34
00:01:46,840 --> 00:01:49,840
Speaker 1: It went by like it was like, Wow, look it's Friday. Wow,

35
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:53,600
Speaker 1: look at Saturday. How did that happen? I was sitting

36
00:01:53,600 --> 00:01:55,520
Speaker 1: at the Delhi yesterday and I've got a lot of

37
00:01:55,520 --> 00:01:57,920
Speaker 1: things to talk about, but I want to just bring

38
00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,240
Speaker 1: this up real quick because I think Jimmy's right. I

39
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,440
Speaker 1: was at the Delhi yesterday morning and Franklin Lakes where

40
00:02:02,480 --> 00:02:05,240
Speaker 1: I go for the for the Friday morning ritual, and

41
00:02:05,920 --> 00:02:07,920
Speaker 1: there was seven or eight of us, the usual group

42
00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:13,280
Speaker 1: of mechanics and mechanic wannabes and just hired people in general,

43
00:02:13,919 --> 00:02:18,400
Speaker 1: and my friend Dirty Jim was sitting there and Jimmy said,

44
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:22,160
Speaker 1: you don't talk about the road to nowhere anymore, do you?

45
00:02:23,080 --> 00:02:24,720
Speaker 1: And I looked at him and I said the road.

46
00:02:24,919 --> 00:02:27,720
Speaker 1: He goes, yeah, you know, And I had forgotten about

47
00:02:27,720 --> 00:02:31,359
Speaker 1: the road to nowhere, and I had forgotten what that represented.

48
00:02:33,080 --> 00:02:35,880
Speaker 1: And it's sort of stuck in my brain for the

49
00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,639
Speaker 1: last twenty four hours because I think we all need

50
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:44,519
Speaker 1: a road to nowhere. I had forgotten what this concept was.

51
00:02:44,560 --> 00:02:45,919
Speaker 1: And if you're new to this show and you don't

52
00:02:45,919 --> 00:02:52,400
Speaker 1: know what it is, feeling stressed, aggravated, A lot going on.

53
00:02:52,520 --> 00:02:54,720
Speaker 1: We got a big election coming up this week. Who

54
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:56,400
Speaker 1: knows where or what it's gonna end up, how it's

55
00:02:56,400 --> 00:02:58,799
Speaker 1: gonna end up. I mean, good lord. They're talking things

56
00:02:58,840 --> 00:03:00,600
Speaker 1: in the paper. I was reading in the news today

57
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:04,680
Speaker 1: that they're talking about people stocking up on survival food

58
00:03:05,680 --> 00:03:09,080
Speaker 1: because of the election, for fear of disruption to the

59
00:03:09,120 --> 00:03:13,040
Speaker 1: commerce system. So this thing has all of you wound

60
00:03:13,120 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 1: up really tight. Here's how you're gonna survive. Maybe this

61
00:03:17,160 --> 00:03:19,760
Speaker 1: is the road to nowhere. How to survive the election

62
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:25,560
Speaker 1: Tuesday tip. Put down the cell phone, turn off the computer,

63
00:03:26,880 --> 00:03:29,640
Speaker 1: gather up your family and go get in the car.

64
00:03:30,639 --> 00:03:34,280
Speaker 1: Go somewhere, Go take a ride, go see the sites,

65
00:03:34,360 --> 00:03:38,160
Speaker 1: do nothing. Take an hour's ride to nowhere, go somewhere

66
00:03:38,160 --> 00:03:41,760
Speaker 1: for lunch, make it a destination lunch or breakfast. We

67
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,280
Speaker 1: still got half a weekend left, right. I remember them

68
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:47,600
Speaker 1: with my father as a kid, my father's trips to

69
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:49,320
Speaker 1: know where we're called We're going to church to stand,

70
00:03:49,320 --> 00:03:51,920
Speaker 1: get in the car. I'm not sure where Church to

71
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,240
Speaker 1: Stand was, but I just know it was very far away,

72
00:03:55,240 --> 00:03:56,920
Speaker 1: and I remember as a little kid we never seemed

73
00:03:56,960 --> 00:04:00,320
Speaker 1: to get there, because I remember the converse s issue

74
00:04:00,320 --> 00:04:01,960
Speaker 1: when my father would talk to my mother when they

75
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:03,440
Speaker 1: got home and she goes, well, where'd you go? I

76
00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,880
Speaker 1: went to get milk? Where was that chucha stand? She goes, oh,

77
00:04:05,960 --> 00:04:10,760
Speaker 1: that place again, And you know, you could tell that

78
00:04:10,800 --> 00:04:12,720
Speaker 1: there was a sense of hostility. Of course, when you're

79
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 1: seven years old, you kind of don't make that connection

80
00:04:14,760 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 1: until you're older and you realize she's made at him

81
00:04:17,240 --> 00:04:20,400
Speaker 1: because he's out gallivanting around with the kids to Pennsylvania

82
00:04:20,440 --> 00:04:23,159
Speaker 1: for milk on a Sunday morning, and you know, but

83
00:04:23,240 --> 00:04:28,760
Speaker 1: it's it's it's that road to nowhere. I forgot how

84
00:04:28,839 --> 00:04:33,040
Speaker 1: much I enjoyed taking car trips. I forgot how much

85
00:04:33,080 --> 00:04:35,440
Speaker 1: I enjoyed cars, and maybe that's part of it in

86
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:37,919
Speaker 1: that sense, you know, that's why I like working on them,

87
00:04:37,960 --> 00:04:40,240
Speaker 1: because there is something about just getting in a car

88
00:04:40,839 --> 00:04:45,920
Speaker 1: and taking a ride going nowhere, no cell phone, no

89
00:04:46,040 --> 00:04:48,760
Speaker 1: news on, just talking to your family, just kind of

90
00:04:49,240 --> 00:04:51,200
Speaker 1: oh yeah, that was my kid's middle name, and the

91
00:04:51,240 --> 00:04:53,120
Speaker 1: back seat now I kind of remember who that is.

92
00:04:54,800 --> 00:04:57,440
Speaker 1: I think I'm going to do that tomorrow. Actually, tomorrow,

93
00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:01,320
Speaker 1: Tomorrow is supposed to be nice here in the Northeast.

94
00:05:01,839 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: I think tomorrow I'm gonna take one of the last

95
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:04,880
Speaker 1: rides in the hot Rod. It might be one of

96
00:05:04,920 --> 00:05:06,400
Speaker 1: the first rides for the hot Rod this season. I

97
00:05:06,400 --> 00:05:09,039
Speaker 1: didn't get it out a whole lot, but I think

98
00:05:09,080 --> 00:05:10,560
Speaker 1: I'm going to take a ride in the hot Rod.

99
00:05:10,560 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: I thought about this middle of the week. It would

100
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,760
Speaker 1: be a great Sunday to go take a ride in

101
00:05:14,760 --> 00:05:16,960
Speaker 1: the cruise to nowhere and just kind of mind my

102
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:19,400
Speaker 1: p's and queues in the afternoon and just kind of

103
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:22,320
Speaker 1: relaxing on wine before Monday and it starts all over again,

104
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,479
Speaker 1: because I know, come Tuesday, whoever wins this election, whatever

105
00:05:26,520 --> 00:05:29,000
Speaker 1: happens on Tuesday, I'll be glad I had Sunday and

106
00:05:29,040 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: Monday before it to peace and quiet as much as

107
00:05:31,080 --> 00:05:33,640
Speaker 1: I could make before the chaos, and then you know

108
00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:37,520
Speaker 1: what hits the fan. So maybe this wasn't so much

109
00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,200
Speaker 1: of as an automotive opening, but I just wanted to

110
00:05:39,200 --> 00:05:41,760
Speaker 1: give you that piece of advice because listen, we're like family,

111
00:05:41,800 --> 00:05:44,279
Speaker 1: you and I. We talk about cars each and every week.

112
00:05:44,320 --> 00:05:46,960
Speaker 1: We we we we we sit down, we have this conversation,

113
00:05:47,480 --> 00:05:49,120
Speaker 1: how do we fix this? How do we fix that?

114
00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:51,279
Speaker 1: This week? I wanted to give you a tip on

115
00:05:51,279 --> 00:05:54,359
Speaker 1: how to fix you, all right, and I encourage you

116
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:56,720
Speaker 1: to take it. And if you want to see something different,

117
00:05:57,200 --> 00:05:59,800
Speaker 1: just take a trip to nowhere. Maybe it could even

118
00:05:59,800 --> 00:06:03,640
Speaker 1: be night. My kids tell me one of their greatest

119
00:06:03,720 --> 00:06:07,040
Speaker 1: childhood memories and that this is This came up in

120
00:06:07,080 --> 00:06:10,159
Speaker 1: the conversation two weeks ago. We were gathered around the

121
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:12,640
Speaker 1: table and they're telling me, Hey, how come do you

122
00:06:12,680 --> 00:06:15,479
Speaker 1: remember when? And they started talking about there's a local

123
00:06:15,520 --> 00:06:18,760
Speaker 1: airport here called teeter Borrow. You can go to Teterborough Airport, Teterborough,

124
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:21,360
Speaker 1: New Jersey and sit at the end of the runway

125
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:23,800
Speaker 1: off to the side, or at least you could fifteen

126
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:26,359
Speaker 1: years ago and we would go down there and what

127
00:06:26,440 --> 00:06:29,600
Speaker 1: was then the family station wagon and we would watch

128
00:06:29,640 --> 00:06:32,839
Speaker 1: the airplanes take off and they would laugh and giggle

129
00:06:32,880 --> 00:06:35,480
Speaker 1: and jump around and you know, bounce over the seats.

130
00:06:35,520 --> 00:06:38,040
Speaker 1: And it was the it was the trip to Teterborough,

131
00:06:38,080 --> 00:06:40,080
Speaker 1: the trip to nowhere that ended up at the airport,

132
00:06:40,800 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: and it was kind of fun family stuff and there

133
00:06:42,800 --> 00:06:45,919
Speaker 1: was no computers, there was no media assaults, there was

134
00:06:45,960 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: no yelling and screaming. No, maybe that's what we all

135
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:52,040
Speaker 1: need to do, take trips to nowhere and uh they

136
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:54,080
Speaker 1: could be part of it. Yes, Tom, you have a comment, sir.

Speaker 1: turned to round and said, make me stop this car again. Well,

141
00:07:03,560 --> 00:07:06,920
Speaker 1: that's because you guys weren't wearing your seat belts. We

156
00:07:42,920 --> 00:07:45,600
Speaker 1: idol problem that you won't believe what the fixes. So

157
00:07:45,600 --> 00:07:47,960
Speaker 1: we're gonna talk about that. We've got some phone calls

158
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:49,840
Speaker 1: I see lined up in the queue. I want to

159
00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:51,200
Speaker 1: talk about some of the things that went on in

160
00:07:51,200 --> 00:07:53,800
Speaker 1: the shop this week. But right now, let's pull over

161
00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,560
Speaker 1: and take the pause. When we come back, we can

162
00:07:55,600 --> 00:07:57,680
Speaker 1: hit it hard and we'll crank the garage doors wide open.

163
00:07:57,760 --> 00:07:59,480
Speaker 1: I'm running any in the Car Doctor. Don't go away,

164
00:07:59,520 --> 00:08:26,840
Speaker 1: I'm coming back right after this. Welcome back. We're getting

165
00:08:26,880 --> 00:08:31,080
Speaker 1: the Car Doctor here zero the Car Doctor phone number.

166
00:08:31,080 --> 00:08:34,000
Speaker 1: Car Doctor show dot com is the website, along with

167
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:38,160
Speaker 1: podcast available for download and streaming. Tune in I heart iTunes,

168
00:08:38,480 --> 00:08:41,160
Speaker 1: all the good places and Google patch as well. Let's

169
00:08:41,160 --> 00:08:43,320
Speaker 1: get over and talk to Peter Suona Pie, New Hampshire,

170
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,640
Speaker 1: two thousand seven. Subaru and some issues here, Peter. Welcome

171
00:08:46,640 --> 00:08:49,040
Speaker 1: to the car doctor, sir. How can I help? Heyone,

172
00:08:49,120 --> 00:08:53,080
Speaker 1: good to talk to you. Subaru out back. Had the

173
00:08:53,080 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: head gas gets done, of course, about a hundred fifty

174
00:08:55,440 --> 00:08:59,280
Speaker 1: thousand miles. I have had catalytic converters done, the whole bit.

175
00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:02,760
Speaker 1: And I've had a sort of a weird situation where

176
00:09:02,760 --> 00:09:07,240
Speaker 1: I'm having, um, some overheating issues where the coolant is

177
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:10,760
Speaker 1: backing up into the reservoir tank. Um, and there's no

178
00:09:10,840 --> 00:09:12,560
Speaker 1: leaks or anything like that. I did a water pump,

179
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:15,000
Speaker 1: everything is nice and tight, but it's backing up into

180
00:09:15,040 --> 00:09:16,800
Speaker 1: the tank. And I think it may be because I

181
00:09:16,880 --> 00:09:19,600
Speaker 1: use some radiator sealing when I was having some leaking

182
00:09:20,360 --> 00:09:23,440
Speaker 1: and um, I mean periodically I have to open up

183
00:09:23,440 --> 00:09:25,839
Speaker 1: the radiator cap, put some some more coolant into the

184
00:09:25,920 --> 00:09:28,280
Speaker 1: radiator and it runs okay, and then it backs up

185
00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:30,800
Speaker 1: again into the into the reservoir. Then it spills out

186
00:09:30,880 --> 00:09:33,760
Speaker 1: over there. So I'm just I'm at a complete loss.

187
00:09:34,040 --> 00:09:36,240
Speaker 1: I haven't done compression test on the cylinders to make

188
00:09:36,280 --> 00:09:38,560
Speaker 1: sure that they're all okay, but the engine has good

189
00:09:38,559 --> 00:09:40,520
Speaker 1: pep to it, so I think that there's anything there

190
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:44,720
Speaker 1: right are you? Are you consuming any coolant? Peter, Uh,

191
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,040
Speaker 1: it is consuming coolant, but I think that's because it's

192
00:09:48,080 --> 00:09:50,920
Speaker 1: spilling out when it fills that reservoir tank to the top,

193
00:09:50,960 --> 00:09:53,400
Speaker 1: because it really does get up high. Did you happen

194
00:09:53,400 --> 00:09:55,640
Speaker 1: to or have you happen to replace the radiator cap

195
00:09:55,679 --> 00:09:59,800
Speaker 1: at any point? I have not. O. UM, get your

196
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:02,400
Speaker 1: hands on. I'm gonna give you a bulletin number UM.

197
00:10:02,400 --> 00:10:05,800
Speaker 1: There's a bulletin from subru oh eight dash fifty two

198
00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:09,160
Speaker 1: dish O eight. That's that's pretty common. And what that

199
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:13,679
Speaker 1: talks about is problems with the radiator cap itself. They

200
00:10:13,720 --> 00:10:17,240
Speaker 1: talk about the radiator cap pressure valve being stuck open

201
00:10:17,559 --> 00:10:20,160
Speaker 1: or and here's the ore, which is what jiggled my

202
00:10:20,200 --> 00:10:22,280
Speaker 1: brain when you said you put cool and stealer in there,

203
00:10:22,600 --> 00:10:26,280
Speaker 1: debris getting sucked up into the tank hose and causing

204
00:10:26,320 --> 00:10:29,960
Speaker 1: a clog and affecting the cap as well. So I'm

205
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:32,880
Speaker 1: wondering if you've got something as simple as a radiator

206
00:10:32,920 --> 00:10:36,320
Speaker 1: cap issue. That bulletin talks in detail, and it applies

207
00:10:36,360 --> 00:10:38,720
Speaker 1: to quite a few model your UM sub brus and

208
00:10:38,720 --> 00:10:42,840
Speaker 1: it talks about modifying the reservoir hose UH to a

209
00:10:42,880 --> 00:10:45,320
Speaker 1: different length. And there was a bunch of information there

210
00:10:45,360 --> 00:10:47,880
Speaker 1: that describes your problem to a t and some of

211
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,520
Speaker 1: the changes they want UM with regard to the length

212
00:10:50,520 --> 00:10:52,640
Speaker 1: of the hose in the bottle as well as the

213
00:10:52,760 --> 00:10:55,240
Speaker 1: camp itself. So it could be something as simple as that,

214
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,760
Speaker 1: and I would tell you, I would encourage you to

215
00:10:56,800 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: go through that before you get anything do anything any

216
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:03,880
Speaker 1: crazier um, you know, So that's number one. Obviously, you

217
00:11:03,920 --> 00:11:05,240
Speaker 1: know you want to make you sure you get yourself

218
00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:07,719
Speaker 1: a good radiator cap. Stand to be fine. Get out

219
00:11:07,720 --> 00:11:09,559
Speaker 1: the stand dot com you'll read more about As a

220
00:11:09,559 --> 00:11:11,280
Speaker 1: matter of fact, Stand has a good bunch of information

221
00:11:11,320 --> 00:11:14,840
Speaker 1: about radiator cap I never realized until about ten days ago.

222
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:17,240
Speaker 1: We were doing something in the shop and we were

223
00:11:17,240 --> 00:11:22,040
Speaker 1: looking at a I believe it was a Chevy Malibu

224
00:11:22,160 --> 00:11:24,120
Speaker 1: and we were looking at d and the radiator cap

225
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:25,600
Speaker 1: on that was giving us an issue. And I never

226
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,560
Speaker 1: really stopped to look at how radior caps are really

227
00:11:28,600 --> 00:11:31,280
Speaker 1: complicated little critters. You think they're so simple, but they're not.

228
00:11:31,760 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 1: And there's there's a lot of machining and there's a

229
00:11:33,720 --> 00:11:35,600
Speaker 1: lot of It's got to be the right tension spring

230
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:38,079
Speaker 1: and the right fabrication and manufacturing in order for it

231
00:11:38,160 --> 00:11:40,520
Speaker 1: to work right. So just make sure if you put

232
00:11:40,559 --> 00:11:41,960
Speaker 1: a radiator cap on it, you get a good one

233
00:11:42,040 --> 00:11:44,160
Speaker 1: number one, number two. As long as I've got you

234
00:11:44,200 --> 00:11:46,520
Speaker 1: on the phone, you're up there in New Hampshire. Are

235
00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:50,080
Speaker 1: you aware of the probability possibility of brake line recall

236
00:11:50,160 --> 00:11:53,480
Speaker 1: on that vehicle? Yes, I am. It's been off the

237
00:11:53,559 --> 00:11:55,800
Speaker 1: road for about a year now because of this problem

238
00:11:55,840 --> 00:11:57,480
Speaker 1: I've been I've been thinking I'm gonna take it all

239
00:11:57,520 --> 00:11:59,640
Speaker 1: apart and see what I come up with, because I

240
00:11:59,679 --> 00:12:01,800
Speaker 1: do have some cool air coming out of one side

241
00:12:01,840 --> 00:12:04,680
Speaker 1: of my of my heating vents it's cooler than the

242
00:12:04,720 --> 00:12:07,440
Speaker 1: other air, and thinking maybe there's something that that's not

243
00:12:07,480 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: allowing me to circulate all the way through well. And

244
00:12:09,920 --> 00:12:13,320
Speaker 1: and listen, I'm not a fan of of of sealers

245
00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:16,480
Speaker 1: in the radio in the cooling systems on Subrus For

246
00:12:16,520 --> 00:12:20,600
Speaker 1: some reason, Subaru's do not like cooling system sealer Subaru makes.

247
00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,800
Speaker 1: And let me let me let me modify that statement.

248
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:27,320
Speaker 1: Subaru makes a specific sealer that they want you to use.

249
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:30,600
Speaker 1: I can't get proof of it, but it sure looks

250
00:12:30,640 --> 00:12:33,040
Speaker 1: like bars leak, it sure smells like bars leak, but

251
00:12:33,040 --> 00:12:35,880
Speaker 1: it's in a private Subaru branded bottle and it makes

252
00:12:35,880 --> 00:12:38,000
Speaker 1: no reference to being bars leak. The stuff that's been

253
00:12:38,040 --> 00:12:40,880
Speaker 1: on the shelf for years and years and years. That

254
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:43,800
Speaker 1: that being said, um, they want you to use it

255
00:12:43,840 --> 00:12:46,840
Speaker 1: in judicious amounts, and you know, not necessarily the whole

256
00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:48,960
Speaker 1: bottle at each service. Whenever you you know, whenever you

257
00:12:49,040 --> 00:12:51,520
Speaker 1: change the cool on a Subaru, they want a bottle

258
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:54,600
Speaker 1: of this to go in. So, you know, depending upon

259
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:57,000
Speaker 1: what you used, yes, you may have created an issue,

260
00:12:57,040 --> 00:12:59,680
Speaker 1: in which case, probably the first thing I would do

261
00:12:59,760 --> 00:13:02,800
Speaker 1: is try doing a mild reverse flush on the heater core.

262
00:13:03,320 --> 00:13:06,360
Speaker 1: You know. Hook up, you got access to a five

263
00:13:06,400 --> 00:13:10,160
Speaker 1: gallon white bucket and two pieces of heater hose, you know,

264
00:13:10,360 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 1: and and you know, I made up one. I've used

265
00:13:12,679 --> 00:13:14,040
Speaker 1: it in the shop for years where I went to

266
00:13:14,040 --> 00:13:16,080
Speaker 1: the hardware store. I picked up a hose end so

267
00:13:16,160 --> 00:13:18,960
Speaker 1: I can put a direct coupling, you know, a garden

268
00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:21,840
Speaker 1: hose into it and just backflush the core into the bucket.

269
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,280
Speaker 1: And I backflush it into the bucket for two reasons.

270
00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,520
Speaker 1: Number one, I like to dispose of the cool and properly.

271
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,959
Speaker 1: Number two. When I finally get it all clear and

272
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:32,360
Speaker 1: it's all water, the white bucket really makes It's amazing

273
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:35,160
Speaker 1: how how crud will stand out against the background of

274
00:13:35,160 --> 00:13:37,840
Speaker 1: a white pail so that you'll really see. Yeah, okay,

275
00:13:37,880 --> 00:13:40,080
Speaker 1: look at the size of that. You know that's pretty nasty.

276
00:13:40,080 --> 00:13:43,000
Speaker 1: At least you know what you're trying to get out. Sure, Sure,

277
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:46,280
Speaker 1: what sounds like. It sounds like great advice. Certain, Uh,

278
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,760
Speaker 1: that's my course of action. Thanks, I appreciate it. If

279
00:13:48,760 --> 00:13:50,240
Speaker 1: you need more, you know where to find me. Thank you,

280
00:13:50,280 --> 00:13:53,199
Speaker 1: Peter take thank you. But Budy, let's get over and

281
00:13:53,280 --> 00:13:55,880
Speaker 1: talk to JJ, new Haven, Connecticut. And it must be

282
00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:58,760
Speaker 1: super rude day here in the car office, your second

283
00:13:59,160 --> 00:14:02,000
Speaker 1: dr pack in my car and oh seven Forest or

284
00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:05,360
Speaker 1: what's going on here? J? J all of eighty thousand miles.

285
00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:07,120
Speaker 1: I had a tune up several months ago, and I

286
00:14:07,160 --> 00:14:09,600
Speaker 1: was told by the garage where I had the tune

287
00:14:09,640 --> 00:14:13,440
Speaker 1: up done that I was leaking power steering fluid and

288
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: they'd fix it for me for four hundred dollars, and

289
00:14:16,640 --> 00:14:19,680
Speaker 1: that I should be seeing it leaking. And it's been

290
00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:23,080
Speaker 1: four or five months later, I've seen no sign of leaking.

291
00:14:23,120 --> 00:14:26,520
Speaker 1: And the cards driving fine. I just need some advice. First,

292
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:32,920
Speaker 1: first question is do you trust the garage? Great? Great question. Yeah, um,

293
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:36,240
Speaker 1: so it's not a super dealer. It's not, or it

294
00:14:36,320 --> 00:14:40,280
Speaker 1: is it is not. And listen, I'm not a fan

295
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:43,960
Speaker 1: that you know. My perspective is just because somebody has

296
00:14:44,160 --> 00:14:47,800
Speaker 1: Subaru over their doorway, or Chevy or Ford or R

297
00:14:47,840 --> 00:14:51,120
Speaker 1: a automotive or whatever, it's a repair shop is only

298
00:14:51,120 --> 00:14:53,560
Speaker 1: as good as the people inside the place. So it

299
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:56,920
Speaker 1: doesn't matter whether they're a dealer and independent. There's dishonesty.

300
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:59,760
Speaker 1: And you know in all forms and walks and occupations

301
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:02,600
Speaker 1: of I found this planet, it seems my My My

302
00:15:02,800 --> 00:15:06,800
Speaker 1: comment is, you know, if you're suspicious, see how they

303
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:10,560
Speaker 1: handle Hey, can you show me the leak? I you know,

304
00:15:10,880 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 1: I I brought somebody into the baby the other day

305
00:15:13,320 --> 00:15:14,920
Speaker 1: and I started showing her things and she says, no

306
00:15:15,000 --> 00:15:16,960
Speaker 1: mechanics ever done this for me, And I went, well,

307
00:15:17,440 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 1: you know, I want you to understand what we're up

308
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:20,960
Speaker 1: against and where we're where. We're looking at the car

309
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 1: this way, and she walked out saying, you know, you

310
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:24,720
Speaker 1: really made me feel comfortable looking at the car, and

311
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,560
Speaker 1: that's sort of my job It's not just there to

312
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,840
Speaker 1: fix the cards. My job is supposed to be to

313
00:15:28,880 --> 00:15:30,760
Speaker 1: sort of help fix the customer, to get you guys

314
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:33,840
Speaker 1: comfortable with what's going on, and and and and part

315
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,680
Speaker 1: of that is if I can be on the soapbox

316
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: for a second, not too long, you tell me when

317
00:15:37,440 --> 00:15:40,800
Speaker 1: they get off. Is if you think it's difficult to

318
00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:45,120
Speaker 1: understanding this generation of car, holy smokes way till the

319
00:15:45,160 --> 00:15:47,560
Speaker 1: twenty six teen start coming out and wrote to be

320
00:15:47,600 --> 00:15:49,480
Speaker 1: repaired ten years from now, you guys are gonna be

321
00:15:49,480 --> 00:15:52,280
Speaker 1: scratching your head, going, my god, bring back bring back

322
00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,320
Speaker 1: a two thousand six. It was so much simpler, and

323
00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,360
Speaker 1: they're complicated. So you can handle this one of two ways.

324
00:15:58,680 --> 00:16:00,000
Speaker 1: Take it back to him and say, you know, I'm

325
00:16:00,080 --> 00:16:03,240
Speaker 1: thinking about that power steering leak. Can you show me

326
00:16:03,360 --> 00:16:06,920
Speaker 1: the leak? Can you show me where it's leaking? And

327
00:16:06,920 --> 00:16:12,320
Speaker 1: and see how they react to that. You know, what

328
00:16:12,400 --> 00:16:15,400
Speaker 1: should I be failing any kind of pull or tightness

329
00:16:15,400 --> 00:16:18,040
Speaker 1: of contact. It was a lead, well only if it

330
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:21,080
Speaker 1: was low enough on fluid. But your first reaction or

331
00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:24,080
Speaker 1: your first indication j J would be you'd get that

332
00:16:24,160 --> 00:16:27,160
Speaker 1: for you know, power steering one, because there's air in

333
00:16:27,200 --> 00:16:31,480
Speaker 1: the system, So, you know, do power steering pumps on

334
00:16:31,520 --> 00:16:33,640
Speaker 1: subar use go bed? I don't know, is the sun

335
00:16:33,720 --> 00:16:36,160
Speaker 1: gonna come up tomorrow? If if it does, it will,

336
00:16:36,760 --> 00:16:40,480
Speaker 1: but you know it's, it's, it's and then you've got

337
00:16:40,480 --> 00:16:42,960
Speaker 1: to have the conversation with him. Okay, whose power steering

338
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:46,480
Speaker 1: pump are they putting on it? Because you know what

339
00:16:46,560 --> 00:16:49,960
Speaker 1: kind of warranty is there. My experience has been that

340
00:16:50,120 --> 00:16:53,440
Speaker 1: the majority of the power steering pumps being remanned in

341
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:57,000
Speaker 1: the aftermarket, there's only one or two good vendors and

342
00:16:57,040 --> 00:16:59,040
Speaker 1: the rest of them are just I think they're doing

343
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:01,520
Speaker 1: it in their basement on in their spare time, after

344
00:17:01,600 --> 00:17:04,080
Speaker 1: hours because they're they're clearly not professional in the way

345
00:17:04,080 --> 00:17:08,280
Speaker 1: they're put together. So I would definitely compare pricing between

346
00:17:08,320 --> 00:17:11,160
Speaker 1: buying a new pump out of Subaru, a reman pumped

347
00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: from a reputable supplier that's gonna give you the same

348
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:16,560
Speaker 1: warranty as the Subaru dealer and vice versa. You know,

349
00:17:16,600 --> 00:17:18,520
Speaker 1: somebody doesn't repair like that. It should come with a

350
00:17:18,560 --> 00:17:22,959
Speaker 1: minimum of a year guarantee. Just to follow up, I'm

351
00:17:23,000 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 1: garaging this in a month for five months, I should

352
00:17:26,040 --> 00:17:29,080
Speaker 1: have this looked at before I do that. Yeah, I would, Um, listen,

353
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:30,720
Speaker 1: don't you want to know that? I would have that

354
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:33,560
Speaker 1: looked at in a general overall look of the vehicle,

355
00:17:34,119 --> 00:17:36,160
Speaker 1: because when you garage it for five months and then

356
00:17:36,200 --> 00:17:39,639
Speaker 1: take it out come you know, April or March, you

357
00:17:39,680 --> 00:17:41,640
Speaker 1: know I would have another look and see that anything

358
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:45,359
Speaker 1: deteriorate while it was sitting for five months. You know.

359
00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,480
Speaker 1: So this way at least you you you kind of know,

360
00:17:48,000 --> 00:17:50,600
Speaker 1: all right, it's you know, cars change in the blink

361
00:17:50,640 --> 00:17:52,359
Speaker 1: of an eye, and the conditions change in the blink

362
00:17:52,359 --> 00:17:54,920
Speaker 1: of an eye. And then, more importantly than that, if

363
00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,439
Speaker 1: you still don't trust these guys after they can handle this,

364
00:17:58,040 --> 00:18:02,440
Speaker 1: then you gotta find a mechanic. Do you make house calls? Um?

365
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:04,040
Speaker 1: I don't know. I got a lot going on right now.

366
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,359
Speaker 1: J J. I'd love to, but uh, you know the

367
00:18:06,400 --> 00:18:09,320
Speaker 1: answer is yes, but no, we'll talk. Let me know

368
00:18:09,359 --> 00:18:11,760
Speaker 1: what happens. J J and UH have some fun out

369
00:18:11,760 --> 00:18:13,280
Speaker 1: there in the sun. I guess you're going to Florida

370
00:18:13,320 --> 00:18:15,000
Speaker 1: for five months. That's why you're putting the car away.

371
00:18:15,200 --> 00:18:17,119
Speaker 1: I'm rotting any in the car doctor when I was

372
00:18:17,160 --> 00:18:18,639
Speaker 1: a quick first half of the show, we're gonna heck

373
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:21,280
Speaker 1: the that goo though, So I'm making Tom smile. I'm

374
00:18:21,280 --> 00:18:23,320
Speaker 1: brought an anie in the car doctor. I'll be back

375
00:18:23,440 --> 00:18:43,680
Speaker 1: right after this. Hey, welcome back leading the car doctor.

376
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:45,720
Speaker 1: Kind of rolling along this hour. By the way, U

377
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:49,080
Speaker 1: what is it with Samsung? Right? We're talking about recalls

378
00:18:49,119 --> 00:18:51,720
Speaker 1: over the last couple of weeks. Air bags, Now, cell

379
00:18:51,760 --> 00:18:58,400
Speaker 1: phones explode, now washing machines explode? You know, is are

380
00:18:58,400 --> 00:19:02,680
Speaker 1: we just accepting of this? Are we just expecting everything

381
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:05,560
Speaker 1: to fail and we just let these companies keep going

382
00:19:05,640 --> 00:19:07,959
Speaker 1: on and on and on. How come this isn't like

383
00:19:08,359 --> 00:19:11,879
Speaker 1: front page news. Everybody's rattling on about it. I remember

384
00:19:11,880 --> 00:19:14,160
Speaker 1: twenty years ago when General Motors couldn't make a transmission

385
00:19:14,160 --> 00:19:16,000
Speaker 1: to save their life. That's all we ever talked about.

386
00:19:16,920 --> 00:19:19,760
Speaker 1: I I don't know, I don't get it. You know,

387
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,200
Speaker 1: everybody seems to be making a krumby product, and everybody

388
00:19:22,240 --> 00:19:25,080
Speaker 1: seems to be accepting of it. You know, it's uh,

389
00:19:25,280 --> 00:19:27,679
Speaker 1: maybe the future is just going back to juice can

390
00:19:27,760 --> 00:19:31,240
Speaker 1: two strings. Boy, they didn't explode. Uh, you know, it's

391
00:19:31,280 --> 00:19:33,200
Speaker 1: maybe all this is hyped just to keep us distracted

392
00:19:33,200 --> 00:19:35,120
Speaker 1: from what's really going on. Let's get over and talk

393
00:19:35,160 --> 00:19:37,680
Speaker 1: to Ed Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, ed. Welcome to the car doctor.

394
00:19:37,720 --> 00:19:39,639
Speaker 1: I'm just rambling a little bit today. How are you today, sir?

395
00:19:39,720 --> 00:19:43,639
Speaker 1: What's going on? I'm doing doing well? Um. Yeah, I

396
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:50,520
Speaker 1: have a also Colass Supreme SL three point one leader engine. Um.

397
00:19:50,640 --> 00:19:53,760
Speaker 1: And what's going on is uh, after driving for a

398
00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:57,520
Speaker 1: little while, so when I stopped the red traffic light idoling,

399
00:19:58,080 --> 00:20:00,200
Speaker 1: the car starts sputtering. It sounds kind of like finds

400
00:20:00,280 --> 00:20:02,879
Speaker 1: me of one of those Harley Davidson motorcycles who goes

401
00:20:02,920 --> 00:20:06,240
Speaker 1: bump up, up, bump up, and my techometer metal meter,

402
00:20:06,800 --> 00:20:09,600
Speaker 1: it'll it's up more and they'll start bouncing down and

403
00:20:09,600 --> 00:20:13,080
Speaker 1: then it finally it actually does stall. And then when

404
00:20:13,160 --> 00:20:15,600
Speaker 1: I try to immediately try to crank it back up,

405
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,919
Speaker 1: I get no, I get the red death flights come on,

406
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:22,640
Speaker 1: the death lights come on, but there's no crank at all. Um.

407
00:20:22,720 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: But but interestingly, interestingly, if I weight like uh three

408
00:20:26,640 --> 00:20:29,800
Speaker 1: minutes right there at the intersection, I turned the key

409
00:20:29,800 --> 00:20:31,960
Speaker 1: and it crank's right up, really strong crank boom. That

410
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: goes right off and I'm all my way uh and

411
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: and and then when I'm uh, then for the next

412
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:39,960
Speaker 1: few lights or whatever, I have to put it in

413
00:20:39,960 --> 00:20:42,520
Speaker 1: a neutral and give a gas you know what's oars sputtering,

414
00:20:42,520 --> 00:20:44,440
Speaker 1: so it doesn't doesn't in stall. That seems to help

415
00:20:44,600 --> 00:20:47,639
Speaker 1: prevent the stalling. But then I'm putting, throwing it neutral,

416
00:20:47,640 --> 00:20:50,080
Speaker 1: giving a gas and then coming off the off the

417
00:20:50,160 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: light everything. But so I'm I'm per perplexed. What's going on?

418
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:59,240
Speaker 1: Belching any black smoked? No, No, that's that's that's fine. Um.

419
00:21:00,400 --> 00:21:03,760
Speaker 1: I have a theory that maybe it's there's a installation

420
00:21:03,800 --> 00:21:07,520
Speaker 1: and planetic installation over some guiring maybe maybe maybe gone

421
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:11,520
Speaker 1: and it's grounding somewhere. Well you know before we it

422
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:14,840
Speaker 1: almost it almost sounds like you may have two problems.

423
00:21:14,880 --> 00:21:18,000
Speaker 1: So let's let's talk about the no crank condition first.

424
00:21:18,400 --> 00:21:21,399
Speaker 1: All right, the no crank condition. This car should have

425
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,400
Speaker 1: past locked two. If you look at the ignition key,

426
00:21:23,400 --> 00:21:25,440
Speaker 1: does that have a little black chip in the key?

427
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:28,679
Speaker 1: Definitely does? Ye? Okay, so that's past lock two. Past

428
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:31,879
Speaker 1: lock two was general motors idea that somebody would want

429
00:21:31,880 --> 00:21:34,880
Speaker 1: to steal this car, which I guess when it was new,

430
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:38,080
Speaker 1: maybe it was something they wanted to steal, and they

431
00:21:38,160 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: put an anti theft chip in there so that would

432
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:43,040
Speaker 1: keep the vehicle from cranking and put it into a

433
00:21:43,040 --> 00:21:45,879
Speaker 1: no start condition. Um. If that if somebody you know,

434
00:21:45,920 --> 00:21:49,760
Speaker 1: tried to bypass the security system. So does the car

435
00:21:49,800 --> 00:21:55,640
Speaker 1: have tilt wheel? Um? I don't think so. No tilt column.

436
00:21:55,960 --> 00:21:57,320
Speaker 1: Let me let me let me think about this. I

437
00:21:57,359 --> 00:22:00,760
Speaker 1: actually I think I've never used because I but it

438
00:22:00,880 --> 00:22:05,960
Speaker 1: has it, but you never use it? Right? What? What? What?

439
00:22:06,040 --> 00:22:07,720
Speaker 1: One of the ways we used to test to see

440
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:10,800
Speaker 1: if this was a passlock problem, and it's not completely accurate,

441
00:22:10,800 --> 00:22:12,760
Speaker 1: but it's a good side of the side of the

442
00:22:12,880 --> 00:22:16,399
Speaker 1: road sort of test is take the tilt and the

443
00:22:16,440 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: next time it goes into a no start, no crank,

444
00:22:18,400 --> 00:22:21,640
Speaker 1: take the tilt and change the position of the column,

445
00:22:22,320 --> 00:22:24,880
Speaker 1: you know, high low, Because what you're doing is you're

446
00:22:24,920 --> 00:22:28,480
Speaker 1: flexing the wires, and if the wires themselves inside the

447
00:22:28,480 --> 00:22:31,960
Speaker 1: column have a connection or a fray or a looseness issue,

448
00:22:32,359 --> 00:22:34,840
Speaker 1: bouncing them around will change that. And if while you're

449
00:22:34,880 --> 00:22:39,000
Speaker 1: doing that it starts or it cranks, that tells us

450
00:22:39,000 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: we've got a problem. Up in the top of the column.

451
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: All right. If you were to go to the base

452
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:48,000
Speaker 1: of the steering column, there are two very thin kind

453
00:22:48,000 --> 00:22:51,760
Speaker 1: of like piano wire white wires in a separate connector.

454
00:22:52,640 --> 00:22:56,560
Speaker 1: All right, those are the two wires leading up that

455
00:22:56,840 --> 00:23:01,600
Speaker 1: the theft module reads the resistance of the key when

456
00:23:01,640 --> 00:23:03,600
Speaker 1: you put it into the cylinder. So what happens is

457
00:23:05,119 --> 00:23:08,159
Speaker 1: Ed comes along, puts his key in the ignition switch.

458
00:23:08,920 --> 00:23:12,080
Speaker 1: There is a device in the ignition switch that allows

459
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: it to transmit the resistance value of that chip down

460
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:18,159
Speaker 1: the wires to the theft module. The theft module goes, Okay,

461
00:23:18,160 --> 00:23:21,120
Speaker 1: it's Ed and not somebody with a screw driver trying

462
00:23:21,119 --> 00:23:24,119
Speaker 1: to steal the car, and it then gives the okay

463
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:26,200
Speaker 1: signal to the PCM to allow it to crank and

464
00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:30,399
Speaker 1: run the injectors. All right, So you know that's the

465
00:23:30,440 --> 00:23:32,639
Speaker 1: first thing. A lot of people at this point in

466
00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:36,840
Speaker 1: the game bypass that system, all right, simply by And

467
00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:38,400
Speaker 1: I think I can talk about this on here because

468
00:23:38,400 --> 00:23:41,520
Speaker 1: I don't think anybody's stealing is probably at the top

469
00:23:41,560 --> 00:23:44,200
Speaker 1: of anybody's list at this point. But what what they'll

470
00:23:44,200 --> 00:23:47,000
Speaker 1: do is they they will take a resistance value reading

471
00:23:47,000 --> 00:23:49,879
Speaker 1: off the key, take a digital vault home meter, measure

472
00:23:49,960 --> 00:23:51,920
Speaker 1: the chip. Each side of that chip has a little

473
00:23:51,920 --> 00:23:54,360
Speaker 1: piece of metal sticking out of it. Put an ometer

474
00:23:54,480 --> 00:23:57,359
Speaker 1: across the chip and you'll get a resistance value. Go

475
00:23:57,440 --> 00:24:00,040
Speaker 1: to the base of the column, unplug the connector the

476
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:03,840
Speaker 1: go to radio shack, get yourself a resistor, plug it

477
00:24:03,840 --> 00:24:07,800
Speaker 1: into that harness. It'll think that it's got the right

478
00:24:07,840 --> 00:24:10,800
Speaker 1: resistance all day long and start the car. All right,

479
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,240
Speaker 1: it'll require the key. It will require the key still,

480
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: but at least you bypass that module. Now, what that

481
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:20,360
Speaker 1: does is that bypasses the potential of broken wires up

482
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:25,800
Speaker 1: inside the column. All right. That doesn't allow if the

483
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:29,160
Speaker 1: module or the wiring from the bottom of the column

484
00:24:29,240 --> 00:24:31,960
Speaker 1: over to the module have a fault in them. Does

485
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,800
Speaker 1: that make sense? I think. So you're trying to be

486
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:41,240
Speaker 1: trying to bypass that chip by two white wires, right,

487
00:24:41,320 --> 00:24:45,520
Speaker 1: you're trying to resist between those, right, you're putting to

488
00:24:45,560 --> 00:24:48,840
Speaker 1: put a resistor across those wires. You're trying to duplicate

489
00:24:48,880 --> 00:24:51,080
Speaker 1: what the key would normally send down as a signal.

490
00:24:51,400 --> 00:24:54,280
Speaker 1: So so at that point you're bypassing the ignition switch

491
00:24:54,520 --> 00:24:56,600
Speaker 1: and the two white wires that might be broken up

492
00:24:56,600 --> 00:24:58,879
Speaker 1: inside the column. What what do I What kind of

493
00:24:58,880 --> 00:25:02,879
Speaker 1: resistor do I get? Yeah? Tell them what you're looking for?

494
00:25:04,119 --> 00:25:06,480
Speaker 1: A resistance that's got one point eight olms or two

495
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:08,200
Speaker 1: olms or you know, two point two oms. It's not

496
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:10,160
Speaker 1: a lot of wattage here. It doesn't require a lot,

497
00:25:10,480 --> 00:25:13,000
Speaker 1: all right. So that that that, and you know what,

498
00:25:13,080 --> 00:25:15,159
Speaker 1: if you went out to YouTube. I haven't done this

499
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:17,240
Speaker 1: in a long time because we haven't seen too many

500
00:25:17,280 --> 00:25:19,520
Speaker 1: there twenty one years old now, but I'm sure out

501
00:25:19,560 --> 00:25:22,840
Speaker 1: on YouTube somebody's got a how to bypass your GM

502
00:25:22,880 --> 00:25:26,800
Speaker 1: pass two key system UM and install the resistor chips

503
00:25:26,840 --> 00:25:31,199
Speaker 1: so that that eliminates that UM. That should allow starter enable,

504
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,399
Speaker 1: all right, because the PCM did have authority to prevent

505
00:25:34,440 --> 00:25:37,680
Speaker 1: the starter from cranking on those vehicles, that should allow

506
00:25:37,760 --> 00:25:41,000
Speaker 1: starter enable. After that, it gets a little bit more involved.

507
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:42,919
Speaker 1: Looking to see that we have starter enable. You need

508
00:25:42,960 --> 00:25:45,280
Speaker 1: a scan tool to look at a few things. So

509
00:25:46,080 --> 00:25:48,680
Speaker 1: that's the first half of this conversation. That's that side

510
00:25:48,680 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: of the table, all right. I don't think that's going

511
00:25:51,520 --> 00:25:53,879
Speaker 1: to fix your stall problem. What I want to know

512
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:57,399
Speaker 1: about your stall condition is I think about fuel pressure

513
00:25:57,400 --> 00:25:59,399
Speaker 1: regulators going bad. What is this the three one or

514
00:25:59,400 --> 00:26:02,959
Speaker 1: the three four? Which engine is this one? Okay? So

515
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:06,680
Speaker 1: I think about fuel pressure regulators going bad and and

516
00:26:06,720 --> 00:26:10,479
Speaker 1: burping fuel. The diaphragms go bad, they get porous, and

517
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:12,639
Speaker 1: you know, there's issues there, So, do we have a

518
00:26:12,680 --> 00:26:15,480
Speaker 1: problem with fuel causing this to stall? And then subsequently

519
00:26:15,480 --> 00:26:18,040
Speaker 1: you have this past two key system because I'm thinking

520
00:26:18,080 --> 00:26:20,080
Speaker 1: everything is twenty one years old here everything, you know,

521
00:26:20,080 --> 00:26:22,680
Speaker 1: it is kind of on the ragged edge in terms

522
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:25,600
Speaker 1: of age and condition. Um, could we have could we

523
00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:30,600
Speaker 1: have a pressure regulator fuel system pressure regulator going south

524
00:26:30,680 --> 00:26:33,520
Speaker 1: causing it to flood out potentially um giving us a

525
00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:35,760
Speaker 1: stall condition and in the past key gives us a

526
00:26:35,760 --> 00:26:38,199
Speaker 1: no start? Uh. You know, once you get it to

527
00:26:38,240 --> 00:26:42,159
Speaker 1: the point of starting or cranking, it's got a crank,

528
00:26:42,800 --> 00:26:45,560
Speaker 1: all right, because the logic is what happens under the

529
00:26:45,560 --> 00:26:48,280
Speaker 1: hood won't keep it from cranking. It's still got a crank,

530
00:26:48,640 --> 00:26:51,520
Speaker 1: all right. It's it's just like any car where on

531
00:26:51,560 --> 00:26:53,320
Speaker 1: an older car, if you pull the coil wire out

532
00:26:53,320 --> 00:26:55,000
Speaker 1: of a crank all day long, but the spark goes

533
00:26:55,040 --> 00:26:57,119
Speaker 1: nowhere so it will never start, the car has got

534
00:26:57,240 --> 00:26:59,440
Speaker 1: a crank. The car doesn't crank. We're gonna fix the

535
00:26:59,480 --> 00:27:02,080
Speaker 1: cranking problem first, and if you still have the problem

536
00:27:02,119 --> 00:27:04,440
Speaker 1: then we'll talk. You know, is it a fuel pressure regulator?

537
00:27:04,480 --> 00:27:06,480
Speaker 1: Is an idol air control valve getting hung up not

538
00:27:06,520 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: able to idle properly? Is it a map sensor issue.

539
00:27:09,320 --> 00:27:12,720
Speaker 1: What is it? Um, Let's let's let's do the passlock

540
00:27:12,840 --> 00:27:16,159
Speaker 1: to issue first. Let's solve that so at least it

541
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:18,159
Speaker 1: cranks every time, and then we can talk about the

542
00:27:18,200 --> 00:27:21,440
Speaker 1: rest if we need to. All right, sir, okay um.

543
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:25,080
Speaker 1: The one thing I was someone that suggests, maybe, um,

544
00:27:25,200 --> 00:27:29,600
Speaker 1: the battery, Uh says um. It's seen the battery will

545
00:27:29,600 --> 00:27:31,639
Speaker 1: short out and cause the engine in to stall and

546
00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:35,040
Speaker 1: not crank. Becase there somehow the battery itself well cause

547
00:27:35,080 --> 00:27:37,359
Speaker 1: the short in the in the system. Well, I always

548
00:27:37,359 --> 00:27:39,520
Speaker 1: would start a good diagnosis, and it's a good point

549
00:27:39,560 --> 00:27:42,040
Speaker 1: to bring up. I would always start a good diagnosis

550
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: on these cars by doing a full load test on

551
00:27:44,080 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: the battery and making sure the cables themselves are good,

552
00:27:48,920 --> 00:27:52,119
Speaker 1: clean and tight, not just at the battery, but also

553
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:54,600
Speaker 1: down at the starter where the positive lug comes in,

554
00:27:54,840 --> 00:27:56,920
Speaker 1: and also at the engine block where the negative cable

555
00:27:56,960 --> 00:28:00,480
Speaker 1: comes into the ground. So yes, battery can actions and

556
00:28:00,520 --> 00:28:03,280
Speaker 1: battery itself. You know, have I ever seen a battery

557
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:05,920
Speaker 1: caused one of those cars to stall? I saw those

558
00:28:05,960 --> 00:28:08,359
Speaker 1: cars do a lot. I can't recall a battery causing

559
00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:10,600
Speaker 1: it to stall. I have seen an alternator caused those

560
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: cars to stall. And that's that's a slightly different conversation.

561
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,960
Speaker 1: But you know, before I start reaching for the stars,

562
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:21,040
Speaker 1: I'd rather just let's go with the basics. So yes, battery, cables, connection, cleanliness,

563
00:28:21,359 --> 00:28:25,240
Speaker 1: and then take a look at passlock too. All right, okay,

564
00:28:26,240 --> 00:28:28,639
Speaker 1: you're very welcome. Good luck to you. Jay. I'm sorry

565
00:28:28,720 --> 00:28:31,919
Speaker 1: and uh not and uh let us know what happens

566
00:28:31,960 --> 00:28:35,880
Speaker 1: from there. Nine zero running anating the car doctor, coming

567
00:28:35,880 --> 00:29:06,080
Speaker 1: back and running late, don't go away. Welcome back the

568
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,240
Speaker 1: car Doctor. Five five zero, nine zero zero is the

569
00:29:09,240 --> 00:29:11,120
Speaker 1: phone number. Let's go and talk to Bill Woodbridge in

570
00:29:11,120 --> 00:29:14,920
Speaker 1: New Jersey. Some questions about it. One fifty Bill. Welcome

571
00:29:14,960 --> 00:29:17,320
Speaker 1: to the car Doctor, Sir, how can I help? How

572
00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:20,080
Speaker 1: you doing good? What's going on? The first question is, uh,

573
00:29:20,280 --> 00:29:22,200
Speaker 1: we're doing some research and we play some my air

574
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:26,120
Speaker 1: fill filter okay, and they said that cannon is can

575
00:29:26,200 --> 00:29:30,239
Speaker 1: and it's supposedly preferable and the regular air filter. Are

576
00:29:30,240 --> 00:29:33,040
Speaker 1: you for me? Him? Oh, sure, absolutely, I've got canns

577
00:29:33,080 --> 00:29:35,480
Speaker 1: in in the majority of family vehicles. I'm trying to think.

578
00:29:35,480 --> 00:29:36,880
Speaker 1: I don't think I have a vehicle that doesn't have

579
00:29:36,920 --> 00:29:42,680
Speaker 1: a cannon filter in it. Improve your performance a little bit. Yeah.

580
00:29:42,720 --> 00:29:45,280
Speaker 1: What what it does is what what canan filters do?

581
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:50,080
Speaker 1: Is they help um clean up the airflow in a sense.

582
00:29:50,080 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: It's it's it's it's a better made filter. It's a

583
00:29:52,120 --> 00:29:55,240
Speaker 1: more evenly made filter in the sense of air passing

584
00:29:55,280 --> 00:29:58,640
Speaker 1: through it, so there's less turbulence, and it's it's smoother airflow.

585
00:29:58,720 --> 00:30:01,440
Speaker 1: Think of water and a stream bed and how that

586
00:30:01,520 --> 00:30:05,280
Speaker 1: reacts to pebbles and rocks, and it's less disruptions to flow,

587
00:30:05,360 --> 00:30:08,640
Speaker 1: so it's smoother, it's more efficient, and uh, you know

588
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:12,040
Speaker 1: the other the other wind is that you'll no longer

589
00:30:12,040 --> 00:30:13,920
Speaker 1: have an air filter to throw away. You'll be just

590
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: cleaning it, you know, every how many miles and reusing

591
00:30:17,440 --> 00:30:19,320
Speaker 1: it for the life of the vehicle. Second question, they

592
00:30:19,720 --> 00:30:21,880
Speaker 1: said something about only too. I don't know if it's

593
00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:24,200
Speaker 1: prey oil when you buy original one or do oil

594
00:30:24,240 --> 00:30:26,160
Speaker 1: and have you clean it now? When you when you

595
00:30:26,480 --> 00:30:30,600
Speaker 1: buy the original one, it does come pre oiled, all right,

596
00:30:31,120 --> 00:30:33,240
Speaker 1: and then you know you'll need a little they call

597
00:30:33,280 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: it an air filter or an air charger kit or

598
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:37,880
Speaker 1: filter charger kit, and then you purchase one of those,

599
00:30:37,920 --> 00:30:40,480
Speaker 1: and then you know, typically again how much you drive

600
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:43,680
Speaker 1: every fifty thousand miles. Sometimes we do them every thirty

601
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:46,360
Speaker 1: thousand miles. But it's you do have the option of

602
00:30:46,360 --> 00:30:50,760
Speaker 1: cleaning it whenever you want, okay, could And one other question, Sure,

603
00:30:50,880 --> 00:30:57,280
Speaker 1: I have two five point four leader and I used

604
00:30:57,640 --> 00:31:01,640
Speaker 1: Mobile one and I noticed that after a fact, I

605
00:31:01,640 --> 00:31:05,600
Speaker 1: guess that was down a quart of oil. That thirty

606
00:31:06,320 --> 00:31:08,880
Speaker 1: four thousand miles in a vehicle, and it just seems

607
00:31:08,920 --> 00:31:10,440
Speaker 1: like a lot to use. I don't know if it's

608
00:31:10,480 --> 00:31:14,160
Speaker 1: a common problem with the fordge they accept it. I

609
00:31:14,200 --> 00:31:17,000
Speaker 1: don't agree with it in in the sense that it's acceptable.

610
00:31:17,040 --> 00:31:19,920
Speaker 1: But Ford says a chord every thousand miles. The majority

611
00:31:19,960 --> 00:31:23,760
Speaker 1: of car companies today exception, Yeah, the majority car companies

612
00:31:23,760 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: are saying a court every thousand miles. And the thing

613
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:29,640
Speaker 1: that gets me is, you know, okay, so a quart

614
00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:32,000
Speaker 1: of oil is cheap. Never mind the annoyance, and you know,

615
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:33,720
Speaker 1: it's their way of saying, hey, we built a piece

616
00:31:33,760 --> 00:31:37,280
Speaker 1: of junk and just accepted. But I wonder what that

617
00:31:37,320 --> 00:31:41,520
Speaker 1: does long term to oxygen sensor and catalytic converters, because

618
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:44,040
Speaker 1: obviously the exhaust is passing out the tailpipe and it's

619
00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:46,840
Speaker 1: leaving oil residuing the exhaust. It's it's got to be.

620
00:31:47,320 --> 00:31:49,920
Speaker 1: So you know, it's the car gets a hundred forty

621
00:31:49,960 --> 00:31:51,440
Speaker 1: thousand miles and all of a sudden it needs a

622
00:31:51,480 --> 00:31:53,480
Speaker 1: catalytic converter. And you say to yourself, is it just

623
00:31:53,520 --> 00:31:56,160
Speaker 1: worn out or is it because it's been burning a

624
00:31:56,240 --> 00:31:58,840
Speaker 1: court of oil every thousand miles or two thousand miles

625
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:00,360
Speaker 1: in your case, And is that shorten the life of

626
00:32:00,360 --> 00:32:02,240
Speaker 1: the cat And it sure has the potential where it

627
00:32:02,240 --> 00:32:06,360
Speaker 1: would do that with the vehicle. I generally don't even

628
00:32:06,360 --> 00:32:08,640
Speaker 1: bother to check them. You know, didn't seem like every

629
00:32:08,680 --> 00:32:11,000
Speaker 1: usual oil and between all changes, and I don't see

630
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,640
Speaker 1: it's smoking or you know it's not noticeable. Well you won't.

631
00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:16,360
Speaker 1: You won't see. You won't see any modern vehicle smoke

632
00:32:16,440 --> 00:32:19,720
Speaker 1: really because the catalytic converters, you know, swallowing all of

633
00:32:19,720 --> 00:32:22,400
Speaker 1: it and it's trying to it's it's it's oxidizing it

634
00:32:22,440 --> 00:32:25,400
Speaker 1: down and you know it's it's having its catalytic reaction.

635
00:32:25,800 --> 00:32:29,600
Speaker 1: So but um, you know, yeah, that's that's acceptable. Welcome

655
00:33:37,240 --> 00:33:39,880
Speaker 1: let's just stare right to the subject. Two thousand to

656
00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: Civic family. One of the family members had the car,

657
00:33:43,440 --> 00:33:47,200
Speaker 1: gets a recall on the air, bit brings it in.

658
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:51,800
Speaker 1: They do the recall. Everything's fine. Three months down in

659
00:33:51,840 --> 00:33:54,120
Speaker 1: the road. The main sense of board and the car

660
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:57,560
Speaker 1: goes brings it back home. I can finds out that

661
00:33:57,640 --> 00:33:59,800
Speaker 1: Hans is the only one that can do it. They

662
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:02,760
Speaker 1: have the only ones that have to software to turn

663
00:34:02,800 --> 00:34:06,080
Speaker 1: around and hand it tells the family member it's gonna

664
00:34:06,160 --> 00:34:08,239
Speaker 1: court a thousand dollars to replace it and put it

665
00:34:08,280 --> 00:34:11,239
Speaker 1: all back together. And if you don't do it, it's

666
00:34:11,280 --> 00:34:13,840
Speaker 1: a safety has to because it controls your air bags,

667
00:34:13,920 --> 00:34:17,200
Speaker 1: it controls your seatbelt and everything in the cost if

668
00:34:17,200 --> 00:34:19,799
Speaker 1: you get an accident if you afford See you like

669
00:34:19,880 --> 00:34:22,160
Speaker 1: that one. So what you're saying is you don't like

670
00:34:22,360 --> 00:34:25,880
Speaker 1: the fact that the car manufacturers now have a proprietary

671
00:34:25,920 --> 00:34:29,560
Speaker 1: hold over the majority of vehicles on the road today

672
00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:32,720
Speaker 1: and they control the market. Is that what you're saying exactly,

673
00:34:33,320 --> 00:34:37,719
Speaker 1: exactly exactly what had a local dealership. I looked up

674
00:34:37,719 --> 00:34:40,160
Speaker 1: the part I know at the pot course it was

675
00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,759
Speaker 1: half that price. And of course when you go to

676
00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,319
Speaker 1: the dealership, you're paying any amount of money per put

677
00:34:45,320 --> 00:34:51,200
Speaker 1: at mechanic. Okay, um, understandable, Okay, understandable. But here you are,

678
00:34:51,520 --> 00:34:54,640
Speaker 1: you're going to recall. And there's articles coming out in

679
00:34:54,719 --> 00:34:58,360
Speaker 1: magazines and books saying that by the doing the recall,

680
00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:01,920
Speaker 1: it's blowing the board. They're saying it's not and it's

681
00:35:01,960 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: the customers responsibility. We have a customer that we have

682
00:35:05,120 --> 00:35:07,680
Speaker 1: a customer at the shop now we have we have

683
00:35:07,719 --> 00:35:09,560
Speaker 1: a customer at the shop of the two thousand two

684
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:12,560
Speaker 1: Civic that went through the air big recall, and she's

685
00:35:12,600 --> 00:35:15,840
Speaker 1: been back to Honda three times because ever since. And

686
00:35:16,080 --> 00:35:18,279
Speaker 1: I wonder what's going on here, And that explains some

687
00:35:18,360 --> 00:35:21,319
Speaker 1: of it that ever since now she's they've been throwing

688
00:35:21,320 --> 00:35:24,399
Speaker 1: seatbelts at the car, they've been throwing modules at the car. There.

689
00:35:25,800 --> 00:35:27,879
Speaker 1: It seems like they've got a problem that nobody wants

690
00:35:27,880 --> 00:35:31,400
Speaker 1: to talk about. Um, But yeah, valid points, Frank, Hey, listen,

691
00:35:31,600 --> 00:35:33,600
Speaker 1: where do you get to a twenty six team car

692
00:35:33,640 --> 00:35:36,080
Speaker 1: and there's a hundred and fourteen modules on board and

693
00:35:36,600 --> 00:35:38,279
Speaker 1: dealers you're the only ones that can handle it. And

694
00:35:38,280 --> 00:35:40,120
Speaker 1: if we let the industry get away from us like

695
00:35:40,160 --> 00:35:43,080
Speaker 1: it slowly is, that's going to be the future in

696
00:35:43,120 --> 00:35:45,239
Speaker 1: a very short period of time, four or five years

697
00:35:45,239 --> 00:35:48,560
Speaker 1: from now. Yeah, dealers will be the only ones fixing cars.

698
00:35:48,600 --> 00:35:50,680
Speaker 1: But Frank, listen, don't worry about it, because the majority

699
00:35:50,680 --> 00:35:52,680
Speaker 1: of people are only worried about what's on their cell phone,

700
00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:55,120
Speaker 1: what they're looking at and not necessarily about the car.

701
00:35:55,320 --> 00:35:57,520
Speaker 1: I'm running any in the car, Doctor, until the next time.

702
00:35:57,680 --> 00:36:02,520
Speaker 1: The mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless. See you never one.

703
00:36:06,480 --> 00:36:08,160
Speaker 1: She was s
