It's if 75 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:56,520 Speaker 1: it's off its track and train of thought. But I 76 00:03:56,520 --> 00:03:58,280 Speaker 1: do want to have a serious conversation about what goes 77 00:03:58,320 --> 00:04:01,360 Speaker 1: wrong on the repair shop. And you know, every once 78 00:04:01,360 --> 00:04:02,720 Speaker 1: in a while, and I've talked to you about this, 79 00:04:03,120 --> 00:04:06,400 Speaker 1: we have those those five o'clock fridays where where things 80 00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:10,040 Speaker 1: get completely just like, oh my god, the wheels fall 81 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:13,000 Speaker 1: off the bus and it becomes a clown festival. It's 82 00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,039 Speaker 1: just like what went wrong yesterday was one of those fridays. 83 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,919 Speaker 1: About four or fifteen. Danny and I were trying to 84 00:04:20,960 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: finish up, trying to get our cars done for the week, 85 00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:25,120 Speaker 1: and we knew everything that had to go and what 86 00:04:25,200 --> 00:04:27,760 Speaker 1: the list was, and it was it was getting close. 87 00:04:29,320 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: Two cars left. One of them was a two thousand 88 00:04:32,440 --> 00:04:36,640 Speaker 1: and eight Chevy Trailblazer that had to have the third 89 00:04:36,640 --> 00:04:39,159 Speaker 1: break light replaced. You know, the high mounted stop lamp 90 00:04:39,200 --> 00:04:42,480 Speaker 1: assembly pretty clear cut. We ordered a new piece from GM. 91 00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:45,960 Speaker 1: Not cheap to winter Bucks. Um, they're not bashful, and 92 00:04:46,560 --> 00:04:49,880 Speaker 1: you know, proceeded to take the rear upper declad area 93 00:04:49,880 --> 00:04:53,360 Speaker 1: apart to replace it. Well, the grommet that goes through 94 00:04:53,400 --> 00:04:55,720 Speaker 1: the body is bigger than the hole that the wire 95 00:04:55,800 --> 00:04:57,440 Speaker 1: comes out of. And you sit there and you look 96 00:04:57,480 --> 00:04:59,280 Speaker 1: at it and you go, g, I wonder how you're 97 00:04:59,279 --> 00:05:01,120 Speaker 1: supposed to take that apart, And you start thinking to 98 00:05:01,120 --> 00:05:03,240 Speaker 1: yourself that they want you to take the glass off, 99 00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:07,080 Speaker 1: and then you realize the trick becomes that you undo 100 00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,960 Speaker 1: the wing and sort of sneak it out from underneath. 101 00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:12,279 Speaker 1: But in the meantime, those six seven minutes of the 102 00:05:12,320 --> 00:05:15,400 Speaker 1: clock is tick tick ticking. By getting the five o'clock 103 00:05:15,440 --> 00:05:18,159 Speaker 1: on Friday, you're like, oh God, please, let's just get 104 00:05:18,160 --> 00:05:21,120 Speaker 1: this car done and get it out of here. The 105 00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:24,360 Speaker 1: other car that had to go was this Hans to 106 00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:26,480 Speaker 1: CRV and that was the one that really took up 107 00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,400 Speaker 1: more of the time. It was simple. It needed a battery. 108 00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:32,680 Speaker 1: We had just finished doing a service to it, four tires, fluids, 109 00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:35,719 Speaker 1: filters and so on, and it needed a battery. So, 110 00:05:36,720 --> 00:05:40,760 Speaker 1: you know, Danny, like he's done a million times before. 111 00:05:40,760 --> 00:05:43,400 Speaker 1: It takes out the O B D two memory saver, 112 00:05:43,520 --> 00:05:47,200 Speaker 1: plugs it into the diagnostic poured under the dashboard, swaps 113 00:05:47,200 --> 00:05:48,960 Speaker 1: out the battery and you do that to wold the 114 00:05:49,080 --> 00:05:51,479 Speaker 1: presets in the vehicle. Right. We talked about that a 115 00:05:51,520 --> 00:05:54,520 Speaker 1: lot here, you and I we've mentioned this time and 116 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,120 Speaker 1: time again. How many batteries have we talked about replacing 117 00:05:57,240 --> 00:06:00,200 Speaker 1: the procedures and memory saving and it just goes on 118 00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:06,640 Speaker 1: and on and on, and we yea change the battery, 119 00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:09,760 Speaker 1: put the memory saver off. Then he got in the car, 120 00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:14,520 Speaker 1: started up, take it up, it up front. Nothing. It 121 00:06:14,720 --> 00:06:18,560 Speaker 1: was just dead. I could say it's dead as the 122 00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,520 Speaker 1: Giant's offense, but I don't want to go there. It 123 00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:22,840 Speaker 1: was just there was nothing going on. There was just 124 00:06:23,720 --> 00:06:26,520 Speaker 1: the only thing that worked in this car was the horn. 125 00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: It's very strange. You're saying to yourself, is the new 126 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: battery bad? But it can't be. The horns work and 127 00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:37,680 Speaker 1: no lights, no, no, you turn the key. Nothing happens, 128 00:06:37,720 --> 00:06:43,080 Speaker 1: just dead. It's gotta be a blown fuse, something popped somewhere. 129 00:06:43,120 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: But why would it pop with the memory saver? And 130 00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:48,719 Speaker 1: if you're a Honda owner, I want you to remember this. 131 00:06:48,839 --> 00:06:51,040 Speaker 1: I want you to burn this in your brain, especially 132 00:06:51,080 --> 00:06:53,080 Speaker 1: if you're a fift CRV. I can't say, oh, late 133 00:06:53,120 --> 00:06:56,159 Speaker 1: model Hondas are gonna pop this very fuse. But I 134 00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:59,440 Speaker 1: was just stunned to see this weakness, this Achilles heel 135 00:06:59,520 --> 00:07:01,760 Speaker 1: and the VA. Did Honda lineup that? Oh my gosh, 136 00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:05,160 Speaker 1: handa never makes a mistake, right, Honda had one? Never 137 00:07:05,200 --> 00:07:10,960 Speaker 1: did again. It turns out if you follow the wiring diagram, 138 00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:12,840 Speaker 1: you get out of power distribution diagram and you look 139 00:07:12,920 --> 00:07:14,440 Speaker 1: up through the A L D L connector and you 140 00:07:14,560 --> 00:07:17,440 Speaker 1: follow it up through the float chart. Before it gets 141 00:07:17,480 --> 00:07:21,120 Speaker 1: to the starter, it goes through two fuses, a ten 142 00:07:21,240 --> 00:07:25,280 Speaker 1: AM fuse fuse number nine and a one and twenty 143 00:07:25,280 --> 00:07:29,400 Speaker 1: am fuse built into the box. Wow, look at this? 144 00:07:29,560 --> 00:07:32,840 Speaker 1: What what the heck is A one A little ten 145 00:07:32,960 --> 00:07:36,120 Speaker 1: am fuse that goes It's part of the starter circuit. 146 00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,720 Speaker 1: Why would that? You know that's the only fuse in 147 00:07:41,760 --> 00:07:44,160 Speaker 1: the system besides the big one. The hunter and twenty amper. 148 00:07:44,240 --> 00:07:46,480 Speaker 1: I said, you know, let me go. I it's it's 149 00:07:46,600 --> 00:07:48,480 Speaker 1: under the hood. You have to get out the underhood cover. 150 00:07:48,840 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: You pull out A nine is tucked down to the 151 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,720 Speaker 1: bottom right hand corner of the box. Sure enough, the 152 00:07:54,760 --> 00:07:57,040 Speaker 1: fuse is blown. Take the fuse out and it's a 153 00:07:57,080 --> 00:08:00,040 Speaker 1: micro fuse. Boy, here's where that traveling salesman that's on 154 00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,120 Speaker 1: that new fuse pack a year ago or in his keep. 155 00:08:02,240 --> 00:08:04,120 Speaker 1: Right here it is now. It's ten to five on 156 00:08:04,160 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: a Fridays, tick tick tick tick ticking away, and I'm going, 157 00:08:06,600 --> 00:08:09,720 Speaker 1: oh boy, um. Went into the back room, got out 158 00:08:09,720 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: the fuse box assortment and sure enough had a little micro. 159 00:08:12,760 --> 00:08:15,240 Speaker 1: I think it's a micro. It's a little tiny. The 160 00:08:15,240 --> 00:08:18,280 Speaker 1: spades are recessed into the fuse, swapped it out, the 161 00:08:18,280 --> 00:08:23,040 Speaker 1: car started. But I was so insessed by what what 162 00:08:23,200 --> 00:08:25,600 Speaker 1: would make that do that? And I sent and looked 163 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:28,040 Speaker 1: at the wiring diagram. I called. I called one of 164 00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,160 Speaker 1: the techlines that we subscribed to to sit and pick 165 00:08:30,200 --> 00:08:32,880 Speaker 1: somebody else's brain, and I was stunned by the answer 166 00:08:32,920 --> 00:08:35,040 Speaker 1: I got from them. They said, I told the guy 167 00:08:35,080 --> 00:08:36,560 Speaker 1: the story and he said, to me, let me guess. 168 00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,199 Speaker 1: I said, yeah, he said, fuse eight twenty nine. I said, yeah, 169 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:40,720 Speaker 1: he goes. Yeah. We don't know why it does that either, 170 00:08:41,000 --> 00:08:43,240 Speaker 1: he goes, but we see it all the time. So 171 00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,120 Speaker 1: there's there's which kind of made me feel good because 172 00:08:46,120 --> 00:08:50,720 Speaker 1: I figured it out. But there's there's something about Honda's 173 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,679 Speaker 1: using a memory saver on late model Hondas will sometimes 174 00:08:55,720 --> 00:09:00,280 Speaker 1: blow a fuse and disable the vehicle, and it made 175 00:09:00,360 --> 00:09:06,160 Speaker 1: me think, Wow, how fragile is this thing? Right? I wonder, 176 00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,760 Speaker 1: you know, is it a surge? Is it a spike 177 00:09:08,880 --> 00:09:11,040 Speaker 1: the wrong way? I wonder what happened if you jump 178 00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,840 Speaker 1: started the car wrong and you weren't careful with the 179 00:09:13,880 --> 00:09:16,320 Speaker 1: cables and created a spark at the battery. You know, 180 00:09:16,520 --> 00:09:20,360 Speaker 1: what is it that makes that fuse blow? But I 181 00:09:20,400 --> 00:09:23,839 Speaker 1: think mandatory Honda should point that out somewhere in their 182 00:09:23,840 --> 00:09:25,640 Speaker 1: car line up and say, if the car doesn't start, 183 00:09:25,800 --> 00:09:29,120 Speaker 1: that's an emergency situation. That's a Could you imagine the 184 00:09:29,160 --> 00:09:31,520 Speaker 1: guy from Triple A and I thought of this, the 185 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:34,320 Speaker 1: guy that does roadside battery service. They swapped the battery 186 00:09:34,320 --> 00:09:36,560 Speaker 1: battery out in the parking lot. They just followed procedure 187 00:09:37,080 --> 00:09:40,720 Speaker 1: and they plug in a memory saver to the diagnostic 188 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:43,520 Speaker 1: connector to the dashboard and then the car doesn't do anything. 189 00:09:44,840 --> 00:09:47,120 Speaker 1: What that? What's that guy gonna do? Let's see him 190 00:09:47,160 --> 00:09:49,600 Speaker 1: figure it out. And he doesn't have the time. Unfortunately, 191 00:09:49,640 --> 00:09:52,000 Speaker 1: it doesn't have the resource to access to resources and 192 00:09:52,040 --> 00:09:55,960 Speaker 1: information like a repair shop does. So fuse A twenty nine. 193 00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:59,520 Speaker 1: I want you to remember that. I want to talk 194 00:09:59,520 --> 00:10:03,080 Speaker 1: a little bit of out Ford real quick, and just 195 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:05,280 Speaker 1: mentioned this. I noticed this this week too. This was 196 00:10:05,360 --> 00:10:07,720 Speaker 1: this was something else that came up yesterday on freaky 197 00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,599 Speaker 1: Friday at the shop. We had a two thousand and 198 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:14,200 Speaker 1: eleven Fusion all wheel drive backing up. This is the 199 00:10:14,200 --> 00:10:15,720 Speaker 1: third car that we had to get out by five 200 00:10:16,080 --> 00:10:21,480 Speaker 1: and backing up, you'd hear and you go forward and 201 00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:24,120 Speaker 1: it wasn't there. And I'm looking at the tires like 202 00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:25,880 Speaker 1: is there a squirrel hanging on the tire? When we 203 00:10:25,880 --> 00:10:30,680 Speaker 1: go backwards, we're running like what is it? Put the 204 00:10:30,679 --> 00:10:33,280 Speaker 1: car up in the air. Didn't see anything, nothing dragging, 205 00:10:33,320 --> 00:10:36,440 Speaker 1: nothing hanging, And then we realized it's an all wheel 206 00:10:36,520 --> 00:10:39,040 Speaker 1: drive car. The center you joint, it's a it's a 207 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,920 Speaker 1: it's a probably what's a five ft drive shaft that 208 00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:43,199 Speaker 1: runs from the front of the car to the back 209 00:10:43,240 --> 00:10:46,800 Speaker 1: of the car and the center drive shift support. There's 210 00:10:46,800 --> 00:10:48,920 Speaker 1: a you joint just in front of it. You can 211 00:10:48,960 --> 00:10:52,320 Speaker 1: see the little flakes of rust just coming off the joint. 212 00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:56,040 Speaker 1: Not kind of cringed for this vehicle owner because she's 213 00:10:56,120 --> 00:10:59,520 Speaker 1: you know, she's a single mom and this isn't the 214 00:10:59,520 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 1: car that she you know, I can't. I'm like, oh boy, 215 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:04,400 Speaker 1: we just did were breaks or front brakes rather, and 216 00:11:04,400 --> 00:11:09,600 Speaker 1: now we've gotta tell her this. It wasn't bad though. 217 00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:13,320 Speaker 1: And here's the point called ford it's a n drive 218 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,720 Speaker 1: shift assembly. Before you fall off your chair, here's the 219 00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:20,240 Speaker 1: reason for my my thought. Um. And she took it 220 00:11:20,280 --> 00:11:21,920 Speaker 1: well and she understands, and she can get by for 221 00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:23,320 Speaker 1: a little while, and we're gonna, you know, do what 222 00:11:23,360 --> 00:11:27,800 Speaker 1: we can for We had just done a similar repair 223 00:11:28,400 --> 00:11:30,800 Speaker 1: to a Toyota Highlander, and I want you to think 224 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:33,439 Speaker 1: about this before we as we go to break um 225 00:11:33,800 --> 00:11:36,959 Speaker 1: same thing, the rear drive shift chirping you joint, which 226 00:11:36,960 --> 00:11:39,960 Speaker 1: is what made me think of it. That same part 227 00:11:40,520 --> 00:11:45,360 Speaker 1: on a Toyota was over eighteen d boy, does that 228 00:11:45,400 --> 00:11:48,320 Speaker 1: speak volumes about you know? So you know, we talked 229 00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:52,480 Speaker 1: about the difference between domestic, alleged domestic and alleged import vehicles. 230 00:11:52,520 --> 00:11:55,480 Speaker 1: Are they really that different? Yeah, you know what, I 231 00:11:55,559 --> 00:11:57,480 Speaker 1: gotta tell you, That's not the first time I've seen this, 232 00:11:57,520 --> 00:12:02,320 Speaker 1: but I'm seeing more and more certain domestic car manufacturers 233 00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:06,200 Speaker 1: parts prices are falling in line or or or are 234 00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:11,160 Speaker 1: more realistic. Maybe, and some of the imports quote unquote 235 00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:14,760 Speaker 1: are just crazy out of their outside. I don't get it, 236 00:12:14,800 --> 00:12:17,559 Speaker 1: but um yeah, nine drive shift murder. The days when 237 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,120 Speaker 1: you can just change a huge joint. The huge joint 238 00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:24,680 Speaker 1: was twenty bucks, no more, zero zero run a naming. 239 00:12:24,679 --> 00:12:26,200 Speaker 1: The car doctor will come back and open the garage 240 00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:28,240 Speaker 1: doors right after this. Don't go away when the family 241 00:12:28,240 --> 00:12:31,000 Speaker 1: car needs some fixing. There's only two things that really matter, 242 00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,440 Speaker 1: getting the right part and getting some good advice. It's 243 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:36,800 Speaker 1: a pretty safe bet that, with over a million parts 244 00:12:36,800 --> 00:12:39,520 Speaker 1: in stock, pet Boys has the right part right now. 245 00:12:39,960 --> 00:12:42,600 Speaker 1: The pet Boys pros are extensively trained to find the 246 00:12:42,679 --> 00:12:45,880 Speaker 1: right part for just about any car truck. Better Yet, 247 00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,400 Speaker 1: these pros can also handle the entire installation or service needed. 248 00:12:49,720 --> 00:12:52,040 Speaker 1: It's always good to have options and no, the pet 249 00:12:52,080 --> 00:13:02,280 Speaker 1: Boys pros have it covered either way. That's right. If 250 00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:04,400 Speaker 1: you call and we're not live, you can leave a 251 00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:06,200 Speaker 1: message and we'll call you back to get you on 252 00:13:06,240 --> 00:13:10,800 Speaker 1: the air with Ron eight five five zero nine zero zero. 253 00:13:11,080 --> 00:13:14,160 Speaker 1: Speaking of Ron, there he is. Let's get on over. 254 00:13:14,200 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 1: Let's talk to Julian Cypress, California as we kick open 255 00:13:16,679 --> 00:13:18,560 Speaker 1: the garage doors this hour. Julie, welcome to the Car 256 00:13:18,600 --> 00:13:20,120 Speaker 1: Doctor on Ron and Ay. And how can I help? 257 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 1: We were involved I have a question about our Jeep 258 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:27,079 Speaker 1: Wrangler Rubicon. We were involved in an accident on September one, 259 00:13:27,160 --> 00:13:31,880 Speaker 1: two seventeen. After ninety six days and dollars worth of repairs, 260 00:13:31,880 --> 00:13:34,760 Speaker 1: we got the car back and I know, and it 261 00:13:34,800 --> 00:13:37,120 Speaker 1: really didn't look that bad, but because my husband tried 262 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:38,800 Speaker 1: to avoid her and went up on two wheels, that 263 00:13:38,840 --> 00:13:41,600 Speaker 1: kind of caught the ndercarriage. So the whole frame was replaced, 264 00:13:41,760 --> 00:13:43,439 Speaker 1: and of course everything else that goes along with that. 265 00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:46,480 Speaker 1: At about fifteen hundred miles after we had the car 266 00:13:46,520 --> 00:13:49,560 Speaker 1: back the right, I'm sorry, the driver's side front tire 267 00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,719 Speaker 1: had a very bizarre were pattern. So we took it 268 00:13:52,800 --> 00:13:55,640 Speaker 1: back to the body shop and he said, um, the 269 00:13:55,679 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 1: car was put back together correctly, it's a jeep tire issue, 270 00:13:59,400 --> 00:14:01,760 Speaker 1: which of course it wasn't. And after four months of 271 00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:05,199 Speaker 1: me running around. The suspension is off in eight spots 272 00:14:06,000 --> 00:14:08,440 Speaker 1: due to where how it's put back together, and the 273 00:14:08,480 --> 00:14:11,880 Speaker 1: alignment is way off, and he still refuses to fix 274 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,160 Speaker 1: that said, it's not his problem. Okay, So let me 275 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:16,520 Speaker 1: let me back up a second. How many miles did 276 00:14:16,520 --> 00:14:18,160 Speaker 1: this truck have on at the time of the accident. 277 00:14:18,520 --> 00:14:21,640 Speaker 1: At the time of the accident, it had six thousand, 278 00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:24,520 Speaker 1: four miles, that's correct, it was ten months old. I 279 00:14:24,560 --> 00:14:28,720 Speaker 1: had six in And obviously this repair was performed through 280 00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:32,640 Speaker 1: your insurance company, through the insurance company of the person 281 00:14:32,680 --> 00:14:36,840 Speaker 1: at faults. Okay, so you know the only thing I 282 00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,320 Speaker 1: can't comment on because it's California in New Jersey. Um, 283 00:14:40,360 --> 00:14:42,560 Speaker 1: it doesn't matter whose body shop does it. They're they're 284 00:14:42,600 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 1: just as responsible as if it was yours. Now, you know, 285 00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:49,600 Speaker 1: the argument becomes that, now we'll let me ask you 286 00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,720 Speaker 1: this question. Did it go directly through their insurance or 287 00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,760 Speaker 1: did your insurance pay for it? And then they went 288 00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:58,400 Speaker 1: after the other person directly through their insurance? All right, 289 00:14:58,960 --> 00:15:01,480 Speaker 1: So have you talked to your in insurance company about this? 290 00:15:02,360 --> 00:15:06,240 Speaker 1: I have, but they say, because I turned it over 291 00:15:06,320 --> 00:15:09,480 Speaker 1: to the other insurance company, they're out of it. So 292 00:15:09,520 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: he suggested my agent suggests that I go get it 293 00:15:12,080 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: fixed myself and then try to recoup my losses. So 294 00:15:16,240 --> 00:15:18,200 Speaker 1: I don't. I haven't taken it yet, but what I've 295 00:15:18,200 --> 00:15:21,760 Speaker 1: been told is it's it's a relatively minor thing to redo, 296 00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:25,760 Speaker 1: the suspension, probably about So my question to you is 297 00:15:25,760 --> 00:15:29,200 Speaker 1: the carson sitting since March about March fifteen, and we 298 00:15:29,240 --> 00:15:31,240 Speaker 1: haven't driven it other than taking it to places to 299 00:15:31,280 --> 00:15:33,600 Speaker 1: have it looked at. Is it safe to drive until 300 00:15:33,640 --> 00:15:35,120 Speaker 1: I have the time and money to fix it? Or 301 00:15:35,120 --> 00:15:37,640 Speaker 1: should I not be driving it until I get it fixed? Well, 302 00:15:37,680 --> 00:15:40,800 Speaker 1: when they say it's often eight different places, what do 303 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:44,280 Speaker 1: they what do they mean by that? Is it? Is 304 00:15:44,320 --> 00:15:48,080 Speaker 1: it workmanship? Is it? Is it? Is it? You know? 305 00:15:49,600 --> 00:15:52,480 Speaker 1: Quality of parts? What do they mean by that? So 306 00:15:52,560 --> 00:15:53,960 Speaker 1: I have this print out where they put it on 307 00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:56,800 Speaker 1: a machine and gave you, gave me the degrees of 308 00:15:56,880 --> 00:15:59,680 Speaker 1: what it is in all these different spots where this 309 00:15:59,760 --> 00:16:01,960 Speaker 1: is where the cars took to the frame, I guess, 310 00:16:02,440 --> 00:16:05,360 Speaker 1: and in eight of them, as many as fifteen degrees 311 00:16:05,400 --> 00:16:07,880 Speaker 1: it's off. One side of the car is higher than 312 00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:11,440 Speaker 1: the other by approximately three quarters of an inch. Okay, 313 00:16:11,440 --> 00:16:13,360 Speaker 1: so it sounds like this is poor workmanship in the 314 00:16:13,400 --> 00:16:16,640 Speaker 1: car never should have been put back together. And that's 315 00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:19,640 Speaker 1: that's what it sounds like just from your description. But 316 00:16:19,720 --> 00:16:22,640 Speaker 1: I just don't get your insurance company's obligation, isn't it 317 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:28,240 Speaker 1: isn't it Isn't that their responsibility to arbitrate on your behalf. Well, 318 00:16:28,280 --> 00:16:30,160 Speaker 1: that's what I said, And he said, if I had 319 00:16:30,200 --> 00:16:32,360 Speaker 1: given it to them to begin with and not gone 320 00:16:32,360 --> 00:16:34,720 Speaker 1: straight to the other company, they would have repaired it 321 00:16:34,720 --> 00:16:36,880 Speaker 1: and then fought with the other company. But since I 322 00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:39,640 Speaker 1: took them out of the equation, which I didn't realize 323 00:16:39,680 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: I was doing. Once I took them out of the equations, 324 00:16:42,160 --> 00:16:45,200 Speaker 1: they no longer have any say in it. And the 325 00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,560 Speaker 1: other insurance company says, we fixed it. We paid him. 326 00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:49,200 Speaker 1: If he didn't do it right, that's on him, not 327 00:16:49,360 --> 00:16:51,280 Speaker 1: on U. S we paid to have it repaired. So 328 00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,480 Speaker 1: now you're stuck in a spot where everybody's passing the 329 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:57,000 Speaker 1: buck exactly. Um, do you have a lawyer you can 330 00:16:57,000 --> 00:17:00,280 Speaker 1: talk to like a Dutch uncle. I do, and I've 331 00:17:00,320 --> 00:17:03,040 Speaker 1: been talking to them, and so, um, you know now 332 00:17:03,080 --> 00:17:04,560 Speaker 1: that we're where I went through the bar and went 333 00:17:04,600 --> 00:17:07,160 Speaker 1: to every everybody. The Bureau of Automotive Repair came out, 334 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,760 Speaker 1: of course, he can't tell me his findings, but he 335 00:17:09,840 --> 00:17:12,719 Speaker 1: told me be sure that I get the report and 336 00:17:12,760 --> 00:17:15,240 Speaker 1: have my attorney do whatever they have to do to 337 00:17:15,240 --> 00:17:17,399 Speaker 1: get it. He said, you need to see this. So 338 00:17:17,480 --> 00:17:19,560 Speaker 1: I believe that he's telling me that there was a 339 00:17:19,600 --> 00:17:22,440 Speaker 1: problem with the repair. So I'll probably have to fix 340 00:17:22,480 --> 00:17:25,000 Speaker 1: it and then go after him, either through my attorney 341 00:17:25,200 --> 00:17:27,480 Speaker 1: or in small claims, because then what it is that 342 00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:29,800 Speaker 1: the other insurance company hasn't paid a whole claim yet. 343 00:17:29,800 --> 00:17:35,240 Speaker 1: Either I have to go after them because they don't 344 00:17:35,280 --> 00:17:36,919 Speaker 1: want to pay any more money, and they didn't pay 345 00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:40,080 Speaker 1: rental car. They didn't pay anything like that, so I 346 00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:42,199 Speaker 1: need to go after them to collect that money, you know, 347 00:17:42,359 --> 00:17:44,480 Speaker 1: and it's still without a car that we can't drive. 348 00:17:45,640 --> 00:17:50,760 Speaker 1: Who had your husband? Whose fault was the accident? It 349 00:17:50,880 --> 00:17:53,040 Speaker 1: was the other party. They made a you turn from 350 00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:56,399 Speaker 1: the curb over a double double yellow, and it was 351 00:17:56,440 --> 00:17:58,480 Speaker 1: so close to him going down the street. He didn't 352 00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:00,800 Speaker 1: even see it till she was right in front of him, 353 00:18:00,840 --> 00:18:03,040 Speaker 1: so she didn't see him. She never hit her brakes 354 00:18:03,080 --> 00:18:06,280 Speaker 1: and he tried to avoid her, and well, obviously it 355 00:18:06,320 --> 00:18:08,040 Speaker 1: was her fault. But luckily for us, there was a 356 00:18:08,040 --> 00:18:10,719 Speaker 1: group of golfers standing right there at a golf tournament 357 00:18:10,720 --> 00:18:13,040 Speaker 1: and saw the whole thing and they were all police officers. Okay, 358 00:18:13,520 --> 00:18:15,880 Speaker 1: So in a nutshell, hey, I wouldn't drive the car. 359 00:18:15,920 --> 00:18:19,199 Speaker 1: It sounds like it's unsafe. B It's it's gotta it's 360 00:18:19,240 --> 00:18:21,240 Speaker 1: got to go through your lawyer. You've got to get 361 00:18:21,240 --> 00:18:23,960 Speaker 1: this resolved. This is the insurance in my opinion, I'm 362 00:18:23,960 --> 00:18:26,399 Speaker 1: no judge, but in my opinion as a mechanic, this 363 00:18:26,520 --> 00:18:28,840 Speaker 1: is the insurance company that paid for it's full and 364 00:18:28,840 --> 00:18:31,320 Speaker 1: this is the body shop problem. They get the car resolved. 365 00:18:31,520 --> 00:18:33,679 Speaker 1: I would talk to your lawyer. I would proceed in 366 00:18:33,720 --> 00:18:36,760 Speaker 1: that direction. Don't drive the car. Please call me back, 367 00:18:36,840 --> 00:18:39,119 Speaker 1: let me know what the end result is. Pulling for you, 368 00:18:39,240 --> 00:18:41,000 Speaker 1: all right, you take good care of morninating. The car 369 00:18:41,040 --> 00:19:02,240 Speaker 1: doctor will be back right after this. You know the 370 00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:04,200 Speaker 1: sad part run in any of the car doctor. I'm back. 371 00:19:04,240 --> 00:19:08,240 Speaker 1: The sad part about that last call is in Jersey, 372 00:19:08,320 --> 00:19:10,639 Speaker 1: and I realized insurance is different states to state, But 373 00:19:10,720 --> 00:19:13,879 Speaker 1: in New Jersey, when you have an insurance policy, you 374 00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:17,680 Speaker 1: know their obligation is to return the vehicle to pre 375 00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:21,800 Speaker 1: accident condition. That's the contract. Insurance policy is a contract 376 00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,640 Speaker 1: in that sense of the word and in Jersey. It's 377 00:19:25,720 --> 00:19:27,679 Speaker 1: my understanding, and maybe it's a Jersey thing, but I 378 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:31,240 Speaker 1: thought it was an insurance policy or insurance company thing. Um, 379 00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:34,200 Speaker 1: the repairs are guaranteed for life, and you know there 380 00:19:34,200 --> 00:19:35,960 Speaker 1: has to be a guarantee and a warranty on it 381 00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:39,959 Speaker 1: because of the safety issues. It's it almost sounds like 382 00:19:40,119 --> 00:19:44,640 Speaker 1: the repair shop that did this. Again, maybe it's different 383 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:47,119 Speaker 1: in California, but in New Jersey their licensed body shops. 384 00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:50,439 Speaker 1: Not that that solves all the problems, but you know, 385 00:19:50,520 --> 00:19:53,199 Speaker 1: in California or in in New Jersey, it's you have 386 00:19:53,240 --> 00:19:55,320 Speaker 1: to be licensed and meet a certain standard in order 387 00:19:55,320 --> 00:19:57,520 Speaker 1: to do body repairs. It's a it's a safety thing 388 00:19:58,000 --> 00:19:59,159 Speaker 1: because it kind of makes me wonder why, I you 389 00:19:59,160 --> 00:20:00,520 Speaker 1: don't have to be licensed to be a mechanic. But 390 00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,879 Speaker 1: that's a whole another conversation because mechanics can create more 391 00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:05,679 Speaker 1: problems than well, there's bigger problems body guys. But you 392 00:20:05,720 --> 00:20:08,439 Speaker 1: get the point. I think she has to pursue this 393 00:20:08,520 --> 00:20:11,320 Speaker 1: from the perspective of what is the obligation of the 394 00:20:11,320 --> 00:20:14,120 Speaker 1: insurance company if it's returned the vehicle to pre accident condition, 395 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:17,000 Speaker 1: and clearly it's not, and the easiest way to prove 396 00:20:17,080 --> 00:20:22,639 Speaker 1: that is that the the machine, the frame doesn't measure 397 00:20:22,760 --> 00:20:26,920 Speaker 1: correct angles, correct position and so on. I think the 398 00:20:26,960 --> 00:20:30,040 Speaker 1: vehicles unsafe to drive. I would be I would say, 399 00:20:30,040 --> 00:20:32,880 Speaker 1: here's my car, Um, you owe me for damages, and UM, 400 00:20:33,640 --> 00:20:35,359 Speaker 1: I'm gonna write her an email. I'm gonna do what 401 00:20:35,400 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: I can to help her. That's that's very said. You know, 402 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:39,919 Speaker 1: a one year old vehicle with six thousand miles on 403 00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:42,080 Speaker 1: it and she can't even drive it. That's that's just 404 00:20:42,119 --> 00:20:45,680 Speaker 1: absolutely ridiculous. I never heard of, well, you know, show 405 00:20:45,720 --> 00:20:48,639 Speaker 1: me somebody that takes responsibility anymore. That's a whole another conversation. 406 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:50,600 Speaker 1: I had a we had a before we get to 407 00:20:50,600 --> 00:20:53,560 Speaker 1: the phone, we had I had an email. I'm gonna 408 00:20:53,560 --> 00:20:55,679 Speaker 1: have to go find it and maybe read it, but 409 00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:59,080 Speaker 1: it it talked about UM. It was in the Boston 410 00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:03,240 Speaker 1: Hope and it was a story about a woman who 411 00:21:03,240 --> 00:21:05,760 Speaker 1: went to an oil change place. She went to a 412 00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:09,520 Speaker 1: firestone up in up in Massachusetts somewhere they changed the 413 00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:14,240 Speaker 1: oil on her Camaro and the oil filter wasn't on 414 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:17,800 Speaker 1: properly and it leaked oil, and within two three days 415 00:21:17,880 --> 00:21:21,679 Speaker 1: time enough oil leaked out that the car the engine 416 00:21:21,720 --> 00:21:24,520 Speaker 1: failed and she had a toad to Firestone and they said, yep, 417 00:21:24,600 --> 00:21:27,159 Speaker 1: the filter is not on or whatever the story was, 418 00:21:27,600 --> 00:21:32,200 Speaker 1: and you need an engine. And at last count, it's 419 00:21:32,200 --> 00:21:33,719 Speaker 1: a good article. We'll have to find that. Maybe put 420 00:21:33,840 --> 00:21:36,399 Speaker 1: up on our Facebook page. Tom. I'll send Tom the 421 00:21:36,440 --> 00:21:40,240 Speaker 1: link it um it talks about the Firestone was now 422 00:21:40,359 --> 00:21:43,720 Speaker 1: offering her. I think it was a Junkyard engine and 423 00:21:43,760 --> 00:21:45,679 Speaker 1: a few thousand dollars, and then they finally got up 424 00:21:45,720 --> 00:21:48,320 Speaker 1: to four thousand dollars for a complete engine. Or we've 425 00:21:48,359 --> 00:21:50,199 Speaker 1: got to take the engine apart and see what we 426 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:52,480 Speaker 1: can do for you. Let me tell you something and 427 00:21:52,520 --> 00:21:55,840 Speaker 1: I and I wrote the author of that article, because that, 428 00:21:55,920 --> 00:21:58,920 Speaker 1: to me is nonsense. Take the responsibility, bear the brunt 429 00:21:58,960 --> 00:22:02,199 Speaker 1: of what you do. I said. Let me explain it 430 00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:06,400 Speaker 1: this way. A repair shop, a real repair shop has 431 00:22:06,440 --> 00:22:09,920 Speaker 1: to have insurance, all right, you have to have liability insurance, 432 00:22:09,960 --> 00:22:12,040 Speaker 1: but both against you know, you don't put the wheel 433 00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:14,359 Speaker 1: on properly, the wheel falls off, there's an accident, God forbid, 434 00:22:14,520 --> 00:22:18,040 Speaker 1: or the workmanship of what you are doing. You put 435 00:22:18,119 --> 00:22:20,680 Speaker 1: something together and it doesn't work, you are liable for that. 436 00:22:20,680 --> 00:22:23,000 Speaker 1: That is the that is the inherent risk in being 437 00:22:23,040 --> 00:22:26,600 Speaker 1: in the business that's number one, So the repair shop 438 00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:29,320 Speaker 1: has insurance. The Firestone has to have insurance to pay 439 00:22:29,359 --> 00:22:34,520 Speaker 1: for that replacement engine. And number two, that filter manufacturer 440 00:22:34,760 --> 00:22:38,159 Speaker 1: has insurance. A brand X Y Z oil filter, whatever's 441 00:22:38,200 --> 00:22:41,080 Speaker 1: fire whatever Firestone is using. At that point, you know 442 00:22:41,200 --> 00:22:46,040 Speaker 1: that oil filter manufacturer has product liability insurance. And if 443 00:22:46,080 --> 00:22:47,919 Speaker 1: they don't, then somebody's been lying to meet for the 444 00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:50,200 Speaker 1: past forty three years. Because I've asked that question every 445 00:22:50,240 --> 00:22:53,160 Speaker 1: part manufacturer that's coming the shop. You know what happens. 446 00:22:53,160 --> 00:22:55,320 Speaker 1: If something goes wrong, we have insurance. Don't worry, We'll 447 00:22:55,320 --> 00:22:58,320 Speaker 1: cover it. Yes, Tom No. I just thought it was 448 00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:02,879 Speaker 1: rather funny you brought up a firestone in the Boston area. 449 00:23:02,960 --> 00:23:05,920 Speaker 1: My daughter recently had a oil change. She goes to 450 00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:10,159 Speaker 1: school up there, and of course, and you know the uh, 451 00:23:10,440 --> 00:23:15,960 Speaker 1: you know, the car escape that um has had its 452 00:23:15,960 --> 00:23:19,160 Speaker 1: oil change so much that you re tapped the plug, 453 00:23:19,200 --> 00:23:21,720 Speaker 1: the drain plugs, the drain plug threads wore out, and 454 00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:26,080 Speaker 1: and it's a slightly bigger one. And you know, she 455 00:23:26,119 --> 00:23:28,399 Speaker 1: brought it in for the oil change, and they started 456 00:23:28,440 --> 00:23:30,360 Speaker 1: giving her a hard time because I guess the guy 457 00:23:30,400 --> 00:23:32,159 Speaker 1: who was expecting a half inch wrench and had to 458 00:23:32,160 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: go with the nine and sixteens instead, and then he 459 00:23:35,400 --> 00:23:38,080 Speaker 1: pulls it off. And at our a automotive, you always 460 00:23:38,119 --> 00:23:40,720 Speaker 1: put a little bit of ceilings around the threads on 461 00:23:40,800 --> 00:23:42,600 Speaker 1: the on the thing before you put it back. In 462 00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:44,200 Speaker 1: that way, I don't have to tighten it very tight. 463 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,240 Speaker 1: Well exactly, yeah, but but it also will prevent a leak. 464 00:23:47,440 --> 00:23:49,720 Speaker 1: And he started going off on her about how this 465 00:23:49,800 --> 00:23:53,560 Speaker 1: thing was wrong and how about, uh, this thing was 466 00:23:53,640 --> 00:23:57,679 Speaker 1: leaking all over the place, which it wasn't, and you know, this, 467 00:23:57,800 --> 00:23:59,400 Speaker 1: that and the other, and she just picked up the phone. 468 00:23:59,440 --> 00:24:01,920 Speaker 1: She very calmly picked up the phone and called me 469 00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:03,520 Speaker 1: and handed it to me. And I said to the guy, 470 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:04,840 Speaker 1: I said, you ever heard of Ron and Ninny in 471 00:24:04,880 --> 00:24:06,760 Speaker 1: the car Doctor? He goes, yeah, I listened to the show. 472 00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:08,480 Speaker 1: I said, yeah, what he worked on the cars. Would 473 00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,920 Speaker 1: you like me to get conference anyway? No, never mind, 474 00:24:10,960 --> 00:24:12,960 Speaker 1: we'll just take care of it. And it was like 475 00:24:13,520 --> 00:24:16,439 Speaker 1: it was like, dude, there's nothing wrong with the vehicle. 476 00:24:16,520 --> 00:24:19,560 Speaker 1: Change the oil and move on. You know, it's just 477 00:24:19,600 --> 00:24:23,600 Speaker 1: called it seems that well. And in that instance, they're 478 00:24:23,640 --> 00:24:25,520 Speaker 1: making Swiss cheese out of milk. In the instance of 479 00:24:25,520 --> 00:24:29,359 Speaker 1: the lady with the Camaro. She's you know, where is 480 00:24:29,400 --> 00:24:32,440 Speaker 1: the responsibility? Where is the obligation of the repair shop 481 00:24:32,480 --> 00:24:35,480 Speaker 1: to do the right thing? And in Julie's case with 482 00:24:35,520 --> 00:24:37,880 Speaker 1: the jeep in CA, I don't understand of these guys 483 00:24:37,920 --> 00:24:41,880 Speaker 1: sleep at night. I really don't fix the damn car. Yeah, 484 00:24:41,920 --> 00:24:43,280 Speaker 1: this is what you got paid for that what you 485 00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:45,400 Speaker 1: got paid to do? Fix the car? How hard is this? 486 00:24:46,000 --> 00:24:49,480 Speaker 1: I beyond like beyond my comprehension. Let's go talk to 487 00:24:49,520 --> 00:24:52,320 Speaker 1: Joe in Florida. Joe, how are you today, Sir Ronny 488 00:24:52,359 --> 00:24:55,680 Speaker 1: and at your service? What's going on? Good? Thank you, sir? 489 00:24:55,880 --> 00:25:01,240 Speaker 1: Um got we just purchased this vehicle, uh from a 490 00:25:01,280 --> 00:25:07,040 Speaker 1: older lady. It's thin, garage, kept beautiful shape, original miles 491 00:25:07,040 --> 00:25:13,480 Speaker 1: on a two thousand to Buick. Um. But I haven't 492 00:25:13,520 --> 00:25:16,240 Speaker 1: we haven't driven it very much. We've only put about 493 00:25:16,280 --> 00:25:18,440 Speaker 1: a hundred miles on it and it's gone through three 494 00:25:18,560 --> 00:25:25,240 Speaker 1: quarters of a tank of gas. Um. So I have, 495 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:29,320 Speaker 1: I believe made some headway on the problem. Um. After 496 00:25:29,440 --> 00:25:32,080 Speaker 1: I left the message for Tom to call me, But 497 00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:33,879 Speaker 1: I just thought i'd go through what I've done and 498 00:25:33,880 --> 00:25:36,960 Speaker 1: see if he had any suggestions. If I still don't 499 00:25:37,000 --> 00:25:44,080 Speaker 1: get anything better, so what I found was that my 500 00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:49,080 Speaker 1: fuel trims were super lean, which would be positive, way positive, 501 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:54,800 Speaker 1: almost borderline probably set in some codes. At idle. When 502 00:25:54,800 --> 00:25:58,040 Speaker 1: I drove the car, they improved, but they were still positive, 503 00:25:58,480 --> 00:26:02,040 Speaker 1: you know, seven long term for a short term, not 504 00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:04,080 Speaker 1: not the not the end of the world. Where were they? 505 00:26:04,480 --> 00:26:08,280 Speaker 1: Where are they? At idle? They were like sixteen point 506 00:26:08,359 --> 00:26:12,080 Speaker 1: four and then maybe four or five. So we're thinking 507 00:26:12,119 --> 00:26:15,000 Speaker 1: back in deep now, like if I just let out 508 00:26:15,040 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: the gas going thirty miles an hour, uh, long term, 509 00:26:19,240 --> 00:26:22,159 Speaker 1: would immediately go to sixteen short term and almost reached 510 00:26:22,160 --> 00:26:26,360 Speaker 1: ten or twelve. So I'm thinking, huh, there's my problem, 511 00:26:26,400 --> 00:26:30,639 Speaker 1: you know. Um, so I did the old propane trick 512 00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,960 Speaker 1: because I believe these thirty eight engines are kind of 513 00:26:34,080 --> 00:26:37,280 Speaker 1: common to have lower intake leaks that you can't really see. 514 00:26:37,640 --> 00:26:43,520 Speaker 1: Is that among other things. Now, now, now keep in mind, 515 00:26:43,640 --> 00:26:45,840 Speaker 1: and I and I always keep this in the back 516 00:26:45,880 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 1: of my head. I'm I'm trying to do fuel trims 517 00:26:47,880 --> 00:26:50,760 Speaker 1: on an older vehicle that either I don't have, either 518 00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: I don't have experience with, or it's been so long 519 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:56,680 Speaker 1: ago I forget. You know, we haven't we haven't encroached 520 00:26:56,720 --> 00:26:59,440 Speaker 1: in my mind so far, really disastrous fuel trims. But 521 00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:03,040 Speaker 1: I like what doing? So you know, keep going, tell 522 00:27:03,040 --> 00:27:07,160 Speaker 1: me where else we're at. I couldn't drive the oxygen 523 00:27:07,280 --> 00:27:13,000 Speaker 1: sensor or the fuel trims um rich with propane. I mean, 524 00:27:13,359 --> 00:27:17,560 Speaker 1: they went like a couple of ticks down, but not 525 00:27:17,560 --> 00:27:20,159 Speaker 1: not what I was thinking it would do. So I 526 00:27:20,200 --> 00:27:25,400 Speaker 1: went ahead and got a Denso oxygen sensor are those 527 00:27:25,440 --> 00:27:31,679 Speaker 1: pretty good product? That's what I thought. Uh. I had 528 00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,240 Speaker 1: heard before that they made a lot of O E 529 00:27:33,359 --> 00:27:36,879 Speaker 1: M s anyway, still really and I had a suspicious 530 00:27:37,240 --> 00:27:41,159 Speaker 1: it wasn't gonna fix it because the oxygen sensor was 531 00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:46,000 Speaker 1: oscillating the old one and it didn't. So I was 532 00:27:46,200 --> 00:27:49,440 Speaker 1: doing a bunch of research, and uh, I do know. 533 00:27:49,640 --> 00:27:52,040 Speaker 1: This lady kept all the paperwork on the car, and 534 00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:57,560 Speaker 1: they someone put an aftermarket mass airflow in it. Um 535 00:27:57,680 --> 00:28:02,160 Speaker 1: the values look normal to me, so it's almost indistinguishable 536 00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:04,680 Speaker 1: that anything was wrong with it. But I was doing 537 00:28:04,720 --> 00:28:07,000 Speaker 1: some research and someone did a really nice ride up 538 00:28:07,080 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: that unplugged the mass and as soon as I did that, boom, 539 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:17,159 Speaker 1: the values go way negative trying to correct itself. So 540 00:28:18,160 --> 00:28:22,879 Speaker 1: early this morning, go ahead, okay, go ahead, Early this morning, 541 00:28:22,920 --> 00:28:26,720 Speaker 1: I go out to a big picking poll and I 542 00:28:26,760 --> 00:28:31,640 Speaker 1: got me a couple oh y am, mass came home, 543 00:28:31,720 --> 00:28:34,280 Speaker 1: cleaned them a little bit, put it in boom cars 544 00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:38,880 Speaker 1: runs totally different fuel treams, Um, and my values are 545 00:28:38,880 --> 00:28:42,000 Speaker 1: a lot, so it looks like my after Margaret when 546 00:28:42,120 --> 00:28:45,880 Speaker 1: was actually under reporting. And that's typically that's typically what 547 00:28:45,920 --> 00:28:48,280 Speaker 1: they will do. Um. I'll tell you what, Joe, sit 548 00:28:48,400 --> 00:28:49,840 Speaker 1: right there, because I got a comment for I gotta. 549 00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:51,600 Speaker 1: I got an easier test for you on mass air 550 00:28:51,640 --> 00:28:52,880 Speaker 1: flows I want to give you when I come back. 551 00:28:52,960 --> 00:28:54,560 Speaker 1: Let me just pull over and take this pause. I'm 552 00:28:54,640 --> 00:28:56,640 Speaker 1: run eating. The car doctor will return right after this 553 00:29:00,040 --> 00:29:04,840 Speaker 1: and me slipper with every back. We're on the end 554 00:29:04,840 --> 00:29:08,800 Speaker 1: of the Car Doctor eight by five zero zero phone number. 555 00:29:08,800 --> 00:29:11,040 Speaker 1: And don't forget to check out the car doctor Facebook page. Joe, 556 00:29:11,080 --> 00:29:14,960 Speaker 1: you're still there in Florida, sir. Um, simple test and 557 00:29:15,000 --> 00:29:19,320 Speaker 1: good job diagnosing it. Um. Simple test for a mass 558 00:29:19,360 --> 00:29:21,720 Speaker 1: air is and now that you've got a good one 559 00:29:21,720 --> 00:29:23,400 Speaker 1: and a bad one to play with, you can actually 560 00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:25,640 Speaker 1: see the results of it. Take the good one. Take 561 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: the car for a rod. Your scan tool has to 562 00:29:28,200 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: have a value on their calculated load. Yes, sir, I 563 00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,320 Speaker 1: listened to you enough. I did do that test? Did it? 564 00:29:34,600 --> 00:29:36,040 Speaker 1: What did it come up? What did it come up with? 565 00:29:36,040 --> 00:29:39,560 Speaker 1: With the bad one, I can only get it about eight. 566 00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:42,480 Speaker 1: But I'm kind of like, you know, the car down 567 00:29:42,520 --> 00:29:44,200 Speaker 1: ship and I don't really want to reve it out 568 00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:47,760 Speaker 1: that hardy. Well, every time I really try to lug 569 00:29:47,760 --> 00:29:50,600 Speaker 1: it and a low gear and kind of downshifts automatically 570 00:29:50,640 --> 00:29:53,200 Speaker 1: has a mind of its own. Right, Well, this is uh, 571 00:29:53,560 --> 00:29:55,080 Speaker 1: you know, keep in mind, this is I just gotta 572 00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:57,680 Speaker 1: put your foot through the headlight and close your eyes 573 00:29:57,720 --> 00:30:00,680 Speaker 1: mental and I can only get about seven. The eight percent, 574 00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:04,680 Speaker 1: Well that's better. You know that shows if if you're 575 00:30:04,760 --> 00:30:07,560 Speaker 1: driving habits are the same, if you're driving it the 576 00:30:07,640 --> 00:30:11,120 Speaker 1: same way. Uh, you know, that shows an improvement, and 577 00:30:11,120 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: that proves the point about calculated load. You'll typically see 578 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:18,760 Speaker 1: good calculated load value eight above um occasionally get a 579 00:30:18,760 --> 00:30:20,920 Speaker 1: car to hit percent. The last thing I'm gonna do 580 00:30:20,960 --> 00:30:22,360 Speaker 1: before and the least thing I want to mention to 581 00:30:22,360 --> 00:30:24,600 Speaker 1: you before I let you go, is you may want 582 00:30:24,600 --> 00:30:26,840 Speaker 1: to also consider, you know, such low mile is ninety 583 00:30:26,840 --> 00:30:29,600 Speaker 1: thousand miles two thousand two. You may also want to, 584 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,640 Speaker 1: just for giggles, put a thermostat in that car, just 585 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,520 Speaker 1: to make sure operating temperature is up to where it's 586 00:30:33,520 --> 00:30:37,240 Speaker 1: supposed to be, all right, um, you know, as as 587 00:30:37,280 --> 00:30:39,240 Speaker 1: as little as a difference of you know, five to 588 00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:42,720 Speaker 1: eight degrees in terms of a thermostat. If that's the 589 00:30:42,760 --> 00:30:46,080 Speaker 1: original stat and never been changed, I'd be I'd be 590 00:30:46,240 --> 00:30:49,400 Speaker 1: definitely doing that, just at a sheer maintenance. The other thing, too, 591 00:30:49,600 --> 00:30:51,400 Speaker 1: I wanted to mention is when you're doing the pro 592 00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:54,360 Speaker 1: pane test and you're looking for a tow activity, just 593 00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:57,320 Speaker 1: feed a little propane down the throat of the motor too, 594 00:30:58,120 --> 00:30:59,600 Speaker 1: all right. You should be able to give that a 595 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: whiff of propane and you should see that O two 596 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 1: centsor shoot to nine tenths of a vault are better 597 00:31:05,200 --> 00:31:07,880 Speaker 1: typically one vault, and you'll know that that's an active 598 00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:09,640 Speaker 1: O two and it will flat line at all high 599 00:31:09,720 --> 00:31:13,040 Speaker 1: voltage UM. And it's it's a matter of playing with 600 00:31:13,120 --> 00:31:15,840 Speaker 1: the propane bottle so that you're not feeding it too much, 601 00:31:16,320 --> 00:31:19,200 Speaker 1: just enough to enrich that O two centsor and and 602 00:31:19,200 --> 00:31:21,680 Speaker 1: and let it go high like that. But I like 603 00:31:21,720 --> 00:31:23,080 Speaker 1: what you did. I like the way you did it, 604 00:31:23,160 --> 00:31:27,920 Speaker 1: so good job to you too. Yes, your wife's Malibu 605 00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:33,040 Speaker 1: had did it. No. Three point five, that was a 606 00:31:33,080 --> 00:31:35,520 Speaker 1: that was a three five. That was a different motor. Yeah, 607 00:31:35,640 --> 00:31:38,320 Speaker 1: that was a different motor. Um so yes, sir, all right, 608 00:31:38,360 --> 00:31:40,360 Speaker 1: but you go ahead, you take care of that, and 609 00:31:40,480 --> 00:31:41,880 Speaker 1: um by all means you give us a call back 610 00:31:41,920 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: when you need something. Always a pleasure. Let's pull over 611 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,480 Speaker 1: and take a pause. Five five zero zero will be 612 00:31:47,480 --> 00:31:49,640 Speaker 1: back to wrap it up with Steven Rhode Island right 613 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:56,560 Speaker 1: after this. Hey, let's get over talk to Stephen Rhode Island, 614 00:31:56,600 --> 00:31:58,320 Speaker 1: rondating the card act to write your service. Sir, how 615 00:31:58,320 --> 00:32:02,320 Speaker 1: can I help? Ah? God, let's do run? Should be 616 00:32:02,360 --> 00:32:06,000 Speaker 1: a video surges on acceleration if fuel injected cleaner into 617 00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:09,280 Speaker 1: the gas tank seems to help about fri six miles 618 00:32:09,280 --> 00:32:10,720 Speaker 1: and it has to come back and it's now so 619 00:32:10,800 --> 00:32:14,440 Speaker 1: I can do on my own. Um, you know, fuel 620 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,960 Speaker 1: injection cleaner. As much as I believe you when you 621 00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:20,760 Speaker 1: say it seems to make a difference, I'd like to 622 00:32:20,800 --> 00:32:23,440 Speaker 1: see it by the numbers. I'm a numbers guy. Uh 623 00:32:23,480 --> 00:32:25,680 Speaker 1: you know? Is it? Is it that you're driving along 624 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:28,280 Speaker 1: at forty miles an hour, steady state, steady foot on 625 00:32:28,320 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 1: the gas and the car just sort of, you know, 626 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: surges forward on its own. Is that is that a 627 00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:40,880 Speaker 1: good go ahead. It's steady at constant speed, it's fine. 628 00:32:40,920 --> 00:32:45,040 Speaker 1: It's only on acceleration. So on acceleration, as you're accelerating, 629 00:32:45,080 --> 00:32:49,320 Speaker 1: the car seems to be surging forward. How would you 630 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:58,720 Speaker 1: experience that. I'm trying to get my head around that. Um, right, um, 631 00:32:59,560 --> 00:33:10,880 Speaker 1: steady the gas pedal, accelerating, but hesitates, hesitated, Like I 632 00:33:10,880 --> 00:33:12,600 Speaker 1: wonder if this is a drive by wire car in 633 00:33:12,640 --> 00:33:18,160 Speaker 1: two thousand nine, I'm thinking it is. Um, my wife, 634 00:33:18,360 --> 00:33:21,280 Speaker 1: My wife's Malibu was an oh five, that's four years 635 00:33:21,320 --> 00:33:28,280 Speaker 1: newer my O eight Silver? Yeah, no, I know, but 636 00:33:28,360 --> 00:33:30,440 Speaker 1: even so, a lot of the imports were drive by 637 00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:33,120 Speaker 1: wire in the mid two thousands too. I'd just be 638 00:33:33,200 --> 00:33:35,000 Speaker 1: curious if this is a drive by wire, if this 639 00:33:35,040 --> 00:33:39,840 Speaker 1: has a dirty throttle plate. Um, just just just just thinking, 640 00:33:40,080 --> 00:33:42,600 Speaker 1: just trying to look for something simple, and I think 641 00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,360 Speaker 1: that's probably where I would take it. I think i'd 642 00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:47,760 Speaker 1: look to see, uh you know, and for that matter, 643 00:33:48,440 --> 00:33:50,400 Speaker 1: I mean, it's something simple. But from my seat here, 644 00:33:50,400 --> 00:33:52,920 Speaker 1: I got to cover all the bases. How cleaner dirty 645 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,560 Speaker 1: is the air filter? Is it? Is it packed with something? 646 00:33:55,640 --> 00:33:58,200 Speaker 1: Do we have a restriction there? Do we have a 647 00:33:58,240 --> 00:34:02,640 Speaker 1: problem with the air intake? Duct, and is this a 648 00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:06,000 Speaker 1: mass airflow sensor equipped vehicle? Could the air intake DUC 649 00:34:06,040 --> 00:34:09,640 Speaker 1: to be cracked after the sensor like the old BMW's 650 00:34:09,719 --> 00:34:12,200 Speaker 1: used to do, They would leak after the censor and 651 00:34:12,239 --> 00:34:16,160 Speaker 1: create a surge on acceleration in that sense, um, And 652 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,080 Speaker 1: then do I have a dirty throttle body? So there's 653 00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:19,879 Speaker 1: some visual things you can do. But then the next 654 00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,960 Speaker 1: step after you eliminate air and take and dirty throttle 655 00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:24,560 Speaker 1: body and things like that, is then I want to 656 00:34:24,600 --> 00:34:26,600 Speaker 1: see it on a scan tool. I want to scan 657 00:34:26,640 --> 00:34:28,200 Speaker 1: tool hook up. I want to look at fuel trim. 658 00:34:28,200 --> 00:34:30,560 Speaker 1: I want to see changes in fuel trim, you know, 659 00:34:30,880 --> 00:34:32,840 Speaker 1: telling me, because that's telling me that the engine is 660 00:34:32,840 --> 00:34:36,840 Speaker 1: actually changing its operation or its status while accelerating. And 661 00:34:36,880 --> 00:34:39,279 Speaker 1: if not, then I've got to start thinking about something else. 662 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:42,520 Speaker 1: What else do I have going on? Um um? But 663 00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:46,680 Speaker 1: that's how I would approach it. Obviously, No, obviously, no 664 00:34:46,840 --> 00:34:52,279 Speaker 1: check engine light, nothing like that, right, Steve, Okay, all right, well, 665 00:34:52,280 --> 00:34:54,440 Speaker 1: and keep that in mind too, the fact that the 666 00:34:54,520 --> 00:34:56,839 Speaker 1: light hasn't popped. When you hook up a scan tool, 667 00:34:56,880 --> 00:34:59,479 Speaker 1: you can go and look for pending codes because maybe 668 00:34:59,520 --> 00:35:03,600 Speaker 1: there's something lurking that hasn't happened yet, but it's about 669 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,920 Speaker 1: to so that might give you a direction also, But 670 00:35:06,000 --> 00:35:08,320 Speaker 1: i'd be thinking about intake tuck. That'd be thinking about 671 00:35:08,360 --> 00:35:11,680 Speaker 1: air filter, um, dirty throttle bodies, something along those lines. 672 00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:16,000 Speaker 1: All right, sir, all right, yeah good you take good care. 673 00:35:16,560 --> 00:35:19,880 Speaker 1: Um hm, well that was a quick hour. It all 674 00:35:19,880 --> 00:35:23,560 Speaker 1: seemed to be quick. Well, what can I tell you, folks, 675 00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:26,880 Speaker 1: life of life and the times of the car doctor, right, 676 00:35:27,560 --> 00:35:29,520 Speaker 1: Um as always a pleasure to be here with you 677 00:35:29,600 --> 00:35:31,799 Speaker 1: this past hour, and I appreciated the callson all over 678 00:35:31,800 --> 00:35:34,200 Speaker 1: the country.

It's amazing. 680 00:35:37,320 --> 00:35:39,239 Speaker 1: Until the next time I'm monating in the car doctor, 681 00:35:39,280 --> 00:35:42,919 Speaker 1: reminding you good mechanics aren't expensive, They're priceless.
