76
00:03:30,760 --> 00:03:33,600
Speaker 1: feeling I'll be using the suburban the bus to haul

77
00:03:33,680 --> 00:03:37,160
Speaker 1: equipment because um, yeah, that's probably what's gonna happen. So

78
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,640
Speaker 1: but anyway, that's next weekend. I want to talk a

79
00:03:39,680 --> 00:03:43,680
Speaker 1: little bit about diagnostics. UM. I want to talk about

80
00:03:43,680 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: it from the sense of, you know, we've been saying

81
00:03:46,200 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: for a long time now it's it's diagnosed. You gotta

82
00:03:49,360 --> 00:03:53,400
Speaker 1: know what's good to figure out what's bad. Subaru Legacy

83
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:57,960
Speaker 1: came into the shop this week. Mr Cooper herbs Um,

84
00:03:58,040 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: He's probably been the repair of the week more than

85
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,280
Speaker 1: anybody I can I can think of. But um, super Legacy,

86
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 1: Mr Cooper's Subaru. That um, we put a trans in

87
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:10,440
Speaker 1: this car going back good. Was the beginning of the

88
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,320
Speaker 1: summer June May June. This was the eight nine thousand

89
00:04:14,320 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: dollars Subaru transmission overhaul and a couple of the things

90
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,240
Speaker 1: and CVT trans and a hundred and ten thousand mile

91
00:04:20,320 --> 00:04:24,080
Speaker 1: Legacy and always well. And he called me up. He

92
00:04:24,120 --> 00:04:26,200
Speaker 1: called me up actually the week before he went on vacation,

93
00:04:26,440 --> 00:04:28,360
Speaker 1: the week we went on vacation. He went on vacation,

94
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:30,880
Speaker 1: and he said they were driving the car to the

95
00:04:30,920 --> 00:04:34,000
Speaker 1: airport or some such destination and the car was shuttering

96
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:37,560
Speaker 1: and shaking and steering wheel shuttering and shaking, and it

97
00:04:37,640 --> 00:04:40,159
Speaker 1: felt like the trans was, you know, going bad, like

98
00:04:40,200 --> 00:04:45,160
Speaker 1: it had a slipping transmission. Sure did make my vacation

99
00:04:45,200 --> 00:04:47,640
Speaker 1: interesting as I tried not to think about the eight thousand,

100
00:04:47,720 --> 00:04:51,159
Speaker 1: nine thousand dollar transmission being a problem. But I don't know,

101
00:04:51,279 --> 00:04:53,080
Speaker 1: Sometimes you just gotta say leave it alone and just

102
00:04:53,120 --> 00:04:56,000
Speaker 1: way do you get there? So it was my job

103
00:04:56,040 --> 00:04:57,960
Speaker 1: on Tuesday. It was one of the first ones I had.

104
00:04:58,480 --> 00:05:00,480
Speaker 1: Ticket fell in my rack and I wrote it down

105
00:05:00,520 --> 00:05:02,840
Speaker 1: just the way he described it. Take the car out

106
00:05:02,880 --> 00:05:05,880
Speaker 1: to the highway driver for fifteen minutes, and the steering

107
00:05:05,920 --> 00:05:07,760
Speaker 1: we will start the shutter and shake as you step

108
00:05:07,800 --> 00:05:10,120
Speaker 1: on the gas and and and try to accelerate forward.

109
00:05:11,800 --> 00:05:15,359
Speaker 1: And I tried to have positive you know, juju good thoughts.

110
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:18,560
Speaker 1: Just try to maintain good carmen and thinking positive stuff.

111
00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,280
Speaker 1: You know, I think I can, I think I can.

112
00:05:20,400 --> 00:05:22,359
Speaker 1: I think I can, because I don't want to do

113
00:05:22,360 --> 00:05:28,360
Speaker 1: another transmission. And yeah, started the shutter and shake. Yeah,

114
00:05:28,440 --> 00:05:32,039
Speaker 1: there it was, and it had dawned on me. And

115
00:05:32,080 --> 00:05:34,520
Speaker 1: I was surprised too, because prior to the road trip

116
00:05:34,760 --> 00:05:36,280
Speaker 1: I had a scan tool plugged in. Prior to the

117
00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:38,680
Speaker 1: road trip, I scanned it for codes, and I went

118
00:05:38,680 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 1: through all the modules looking to see, is anybody reporting

119
00:05:41,680 --> 00:05:45,480
Speaker 1: an error that's somehow related that could be descripted. Yeah,

120
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,400
Speaker 1: there it is. Somebody. Somebody reported to do that. One

121
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:52,479
Speaker 1: more time, we get that one more time. Tony scanned

122
00:05:53,440 --> 00:05:57,159
Speaker 1: you sounded better the first time, so you know, we're

123
00:05:57,160 --> 00:06:01,760
Speaker 1: looking for something indicative of something what's going on here?

124
00:06:01,880 --> 00:06:04,800
Speaker 1: Past every scan tool test no, no relation to the

125
00:06:04,800 --> 00:06:07,000
Speaker 1: shutter could be found by way of a of a code.

126
00:06:08,920 --> 00:06:12,160
Speaker 1: We're out for a ride and I'm starting to think, now,

127
00:06:12,200 --> 00:06:14,360
Speaker 1: you know what's going on with this carpet really does

128
00:06:14,400 --> 00:06:16,440
Speaker 1: what he says it does, and it does it did.

129
00:06:17,400 --> 00:06:19,720
Speaker 1: Twenty minutes into the ride, the car starts to shutter

130
00:06:19,760 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: and shake, and it just it was just it was

131
00:06:23,400 --> 00:06:28,279
Speaker 1: fighting itself like it was gonna tear itself apart. And

132
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,640
Speaker 1: then it popped into my head. I said, this car's

133
00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:34,440
Speaker 1: got a bad break caliper on it. I don't know

134
00:06:34,480 --> 00:06:36,599
Speaker 1: why I thought like that. I said, this car's got

135
00:06:36,600 --> 00:06:38,919
Speaker 1: a bad breake. Caliper on it. I said, the calipers

136
00:06:38,960 --> 00:06:43,200
Speaker 1: starting to bind and it's dragging the car and it's overheating.

137
00:06:43,200 --> 00:06:47,400
Speaker 1: The rotor got back to the shop. I got out

138
00:06:47,400 --> 00:06:50,680
Speaker 1: my thermal imager. Thermal imagers are neat tools right there

139
00:06:50,720 --> 00:06:53,200
Speaker 1: like a fancy heat gun. It will show you the

140
00:06:53,240 --> 00:06:57,240
Speaker 1: temperature of everything in that scan related in that area.

141
00:06:58,400 --> 00:07:01,839
Speaker 1: And I went to the right front brake, caliper or

142
00:07:01,880 --> 00:07:04,719
Speaker 1: the right front wheel, and the right front wheel break

143
00:07:04,800 --> 00:07:10,240
Speaker 1: area was like anywhere from a hundred degrees. The left

144
00:07:10,280 --> 00:07:15,840
Speaker 1: front was degrees. Yeah, you know what put the car

145
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:17,720
Speaker 1: up in the air, couldn't turn the left front wheel

146
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,559
Speaker 1: it was locked on. Diagnosed out that the left front

147
00:07:21,600 --> 00:07:24,960
Speaker 1: brake hose had failed or was in the process of

148
00:07:24,960 --> 00:07:27,200
Speaker 1: failing or holding pressure, whichever way you want to look

149
00:07:27,240 --> 00:07:30,440
Speaker 1: at it. Higher mileage, eight year old car. So we

150
00:07:30,560 --> 00:07:34,320
Speaker 1: you know, we ended up overhauling the front brakes, caliper's hoses, pads, rotors,

151
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:39,920
Speaker 1: et cetera. But the point of this repair becomes knowing

152
00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,640
Speaker 1: what's good can help you find what's bad. I knew

153
00:07:44,640 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: it couldn't be a trans knew it wasn't the engine.

154
00:07:46,640 --> 00:07:49,120
Speaker 1: There were no fault codes. The cars have gotten so

155
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,760
Speaker 1: much better in terms of their diagnostic capability that you know,

156
00:07:54,480 --> 00:07:57,080
Speaker 1: and so always my first question, are there any dashlights on?

157
00:07:58,280 --> 00:08:00,040
Speaker 1: And even if it's not on, even if it's not

158
00:08:00,200 --> 00:08:02,800
Speaker 1: the first question. That's why I always say it's it's

159
00:08:02,880 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: really getting to be a very big part of the

160
00:08:05,120 --> 00:08:10,120
Speaker 1: puzzle two scan everything at least once every six months,

161
00:08:11,120 --> 00:08:12,840
Speaker 1: and I think cars are going to get better in

162
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:15,400
Speaker 1: time that that they will be able to tell us

163
00:08:15,560 --> 00:08:19,239
Speaker 1: and predict um. You know, hey, these numbers are climbing

164
00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:23,280
Speaker 1: in this particular area. Maybe ninety days from now. The

165
00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:26,200
Speaker 1: O two censor is going to fail, you know, uh

166
00:08:27,440 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: self diagnostics. I think it's something that's gonna have to

167
00:08:30,800 --> 00:08:32,560
Speaker 1: come up in the future because I don't know that

168
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:34,559
Speaker 1: the skill set is out here to repair the cars

169
00:08:34,559 --> 00:08:37,840
Speaker 1: in terms of the capability of where it's going. A

170
00:08:37,880 --> 00:08:40,840
Speaker 1: lot of the scan tools do it now. Scan tools

171
00:08:40,840 --> 00:08:44,840
Speaker 1: will now, you know, store against known good specs. Snap

172
00:08:44,880 --> 00:08:47,760
Speaker 1: On Zeus does it where they will take known good

173
00:08:47,800 --> 00:08:51,200
Speaker 1: specs and and say, you know, hey, here's what it

174
00:08:51,240 --> 00:08:54,400
Speaker 1: should be, here's what it is, and it will flag

175
00:08:54,520 --> 00:08:58,200
Speaker 1: that fault. I think the next evolution, whether it comes

176
00:08:58,200 --> 00:09:01,240
Speaker 1: from snap On or someone else, I think the next

177
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:05,400
Speaker 1: evolution will be something along the lines of perhaps the

178
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,760
Speaker 1: car will do it on its own, and perhaps it

179
00:09:07,800 --> 00:09:11,760
Speaker 1: needs to because of the diagnostic requirements because of how

180
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: technical and complicated vehicles are getting. But you know, just

181
00:09:16,720 --> 00:09:19,960
Speaker 1: something to be aware of, you know again, diagnosed, you know,

182
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:22,880
Speaker 1: eliminate what's good and you'll figure out what's bad. That's

183
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:24,319
Speaker 1: what I did on the suber U. I knew it

184
00:09:24,360 --> 00:09:26,920
Speaker 1: wasn't trans I knew it was an engine. I took

185
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: it for a road test, didn't see how it could be.

186
00:09:28,720 --> 00:09:32,360
Speaker 1: Tires thermal imager to ten one side for ten the

187
00:09:32,400 --> 00:09:34,680
Speaker 1: other side put up in the air, the calipers hanging.

188
00:09:35,200 --> 00:09:38,320
Speaker 1: Pretty straightforward diagnosis and uh, you know that car was

189
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:40,320
Speaker 1: on its way to being repaired, which it was by

190
00:09:40,320 --> 00:09:42,120
Speaker 1: the end of the week. Because getting parts, well that's

191
00:09:42,160 --> 00:09:45,559
Speaker 1: a that was a whole another story. Uh. Suber was

192
00:09:45,640 --> 00:09:48,000
Speaker 1: kind of an interesting company in terms of getting parts

193
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:51,960
Speaker 1: and pieces because it was, you know, I need this, this, this, this,

194
00:09:52,000 --> 00:09:56,920
Speaker 1: and this and the left front break cos was I

195
00:09:56,960 --> 00:10:00,120
Speaker 1: don't know, somewhere in North Dakota at some depot. It

196
00:10:00,120 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: took forever to get um uh, to which the super

197
00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,719
Speaker 1: ru guy said, yeah, we sell a few of these. Um, well,

198
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,400
Speaker 1: we don't have more in New Jersey, which is that's

199
00:10:10,400 --> 00:10:12,959
Speaker 1: a whole another story. So but anyway, diagnose what's good,

200
00:10:13,000 --> 00:10:16,439
Speaker 1: you'll figure out what's bad. Eight five five five zero zero.

201
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:17,839
Speaker 1: Ron and any of the car doctor coming back, We're

202
00:10:17,840 --> 00:10:19,840
Speaker 1: gonna open the garage doors up right after this. Don't

203
00:10:19,840 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: go away. He drives that way. But when it comes

204
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:29,120
Speaker 1: to fixing cars, Ron has card advice done right. Eight

205
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:34,600
Speaker 1: five five five zero nine zero zero. Here's Ron, are

206
00:10:34,600 --> 00:10:37,920
Speaker 1: we stuck in that Every car in the last hour

207
00:10:37,960 --> 00:10:40,439
Speaker 1: has been a two thousand eight Honda Accord what do

208
00:10:40,559 --> 00:10:42,000
Speaker 1: we just line them all up? This is the This

209
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,960
Speaker 1: is the Ron and Aian Honda Accord Show. Let's go

210
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,439
Speaker 1: over to Mike in Ohio. Two thousand eight Honda Accord

211
00:10:46,760 --> 00:10:50,200
Speaker 1: Tommy Jane won't start. Oh my god, Mike, Welcome to

212
00:10:50,200 --> 00:10:53,280
Speaker 1: the car doctor, sir. Um. It's weird. I've got to

213
00:10:53,320 --> 00:10:55,320
Speaker 1: tell you. In the last hour we've gotten You're the

214
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,640
Speaker 1: third two thousand eight Honda Accord in a row with it.

215
00:10:58,720 --> 00:11:00,640
Speaker 1: And they've all got different problems, as you guys can

216
00:11:00,679 --> 00:11:03,160
Speaker 1: all be trying to fix the same car. So what's

217
00:11:03,200 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: the story of your kid, Mike? Can you hear me? Yes?

218
00:11:08,320 --> 00:11:10,440
Speaker 1: Or now I can hear you? Tony. Tony hit the button,

219
00:11:10,440 --> 00:11:13,880
Speaker 1: he was a little confused. I picked up this car

220
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:17,560
Speaker 1: a couple weeks ago, not running, Um, and the I

221
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:20,959
Speaker 1: picked it up from a shop actually, and then to

222
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:23,199
Speaker 1: get home, put it in a new timing chain myself

223
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:27,319
Speaker 1: and watched all the YouTube videos and UM did all

224
00:11:27,320 --> 00:11:29,920
Speaker 1: the reading to make sure I got my chain links

225
00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,240
Speaker 1: in the right spots on the dots on the cogs

226
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,680
Speaker 1: and put tension on the chain to put it back together,

227
00:11:35,720 --> 00:11:39,000
Speaker 1: and it went back perfect. And then try to start

228
00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,440
Speaker 1: the car and it just turns over and doesn't fire.

229
00:11:42,600 --> 00:11:45,440
Speaker 1: How does it crank? Does it sound normal? It sounds

230
00:11:45,480 --> 00:11:47,920
Speaker 1: nice and smooth. I don't hear any clatter. Jap and

231
00:11:48,120 --> 00:11:52,320
Speaker 1: just take a compression test for giggles. Uh no, okay,

232
00:11:53,360 --> 00:11:56,240
Speaker 1: jappened to do anything cranking vacuum wise, I'm just thinking

233
00:11:56,280 --> 00:12:01,600
Speaker 1: about restricted exhaust. No jap to look for spark. No,

234
00:12:02,520 --> 00:12:06,360
Speaker 1: do we have injector pulse? I have no idea. Okay,

235
00:12:06,559 --> 00:12:09,160
Speaker 1: so those are the things you got it though? Okay,

236
00:12:09,679 --> 00:12:13,120
Speaker 1: just before I go ahead. Before I bought the car,

237
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:17,440
Speaker 1: it did run and sputter, um, but wouldn't run for

238
00:12:17,480 --> 00:12:21,599
Speaker 1: more than ten seconds. Okay, So so you bought it,

239
00:12:21,640 --> 00:12:24,559
Speaker 1: would run, sputtered. Now you did a chain and now

240
00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: it doesn't do anything right? Okay? Um? By chance? Cranking?

241
00:12:31,200 --> 00:12:34,960
Speaker 1: If do you have a scan tool? Maybe yes? Okay?

242
00:12:34,960 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: Any any sort of FULD code getting set? No? Well,

243
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,360
Speaker 1: cranking it nope? Okay? Are you just looking in? Are

244
00:12:42,400 --> 00:12:45,800
Speaker 1: you looking in pending as well as current? The only

245
00:12:46,480 --> 00:12:50,240
Speaker 1: I cleared the timing code um after I turned the

246
00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,920
Speaker 1: car over. So the only other history code is a

247
00:12:52,960 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: recall on an air bag and a seatbelt. I think, okay, well,

248
00:12:58,200 --> 00:13:02,120
Speaker 1: but but know there's there's there's there's two fault codes

249
00:13:02,440 --> 00:13:05,800
Speaker 1: in engine controllers. You know, current, what's going on now

250
00:13:05,840 --> 00:13:08,000
Speaker 1: and what's about to happen? If if, if something is

251
00:13:08,040 --> 00:13:11,320
Speaker 1: about to happen. You've looked in what we call pending

252
00:13:11,640 --> 00:13:17,040
Speaker 1: or history, um and and current. I went in the current,

253
00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:19,200
Speaker 1: but I didn't go into pending. Okay, take a look

254
00:13:19,240 --> 00:13:22,280
Speaker 1: at pending. Maybe there's something there that being that being said,

255
00:13:22,320 --> 00:13:27,280
Speaker 1: then you know, just okay, listen, pretend you just got

256
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,680
Speaker 1: the car and it cranked and didn't start. What things

257
00:13:29,679 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 1: would you be checking for? Uh? Fuel pressure? Right? You know,

258
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,760
Speaker 1: forget forget what you just did, all right, because you

259
00:13:37,760 --> 00:13:41,800
Speaker 1: know you've checked what you did, and you're you're saying

260
00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:44,920
Speaker 1: to me and yourself that the timing marks are right on,

261
00:13:45,240 --> 00:13:50,920
Speaker 1: right yep, Okay, So if the timing marks are on, now,

262
00:13:50,960 --> 00:13:52,960
Speaker 1: let's go figure out what's good. Tell me what works

263
00:13:53,000 --> 00:13:56,600
Speaker 1: on the car. All the electronics work. There's no and

264
00:13:56,640 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: there's no appearance of any water damage anywhere. Everything's clean. Um,

265
00:14:01,240 --> 00:14:04,000
Speaker 1: the car has only got a thousand miles on it.

266
00:14:04,040 --> 00:14:05,679
Speaker 1: And I was kind of surprised that I had to

267
00:14:05,679 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: replace the timing chain that soon. Um, well, it's not

268
00:14:09,880 --> 00:14:11,960
Speaker 1: you know, and then then you've got to look at

269
00:14:12,000 --> 00:14:13,640
Speaker 1: you know, how often were they change in oil. I've

270
00:14:13,679 --> 00:14:17,520
Speaker 1: seen the change stretch and jump on that generation Honda,

271
00:14:18,040 --> 00:14:21,080
Speaker 1: and you know people will just run away from the screaming.

272
00:14:21,720 --> 00:14:25,480
Speaker 1: Uh you know for a chain and you know what

273
00:14:25,560 --> 00:14:27,400
Speaker 1: you're doing is you're doing it the right way. It's

274
00:14:27,400 --> 00:14:29,080
Speaker 1: just now it's a matter of why doesn't it run?

275
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:33,360
Speaker 1: You know, compression test would clearly be in order here. Um,

276
00:14:33,680 --> 00:14:35,600
Speaker 1: clearly be a good idea. Let's just you know, let's

277
00:14:35,600 --> 00:14:37,880
Speaker 1: just say, let's just do a mechanical compression test. Let's

278
00:14:37,880 --> 00:14:40,920
Speaker 1: do a cranking vacuum check while we're doing compression. Both

279
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:43,800
Speaker 1: of those are pretty easy to do, right, Yeah? Would

280
00:14:43,800 --> 00:14:46,280
Speaker 1: I would I likely? Or is it possible that I'd

281
00:14:46,280 --> 00:14:51,400
Speaker 1: have a failed fuel pump without a code? It's possible. Sure,

282
00:14:52,480 --> 00:14:56,160
Speaker 1: you got any propane around the house, Yeah, I think so,

283
00:14:56,360 --> 00:15:00,720
Speaker 1: like like those little blue plumbers bottles of propane. Yeah. Um,

284
00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:03,160
Speaker 1: you've heard my story about I can't remember the tool

285
00:15:03,160 --> 00:15:05,800
Speaker 1: part number, but OTC makes it. It's a it's it's

286
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,560
Speaker 1: it's a Chrysler lean Burn Richmond tool. It screws on

287
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:10,640
Speaker 1: to the top of the propane bottle and it's got

288
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:12,720
Speaker 1: an adjustment knob, and you can you know, you can

289
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: meter out propane in a very small amount. And what

290
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: I'll do is I will, I will. I take a

291
00:15:18,640 --> 00:15:21,320
Speaker 1: piece of three sixteen break line, put it in the

292
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,560
Speaker 1: end of the hose. I pein it down at the

293
00:15:23,680 --> 00:15:26,640
Speaker 1: end so it's at a very sharp point, and I

294
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:29,720
Speaker 1: can now give very good direction to the propane. Feed

295
00:15:29,760 --> 00:15:33,240
Speaker 1: the motor a little propane. See if it kicks, and

296
00:15:33,960 --> 00:15:35,720
Speaker 1: you know what it's It's a tool that's less than

297
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: a hundred bucks. And even if it doesn't help you

298
00:15:38,560 --> 00:15:41,200
Speaker 1: fix this car. Wait, the first car comes in that

299
00:15:41,240 --> 00:15:44,680
Speaker 1: you're working on that that has no fuel pressure and

300
00:15:44,720 --> 00:15:46,920
Speaker 1: you get the driving in on propane, You'll be like, oh,

301
00:15:46,960 --> 00:15:49,880
Speaker 1: thank god. Um. We had a we had a ninety

302
00:15:49,960 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: nine Lincoln Continental a couple of weeks back that had

303
00:15:52,080 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 1: a fuel contamination problem. And you know, Ron's getting older

304
00:15:56,120 --> 00:15:59,320
Speaker 1: and the parking lot is getting longer and pushing that car.

305
00:15:59,360 --> 00:16:01,120
Speaker 1: And from where the toe truck drops it off because

306
00:16:01,120 --> 00:16:02,960
Speaker 1: it was after hours, so it was outside the fence.

307
00:16:03,200 --> 00:16:05,400
Speaker 1: I walked out with my bottle of propane, hooked it

308
00:16:05,480 --> 00:16:07,160
Speaker 1: up under the hood, turned the valve, start of the

309
00:16:07,160 --> 00:16:10,600
Speaker 1: car up. Droven in customers really look at you like

310
00:16:10,600 --> 00:16:12,880
Speaker 1: your nuts too. It's really good for showing effect. It

311
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:15,360
Speaker 1: really tastes. It really puts a little Ringling Brothers into

312
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,680
Speaker 1: the day. But um yeah, I mean it just you know,

313
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:21,200
Speaker 1: let's see what's good and then let's go backwards. Do

314
00:16:21,280 --> 00:16:23,320
Speaker 1: we have spark? Do we have injector pulse? We don't

315
00:16:23,360 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: have anything fancy to check for injector pulse. Have somebody

316
00:16:26,240 --> 00:16:29,280
Speaker 1: crank it over and listen with a mechanic stethoscope. Do

317
00:16:29,280 --> 00:16:31,320
Speaker 1: you hear click click, click, click click at the injector?

318
00:16:31,720 --> 00:16:33,280
Speaker 1: You want to get annoyed light. If you can get

319
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:35,440
Speaker 1: to the injector, harness, put annoyed light on it. Do

320
00:16:35,480 --> 00:16:37,720
Speaker 1: you get blink? Blink blink? If you got a blink

321
00:16:37,800 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: and you got spark and you feed it propane and

322
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:44,280
Speaker 1: it doesn't fire, you're either. We're down to, you know,

323
00:16:44,320 --> 00:16:47,920
Speaker 1: if mechanically compression is good, although it'll it'll it'll fire

324
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:53,320
Speaker 1: on one cylinder low compression, all cylinders low compression. Now

325
00:16:53,400 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 1: something's wrong, all right, that's why I want to do

326
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: a compression test. And then we're down to what's the

327
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,280
Speaker 1: chain really like? Could we be on one of the

328
00:17:01,320 --> 00:17:04,280
Speaker 1: camps um And let's go back over our diagrams one

329
00:17:04,280 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: more time and make sure. All right, So, if if

330
00:17:09,480 --> 00:17:15,480
Speaker 1: my timing was what symptom would ever be, and I'm

331
00:17:15,520 --> 00:17:17,639
Speaker 1: not saying it is, if your timing was out a

332
00:17:17,920 --> 00:17:19,680
Speaker 1: D eighty, what I'm thinking is the fact that you're

333
00:17:19,720 --> 00:17:22,240
Speaker 1: not telling me there's a backfire or a misfire, or

334
00:17:22,280 --> 00:17:25,199
Speaker 1: a stutter or a fart or something like that. You know,

335
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:28,560
Speaker 1: it's it's if combustion was occurring at the wrong moment.

336
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,000
Speaker 1: You should be telling me this this this car backfires

337
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:34,560
Speaker 1: through the intake or the exhaust, and you're not saying that.

338
00:17:35,040 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 1: It's definitely not doing that right. So that's why I

339
00:17:37,480 --> 00:17:40,360
Speaker 1: come back to doesn't have spark, doesn't have fuel, think

340
00:17:40,359 --> 00:17:41,959
Speaker 1: of it. Think of it like this, Mike, And then

341
00:17:41,960 --> 00:17:45,240
Speaker 1: I'm gonna go, if this is a one cylinder lawnmar

342
00:17:46,359 --> 00:17:48,919
Speaker 1: all right, how would you fix it? How would you

343
00:17:48,960 --> 00:17:55,159
Speaker 1: diagnose it? All the same ways? Right? An engine is

344
00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:58,960
Speaker 1: an engine is an engine. It doesn't matter. I was

345
00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:02,719
Speaker 1: always taught when you know, a million years ago, I

346
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:05,440
Speaker 1: was always taught that when you're trying to solve something,

347
00:18:05,880 --> 00:18:09,280
Speaker 1: take it out of the vehicle, separated, put it on

348
00:18:09,320 --> 00:18:12,679
Speaker 1: the bench. Will this component work by itself. If that

349
00:18:12,760 --> 00:18:16,240
Speaker 1: component works by itself, and I'm not saying do that physically,

350
00:18:16,240 --> 00:18:19,440
Speaker 1: sometimes you do it literally or mentally. If that component

351
00:18:19,480 --> 00:18:22,640
Speaker 1: works by itself, then move on to the next thing.

352
00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,280
Speaker 1: Write everything down, get a yellow pad going showing you

353
00:18:25,320 --> 00:18:27,399
Speaker 1: yourself what you did so you don't doubt it, and

354
00:18:27,440 --> 00:18:29,240
Speaker 1: sooner or later you'll get it. Call me back, let

355
00:18:29,280 --> 00:18:31,239
Speaker 1: me know what happens. I'm curious. I'm rotating. The car

356
00:18:31,280 --> 00:18:42,400
Speaker 1: doctor will return right after this when the family car

357
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:45,000
Speaker 1: needs some fixing. There's only two things that really matter,

358
00:18:45,280 --> 00:18:48,400
Speaker 1: getting the right part and getting some good advice. It's

359
00:18:48,440 --> 00:18:50,800
Speaker 1: a pretty safe bet that, with over a million parts

360
00:18:50,800 --> 00:18:53,520
Speaker 1: in stock, pet Boys has the right part right now.

361
00:18:53,960 --> 00:18:56,600
Speaker 1: The pet Boys pros are extensively trained to find the

362
00:18:56,680 --> 00:18:59,760
Speaker 1: right part for just about any car or truck. Better yet,

363
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:03,399
Speaker 1: these pros can also handle the entire installation or service needed.

364
00:19:03,720 --> 00:19:06,040
Speaker 1: It's always good to have options and no the pep

365
00:19:06,080 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: Boys pros have it covered either way. Hey, welcome back,

366
00:19:17,920 --> 00:19:20,200
Speaker 1: right nat of the card Doctor. Eight five five zero

367
00:19:20,280 --> 00:19:22,480
Speaker 1: nine zero zero is the phone number. Keep in mind

368
00:19:22,520 --> 00:19:25,680
Speaker 1: that that is seven. You can call eight five five

00:19:31,480 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: four pm Eastern Time. We are an East Coast based show,

372
00:19:34,440 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 1: East Coast Bay Show. Yeah, East Coast Bay Show, right,

373
00:19:37,200 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: I got that right. Um, we're an East Coast Bay

374
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:41,320
Speaker 1: show and you can call a five five zero nine

375

Speaker 1: nine zero zero anytime day or night. But we're live

376
00:19:43,119 --> 00:19:46,080
Speaker 1: two to four pm Saturday afternoon to want to talk

377
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,320
Speaker 1: to us live. So if you're podcasting and you want

378
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:49,960
Speaker 1: to talk to us during the live broadcast, just call

379
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:52,439
Speaker 1: the eight five five number and if not, leave a message.

380
00:19:52,480 --> 00:19:55,199
Speaker 1: Tom Ray, executive producer, will get you booked up here

381
00:19:55,240 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: in the queue for the next live broadcast. Let's go

382
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:58,439
Speaker 1: through the email. I've been trying to get through this

383
00:19:58,480 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: pile for a couple of weeks. Now I want to

384
00:19:59,880 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: get this over with. Hey, Ron, listen on one on

385
00:20:01,920 --> 00:20:04,919
Speaker 1: one point five is from Eddie up in Massachusetts, Northampton,

386
00:20:05,040 --> 00:20:10,040
Speaker 1: mass Weekly. Does cleaning the mass airflow sensor work? Should

387
00:20:10,040 --> 00:20:13,240
Speaker 1: I replace it? Thanks? Ed? You know, Eddie, depends on

388
00:20:13,280 --> 00:20:15,040
Speaker 1: what we're working on. UM. I see here it's an

389
00:20:15,080 --> 00:20:16,760
Speaker 1: O three Buig Park gab and what are we trying

390
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:19,240
Speaker 1: to achieve? What sort of problems are we having? Is

391
00:20:19,240 --> 00:20:22,760
Speaker 1: it a mass airflow sensor fault for intake air tamp

392
00:20:22,800 --> 00:20:26,119
Speaker 1: sensors some of them have Is it a performance related code?

393
00:20:26,200 --> 00:20:28,639
Speaker 1: Is it a lean condition? One of the things I

394
00:20:29,160 --> 00:20:33,360
Speaker 1: will do and I cleaning mass airflow sensors is okay, uh,

395
00:20:33,440 --> 00:20:36,880
Speaker 1: provided you're using proper chemical and you know, you want

396
00:20:36,880 --> 00:20:38,919
Speaker 1: to make sure that you're using the right stuff to

397
00:20:38,960 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: do the job. Nothing too caustic and something rated for it.

398
00:20:41,640 --> 00:20:44,439
Speaker 1: Don't use don't use throttle body cleaner to clean a

399
00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,200
Speaker 1: mass airflow sensor for example, as I have people tell

400
00:20:47,240 --> 00:20:50,480
Speaker 1: me they do, but UM, using using a good cleaner

401
00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,280
Speaker 1: for mass airflow would be a great way to start.

402
00:20:53,280 --> 00:20:56,040
Speaker 1: But before I do that, UM, what I will do,

403
00:20:56,080 --> 00:20:58,760
Speaker 1: for example, and you don't say why we're doing this, UM,

404
00:20:58,880 --> 00:21:00,159
Speaker 1: one of the things that we'll do is you know,

405
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,320
Speaker 1: what's my code? What fault issue am I having? Or

406
00:21:02,359 --> 00:21:05,639
Speaker 1: how's my fuel trimp? Usually I'm dealing with a fuel

407
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: trim problem when we start talking about mass airflow sensor faults,

408
00:21:10,080 --> 00:21:14,720
Speaker 1: So this becomes where's fuel trim? What is calculated load?

409
00:21:14,800 --> 00:21:19,399
Speaker 1: Calculated load, by the way, is a great measurement of

410
00:21:19,640 --> 00:21:23,560
Speaker 1: mass airflow sensor efficiency. What's a mass airflow sensor? I

411
00:21:23,600 --> 00:21:26,000
Speaker 1: heard somebody in the audience, say, one person, that guy

412
00:21:26,040 --> 00:21:31,159
Speaker 1: in the back breathe in, suck in, how much air

413
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:36,960
Speaker 1: you intake? Your brain says a widget. All right. Your

414
00:21:37,040 --> 00:21:39,280
Speaker 1: your heart then takes that widget of oxygen, and your

415
00:21:39,280 --> 00:21:42,200
Speaker 1: brain takes that widget of oxygen and it helps uh

416
00:21:42,359 --> 00:21:44,320
Speaker 1: dispense it and pump it through and do what it

417
00:21:44,359 --> 00:21:46,080
Speaker 1: has to do with it and balance it out with

418
00:21:46,119 --> 00:21:47,879
Speaker 1: the rest of the chemicals to keep your body in

419
00:21:48,320 --> 00:21:52,040
Speaker 1: and mind and heart moving. Rough example, but you get it.

420
00:21:52,840 --> 00:21:55,120
Speaker 1: Cars do the same thing. A car with the mass

421
00:21:55,520 --> 00:21:58,480
Speaker 1: mass airflow sensor can measure. It knows when when the

422
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:02,800
Speaker 1: engine goes and breathes in the air. The computer looks

423
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:05,920
Speaker 1: at the mass airflow censor to see what that recorded

424
00:22:06,000 --> 00:22:12,240
Speaker 1: value of is. So what happens now is it will

425
00:22:12,280 --> 00:22:14,840
Speaker 1: take that measured amount and say, well, it's drawing in

426
00:22:14,920 --> 00:22:18,760
Speaker 1: that much air. It needs this much fuel in order

427
00:22:18,800 --> 00:22:23,600
Speaker 1: for the engine to run properly. Calculated load comes into place. Here.

428
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:28,960
Speaker 1: The computer can measure by how much air being pulled

429
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:33,080
Speaker 1: in across the sensor. If it sees y instead of X,

430
00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:36,320
Speaker 1: it might say to itself, hey, Tom's foot is all

431
00:22:36,359 --> 00:22:38,960
Speaker 1: the way to the floor. It's it's under maximum load.

432
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:44,920
Speaker 1: Maximum calculated load then is the computer calculates how much

433
00:22:44,960 --> 00:22:47,919
Speaker 1: stress the engine is under. And you'll see a number

434
00:22:47,920 --> 00:22:52,760
Speaker 1: on a scan tool anywhere from zero. If your foots

435
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:55,359
Speaker 1: through the headlight, you're just your floor and you're winding

436
00:22:55,359 --> 00:22:59,240
Speaker 1: it out. A good mass airflow vehicle, you'll see anywhere

437
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:01,840
Speaker 1: from eighty five even sometimes I will see a hundred percent.

438
00:23:01,880 --> 00:23:04,280
Speaker 1: I've never seen above a hundred percent once it's a

439
00:23:04,280 --> 00:23:08,400
Speaker 1: fault in the scan tool. So back to Eddie's question, Eddie,

440
00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:10,639
Speaker 1: what's wrong with the car? What is it not doing?

441
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:13,919
Speaker 1: Is it a fuel trim fault, is it a performance issue,

442
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,080
Speaker 1: is it an intake air code? Or we just cleaning

443
00:23:16,080 --> 00:23:19,560
Speaker 1: the mass airflow is part of normal maintenance. Cleaning it

444
00:23:19,560 --> 00:23:23,240
Speaker 1: as part of normal maintenance. Generally, don't do it, not

445
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,440
Speaker 1: unless I'm operating in a real dirty environment or my

446
00:23:25,480 --> 00:23:27,360
Speaker 1: air filter is not changed regularly, And then I'm gonna

447
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:29,720
Speaker 1: scold you for a different reason, one of the reasons

448
00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: why you want to change air filters on a regular basis.

449
00:23:32,520 --> 00:23:36,480
Speaker 1: But it comes back to that. You know that mass

450
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:41,959
Speaker 1: airflow censor, if it doesn't report calculated load, clean it.

451
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: And that's the whole point of this conversation. Then clean it.

452
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:48,280
Speaker 1: Now you've got a number to work from. If you

453
00:23:48,320 --> 00:23:51,120
Speaker 1: know what fuel trim was and you know what calculated

454
00:23:51,280 --> 00:23:56,240
Speaker 1: load was, clean it is there a response, Does it

455
00:23:56,280 --> 00:23:58,520
Speaker 1: get better? Does it get better to the point where

456
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:02,080
Speaker 1: it's fine. If it gets better the point where it's fine,

457
00:24:02,400 --> 00:24:08,679
Speaker 1: meaning the numbers go from calculated load and fuel trims

458
00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:12,920
Speaker 1: look normal, leave it alone. If calculated load goes from

459
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:17,320
Speaker 1: sight and fuel trim is still high, you know the

460
00:24:17,359 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: mass airflow sensor is contributing to part of the problem.

461
00:24:20,600 --> 00:24:23,639
Speaker 1: And now you can with all their diagnosis being done,

462
00:24:23,920 --> 00:24:28,120
Speaker 1: now you can safely replace it. Good quality part that's

463
00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:30,960
Speaker 1: a whole another conversation. Make sure you're using something UM

464
00:24:31,119 --> 00:24:34,000
Speaker 1: known good quality. You want to use any junk and

465
00:24:34,119 --> 00:24:36,240
Speaker 1: UM you know that will work for you. But yeah,

466
00:24:36,240 --> 00:24:40,320
Speaker 1: mass airflow sensor. I look at mass airflow sensor. Some

467
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:43,159
Speaker 1: guys like it as maintenance, depends on the car. But

468
00:24:43,240 --> 00:24:47,600
Speaker 1: I like mass airflow sensor cleaning as a part of diagnosis,

469
00:24:47,840 --> 00:24:50,600
Speaker 1: and and and and that's a big deal for me. Um.

470
00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:54,080
Speaker 1: I like doing it for that particular reason. Ron love

471
00:24:54,119 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: the show. Listen often this comes to us from John. Um.

472
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,840
Speaker 1: You mentioned to stop leak a few weeks ago, I

473
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:01,600
Speaker 1: have a husk of varn are three two T writing

474
00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:04,080
Speaker 1: more that leaks in the trans housing. It's a common

475
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,400
Speaker 1: problem and the dealers are supposed to fix, but mind's

476
00:25:06,400 --> 00:25:08,280
Speaker 1: out of warranty. The fix was to replace the trans

477
00:25:08,280 --> 00:25:10,120
Speaker 1: and destroy the old So, hoping you may recommend something,

478
00:25:10,160 --> 00:25:12,440
Speaker 1: I can answer the fluid to make it stop leaking. John,

479
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:14,399
Speaker 1: I'm sorry to report that. No, I don't that. What

480
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:17,600
Speaker 1: you heard me talking about is something we use in

481
00:25:17,640 --> 00:25:19,639
Speaker 1: the shop and a lot of other shops use is

482
00:25:19,760 --> 00:25:23,560
Speaker 1: k Seal. K seal is a permanent head gasket repair

483
00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,919
Speaker 1: type of sealer. It works in the cooling systems and

484
00:25:26,960 --> 00:25:30,880
Speaker 1: cooling systems only. UM. It will seal anything from head gas,

485
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:33,560
Speaker 1: gets the cracked heads and porous blocks. It works really well.

486
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:35,880
Speaker 1: We've been using it uh for a very long time

487
00:25:35,920 --> 00:25:37,960
Speaker 1: in the shop. Find more at k seal dot com.

488
00:25:38,040 --> 00:25:40,679
Speaker 1: But uh, no, sir, they do not have any transmission

489
00:25:40,720 --> 00:25:43,919
Speaker 1: sealers or additives that would fix your Huska Varna or

490
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:46,800
Speaker 1: anything else for that matter in the area of transmission

491
00:25:46,840 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 1: and uh so forth. So I'm afraid you're gonna have

492
00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:55,520
Speaker 1: to get the transmission more. UM replaced last email this segment. Ron,

493
00:25:55,720 --> 00:25:57,639
Speaker 1: I'm not available during your life shows running. If you

494
00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,520
Speaker 1: get was running, if you can ask on a question, sure,

495
00:25:59,600 --> 00:26:01,560
Speaker 1: let me ask WRO a question because I'm working out

496
00:26:01,560 --> 00:26:03,439
Speaker 1: of the area. But is this still true when you

497
00:26:03,440 --> 00:26:05,520
Speaker 1: weld and exhaust on a car you're supposed to unhook

498
00:26:05,560 --> 00:26:08,239
Speaker 1: the battery. Because my wife's card just had it and

499
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:10,520
Speaker 1: it acted really weird. After we got back. The heater

500
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:12,879
Speaker 1: was blowing cold there and the spinambo jumped up by itself,

501
00:26:12,880 --> 00:26:14,440
Speaker 1: and that all kinds of weird things. And it seems

502
00:26:14,440 --> 00:26:18,399
Speaker 1: to be okay now, but we had had exhaust welding

503
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 1: on it and it just acted weird for quite a

504
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,320
Speaker 1: few miles. Thanks so much, love to listen to the show.

505
00:26:22,400 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: This is from It Doesn't say Well, mystery guest, let

506
00:26:28,320 --> 00:26:30,679
Speaker 1: me um live. Will overtake a pause. When the Car

507
00:26:30,720 --> 00:26:32,720
Speaker 1: Doctor returns, I'll give you the answer about welding on

508
00:26:32,760 --> 00:26:35,800
Speaker 1: a car with the battery connected or disconnected? Which one

509
00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,480
Speaker 1: is it? Mechanic? A mechanic b who's right? Eight five

510
00:26:38,560 --> 00:26:41,040
Speaker 1: five zero nine zero zero? Run any of the Car

511
00:26:41,119 --> 00:26:55,719
Speaker 1: Doctor coming back right after this need advice on how

512
00:26:55,760 --> 00:26:58,280
Speaker 1: to maintaining that classic g t O ron is the

513
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 1: guy five five five zero zero So we're talking about welding,

514
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: and when you weld on the car, do you disconnect

515
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:10,960
Speaker 1: the battery or or not? Two schools of thoughts. Some do,

516
00:27:11,160 --> 00:27:16,720
Speaker 1: some don't. I don't most of the time. But most

517
00:27:16,800 --> 00:27:19,359
Speaker 1: of the welding I'm doing to date has been on

518
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:24,639
Speaker 1: older vehicles ten, twelve, maybe fifteen years or older. Nothing newer.

519
00:27:25,080 --> 00:27:27,320
Speaker 1: And the difference in my mind is the amount of

520
00:27:27,320 --> 00:27:30,000
Speaker 1: computers has proliferated over the last ten years to the

521
00:27:30,040 --> 00:27:32,040
Speaker 1: point of of of what we're driving now is the

522
00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,159
Speaker 1: Space Shuttle. Now. One of the rules I've always followed

523
00:27:35,160 --> 00:27:37,520
Speaker 1: whenever I'm welding on a car is I will put

524
00:27:37,600 --> 00:27:41,199
Speaker 1: the ground as close as possible to the point of

525
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:45,080
Speaker 1: welding that I'm doing. And they say that does make

526
00:27:45,080 --> 00:27:48,680
Speaker 1: a difference. Miller actually states that Miller welding, that you

527
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:51,359
Speaker 1: know that is the recommended method. Part of the problem

528
00:27:51,359 --> 00:27:55,120
Speaker 1: with disconnecting the battery comes down to you will lose

529
00:27:55,160 --> 00:27:58,800
Speaker 1: all the adaptives and everything that the computer has learned

530
00:27:58,800 --> 00:28:01,040
Speaker 1: in the way of trans and engine operation, and now

531
00:28:01,040 --> 00:28:03,480
Speaker 1: it has to go through a learned process. And you

532
00:28:03,520 --> 00:28:07,879
Speaker 1: know that that that that can be an issue given

533
00:28:07,880 --> 00:28:11,960
Speaker 1: the amount of computers that are on newer cars. Two

534
00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:16,160
Speaker 1: thousand eight nine tens and so on. Up. I think

535
00:28:16,200 --> 00:28:19,119
Speaker 1: battery disconnect has to be the safe way to do it.

536
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:21,280
Speaker 1: And I think you've got to be prepared to do relearns.

537
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,680
Speaker 1: You know, just because something has to be done doesn't

538
00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,920
Speaker 1: mean we ignore it in terms of you know, we're

539
00:28:25,920 --> 00:28:27,159
Speaker 1: not we're not going to do it because of this

540
00:28:27,359 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: or that. So I also think it's you know, it's

541
00:28:30,600 --> 00:28:33,080
Speaker 1: it's what's going to and what continues to drive up

542
00:28:33,080 --> 00:28:36,359
Speaker 1: the cost of repair in that with the battery disconnected,

543
00:28:36,440 --> 00:28:37,800
Speaker 1: Now maybe I've got to go through and use a

544
00:28:37,840 --> 00:28:40,280
Speaker 1: scan tool and do some type of relearn with it.

545
00:28:40,400 --> 00:28:43,400
Speaker 1: So it's it's it's not the worst idea in the world.

546
00:28:43,600 --> 00:28:46,880
Speaker 1: And on a newer vehicle, yes, I would disconnect. I

547
00:28:46,920 --> 00:28:50,000
Speaker 1: would disconnect the battery UM. And you know I would

548
00:28:50,000 --> 00:28:54,360
Speaker 1: still ground as close as possible. UM. But by all

549
00:28:54,440 --> 00:28:58,280
Speaker 1: means just just some precaution. The problem becomes that and

550
00:28:58,360 --> 00:29:01,280
Speaker 1: I have seen this. Where are cards that are left

551
00:29:01,320 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: connected when welding newer vehicles? UM. Computers get scrambled, they

552
00:29:06,080 --> 00:29:08,600
Speaker 1: do some funny things. Yes, sometimes they come back, sometimes

553
00:29:08,640 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: they don't. Uh, you know, for our listener that asked

554
00:29:12,440 --> 00:29:15,640
Speaker 1: this message this question, UM, sometimes they do, they do

555
00:29:15,800 --> 00:29:17,560
Speaker 1: come back, and sometimes they don't. So you want to

556
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:19,920
Speaker 1: be you want to be cautious, especially when you start

557
00:29:19,960 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 1: seeing the price of computers. So, um, mass airflow sensor cleaning.

558
00:29:24,960 --> 00:29:28,160
Speaker 1: I just had another thought that if we're just to touch,

559
00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:30,280
Speaker 1: just to touch on this one last time, that if

560
00:29:30,320 --> 00:29:32,400
Speaker 1: we want to talk about mass airflow sensing cleaning and

561
00:29:32,440 --> 00:29:36,600
Speaker 1: the need for it, Berryman makes a mass airflow sensor cleaner,

562
00:29:36,640 --> 00:29:39,760
Speaker 1: Barryman mass air flow sensor cleaner, and like the rest

563
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:43,000
Speaker 1: of their fuel system component cleaners with their heads technology,

564
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:46,239
Speaker 1: their mass airflow sensor cleaner is a great product and um,

565
00:29:46,600 --> 00:29:48,320
Speaker 1: you know it is safe and rated for the system.

566
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:50,240
Speaker 1: Remember I said, you don't want to be using the

567
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:52,840
Speaker 1: wrong cleaner on mass airflow centers because if you do,

568
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:57,280
Speaker 1: you can have the issue with regard to causing damage.

569
00:29:57,360 --> 00:30:00,720
Speaker 1: So no carburetor cleaner, no, no throat body cleaner, no

570
00:30:00,840 --> 00:30:04,440
Speaker 1: break clean you want to use mass airflow sensor cleaner.

571
00:30:04,600 --> 00:30:07,200
Speaker 1: Berriman makes a great one. Um, get more information at

572
00:30:07,240 --> 00:30:11,160
Speaker 1: Berriman Products dot com. So um, that covers that real

573
00:30:11,240 --> 00:30:15,000
Speaker 1: quick before we pull over and take the pause. And again,

574
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:17,720
Speaker 1: I just I just want to mention this summer went

575
00:30:17,760 --> 00:30:20,320
Speaker 1: by really fast. Right. We all started out it was

576
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:22,200
Speaker 1: just fourth of July, and look at it, It's Labor Day.

577
00:30:22,200 --> 00:30:24,520
Speaker 1: It'll be it'll be Halloween, Thanksgiving, December, and we'll be

578
00:30:24,920 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: we'll be looking at Santa Claus in three months or

579
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:30,840
Speaker 1: whoever we decided to talk about in December. Um, kids

580
00:30:30,840 --> 00:30:33,120
Speaker 1: are going back to school. It's time to get the

581
00:30:33,200 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: car ready. It is September one. Um. You know, the

582
00:30:37,160 --> 00:30:39,520
Speaker 1: Car Care Council actually came out with a conversation and

583
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:41,520
Speaker 1: Rich White points out, when it comes to vehicle safety,

584
00:30:41,840 --> 00:30:44,520
Speaker 1: the brake system at the top of the list, Rich White,

585
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:46,960
Speaker 1: executive director, Cark Care Counsel, and which is right. We

586
00:30:47,160 --> 00:30:48,600
Speaker 1: we have to be aware that, you know, all of

587
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:51,200
Speaker 1: a sudden, our breaks are gonna become very very critical

588
00:30:51,280 --> 00:30:53,520
Speaker 1: around all the schools, the kids dropping off and so on.

589
00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:56,440
Speaker 1: Motorists can put a stop to any potential break problem

590
00:30:56,520 --> 00:30:59,320
Speaker 1: by recognizing the signs and symptoms. And here's some of them.

591
00:30:59,360 --> 00:31:00,959
Speaker 1: Breaks her norm were were right in for any car

592
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:03,479
Speaker 1: and eventually they're going to need to be replaced. If

593
00:31:03,520 --> 00:31:05,440
Speaker 1: your car is pulling left or right, if you hear

594
00:31:05,480 --> 00:31:08,200
Speaker 1: odd noises when you apply the brakes, you should inspect them.

595
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:11,960
Speaker 1: Other warning sides include illuminated warning, brake lamp breaks, grabbing,

596
00:31:12,040 --> 00:31:15,560
Speaker 1: low pedal field vibration, hard pedal fueling, squealing. Yeah, come on, folks,

597
00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:18,840
Speaker 1: if if, if, if you know, if you're saying to yourself, well,

598
00:31:18,920 --> 00:31:20,840
Speaker 1: it's an old car that brakes are supposed to feel

599
00:31:20,880 --> 00:31:22,640
Speaker 1: like that. You know, we could do this like a

600
00:31:22,720 --> 00:31:25,040
Speaker 1: Jeff Foxworthy thing. How to tell when your brakes are bad.

601
00:31:26,080 --> 00:31:28,440
Speaker 1: If you have to drag your foot out the door

602
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:31,960
Speaker 1: to get the car to stop, your brakes are probably bad.

603
00:31:33,280 --> 00:31:36,120
Speaker 1: If if your left foot has more tread on it

604
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:38,960
Speaker 1: than you're right, your brakes are probably bad. You get

605
00:31:39,000 --> 00:31:40,959
Speaker 1: the point. We can probably write a few of those,

606
00:31:41,000 --> 00:31:43,000
Speaker 1: Tony right, a few of those for next week. Um,

607
00:31:43,360 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: what what was that you just said about taking your

608
00:31:46,680 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: feet out the car? And if you you know, if

609
00:31:49,040 --> 00:31:51,600
Speaker 1: if your brakes might be how would we write that? If?

610
00:31:51,760 --> 00:31:54,400
Speaker 1: If your your brakes on your car might be bad.

611
00:31:55,960 --> 00:31:59,640
Speaker 1: If your left foot, if your left sneaker has less

612
00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:02,320
Speaker 1: tread on it then the right because you're dragging your foot.

613
00:32:02,840 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: I mean, what have happens If they just live in

614
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:09,719
Speaker 1: bedrock where med rock, well they're not wearing shoes, then

615
00:32:09,760 --> 00:32:11,960
Speaker 1: they get flat feet. That's how you get out of

616
00:32:12,000 --> 00:32:15,600
Speaker 1: the army. Yeah, that's what I asked. That was Fred Flintstone.

617
00:32:15,640 --> 00:32:17,960
Speaker 1: That was a whole another era. So you know why

618
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,280
Speaker 1: Fred Flintstone is not alive today because he would have

619
00:32:20,280 --> 00:32:22,000
Speaker 1: had to wear shoes his car went to get into work.

620
00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:26,920
Speaker 1: He would have slipped in the bed rock. But I

621
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:28,880
Speaker 1: can I ask you another question, as long as we're

622
00:32:28,920 --> 00:32:32,880
Speaker 1: off the subject here, how does a submarine? Can we

623
00:32:32,960 --> 00:32:35,640
Speaker 1: talk about the submarine thing again? Say goodby Iron, No,

624
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,360
Speaker 1: let's talk about No. No, I'm not I'm not gonna

625
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:40,560
Speaker 1: still to know, we're not gonna. We're not gonna. Don't

626
00:32:40,600 --> 00:32:42,400
Speaker 1: have an answer. How can a submarine go under the

627
00:32:42,480 --> 00:32:45,520
Speaker 1: ocean and be hidden if it's admitting all those oxygen

628
00:32:45,560 --> 00:32:49,080
Speaker 1: bubbles for those guys to breathe. You need a life.

629
00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,520
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you I think about these things. Let's

630
00:32:51,560 --> 00:32:54,959
Speaker 1: pull over and take a pause. Zero nine zero. I'm

631
00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,000
Speaker 1: sure there's an answer for that one too. Somewhere I'm

632
00:32:57,080 --> 00:33:05,640
Speaker 1: running any of the Car Doctor, don't go away, Welcome back,

633
00:33:05,840 --> 00:33:08,440
Speaker 1: Ron and any of the car Doctor. So bottom line, um,

634
00:33:08,880 --> 00:33:12,320
Speaker 1: when we start thinking about when we start thinking about

635
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:17,400
Speaker 1: September and getting the cars ready, breaks are important. Uh.

636
00:33:17,440 --> 00:33:19,280
Speaker 1: The car care counsel is not wrong. If you want

637
00:33:19,320 --> 00:33:21,400
Speaker 1: to know more about being car care aware, get out

638
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:23,760
Speaker 1: the carcre dot org and um, that'll do it for

639
00:33:23,880 --> 00:33:26,240
Speaker 1: you real quick. I want to do a Mitchell share

640
00:33:26,280 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 1: Track Fix of the Week. I was I was reading

641
00:33:28,200 --> 00:33:30,520
Speaker 1: this one and I liked it from the perspective of

642
00:33:31,280 --> 00:33:34,000
Speaker 1: some good old fashioned common horse sense diagnosis. We started

643
00:33:34,040 --> 00:33:36,880
Speaker 1: the show talking about common sense and how important it

644
00:33:36,960 --> 00:33:39,280
Speaker 1: is today and um what's got to be done for it?

645
00:33:39,720 --> 00:33:41,680
Speaker 1: And um, you know, I like the way they did this.

646
00:33:41,960 --> 00:33:45,720
Speaker 1: There's a Mercury sable. This real facts, real fix Sure

647
00:33:45,800 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: Track Fix of the Week is brought to you by

648
00:33:47,240 --> 00:33:49,760
Speaker 1: the folks at Mitchell one Mitchell one dot com. Uh

649
00:33:49,840 --> 00:33:53,600
Speaker 1: subject vehiclesy sable. I had a code one seventy two,

650
00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:57,160
Speaker 1: which is a system lean Bank one. Now keep in mind,

651
00:33:57,240 --> 00:34:01,040
Speaker 1: even though it reports a bank Bank one lean fault,

652
00:34:01,480 --> 00:34:03,120
Speaker 1: where else you gonna look. You're gonna go look at

653
00:34:03,160 --> 00:34:05,400
Speaker 1: bank too. They don't say that in this report, but

654
00:34:05,480 --> 00:34:09,000
Speaker 1: I would imagine that Bank two was heading towards lean

655
00:34:09,080 --> 00:34:12,320
Speaker 1: as well. Usually, if one's lean, the others lean. For

656
00:34:12,360 --> 00:34:14,320
Speaker 1: the particular fault that I'm gonna tell you what this is.

657
00:34:14,600 --> 00:34:16,879
Speaker 1: They looked at the two censors off idal they backed

658
00:34:16,880 --> 00:34:20,160
Speaker 1: pro bank one censor, one censor, one censor, two UH

659
00:34:20,280 --> 00:34:22,600
Speaker 1: signal wires and they observed them to be correct. They

660
00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:25,839
Speaker 1: fed a little propane. See there's that propane and enrichment thing. Again,

661
00:34:25,880 --> 00:34:27,759
Speaker 1: fed it a little bit of propane and they saw

662
00:34:27,800 --> 00:34:30,600
Speaker 1: the two sensors respond UH. So they knew they had

663
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:33,600
Speaker 1: good O two's. And they also found that the idle

664
00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:36,600
Speaker 1: quality improved because they had fed the engine more fuel.

665
00:34:36,840 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: They connected a smoke machine. They look for intake UH leaks.

666
00:34:40,200 --> 00:34:42,960
Speaker 1: They didn't find any. Everything checked out good. They hooked

667
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,480
Speaker 1: up a fuel pressure gauge. Fuel pressure was okay at idle,

668
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:49,840
Speaker 1: but I'm sorry, fuel pressure was They tested it at idle.

669
00:34:50,200 --> 00:34:53,440
Speaker 1: Fuel pressure was below the range of thirty five p

670
00:34:53,719 --> 00:34:56,000
Speaker 1: s I. They looked at the harness, made sure that

671
00:34:56,160 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 1: it had power and ground and at that point card

672
00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:04,640
Speaker 1: a bad fuel pumping, but just the logical sequence of diagnosis,

673
00:35:04,760 --> 00:35:07,919
Speaker 1: not just jumping in and if you notice, they check

674
00:35:08,000 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: fuel pressure and they also check to make sure it

675
00:35:11,719 --> 00:35:15,239
Speaker 1: had proper power, proper ground, and they also verified that

676
00:35:15,320 --> 00:35:18,680
Speaker 1: the engine had the ability to respond to additional fuel.

677
00:35:18,719 --> 00:35:20,680
Speaker 1: By feeding a propane they could see that the engine

678
00:35:20,680 --> 00:35:23,880
Speaker 1: would go into fuel control and respond properly to UH

679
00:35:24,080 --> 00:35:25,839
Speaker 1: to what it was doing. So they put a fuel

680
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:27,480
Speaker 1: pump in it, cleared the code through the road test

681
00:35:27,520 --> 00:35:30,600
Speaker 1: in the vehicles operated properly. All these types of fixes,

682
00:35:30,920 --> 00:35:33,920
Speaker 1: these real fix shut tracks fixes are over there at

683
00:35:33,960 --> 00:35:36,600
Speaker 1: the Mitchell one dot com website, so whether they're for you,

684
00:35:36,680 --> 00:35:38,600
Speaker 1: and they're there for everyone to read and pattern failures

685
00:35:38,840 --> 00:35:40,520
Speaker 1: and a great database, and we thank them for that.

686
00:35:40,760 --> 00:35:43,040
Speaker 1: I'm mominating in the car doctors. The mechanics aren't expensive.

687
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:43,600
Speaker 1: Their pricess
