,200
Speaker 1: in front of you. Now, some years ago I had

95
00:04:53,240 --> 00:04:57,119
Speaker 1: purchased what they call a fuel line repair kit, which

96
00:04:57,279 --> 00:05:00,520
Speaker 1: is for nylon tubed fuel lines, which I guess I

97
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:03,200
Speaker 1: knew I was gonna see this repair at some point.

98
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:05,760
Speaker 1: And they give you these little fittings which are similar

99
00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:07,800
Speaker 1: to what the factory uses but a little different, but

100
00:05:07,839 --> 00:05:11,120
Speaker 1: they work and you can piece this together and it's

101
00:05:11,120 --> 00:05:13,360
Speaker 1: this big giant contraption. If you ever want to see

102
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,119
Speaker 1: how this works, go out the YouTube and Google dorm

103
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:18,200
Speaker 1: and fuel line repair kit. It's kind of neat. It's

104
00:05:18,240 --> 00:05:21,560
Speaker 1: got these sandwich type fingers that hold the plastic line

105
00:05:21,600 --> 00:05:23,600
Speaker 1: and it'll it'll hold the fitting in the line and

106
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:26,000
Speaker 1: you get to squeeze it together with these vice script

107
00:05:26,080 --> 00:05:31,360
Speaker 1: type type jaws as clamping device, and it works sort

108
00:05:31,400 --> 00:05:35,359
Speaker 1: of because the problem is that the plastic line is

109
00:05:35,440 --> 00:05:37,280
Speaker 1: so hard. And you know what I'm talking about if

110
00:05:37,279 --> 00:05:39,920
Speaker 1: you've ever done this, it's that hard plastic line that

111
00:05:40,040 --> 00:05:43,240
Speaker 1: just has no flexibility to it. The stuff is just

112
00:05:43,279 --> 00:05:47,360
Speaker 1: about indestructible, which is great, but it's it's kind of

113
00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,640
Speaker 1: like trying to sew up Superman if you ever got

114
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:52,080
Speaker 1: wounded by kryptonite, because you've got no needles strong enough

115
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,960
Speaker 1: to run the stitches. So how do you put together

116
00:05:56,080 --> 00:05:58,200
Speaker 1: plastic and steel line that you have to kind of

117
00:05:58,200 --> 00:06:01,320
Speaker 1: push together like a Chinese hand stuff and get it

118
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: to stay without damaging anything? And I tried everything. I

119
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:09,239
Speaker 1: tried silicone, you know, wet didn't do it, Oil didn't

120
00:06:09,279 --> 00:06:12,520
Speaker 1: do it. Silicone didn't do it. And I said, I'm

121
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:15,960
Speaker 1: going at this wrong. And I took about twenty minutes

122
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:24,360
Speaker 1: by myself and using a small pocket betane torch just

123
00:06:24,680 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: kind of practiced and I just laced over the outside

124
00:06:27,600 --> 00:06:30,200
Speaker 1: of the tube and the first one I melted. I

125
00:06:30,240 --> 00:06:32,320
Speaker 1: admit it, because I had to find the tolerance of

126
00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:34,080
Speaker 1: you know, how far and how hot can I get

127
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,920
Speaker 1: it before it collapses? And I found I found that

128
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:39,800
Speaker 1: the secret wear because everything is a process in order

129
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:42,479
Speaker 1: to repair. You know, there are there are things. It's

130
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: like life. You're gonna find things you just can't do,

131
00:06:46,400 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: and you're gonna get frustrated and you're gonna get angry,

132
00:06:49,680 --> 00:06:51,400
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna find a solution and you're gonna

133
00:06:51,440 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 1: realize how good you really are as a as a

134
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,880
Speaker 1: person to solve that problem. And that's the way life is.

135
00:06:57,080 --> 00:07:01,320
Speaker 1: So goes out to repair and I ended up figuring

136
00:07:01,320 --> 00:07:03,600
Speaker 1: out just kiss it with a little bit of heat

137
00:07:03,720 --> 00:07:07,760
Speaker 1: and real quick hit it with the grips. And it

138
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:10,960
Speaker 1: was therapy. It really was. You couldn't get this kind

139
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:14,440
Speaker 1: of therapy. You could go sit with the best therapist

140
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:16,360
Speaker 1: in the world and for two or fifty dollars an hour.

141
00:07:16,640 --> 00:07:18,680
Speaker 1: You couldn't get this kind of therapy because when you

142
00:07:18,680 --> 00:07:21,600
Speaker 1: were done. When I was done, I called Danny over

143
00:07:21,640 --> 00:07:23,680
Speaker 1: and I said, come here, and he looks at it

144
00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,840
Speaker 1: and he says, man, that thing's the work of art.

145
00:07:26,200 --> 00:07:28,520
Speaker 1: And it really was, because it came off the frame

146
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,560
Speaker 1: rail and it it bent at a ninety it went

147
00:07:31,600 --> 00:07:34,240
Speaker 1: up about two inches, it bent at another ninety degree,

148
00:07:34,720 --> 00:07:36,520
Speaker 1: and then it's sort of bent at a forty five

149
00:07:36,560 --> 00:07:39,680
Speaker 1: going in the opposite contour, and it hooked into the

150
00:07:39,720 --> 00:07:44,600
Speaker 1: stainless steel line and it was it was perfect. More importantly,

151
00:07:45,680 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: I went home really feeling good about what I can do.

152
00:07:50,440 --> 00:07:52,680
Speaker 1: And that probably sounds weird the guy who sits here

153
00:07:52,680 --> 00:07:54,160
Speaker 1: on radio every week and talk to me about your

154
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,680
Speaker 1: car problem and solving your car problem for you. But

155
00:07:56,720 --> 00:07:58,960
Speaker 1: you know what, every once in a while, you just

156
00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:02,760
Speaker 1: you knee to see, Yeah, look at what I can do.

157
00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:05,880
Speaker 1: You can fix something that that that you had to

158
00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,640
Speaker 1: fix because you can't get parts for it anymore. And

159
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:11,120
Speaker 1: that's the passion. That's what makes you feel good. You

160
00:08:11,160 --> 00:08:14,320
Speaker 1: know what. As tired as I've been sometimes in the

161
00:08:14,400 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks because it's been a very physical

162
00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: kind of uh three or four months just doing a

163
00:08:21,360 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: lot of work, I gotta tell you, it rejuvenates you.

164
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:26,000
Speaker 1: And I feel like I could go another forty three

165
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:29,040
Speaker 1: years and I'm ready for it, because it just, you know,

166
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:33,400
Speaker 1: it's to me. It was a miracle. You see that

167
00:08:33,600 --> 00:08:35,960
Speaker 1: sometimes and you wonder where the next miracle is, And

168
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,040
Speaker 1: sometimes it's the simplest things. You don't realize what you're

169
00:08:39,080 --> 00:08:41,280
Speaker 1: here for. I'm here to do that. I'm here to

170
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:43,480
Speaker 1: fix cars. That's what Ronald Ady and the Car Doctor

171
00:08:43,520 --> 00:08:47,320
Speaker 1: is all about. Eight zero nine zero zero. Thanks for

172
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:49,400
Speaker 1: taking this ride with me this weekend and all the

173
00:08:49,400 --> 00:08:51,520
Speaker 1: others that we've been together. If you've been with me

174
00:08:51,559 --> 00:08:54,000
Speaker 1: a while, and if you're new, welcome aboard. UM. I

175
00:08:54,040 --> 00:08:56,240
Speaker 1: promise I will not let you down. I promise that

176
00:08:56,280 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: I will educate you about your car. I promise that

177
00:08:59,320 --> 00:09:01,520
Speaker 1: if you listen and stick around long enough, and if

178
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,200
Speaker 1: you are so inclined to ask the right questions, I

179
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:06,120
Speaker 1: will empower you the next time you go into your

180
00:09:06,120 --> 00:09:08,559
Speaker 1: mechanic to know whether or not you're being ripped off,

181
00:09:08,600 --> 00:09:10,320
Speaker 1: to know whether or not you need what he says

182
00:09:10,360 --> 00:09:12,920
Speaker 1: you need or she says you need, and to really

183
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:14,719
Speaker 1: just talk to him and find out what do you need,

184
00:09:14,720 --> 00:09:17,520
Speaker 1: because that's what the Car Doctor is all about. Coming

185
00:09:17,600 --> 00:09:20,040
Speaker 1: up in our second hour, we're gonna have the long

186
00:09:20,040 --> 00:09:23,560
Speaker 1: awaited held over since the summer interview with Butch Patrick.

187
00:09:23,600 --> 00:09:27,280
Speaker 1: Remember Butch Patrick of the Monster's Little Eddie Monster. Well, oh,

188
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,839
Speaker 1: let's see back around Labor Day. Boy, it seems so

189
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,080
Speaker 1: weird to think Labor Day was two months ago. How

190
00:09:32,080 --> 00:09:35,080
Speaker 1: did that happen? Um? And Thanksgivings kind of like sneaking

191
00:09:35,080 --> 00:09:38,520
Speaker 1: around the corner. We uh um. We were fortunate to

192
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:42,760
Speaker 1: sit down with Butch at the dead Man's Curve Labor

193
00:09:42,840 --> 00:09:46,040
Speaker 1: Day hot Rod Wild weekend party the Wednesday before Labor

194
00:09:46,120 --> 00:09:49,040
Speaker 1: Day and talk to him about drag racing and some

195
00:09:49,080 --> 00:09:51,840
Speaker 1: of his memories of the sixties and cars and just

196
00:09:51,880 --> 00:09:54,720
Speaker 1: an interesting, interesting conversation with an interesting guy. We're gonna

197
00:09:54,760 --> 00:09:57,040
Speaker 1: do that um down around the bottom of the second hour.

198
00:09:57,080 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: But I am here to take your calls AO nine

199
00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:02,040
Speaker 1: zero zero. I know we've got one on the phone.

200
00:10:02,280 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: Let's pull over and take the pause, and this way

201
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: we're not crowded, and when we come back, we'll return

202
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:09,920
Speaker 1: and talk to Jeff up there in Franklin, Maine. Stay tuned,

203
00:10:09,920 --> 00:10:12,040
Speaker 1: I'm nian the car Doctor. We're back right after this.

204
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:37,679
Speaker 1: I was looking in the level light, love light, would

205
00:10:37,720 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 1: my eyes be hid? And he's sight ran from his

206
00:10:42,480 --> 00:10:49,679
Speaker 1: lap began rise, and suddenly, to my surprise, he did

207
00:10:49,720 --> 00:10:55,280
Speaker 1: the months to it was azy. Welcome back. We're nai

208
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:57,920

220
00:11:25,600 --> 00:11:29,960
Speaker 1: Franklin and some problems with the way it runs. Jeff,

221
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:31,520
Speaker 1: Welcome to the Car Doctor, sir. How can I help?

222
00:11:33,679 --> 00:11:37,400
Speaker 1: Thank you, sir? What's going on all about Scar? Earlier

223
00:11:37,400 --> 00:11:40,400
Speaker 1: this year? Just just to go back to work with

224
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:42,520
Speaker 1: coming home the other night, all of a sudden, other

225
00:11:42,559 --> 00:11:47,359
Speaker 1: Blue is losing power and running really bad. Okay, backfire

226
00:11:47,400 --> 00:11:49,760
Speaker 1: on this fire and what what what kind of running bad? Jeff?

227
00:11:50,720 --> 00:11:53,280
Speaker 1: I was kind of like skipping and backfire and I

228
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:55,599
Speaker 1: was really backfire. It was skipping pretty bad and was

229
00:11:55,640 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 1: running really bad no power right right and about one

230
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:03,120
Speaker 1: about two mile that way, and uh and I and

231
00:12:03,320 --> 00:12:04,720
Speaker 1: all of a sudden the blue hole in the in

232
00:12:04,760 --> 00:12:06,880
Speaker 1: the cataalic com murder. And that's what I gotta tell

233
00:12:07,440 --> 00:12:10,120
Speaker 1: mm hmm. Now when you say blew a hole like

234
00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:14,800
Speaker 1: you heard a physical backfire, kaboom and something fell off, Yeah,

235
00:12:14,960 --> 00:12:20,800
Speaker 1: the off in then somehow came out of it and

236
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:23,120
Speaker 1: fell on the floor. And at least it makes it

237
00:12:23,120 --> 00:12:25,360
Speaker 1: easy find on all the pieces. You know, Henry Ford

238
00:12:25,400 --> 00:12:27,079
Speaker 1: once said that he'd give you the car for free,

239
00:12:27,400 --> 00:12:30,679
Speaker 1: because about two years later, h the parts fall off.

240
00:12:30,679 --> 00:12:32,320
Speaker 1: I'm so fast you need a wheelbarrel. And that was

241
00:12:32,320 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: back in so I guess he's not lying. It's still

242
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:37,640
Speaker 1: true today, even on a newer car, even on an

243
00:12:37,679 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: on for it. Uh. You know where I think we've

244
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:41,439
Speaker 1: gotta look here is we've got to think about ignition.

245
00:12:41,480 --> 00:12:43,360
Speaker 1: We've got about think about things that are gonna cause

246
00:12:43,480 --> 00:12:47,960
Speaker 1: a combustion problem or process outside of the normal firing order.

247
00:12:48,000 --> 00:12:50,520
Speaker 1: You know, when you hear a backfire, either intake or exhaust,

248
00:12:50,960 --> 00:12:54,480
Speaker 1: something's happening at the wrong time in relation to spark

249
00:12:54,559 --> 00:12:56,880
Speaker 1: and where it is in relation to valves being open

250
00:12:56,920 --> 00:12:59,760
Speaker 1: and closed. If it created a backfire at the wrong

251
00:12:59,800 --> 00:13:04,320
Speaker 1: moment when there was an exhaust valve open, then it's

252
00:13:04,400 --> 00:13:06,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna transfer itself out and it's gonna be a

253
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,640
Speaker 1: backfire or kaboom in the exhaust system. Um, there are

254
00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 1: other things that can cause exhaust systems to do that,

255
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:14,560
Speaker 1: but let's stay with the basics and the simple stuff first.

256
00:13:15,160 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: So now that the catalytic converter fell off and it's

257
00:13:17,600 --> 00:13:20,520
Speaker 1: got a very loud exhaust system, doesn't run it all yet,

258
00:13:21,760 --> 00:13:23,920
Speaker 1: Oh I got I cut the catalygum off and put

259
00:13:23,960 --> 00:13:27,640
Speaker 1: a piece of pipe in, right, and it runs just

260
00:13:27,840 --> 00:13:31,120
Speaker 1: as battle maybe even more us. Okay, So, so so

261
00:13:31,200 --> 00:13:35,319
Speaker 1: we know now that the catalytic converter failure wasn't the cause.

262
00:13:35,600 --> 00:13:38,840
Speaker 1: It was the damage that was done by the backfire

263
00:13:39,040 --> 00:13:40,960
Speaker 1: or by whatever the failure is that we've got going

264
00:13:41,040 --> 00:13:44,400
Speaker 1: on here. So let's start to cover basics. This is

265
00:13:44,400 --> 00:13:48,200
Speaker 1: an automobile. There's a little bit of computer here, not

266
00:13:48,320 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: nearly what's on newer cars, so we can really really

267
00:13:51,760 --> 00:13:54,920
Speaker 1: rely on our basics. Let's go and look at manifold vacuum.

268
00:13:55,000 --> 00:13:57,240
Speaker 1: Let's go look at cool attempt when it's warmed up.

269
00:13:57,600 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: Let's go look at and verify m mechanical timing and

270
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,520
Speaker 1: by that I mean cam and crank timing and also

271
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:08,280
Speaker 1: distributor timing. This car has a distributor on it. Correct

272
00:14:09,679 --> 00:14:12,800
Speaker 1: distributor comes down off the back side of the cylinder head.

273
00:14:13,600 --> 00:14:17,280
Speaker 1: It's it's it's laying horizontal. Let's let's take off that

274
00:14:17,679 --> 00:14:19,800
Speaker 1: can remember, Okay, if it is, if it's the one

275
00:14:19,840 --> 00:14:22,000
Speaker 1: I'm thinking of, let's take a look inside of their, Jeff,

276
00:14:22,040 --> 00:14:24,720
Speaker 1: because these also have a problem, or had a problem

277
00:14:24,840 --> 00:14:27,040
Speaker 1: when there were more of these where the internal seal

278
00:14:27,080 --> 00:14:29,560
Speaker 1: and the distributor would go bed and you'll take that

279
00:14:29,640 --> 00:14:32,280
Speaker 1: cap off and we'll be soaked with oil and guess what.

280
00:14:32,360 --> 00:14:35,520
Speaker 1: Guess what that'll do. That'll create a backfire problem. Kaboom.

281
00:14:36,280 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: It's starting really hard now where it didn't used to

282
00:14:38,720 --> 00:14:42,560
Speaker 1: start real hard. And when it was acting up, I

283
00:14:42,560 --> 00:14:47,320
Speaker 1: if I, if I applied to the throttle real slowly,

284
00:14:47,440 --> 00:14:49,280
Speaker 1: it would rev up all the way. But if I

285
00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,880
Speaker 1: stomped on it, WO just bog out. Don't do anything.

286
00:14:52,160 --> 00:14:54,520
Speaker 1: So let's let's do this. Do you it's what do

287
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:59,040
Speaker 1: you do for a living, Jeff? Okay, so your hands

288
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,080
Speaker 1: on guy, you you kind of tinker with cars, I

289
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,920
Speaker 1: take it a little bit. So, so do you have

290
00:15:04,000 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: do you have any kind of a spark tester or

291
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,960
Speaker 1: something besides a screw driver and holding it the ground?

292
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:12,240
Speaker 1: Get one, you know what, they're twenty bucks, they're cheap enough.

293
00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:15,640
Speaker 1: And and by that I mean a real spark tester

294
00:15:15,840 --> 00:15:18,960
Speaker 1: is something as simple as a calibrated looks like a

295
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,360
Speaker 1: spark plug. It's a calibrated plug with an alligator clip

296
00:15:22,880 --> 00:15:25,480
Speaker 1: solder to it, and it's it's holding at the ground. Yeah,

297
00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:27,920
Speaker 1: you've seen him. And the idea there is that if

298
00:15:27,920 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: they can jump that gap, then it's strong enough to

299
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,560
Speaker 1: jump the gap inside the cylinder under the pressure and

300
00:15:33,600 --> 00:15:36,920
Speaker 1: compression of the piston coming up. So the first thing

301
00:15:36,920 --> 00:15:40,080
Speaker 1: I want to know is what spark you should see

302
00:15:41,560 --> 00:15:44,520
Speaker 1: vaults out of the ignition coil. If it's if it's

303
00:15:44,560 --> 00:15:47,640
Speaker 1: fift twenty, we've got a weak ignition, and let's start

304
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: to look at that and source that out. If it's

305
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:53,800
Speaker 1: got good spark, move on, let's let's start it up. Um,

306
00:15:54,280 --> 00:15:56,240
Speaker 1: you could use a scan tool here if you've got

307
00:15:56,240 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: that capability. If not, a mechanic could go in and

308
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,320
Speaker 1: pin test things like the map sensor. If I remember right,

309
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: the map sensor on these, UM, it's gonna be opposite.

310
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:06,960
Speaker 1: It should be with the engine running, the map sensor

311
00:16:07,080 --> 00:16:10,040
Speaker 1: or read probably close to four volts four and a

312
00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:12,360
Speaker 1: half olds something like that, sitting there at idle, and

313
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,000
Speaker 1: then as you accelerate you'll see the map sensor drop down.

314
00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:17,280
Speaker 1: We just want to see could the map sensor be

315
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:21,560
Speaker 1: out of calibration? Those were common, the tps, the throttle

316
00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,560
Speaker 1: position sensor should be under a volt all right, and

317
00:16:25,840 --> 00:16:30,520
Speaker 1: cool intempt. Those three are the three main inputs in

318
00:16:30,640 --> 00:16:34,080
Speaker 1: terms of this particular car on what has authority over

319
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,920
Speaker 1: what to make a decision on how the vehicle should run. Uh,

320
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:39,000
Speaker 1: cool attempt should be in the one to voult range

321
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: depending upon temperature. And last, you know you've got any

322
00:16:43,080 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: way to check fuel pressure? No, you know it would

323
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:49,760
Speaker 1: be nice to look at fuel quality, UM, and just

324
00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:52,360
Speaker 1: to see what pressure and volume is. Once you get

325
00:16:52,400 --> 00:16:56,360
Speaker 1: past that, then we get into more more complicated things

326
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,240
Speaker 1: that are probably out of your wheelhouse. UM. These do

327
00:16:59,400 --> 00:17:03,320
Speaker 1: have issue is with distributors and the crank censor which

328
00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:05,680
Speaker 1: is inside it or the camp center which is inside it.

329
00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:09,240
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, I'm sorry being out of sinc causing cross firing,

330
00:17:09,240 --> 00:17:13,119
Speaker 1: which is also what you're getting. So I guess what

331
00:17:13,160 --> 00:17:14,560
Speaker 1: I'm saying to the Jeff is you've got to go

332
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,359
Speaker 1: through some basics and then when you get beyond what

333
00:17:17,400 --> 00:17:19,040
Speaker 1: you're comfortable with, you've got to get it into a

334
00:17:19,040 --> 00:17:21,080
Speaker 1: mechanic and let him pick it up from there. But

335
00:17:21,200 --> 00:17:23,120
Speaker 1: you know, just diagnosed it. It's just you know, it's

336
00:17:23,119 --> 00:17:24,879
Speaker 1: a little bit of an odd duck. It's a Mitsubishi.

337
00:17:24,960 --> 00:17:27,760
Speaker 1: There aren't that many of them left anymore. But underneath

338
00:17:27,840 --> 00:17:29,600
Speaker 1: all of it, it's still a force cylinder engine that

339
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,880
Speaker 1: operate under the same principles as engines operated all the time.

340
00:17:32,960 --> 00:17:35,880
Speaker 1: Let's just think about basics. Sucks, squeeze, pop, blow. I mean,

341
00:17:35,920 --> 00:17:39,880
Speaker 1: it's it's there's a fault in there somewhere. Um as

342
00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:42,919
Speaker 1: far as what's affecting it. You know, the catalytic converter

343
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:45,880
Speaker 1: was damaged, but the catalytic converter wasn't the reason why

344
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:50,720
Speaker 1: it happened. Something else is going on here. Ignition All right, sir, alright,

345
00:17:50,840 --> 00:17:52,119
Speaker 1: you give that a shot, and if you need me

346
00:17:52,200 --> 00:17:54,200
Speaker 1: during the week, you shoot me an email, just send

347
00:17:54,200 --> 00:17:56,120
Speaker 1: me some test results. Just don't you know, don't say

348
00:17:56,160 --> 00:17:58,240
Speaker 1: an email. Hey wrong, we tried spark it still doesn't work.

349
00:17:58,280 --> 00:18:00,760
Speaker 1: What's next, you know, send me some as results. Start

350
00:18:00,800 --> 00:18:03,720
Speaker 1: to think the problem through, and um, either you or

351
00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: your mechanic, and I'm sure it's reparable. It's just a

352
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:09,560
Speaker 1: matter of opening it out, all right, sir, all right,

353
00:18:09,760 --> 00:18:12,560
Speaker 1: you're very welcome, Jeff. Yeah, you know what one of

354
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,600
Speaker 1: the things I've learned, and you know, you face every

355
00:18:15,640 --> 00:18:19,080
Speaker 1: insurmountable task, everything you think you can't fix, and if

356
00:18:19,080 --> 00:18:21,399
Speaker 1: you stop to just break it down into basics, as

357
00:18:21,480 --> 00:18:23,640
Speaker 1: long as you can get the information on it, now,

358
00:18:23,680 --> 00:18:26,000
Speaker 1: you can fix anything. That's that's part of report of repair.

359
00:18:26,040 --> 00:18:28,600
Speaker 1: And I think that's really how you win in cars

360
00:18:28,640 --> 00:18:30,600
Speaker 1: fixing cars, and I's how that's really how you win

361
00:18:30,640 --> 00:18:33,200
Speaker 1: in life. Um, you know, that's why I like about it.

362
00:18:33,240 --> 00:18:35,200
Speaker 1: Ort to repair it sort of teaches you that a

363
00:18:35,359 --> 00:18:38,440
Speaker 1: five five five zero zero. Any of the Car Doctor

364
00:18:38,480 --> 00:18:49,119
Speaker 1: cruise back right after this. The zombis for heavy fom

365
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:56,440
Speaker 1: the just to go. The guest included Ron Andanian Dracula

366
00:18:56,760 --> 00:19:03,440
Speaker 1: and his son. The scene wrong, Oh boy, I have

367
00:19:03,480 --> 00:19:04,880
Speaker 1: to sit Tom right down and talk to a little

368
00:19:04,880 --> 00:19:07,119
Speaker 1: bit about production of this radio show. Hello and welcome

369
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: Ron and in the Car Doctor here zero nine nine

00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,960
Speaker 1: zero zero, He's um. We love Tom. Tom's actually out

371

Speaker 1: on remote. He's short of on remote. Tom is up

372
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:19,040
Speaker 1: at our local New York affiliate, helping man the show

373
00:19:19,080 --> 00:19:21,720
Speaker 1: and just watching over and making sure that all things

374
00:19:21,840 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: run smoothly. And he's away from us today, and we

375

Speaker 1: and his piece of crumb cake we packed in his

377
00:19:28,840 --> 00:19:30,320
Speaker 1: lunch box before we sent him out to play with

378
00:19:30,359 --> 00:19:32,679
Speaker 1: the kids. So, Tom, if you're listening, and I know

379
00:19:32,760 --> 00:19:35,640
Speaker 1: you are, happy Halloween, let's get on over and talk

380
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:38,719
Speaker 1: to Pete Lacrosse, Wisconsin, two thousand eleven Subaru and some

381
00:19:38,840 --> 00:19:41,680
Speaker 1: questions about pistons and e c MS and all kinds

382
00:19:41,720 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 1: of other stuff. Pete, you're out with the car doctor.

383
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:46,640
Speaker 1: How can I help? Hi? Ron, Thanks for taking my call.

384
00:19:46,720 --> 00:19:48,760
Speaker 1: I have listened to you for years, but I never

385
00:19:48,800 --> 00:19:52,000
Speaker 1: thought i'd be calling. Well, I guess I'm I'm glad

386
00:19:52,040 --> 00:19:53,800
Speaker 1: to hear that you are, and I guess I'm I'm

387
00:19:53,840 --> 00:19:56,040
Speaker 1: already I'm going to apologize and say I'm sorry to

388
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,640
Speaker 1: hear you're having trouble, Pete. What can I do for you? Well,

389
00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,680
Speaker 1: I've got a two thousand and eleven Forrester here with

390
00:20:01,440 --> 00:20:04,200
Speaker 1: K and it's been running great. I love the car,

391
00:20:04,560 --> 00:20:11,000
Speaker 1: except there's an accepting here check engine light. And I

392
00:20:11,040 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: took it in and they had it for several days.

393
00:20:13,200 --> 00:20:17,359
Speaker 1: They never really resolved anything. Brought it back and about

394
00:20:17,359 --> 00:20:21,119
Speaker 1: five days later it came on again and they said

395
00:20:21,160 --> 00:20:25,200
Speaker 1: there was some oil bleeding into the piston and short story,

396
00:20:25,600 --> 00:20:28,159
Speaker 1: I need a new short block. Wow. Yeah, And I

397
00:20:28,600 --> 00:20:30,720
Speaker 1: bet was it running rough when it was turning on

398
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:34,240
Speaker 1: the check engine light? But was it like misfiring misfiring

399
00:20:34,280 --> 00:20:36,240
Speaker 1: at the start? Once it warmed up, it was fine

400
00:20:36,320 --> 00:20:38,159
Speaker 1: and the check engine light would throw on. They had

401
00:20:38,160 --> 00:20:43,080
Speaker 1: a really tough time diagnosing it. Yeah, I gotta tell you.

402
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:45,320
Speaker 1: And it's funny. We talked about this in the shop

403
00:20:45,400 --> 00:20:49,720
Speaker 1: more than I realized. I think sometimes we oil consumption

404
00:20:50,280 --> 00:20:53,400
Speaker 1: is a real problem for a lot of manufacturers right now,

405
00:20:53,960 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: and it has been for a while. It's really crazy.

406
00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 1: We we've elevated the automobile to such a high quality

407
00:21:00,119 --> 00:21:04,360
Speaker 1: finished piece, and then since two thousand ten, two thousand

408
00:21:04,320 --> 00:21:08,879
Speaker 1: and eleven, Subaru, Honda, Toyota, some of the name plates

409
00:21:08,960 --> 00:21:10,840
Speaker 1: you know, and you you think, ge they build the

410
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,520
Speaker 1: best in the world, and they're not that good anymore.

411
00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 1: They're not as good as they once were. There. Everything

412
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:20,440
Speaker 1: is kind of becoming equal. It's it's auto repairs really

413
00:21:20,480 --> 00:21:24,040
Speaker 1: becoming like professional sports with with all the trade programs

414
00:21:24,040 --> 00:21:26,879
Speaker 1: and the cap and salary cap and all that. Everything

415
00:21:26,960 --> 00:21:30,520
Speaker 1: is kind of getting balanced out. And Subaru among them,

416
00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: they're playing this game with oil control rings and the

417
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:38,600
Speaker 1: tension on their oil rings in there. They're creating problems

418
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,679
Speaker 1: and they're all trying to squeeze the last tenth of

419
00:21:41,680 --> 00:21:44,240
Speaker 1: a gallon of fuel out of the MPG rating, and

420
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,960
Speaker 1: it's it's creating this particular problem. And you know, I

421
00:21:48,960 --> 00:21:51,119
Speaker 1: would have left well enough alone. The car was working,

422
00:21:51,359 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 1: and I'm not sure why they're going to this. You know,

423
00:21:54,040 --> 00:21:56,080
Speaker 1: General Motors had a problem a couple of years back

424
00:21:56,119 --> 00:21:59,439
Speaker 1: on equinoxes on their four cylinders that with g d

425
00:21:59,520 --> 00:22:02,200
Speaker 1: I with s Lean direct injection. They were playing around

426
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:05,040
Speaker 1: with the pressure that the system operated at on the

427
00:22:05,040 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: twelve and the thirteen equinoxes, and they were pushing the

428
00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,159
Speaker 1: piston so hard on the cylinder they were actually wearing

429
00:22:10,160 --> 00:22:12,480
Speaker 1: out the ring prematurely and shoving the piston all the

430
00:22:12,480 --> 00:22:13,879
Speaker 1: way over to the side and allowing the oil to

431
00:22:13,920 --> 00:22:16,560
Speaker 1: sneak up past it. And I mean, just you know,

432
00:22:16,560 --> 00:22:18,800
Speaker 1: the technology is getting to the point where they're splitting

433
00:22:18,840 --> 00:22:23,719
Speaker 1: hairs and you the consumer are suffering for it, you know,

434
00:22:24,320 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 1: And here we go, So they're gonna put a short

435
00:22:26,400 --> 00:22:29,200
Speaker 1: block in it. And how long is that gonna take? Pete? Well,

436
00:22:29,200 --> 00:22:31,359
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get the car back sometime next week. My

437
00:22:31,480 --> 00:22:36,480
Speaker 1: question is can I trust this new engine now? Definite?

438
00:22:36,520 --> 00:22:40,800
Speaker 1: Maybe you know it's you don't know. And the reason

439
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: I say that is because the Subaru is getting to

440
00:22:45,000 --> 00:22:48,080
Speaker 1: be a real common failure. I've got four right now

441
00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:51,520
Speaker 1: with customers at the shop that they've taken their subs in,

442
00:22:51,800 --> 00:22:55,840
Speaker 1: two Subaru for warranty repair and extension for this problem

443
00:22:55,840 --> 00:22:58,520
Speaker 1: with oil consumption. And I've got to tell you three

444
00:22:58,520 --> 00:23:01,520
Speaker 1: out of the four are having issues. Two of them

445
00:23:01,520 --> 00:23:04,359
Speaker 1: are having problems with continued oil consumption. The other one

446
00:23:04,440 --> 00:23:06,359
Speaker 1: is having a problem with how the engine runs. Now,

447
00:23:06,400 --> 00:23:09,560
Speaker 1: that could just be that the dealership that didn't, you know,

448
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:12,119
Speaker 1: put the kid with the shiny new toolbox eighteen years old.

449
00:23:12,160 --> 00:23:14,320
Speaker 1: Just that a Lincoln tech working on the car and

450
00:23:14,320 --> 00:23:15,920
Speaker 1: it doesn't know anything about fixing it. That's a whole

451
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: another story. But you know, it's still three out of

452
00:23:19,760 --> 00:23:22,400
Speaker 1: the four. That's not a great track record the ones

453
00:23:22,440 --> 00:23:26,520
Speaker 1: I'm gonna touch with or having problems. So you know,

454
00:23:26,560 --> 00:23:29,240
Speaker 1: it's just something to be aware of and you know,

455
00:23:29,359 --> 00:23:31,800
Speaker 1: just be mindful. You know. I think if you google this,

456
00:23:31,840 --> 00:23:35,000
Speaker 1: and I'm sure you have, you'll you'll see this all

457
00:23:35,040 --> 00:23:38,199
Speaker 1: over the internet. UM people are talking about the the

458
00:23:38,240 --> 00:23:41,439
Speaker 1: oil consumption problems that they're having. So UM, let me

459
00:23:41,440 --> 00:23:42,960
Speaker 1: just give you a bulletin number real quick to p

460
00:23:43,119 --> 00:23:45,520
Speaker 1: before I let you go. If you want to see this,

461
00:23:45,560 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: take a look at bulletin oh two dash one, seven

462
00:23:49,320 --> 00:23:52,360
Speaker 1: dash thirteen R and there's there's probably four different versions

463
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:55,960
Speaker 1: of that. It's an interesting read. I remember when I

464
00:23:55,960 --> 00:23:59,640
Speaker 1: read it. It It talks about UM problems with their oil

465
00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:02,560
Speaker 1: control a ring and how they're making changes to the

466
00:24:02,600 --> 00:24:06,040
Speaker 1: oil control piston ring and what they're doing different and

467
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:08,320
Speaker 1: how they're doing it different and why they're doing it different,

468
00:24:08,320 --> 00:24:11,160
Speaker 1: and it's just, um, it's a four teen page bulletin

469
00:24:11,200 --> 00:24:12,480
Speaker 1: that just kind of makes the hair stand up on

470
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:14,840
Speaker 1: the back of your neck and saying how complicated do

471
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:17,800
Speaker 1: we make something that once worked? And uh and why?

472
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:21,280
Speaker 1: So just good information to just uh, you know, take

473
00:24:21,320 --> 00:24:23,119
Speaker 1: in and just make a decision. Do you want to

474
00:24:23,160 --> 00:24:25,960
Speaker 1: replace the car? Not? Maybe that'll help you. Alright, sir,

475
00:24:26,840 --> 00:24:31,040
Speaker 1: what a what an ill? Yeah? Who would have thought it? Well,

476
00:24:31,080 --> 00:24:32,800
Speaker 1: you know, listen, who would have thought some of the

477
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:35,280
Speaker 1: things we've seen in our lifetimes, and uh, you know,

478
00:24:35,359 --> 00:24:36,720
Speaker 1: we say it all the time. We look at some

479
00:24:36,760 --> 00:24:39,560
Speaker 1: of the simplest things that they once did out of automobiles,

480
00:24:40,200 --> 00:24:44,080
Speaker 1: and they've overcomplicated it. They've they've they've complicated cars to

481
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:49,080
Speaker 1: the point that nothing works anymore, to the point that

482
00:24:49,160 --> 00:24:53,280
Speaker 1: you're sitting there and you're longing for Heck, I'm I'm

483
00:24:53,320 --> 00:24:56,080
Speaker 1: so thrilled to drive a nineties seven Forward Ranger. I

484
00:24:56,080 --> 00:24:58,119
Speaker 1: thought of this the other day, real quick story. I

485
00:24:58,240 --> 00:25:00,919
Speaker 1: drive a nineties seven forward Range. Out of all the cars,

486
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,199
Speaker 1: if I can't take the hot rot out, I like

487
00:25:03,320 --> 00:25:06,119
Speaker 1: my Ranger the best. It's a nineties seven. It's got

488
00:25:06,119 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: two eight thousand miles on it. Now, if it breaks,

489
00:25:09,680 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: there's seven pieces to it. You know, it's it's just

490
00:25:13,040 --> 00:25:15,960
Speaker 1: they're running out of parts for it, which is another problem.

491
00:25:16,040 --> 00:25:19,800
Speaker 1: But you look at a modern car. If the car

492
00:25:19,880 --> 00:25:23,360
Speaker 1: shuts off, it's it's a process just to figure out

493
00:25:23,359 --> 00:25:25,480
Speaker 1: which scan tool to plug in and look at which

494
00:25:25,520 --> 00:25:28,159
Speaker 1: module to go, which system to decide where do you

495
00:25:28,160 --> 00:25:32,600
Speaker 1: want to begin to diagnose the fault? And you know

496
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:36,080
Speaker 1: it's listen, on and on and on. Pete. I enjoyed

497
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:37,520
Speaker 1: the call, sir. I wish you the best, and if

498
00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:38,880
Speaker 1: I can help you in any way, shape or form,

499
00:25:38,920 --> 00:25:40,600
Speaker 1: you give me another call. You email me Roun at

500
00:25:40,600 --> 00:25:43,000
Speaker 1: Car Doctor Show dot com and I'll do what I

501
00:25:43,040 --> 00:25:46,920
Speaker 1: can for you. All right, you take good care. Let's

502
00:25:46,920 --> 00:25:49,400
Speaker 1: get on over and talk to Scott in New Hampshire.

503
00:25:49,440 --> 00:25:52,320
Speaker 1: Some questions, uh about pul Star spark plugs and launch

504
00:25:52,320 --> 00:25:54,119
Speaker 1: scan tool. Scott, Welcome to the Car Doctor, sir. How

505
00:25:54,119 --> 00:25:56,800
Speaker 1: can I help? I need a scan to run? That's

506
00:25:56,800 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: why calls health health help. I just went to an

507
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:04,840
Speaker 1: issue with plugs and coils last week and uh, I

508
00:26:04,920 --> 00:26:09,240
Speaker 1: get you a multiple missfire or uh, he'll designate a

509
00:26:09,359 --> 00:26:11,840
Speaker 1: plug is in this fire, which at that particular point

510
00:26:11,840 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: I could understand why, but I ended up just swapping

511
00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:17,440
Speaker 1: the coils between three and five. This isn't the two

512
00:26:17,480 --> 00:26:20,640
Speaker 1: thousand twelve jeep Branglo and I still had mis fire

513
00:26:20,640 --> 00:26:23,840
Speaker 1: and number five I had just put those spot plugs in. Yeah,

514
00:26:23,880 --> 00:26:26,280
Speaker 1: you're just done, you know, I'd heard about this. Harry

515
00:26:26,320 --> 00:26:28,280
Speaker 1: explained this to mean you're the you're the second or

516
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,520
Speaker 1: third person i've I've heard about this, but I've also

517
00:26:30,640 --> 00:26:32,960
Speaker 1: heard that their customer service is really very good, and

518
00:26:32,960 --> 00:26:35,399
Speaker 1: they were they were great about getting replacements out to you,

519
00:26:36,000 --> 00:26:39,840
Speaker 1: and the well serve it. They couldn't bend over back

520
00:26:39,880 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: was crooked. I had that one replacement spot plug in

521
00:26:42,720 --> 00:26:45,920
Speaker 1: a day, two days, and then it happened in my

522
00:26:46,000 --> 00:26:49,119
Speaker 1: daughter's Jeep two thousand to Liberty three point seven, the

523
00:26:49,240 --> 00:26:52,639
Speaker 1: six multiple missfires. I just put those plugs in not

524
00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: a thousand miles ago. Yeah, and that's it's unfortunate, but

525
00:26:56,880 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: here we go the price of technology right exactly. But

526
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:02,920
Speaker 1: what I want to know is what type of skin

527
00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:07,240
Speaker 1: too you would recommend. And I'm gonna say within the

528
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:10,159
Speaker 1: five hundred to a thousand dollar range that will do

529
00:27:10,240 --> 00:27:13,159
Speaker 1: just about every magic thing that you do. That that

530
00:27:13,240 --> 00:27:17,000
Speaker 1: there's a broad question. Yeah, that's a that's a tough call.

531
00:27:17,600 --> 00:27:20,960
Speaker 1: Um Uh, it really is, Scott. I've got to tell you.

532
00:27:21,359 --> 00:27:24,439
Speaker 1: In that in that price range, I think where I

533
00:27:24,440 --> 00:27:27,240
Speaker 1: would look, Um, I would look at Launch and I

534
00:27:27,240 --> 00:27:30,040
Speaker 1: would look at a c RP two twenty nine. That

535
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:33,760
Speaker 1: would be c RP to nine and then and then

536
00:27:33,800 --> 00:27:36,200
Speaker 1: work my way up from there. You know, the nice

537
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:39,120
Speaker 1: thing about that tool is, first of all, it's touch screen.

538
00:27:39,280 --> 00:27:42,879
Speaker 1: It's very compact, um it updates great. One of the

539
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:45,480
Speaker 1: nicest things I like about the Launch line Launch family

540
00:27:45,520 --> 00:27:47,280
Speaker 1: of tools, and I haven't found one yet that doesn't

541
00:27:47,320 --> 00:27:50,760
Speaker 1: do it this way is the update is mindless. It's

542
00:27:50,840 --> 00:27:52,800
Speaker 1: you turn it on, you check for updates. Yeah, it

543
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:54,720
Speaker 1: needs to be an update. Didn't hit the button and

544
00:27:54,800 --> 00:27:58,359
Speaker 1: just walk away. If you're connected to the internet wireless,

545
00:27:58,160 --> 00:28:02,000
Speaker 1: it's there now. You know. Just this week, we were

546
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Speaker 1: having conversation about we're we're also looking at some of

547
00:28:06,040 --> 00:28:09,360
Speaker 1: the other competitors scan tools, and Launch seems to be

548
00:28:10,280 --> 00:28:13,520
Speaker 1: there's probably two or three that are wireless in terms

549
00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:16,399
Speaker 1: of the device that plugs into the connector into the

550
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: dash and the actual body of the tool, whereas some

551
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,840
Speaker 1: of the competition is still hardwired. And you know, it

552
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:25,760
Speaker 1: was a conversation about speed and and and how fast

553
00:28:25,800 --> 00:28:28,560
Speaker 1: it updates. I gotta tell you, I'm still running some

554
00:28:28,600 --> 00:28:30,560
Speaker 1: tests and I don't want to get too deep into it,

555
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:32,840
Speaker 1: but I'm doing sort of a scan tool shootout in

556
00:28:32,880 --> 00:28:36,080
Speaker 1: the shop. I think the Launch perks along really well,

557
00:28:36,119 --> 00:28:38,280
Speaker 1: and I have no problems with how fast it updates,

558
00:28:38,800 --> 00:28:41,880
Speaker 1: and it just connects and that ability to stand outside

559
00:28:41,920 --> 00:28:44,760
Speaker 1: the car while you're standing there pushing buttons and you know, listen,

560
00:28:44,760 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: when you get out of cars every when you work

561
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,560
Speaker 1: on cars every day, to get in and out of

562
00:28:48,600 --> 00:28:50,560
Speaker 1: that car every day, you know, every you know how

563
00:28:50,560 --> 00:28:52,160
Speaker 1: many cars I get in and out of To be

564
00:28:52,200 --> 00:28:55,720
Speaker 1: able to reach in, plug it in and use the

565
00:28:55,760 --> 00:28:58,200
Speaker 1: scan tool, it just makes it a whole lot easier.

566
00:28:58,240 --> 00:29:00,520
Speaker 1: So I like that. I like that in the launch

567
00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:03,120
Speaker 1: uh Um scan Tool family. So take a look at

568
00:29:03,120 --> 00:29:05,640
Speaker 1: the CRP two nine and then take a look at

569
00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: the pad too. Um. Probably out of your price range,

570
00:29:09,440 --> 00:29:13,280
Speaker 1: but definitely a nice tool, definitely something to look at.

571
00:29:13,320 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: And that's their latest and greatest, the X four I

572
00:29:16,360 --> 00:29:18,360
Speaker 1: think it's X four thirty one Pad Tour. It might

573
00:29:18,400 --> 00:29:20,640
Speaker 1: just be referred to as the PAD two when you

574
00:29:20,680 --> 00:29:24,440
Speaker 1: can find more at their website launch Tech USA dot com.

575
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:27,280
Speaker 1: Appreciate the call, Scott, and good luck with those poll stars.

576
00:29:27,320 --> 00:29:28,640
Speaker 1: If I can do anything else for you, you give

Speaker 1: car doctor. How can I help? Thank you for taking

588
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:34,440
Speaker 1: my call. I'm I have some pretty bad regular tires

589
00:30:34,480 --> 00:30:38,280
Speaker 1: on the car, and being that winter is on its way,

590
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: I'm putting some new thanks to you, General tires Um

591
00:30:45,480 --> 00:30:50,240
Speaker 1: Arctic Ultimate. But I've never had a computer righted computer

592
00:30:50,680 --> 00:30:53,040
Speaker 1: car before, and I've only had the car for a

593
00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: year come this November. So should I buy uh some

594
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:05,160
Speaker 1: brand new censor stems on it? Well, let's yeah, and

595
00:31:05,160 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: you're talking about you're talking about you're gonna put the

596
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:09,520
Speaker 1: General Tire Ultimate x RT forty three on the car.

597
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,680
Speaker 1: Great choice. You'll enjoy them a lot, especially for those

598
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:15,880
Speaker 1: main winters and especially when the snow melts. You'll enjoy

599
00:31:15,920 --> 00:31:17,760
Speaker 1: them even more driving them on a on a smooth,

600
00:31:17,800 --> 00:31:22,240
Speaker 1: steady road. Um, you've got t PMS sensors there, which

601
00:31:22,440 --> 00:31:26,160
Speaker 1: is the electronic transmitter if you will, that sits inside

602
00:31:26,160 --> 00:31:29,880
Speaker 1: of a tire today that registers the amount of air

603
00:31:29,920 --> 00:31:32,360
Speaker 1: pressure and sends it out to a t PMS retire

604
00:31:32,440 --> 00:31:38,360
Speaker 1: Pressure Monitoring system module. When you change tires, you don't

605
00:31:38,440 --> 00:31:42,760
Speaker 1: need to change the sensor. But all right, there's a

606
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,760
Speaker 1: butt the fact that this car is in Maine in

607
00:31:45,800 --> 00:31:48,200
Speaker 1: an area where there is you know, heavy salt used

608
00:31:48,240 --> 00:31:50,360
Speaker 1: for bad for bad roads, for the snow and the

609
00:31:50,400 --> 00:31:54,720
Speaker 1: ice corrosion becomes a factor. So it is it is

610
00:31:54,800 --> 00:31:59,680
Speaker 1: becoming a very good idea as a service that when

611
00:31:59,720 --> 00:32:04,520
Speaker 1: you change the tires, not the sensor, but the rubber

612
00:32:04,760 --> 00:32:10,040
Speaker 1: seal kit that is around the stem there is they

613
00:32:10,080 --> 00:32:15,000
Speaker 1: call it a TPMs stem repair or or a TPMs

614
00:32:15,200 --> 00:32:20,200
Speaker 1: seal kit, change those seals because those seals will corrode.

615
00:32:20,360 --> 00:32:25,240
Speaker 1: Especially is in an aluminum wheel dno or a steel wheel, Yeah,

616
00:32:25,280 --> 00:32:27,760
Speaker 1: I think it's. I think it's aluminum too. And the

617
00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:31,360
Speaker 1: aluminium has a very caustic reaction with the with the

618
00:32:31,400 --> 00:32:33,520
Speaker 1: snow and the ice melt being used on the road's

619
00:32:33,520 --> 00:32:36,600
Speaker 1: all over the country today and it will actually grind

620
00:32:36,680 --> 00:32:39,760
Speaker 1: in and it'll cause stem leaks, and it's it's just

621
00:32:39,840 --> 00:32:42,600
Speaker 1: not worth the aggravation. In the old days, every time

622
00:32:42,600 --> 00:32:46,480
Speaker 1: we did tires, we always change of al stem. So

623
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,560
Speaker 1: now we're just upgrading it a little bit because of

624
00:32:48,600 --> 00:32:52,560
Speaker 1: the electronics. When we change the tire, we change the

625
00:32:52,600 --> 00:32:58,200
Speaker 1: tire pressure monitoring STEM kit itself. Especially on an older vehicle,

626
00:32:58,320 --> 00:33:00,760
Speaker 1: especially on a vehicle and a high as salt area,

627
00:33:00,880 --> 00:33:03,440
Speaker 1: especially on a vehicle with aluminum wheels, it's a great

628
00:33:03,480 --> 00:33:06,560
Speaker 1: idea to avoid the comeback and the problem that uh

629
00:33:06,920 --> 00:33:09,560
Speaker 1: that that gives you an issue. So by all means, Katherine,

630
00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:12,480
Speaker 1: you do that. Enjoy those general or Ultimate tires and

631

650
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:29,160
Speaker 1: all you guys about what's going on with cars. Let's

651
00:34:29,160 --> 00:34:31,760
Speaker 1: get on and talk to Charles Buckfield Main two thousand

652
00:34:31,800 --> 00:34:34,680
Speaker 1: eleven Toyota and some questions about tires. Charles around with

653
00:34:34,719 --> 00:34:37,480
Speaker 1: the car Doctor, Sir, how can I help rap four

654
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:42,360
Speaker 1: V six all wheel drive? Wait to get the tires

655
00:34:42,719 --> 00:34:45,080
Speaker 1: swapped over the other day they get nine thousand on

656
00:34:45,160 --> 00:34:47,439
Speaker 1: the set and they told me that the front ones

657
00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,080
Speaker 1: wouldn't match up with the rear. That they had to

658
00:34:50,160 --> 00:34:54,319
Speaker 1: buy tie us, which is common in the tie trade.

659
00:34:54,320 --> 00:34:57,239
Speaker 1: They want to sell a couple of tires. Uh, how

660
00:34:57,880 --> 00:35:01,359
Speaker 1: that's the first question. How how critical is that well?

661
00:35:01,560 --> 00:35:05,400
Speaker 1: Tire diameter is everything on an all wheel drive vehicle, Charles,

662
00:35:05,800 --> 00:35:09,440
Speaker 1: The industry says there can't be more than two thirty

663
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:14,920
Speaker 1: seconds of tread depth difference between a tire before it

664
00:35:14,960 --> 00:35:17,600
Speaker 1: can become an issue. And even to the point that

665
00:35:18,239 --> 00:35:20,960
Speaker 1: mixing and matching. If you put two of brand A

666
00:35:21,239 --> 00:35:24,720
Speaker 1: and two of Brand B brand new tires same size

667
00:35:24,880 --> 00:35:29,239
Speaker 1: on a vehicle, there is enough variation between some manufacturers

668
00:35:29,840 --> 00:35:33,160
Speaker 1: on tire diameter that it can affect a cause issues

669
00:35:33,200 --> 00:35:36,680
Speaker 1: with all wheel drive operation. So bottom line, if the

670
00:35:36,760 --> 00:35:39,680
Speaker 1: tires aren't being rotated enough, and if they are and

671
00:35:39,719 --> 00:35:42,080
Speaker 1: there's still aware problem, then there's something else going on.

672
00:35:42,200 --> 00:35:44,960
Speaker 1: Perhaps we've got something uh in the way of alignment

673
00:35:45,040 --> 00:35:48,200
Speaker 1: or something else with this vehicle. But bottom line, if

674
00:35:48,239 --> 00:35:50,880
Speaker 1: the tread depth isn't matching and it's not where it's

675
00:35:50,880 --> 00:35:53,400
Speaker 1: supposed to be, then yeah, you need four tires. And

676
00:35:53,480 --> 00:35:55,600
Speaker 1: we want to say you can find more information if

677
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:57,640
Speaker 1: you want to get out to the General Tire website

678
00:35:57,880 --> 00:35:59,839
Speaker 1: and see what's going on their General Tire dot Com.

679
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,600
Speaker 1: Wanting any of the Car Doctor until the next time.

680
00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:04,400
Speaker 1: Good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. See you
