31
00:01:41,280 --> 00:01:44,199
Speaker 1: him again. UM, you know, from the great beyond. I guess,

32
00:01:44,240 --> 00:01:46,680
Speaker 1: as you could say, is he's in blue Skies. Let's

33
00:01:46,680 --> 00:01:50,080
Speaker 1: get over and talk to Joel Michigan Toyota camera and

34
00:01:50,160 --> 00:01:52,880
Speaker 1: some problems with the way this vehicle is slowing down.

35
00:01:52,880 --> 00:01:54,840
Speaker 1: It looks like, Joel, what's going on here? Talk to me?

36
00:01:55,960 --> 00:01:59,760
Speaker 1: All right? Thanks for taking my call. Um, it's got

37
00:02:00,120 --> 00:02:04,120
Speaker 1: some miles on it. I bought it about a month ago. Um,

38
00:02:04,480 --> 00:02:09,040
Speaker 1: it's an automatic transmission. I've never had this happen like

39
00:02:09,120 --> 00:02:12,680
Speaker 1: this other than in a manual car. When I coast

40
00:02:12,760 --> 00:02:17,040
Speaker 1: up to an intersection, it feels as if the engine

41
00:02:17,480 --> 00:02:21,240
Speaker 1: is breaking the vehicle. Normally in the past. With all

42
00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:23,239
Speaker 1: my other cars, you just kind of coast up and

43
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,920
Speaker 1: your brake when you need to. This feels like I'm

44
00:02:25,960 --> 00:02:28,640
Speaker 1: in a manual transmission car, and I'm wondering if if

45
00:02:28,680 --> 00:02:31,760
Speaker 1: I'm just imagining a problem that's not there, or if

46
00:02:31,800 --> 00:02:35,360
Speaker 1: I should be checking in with my mechanic on this issue. Well,

47
00:02:35,440 --> 00:02:38,320
Speaker 1: when you say it, it feels like the engine is

48
00:02:38,520 --> 00:02:41,359
Speaker 1: causing it to drag. What's what's actually happening, Joel. Is

49
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:45,120
Speaker 1: the car stalling as it gets to the stop? Is it? Is?

50
00:02:45,160 --> 00:02:50,120
Speaker 1: It feel like the brakes are applied when they're not. Um,

51
00:02:50,280 --> 00:02:52,959
Speaker 1: it's not stalling at all. The car runs just fine.

52
00:02:53,480 --> 00:02:55,760
Speaker 1: I mean, thirty two miles of the gallon on the highway,

53
00:02:56,120 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: no complaints at all. Other things. It just feels like

54
00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,920
Speaker 1: when I used to drive a manual transmission and i'd

55
00:03:02,919 --> 00:03:06,080
Speaker 1: approach an intersection. If I didn't downshift quickly enough as

56
00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:10,240
Speaker 1: approaching the intersection, the engine would start to break or

57
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,400
Speaker 1: slow the car down. It's that lugging feeling, and I'm

58
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:17,639
Speaker 1: feeling that same thing with this car, and I've never

59
00:03:17,680 --> 00:03:20,600
Speaker 1: had that before with an automatic transmission. I'm wondering if

60
00:03:20,600 --> 00:03:24,320
Speaker 1: I'm just I don't know if you if if you

61
00:03:24,600 --> 00:03:29,280
Speaker 1: if you have you tried popping it into neutral. I

62
00:03:29,360 --> 00:03:32,520
Speaker 1: thought about doing that, but then I was worn by

63
00:03:32,560 --> 00:03:35,360
Speaker 1: my dad a long time ago. Never put a uh

64
00:03:35,400 --> 00:03:38,240
Speaker 1: an automatic transmission and neutral when it's in dry or

65
00:03:38,240 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 1: when it's on the road there. Well, for the purposes

66
00:03:41,760 --> 00:03:46,160
Speaker 1: of our test, that'll that'll understand. And I'm not saying

67
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:48,160
Speaker 1: doing it, you know, I'm not saying that doing it.

68
00:03:48,240 --> 00:03:50,360
Speaker 1: You know when when you're at fifty poppet and neutral

69
00:03:50,400 --> 00:03:52,240
Speaker 1: and just used to break to slow the vehicle down,

70
00:03:52,600 --> 00:03:54,600
Speaker 1: you know, when you get down to that next twenty

71
00:03:54,600 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 1: miles an hour, just twenty miles an hour before the stop,

72
00:03:57,120 --> 00:03:59,920
Speaker 1: as you get the sensation of this, I'll use your

73
00:04:00,120 --> 00:04:03,720
Speaker 1: term lugging feeling, if you if you pop, if you

74
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: pop it into neutral, being careful not to go into

75
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:10,880
Speaker 1: reverse because that's that's a problem obviously. Um does that

76
00:04:10,920 --> 00:04:16,120
Speaker 1: sensation go away? All right? UM? Yeah, I haven't tried it.

77
00:04:16,920 --> 00:04:19,320
Speaker 1: And what I'm thinking about is just so you know,

78
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:23,640
Speaker 1: I have had some cases where there are issues with

79
00:04:23,720 --> 00:04:28,280
Speaker 1: this particular generation camera with the brakes locking up giving

80
00:04:28,320 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: that sensation, and it's an issue with the brake booster. Okay,

81
00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:38,880
Speaker 1: all right, do the brakes feel okay, Yeah, no problems

82
00:04:38,880 --> 00:04:42,080
Speaker 1: at all, No problems. The the the power assist feels

83
00:04:42,120 --> 00:04:44,720
Speaker 1: like it's got power assist. For lack of a better

84
00:04:44,760 --> 00:04:50,160
Speaker 1: way to put it, it seems very you know, normal

85
00:04:50,279 --> 00:04:52,440
Speaker 1: to me. I you know, like I said, I haven't

86
00:04:52,440 --> 00:04:55,159
Speaker 1: had a Toyota before, so this is I'm normally a

87
00:04:55,200 --> 00:04:59,920
Speaker 1: GM guy. But the brakes feels just fine to me. Yeah,

88
00:05:00,080 --> 00:05:03,160
Speaker 1: I would. I would tell you try neutral, consider that

89
00:05:03,279 --> 00:05:06,920
Speaker 1: we possibly have a bad break booster, and obviously they're

90
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,640
Speaker 1: the thing you want your mechanic to look at is

91
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:12,480
Speaker 1: do you have a dragging break? You know? Do you

92
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:16,240
Speaker 1: have a do you have a just a normal break issue, break,

93
00:05:16,320 --> 00:05:20,240
Speaker 1: caliper break, drum issue, something's hanging up not allowing to

94
00:05:20,279 --> 00:05:25,520
Speaker 1: be fully released, creating this sensation. But there's there's there's

95
00:05:25,560 --> 00:05:30,080
Speaker 1: no because I would say that once a week, maybe

96
00:05:30,920 --> 00:05:33,400
Speaker 1: when I backed the car out at the beginning of

97
00:05:33,400 --> 00:05:37,839
Speaker 1: the day and put it back into drive. Right before

98
00:05:37,839 --> 00:05:39,240
Speaker 1: I put it back in the drive and I put

99
00:05:39,279 --> 00:05:42,719
Speaker 1: on the brakes to stop the car, there are occasions

100
00:05:42,760 --> 00:05:45,200
Speaker 1: where I hear a noise coming from the brake system,

101
00:05:45,880 --> 00:05:48,960
Speaker 1: but it's the only time that has happened. So maybe

102
00:05:49,640 --> 00:05:53,120
Speaker 1: what you're saying applies here. I don't know, Yeah it might.

103
00:05:53,320 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: I mean, listen, you bought the car used right, correct? Um.

104
00:05:57,440 --> 00:06:00,680
Speaker 1: I have never encouraged, nor have I ever her myself,

105
00:06:00,720 --> 00:06:04,440
Speaker 1: purchased a used vehicle without making the first stop the lift,

106
00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:06,240
Speaker 1: pull the wheels, look at the brakes, look at the

107
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:10,040
Speaker 1: front end. You know, do a complete inspection. Nothing against

108
00:06:10,040 --> 00:06:11,960
Speaker 1: the place that's salt the tea, and nothing against the

109
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:14,120
Speaker 1: person that drove it, worked on it before you. But

110
00:06:14,200 --> 00:06:17,400
Speaker 1: another set of eyes. You know, everybody looks at the

111
00:06:17,440 --> 00:06:20,039
Speaker 1: sun set, and everybody sees different things every day of

112
00:06:20,040 --> 00:06:22,640
Speaker 1: our lives, and you want, you want to make sure

113
00:06:22,640 --> 00:06:26,200
Speaker 1: they're seeing the right things to keep you safe. So yeah,

114
00:06:27,440 --> 00:06:30,760
Speaker 1: it might be a trip to the Yeah, but try

115
00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:34,120
Speaker 1: the neutral piece first before you go to your mechanic,

116
00:06:34,120 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: because then you can explain to them, hey, it did

117
00:06:36,240 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: or didn't make a difference, and it might save him

118
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:41,120
Speaker 1: a step and ultimately save you some money when he's

119
00:06:41,120 --> 00:06:45,440
Speaker 1: doing his diagnosis. All right, you're very welcome. Good luck

120
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: to you. Chris, Long Island six volkswagon doesn't start, And

121
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,880
Speaker 1: the problem is not only kidding, Chris, What do you

122
00:06:51,880 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: got here? Chris, Yo, Chris, Chris going once? Chris going twice. Hey,

123
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: no Chris, Okay, I guess Chriss Wolkswagen didn't start on

124
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:09,800
Speaker 1: the phone didn't work, So how the heck could that be? Hey,

125
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:11,760
Speaker 1: by the way, have you heard while they're well waiting

126
00:07:11,800 --> 00:07:13,600
Speaker 1: for them to find Chris. We'll see what happens between

127
00:07:13,640 --> 00:07:15,560
Speaker 1: now and the pause. UM, I just want to mention

128
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:17,160
Speaker 1: I'm and looking for a spot to put this in

129
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:22,080
Speaker 1: that the Toyota Highlanders, the new Highlander, has a recall.

130
00:07:22,640 --> 00:07:25,600
Speaker 1: Um the automakers recalling thirty eight thousand Highlanders because they

131
00:07:25,640 --> 00:07:28,840
Speaker 1: may stole while driving and cause a crash. And I'm

132
00:07:28,920 --> 00:07:32,080
Speaker 1: kind of surprised because this is the new Highlander that

133
00:07:32,120 --> 00:07:34,880
Speaker 1: everybody was raving about, the new body style, the new shape,

134
00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:37,480
Speaker 1: the new look, the new fit, and um, evidently it's

135
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:39,280
Speaker 1: a problem. You can go look it up on the

136
00:07:39,400 --> 00:07:41,160
Speaker 1: n h t s A website if you happen to

137
00:07:41,200 --> 00:07:43,360
Speaker 1: own one of these. UM n h t s A

138
00:07:43,480 --> 00:07:46,520
Speaker 1: campaign number is twenty Vias and Victor one sixty two.

139
00:07:47,280 --> 00:07:50,480
Speaker 1: Twenty Victor Vias and Victor one sixty two. Toyota's own

140
00:07:50,560 --> 00:07:53,720
Speaker 1: number for this recall is twenty tom Alpha zero six

141
00:07:54,160 --> 00:07:56,080
Speaker 1: and just plug your vent. It's a good idea to

142
00:07:56,120 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: do this anyway. All right, we're all sitting at home anyway,

143
00:07:58,880 --> 00:08:01,440
Speaker 1: we've got nothing else to do. Take your seventeen digit ven,

144
00:08:01,440 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: go out to n h T s A dot gov.

145
00:08:04,080 --> 00:08:06,720
Speaker 1: N h T s A dot gov. Plug in your

146
00:08:06,720 --> 00:08:09,640
Speaker 1: seventeen digit ven, which you'll find on your vehicle registration

147
00:08:09,760 --> 00:08:12,800
Speaker 1: or title, and it will tell you does your vehicle

148
00:08:12,880 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: have any open recalls? Not just Toyota's everything. Um, So

149
00:08:16,080 --> 00:08:18,800
Speaker 1: that's something that the federal government mandated about two years

150
00:08:18,800 --> 00:08:20,840
Speaker 1: ago that they wanted everybody to be aware of the

151
00:08:20,960 --> 00:08:23,840
Speaker 1: vehicle's had any recalls on them. Um, as far as

152
00:08:23,840 --> 00:08:26,280
Speaker 1: you know issues and so forth. So that's going on

153
00:08:26,320 --> 00:08:30,080
Speaker 1: with Toyota Highlanders. Something to be aware of. And somebody

154
00:08:30,120 --> 00:08:32,360
Speaker 1: passed me this note not too long ago, and I

155
00:08:32,360 --> 00:08:34,640
Speaker 1: want to put it out on air. If you have

156
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:39,439
Speaker 1: purchased jack stands from Harbor Freight, Yeah, um, what do

157
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: you hear this story? There's a certain series of jack

158
00:08:43,440 --> 00:08:48,640
Speaker 1: stands from Harbor Freight that are failing. What a great thing, right, um, improperly,

159
00:08:48,679 --> 00:08:53,839
Speaker 1: well did improper material. They've recalled a generation of these

160
00:08:53,840 --> 00:08:57,160
Speaker 1: particular jack stands. Uh, they didn't have particular numbers. I

161
00:08:57,200 --> 00:08:59,720
Speaker 1: read the article there was nothing definitive? Is that? How

162
00:08:59,720 --> 00:09:01,920
Speaker 1: did the term in that? I saw? But I would

163
00:09:02,000 --> 00:09:04,720
Speaker 1: encourage you that if you've purchased jack stands from Harbor Freight,

164
00:09:05,480 --> 00:09:07,040
Speaker 1: called him up, find out what it is, or get

165
00:09:07,040 --> 00:09:09,040
Speaker 1: out to their website. I'm sure Harbor Freight dot com,

166
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,719
Speaker 1: whatever the website is, you'll find more information. But I

167
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,720
Speaker 1: couldn't imagine being under a vehicle and having a jack

168
00:09:14,800 --> 00:09:16,559
Speaker 1: stand fail. That's got to be horrible. So we want

169
00:09:16,559 --> 00:09:18,880
Speaker 1: to keep everybody safe. You want to check that the

170
00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:23,160
Speaker 1: Harbor Freight jack stand recall eight five five zero nine zero.

171
00:09:23,240 --> 00:09:25,120
Speaker 1: Running Eating the Car Doctor. We're back right after this.

172
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:35,360
Speaker 1: Welcome back on a Nating the card doctor by five

173
00:09:35,800 --> 00:09:37,960
Speaker 1: zero nine zero the phone number. Let's get over to

174
00:09:38,000 --> 00:09:41,360
Speaker 1: Chris in Long Island. Chris, are you there, Jess? I am?

175
00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:42,800
Speaker 1: How are you doing? Good? Sir? How are you? Gee?

176
00:09:42,800 --> 00:09:44,560
Speaker 1: You changed from a Volkswagen to a camera? Did I

177
00:09:44,559 --> 00:09:46,720
Speaker 1: scare her? Did Tom get it wrong? I'm only kidding.

178
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,960
Speaker 1: So what's going on here? I have the O six,

179
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:53,720
Speaker 1: got two point five leader in it and then crank

180
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 1: no start? Uh? I got a replaced the fuel fuel filter.

181
00:10:00,400 --> 00:10:03,199
Speaker 1: I believe a'mout a few the fuel pump, purge valve.

182
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:06,440
Speaker 1: I looked all this stuff up on like YouTube repair

183
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,600
Speaker 1: videos in the idea. I never worked on the Volkswagen before.

184
00:10:09,600 --> 00:10:11,880
Speaker 1: I'm a Chevy guy myself. I could rebuild a motor,

185
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:15,360
Speaker 1: but I can't figure out how to get this cort started. Okay,

186
00:10:15,360 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: so this isn't codes good. And then I had Initially

187
00:10:21,120 --> 00:10:25,160
Speaker 1: I had a three to one ignition distributors, circuit range

188
00:10:25,160 --> 00:10:27,960
Speaker 1: performance open, but then I replaced the crank censor and

189
00:10:27,960 --> 00:10:31,600
Speaker 1: that went away. And I'm still having the twenty four

190
00:10:31,720 --> 00:10:36,240
Speaker 1: hundreds still showing up even after I replaced the leak

191
00:10:36,320 --> 00:10:39,720
Speaker 1: protection pump. Okay, what what is this? Because Mike cole

192
00:10:39,800 --> 00:10:42,199
Speaker 1: screen says, oh, six Toyota camera. I think Tom's scoring

193
00:10:42,240 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: around with me. It's a Volkswagen Jetta. Oh that's Tom.

194
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:49,720
Speaker 1: I love him to death. So it's a v W

195
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:54,240
Speaker 1: Jetta with a two five and it doesn't start. Was

196
00:10:54,280 --> 00:10:56,240
Speaker 1: it a case that you went out there one morning

197
00:10:56,240 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: it started, then the next morning it didn't. Or did

198
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:01,640
Speaker 1: you buy this car used this way? Uh? Bored to

199
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:05,079
Speaker 1: used this way. I don't know its history uh as

200
00:11:05,120 --> 00:11:08,240
Speaker 1: far as that, but it was running fine and then

201
00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 1: one day it was coming up the driveway and uh

202
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:14,600
Speaker 1: it does? It just stopped and there's no fuel getting

203
00:11:14,640 --> 00:11:17,679
Speaker 1: to the motor whatsoever. Okay, So the fuel pump, do

204
00:11:17,720 --> 00:11:20,240
Speaker 1: you have fuel pressure? If you turn the key on? UM?

205
00:11:20,600 --> 00:11:22,920
Speaker 1: Do you have do you have fuel pressure? You know?

206
00:11:23,679 --> 00:11:28,200
Speaker 1: In prank mode? Does it prime the rail? Nothing? Okay?

207
00:11:28,240 --> 00:11:30,920
Speaker 1: So so we've got it. We've got a a fuel

208
00:11:30,960 --> 00:11:33,880
Speaker 1: pump activation faull. Do we have spark? Do we have

209
00:11:33,920 --> 00:11:38,720
Speaker 1: injector pulse? We did have sparks because I put the

210
00:11:38,720 --> 00:11:41,800
Speaker 1: start of fluid and down through the throttle body chamber

211
00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:43,880
Speaker 1: in there and it's it's started for as long as

212
00:11:43,880 --> 00:11:46,280
Speaker 1: the fluid was in there, and then it would just stop. Okay,

213
00:11:46,320 --> 00:11:48,400
Speaker 1: So we have spark, we must we We were not

214
00:11:48,440 --> 00:11:51,960
Speaker 1: sure if we have injector pulse. Yes, you've got a

215
00:11:51,960 --> 00:11:56,960
Speaker 1: mechanics You've got a mechanics stethoscope that I don't have. UM,

216
00:11:57,040 --> 00:11:58,520
Speaker 1: do you have something you can just listen to? What

217
00:11:58,559 --> 00:12:00,120
Speaker 1: I want you to do is I want you to

218
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:02,040
Speaker 1: listen to the injectors. If you can get to them

219
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:04,160
Speaker 1: and just listen for a click, have somebody crank it

220
00:12:04,559 --> 00:12:08,000
Speaker 1: and listen for the click click click is the injector

221
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,680
Speaker 1: being fired. If the injector and the chances are that

222
00:12:11,720 --> 00:12:14,719
Speaker 1: it is that it is, but it's a very definitive

223
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,200
Speaker 1: moment on any car. If you have a vehicle that

224
00:12:17,240 --> 00:12:20,959
Speaker 1: has spark, no injector pulse versus spark and injector pulse

225
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,640
Speaker 1: in the fuel pumps not being energized, it's a it's

226
00:12:23,679 --> 00:12:27,600
Speaker 1: a different set of parameters, all right. So you know

227
00:12:27,679 --> 00:12:29,400
Speaker 1: that's a and that's a simple enough thing to do.

228
00:12:29,440 --> 00:12:30,960
Speaker 1: If you're a car guy and you're gonna be working

229
00:12:30,960 --> 00:12:33,640
Speaker 1: on cars for a while, you know it's it's it's

230
00:12:33,679 --> 00:12:35,319
Speaker 1: it's a cheap fix. Just run down to your local

231
00:12:35,320 --> 00:12:38,120
Speaker 1: loder part store by a set of mechanics or paramechanic

232
00:12:38,200 --> 00:12:42,320
Speaker 1: stethoscope and and you know, just listen for it, all right. Um,

233
00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:45,120
Speaker 1: if you go back to the fuel pump, you've got

234
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:50,480
Speaker 1: voltage there, yes or no, Yes, you have vaultedge, you

235
00:12:50,480 --> 00:12:54,120
Speaker 1: have power and ground to the fuel pump. That is

236
00:12:54,360 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: that is a certainty. I didn't put a volt in

237
00:12:58,960 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 1: me in their on it right at Okay? Do this? Okay,

238
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,640
Speaker 1: do this disconnect the fuel pump connector you've got an

239
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:07,920
Speaker 1: old you got an old style round or square headlight

240
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:13,760
Speaker 1: floating around. I could check. That's not a big idea. Possibly,

241
00:13:14,080 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: you know, see if you can. If you if you

242
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:18,120
Speaker 1: go to crank, does the headlight light up? The headlight

243
00:13:18,160 --> 00:13:20,200
Speaker 1: will pull about seven ams of current. It may not

244
00:13:20,280 --> 00:13:22,440
Speaker 1: match what a fuel pump does, but at least it

245
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,720
Speaker 1: loads the circuit enough so that you'll know, Hey, i've

246
00:13:25,800 --> 00:13:30,080
Speaker 1: i've I've got power here, all right? If if you

247
00:13:30,120 --> 00:13:32,920
Speaker 1: can light a headlight, that fuel pump has to run,

248
00:13:33,800 --> 00:13:35,960
Speaker 1: or you've got a bad pump. Did you put a

249
00:13:35,960 --> 00:13:42,360
Speaker 1: pump in this? Yes? Okay, so you see the logic here,

250
00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,680
Speaker 1: something's missing if you've got power and ground. If you've

251
00:13:45,679 --> 00:13:49,439
Speaker 1: truly got power and ground, and that pump doesn't turn on,

252
00:13:49,840 --> 00:13:51,679
Speaker 1: take the pump out of the car, hook it up

253
00:13:51,679 --> 00:13:55,160
Speaker 1: to a battery. Does the pump spin? Did I ever

254
00:13:55,160 --> 00:13:59,360
Speaker 1: tell you the story about how new parts don't work? Yes?

255
00:13:59,440 --> 00:14:03,400
Speaker 1: I did hear one? Yeah? Okay, uh, you know, let's

256
00:14:03,520 --> 00:14:06,400
Speaker 1: let's start here before we go any further, before we

257
00:14:06,440 --> 00:14:10,200
Speaker 1: get any deeper into this, all right, Because you're telling

258
00:14:10,240 --> 00:14:11,760
Speaker 1: me that you turn the key to the to the

259
00:14:11,760 --> 00:14:14,040
Speaker 1: crank position and you don't have any fuel pressure? Correct?

260
00:14:15,240 --> 00:14:18,840
Speaker 1: I have zero? Right, So why isn't the pump turning on?

261
00:14:19,040 --> 00:14:22,480
Speaker 1: If you've got powering ground? At the terminal for the pump.

262
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,240
Speaker 1: You're either on the wrong two wires or you've got

263
00:14:26,240 --> 00:14:28,880
Speaker 1: a bad new part, or the two inches between the

264
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,760
Speaker 1: pump and the top of the connector and the tank

265
00:14:31,520 --> 00:14:34,240
Speaker 1: is somehow damaged and it's not applying allowing the pump

266
00:14:34,280 --> 00:14:40,440
Speaker 1: to run. Okay, I do believe that it's not the pump,

267
00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:42,960
Speaker 1: because I did take you back out and tested it,

268
00:14:43,720 --> 00:14:45,880
Speaker 1: just like you said to check. I test the old

269
00:14:45,880 --> 00:14:47,880
Speaker 1: one to believe or not. It wasn't. The old pump

270
00:14:47,960 --> 00:14:51,480
Speaker 1: wasn't bad either. Okay, it's fun. So this new one

271
00:14:51,480 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: I figured I put the new one in because I

272
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:55,080
Speaker 1: already bought. I can listen, I can think that we've

273
00:14:55,120 --> 00:14:57,960
Speaker 1: all been there. But think about the logic here. You're

274
00:14:58,000 --> 00:15:00,520
Speaker 1: telling me you've got power and ground at the pump,

275
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,080
Speaker 1: and the pump still doesn't run, and when you and

276
00:15:05,120 --> 00:15:09,040
Speaker 1: when you cycle the key off, the voltage disappears at

277
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,920
Speaker 1: the pump, showing that the PCM is in control of

278
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:16,800
Speaker 1: applying voltage or not to the fuel pump circuit that

279
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: it does. Yes, okay, then let's you know what's left.

280
00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:26,840
Speaker 1: You got this also, is I replaced the relay fused

281
00:15:27,400 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 1: when it's on to the hood. It says, we'll like

282
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:31,760
Speaker 1: one on the top of it, like a ceramic five prong.

283
00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,560
Speaker 1: I'm gonna I thought that was the relay for the fuel.

284
00:15:38,840 --> 00:15:41,760
Speaker 1: But wait a minute, listen, and I say this with love.

285
00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,880
Speaker 1: All Right, you prove to yourself you've got powering ground

286
00:15:46,040 --> 00:15:50,120
Speaker 1: at the pump. All right, you're a smart guy. You

287
00:15:50,160 --> 00:15:53,280
Speaker 1: know you're a smart guy. Right, you're a smart guy.

288
00:15:53,360 --> 00:15:56,720
Speaker 1: You're no dummy. Look how far you've come. Right, you

289
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,120
Speaker 1: proved that you got powering ground at the pump. You

290
00:15:59,240 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: tested the palm. Either you don't have power and ground

291
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:05,040
Speaker 1: at the pump and your test and something wrong, or

292
00:16:05,600 --> 00:16:08,560
Speaker 1: there's a break in the wiring harness between the top

293
00:16:08,600 --> 00:16:14,000
Speaker 1: of the pump module and the pump itself. Pump module. Okay,

294
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,560
Speaker 1: all right, when I say pump module, I mean the pump.

295
00:16:16,840 --> 00:16:20,840
Speaker 1: The pump is in the tank, correct, right, So that's

296
00:16:20,880 --> 00:16:23,280
Speaker 1: the pump module, the piece that the pump attaches to.

297
00:16:23,640 --> 00:16:27,240
Speaker 1: European cars tend to you know, you domestic car chevs.

298
00:16:27,520 --> 00:16:29,440
Speaker 1: How many fuel pump modules? If you've done right where

299
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:34,240
Speaker 1: you changed the whole thing sender pump and all right? Yeah,

300
00:16:34,240 --> 00:16:37,360
Speaker 1: they right there? You just you just if if well,

301
00:16:37,400 --> 00:16:39,040
Speaker 1: if you have it. If you've ever done it, you

302
00:16:39,160 --> 00:16:41,600
Speaker 1: just change the whole thing. You don't do it by component.

303
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:46,080
Speaker 1: European cars, you're gonna change the individual pump, individual sender,

304
00:16:46,320 --> 00:16:48,400
Speaker 1: although now I think they're going to a module style.

305
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:52,280
Speaker 1: But you get my point. Go find it. Go go

306
00:16:52,440 --> 00:16:54,560
Speaker 1: find a headlight. Put a headlight to where the fuel

307
00:16:54,560 --> 00:16:58,000
Speaker 1: pump connector is. You gotta have power and ground. If

308
00:16:58,040 --> 00:17:01,240
Speaker 1: that lights the headlight, make can stand out by itself.

309
00:17:01,520 --> 00:17:03,800
Speaker 1: I don't care how you do it. Find a spot

310
00:17:03,800 --> 00:17:05,760
Speaker 1: in the harness, cut the harness, make your two leads,

311
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:08,320
Speaker 1: although I prefer to use use the pin connectors that

312
00:17:08,359 --> 00:17:10,879
Speaker 1: the harnesses attached to the pump with you can prove

313
00:17:10,920 --> 00:17:13,720
Speaker 1: them good. You gotta be alt to light a headlight.

314
00:17:14,600 --> 00:17:17,879
Speaker 1: It's got a light. A headlight doesn't work. What do

315
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:20,040
Speaker 1: we do after that? Though? Well, if it doesn't. If

316
00:17:20,080 --> 00:17:22,680
Speaker 1: it doesn't light a headlight, now you can go back

317
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:24,560
Speaker 1: and look at the power supply and the source and

318
00:17:24,600 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: start working the circuit back, get a wiring diagram. What

319
00:17:28,240 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 1: what applies power to the fuel pump? All right, but

320
00:17:32,560 --> 00:17:34,000
Speaker 1: you're not gonna have that because you said you've got

321
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:38,520
Speaker 1: power and ground. A headlight. A headlight kind of makes

322
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:42,600
Speaker 1: it fool proof. It either lights it or it doesn't. Okay,

323
00:17:42,840 --> 00:17:44,920
Speaker 1: all right, that's what it wasn't. Gonna have to backtrack

324
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:47,920
Speaker 1: and then and then we'll talk next time. Doesn't work

325
00:17:47,960 --> 00:17:50,280
Speaker 1: the headline idea doesn't work, then and have to backtrack

326
00:17:50,320 --> 00:17:54,040
Speaker 1: to it a power source going, and then we can

327
00:17:54,040 --> 00:17:56,399
Speaker 1: talk next week. Alright. That gives you your homework for

328
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:59,760
Speaker 1: this week, Chris, alright, sir, Okay, thank you so much.

Speaker 1: And I appreciate the fact that all of you allow

340
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:07,840
Speaker 1: me to step a little bit out of character this

341
00:19:07,920 --> 00:19:11,040
Speaker 1: time every year, as we welcome back Uncle Steve, my

342
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:13,320
Speaker 1: my uncle. You know, when I first got to know

343
00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:15,640
Speaker 1: Uncle Steve as a little kid, as silly as this sounds,

344
00:19:16,160 --> 00:19:19,360
Speaker 1: he was that magical guy that was always mixing egg

345
00:19:19,400 --> 00:19:22,120
Speaker 1: knock at the last minute on Christmas Eve, and he

346
00:19:22,320 --> 00:19:24,480
Speaker 1: was always in Stephen and Nany in three ninth Fighter

347
00:19:24,480 --> 00:19:26,800
Speaker 1: Group eight Air Force fluke his magic. We couldn't figure

348
00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,919
Speaker 1: out how that worked. His his thumb could magically come apart,

349
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,680
Speaker 1: and we always laughed and chuckled, and we were a

350
00:19:31,720 --> 00:19:33,960
Speaker 1: little scared of Uncle Steve because he was he was

351
00:19:34,040 --> 00:19:37,199
Speaker 1: magical like that. I didn't learn until years later that

352
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:39,840
Speaker 1: the true magic with Uncle Steve was um what he

353
00:19:39,880 --> 00:19:42,639
Speaker 1: did during the war and some of the conversations we

354
00:19:42,760 --> 00:19:44,800
Speaker 1: I had with him. As I grew into a into

355
00:19:44,800 --> 00:19:46,679
Speaker 1: a young adult and an adult, I really came to

356
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,240
Speaker 1: appreciate what it is he, like so many of his

357
00:19:49,320 --> 00:19:52,720
Speaker 1: generation and the generations before and after, have done and

358
00:19:52,760 --> 00:19:54,760
Speaker 1: continue to do to keep us safe. And we thought

359
00:19:54,800 --> 00:19:57,800
Speaker 1: we would honor him as we do so every year,

360
00:19:57,800 --> 00:19:59,760
Speaker 1: and welcome back here to the car doctor Uncle Steve.

361
00:19:59,800 --> 00:20:01,960
Speaker 1: I love you. It's great to talk to you here today.

362
00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 1: I love you too, Kie, and nice to talk to you,

363
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:09,560
Speaker 1: you and your listeners again, and uh I write there

364
00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:16,520
Speaker 1: um our gratitude tells people that serve our country for us,

365
00:20:16,760 --> 00:20:20,680
Speaker 1: for our freedom, is that we enjoyed today. And that's

366
00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:22,679
Speaker 1: part of what this is about, right, Uncle Steve. I

367
00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:27,000
Speaker 1: mean absolutely, Memorial Day is not about barbecues and and

368
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:29,080
Speaker 1: and sales at the mall. What's it about to you?

369
00:20:29,119 --> 00:20:30,680
Speaker 1: What does it mean to you as a veteran of

370
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:36,840
Speaker 1: World War Two? Well? Uh, we we think of what

371
00:20:37,040 --> 00:20:43,440
Speaker 1: all those people were did for us, what they were

372
00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:48,280
Speaker 1: done for history, to free this world that we have

373
00:20:48,960 --> 00:20:52,719
Speaker 1: the pleasure to live in. It's something that we. Uh.

374
00:20:55,080 --> 00:21:00,240
Speaker 1: I have expanded my family all the orange of my fit.

375
00:21:00,440 --> 00:21:03,800
Speaker 1: We work meat annually every year. We've been doing so

376
00:21:04,040 --> 00:21:09,000
Speaker 1: for study five years. I can't believe it's seventy years ago.

377
00:21:09,720 --> 00:21:13,919
Speaker 1: And I take my time now to explain to people

378
00:21:14,560 --> 00:21:17,440
Speaker 1: what happened during World War Two, because as I said,

379
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:19,879
Speaker 1: it was seventy years ago, and a lot of the

380
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:25,800
Speaker 1: young up for generation cannot remember or know what happened

381
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:28,480
Speaker 1: at that time. They it's I guess it's it's hard

382
00:21:28,560 --> 00:21:31,560
Speaker 1: for them to relate. But yet then we turn around

383
00:21:31,640 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: and and not to single arout because well, we will

384
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:37,640
Speaker 1: have to single are out then kids like Katie, my daughter,

385
00:21:37,760 --> 00:21:41,760
Speaker 1: your your your niece, your great niece. Um, she volunteers

386
00:21:41,760 --> 00:21:44,080
Speaker 1: and goes to Afghanistan, and you think that, you know what,

387
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:46,760
Speaker 1: maybe the younger generation does get it like so many

388
00:21:46,800 --> 00:21:48,920
Speaker 1: of her generation. And she's gonna yell at me because

389
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:51,960
Speaker 1: I'm singling around Uncle Steve, so help me. But you're right,

390
00:21:52,040 --> 00:21:56,160
Speaker 1: because I was going to mention how because we just

391
00:21:57,160 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: over and people like her gratitude because that we have today.

392
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:09,360
Speaker 1: You know when when I was younger and we used

393
00:22:09,400 --> 00:22:11,560
Speaker 1: to get together at the House and River Edge, I

394
00:22:11,560 --> 00:22:16,679
Speaker 1: remember you telling us a story or stories, um, where

395
00:22:17,200 --> 00:22:19,160
Speaker 1: when you were in England, when you were at Foulmire

396
00:22:19,240 --> 00:22:21,959
Speaker 1: with the three thirty nine, that it got to the

397
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:27,600
Speaker 1: point with as new flyers came in you almost didn't

398
00:22:27,640 --> 00:22:29,760
Speaker 1: want to get to know them and there was a

399
00:22:29,800 --> 00:22:31,639
Speaker 1: reason for that. Do you remember that story? Do you

400
00:22:31,640 --> 00:22:38,239
Speaker 1: remember explaining that to me with regard to well it was?

401
00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: It was? It really stuck with me even all these

402
00:22:41,160 --> 00:22:44,000
Speaker 1: years later, because you said, Ron, we you know, we

403
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:46,680
Speaker 1: we would go through flyers on such a regular basis

404
00:22:47,359 --> 00:22:49,720
Speaker 1: that it got to the point where the guys living

405
00:22:49,720 --> 00:22:51,240
Speaker 1: in the tent with us. We didn't want to get

406
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,240
Speaker 1: to know their name because if they were gone the

407
00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,360
Speaker 1: next day, it just tore away at you in such

408
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,800
Speaker 1: a way that you know, it's just one more person gone,

409
00:23:00,600 --> 00:23:06,159
Speaker 1: let's go. And you know, you get at the briefing

410
00:23:06,960 --> 00:23:10,879
Speaker 1: and if our commanding officer said the guys, we have

411
00:23:11,000 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 1: a tough mission today. How dored of you guys are

412
00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,920
Speaker 1: going out and only one that is going to come back.

413
00:23:17,400 --> 00:23:21,600
Speaker 1: I looked around everybody, so lets you know, it's uh,

414
00:23:22,600 --> 00:23:26,160
Speaker 1: I'm sorry for them. But you thought you were but

415
00:23:27,359 --> 00:23:30,119
Speaker 1: and that's what kept your going right. You just you

416
00:23:30,280 --> 00:23:33,240
Speaker 1: just well, you know, and you forget because I also

417
00:23:33,280 --> 00:23:35,600
Speaker 1: remember you telling me because I asked you once, uncle Steve,

418
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:37,160
Speaker 1: how did you do it? How did you march off

419
00:23:37,200 --> 00:23:41,040
Speaker 1: to war and you know, not think or think about

420
00:23:41,119 --> 00:23:43,520
Speaker 1: coming home? And you told me once. Ron. When I

421
00:23:43,560 --> 00:23:46,040
Speaker 1: got there, I just assumed I was dead and I

422
00:23:46,040 --> 00:23:47,680
Speaker 1: did what I had to do, and if I got back,

423
00:23:47,680 --> 00:23:49,199
Speaker 1: I was just one of the lucky ones. And I

424
00:23:49,200 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: never forgot that either. You you really had a mindset.

425
00:23:52,680 --> 00:23:55,639
Speaker 1: That whole generation had a mindset, is the mindset of

426
00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:58,399
Speaker 1: all the generations have have have come and gone since

427
00:23:58,440 --> 00:24:01,240
Speaker 1: that you know, it really is a dedication to duty

428
00:24:01,960 --> 00:24:04,520
Speaker 1: um uh for for someone to march off to defend

429
00:24:04,560 --> 00:24:07,359
Speaker 1: the country. And that's really what Memorial Day is all about.

430
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 1: It's it's not about I'd like to tell you something. Uh.

431
00:24:12,880 --> 00:24:16,880
Speaker 1: The Japanese a top Pearl Harbor on the seven seventh.

432
00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:20,520
Speaker 1: At that time, it was a Sunday. I was a

433
00:24:20,520 --> 00:24:23,880
Speaker 1: student at ny U. In fact, when I heard about it,

434
00:24:24,080 --> 00:24:27,040
Speaker 1: I was working out in a gym at n y U.

435
00:24:27,119 --> 00:24:29,000
Speaker 1: And when I heard that those that went Russia at

436
00:24:29,040 --> 00:24:33,080
Speaker 1: home to tell my family that what happened, and also

437
00:24:33,640 --> 00:24:36,600
Speaker 1: to explain to my parents that I was going to

438
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:39,080
Speaker 1: go off and join the army. I was going to

439
00:24:39,200 --> 00:24:45,160
Speaker 1: become an aviation cadet. And when we got home, we

440
00:24:45,160 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: were having those days. We used to have an early dinner.

441
00:24:48,440 --> 00:24:52,960
Speaker 1: At lunch it was you know, uh Sunday. And so

442
00:24:53,720 --> 00:24:56,679
Speaker 1: after dinner, I said to my father, I'd like to

443
00:24:56,680 --> 00:24:59,280
Speaker 1: talk to your dad and say, well, we used to

444
00:24:59,320 --> 00:25:01,919
Speaker 1: go in a living home and he would bring his

445
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,960
Speaker 1: coffee and his cigarettes, and uh, i would bring my

446
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:10,399
Speaker 1: glass of milk and to the really room, and I'm

447
00:25:10,400 --> 00:25:15,800
Speaker 1: preparing to tell him that I'm going to join the aviation.

448
00:25:15,880 --> 00:25:20,399
Speaker 1: Did that and I was stammering around and my father

449
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:24,199
Speaker 1: turns around and sayestimate, his son, your country needs you.

450
00:25:24,280 --> 00:25:26,560
Speaker 1: What are you gonna do about it? And that was

451
00:25:27,320 --> 00:25:30,399
Speaker 1: the way it was. And I said, I'm going to

452
00:25:30,640 --> 00:25:34,119
Speaker 1: joy joined up with the Army Air Corps and the

453
00:25:34,200 --> 00:25:36,840
Speaker 1: next day I went to Grand Palace at Grand Central

454
00:25:36,840 --> 00:25:40,840
Speaker 1: Palace in New York on December eighth, and I enlisted

455
00:25:41,400 --> 00:25:43,760
Speaker 1: in the Army. And that was the story of that.

456
00:25:44,640 --> 00:25:48,040
Speaker 1: It kind of clicked in place for you, and yeah,

457
00:25:48,760 --> 00:25:50,919
Speaker 1: it was something you had to do. In fact, I

458
00:25:50,960 --> 00:25:54,879
Speaker 1: gotta tell you something. I love flying. I mean when

459
00:25:54,920 --> 00:25:58,760
Speaker 1: I finished my wife mission I had, I was, I

460
00:25:58,880 --> 00:26:02,680
Speaker 1: had phoned six combat missions and I came home and

461
00:26:02,760 --> 00:26:06,440
Speaker 1: my command and said, the commanding officer said, okay, Steve,

462
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:09,119
Speaker 1: this is it. Thank you so much. That's what it is.

463
00:26:09,160 --> 00:26:13,320
Speaker 1: The last mission. You're going home tomorrow. I said, no, no, no, please,

464
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:17,480
Speaker 1: I right to fly a couple of missions because the

465
00:26:17,520 --> 00:26:20,000
Speaker 1: world was ending and we were shooting Don German's right

466
00:26:20,040 --> 00:26:23,760
Speaker 1: and left. I mean, this is what I have been

467
00:26:24,000 --> 00:26:26,679
Speaker 1: fighting for. But he said, no, this is it. I

468
00:26:26,720 --> 00:26:29,960
Speaker 1: won't if something happened to you, I couldn't fish your mother.

469
00:26:30,119 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: And that was, you know, Uncle Steve. I read and

470
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:37,359
Speaker 1: I've I've I've read and reread Ramrod to Munster your story,

471
00:26:37,400 --> 00:26:39,160
Speaker 1: and it's out on the internet for anyone that wants

472
00:26:39,160 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: to find it if they google Ramrod to Munster um.

473
00:26:43,600 --> 00:26:47,240
Speaker 1: It talks about your first combat mission and in recent years,

474
00:26:47,560 --> 00:26:50,240
Speaker 1: your wingman that day when you were shot down and

475
00:26:50,280 --> 00:26:53,880
Speaker 1: went into the channel. Tom Rich wrote an addendum, and

476
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,840
Speaker 1: I giggle, and I'll say it right here on National Radio.

477
00:26:56,960 --> 00:26:59,919
Speaker 1: I giggle every year every time that I read it,

478
00:27:00,440 --> 00:27:02,760
Speaker 1: because he would. He talks about you and what it

479
00:27:02,840 --> 00:27:04,760
Speaker 1: meant to have you as a wingman. But the line

480
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,080
Speaker 1: that really gets to me is where he said, and

481
00:27:07,080 --> 00:27:09,359
Speaker 1: I was very blessed to have a wingman like Steve

482
00:27:09,480 --> 00:27:12,120
Speaker 1: Innanian because every time we could see faces, I would

483
00:27:12,119 --> 00:27:14,840
Speaker 1: look over and he was sitting very calmly, looking around

484
00:27:15,119 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: and smiling as if he enjoyed what he was doing.

485
00:27:18,119 --> 00:27:23,240
Speaker 1: I really think you enjoyed it, Uncle Steve. I think, yeah, yeah,

486
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:27,840
Speaker 1: you know. On D Day I wasn't there, but d

487
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,520
Speaker 1: Jay several powers or leave in London when they heard

488
00:27:32,560 --> 00:27:37,560
Speaker 1: on the radio that the radion I thought it all

489
00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:42,880
Speaker 1: rushed back to our outfit and foo missions D Day

490
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:47,400
Speaker 1: with free combat missions day, and these guys got back

491
00:27:47,440 --> 00:27:51,600
Speaker 1: and through at least love missions and following two days,

492
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:55,600
Speaker 1: three days, three missions a day. So speaking of speaking

493
00:27:55,720 --> 00:27:59,840
Speaker 1: speaking of getting back into our powers from d Jay summer,

494
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,320
Speaker 1: twenty hours of flying time and they loved every minute

495
00:28:03,359 --> 00:28:10,960
Speaker 1: of it. Yeah, there's only twenty four hours day. Yes, well,

496
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:15,240
Speaker 1: it was something that we were doing. That was was

497
00:28:15,480 --> 00:28:18,720
Speaker 1: the war of the world through, you know we went

498
00:28:18,800 --> 00:28:21,960
Speaker 1: to anyway, one of the hardest books to get was

499
00:28:22,040 --> 00:28:26,159
Speaker 1: a German English Dictionary because the Blitz were so so

500
00:28:26,640 --> 00:28:30,240
Speaker 1: certain that the Germans were going to invade England and

501
00:28:30,359 --> 00:28:33,840
Speaker 1: it would be you know occupied. Yeah, can you imagine that,

502
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,760
Speaker 1: Uncle Steve when we come back. Uh, we we've talked

503
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:38,640
Speaker 1: a lot about you flying the plane. I want you

504
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:41,400
Speaker 1: to think about the story you told me about when

505
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: you were shot down over Germany and what transpired that day.

506
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:46,280
Speaker 1: We'll have a couple of minutes when we returned. Sit tight.

507
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: I'm Ronandi in the car doctor here with Uncle Steve.

514
00:29:17,080 --> 00:29:20,160
Speaker 1: We we love talking to you here on here every year. Um.

515
00:29:20,760 --> 00:29:23,360
Speaker 1: There was a particular episode I think is appropriate at

516
00:29:23,400 --> 00:29:27,640
Speaker 1: this time of year only because Sue, my wife, you

517
00:29:27,720 --> 00:29:29,720
Speaker 1: know that, and Carol and our oldest had traveled to

518
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,120
Speaker 1: Germany and they went to where you were shot down

519
00:29:33,920 --> 00:29:36,560
Speaker 1: and realized the distance from there to France and it's

520
00:29:36,600 --> 00:29:39,800
Speaker 1: not exactly around the corner. Um. Can you tell us

521
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:43,760
Speaker 1: about that day when you were shot down? What was happening?

522
00:29:44,560 --> 00:29:50,480
Speaker 1: We were escorting the Obamas. After we completed escating the Obamas,

523
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:55,120
Speaker 1: we flew back and we uh picked out targets of interest.

524
00:29:55,880 --> 00:29:58,040
Speaker 1: One it was, it was it was all the cast

525
00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,840
Speaker 1: and I was going to it was the older cash

526
00:30:00,920 --> 00:30:05,840
Speaker 1: and I came out alone over a German tank battle

527
00:30:06,080 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: with American tanks, and I watched went down to stage

528
00:30:10,400 --> 00:30:15,960
Speaker 1: the Germans and I was hit by American friendly fire

529
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:20,600
Speaker 1: from the because a piece ft one from you know,

530
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:24,720
Speaker 1: at high speed looks like an Emmy worldline. And I'm

531
00:30:24,760 --> 00:30:27,560
Speaker 1: sure if you're in the tank and said plane comes

532
00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,800
Speaker 1: to shooting down and at you, you're gonna shoot back.

533
00:30:29,880 --> 00:30:33,000
Speaker 1: You not gonna be able to recognize what his friends.

534
00:30:35,560 --> 00:30:39,240
Speaker 1: At least we know it was American worksmanship. Yeah, there's

535
00:30:39,360 --> 00:30:42,880
Speaker 1: there's the positive, right, Yeah, absolutely, so that I was.

536
00:30:43,920 --> 00:30:46,480
Speaker 1: What happened is I got hit, and I believe in

537
00:30:46,560 --> 00:30:50,120
Speaker 1: the corporator because the engine started a sputter and I

538
00:30:50,240 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: was losing out the food and of course the first

539
00:30:52,360 --> 00:30:56,600
Speaker 1: thing to do, uh, you look for empty air field

540
00:30:57,000 --> 00:31:00,800
Speaker 1: and empty field to make a forced landing. I spotted

541
00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:04,040
Speaker 1: the field and as I came into the field to land,

542
00:31:04,680 --> 00:31:09,280
Speaker 1: I could see the war mark the Germans uh infantry

543
00:31:09,400 --> 00:31:12,280
Speaker 1: on the other side of the field. And as soon

544
00:31:12,280 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: as the plane came to a hall, I ignited the flood,

545
00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:21,280
Speaker 1: burned the plane on fire, and I headed off to

546
00:31:21,360 --> 00:31:23,440
Speaker 1: the other side of the field where there were wood

547
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:29,680
Speaker 1: and I heard the hitting their shrubs under the trees there,

548
00:31:30,240 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: and then the Germans came over looking for me, and

549
00:31:34,160 --> 00:31:37,120
Speaker 1: there was a captain standing about temp feet away from me.

550
00:31:37,240 --> 00:31:40,520
Speaker 1: I could see him. I was hiding in the bushes

551
00:31:40,920 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: and he was shouting orders there looking for me, and

552
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,360
Speaker 1: they never found me. In fact, what happened is I

553
00:31:46,440 --> 00:31:51,720
Speaker 1: fell asleep. I woke up at night, and uh, I

554
00:31:51,880 --> 00:31:59,240
Speaker 1: spent three days walking back at night until I one

555
00:31:59,320 --> 00:32:02,880
Speaker 1: morning I got up and I could give people talking

556
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,000
Speaker 1: in French. I stood up and there was a soldier

557
00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:10,360
Speaker 1: talking to Frenchman. And I put up my hands and said,

558
00:32:10,480 --> 00:32:14,240
Speaker 1: just fees, the Americans, just these Americans. And uh I

559
00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:19,400
Speaker 1: was taken to Paris, the headquarters and interrogated because at

560
00:32:19,480 --> 00:32:25,800
Speaker 1: that time the Germans were sending in UH, English speaking

561
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:33,040
Speaker 1: German's dresses officers and the job was to assassinate Eisenhower.

562
00:32:33,200 --> 00:32:37,560

579
00:33:38,400 --> 00:33:41,680

Speaker 1: of of wars before and after. Um. Always good to

581
00:33:44,760 --> 00:33:46,840
Speaker 1: talk to Uncle Steve in that sense of the word. UM.

582
00:33:46,920 --> 00:33:48,760
Speaker 1: Let's close that with this. This comes to us from

583
00:33:48,760 --> 00:33:51,280
Speaker 1: the folks over at Mitchell won the Real Fix Sure

584
00:33:51,360 --> 00:33:55,720
Speaker 1: Track Repair of the Week A an interesting problem this resolves.

585
00:33:55,800 --> 00:33:59,680
Speaker 1: This regards a two thousand four Chevy Silverado with a

586
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,520
Speaker 1: six leader in it, and the problem with the vehicle

587
00:34:02,680 --> 00:34:04,760
Speaker 1: was that the throttle would drop out, the door locks

588
00:34:04,840 --> 00:34:07,360
Speaker 1: would cycle off and on, and it was really kind

589
00:34:07,400 --> 00:34:11,240
Speaker 1: of difficult to resolve because it was an intermittent, random problem.

590
00:34:11,320 --> 00:34:14,799
Speaker 1: The story starts out with phantom problems like doors locking

591
00:34:14,880 --> 00:34:16,600
Speaker 1: and unlocking on their own, and the vehicle can be

592
00:34:16,680 --> 00:34:20,480
Speaker 1: tough to diagnose. Sure Enough, community member Riches Repair had

593
00:34:20,520 --> 00:34:22,759
Speaker 1: a Chevalley Silverado in the shop that could lose power

594
00:34:22,840 --> 00:34:25,000
Speaker 1: and the doorlocks would act up after a cold start.

595
00:34:25,360 --> 00:34:27,320
Speaker 1: They posed the question to the community. With help of

596
00:34:27,360 --> 00:34:29,960
Speaker 1: fellow members, they were able to resolve it quickly. And

597
00:34:30,120 --> 00:34:33,719
Speaker 1: what they did was they went through some diagnostics. They

598
00:34:34,040 --> 00:34:36,279
Speaker 1: and this problem occurred after a cold start, and after

599
00:34:36,360 --> 00:34:39,320
Speaker 1: one mile of driving, the doorlocks started to lock an unlock,

600
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:41,320
Speaker 1: and all the dashlights came on. The throttle went to

601
00:34:41,360 --> 00:34:43,759
Speaker 1: idle because it went into limp in. This will happen

602
00:34:43,800 --> 00:34:46,000
Speaker 1: on and off for about three minutes. The story continues.

603
00:34:46,080 --> 00:34:49,120
Speaker 1: Sometimes it goes into reduced power, sometimes it didn't. They

604
00:34:49,200 --> 00:34:51,640
Speaker 1: went through and checked all the grounds. They looked at wires,

605
00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:54,160
Speaker 1: they found no breaks. Someone else to put a throttle

606
00:34:54,200 --> 00:34:56,040
Speaker 1: body in it and a main engine computer and it

607
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:59,280
Speaker 1: made no difference. They hooked the lab scope up. Remember

608
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,560
Speaker 1: the call we had this hour about the gentleman with

609
00:35:01,760 --> 00:35:04,400
Speaker 1: the Volkswagen that wouldn't start about looking for power and

610
00:35:04,440 --> 00:35:07,879
Speaker 1: ground positive connection using a headlamp. They hooked the lamp
