1
00:00:03,200 --> 00:00:06,360
Speaker 1: Ron Andanian the difference between cars today and cars, you know,

2
00:00:06,880 --> 00:00:10,560
Speaker 1: classic muscle cars fifty years ago. The car today that

3
00:00:10,560 --> 00:00:12,840
Speaker 1: that that new Corvette will do you know, zero a

4
00:00:12,920 --> 00:00:15,319
Speaker 1: hundre miles an hour in three seconds or fourth second,

5
00:00:15,400 --> 00:00:18,120
Speaker 1: whatever the number is. And it's it's it's effortless. It's

6
00:00:18,120 --> 00:00:30,000
Speaker 1: a course into their coming. By said, right up back

Speaker 1: was a serious XM channel because we could really talk.

31
00:01:49,520 --> 00:01:53,360
Speaker 1: But um article came out this week from John Dee

32
00:01:53,440 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: or John Deer are sendlers of opposition for legislators with

33
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: Bill's files. They're all saying the same thing that anyone

34
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:02,760
Speaker 1: that allow anyone other than John Dear Dealerships to repair

35
00:02:02,800 --> 00:02:06,000
Speaker 1: their vehicle their equipment will result in the unsafe operation

36
00:02:06,040 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 1: of its products, disruption of machine capabilities and performance, changes

37
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,839
Speaker 1: to a mission controls, voiding of warranties, YadA YadA, YadA,

38
00:02:11,919 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: YadA ya. The right to repair is coming up again

39
00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:19,960
Speaker 1: and this is bigger than you know. Who's gonna fix it?

40
00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:22,400
Speaker 1: If you read this article, and what I want you

41
00:02:22,440 --> 00:02:24,880
Speaker 1: to do is go out and google John Dear Right

42
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: to Repair tractor maintenance eighteen and look at this article,

43
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:32,680
Speaker 1: and I want you to read through it, and if

44
00:02:32,720 --> 00:02:35,440
Speaker 1: you get far enough down the list without going holy

45
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:39,200
Speaker 1: cow or something worse, you're gonna realize. What they're saying

46
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:42,320
Speaker 1: is when the tractor breaks down in the middle of

47
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:47,200
Speaker 1: the two acre farmers field or bigger and they can't

48
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:50,080
Speaker 1: get a repair technician out there to fix it, and

49
00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,640
Speaker 1: the farmer doesn't have the the the the training, or

50
00:02:53,639 --> 00:02:57,080
Speaker 1: the equipment or the knowledge or the repair procedure to

51
00:02:57,160 --> 00:03:02,400
Speaker 1: repair it, the crop goes bid. Think about that, the

52
00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:07,240
Speaker 1: crop goes bed. How long before the crop goes bed

53
00:03:07,600 --> 00:03:11,720
Speaker 1: there's a food shortage? Technology is doing us in and

54
00:03:11,760 --> 00:03:15,440
Speaker 1: the stupidity that we're backing it up with isn't helping either.

55
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:20,120
Speaker 1: Great article, really great article they talk about. The National

56
00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,640
Speaker 1: Grange agrees on behalf of our two or a thousand

57
00:03:22,680 --> 00:03:24,480
Speaker 1: members of the National Grange, we support the Right to

58
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:27,560
Speaker 1: Repair Act because we believe in an owner's right to maintain, service, repair,

59
00:03:27,919 --> 00:03:30,200
Speaker 1: and rebuild their vehicle or farming equipment on their own

60
00:03:30,320 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: quarter by the repair choice shop of their choice. Are

61
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:36,880
Speaker 1: members listen to this? Are members? This is farmers now.

62
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:40,240
Speaker 1: Farm members are located mostly in rural areas. Yeah, no kidding,

63
00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,760
Speaker 1: and they value their ability and freedom to fix and

64
00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,040
Speaker 1: repair their own vehicles, tractors, and other farm equipment. Listen,

65
00:03:46,080 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: you're at a farm. You're in the middle of nowhere.

66
00:03:48,200 --> 00:03:51,400
Speaker 1: It's not like you know, you're accessible to you know,

67
00:03:52,080 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: hearts and and and and you can get a technician

68
00:03:54,640 --> 00:03:59,520
Speaker 1: out there in in terms of uh, you know quick, right,

69
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:02,760
Speaker 1: if that tractors in the middle of the field and

70
00:04:02,920 --> 00:04:06,120
Speaker 1: it's stuck, it's broken, it's not operating, it's doing something wrong.

71
00:04:06,560 --> 00:04:08,800
Speaker 1: Farmers have been fixing their equipment in the middle of

72
00:04:08,800 --> 00:04:13,160
Speaker 1: their fields since before there was equipment. Right, the horse

73
00:04:13,240 --> 00:04:14,920
Speaker 1: lost the shoe, they shoot the horse in the middle

74
00:04:14,920 --> 00:04:17,880
Speaker 1: of the field, and they went back to work. I

75
00:04:18,240 --> 00:04:20,520
Speaker 1: think this is ludicrous. I I don't know what we're

76
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,919
Speaker 1: trying to accomplish by trying to lock them out, because

77
00:04:24,320 --> 00:04:27,320
Speaker 1: I've got to believe that, you know, once again, like

78
00:04:27,360 --> 00:04:30,320
Speaker 1: auto repair, there aren't enough John Dear dealerships to fix

79
00:04:30,360 --> 00:04:33,719
Speaker 1: all the tractors if they broke. More and more farmers,

80
00:04:33,720 --> 00:04:36,640
Speaker 1: the article continues, returning to the internet, thank God, to

81
00:04:36,720 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: learn how to repair their complex equipment. There, turning to

82
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,760
Speaker 1: websites like I Fix It to share techniques for maintaining equipment.

83
00:04:42,800 --> 00:04:45,000
Speaker 1: But that's not enough. We've got to start fighting for

84
00:04:45,040 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 1: the farmers. They deserve to be able to repair their

85
00:04:46,960 --> 00:04:49,280
Speaker 1: equipment quickly and on their own terms. We are working

86
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:52,279
Speaker 1: to pass fair repair legislations at the state level that

87
00:04:52,279 --> 00:04:54,000
Speaker 1: would put farmers back in control of the repair of

88
00:04:54,000 --> 00:04:58,600
Speaker 1: their own equipment, and we've successfully petitioned the Copyright Office

89
00:04:58,880 --> 00:05:01,680
Speaker 1: to carve out protect and for modifications and repairs made

90
00:05:01,680 --> 00:05:03,600
Speaker 1: the software and tractors will continue to fight for the

91
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:07,200
Speaker 1: rights of farmers repair what they own. This is serious.

92
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:11,479
Speaker 1: This is really serious because we're slowly coming to the

93
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:16,080
Speaker 1: point where if the farmer can't repair his equipment, we're

94
00:05:16,160 --> 00:05:19,200
Speaker 1: going to disrupt the food chain. And disrupting the food

95
00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 1: chain has so many implications of of disrupting the economy, food,

96
00:05:24,200 --> 00:05:27,880
Speaker 1: the grocery store, Um, you know, how are we gonna eat?

97
00:05:31,160 --> 00:05:32,800
Speaker 1: This is all about right to repair. The Rate to

98
00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:35,960
Speaker 1: Repair Act is an argument that goes back and forth

99
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:41,159
Speaker 1: between manufacturers and independent repair facilities that states that only

100
00:05:41,240 --> 00:05:43,160
Speaker 1: dealerships should have and there's a lot more to it

101
00:05:43,200 --> 00:05:46,600
Speaker 1: than just this, but only dealerships should have the necessary

102
00:05:46,680 --> 00:05:49,320
Speaker 1: right to repair information to maintain a vehicle for a

103
00:05:49,400 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: variety of reasons, among them software infringement and emission controls

104
00:05:53,640 --> 00:05:59,360
Speaker 1: and correct repair procedure. I'm pretty sure, in my opinion

105
00:06:00,360 --> 00:06:06,480
Speaker 1: that there are smart people in repair dealerships, car, tractor otherwise,

106
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: and smart people outside of repair facilities, car dealership, independent,

107
00:06:12,480 --> 00:06:15,280
Speaker 1: et cetera. Let the ships fall where they may give

108
00:06:15,320 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: everybody what they need to maintain whatever is they want

109
00:06:17,640 --> 00:06:19,960
Speaker 1: to work on, whether it's a car or tractor. And

110
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,280
Speaker 1: the reason the story quote my attention and the reason

111
00:06:22,320 --> 00:06:24,520
Speaker 1: you've got me talking about it up here on a

112
00:06:24,560 --> 00:06:27,720
Speaker 1: show called The Car Doctor, is because it's right to repair.

113
00:06:27,880 --> 00:06:30,960
Speaker 1: The Right to Repair Act has one And I believe

114
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:33,760
Speaker 1: this was in California, which kind of doesn't surprise me.

115
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:36,400
Speaker 1: And it was a conversation about California and nuts rolling downhill.

116
00:06:36,440 --> 00:06:39,320
Speaker 1: But I won't get into it here. Um just just

117
00:06:39,400 --> 00:06:44,360
Speaker 1: suffice it to say that things don't look good. Very upset,

118
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:47,520
Speaker 1: very very upset. I think we're in trouble, and I

119
00:06:47,520 --> 00:06:49,760
Speaker 1: think we all need to call our elected officials and

120
00:06:49,760 --> 00:06:54,480
Speaker 1: and ask them, you know, what's going on. The article

121
00:06:54,520 --> 00:06:56,800
Speaker 1: talks about before I can fix my tractor, we have

122
00:06:56,880 --> 00:07:00,280
Speaker 1: to fix the copyright law that's at Slate dot com.

123
00:07:00,279 --> 00:07:02,880
Speaker 1: They talk about it in a blog. Repair dot org

124
00:07:02,960 --> 00:07:07,120
Speaker 1: executive director is testifying fair Fair Repaired Nebraska. Tom. We

125
00:07:07,160 --> 00:07:11,320
Speaker 1: should get somebody from some of these organizations up here

126
00:07:11,320 --> 00:07:13,880
Speaker 1: to talk about this, because what happens right to repair

127
00:07:14,520 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 1: with tractors is surely gonna spill over if it hasn't

128
00:07:18,520 --> 00:07:21,720
Speaker 1: already in terms of right to repair with cars. And

129
00:07:22,960 --> 00:07:24,720
Speaker 1: let me tell you how bad things are here in

130
00:07:24,760 --> 00:07:27,360
Speaker 1: New Jersey, all right, And I'll speak from my corner

131
00:07:27,400 --> 00:07:29,560
Speaker 1: of the world, so I won't I won't project. I'm

132
00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,760
Speaker 1: not talking about you know, news media, which, by the way,

133
00:07:32,800 --> 00:07:35,520
Speaker 1: when you do Google search this story Farmers Right to

134
00:07:35,560 --> 00:07:38,960
Speaker 1: Repair Act, you're gonna come to a couple of websites.

135
00:07:39,560 --> 00:07:41,480
Speaker 1: Wired dot com was one of them. They won't let

136
00:07:41,520 --> 00:07:43,840
Speaker 1: you print from their website, which I don't understand. You're

137
00:07:43,880 --> 00:07:46,240
Speaker 1: reporting the news, Let's share the news. Why is it

138
00:07:46,280 --> 00:07:48,520
Speaker 1: such a control thing? They want to make you sign

139
00:07:48,560 --> 00:07:51,880
Speaker 1: up for an email address? Again, why we're sharing news here.

140
00:07:51,880 --> 00:07:55,720
Speaker 1: We're not trying to, you know, control anything. I sometimes

141
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,280
Speaker 1: I think the comments about the media controlling things to

142
00:07:58,360 --> 00:08:02,520
Speaker 1: a degree, you're accurate. Uh here in New Jersey, in

143
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:05,920
Speaker 1: North Jersey, they're losing repair shops. You can see it.

144
00:08:05,960 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: Guys are getting older. There's nobody coming in. The cost

145
00:08:08,560 --> 00:08:11,720
Speaker 1: to get into a repair shop business is very very high,

146
00:08:12,000 --> 00:08:15,200
Speaker 1: and there's there's less places to go. There's less there's

147
00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,680
Speaker 1: less training classes that people are attending. One of the

148
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:21,400
Speaker 1: national trainers I go in attend Chris's classes, Chris Lewis,

149
00:08:21,440 --> 00:08:24,320
Speaker 1: the boys from UM A t G. I go there

150
00:08:24,320 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: as many times as I can get there in a year.

151
00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,240
Speaker 1: And Chris spoke to me Thursday we talked their upcoming

152
00:08:29,280 --> 00:08:34,360
Speaker 1: November fourteen, fifteen class on CAN Communication Network Data Bus Information. Yep,

153
00:08:34,400 --> 00:08:37,960
Speaker 1: we're talking about fixing cars network. Can Communication Data Bus

154
00:08:38,160 --> 00:08:41,680
Speaker 1: is being seriously considered being canceled because not enough people

155
00:08:41,679 --> 00:08:43,800
Speaker 1: have signed up for it. They need a certain number

156
00:08:43,800 --> 00:08:46,200
Speaker 1: to make the numbers work. And I'm saying, but but

157
00:08:46,240 --> 00:08:49,880
Speaker 1: how can that be? Because you know the phone calls

158
00:08:49,880 --> 00:08:51,480
Speaker 1: that I get here, the phone calls I get at

159
00:08:51,480 --> 00:08:54,080
Speaker 1: the shop from shops that are asking me CAN data

160
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:56,480
Speaker 1: questions that make me say, well, I guess they really

161
00:08:56,520 --> 00:08:59,880
Speaker 1: need training, but they're not willing to go. The back

162
00:09:00,000 --> 00:09:01,840
Speaker 1: lot at the shop right now is about two two

163
00:09:01,840 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: and a half weeks and that's not abnormal. UM I'm

164
00:09:05,160 --> 00:09:07,600
Speaker 1: hearing stories of dealerships backed up a week and a half,

165
00:09:07,600 --> 00:09:10,920
Speaker 1: two weeks, and it seems like and I'll have to

166
00:09:10,960 --> 00:09:12,880
Speaker 1: lump myself in here and pat myself on the back

167
00:09:12,960 --> 00:09:16,240
Speaker 1: that the better shops are busy and the better shops

168
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:18,439
Speaker 1: are backed up because the complexity of the car has

169
00:09:18,480 --> 00:09:22,440
Speaker 1: gone up, and you know, it's about the repair shop

170
00:09:22,520 --> 00:09:27,080
Speaker 1: making that commitment to training, to to equipment, to establishing

171
00:09:27,120 --> 00:09:31,199
Speaker 1: procedures and things like right to repair or disrupting it.

172
00:09:31,400 --> 00:09:35,120
Speaker 1: Things like right to repair are creating issues where without

173
00:09:35,280 --> 00:09:39,120
Speaker 1: proper training and equipment, there's a problem. In the case

174
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:40,960
Speaker 1: of the car, well, you're not going to work tomorrow

175
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: your car is broken. In the case of the farmer,

176
00:09:43,600 --> 00:09:45,400
Speaker 1: all the tractor is not coming out of the field

177
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:49,000
Speaker 1: because the tractor is broken. But there's a bigger problem

178
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:51,000
Speaker 1: because we're not taking the food out of the field,

179
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:54,199
Speaker 1: and sooner or later that's going to catch up to us.

180
00:09:55,080 --> 00:09:59,920
Speaker 1: We're letting technology govern us, not governing technology. We're do

181
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: when it's backwards, folks, eight five, five six zero nine

182
00:10:03,440 --> 00:10:05,040
Speaker 1: zero zero. I'm running the name of the car doctor.

183
00:10:05,040 --> 00:10:06,560
Speaker 1: I'd like to hear your opinion, if you've got one.

184
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: This hour on it, or if you're listening to this

185
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:11,040
Speaker 1: visa a V podcast and you've got a thought, send

186
00:10:11,080 --> 00:10:12,920
Speaker 1: it to me Ron at Car Doctor show dot com.

187
00:10:12,920 --> 00:10:14,480
Speaker 1: I'd like to read it up here on air, but

188
00:10:14,559 --> 00:10:16,240
Speaker 1: we all need to be aware of Go out and

189
00:10:16,240 --> 00:10:20,880
Speaker 1: google John dear Farmer's Right to Repair eighteen. Read that story.

190
00:10:20,880 --> 00:10:22,960
Speaker 1: See if you can maintain your composure. I'll be back

191
00:10:23,040 --> 00:10:29,360
Speaker 1: right after this. He drives that way. But when it

192
00:10:29,360 --> 00:10:32,280
Speaker 1: comes to fixing cars, Ron has card advice done right

193
00:10:32,520 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 1: eight five five five six zero nine nine zero zero.

194
00:10:36,120 --> 00:10:38,679
Speaker 1: Here's Ron. Let's get over and talk to Sean and

195
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:40,920
Speaker 1: d Luth Minnesota and open the garage doors today, Shaw

196
00:10:40,960 --> 00:10:42,440
Speaker 1: and welcome to the Car Doctor. How can I help?

197
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:45,680
Speaker 1: All right? Say Ron, I spoke to you about a

198
00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:48,040
Speaker 1: month ago. I have got a ninety eight Chevy with

199
00:10:48,080 --> 00:10:51,240
Speaker 1: a five point seven leader in there, and I've been

200
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,520
Speaker 1: having this problem for oh maybe six months or so.

201
00:10:53,679 --> 00:10:58,960
Speaker 1: Now appeal wour some mean on those things. And what

202
00:10:59,080 --> 00:11:01,000
Speaker 1: I did, and I old you at the time, was

203
00:11:01,120 --> 00:11:03,200
Speaker 1: you know I sis. She started with cleaning the master

204
00:11:03,360 --> 00:11:08,199
Speaker 1: flow sensor and new fuel filter, new air filter, cleaned

205
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:12,160
Speaker 1: the throttle body, I cleared the codes with a O'Reilly

206
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:16,280
Speaker 1: gauge and everything came back within ten miles. And the

207
00:11:16,400 --> 00:11:19,079
Speaker 1: next step was to put new auction sensors in both

208
00:11:19,200 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: pre imposed converter new QC del PCV. THELL clear to

209
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:26,839
Speaker 1: codes came back again. Then I actually put a new

210
00:11:26,880 --> 00:11:30,600
Speaker 1: mass airflow sensor in, and I actually tried to check

211
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:36,200
Speaker 1: around the intake with with some carburetor cleaner and some

212
00:11:36,800 --> 00:11:39,520
Speaker 1: starting fluid and didn't get any change in our PM

213
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:42,400
Speaker 1: or anything. And and the last thing I did was

214
00:11:42,520 --> 00:11:45,480
Speaker 1: I replaced the vacuum hoses coming from the lockers into

215
00:11:45,520 --> 00:11:47,960
Speaker 1: the intake, and then the other one past your side

216
00:11:47,960 --> 00:11:50,800
Speaker 1: that went from that goes from the rocker into the

217
00:11:50,920 --> 00:11:55,520
Speaker 1: air intake before the throttle body there and you and

218
00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 1: when I called you said, you know, go via OB

219
00:11:58,480 --> 00:12:02,440
Speaker 1: to tester, and you know, go from there and use

220
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:07,319
Speaker 1: some protein and etcetera, etcetera. And I didn't borrow a

221
00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:13,559
Speaker 1: relatively cheap one, I guess from the mechanic And unfortunately

222
00:12:13,640 --> 00:12:16,680
Speaker 1: the live data function on this that it took data

223
00:12:16,760 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: like every three seconds, so I really couldn't use protein

224
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:22,000
Speaker 1: or all in the intake and get anything. But I

225
00:12:22,040 --> 00:12:26,000
Speaker 1: didn't register some readings the fuel trim on both bank

226
00:12:26,080 --> 00:12:29,560
Speaker 1: one and bank too. At that startup was reading like

227
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:32,800
Speaker 1: between nine and eleven percent, and then at nine degrees

228
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:36,120
Speaker 1: at the up to twenty four point nine percent. So

229
00:12:36,240 --> 00:12:38,440
Speaker 1: what I did was I went to local shop here

230
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:42,440
Speaker 1: for fifty bucks. And he's got a dollar snap on

231
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,640
Speaker 1: system there, I guess. And and we we did some

232
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: checks at idle and we we took it out in

233
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:54,920
Speaker 1: the road and um, we you know, he didn't really

234
00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,320
Speaker 1: come up with anything there, and we brought it back

235
00:12:58,320 --> 00:13:02,160
Speaker 1: into the shop. We tested fuel pressure was tested okay,

236
00:13:02,240 --> 00:13:06,439
Speaker 1: and we smoked tests at the intake system and in

237
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:10,480
Speaker 1: thought that there was a possible intake gasket leaked there,

238
00:13:10,520 --> 00:13:13,360
Speaker 1: and although nothing was confirmed, and I left and then

239
00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:15,920
Speaker 1: I came back the next day and I said, would

240
00:13:15,960 --> 00:13:18,199
Speaker 1: you be so good is to you know, hook the

241
00:13:18,400 --> 00:13:21,880
Speaker 1: meter up again and and you know, let's gas around

242
00:13:22,120 --> 00:13:25,800
Speaker 1: the intake and the hoses and stuff with your snap

243
00:13:25,880 --> 00:13:28,600
Speaker 1: on there and see if that's going to change anything.

244
00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,599
Speaker 1: And he said, yeah, you know, and so he did.

245
00:13:31,920 --> 00:13:35,440
Speaker 1: And you know, we we can't really find anything except

246
00:13:35,480 --> 00:13:38,560
Speaker 1: to say that he thinks it's an intake manifold gasket.

247
00:13:39,160 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: I think it's an intake manifold gasket, but I don't

248
00:13:42,360 --> 00:13:44,680
Speaker 1: want to tear into this thing, you know, unless I

249
00:13:44,720 --> 00:13:47,000
Speaker 1: get some better information. So I was looking for some

250
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,320
Speaker 1: other advice from you, if possible. Alright, So you know

251
00:13:50,360 --> 00:13:53,160
Speaker 1: the key here is what's fuel trim? Fuel trim? This

252
00:13:53,200 --> 00:13:58,000
Speaker 1: fault code sets better. So if just to refresh everybody,

253
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 1: if zero is balanced plus twenty when it gets the

254
00:14:02,720 --> 00:14:04,960
Speaker 1: it's setting a fault code on that bank. In this case,

255
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,640
Speaker 1: both banks are pretty equal. So we've got we've got

256
00:14:08,679 --> 00:14:11,720
Speaker 1: a lean code. Uh. You know, the question I've got

257
00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:15,080
Speaker 1: is where's it coming from? All right? If it's not

258
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,560
Speaker 1: vacuum lines, did you happen to try plugging the brake boosters?

259
00:14:18,640 --> 00:14:22,720
Speaker 1: Is a break booster or a hydro boost vehicle? H

260
00:14:22,920 --> 00:14:25,680
Speaker 1: that's a break booster. Could I have a small vacuum

261
00:14:25,720 --> 00:14:29,320
Speaker 1: leak in the brake booster creating this? Possible? All right?

262
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:34,440
Speaker 1: And we did gas but didn't see. But yeah, I

263
00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:36,680
Speaker 1: don't know if you'd see it, I would physically, I

264
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:39,000
Speaker 1: would just pull the line. I would pull the line

265
00:14:39,000 --> 00:14:42,360
Speaker 1: out of the booster and and plug it. And it

266
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:45,040
Speaker 1: might come to that shown you know, it might be

267
00:14:45,120 --> 00:14:48,960
Speaker 1: more than one line leak in creating the condition, So

268
00:14:49,200 --> 00:14:52,040
Speaker 1: it might be where unplugged the brake, booster cork the

269
00:14:52,080 --> 00:14:55,240
Speaker 1: line it might be where uncorked, you know, unplugged the

270
00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,760
Speaker 1: purge valve cork it so it can't draw in the air,

271
00:14:58,800 --> 00:15:01,560
Speaker 1: although you would think it would be drawing fumes and

272
00:15:01,600 --> 00:15:04,200
Speaker 1: making it rich. But just just to play it safe,

273
00:15:04,280 --> 00:15:08,120
Speaker 1: let's make this a basic engine, all right. If if

274
00:15:08,440 --> 00:15:11,280
Speaker 1: we get this to the point where no vacuum leaks

275
00:15:11,280 --> 00:15:15,360
Speaker 1: out of any any vacuum source, and we verified the

276
00:15:15,440 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: mass intake duct, make sure the duct itself is good. Right,

277
00:15:19,000 --> 00:15:22,720
Speaker 1: you looked at that, no cracks, no no leaks there. Um,

278
00:15:22,760 --> 00:15:25,040
Speaker 1: if you take this out on the road, have your

279
00:15:25,080 --> 00:15:27,640
Speaker 1: mechanic take it out on the road and bring up

280
00:15:27,680 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: calculated load. Did we talk about calculated load the last time?

281
00:15:32,920 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: I think we did, and I think and I think

282
00:15:35,960 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: you were seeing like it should be running between I'm

283
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:44,600
Speaker 1: not sure, right, he puts his basically, calculated load is

284
00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:48,240
Speaker 1: is a is a calculation like it says, based on

285
00:15:48,440 --> 00:15:55,080
Speaker 1: mass airflow sensor efficiency. Alright, inhale, Right, how well did

286
00:15:55,080 --> 00:15:57,400
Speaker 1: you do it? Everybody does it different, every car does

287
00:15:57,440 --> 00:15:59,880
Speaker 1: it different, but every car has to meet a certain standard.

288
00:16:00,360 --> 00:16:02,920
Speaker 1: So if we put our foot to the floor from

289
00:16:02,920 --> 00:16:06,320
Speaker 1: a ten mile kick and we're looking at calculated load.

290
00:16:06,720 --> 00:16:09,800
Speaker 1: We should see that that mass airflow center if it's

291
00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:13,400
Speaker 1: responding correctly and reporting all the air being pulled in,

292
00:16:13,960 --> 00:16:19,640
Speaker 1: that mass airflow sensor should report tile or better. All right,

293
00:16:20,320 --> 00:16:22,400
Speaker 1: if if, if you want to see an example of

294
00:16:22,440 --> 00:16:24,840
Speaker 1: it and learn the what's the word I'm looking for,

295
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:28,760
Speaker 1: learn the procedure correctly? Do it to a good car. See,

296
00:16:28,880 --> 00:16:31,000
Speaker 1: you know you understand if if if, if the car

297
00:16:31,040 --> 00:16:33,040
Speaker 1: has got good fuel trim, and you know you want

298
00:16:33,040 --> 00:16:35,400
Speaker 1: to learn how something should work. Test a good car.

299
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:38,040
Speaker 1: So your problem is you're testing a bad car, all right,

300
00:16:38,440 --> 00:16:40,680
Speaker 1: So but yeah, I want to know where's calculated load,

301
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: if mass airflow reports calculated load correct, if fuel pressure

302
00:16:44,360 --> 00:16:46,840
Speaker 1: is good, if volume is good, if there are no

303
00:16:46,960 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 1: vacuum leaks, if PCV isn't out of calibration creating a problem.

304
00:16:51,360 --> 00:16:54,280
Speaker 1: For that matter, plug the PCV, plug every vacuum line

305
00:16:54,320 --> 00:16:57,640
Speaker 1: you can get to. At that point, it's just an engine.

306
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:02,720
Speaker 1: And if that thing is still showing all dal and

307
00:17:02,720 --> 00:17:04,680
Speaker 1: the fact, I gotta tell you it just dawned on me.

308
00:17:04,920 --> 00:17:07,240
Speaker 1: If it's all vital, I doubt this is a vacuum leak.

309
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,960
Speaker 1: I think this is something else somewhere, and I'm going

310
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:13,399
Speaker 1: to think more along lines of intake. All right, maybe

311
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:15,439
Speaker 1: you want to crack this, you know, bring the throttle

312
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:19,760
Speaker 1: up the rpm. And when fuel trim is you want

313
00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:21,680
Speaker 1: to sit there and then hit it with the propane

314
00:17:21,720 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: because maybe it's pulling on the gaskets in such a

315
00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:28,720
Speaker 1: way that it's it's creating the condition. But propane fuel trim.

316
00:17:28,920 --> 00:17:31,280
Speaker 1: There's a reason why this thing is drawing and running

317
00:17:31,320 --> 00:17:34,440
Speaker 1: so lean and that'll that'll, that'll bring it to a conclusion.

318
00:17:34,760 --> 00:17:37,840
Speaker 1: Just gotta verify mass airflow is good. And you know,

319
00:17:37,880 --> 00:17:39,720
Speaker 1: even if you change it, I still check a mass

320
00:17:39,720 --> 00:17:42,040
Speaker 1: airflow because you know what new means never ever worked.

321
00:17:42,640 --> 00:17:45,480
Speaker 1: But you know that's there's there's no rocket science here.

322
00:17:45,680 --> 00:17:48,120
Speaker 1: I always think of if I could get it back

323
00:17:48,119 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: to a basic engine, or how as basic as I

324
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:53,040
Speaker 1: can get it with today's vehicles. You know, That's kind

325
00:17:53,040 --> 00:17:55,920
Speaker 1: of what I'm trying to do here. And sometimes the diagnose,

326
00:17:56,000 --> 00:17:58,680
Speaker 1: and I say this a lot lately, sometimes the diagnosed

327
00:17:58,720 --> 00:18:02,240
Speaker 1: it's differential diagnosed. Us. Tell me what's good, proved to me,

328
00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:06,000
Speaker 1: what's good, whatever's left that's gonna be bad. Go from there,

329
00:18:06,000 --> 00:18:07,800
Speaker 1: call me next week. Clemany make out. I'm on an

330
00:18:07,800 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: any in the car and doctor eight five five five

331
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: six zero zero. We're back right after this. When the

332
00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,959
Speaker 1: family car needs some fixing, there's only two things that

333
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:33,280
Speaker 1: really matter, getting the right part and getting some good advice.

334
00:18:33,840 --> 00:18:36,040
Speaker 1: It's a pretty safe bet that, with over a million

335
00:18:36,119 --> 00:18:39,120
Speaker 1: parts in stock, pet Boys has the right part right now.

336
00:18:39,560 --> 00:18:42,199
Speaker 1: The pet Boys Pros are extensively trained to find the

337
00:18:42,280 --> 00:18:45,360
Speaker 1: right part for just about any car or truck. Better yet,

338
00:18:45,640 --> 00:18:49,000
Speaker 1: these pros can also handle the entire installation or service needed.

339
00:18:49,320 --> 00:18:51,640
Speaker 1: It's always good to have options and no, the pet

340
00:18:51,680 --> 00:19:06,680
Speaker 1: Boys Pros had it covered either way. You and me both,

341
00:19:06,720 --> 00:19:12,200
Speaker 1: brother of the car Doctor here at zero zero zero. Um,

342
00:19:12,240 --> 00:19:13,719
Speaker 1: who was that time? I can't think of the name

343
00:19:13,720 --> 00:19:17,680
Speaker 1: of that group. That's uh, that's right, a C. D C.

344
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:21,080
Speaker 1: I was listening to Twisted Sister the other day. Do

345
00:19:21,119 --> 00:19:26,440
Speaker 1: you know where Twisted Sister came from? Focus, Yeah, like

346
00:19:26,520 --> 00:19:28,479
Speaker 1: the next town over from the shop. I was stunned

347
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:32,120
Speaker 1: to know that. I didn't realize that D. Snyder, when

348
00:19:32,200 --> 00:19:34,480
Speaker 1: I worked at a different radio station New York City,

349
00:19:34,520 --> 00:19:36,840
Speaker 1: actually came in an audition for Afternoon Drive. What a

350
00:19:36,880 --> 00:19:39,600
Speaker 1: great guy he is. Yeah, and he's a real car

351
00:19:39,640 --> 00:19:43,239
Speaker 1: guy too, real car guy. Speaking of car guys, I

352
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:45,879
Speaker 1: want you to also on your interview to get list.

353
00:19:46,440 --> 00:19:50,600
Speaker 1: There's a new show on Netflix, um Gotham Garage. Actually,

354
00:19:50,600 --> 00:19:53,359
Speaker 1: I think it's called Russ to Riches. It's about this

355
00:19:53,560 --> 00:19:57,000
Speaker 1: where they to Mecula to Mecula, California. I hope I'm

356
00:19:57,040 --> 00:20:00,719
Speaker 1: saying that right. T m um uh. The owner's name

357
00:20:00,800 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: is Mark Mark Towel's t O W L E. S.

358
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:05,400
Speaker 1: This is a really great show. They've only there's only

359
00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:07,680
Speaker 1: eight episodes on Netflix. Is a net it's a Netflix

360
00:20:07,760 --> 00:20:11,719
Speaker 1: only show. They'll take a junk car, let's fix it,

361
00:20:12,520 --> 00:20:16,480
Speaker 1: sell it. Take another junk take that car, fix that

362
00:20:16,640 --> 00:20:20,439
Speaker 1: up to something better, sell that, and within three or

363
00:20:20,480 --> 00:20:23,680
Speaker 1: four cars, they go from buying something for ten bucks,

364
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:27,200
Speaker 1: they've got a hundred fifty dollar cars. It's really kind

365
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,840
Speaker 1: of cool what they do they I was watching it

366
00:20:29,920 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 1: last night. They created that what did they called the

367
00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:39,040
Speaker 1: franken Van. They took a Volkswagen bus right away, I went, right,

368
00:20:39,080 --> 00:20:43,240
Speaker 1: they took a Volkswagen bus, cut it in half, right

369
00:20:44,160 --> 00:20:47,680
Speaker 1: they went and they traded a Junkyard motorcycle. They got

370
00:20:47,720 --> 00:20:50,920
Speaker 1: for free a Honda Goldwin Goldwin, Goldwin whatever, it is

371
00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:54,520
Speaker 1: whatever they took that. They got that for nothing. They

372
00:20:54,560 --> 00:20:56,600
Speaker 1: stripped it down. They made it look like a steam

373
00:20:56,760 --> 00:21:00,119
Speaker 1: powered motorcycle. It was really crazy. With one dollars the

374
00:21:00,160 --> 00:21:04,560
Speaker 1: copper and a beer keg right, they traded that for

375
00:21:05,400 --> 00:21:08,479
Speaker 1: a four fifty four big block Chevy with a blower

376
00:21:08,600 --> 00:21:11,600
Speaker 1: on it. They well did that into the floor of

377
00:21:11,600 --> 00:21:15,280
Speaker 1: the Volkswagen, shopped the roof of the volks I mean

378
00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:17,240
Speaker 1: it was nuts. And then they went out into the

379
00:21:17,280 --> 00:21:20,320
Speaker 1: desert and went they went flying along. Great, you gotta

380
00:21:20,359 --> 00:21:21,879
Speaker 1: get that guy. I want to talk to work Towels.

381
00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:23,960
Speaker 1: I think he'd be a fun interview. He really would.

382
00:21:24,119 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: It's um I hope they do more of that show.

383
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,119
Speaker 1: It's it's got my eye. Anyway, let's get over and

384
00:21:28,119 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: talk to Greg and Iowa sixteen JEP Cherokee. Greg, Welcome

385
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:36,800
Speaker 1: to the car doctor, Sir. How can I help my wife?

386
00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:40,280
Speaker 1: Uh sometimes like to put the floor or foot down

387
00:21:40,280 --> 00:21:42,879
Speaker 1: to the floor with their car. And one day she

388
00:21:42,960 --> 00:21:46,560
Speaker 1: was getting on on the freeway, made a hard left

389
00:21:46,560 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: turn to get on the on ramp, and as she

390
00:21:48,160 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: was making that hard current, uh, the engine died and

391
00:21:53,520 --> 00:21:57,360
Speaker 1: the traction control malfunction like came on. He pulled over

392
00:21:57,400 --> 00:21:59,120
Speaker 1: the star side of the roach at the engine off,

393
00:21:59,320 --> 00:22:03,680
Speaker 1: he started it. Everything came up, no warning light anymore,

394
00:22:04,560 --> 00:22:06,520
Speaker 1: and she was shaken up a little by it. She

395
00:22:06,640 --> 00:22:08,600
Speaker 1: drove off to the next exit and waited for me

396
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:10,840
Speaker 1: to come rescue her. And when I got there, I

397
00:22:10,880 --> 00:22:14,400
Speaker 1: couldn't find anything wrong with the car. The only thing

398
00:22:14,480 --> 00:22:17,480
Speaker 1: that I found that might have been out of lack

399
00:22:17,720 --> 00:22:21,359
Speaker 1: was I popped the fuse box open out under the

400
00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:26,240
Speaker 1: hood and I was able to give probably of the

401
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:30,120
Speaker 1: fuses underneath there just that extra little snap. Yeah, they're

402
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:33,879
Speaker 1: trying to work their way out, and of the car

403
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:38,200
Speaker 1: was was perfectly fine until last week. She was driving

404
00:22:38,840 --> 00:22:42,560
Speaker 1: down the interstate going only about fifty miles in a

405
00:22:42,560 --> 00:22:49,200
Speaker 1: heavy rain, and the traction control malfunction came on again

406
00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:56,160
Speaker 1: and then went off and nothing did nutschall that time.

407
00:22:57,840 --> 00:23:00,439
Speaker 1: They just kept it, just kept rolla we are at

408
00:23:00,480 --> 00:23:05,680
Speaker 1: this moment. Yeah, otherwise the car run fine. How many

409
00:23:06,080 --> 00:23:08,000
Speaker 1: the only time it's called is that first time? How

410
00:23:08,000 --> 00:23:12,480
Speaker 1: many miles on it? Greg? Uh? So you do a

411
00:23:12,520 --> 00:23:15,879
Speaker 1: fair fair amount of driving? Um? Are are are you

412
00:23:15,920 --> 00:23:19,760
Speaker 1: out in farm country in Iowa? Um? Sometimes we are

413
00:23:20,280 --> 00:23:23,760
Speaker 1: rough roads, dirty roads. Sometimes you got me do a

414
00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:27,040
Speaker 1: fair amount of driving on gravel. Not every day, but enough.

415
00:23:27,320 --> 00:23:29,679
Speaker 1: So let's talk about how does the traction control system

416
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:32,240
Speaker 1: on that car work. Like a lot of cars, they're

417
00:23:32,280 --> 00:23:37,359
Speaker 1: looking at the rotation or how fast their wheels are turning.

418
00:23:37,400 --> 00:23:39,760
Speaker 1: Each individual wheel. They're tracking it off the A B

419
00:23:39,960 --> 00:23:44,280
Speaker 1: S sensors or wheel speed sensors. So if one speed

420
00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:49,240
Speaker 1: sensor puts out an erroneous message or you know, changes,

421
00:23:49,560 --> 00:23:52,040
Speaker 1: it's it's signal, all of a sudden, the car thinks

422
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:55,199
Speaker 1: that that wheel is slowing down when it's not, and

423
00:23:55,200 --> 00:23:57,280
Speaker 1: it will put the car into a false abs or

424
00:23:57,320 --> 00:24:02,120
Speaker 1: traction control event. So, you know, one of the things

425
00:24:02,119 --> 00:24:04,880
Speaker 1: I've learned to look for on on on farm vehicles

426
00:24:04,960 --> 00:24:08,199
Speaker 1: quote unquote no no, no harm intended is put it

427
00:24:08,240 --> 00:24:10,200
Speaker 1: up in the air and just look at the wheel

428
00:24:10,200 --> 00:24:12,440
Speaker 1: speed sensors, look at the look at the tone rings

429
00:24:12,440 --> 00:24:14,159
Speaker 1: which should be on the outer end of the axle.

430
00:24:14,480 --> 00:24:17,640
Speaker 1: I believe they're exposed. Do any of them look damage

431
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,600
Speaker 1: packed with mud, packed with debris. You know, that's the

432
00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:23,800
Speaker 1: simple stuff. That's something you can do just to see,

433
00:24:24,200 --> 00:24:27,800
Speaker 1: you know, do we have good clear tone rings on

434
00:24:27,920 --> 00:24:31,120
Speaker 1: the vehicle. Then you know the next step would be

435
00:24:31,359 --> 00:24:33,920
Speaker 1: that I would and I like your idea about fuses.

436
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:37,240
Speaker 1: I'm seeing a lot of weird things with fuses and such.

437
00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: But you know, just our battery cable connections good clean

438
00:24:40,040 --> 00:24:43,960
Speaker 1: and tight. Are all grounds good clean and tight. And

439
00:24:44,200 --> 00:24:46,639
Speaker 1: my next step would be I'd want to dry and

440
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:48,760
Speaker 1: drive this, and I'd like to use a scope on

441
00:24:48,760 --> 00:24:51,560
Speaker 1: it versus a scan tool. Scan tool won't be fast enough.

442
00:24:52,240 --> 00:24:54,800
Speaker 1: And at least what we call wave out or pin

443
00:24:54,880 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: out the the four A, B S sensors and just

444
00:24:57,840 --> 00:25:00,280
Speaker 1: stack them up against each other. In other words, and

445
00:25:00,359 --> 00:25:02,679
Speaker 1: a B S sensor is gonna produce a voltage signal

446
00:25:03,160 --> 00:25:05,240
Speaker 1: if if we're traveling down the road at forty miles

447
00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:07,480
Speaker 1: an hour, wheels straight ahead, we should see an equal

448
00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:11,960
Speaker 1: signal from each sensor. Right, So if she's driving down

449
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: the road and all of a sudden, one signal, you know,

450
00:25:14,760 --> 00:25:18,159
Speaker 1: changes its size or how often it's it's changing uh

451
00:25:18,400 --> 00:25:20,639
Speaker 1: voltage from high to low, all of a sudden, the

452
00:25:20,640 --> 00:25:22,680
Speaker 1: computer takes that as a Hey, that wheel slip, and

453
00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,080
Speaker 1: let's apply the brakes, let's apply traction control. Let's try

454
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:28,520
Speaker 1: and keep the vehicle straight. And you know, the only

455
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,720
Speaker 1: accurate way you're gonna find and intermittent because Unfortunately, that's

456
00:25:31,760 --> 00:25:34,640
Speaker 1: what you obviously have. The the only way you're gonna

457
00:25:34,640 --> 00:25:36,679
Speaker 1: find that is hopefully the scope is gonna see it

458
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,880
Speaker 1: while it's hooked up, and if it's not, then you've

459
00:25:39,880 --> 00:25:43,480
Speaker 1: got another issue. One one one comment on the stalling.

460
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:48,080
Speaker 1: I'd also like to know you ever reboot a computer

461
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:51,920
Speaker 1: at home and you know you it's it's got this information. Well,

462
00:25:51,960 --> 00:25:53,800
Speaker 1: it's kind of what you're doing. You know, you've you've

463
00:25:53,840 --> 00:25:56,440
Speaker 1: got you've got this information on the desktop and then

464
00:25:56,440 --> 00:25:58,040
Speaker 1: it just sort of locks up and you've got to

465
00:25:58,040 --> 00:26:00,159
Speaker 1: reboot it, and you lost that information because as you

466
00:26:00,160 --> 00:26:05,320
Speaker 1: didn't save it. Car computers kind of do the same thing. Um,

467
00:26:05,440 --> 00:26:07,320
Speaker 1: you know, so you start to look at the numbers.

468
00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:09,480
Speaker 1: I like to look at fuel trim. I like to

469
00:26:09,560 --> 00:26:12,680
Speaker 1: look to see where monitors are, the self tests are.

470
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:14,320
Speaker 1: I want to see did it do some sort of

471
00:26:14,359 --> 00:26:18,720
Speaker 1: a complete reset. And if it did, what I start

472
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,280
Speaker 1: to think about is it lost power, lost power, it

473
00:26:21,359 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: lost ground, um, it lost connectivity to some to electrical

474
00:26:25,560 --> 00:26:27,520
Speaker 1: one end or the other. And it it put that

475
00:26:27,600 --> 00:26:29,399
Speaker 1: vehicle into a reset, it would be the same thing

476
00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:32,959
Speaker 1: as if the battery was disconnected years ago. And the

477
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:36,720
Speaker 1: principle is still the same we had a nineties six suburban.

478
00:26:36,760 --> 00:26:39,800
Speaker 1: I never forgot this truck that every time it would

479
00:26:39,840 --> 00:26:43,520
Speaker 1: hit a pothole, it would stall only when it was cold.

480
00:26:44,760 --> 00:26:46,840
Speaker 1: And I worked on that truck for the better part

481
00:26:46,880 --> 00:26:48,879
Speaker 1: of a week, and I kind of went around and

482
00:26:48,920 --> 00:26:50,920
Speaker 1: around and around, and I couldn't duplicate it. And then

483
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:53,080
Speaker 1: one day I went back to let me make sure

484
00:26:53,080 --> 00:26:55,040
Speaker 1: the battery terminals are as clean as I think they are,

485
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,120
Speaker 1: because I had wiggled him. But you know, I didn't

486
00:26:57,119 --> 00:27:00,919
Speaker 1: take them apart. Silly me. I want to take the

487
00:27:00,960 --> 00:27:04,320
Speaker 1: one terminal apart. And at first the nut was really tight.

488
00:27:04,359 --> 00:27:06,439
Speaker 1: It was a side terminal, and it fought me. And

489
00:27:06,440 --> 00:27:10,280
Speaker 1: then all of a sudden it fell out the the

490
00:27:10,600 --> 00:27:12,359
Speaker 1: ends of the pulk, just throw it fell out of

491
00:27:12,359 --> 00:27:15,679
Speaker 1: the battery case. And what happened was, you know, the

492
00:27:15,720 --> 00:27:18,480
Speaker 1: battery case was leaking acid. It had eroded away that

493
00:27:19,040 --> 00:27:21,560
Speaker 1: the stud and the nutting um. It just made a

494
00:27:21,560 --> 00:27:25,200
Speaker 1: poor connection under the right impact under a cold operating

495
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:27,440
Speaker 1: an engine, because an engine, even with all these computers,

496
00:27:27,480 --> 00:27:30,960
Speaker 1: is still operating, you know, it's still operating under durest

497
00:27:31,040 --> 00:27:34,400
Speaker 1: until it's warmed up like any other mechanical device, and

498
00:27:34,480 --> 00:27:36,560
Speaker 1: just the right bump, the right flick of the wrist,

499
00:27:36,640 --> 00:27:40,240
Speaker 1: and that car would shut off. Just make sure battery

500
00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:45,639
Speaker 1: cables connections are good, clean and tight, and it probably

501
00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:49,400
Speaker 1: wouldn't hurt. And this will sound silly, but I'll hook

502
00:27:49,400 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: a vaultmeter up to a battery, and if I can,

503
00:27:51,960 --> 00:27:55,960
Speaker 1: I will gently g E N T L Y, gently

504
00:27:56,920 --> 00:27:59,399
Speaker 1: tap the sides of the battery with a rubber mallet.

505
00:28:00,800 --> 00:28:03,000
Speaker 1: I'm looking for shock impact. I'm looking to see if

506
00:28:03,000 --> 00:28:06,080
Speaker 1: the voltage changes or drops or in any way varies

507
00:28:06,119 --> 00:28:09,280
Speaker 1: from what it's supposed to be or is. And you know,

508
00:28:09,400 --> 00:28:11,480
Speaker 1: just just looking to see to that battery makes some

509
00:28:11,520 --> 00:28:15,920
Speaker 1: sort of a spike. Alright, sir, Okay, so good. I remember.

510
00:28:15,920 --> 00:28:17,960
Speaker 1: I remember, I'm a broadcast engineer. I'm a talking out

511
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:20,560
Speaker 1: of chat broadcast equipment gently with a hammer. Yeah, so

512
00:28:20,600 --> 00:28:22,800
Speaker 1: you know you've got then Tom Ray can Tom Ray

513
00:28:22,800 --> 00:28:25,200
Speaker 1: can explain the gentle Well, he can't explain the gentle part,

514
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,600
Speaker 1: but he knows about the hammer. Park. So I gotta go.

515
00:28:27,640 --> 00:28:29,679
Speaker 1: I'm up against the clock, Tom yelling at me. You

516
00:28:29,920 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: let us know what happens, all right, Greg, take good care.

517
00:28:33,520 --> 00:28:36,480
Speaker 1: Five zero nine zero zero, Tom, I see you're getting

518
00:28:36,480 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: your relatives to call. Now, we'll be back right after this.

519
00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:46,400
Speaker 1: Back Brian the cardact. Let it over. Talk to Dave.

520
00:28:46,440 --> 00:28:49,520
Speaker 1: Holy yoak mass that holy yoak mass. Yeah, I think so, Dave.

521
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,320
Speaker 1: How are you welcome back? You never you never found

522
00:28:51,320 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: that CRT screen? Huh yeah, yeah, I am a found

523
00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:57,360
Speaker 1: one that day. Like I told you, the one you

524
00:28:57,480 --> 00:29:00,440
Speaker 1: turned me on too, he had nothing but doing the

525
00:29:00,520 --> 00:29:03,080
Speaker 1: guts aren't the same or anything. Try this guy. This

526
00:29:03,160 --> 00:29:05,600
Speaker 1: is the only other guy I could think of. Alright,

527
00:29:06,320 --> 00:29:10,320
Speaker 1: let me write something down here. Eastern Electronics used to

528
00:29:10,360 --> 00:29:13,240
Speaker 1: be one of the biggest GM repair facilities on the

529
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,600
Speaker 1: East Coast going back twenty years ago. And when they

530
00:29:16,640 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: shut down I think fifteen years ago, THEO, the head tech,

531
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,280
Speaker 1: took over the business. And I actually think he's working

532
00:29:22,280 --> 00:29:24,400
Speaker 1: out of his house or in a commercial building close

533
00:29:24,440 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: to his house in Elmwood Park, New Jersey. If THEO

534
00:29:28,360 --> 00:29:30,920
Speaker 1: can't fix it, you know, maybe he's got a line

535
00:29:30,960 --> 00:29:32,760
Speaker 1: on it. I'm not really sure if I'm helping you

536
00:29:32,880 --> 00:29:35,160
Speaker 1: or hurting you or um just trying to send you

537
00:29:35,200 --> 00:29:40,640
Speaker 1: in a direction everything two oh one, three three four

538
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:47,640
Speaker 1: two three nine four five. And I came across somebody

539
00:29:47,640 --> 00:29:50,440
Speaker 1: that told me there was a guy from Buffalo that

540
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: you know, we built him, guaranteed him for a couple

541
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,720
Speaker 1: of years, and then you know, I was gonna take

542
00:29:55,760 --> 00:29:57,920
Speaker 1: my hold and out and send it to him and

543
00:29:57,960 --> 00:30:00,640
Speaker 1: put the new one in. And but I never was

544
00:30:00,680 --> 00:30:03,800
Speaker 1: able to find out where he was. There's gotta be

545
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,560
Speaker 1: I find it very hard to believe that, you know,

546
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:10,160
Speaker 1: they're just all gone, you know, you know, I think

547
00:30:10,160 --> 00:30:12,840
Speaker 1: the whole thing is that the Oldsmobile is totally different

548
00:30:12,880 --> 00:30:17,280
Speaker 1: from the Buick, And funny I probably ran about the same, right,

549
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:21,000
Speaker 1: I think Cattillac one time added too. You know, I wonder,

550
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,440
Speaker 1: you know, maybe you gotta hunt. It's it's like you

551
00:30:23,520 --> 00:30:26,360
Speaker 1: gotta hunt where there's where there's bigger fish, so to speak.

552
00:30:26,440 --> 00:30:29,560
Speaker 1: And you wonder what's in and around Los Angeles. My gosh,

553
00:30:29,560 --> 00:30:32,080
Speaker 1: the car culture around Los Angeles is so huge. You've

554
00:30:32,120 --> 00:30:34,640
Speaker 1: got to think that somebody on the West Coast either

555
00:30:34,720 --> 00:30:38,320
Speaker 1: has you know, some parts stored away or uh you know,

556
00:30:38,520 --> 00:30:41,600
Speaker 1: and that's and that's part of the problem too, right that. Listen.

557
00:30:41,640 --> 00:30:43,200
Speaker 1: I know a guy around here in New Jersey. He

558
00:30:43,240 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: supposedly he's got fourteen, four or nine Chevy engines he's

559
00:30:46,480 --> 00:30:50,000
Speaker 1: hoarding for good only knows what reason. He's seventy five

560
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,160
Speaker 1: years old. He says he's gonna he's gonna use him

561
00:30:52,160 --> 00:30:53,760
Speaker 1: one day. I'm like, dude, you better do it soon.

562
00:30:53,840 --> 00:30:58,600
Speaker 1: You know, it's time slipping away. Uh yeah, million years ago, right,

563
00:30:58,640 --> 00:31:01,280
Speaker 1: I just I just you know, but that's yeah, that's

564
00:31:01,800 --> 00:31:05,680
Speaker 1: you wonder what do I get many calls from the

565
00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,680
Speaker 1: West Coast? Yeah, we've gotten West coast. We have West

566
00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,800
Speaker 1: coast phone calls and UM so we are on the

567
00:31:09,800 --> 00:31:11,720
Speaker 1: West coast, so they're they're hearing us out there, and

568
00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,200
Speaker 1: then the podcast numbers take us around the world. So

569
00:31:14,640 --> 00:31:16,880
Speaker 1: you would think, and let's let's make a plea here

570
00:31:16,920 --> 00:31:22,040
Speaker 1: if anybody's got any information Olds Toronado Trafeo Dave from

571
00:31:22,040 --> 00:31:24,960
Speaker 1: Masses looking for the CRT screen, which is the color

572
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: touch screen. Another GM idea UM GM Giant mistakes that

573
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,080
Speaker 1: UM was used to control the climate control radio. Right,

574
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:36,000
Speaker 1: what else did it do? It does everything, but it's

575
00:31:36,280 --> 00:31:39,680
Speaker 1: it completely analyzed the whole car when you first started

576
00:31:39,720 --> 00:31:43,880
Speaker 1: the car. Yeah, you know, they heat the light everything. Yeah.

577
00:31:44,120 --> 00:31:47,440
Speaker 1: UM just really way out there in the future. They were, Yeah,

578
00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,520
Speaker 1: I mean I can I can drive it without it,

579
00:31:49,600 --> 00:31:51,400
Speaker 1: but you know, I gotta you know I gotta find

580
00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,520
Speaker 1: my way. Yeah, but you know what it's that was

581
00:31:53,560 --> 00:31:55,880
Speaker 1: the fun of it. Uh, that was the fun of

582
00:31:55,880 --> 00:31:58,640
Speaker 1: the whole car. So it uh, hey listen sometimes real

583
00:31:58,680 --> 00:32:00,320
Speaker 1: quick and then I gotta go. But we had a

584
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:03,000
Speaker 1: we have ave Chevy Tahoe in the shop. It needs

585
00:32:03,200 --> 00:32:05,400
Speaker 1: it needs a front differential. It just makes you feel

586
00:32:05,400 --> 00:32:08,360
Speaker 1: any better. It's not just old old different things. Needs

587
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,880
Speaker 1: a front differential. We wanted to We wanted to buy

588
00:32:10,920 --> 00:32:14,080
Speaker 1: the whole assembly. Fifty one mile real clean truck. GM

589
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:17,200
Speaker 1: doesn't make it anymore six years old. You figure it out. Yeah,

590
00:32:17,600 --> 00:32:19,080
Speaker 1: you know they get rid of parts so quick. Hey,

591
00:32:19,160 --> 00:32:20,920
Speaker 1: let's just buy another one day. If I gotta go,

592
00:32:20,960 --> 00:32:22,560
Speaker 1: I'm up against the clock. Let's see if that does

593
00:32:22,600 --> 00:32:27,880
Speaker 1: anything for you. Good luck with THEO and Eastern Electronics zero.

594
00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:33,280
Speaker 1: The car Doctor is coming back right after this. Hey,

595
00:32:33,320 --> 00:32:35,000
Speaker 1: welcome back right on any of the car Doctor, Tony.

596
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:36,320
Speaker 1: I just want to say hello. It's a pleasure to

597
00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,880
Speaker 1: look across the glass and see you this week. Pleasures

598
00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,560
Speaker 1: I've missed you, dear. Yeah, so you know you're you're

599
00:32:42,560 --> 00:32:46,840
Speaker 1: holding up all okay so far? Look the New York Giants.

600
00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: I know where you were going with this, Okay, I

601
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,959
Speaker 1: just want to make sure you know you got up

602
00:32:54,960 --> 00:32:56,800
Speaker 1: on those railroad tracks last week. We heard you were

603
00:32:56,800 --> 00:32:59,520
Speaker 1: holding up all the trains walking down the tracks. No, no, no,

604
00:33:00,040 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: I'm been a New York Giant fan for forty eight years.

605
00:33:02,560 --> 00:33:04,040
Speaker 1: I know how they are. I have to take them

606
00:33:04,040 --> 00:33:07,560
Speaker 1: at face value. Okay, So I'm not gonna jump off

607
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:10,560
Speaker 1: the cliff or you know, from myself in front of

608
00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,120
Speaker 1: a locomotive. This because the Giants of Scrubs look at

609
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:14,880
Speaker 1: this way a least you're not a Mets fan. That's

610
00:33:15,120 --> 00:33:17,560
Speaker 1: that's that's right, that's true. Now, what if we took

611
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,560
Speaker 1: players from the midst the Yankees, the Jets, and the Giants,

612
00:33:20,560 --> 00:33:22,120
Speaker 1: we can make one team. We just got figured what

613
00:33:22,120 --> 00:33:24,960
Speaker 1: support that would be. It's not it. No, no, no,

614
00:33:25,400 --> 00:33:28,120
Speaker 1: it won't work. You know in New York we still need,

615
00:33:28,320 --> 00:33:31,960
Speaker 1: uh the frustration for routing for the Yankees, the Giants

616
00:33:32,120 --> 00:33:37,920
Speaker 1: or or you know, yeah, I at least we're not

617
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:42,560
Speaker 1: Baltimore Orioles fans. Yes, sixty games out of first place,

618
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:45,200
Speaker 1: all Cleveland Browns fans, even though Cleveland just beat the

619
00:33:45,240 --> 00:33:47,240
Speaker 1: Jets this past Thursday night, and and we're so far

620
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,400
Speaker 1: off the subject the cars real quick, folks, did you

621
00:33:49,480 --> 00:33:52,040
Speaker 1: hear the part about I didn't know this, but in Cleveland,

622
00:33:52,600 --> 00:33:56,680
Speaker 1: Budweiser had all these little refrigerators in the bars and

623
00:33:56,720 --> 00:34:00,400
Speaker 1: they were electronically locked. And when the Jets law, when

624
00:34:00,440 --> 00:34:04,320
Speaker 1: Cleveland one to beat the Jets, free beer for everybody,

625
00:34:04,320 --> 00:34:09,680
Speaker 1: they electronically unlocked, firelessly unlocked all the refrigerators and everybody

626
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:13,200
Speaker 1: got free beer. Unfortunately it was old beer because it

627
00:34:13,239 --> 00:34:15,920
Speaker 1: was in there over a year, uh three six and

628
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:20,000
Speaker 1: thirty something days. Yeah, so that's um, yeah, just crazy

629
00:34:20,040 --> 00:34:22,120
Speaker 1: stun the way, Tony, thanks for being here today. You

630
00:34:22,160 --> 00:34:24,480
Speaker 1: get to look at Ron instead of me, and well,

631
00:34:24,520 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: of course it's it's vice versa because I don't have

632
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:29,040
Speaker 1: to see Tom anymore. Um, of course it's kind of

633
00:34:29,040 --> 00:34:32,200
Speaker 1: blinding in there when they both anyway, UM, I want

634
00:34:32,200 --> 00:34:33,799
Speaker 1: to talk about this real quick because of all the

635
00:34:33,800 --> 00:34:35,839
Speaker 1: fires out west. I never thought about this, but well,

636
00:34:35,880 --> 00:34:38,759
Speaker 1: the forest fires going on in California and this comes

637
00:34:38,760 --> 00:34:41,360
Speaker 1: to us courtesy of the Car Care Council. With forest

638
00:34:41,400 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 1: fires continuing to burn throughout the West, and nonprofit Car

639
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:45,600
Speaker 1: Care Council in marks car owners to have their cabin

640
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:48,920
Speaker 1: air filters inspected and changed regularly. You know, that's actually

641
00:34:49,080 --> 00:34:52,360
Speaker 1: very true, and especially this time of year, heading into winter,

642
00:34:52,400 --> 00:34:54,920
Speaker 1: because today is today's first day of faller tomorrow, today's

643
00:34:54,960 --> 00:34:56,799
Speaker 1: first day of fall. Um. You know, we've gotta start

644
00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,560
Speaker 1: thinking about we're gonna be in a closed cabin. We

645
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:00,839
Speaker 1: just went through the summer. Um, it's time to think

646
00:35:00,840 --> 00:35:03,280
Speaker 1: about changing the cabin air filter if we haven't already.

647
00:35:03,760 --> 00:35:06,479
Speaker 1: Rich White, the executive director of the Car Care Council, says,

648
00:35:06,480 --> 00:35:08,479
Speaker 1: and he's correct. With the amount of smoking debris caused

649
00:35:08,480 --> 00:35:10,719
Speaker 1: by forest fires, it is very likely the cabin air

650
00:35:10,760 --> 00:35:13,440
Speaker 1: filters in the vicinity of been severely affected, not to

651
00:35:13,560 --> 00:35:16,480
Speaker 1: mention vehicle air filters too, So if you're in a

652
00:35:16,520 --> 00:35:20,160
Speaker 1: part of the country forest fires, heaven forbid, um, lots

653
00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:21,960
Speaker 1: of debreed dirt and dust in the air, it's time

654
00:35:22,000 --> 00:35:24,880
Speaker 1: to start thinking about them. It's time to start thinking about,

655
00:35:25,080 --> 00:35:28,320
Speaker 1: you know, changing filters like that. More information at carcare
