1
00:00:00,280 --> 00:00:02,880
Speaker 1: Ron Ananian, I guess the warranty. We really have to

2
00:00:02,920 --> 00:00:06,880
Speaker 1: acknowledge that a warranty, it varies by the situation how

3
00:00:06,920 --> 00:00:09,159
Speaker 1: effective it's going to be. And a warranty is a

4
00:00:09,200 --> 00:00:11,200
Speaker 1: good thing to have in your back pocket because it

5
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:14,480
Speaker 1: can help the pray the cost, but it doesn't guarantee

6
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:22,520
Speaker 1: instant success. Just taking in the draft, the car Doctor,

7
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:24,919
Speaker 1: you know the first thing I do on every repair.

8
00:00:25,000 --> 00:00:27,320
Speaker 1: Now it just seems like it's getting more and more,

9
00:00:27,360 --> 00:00:29,400
Speaker 1: and you know, sometimes I don't do it because I

10
00:00:29,400 --> 00:00:31,400
Speaker 1: don't need to hear. I'll come up with a reason

11
00:00:31,400 --> 00:00:32,760
Speaker 1: why I don't need to scan it, and I get

12
00:00:32,760 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: my butt kicked the first ten minutes. Welcome to the

13
00:00:35,240 --> 00:00:38,520
Speaker 1: radio home of ron an Anian, the Car Doctor, since

14
00:00:39,800 --> 00:00:43,000
Speaker 1: this is where car owners the world overturned to for

15
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: their definitive opinion on automotive repair. If your mechanics giving

16
00:00:47,440 --> 00:00:50,319
Speaker 1: you a busy signal, pick up the phone and call in.

17
00:00:50,760 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 1: The garage doors are open, but I am here to

18
00:00:53,360 --> 00:01:00,800
Speaker 1: take your calls. At eight five and now he is running.

19
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:03,800
Speaker 1: You know, I always tell you that auto repair is

20
00:01:03,840 --> 00:01:06,240
Speaker 1: like dating. Right, We're gonna get to meet each other

21
00:01:06,280 --> 00:01:08,280
Speaker 1: and talk to each other, and you know, do we

22
00:01:08,319 --> 00:01:10,240
Speaker 1: get along. Is it just are we just gonna make

23
00:01:10,280 --> 00:01:13,120
Speaker 1: it a business transaction? Which I guess that's kind of

24
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,800
Speaker 1: dating too, But that's you know, money for dating is

25
00:01:15,840 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 1: sort of another conversation, another kind of show um in

26
00:01:19,520 --> 00:01:24,080
Speaker 1: order repair it is. It is business, but there's there's

27
00:01:24,120 --> 00:01:28,760
Speaker 1: a personal side to it too. And you know, there's

28
00:01:28,800 --> 00:01:31,560
Speaker 1: something I call the laws of attraction, And what does

29
00:01:31,600 --> 00:01:34,080
Speaker 1: a repair shop want? Whether it's a dealer or an

30
00:01:34,080 --> 00:01:37,279
Speaker 1: independent or a tire store or whatever they are, there's

31
00:01:37,360 --> 00:01:40,560
Speaker 1: you know, not everybody's everybody's fit, right, It's it's so

32
00:01:40,720 --> 00:01:42,679
Speaker 1: goes in life, so goes in business. I mean, it's

33
00:01:42,720 --> 00:01:46,560
Speaker 1: just the way it works. And I wonder if or

34
00:01:46,600 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: I wonder how many of you are really aware of

35
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,600
Speaker 1: the laws of attraction and believe it or not, they

36
00:01:51,640 --> 00:01:53,720
Speaker 1: really apply to you in some way, shape or form.

37
00:01:54,000 --> 00:01:58,280
Speaker 1: If if you're not getting satisfaction at the relationship you

38
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: have with a repair shop, you've got to look at that.

39
00:02:00,560 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: You've got to say, you know, is it them? Is

40
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,200
Speaker 1: it you? Is it the approach? It's it's it's just

41
00:02:05,320 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: like dating, right, It's just like being married. You know,

42
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,160
Speaker 1: are you getting the results you want? Are you? Are

43
00:02:10,200 --> 00:02:12,200
Speaker 1: you not getting where you are in life, where you

44
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:13,919
Speaker 1: want to be in life because of what you're doing

45
00:02:13,960 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: in life? Is it? It's The phone rang about a

46
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:21,799
Speaker 1: week ago, and I think I told you the first

47
00:02:21,840 --> 00:02:23,520
Speaker 1: half of this story. I didn't tell you the follow up.

48
00:02:23,520 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: The phone rang about a week ten days ago at

49
00:02:25,240 --> 00:02:27,799
Speaker 1: the shop and it was the boyfriend of the girlfriend

50
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:31,720
Speaker 1: who was pregnant, whose car had a dead battery because

51
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,120
Speaker 1: she had left the trunk open because the trunk was broken,

52
00:02:34,440 --> 00:02:36,680
Speaker 1: and they couldn't get it started, and he called on

53
00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,840
Speaker 1: a He called on a Wednesday, midweek something I forget what,

54
00:02:39,919 --> 00:02:42,560
Speaker 1: and the pregnant girlfriend was going to go to the

55
00:02:42,600 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: doctor the next day for the baby. She's eight and

00:02:44,520 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: a half months pregnant, and um, she needed to get

57
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: to the baby doctor the next day, and you know,

58
00:02:48,919 --> 00:02:50,360
Speaker 1: could I go down and jump start at the car?

59
00:02:50,360 --> 00:02:53,360
Speaker 1: And I said, gee, I can't them. I'm I'm tied up.

60
00:02:53,400 --> 00:02:55,600
Speaker 1: And I was alone that day, Danny was on vacation

61
00:02:55,600 --> 00:02:57,040
Speaker 1: and there was no one else around, and I said,

62
00:02:57,080 --> 00:02:58,680
Speaker 1: you know, you'll have to get a jump starter triple

63
00:02:58,760 --> 00:03:00,720
Speaker 1: A and bring it down to the shop. And she

64
00:03:00,760 --> 00:03:02,079
Speaker 1: brought it down to the shop and I think I

65
00:03:02,360 --> 00:03:04,280
Speaker 1: think I told you the story last week where she

66
00:03:04,360 --> 00:03:06,560
Speaker 1: came down and I, you know, I fiddled around with

67
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:08,480
Speaker 1: the trunk, lads, I got the trunk to close, and

68
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:12,520
Speaker 1: the latch stayed closed, and you know, I told her

69
00:03:12,520 --> 00:03:14,320
Speaker 1: to come back on Monday and we'll we'll kind of

70
00:03:14,360 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: go through the drill. And when I went to put

71
00:03:18,160 --> 00:03:21,360
Speaker 1: her in the system at the shop, and this is

72
00:03:21,400 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: my first time I'm meeting this person. I don't even

73
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,600
Speaker 1: really know her name. Uh, you know, is it just

74
00:03:26,720 --> 00:03:29,040
Speaker 1: never even got to that. And when I went to

75
00:03:29,120 --> 00:03:32,160
Speaker 1: put her vehicle license plate into the system so I

76
00:03:32,160 --> 00:03:34,320
Speaker 1: could bring up the vent and all the vehicle particulars,

77
00:03:35,320 --> 00:03:38,920
Speaker 1: the vehicle didn't come up. Now understand what happens is

78
00:03:38,920 --> 00:03:42,600
Speaker 1: the software we use, uh courtesy of Mitchell one Mitchell

79
00:03:42,640 --> 00:03:46,720
Speaker 1: one dot com. Is is there, you know, repair software

80
00:03:46,800 --> 00:03:50,760
Speaker 1: that will dial out to the New Jersey Motor Vehicle

81
00:03:50,840 --> 00:03:53,240
Speaker 1: database or whatever state the vehicles registered in. And it

82
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:56,320
Speaker 1: it didn't come up with this car this this oh

83
00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,800
Speaker 1: three or oh six months, I forget, the exact year

84
00:03:58,880 --> 00:04:02,520
Speaker 1: didn't exist. And I looked at this young lady and

85
00:04:02,520 --> 00:04:04,200
Speaker 1: I said, geez, you know, is that the right plate

86
00:04:04,240 --> 00:04:06,560
Speaker 1: on the car? I said, it doesn't read show registration

87
00:04:06,600 --> 00:04:08,760
Speaker 1: in New Jersey. And she says, oh, it's not registered.

88
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,880
Speaker 1: What do you mean it's not registered? You're you're you're

89
00:04:12,960 --> 00:04:15,320
Speaker 1: driving this car. She said, yeah, I haven't had time

90
00:04:15,360 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: to get the motor vehicle yet. Well, yeah, but the

91
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:20,200
Speaker 1: car was due for registration by sticker in March. It's

92
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: this is September. Yeah, I've been busy. Of course, the

93
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:25,719
Speaker 1: wise guy we wanted to say, well, I could see

94
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:31,880
Speaker 1: that you're pregnant, but you know, I just is it insured. No,

95
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 1: it's not ensured either. I haven't had a chance to

96
00:04:33,400 --> 00:04:36,440
Speaker 1: call the insurance company. So I said, let me understand this.

97
00:04:36,520 --> 00:04:39,840
Speaker 1: You're you're driving around an unregistered, uninsured vehicle eight and

98
00:04:39,880 --> 00:04:42,599
Speaker 1: a half months pregnant, in the state of New Jersey.

99
00:04:42,680 --> 00:04:46,599
Speaker 1: And that's okay. She goes, yeah, I'll be all right. Okay.

100
00:04:47,279 --> 00:04:49,400
Speaker 1: So the weekend came and went, and off she went,

101
00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:50,719
Speaker 1: and I guess she went to the baby doctor. And

102
00:04:50,720 --> 00:04:52,160
Speaker 1: she came back on Monday, like I asked her to

103
00:04:52,200 --> 00:04:55,960
Speaker 1: come back, and you know, I looked at I said, yeah,

104
00:04:55,960 --> 00:04:57,760
Speaker 1: the latch is okay, I said, it doesn't need a latch.

105
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,400
Speaker 1: You really should put a latch on the trunk. Okay. Well,

106
00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go to Mazda on Thursday and get an

107
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:04,480
Speaker 1: oil change done, so I'll just have them do the

108
00:05:04,560 --> 00:05:09,560
Speaker 1: latch when i'm there. Thank you and left laws of attraction.

109
00:05:09,839 --> 00:05:11,839
Speaker 1: You know what, shame on me. I tried to do

110
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:15,240
Speaker 1: a nice thing and you know it became a lost situation.

111
00:05:15,279 --> 00:05:18,600
Speaker 1: But look at the thought process. Where's the Hey, you know,

112
00:05:19,080 --> 00:05:22,159
Speaker 1: somebody took time out of somebody's day and and here's

113
00:05:22,160 --> 00:05:26,560
Speaker 1: the bigger problem. All right, just like the person that

114
00:05:26,680 --> 00:05:28,760
Speaker 1: stops and you know, you stop in at the shop once,

115
00:05:28,800 --> 00:05:31,800
Speaker 1: you need air and attire, that's okay. You're stopping in

116
00:05:31,800 --> 00:05:34,360
Speaker 1: at the shop twice. You're kind of getting on my nerves.

117
00:05:34,440 --> 00:05:37,560
Speaker 1: You're stopping at the shop three times and you need

118
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:41,520
Speaker 1: air and attire, you know what. And you're not a customer,

119
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:43,960
Speaker 1: you're not bringing a service. We're not doing any business

120
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:47,680
Speaker 1: with you now. We're now we're suckers, all right, now,

121
00:05:47,680 --> 00:05:50,840
Speaker 1: we're not you know, there's there's We're not there to

122
00:05:51,040 --> 00:05:53,840
Speaker 1: service the neighborhood. We're there to make a living. Our

123
00:05:53,920 --> 00:05:56,960
Speaker 1: time is worth something, and every repair shop out there,

124
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,640
Speaker 1: their time is worth something. You know, it sets up

125
00:06:00,680 --> 00:06:03,760
Speaker 1: a bad day, a bad confrontation when you try and

126
00:06:03,800 --> 00:06:07,080
Speaker 1: taking it, take advantage of somebody and get one upo them.

127
00:06:09,920 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: I had a phone call this week. I'm looking for help. Okay,

128
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:17,760
Speaker 1: I've got a fourteen Chevy Cruise and I was low

129
00:06:17,839 --> 00:06:20,520
Speaker 1: on coolant and I added the wrong color coolant. I

130
00:06:20,520 --> 00:06:23,679
Speaker 1: added blue coolant to the car. Of course, my first

131
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:27,280
Speaker 1: question is who's servicing it, and who looked at it last,

132
00:06:27,320 --> 00:06:29,719
Speaker 1: and why is it low on coolant? And I understand

133
00:06:29,839 --> 00:06:32,479
Speaker 1: things can happen in the interim, in the in the

134
00:06:32,560 --> 00:06:35,400
Speaker 1: in the middle of a service, but but you know,

135
00:06:35,560 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: why didn't you call your regular mechanic. Well, I don't.

136
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:41,159
Speaker 1: I don't have a regular mechanic. You know, I haven't

137
00:06:41,160 --> 00:06:44,280
Speaker 1: found one that I like. And I asked him, I said,

138
00:06:45,120 --> 00:06:46,720
Speaker 1: you know, I said, and listen, not for nothing, I'm

139
00:06:46,760 --> 00:06:48,600
Speaker 1: just curious. How old are you he said, thirty nine

140
00:06:48,640 --> 00:06:51,480
Speaker 1: years old. I said, so you've been driving the better

141
00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:53,479
Speaker 1: part of twenty one years. He said yeah. I said,

142
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: and you haven't found a mechanic you liked? I said,

143
00:06:55,440 --> 00:06:56,960
Speaker 1: are you new to the area And I've lived here

144
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:02,599
Speaker 1: all my life. You know, when when you're dating and

145
00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:05,080
Speaker 1: you you tend to go through a bunch of people,

146
00:07:05,279 --> 00:07:07,920
Speaker 1: or when you're looking for a business. I don't care

147
00:07:07,920 --> 00:07:10,800
Speaker 1: whether it's a repair shop or pretzel maker or somebody

148
00:07:10,840 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 1: that sells jello on the street corner. And you can't

149
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:16,440
Speaker 1: find somebody that fits your needs. But yet they're still

150
00:07:16,440 --> 00:07:19,600
Speaker 1: in business and they're thriving and growing. You know, there's

151
00:07:19,640 --> 00:07:24,320
Speaker 1: one common denominator there, laws of attraction. Are you you know,

152
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:32,160
Speaker 1: are you practicing it? And you know you can't. You

153
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:36,400
Speaker 1: can't make sense out of an irrational thought process. It's

154
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:40,880
Speaker 1: it's impossible in my mind to justify how you're driving

155
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:45,000
Speaker 1: an unregistered, uninsured vehicle. There's just no there's just no

156
00:07:45,200 --> 00:07:48,800
Speaker 1: defense for that. And you know, I'm not going to

157
00:07:48,880 --> 00:07:50,920
Speaker 1: get into the baby thing. That's you know what, I

158
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:54,240
Speaker 1: judge no on everybody. Everybody makes choices in life, but

159
00:07:54,520 --> 00:07:56,920
Speaker 1: you're driving unregistered, unsured vehicle, and make I make a

160
00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,080
Speaker 1: judgment on that because that's going to affect me because

161
00:07:59,120 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: if you hit me, that drives my insurance rates up

162
00:08:02,320 --> 00:08:06,240
Speaker 1: and I'm out of pocket and you're not. And you

163
00:08:06,280 --> 00:08:10,960
Speaker 1: know that's not right. The guy with the fourteen crews,

164
00:08:11,640 --> 00:08:14,040
Speaker 1: when I explained to him that you know, we'll we'll

165
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:15,600
Speaker 1: take care of it, bring it in, I never saw

166
00:08:15,680 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 1: him so the fifteen minutes I spent on the phone

167
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:20,920
Speaker 1: with him was worthless. What did I get out of it?

168
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:22,440
Speaker 1: And I had to say it like that. But you know,

169
00:08:22,840 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 1: imagine this scenario being repeated around the country every day.

170
00:08:26,560 --> 00:08:29,360
Speaker 1: What repair shops go through the laws of attraction? What

171
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:33,360
Speaker 1: are repair shops looking for? You know, it's it's you're

172
00:08:33,400 --> 00:08:35,360
Speaker 1: either going to be a relationship or it's gonna be

173
00:08:35,360 --> 00:08:37,720
Speaker 1: dollars and cents. And the shops that are dollars and

174
00:08:37,720 --> 00:08:39,200
Speaker 1: cents are gonna sit there and say, I don't have

175
00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,199
Speaker 1: fifteen minutes to talk with you right now, come on down,

176
00:08:42,600 --> 00:08:44,280
Speaker 1: or I gotta move on to the next guy. And

177
00:08:44,320 --> 00:08:46,360
Speaker 1: the guys that are trying to build a relationship are

178
00:08:46,360 --> 00:08:50,160
Speaker 1: still gonna say the same thing, or should last guy?

179
00:08:50,240 --> 00:08:52,560
Speaker 1: You guys like hearing stories from the shop, real stories.

180
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:58,040
Speaker 1: Guy came into the shop yesterday, no Thursday, Um, about

181
00:08:58,160 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: quarter to four, Hey, how much for an alternator? I said,

182
00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:04,240
Speaker 1: for what? Two thousand and eleven? Toyota camera? I said

183
00:09:04,320 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: V six? He said yeah. I said I don't know.

184
00:09:07,160 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 1: Nine and he almost fell backwards And I said, are

185
00:09:11,200 --> 00:09:14,280
Speaker 1: you in drama school? He didn't, you know? He says no, no,

186
00:09:14,440 --> 00:09:16,360
Speaker 1: He goes he goes, everybody keeps giving me that number.

187
00:09:16,440 --> 00:09:18,800
Speaker 1: I said, oh, why do you think that is? He says,

188
00:09:18,840 --> 00:09:20,280
Speaker 1: I don't know. I said, well, let's talk about it.

189
00:09:20,320 --> 00:09:23,360
Speaker 1: I said, the alternator, you're gonna put it a real

190
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:26,520
Speaker 1: Toyota alternator on it or a Denzo. I said, that's

191
00:09:26,520 --> 00:09:28,319
Speaker 1: four to six d dollars, depending on how the car

192
00:09:28,360 --> 00:09:31,280
Speaker 1: is optioned out. He said, well, why are you going

193
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:34,839
Speaker 1: to do that? I said, because the question becomes, this

194
00:09:34,880 --> 00:09:37,400
Speaker 1: is a V six camera, right? Yeah? I said, is

195
00:09:37,440 --> 00:09:39,199
Speaker 1: this the camera that you can't see the top? You

196
00:09:39,240 --> 00:09:42,320
Speaker 1: can barely see the top of the alternator? Yeah. I said.

197
00:09:42,320 --> 00:09:43,839
Speaker 1: The reason it's so much money and why you want

198
00:09:43,840 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: to use a good part is because you you have

199
00:09:46,840 --> 00:09:50,120
Speaker 1: to take the bumper, the grill, the radiator, the condenser.

200
00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:51,599
Speaker 1: You gotta take half the car part to get to

201
00:09:51,640 --> 00:09:54,319
Speaker 1: the alternator. And then he wants to argue about why

202
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:57,240
Speaker 1: the cars designed like that. Listen, after going through the

203
00:09:57,280 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: first two of the early part of the week, I

204
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:00,560
Speaker 1: was in no mood. I said, you know what, I

205
00:10:00,559 --> 00:10:02,280
Speaker 1: didn't design it, I didn't create it. I didn't I

206
00:10:02,320 --> 00:10:04,439
Speaker 1: didn't buy it. I'll just fix it. That's it is

207
00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,280
Speaker 1: what it is. You bought it, so now you're responsible

208
00:10:07,280 --> 00:10:10,720
Speaker 1: to fix it if you want to keep driving the car. Well,

209
00:10:10,840 --> 00:10:12,800
Speaker 1: well is it? How much is it gonna be? And

210
00:10:12,800 --> 00:10:15,000
Speaker 1: I said again I repeated myself. You know nine to

211
00:10:15,080 --> 00:10:16,760
Speaker 1: twelve is usually where the number four is. That kind

212
00:10:16,760 --> 00:10:18,439
Speaker 1: of depends on how it comes apart. It's ten years

213
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: old now, and you know rust, corrosion, miscellaneous nonsense. You're

214
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:25,000
Speaker 1: gonna put a belt on. It doesn't need attention or

215
00:10:27,320 --> 00:10:29,720
Speaker 1: well and I and he kind of stuttered and hammered

216
00:10:29,720 --> 00:10:31,840
Speaker 1: and haught, and I asked him what I thought was

217
00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:33,360
Speaker 1: the right question or I came back to him with

218
00:10:33,360 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: the right comment. I said, you haven't even asked me

219
00:10:35,640 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: the right question. He says, what's that? Can I fix it?

220
00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:40,560
Speaker 1: And he just looked at me and he said, well,

221
00:10:40,600 --> 00:10:42,360
Speaker 1: I assume you can. I said, just because I got

222
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:44,440
Speaker 1: a sign up doesn't mean I can. But I'm gonna

223
00:10:44,480 --> 00:10:46,680
Speaker 1: tell you I can because that's part of what I do.

224
00:10:47,160 --> 00:10:49,960
Speaker 1: I can fix that car. I said, how do you

225
00:10:50,000 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: know what needs an alternator? Well, because the battery goes dead.

226
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: Well has anybody diagnosed it? No? So let me get

227
00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,920
Speaker 1: this right. You're driving all around talking to everybody, getting

228
00:10:59,920 --> 00:11:03,839
Speaker 1: anybody all twisted getting estimates and taking up everybody's time

229
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,240
Speaker 1: because you don't want to pay for a diagnosis just

230
00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:09,080
Speaker 1: to get a quote on what might be wrong with

231
00:11:09,120 --> 00:11:12,080
Speaker 1: a ten year old car. And he just looked at me.

232
00:11:13,679 --> 00:11:16,520
Speaker 1: I'm not surprised he never showed up the next day. UM,

233
00:11:16,600 --> 00:11:19,679
Speaker 1: And I said, gee, no, no loss there. And part

234
00:11:19,720 --> 00:11:21,760
Speaker 1: of the reason why there's no loss there is because,

235
00:11:22,440 --> 00:11:24,480
Speaker 1: you know what, we still had cars the next day.

236
00:11:24,640 --> 00:11:27,560
Speaker 1: I've noticed that it's funny the people that seem to

237
00:11:28,160 --> 00:11:31,840
Speaker 1: be consumers not customers. You still have cars the next

238
00:11:31,920 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: day because there's less repair shops. There's less good repair

239
00:11:35,640 --> 00:11:39,600
Speaker 1: shops than there are the need for you know that

240
00:11:39,679 --> 00:11:43,080
Speaker 1: the customer is looking for. So just be aware. You know,

241
00:11:43,120 --> 00:11:44,679
Speaker 1: I'm trying not to make this a rant, and I'm

242
00:11:44,679 --> 00:11:46,600
Speaker 1: trying not to go on forever, and I'm gonna stop now.

243
00:11:46,640 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: But just think about the laws of attraction. Are you

244
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:51,640
Speaker 1: setting yourself up for failure when you go into a

245
00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:55,280
Speaker 1: repair shop? If they don't respect you, find another shop.

246
00:11:55,320 --> 00:11:58,040
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying every shop is, but I tell

247
00:11:58,080 --> 00:11:59,800
Speaker 1: you what I know. A lot of shops good shops

248
00:11:59,800 --> 00:12:03,520
Speaker 1: that um, they'll all tell you the same stories. They

249
00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:06,839
Speaker 1: all go through it there's no logic. One last one

250
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: real quick? How about the one that yesterday? The phone

251
00:12:09,240 --> 00:12:11,760
Speaker 1: rang it ten minutes after four? Ten minutes after four

252
00:12:11,800 --> 00:12:13,760
Speaker 1: on a Friday. Can I bring in my car today

253
00:12:13,760 --> 00:12:16,920
Speaker 1: to get it repaired? Ten minutes after four? And I explained?

254
00:12:16,920 --> 00:12:18,840
Speaker 1: What we go home at five o'clock? Oh, well, I

255
00:12:18,840 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: could just run down. Now, what's wrong with it? I

256
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:22,400
Speaker 1: don't know. Well, what does it do? Well, it's got

257
00:12:22,440 --> 00:12:27,280
Speaker 1: a bunch of lights on the dashboard, you know, at

258
00:12:27,600 --> 00:12:32,120
Speaker 1: ten after four on Friday. I don't know. I think

259
00:12:32,120 --> 00:12:33,920
Speaker 1: there's gonna be a minimum i Q level in order

260
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:36,520
Speaker 1: to operate an automobile. And now we're gonna turn these

261
00:12:36,600 --> 00:12:39,240
Speaker 1: people over into high tech cars. It's I'm not gonna

262
00:12:39,240 --> 00:12:40,640
Speaker 1: go there. I'm gonna pull over and take a pause.

263
00:12:40,840 --> 00:12:44,760
Speaker 1: Five zero. When we come back, we'll we'll talk a

264
00:12:44,800 --> 00:12:46,520
Speaker 1: little bit more. I'm run in any in the car, doctor,

265
00:12:46,520 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 1: don't go away for the best in car advice. Given

266
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:02,600
Speaker 1: a call eight five five five six zero zero zero. Now,

267
00:13:03,880 --> 00:13:06,720
Speaker 1: hey Walt, checking in from Hawaii. By the way, Welcome back,

268
00:13:07,160 --> 00:13:08,760
Speaker 1: um Ron. What do you think about cleaning up an

269
00:13:08,760 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: old dirt engine in the car? Walt Maui, Hawaiian you know, Walter, I,

270
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:14,400
Speaker 1: I've never been a fan of degreasing. Well maybe on

271
00:13:14,440 --> 00:13:17,320
Speaker 1: an older vehicle, you know, and I'm talking, you know,

272
00:13:17,440 --> 00:13:20,160
Speaker 1: thirty five forty years ago before we started introducing all

273
00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:23,080
Speaker 1: the electrical connectors under the hood. But if you're going

274
00:13:23,160 --> 00:13:25,920
Speaker 1: to clean up an old car or a dirt engine

275
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:29,640
Speaker 1: in a car that's got a heavy grease deposits are

276
00:13:29,640 --> 00:13:32,480
Speaker 1: heavy accumulation, you know, obviously you've got to be aware

277
00:13:32,480 --> 00:13:34,280
Speaker 1: of all the electrical connectors. You've got to be aware

278
00:13:34,280 --> 00:13:37,200
Speaker 1: of the potential for you know, cross circuits and and

279
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:40,480
Speaker 1: corrosion and damage from moisture, and you've got to be

280
00:13:40,559 --> 00:13:44,040
Speaker 1: gingerly and how you spray and clean so you know,

281
00:13:44,679 --> 00:13:47,880
Speaker 1: it's not every vehicle is the same um You know,

282
00:13:47,920 --> 00:13:50,440
Speaker 1: you've also got to be careful of what chemical cleaner

283
00:13:50,480 --> 00:13:53,880
Speaker 1: you're going to use. Berryman actually makes a very good product.

284
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:56,280
Speaker 1: They have a cleaning solution you can get out more.

285
00:13:56,320 --> 00:13:58,560
Speaker 1: You can read it at their website Barriman Products dot com.

286
00:13:58,840 --> 00:14:02,200
Speaker 1: They make an engine d reaser that is environmentally safe,

287
00:14:02,200 --> 00:14:04,640
Speaker 1: because that's the other issue. All this grit and crud

288
00:14:04,640 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: and contaminant washes off and where does it go, So

289
00:14:08,559 --> 00:14:11,480
Speaker 1: you know, there's a lot of pitfalls to it. I

290
00:14:11,520 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: am concerned always, especially on a newer vehicle, doing it

291
00:14:15,520 --> 00:14:19,080
Speaker 1: to the point that people get over zealous and you know,

292
00:14:19,520 --> 00:14:23,680
Speaker 1: will be um, how shall we say, just just energetic

293
00:14:23,720 --> 00:14:26,120
Speaker 1: about it and they can created image. We've actually had

294
00:14:26,200 --> 00:14:29,680
Speaker 1: vehicles that don't start because people have created computers or

295
00:14:29,720 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: wiring issues and things have to be taken apart and

296
00:14:32,080 --> 00:14:34,840
Speaker 1: right out. And you know, so it's give me a

297
00:14:34,880 --> 00:14:37,480
Speaker 1: reason why you really need to do it, and um,

298
00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:39,840
Speaker 1: you know, maybe it's maybe it's okay, but not a

299
00:14:39,880 --> 00:14:42,280
Speaker 1: fan favorite, not something I'm really in love with the

300
00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: idea of. Hey up in Michigan, Governor Whittmer. Whittmer has

301
00:14:46,480 --> 00:14:50,320
Speaker 1: announced an in road wireless electric vehicle charging project that

302
00:14:50,360 --> 00:14:51,960
Speaker 1: they say it will be the faith that it will

303
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:54,080
Speaker 1: be the first mission is going to be the first

304
00:14:54,120 --> 00:14:56,760
Speaker 1: to do this. Tuesday, at the opening ceremony form Mortebela,

305
00:14:56,800 --> 00:14:59,440
Speaker 1: the outdoor event serving as a placeholder for the Detroit

306
00:14:59,480 --> 00:15:01,800
Speaker 1: Auto Show that right that's coming up, Governor Gretchen Whitmer

307
00:15:02,080 --> 00:15:05,360
Speaker 1: announced that Michigan would be the first to deploy wireless

308
00:15:05,440 --> 00:15:08,280
Speaker 1: electric vehicles charging on the road. This would allow evs

309
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:10,520
Speaker 1: to charge while driving without having to stop. Ended up

310
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:15,000
Speaker 1: charging station, deploy wireless electric vehicle charging on the road,

311
00:15:15,200 --> 00:15:17,360
Speaker 1: state of looking for partners to help develop and deploy

312
00:15:17,400 --> 00:15:19,880
Speaker 1: the technology. According to a press release from the Michigan

313
00:15:19,920 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: Economic Development Corporation, the inductive Vehicle Charging pilot will cover

314
00:15:23,480 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: a one mile stretch of road in either Wayne, Oakland,

315
00:15:26,640 --> 00:15:28,640
Speaker 1: or Macomb County. I don't understand that. How do you

316
00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:31,840
Speaker 1: use We're gonna do a one mile stretch of road

317
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: and that's gonna be where vehicles charge. How many loops

318
00:15:34,280 --> 00:15:35,840
Speaker 1: do you have to make before you actually charge the

319
00:15:35,920 --> 00:15:40,000
Speaker 1: vehicle up? And there's got to be an engineering concept.

320
00:15:40,080 --> 00:15:42,080
Speaker 1: I'd love to see if maybe research can't they could

321
00:15:42,080 --> 00:15:44,800
Speaker 1: dig into this to see, uh, you know where and

322
00:15:44,880 --> 00:15:46,720
Speaker 1: how is this? What's the cost factor going to be?

323
00:15:46,760 --> 00:15:48,520
Speaker 1: We're gonna start to build the road so that they

324
00:15:48,600 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: charge the vehicle. You know, Brandon and I were talking

325
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,960
Speaker 1: about this the other day. Yeah, from a radio stand Well,

326
00:15:56,000 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: for the first standpoint, there's an electric field involved with

327
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:03,360
Speaker 1: with wires in the roads or some way to charge

328
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:05,840
Speaker 1: this vehicles. Does that mean where it's gonna be dangerous

329
00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,040
Speaker 1: now for us to cross the street because of these

330
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:10,680
Speaker 1: electric fields? Are we going to be exposed to additional

331
00:16:10,720 --> 00:16:17,040
Speaker 1: electric fields, and then you've got It's bad enough that

332
00:16:17,120 --> 00:16:19,800
Speaker 1: in many vehicles, in many areas, AM radio is very

333
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:22,960
Speaker 1: difficult to listen to because of the noise. This will

334
00:16:22,960 --> 00:16:26,320
Speaker 1: create more noise. It's starting to affect FM. Does that

335
00:16:26,360 --> 00:16:28,360
Speaker 1: mean all of a sudden, broadcast radio is gonna be

336
00:16:28,400 --> 00:16:30,920
Speaker 1: non existent in cars because we're gonna have to charge

337
00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:35,080
Speaker 1: our wireless cars, our cars wirelessly in the road. Well, yeah,

338
00:16:35,160 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: and there was what was the point you made last week? Tom,

339
00:16:37,760 --> 00:16:39,680
Speaker 1: I'm trying to think what we were talking after last

340
00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:41,560
Speaker 1: week's show, and you brought up a good point about

341
00:16:41,600 --> 00:16:43,880
Speaker 1: electric vehicles that we hadn't even addressed on here. I

342
00:16:43,920 --> 00:16:45,560
Speaker 1: remember what it was. I should have written it down,

343
00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,400
Speaker 1: but it was so should I Yeah it, um it.

344
00:16:49,560 --> 00:16:51,240
Speaker 1: You kind of put me in my tracks and made

345
00:16:51,280 --> 00:16:53,560
Speaker 1: me stop. I saw an article this morning that I

346
00:16:53,560 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: haven't had a chance to really dive into, but it

347
00:16:56,160 --> 00:17:00,920
Speaker 1: talked about how when Tesla's run out of charge, they

348
00:17:01,040 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: they're not in neutral and there's a degree of difficulty

349
00:17:04,119 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: in pushing or getting them off the road. I don't

350
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: know if that's true yet, I haven't confirmed that, but

351
00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:10,000
Speaker 1: it made an interesting point that they're not easy to

352
00:17:10,040 --> 00:17:12,240
Speaker 1: maneuver once they run completely out of charge, and then

353
00:17:12,240 --> 00:17:14,840
Speaker 1: what do you do. So but Michigan is gonna create

354
00:17:14,880 --> 00:17:17,480
Speaker 1: a one mile wireless road so you can charge the

355
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,520
Speaker 1: vehicle while driving over it. I don't I think it's

356
00:17:20,520 --> 00:17:23,240
Speaker 1: a publicity stunt. I don't know where and how that's

357
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,240
Speaker 1: going to be such a phenomenal thing to do. But

358
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:28,199
Speaker 1: you know that's what's up. Um. You know that's in

359
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:30,640
Speaker 1: the news, so we're just here to report it. General Motors,

360
00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:32,040
Speaker 1: by the way, it's found a clever way to deal

361
00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:33,919
Speaker 1: with the lack of chips. This came out. This came

362
00:17:33,960 --> 00:17:36,720
Speaker 1: out just this past week. The global chip shortage maybe

363
00:17:36,760 --> 00:17:38,199
Speaker 1: here to stay in the long term. Do you know.

364
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:41,720
Speaker 1: They're estimating the chip shortage could continue well into three

365
00:17:42,560 --> 00:17:44,480
Speaker 1: But carmakers are looking for ways to speed up the

366
00:17:44,480 --> 00:17:47,600
Speaker 1: recovery and reduce the impact that General Motors, it appears,

367
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,120
Speaker 1: is starting to sell some models. They're pulling back start

368
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:52,880
Speaker 1: stop as a as an option to offer so it

369
00:17:52,960 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: requires less chips. Hey, you know, and um, they're also

370
00:17:57,320 --> 00:17:59,679
Speaker 1: trying to create their own chip companies where they're going

371
00:17:59,720 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: to just go direct or just build the place where

372
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,639
Speaker 1: they can build the chips themselves. What do you know

373
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:06,480
Speaker 1: building supplies and material here in the United States? What

374
00:18:06,520 --> 00:18:08,640
Speaker 1: a concept? I'm running any of the card doctor, I'll

375
00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:40,600
Speaker 1: be back right after this. Don't go away. Welcome back.

376
00:18:40,640 --> 00:18:42,440
Speaker 1: We're naming the car, docul. Let's get over to Richard,

377
00:18:42,440 --> 00:18:44,760
Speaker 1: New Jersey with the firebar. We've been working on the

378
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:47,040
Speaker 1: last couple of weeks. Rich Welcome to board, sir. Where

379
00:18:47,080 --> 00:18:50,400
Speaker 1: you at now? What status? Hi? Ron? Thanks for taking

380
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:54,399
Speaker 1: my call. Um. Last week you told me to reconnect

381
00:18:55,119 --> 00:18:59,000
Speaker 1: the electronic spark timing and disconnect the wire to the

382
00:18:59,040 --> 00:19:03,680
Speaker 1: knock sensor. So I did that and with the Knox,

383
00:19:04,320 --> 00:19:08,240
Speaker 1: with the knock sensor wire disconnected, the engine runs much better.

384
00:19:09,280 --> 00:19:12,560
Speaker 1: That's random misses, but it's not losing three or four

385
00:19:12,640 --> 00:19:16,760
Speaker 1: cylinders at one time. So my next my next comment

386
00:19:16,800 --> 00:19:18,199
Speaker 1: would be, I want you to do two things. I

387
00:19:18,280 --> 00:19:20,920
Speaker 1: want you to put the stock distributor back in because

388
00:19:20,960 --> 00:19:24,880
Speaker 1: this has that MSD distributor in it, right, Um, put

389
00:19:24,880 --> 00:19:28,360
Speaker 1: the MSD distributor. Put the stock distributor back in. Repeat

390
00:19:28,359 --> 00:19:32,040
Speaker 1: the test, and if it's the same condition, then with

391
00:19:32,119 --> 00:19:35,320
Speaker 1: everything hooked up, knock sensor hooked up, I'd like you

392
00:19:35,400 --> 00:19:38,240
Speaker 1: to put a timing light on it. Watch timing at

393
00:19:38,280 --> 00:19:40,120
Speaker 1: the balance or you know, put it in bypass mode

394
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:41,640
Speaker 1: like you were, go no, I'm sorry, leave it, Leave

395
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: it out of bypass mode. Leave it just just took

396
00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:46,919
Speaker 1: up a timing light. If you tap the side of

397
00:19:46,960 --> 00:19:50,359
Speaker 1: the block where the knock sensor is, you know, holding

398
00:19:50,359 --> 00:19:54,200
Speaker 1: it at two grand, does it start to retard spark?

399
00:19:54,680 --> 00:19:58,119
Speaker 1: It should if it. If it doesn't, I'm going to

400
00:19:58,200 --> 00:20:01,560
Speaker 1: question the knock sensor or the wiring or the circuit

401
00:20:01,640 --> 00:20:05,040
Speaker 1: leading back to including the PCM. You know, do we

402
00:20:05,080 --> 00:20:06,840
Speaker 1: have do we have an erratic or do we have

403
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:08,600
Speaker 1: a knock sensor that has a mind of its own

404
00:20:08,640 --> 00:20:11,840
Speaker 1: so to speak, and it's doing whatever it wants. The

405
00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,720
Speaker 1: fact that it works better without the knock sensor enabled

406
00:20:15,600 --> 00:20:18,240
Speaker 1: tells me that the knock sensor is a big part

407
00:20:18,280 --> 00:20:21,080
Speaker 1: of this problem. Now in theory, if we want to

408
00:20:21,080 --> 00:20:22,879
Speaker 1: talk about a thirty two year old car, the way

409
00:20:22,920 --> 00:20:27,840
Speaker 1: that was supposed to work is it will during during operation,

410
00:20:28,280 --> 00:20:31,520
Speaker 1: the engine will begin to advance its timing and it

411
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:34,280
Speaker 1: will just advance timing to a point and it will

412
00:20:34,320 --> 00:20:36,560
Speaker 1: listen for ping. It will listen for you know, spark

413
00:20:36,640 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: knock detonation in the cylinder and if it if it

414
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,119
Speaker 1: doesn't hear that it's going to get to a set point,

415
00:20:42,560 --> 00:20:45,719
Speaker 1: it will set a trouble code forty three. Of course,

416
00:20:46,160 --> 00:20:48,159
Speaker 1: that was back in the day when everything was factory

417
00:20:48,240 --> 00:20:52,240
Speaker 1: fresh and crisp and you know, operating as as designed,

418
00:20:52,359 --> 00:20:53,720
Speaker 1: which is why I want you to go back to

419
00:20:53,760 --> 00:20:57,200
Speaker 1: the stock distributor. You're you're real close rich, You're you're

420
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:00,600
Speaker 1: some combination of parts here as the clause, We've just

421
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:03,879
Speaker 1: got to try and narrow it down. Let me let

422
00:21:03,960 --> 00:21:08,439
Speaker 1: me tell you where the direction that I went. I

423
00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:12,920
Speaker 1: checked the voltage to the knock sensor right the e

424
00:21:13,080 --> 00:21:16,479
Speaker 1: c M on, so I had key on engine not running,

425
00:21:17,119 --> 00:21:20,359
Speaker 1: and I got four point nine volts from the e

426
00:21:20,520 --> 00:21:24,679
Speaker 1: c M to ground and that that that seems like

427
00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:28,960
Speaker 1: it makes sense, yeah, because that's the biased voltage the

428
00:21:29,000 --> 00:21:30,919
Speaker 1: PCM or the I'm sorry, the e c M was

429
00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:34,080
Speaker 1: sending out that it would look for that signal to

430
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,440
Speaker 1: be pulled down low when the vehicle was going into

431
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:40,880
Speaker 1: spark retard mode. So that makes sense, okay. And then

432
00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:44,159
Speaker 1: I checked the ohms from the from an engine ground

433
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:47,200
Speaker 1: to the knock sensor tin. There's there's a single while

434
00:21:47,320 --> 00:21:49,439
Speaker 1: going to the knock sensor, so the pin in the

435
00:21:49,480 --> 00:21:57,720
Speaker 1: center of it, and I've got so Um, the speck

436
00:21:57,840 --> 00:22:02,080
Speaker 1: on that is thirty three D. So you're in the middle.

437
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,840
Speaker 1: I'm in the middle. That seems good, right, So I'll

438
00:22:07,880 --> 00:22:11,760
Speaker 1: do what I'll do it so that seems good. Um,

439
00:22:11,800 --> 00:22:13,920
Speaker 1: I'll do what you said. I'll put the timing light

440
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:16,480
Speaker 1: on it and tap the block near the rock nonsense,

441
00:22:17,000 --> 00:22:19,880
Speaker 1: and see if I can get because because now you're

442
00:22:19,920 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: actually going to do a functional test, you're gonna check

443
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:25,800
Speaker 1: it to see does it operate as designed, which you

444
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,480
Speaker 1: know that's and that's good. Does it does it do

445
00:22:27,520 --> 00:22:30,119
Speaker 1: what it's supposed to do? And then the other question

446
00:22:30,200 --> 00:22:32,200
Speaker 1: I would ask is if you you know, if you

447
00:22:32,320 --> 00:22:34,480
Speaker 1: listen to the engine, and I'm assuming it's okay, but

448
00:22:34,520 --> 00:22:36,800
Speaker 1: I never want to assume. Do you hear it? Does

449
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:39,199
Speaker 1: the engine have any internal noise? Doesn't have any knocking

450
00:22:39,280 --> 00:22:44,040
Speaker 1: or tapping that you hear? Okay. The only thing that

451
00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,320
Speaker 1: it has it has a lifter. That's bad when the

452
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:51,040
Speaker 1: oil is hot and the engine is hot. Okay, the engine,

453
00:22:51,119 --> 00:22:53,680
Speaker 1: the engine oil is hot, and I let it. I don't.

454
00:22:53,720 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: It's tap tap taps every once in a while. And

455
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,639
Speaker 1: I had the timing light on that looking for that

456
00:22:58,800 --> 00:23:02,439
Speaker 1: to retard the ignition, but it doesn't do that. And

457
00:23:02,440 --> 00:23:04,520
Speaker 1: then I said to myself, well, that's probably the right

458
00:23:04,560 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: frequency because it's a right word, and everybody kind of baboles.

459
00:23:08,880 --> 00:23:11,160
Speaker 1: The tap would be would be set in a code,

460
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,240
Speaker 1: and I did set a code forty three by unplugging,

461
00:23:14,400 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: So yeah, I'm sure, Yeah, I'm sure you did. So

462
00:23:16,119 --> 00:23:19,160
Speaker 1: we know that we know the circuits functional. So um,

463
00:23:19,400 --> 00:23:22,080
Speaker 1: you won't. Now it won't. It won't set a code

464
00:23:22,080 --> 00:23:26,639
Speaker 1: forty three unless that you know, if if right, which

465
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:29,760
Speaker 1: what you're going to do, will determine the next step. Okay,

466
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:31,119
Speaker 1: let me not, let me not go where I was

467
00:23:31,160 --> 00:23:33,840
Speaker 1: gonna go. Uh but yeah, by all means, let's let's

468
00:23:33,840 --> 00:23:35,320
Speaker 1: see what it does next. But I'd like to do

469
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,239
Speaker 1: it with a stock distributor, just because I don't know

470
00:23:38,280 --> 00:23:41,719
Speaker 1: what that MSD does or has, or how it's calibrated,

471
00:23:41,760 --> 00:23:43,880
Speaker 1: or what componentry it has in it. And if I'm

472
00:23:43,880 --> 00:23:46,320
Speaker 1: going to do a test on a stock system, unless

473
00:23:46,320 --> 00:23:47,960
Speaker 1: I want to get into the research of and the

474
00:23:48,280 --> 00:23:51,400
Speaker 1: understanding of whatever MSD is doing, you know, unless that's

475
00:23:51,400 --> 00:23:54,919
Speaker 1: a stock replacement, I'd be curious if you wanted to

476
00:23:54,920 --> 00:23:58,320
Speaker 1: bypass and eliminate the whole spark retard thing. Is there

477
00:23:58,359 --> 00:24:00,879
Speaker 1: a standard straight curve to tributor you could put in

478
00:24:00,880 --> 00:24:04,320
Speaker 1: this and when that eliminate the problem? You know, I'm

479
00:24:04,320 --> 00:24:08,080
Speaker 1: like cool, ms D and ask them that question, because

480
00:24:08,640 --> 00:24:13,520
Speaker 1: I got two distributors and they didn't work because there's

481
00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:15,719
Speaker 1: some other problem, and I returned them for a credit.

482
00:24:15,880 --> 00:24:19,040
Speaker 1: So I don't have a stock distributor right now at

483
00:24:19,040 --> 00:24:21,399
Speaker 1: the moment when we have this MSD which is in

484
00:24:21,480 --> 00:24:24,119
Speaker 1: the court. But I'll work that out with ms D

485
00:24:24,320 --> 00:24:27,000
Speaker 1: and tell them the part number and what's going on. Yeah, well,

486
00:24:27,080 --> 00:24:29,760
Speaker 1: and just just be forewarned. The last time I talked

487
00:24:29,760 --> 00:24:34,400
Speaker 1: to ms D, they they don't have a great customer

488
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,520
Speaker 1: service or they I wasn't impressed. So just just just

489
00:24:38,600 --> 00:24:41,560
Speaker 1: be aware of them. Yeah, it's it's you know, they

490
00:24:41,640 --> 00:24:44,840
Speaker 1: basically I don't want to explain anything, and you're an idiot,

491
00:24:44,840 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: and I'm an idiot, and uh you know it makes

492
00:24:47,600 --> 00:24:49,760
Speaker 1: you wonder. Uh yeah, I don't have I don't have

493
00:24:49,800 --> 00:24:51,119
Speaker 1: great things to say about them. I didn't have a

494
00:24:51,160 --> 00:24:53,240
Speaker 1: great experience, and not just once, but it seems like

495
00:24:53,280 --> 00:24:56,359
Speaker 1: every time I've called, probably a half a dozen times

496
00:24:56,359 --> 00:24:59,440
Speaker 1: over the past ten years. So um, I haven't found

497
00:24:59,480 --> 00:25:02,439
Speaker 1: anybody with good bedside manner, so to speak. All right,

498
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:08,840
Speaker 1: all right, thanks again, you're welcome, Rich, keep me posted again,

499
00:25:08,920 --> 00:25:11,440
Speaker 1: You're welcome. Good bye. UM. Well here you go. You

500
00:25:11,480 --> 00:25:14,359
Speaker 1: know you wonder now is it related to the MSSY distributor? Okay,

501
00:25:14,359 --> 00:25:16,840
Speaker 1: and it's you know, it's hard from my seat here

502
00:25:16,880 --> 00:25:18,720
Speaker 1: to have eyes to see everything. I just have to

503
00:25:18,720 --> 00:25:20,040
Speaker 1: think about it in my head. It would be my

504
00:25:20,119 --> 00:25:22,479
Speaker 1: next step. If I'm going to check the Knox sensor

505
00:25:22,520 --> 00:25:25,520
Speaker 1: circuit on that vehicle, I'm gonna do so. Uh you

506
00:25:25,560 --> 00:25:27,760
Speaker 1: know by the simple old tap test was what we

507
00:25:27,800 --> 00:25:29,439
Speaker 1: did back in the day. But I want to do

508
00:25:29,480 --> 00:25:31,040
Speaker 1: it with a stock distributor. I want to know that

509
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,480
Speaker 1: I've got base timing and I've got a true curve

510
00:25:33,520 --> 00:25:36,000
Speaker 1: and and you know it's going to operate and past

511
00:25:36,040 --> 00:25:39,320
Speaker 1: testing as required. So UM, just something to be aware. Hey,

512
00:25:39,359 --> 00:25:44,520
Speaker 1: I was reading an article UM out of UM Consumer Reports,

513
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,680
Speaker 1: and they talk about tire ceilings. Entire ceilings really fix

514
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:49,600
Speaker 1: a flat. You know, we've been talking about this off

515
00:25:49,640 --> 00:25:53,119
Speaker 1: and on that. Tire ceilings, well, they seem to be

516
00:25:53,160 --> 00:25:56,320
Speaker 1: a problem for a variety of reasons, especially in a

517
00:25:56,400 --> 00:25:59,120
Speaker 1: vehicle with a tire pressure monitoring system. So I'll tell

518
00:25:59,119 --> 00:26:00,720
Speaker 1: you what. Let's pull over and take a poise, and

519
00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,520
Speaker 1: when the car doctor returns, we're gonna come back and

520
00:26:02,560 --> 00:26:05,480
Speaker 1: talk a little bit about tire ceilings and do they work,

521
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:08,479
Speaker 1: and talk about this article in Consumer Reports. I'm run

522
00:26:08,520 --> 00:26:12,080
Speaker 1: on any in the car doctor eight five five zero

523
00:26:12,200 --> 00:26:15,439
Speaker 1: zero eight five five zero zero. I'll be back right

524
00:26:15,440 --> 00:26:36,520
Speaker 1: after this. I sure am, I'm running any of the

525
00:26:36,520 --> 00:26:38,520
Speaker 1: car doctor, just taking the ride real quick before we

526
00:26:38,520 --> 00:26:40,840
Speaker 1: get over the phones and talk to Melvin Uh. Consumer

527
00:26:40,920 --> 00:26:44,400
Speaker 1: Reports are recently talking about tire ceilings liquid tire celings,

528
00:26:44,400 --> 00:26:46,479
Speaker 1: price range nine to twelve dollars. They talk about how

529
00:26:46,520 --> 00:26:49,359
Speaker 1: liquid tire celings are designed to patch a small tire

530
00:26:49,400 --> 00:26:52,159
Speaker 1: puncture up to two point four millimeters. They tried and

531
00:26:52,200 --> 00:26:54,640
Speaker 1: it worked. It didn't puncture the five point eight millimeter

532
00:26:54,960 --> 00:26:56,920
Speaker 1: they made with a framing nail that whole. So a

533
00:26:57,000 --> 00:26:59,280
Speaker 1: can of ceiling on its own was not enough to

534
00:26:59,320 --> 00:27:01,320
Speaker 1: get them back on the road. They try to pressurized

535
00:27:01,400 --> 00:27:04,239
Speaker 1: can of ceiling seven to fourteen dollars. The single use

536
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:07,560
Speaker 1: ceiling inflate products applied to a tire's air inflation valve,

537
00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:09,800
Speaker 1: and they talk about how, yes, it it worked up

538
00:27:09,800 --> 00:27:12,200
Speaker 1: to a small two point four millimeter hall, but again

539
00:27:12,240 --> 00:27:16,160
Speaker 1: did not UH could not truly inflate a real flat tire.

540
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,640
Speaker 1: Pressurized cans could rupture in a hot car, so you've

541
00:27:18,640 --> 00:27:21,080
Speaker 1: got to follow guidelines for storage. And last they talk

542
00:27:21,119 --> 00:27:23,720
Speaker 1: about a ceilingt kit, which now that we have, you know,

543
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:26,080
Speaker 1: run flat tires, where we don't give you a spare tire,

544
00:27:26,240 --> 00:27:29,359
Speaker 1: vehicle manufacturers are giving you kits that have a twelve

545
00:27:29,440 --> 00:27:33,359
Speaker 1: old compressor and some liquid ceiling and these worked in

546
00:27:33,520 --> 00:27:36,080
Speaker 1: specific applications, but not as well as a good old

547
00:27:36,119 --> 00:27:38,480
Speaker 1: fashioned spare tire bottom line. And one of the things

548
00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:41,680
Speaker 1: I noticed in this entire Consumer Reports conversation they didn't

549
00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:44,919
Speaker 1: mention the fact that a tire ceilant, regardless from what

550
00:27:44,960 --> 00:27:47,160
Speaker 1: I've experienced and what I see in the shop every day,

551
00:27:47,160 --> 00:27:48,560
Speaker 1: and that's what I'm here for. I'm telling you what

552
00:27:48,600 --> 00:27:52,040
Speaker 1: I see a real world UH, A tire sealant, regardless

553
00:27:52,040 --> 00:27:54,480
Speaker 1: of what it comes out of, is going to plug

554
00:27:54,560 --> 00:27:57,439
Speaker 1: up a tire pressure monitoring sensor at the vehicles equipped

555
00:27:57,440 --> 00:28:01,320
Speaker 1: of which the view was on the road have TPMs

556
00:28:01,359 --> 00:28:04,920
Speaker 1: now and active system TPMs, and you're gonna end putting

557
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:08,000
Speaker 1: entire pressure sensor in it along with repairing, if not

558
00:28:08,080 --> 00:28:10,159
Speaker 1: the complete price of the tire. So I don't think

559
00:28:10,200 --> 00:28:13,639
Speaker 1: tire sealants are the problem solvers that were led to

560
00:28:13,640 --> 00:28:15,840
Speaker 1: believe that they are. I don't know that having them

561
00:28:15,960 --> 00:28:17,439
Speaker 1: it can't hurt, but I wouldn't put a lot of

562
00:28:17,440 --> 00:28:19,439
Speaker 1: stock in it. It might work, and it might make

563
00:28:19,440 --> 00:28:21,200
Speaker 1: you feel good just having it in the trunk. Let's

564
00:28:21,200 --> 00:28:23,840
Speaker 1: get over to Melvin and Louisiana. Oh one Toyota Corolla,

565
00:28:24,200 --> 00:28:26,080
Speaker 1: and let's see what's going on here. Melvin, Welcome to

566
00:28:26,080 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 1: the car doctor, sir. How can I help? Yeah, I

567
00:28:29,720 --> 00:28:34,159
Speaker 1: have a two thousand one Toyota co Let's and I

568
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:37,320
Speaker 1: have a hundred fifty tho miles and it's been burning

569
00:28:37,359 --> 00:28:42,280
Speaker 1: off about fifty miles and I changed all, you know, regularly,

570
00:28:42,280 --> 00:28:44,560
Speaker 1: and we're gonna keep up the cars to extrap car.

571
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:47,080
Speaker 1: And got it five years ago and it had thirty

572
00:28:47,080 --> 00:28:50,960
Speaker 1: three thousand miles. It was an old couple headed and

573
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:53,800
Speaker 1: the only thing I had a problem with it and

574
00:28:54,160 --> 00:28:58,760
Speaker 1: already at cover gasket about fifty miles ago. And since

575
00:28:58,760 --> 00:29:01,600
Speaker 1: I've changed that, that's when it started burning all. I

576
00:29:01,600 --> 00:29:04,520
Speaker 1: mean before that it was only looking like maybe a

577
00:29:04,520 --> 00:29:08,200
Speaker 1: half a court between all changes. But now it's burning

578
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:11,600
Speaker 1: all about a quarter every six d eight hundred miles.

579
00:29:12,240 --> 00:29:15,560
Speaker 1: And that happened. That happened after you did the valve cover, Melvin,

580
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:19,760
Speaker 1: right after I said it was only leaking. I made

581
00:29:19,760 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: a half a court between all changes, and then I

582
00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:25,000
Speaker 1: changed the valve cover gasket and then boom, it just

583
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:28,880
Speaker 1: started burning all At first it was like, um, I

584
00:29:29,080 --> 00:29:32,160
Speaker 1: put a quart every twelve miles, but now with burning

585
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:35,640
Speaker 1: the court every six to eight hundred miles. So when

586
00:29:35,640 --> 00:29:39,120
Speaker 1: you when you change the valve cover, did you change

587
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:43,040
Speaker 1: the PCV valve or do anything with the crime? I do?

588
00:29:43,160 --> 00:29:48,640
Speaker 1: I do? I do that every uh probably twice between

589
00:29:48,840 --> 00:29:54,320
Speaker 1: like you know, UM tune ups. So probably I changed

590
00:29:54,360 --> 00:29:59,680
Speaker 1: the PBC valve every miles A right, what brand PCV

591
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:05,680
Speaker 1: using you are? Really? At first? And then I changed

592
00:30:05,720 --> 00:30:09,920
Speaker 1: to that, but it didn't make a difference. Is it possible?

593
00:30:09,960 --> 00:30:11,720
Speaker 1: And I don't recall how the inside of an O

594
00:30:11,800 --> 00:30:14,640
Speaker 1: one Corolla valve cover looks. Is it possible there's a

595
00:30:14,680 --> 00:30:17,480
Speaker 1: baffle plate that's been knocked loose or missing, and now

596
00:30:17,520 --> 00:30:20,280
Speaker 1: the PCV is exposed to more oil volume than than

597
00:30:20,440 --> 00:30:23,120
Speaker 1: than it's supposed to be, and that's what causing that's

598
00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,960
Speaker 1: what's causing it to consume the oil, just saying just

599
00:30:26,160 --> 00:30:28,280
Speaker 1: you know, if there's if there really is a connection

600
00:30:28,320 --> 00:30:31,360
Speaker 1: between you doing the valve cover and the consumption which

601
00:30:31,360 --> 00:30:33,880
Speaker 1: is up drastically. One of the concerns I have, how

602
00:30:33,880 --> 00:30:37,200
Speaker 1: long has it been doing this? Fifty miles? Yeah? Ever

603
00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: said that changed the valtcome again, So that means you know,

604
00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: and and I told him, I told the mechanics of that.

605
00:30:43,560 --> 00:30:46,760
Speaker 1: I said, you know, it was legally all, but now

606
00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:50,040
Speaker 1: it's burning. Ever start changed the valtcome again, and they

607
00:30:50,120 --> 00:30:53,640
Speaker 1: just strugg Well, you know, you might need a valid job,

608
00:30:53,640 --> 00:30:55,640
Speaker 1: marine job. You might have to overhaul it. The body

609
00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: games and it's like the cause of extra excellent safe.

610
00:30:58,680 --> 00:31:02,480
Speaker 1: Everything works on it. You know. One of the one

611
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:05,240
Speaker 1: of the one of the concerns I've got is now

612
00:31:05,240 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: that it's been burning oil this time, is that oil

613
00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,840
Speaker 1: as it goes through the exhaust and we're gonna assume

614
00:31:09,840 --> 00:31:12,640
Speaker 1: it's burning oil, that it's not leaking it. You are

615
00:31:12,720 --> 00:31:16,520
Speaker 1: coating oxygen sensors, You are coating catalytic converter with oil residueent.

616
00:31:16,640 --> 00:31:18,640
Speaker 1: At some point you're shortening the life of those two

617
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:21,959
Speaker 1: major components. Well, yeah, the lights on and I have

618
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: to change my calcu inverter and my OC centers right now,

619
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,520
Speaker 1: which I'm gonna do. But before I do it, I'd

620
00:31:27,560 --> 00:31:31,240
Speaker 1: like to solve that because it doesn't even smoke at all. Okay, Well,

621
00:31:31,400 --> 00:31:34,360
Speaker 1: and you said, well, it doesn't smoke because it's going

622
00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:37,960
Speaker 1: through you, your calculverting and that's why it's not smoking.

623
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:41,760
Speaker 1: But and he's right, and he's right, he's right, Melvin.

624
00:31:41,800 --> 00:31:44,240
Speaker 1: It's going through the cat. The cats. The cats trying

625
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,920
Speaker 1: to oxidize down and reduce down the oil as it

626
00:31:46,960 --> 00:31:49,320
Speaker 1: passes through, which is why you don't see cars smoke blue,

627
00:31:49,320 --> 00:31:52,240
Speaker 1: but they will, they will burn oil. So let's let's

628
00:31:52,280 --> 00:31:55,480
Speaker 1: do this, all right. Let's look at let's let's ask

629
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:57,719
Speaker 1: them to go through the crank case ventilation system. It's

630
00:31:57,760 --> 00:32:00,760
Speaker 1: got the right PCV in it, the hoses working. The

631
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: port where the hose UH is connected to actually has

632
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:07,120
Speaker 1: manifold vacuum to it. In the words, let's verify crank

633
00:32:07,160 --> 00:32:10,240
Speaker 1: case ventilation, all right, that that it can actually breathe

634
00:32:10,280 --> 00:32:13,600
Speaker 1: out the crank case. All right, Let's see, let's see

635
00:32:13,640 --> 00:32:16,120
Speaker 1: what that does. If you have any doubt, you want

636
00:32:16,120 --> 00:32:19,120
Speaker 1: to try relieving crank case pressure, just for giggles. Pull

637
00:32:19,200 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: the dip stick up just a little bit, take the

638
00:32:21,520 --> 00:32:23,720
Speaker 1: dip stick out of the out of the tube, drive around.

639
00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:27,440
Speaker 1: That'll relieve well, yeah, that'll relieve crank case pressure. If

640
00:32:27,480 --> 00:32:30,320
Speaker 1: if the PCV is being overloaded. Just see, doesn't reduce

641
00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:34,120
Speaker 1: oil consumption, all right. Now, the other thing that that

642
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:37,880
Speaker 1: might do is that might reduce oil consumption. And part

643
00:32:37,880 --> 00:32:40,360
Speaker 1: of the issue here may become that this has sticky

644
00:32:40,440 --> 00:32:43,040
Speaker 1: rings stuck in the pistons. Tell you what, Melvin, sit tight.

645
00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:44,640
Speaker 1: I don't want to rush this. Let me pull over

646
00:32:44,680 --> 00:32:46,440
Speaker 1: and take a pause. I'll come back. We'll finish up,

647
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:48,400
Speaker 1: and I can get you back on the right track.

648
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:50,160
Speaker 1: I'm run on any of the car, doctor, I'll return

649
00:32:50,240 --> 00:33:04,760
Speaker 1: right after this. Welcome back, Welcome back. Let's get over, Melvin,

650
00:33:04,800 --> 00:33:08,640
Speaker 1: you're still there, sir, Melvin, Louisiana. Okay, So in a

651
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:10,520
Speaker 1: in a nutshell, Melvin, I want to make sure that

652
00:33:10,560 --> 00:33:13,720
Speaker 1: the PCV system isn't plugged or restricted, all right. I

653
00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:15,960
Speaker 1: want to make sure that's operating is designed if they

654
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: have to take the valve cover back off, just to

655
00:33:17,760 --> 00:33:19,680
Speaker 1: make sure if there a baffle plate, is there a

656
00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:23,600
Speaker 1: baffle plate that somehow got removed or moved out of position,

657
00:33:24,240 --> 00:33:26,360
Speaker 1: out of shape. You know, we we go through this

658
00:33:26,400 --> 00:33:28,320
Speaker 1: with hot rods. From time to time. Guys will bring

659
00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,880
Speaker 1: us cars that smoke, and we'll find they put new

660
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:33,160
Speaker 1: valve covers on and they don't have a baffle plate

661
00:33:33,240 --> 00:33:36,280
Speaker 1: or restrictor plate, and all that oil sloshing around up

662
00:33:36,280 --> 00:33:39,640
Speaker 1: top as the as the engine lubricates itself. And you know,

663
00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 1: we've had it where the lifters are actually spraying oil

664
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,360
Speaker 1: right into the throat of the PCV and creates all

665
00:33:44,480 --> 00:33:46,440
Speaker 1: kinds of issues. So if they're supposed to be a

666
00:33:46,440 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: baffle in that valve cover, let's make sure it's there.

667
00:33:49,200 --> 00:33:53,480
Speaker 1: That being said, what probably is wrong with this, as

668
00:33:53,560 --> 00:33:56,200
Speaker 1: much as you don't want to hear it, is stuck

669
00:33:56,240 --> 00:34:00,000
Speaker 1: oil control rings. All right, A compression test won't show

670
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:03,160
Speaker 1: ow it. It's more common than anything else on that

671
00:34:03,200 --> 00:34:07,880
Speaker 1: particular car once you get past PCV, Very very rare.

672
00:34:08,200 --> 00:34:10,600
Speaker 1: Is it that it's worn guides or stem seals up

673
00:34:10,600 --> 00:34:13,640
Speaker 1: at the top of the motor the You know, if

674
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:16,719
Speaker 1: the previous owner wasn't great on oil changes, and if

675
00:34:16,719 --> 00:34:19,240
Speaker 1: it was the proverbial little old lady, little old man,

676
00:34:19,640 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: and the car had thirty thousand miles after eighteen years

677
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:24,920
Speaker 1: of ownership. They probably changed the oil once every two

678
00:34:25,000 --> 00:34:29,840
Speaker 1: years and that creates varnish, that creates issues where the

679
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:33,640
Speaker 1: rings got stuck. It was a very low tension oil

680
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,480
Speaker 1: control ring in that generation vehicle and they had all

681
00:34:36,480 --> 00:34:41,719
Speaker 1: sorts of issues. So that being said, you can try

682
00:34:41,760 --> 00:34:45,000
Speaker 1: a de sledging agent, all right, take a look at

683
00:34:45,120 --> 00:34:48,880
Speaker 1: the local Molly website Local Molly dot liquid, desh Molly

684
00:34:48,960 --> 00:34:51,440
Speaker 1: dot com and see what they offer up there as

685
00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:53,560
Speaker 1: far as a de sledging agent to help maybe free

686
00:34:53,560 --> 00:34:56,080
Speaker 1: the rings up. Short of that, if that doesn't apply

687
00:34:56,239 --> 00:34:59,120
Speaker 1: or work, and the dipstick method doesn't help, then it's

688
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:02,640
Speaker 1: gonna be rering at Polo motor apart and um do

689
00:35:02,800 --> 00:35:04,440
Speaker 1: some rings and you can go through the head at

690
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: that point, but probably worth doing because the car is

691
00:35:06,960 --> 00:35:09,840
Speaker 1: generally that car generally lists a good long time. Appreciate

692
00:35:09,880 --> 00:35:11,800
Speaker 1: the call of Melvin until the next time. Good mechanics

693
00:35:11,840 --> 00:35:13,719
Speaker 1: aren't expensive, they're priceless. See you
