And as 4 00:00:11,800 --> 00:00:14,880 Speaker 1: a result of that, we're seeing people fixed cars that 5 00:00:15,200 --> 00:00:18,000 Speaker 1: two years ago, three years ago. Man, I'm not gonna 6 00:00:18,000 --> 00:00:20,320 Speaker 1: puck you know that kind of just taking this in 7 00:00:28,360 --> 00:00:30,520 Speaker 1: the Car Doctor.

But I wanted to see 11 00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:44,040 Speaker 1: what you thought, longevity wise, which car would be in 12 00:00:44,080 --> 00:00:47,080 Speaker 1: a better car? M? What say you? What? That's a 13 00:00:47,159 --> 00:00:50,319 Speaker 1: good question. Brother. Welcome to the radio home of Ron 14 00:00:50,400 --> 00:00:55,200 Speaker 1: and the Car Doctor, since this is where car owners 15 00:00:55,240 --> 00:00:59,680 Speaker 1: the world overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair. 16 00:01:00,160 --> 00:01:02,920 Speaker 1: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up 17 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:06,440 Speaker 1: the phone and call in the garage to orders are open. 18 00:01:06,640 --> 00:01:08,600 Speaker 1: But I am here to take your calls at eight 19 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:17,000 Speaker 1: five five s now running. Are you doing enough to 20 00:01:17,080 --> 00:01:18,880 Speaker 1: take care of your car? I don't know, are you? 21 00:01:18,920 --> 00:01:21,399 Speaker 1: I I think about these things. I just I have 22 00:01:21,480 --> 00:01:24,400 Speaker 1: the spur of the moment ideas in my head as 23 00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:27,880 Speaker 1: I'm driving around or walking around, and and just uh, 24 00:01:27,920 --> 00:01:30,560 Speaker 1: you know, do I explain it right? You know? One 25 00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:32,640 Speaker 1: of the hardest things about radio, I think, is when 26 00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:34,480 Speaker 1: you're in the social in the in the eye of 27 00:01:34,480 --> 00:01:37,760 Speaker 1: the medians and social media, in the public eyees. You know, 28 00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:40,160 Speaker 1: are you presenting enough of the facts? Do I empty 29 00:01:40,200 --> 00:01:43,160 Speaker 1: my head in the right way and in the right manner? 30 00:01:43,200 --> 00:01:46,000 Speaker 1: Do you understand what I'm saying? Am I presenting it correctly? 31 00:01:46,040 --> 00:01:48,320 Speaker 1: Because just because I'm the guy sitting here on this 32 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,960 Speaker 1: side of the microphone doesn't mean I'm always right. Well, 33 00:01:52,480 --> 00:01:54,880 Speaker 1: probably i am, but you get the point. So I 34 00:01:54,920 --> 00:01:57,880 Speaker 1: have to I have to make Tom feel good. So um, 35 00:01:57,920 --> 00:02:00,200 Speaker 1: you know it. I always make Tom laugh anyway during 36 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:01,720 Speaker 1: at least at least I get to make Tom laugh 37 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:04,400 Speaker 1: during the course of this show every week. So the 38 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,560 Speaker 1: indubitable Tom rays He's been my producer and engineer these 39 00:02:07,600 --> 00:02:09,800 Speaker 1: many years. But are you doing enough to take care 40 00:02:09,800 --> 00:02:11,760 Speaker 1: of your car? You know? It's the simple things, right, 41 00:02:11,760 --> 00:02:14,400 Speaker 1: It's it's the because I see people in panic, and 42 00:02:14,400 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: that's what I always think about it. I always think 43 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:19,400 Speaker 1: about how you know, we'll always change the oil after 44 00:02:19,440 --> 00:02:21,840 Speaker 1: we blow up the engine, which you know, it's just 45 00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:25,440 Speaker 1: it's just what we do. It's you know, it's we 46 00:02:25,480 --> 00:02:27,680 Speaker 1: always you know, we we just learned to do the 47 00:02:27,760 --> 00:02:30,720 Speaker 1: right thing after it's too late and and I wonder 48 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,959 Speaker 1: are we doing enough preventative? So I want to kick 49 00:02:34,040 --> 00:02:36,680 Speaker 1: off this hour and this weekend as we get together, 50 00:02:36,720 --> 00:02:39,079 Speaker 1: and I appreciate you being here. You know a little bit, 51 00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:42,400 Speaker 1: you know, fluids service maintenance. Um, if your car is 52 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:43,960 Speaker 1: more than five years old, when was the last time 53 00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:45,640 Speaker 1: you put a battery in it? We're heading into winter 54 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:49,400 Speaker 1: in most of North America as the weather is getting colder. 55 00:02:49,440 --> 00:02:53,520 Speaker 1: Today's October, the first weekend in October, and um, you know, 56 00:02:53,600 --> 00:02:55,720 Speaker 1: are you ready for winter? Is the battery done? Have 57 00:02:55,760 --> 00:02:57,720 Speaker 1: you thought about putting a battery in the car? You know, 58 00:02:57,800 --> 00:03:01,919 Speaker 1: just because it starts doesn't mean cars ready for winter? Uh, 59 00:03:01,960 --> 00:03:03,720 Speaker 1: you know, it just means it's time for a physical. 60 00:03:03,720 --> 00:03:05,720 Speaker 1: It's time for us to get your tongue and say, oh, moment, 61 00:03:06,080 --> 00:03:08,040 Speaker 1: what was the last time if somebody or you or 62 00:03:08,040 --> 00:03:10,560 Speaker 1: anybody lifted the hood and check the engine, oil, checked, 63 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:13,160 Speaker 1: any of the fluids, just did a general walk around. 64 00:03:13,200 --> 00:03:15,280 Speaker 1: I know cars are getting better, and I know they're 65 00:03:15,480 --> 00:03:18,480 Speaker 1: you know, they never need anything, you know, for something 66 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:20,360 Speaker 1: that never needs anything. There's sure a lot of cars 67 00:03:20,360 --> 00:03:22,760 Speaker 1: and repair shops all across this great country of ours, 68 00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,919 Speaker 1: and there's sure a lot of broken cars. So just 69 00:03:24,919 --> 00:03:27,680 Speaker 1: just a little bit of a reminder to, you know, 70 00:03:27,840 --> 00:03:29,959 Speaker 1: get out there and think a little bit about the car, 71 00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,160 Speaker 1: and uh do what you have to do. Um, you know. 72 00:03:33,280 --> 00:03:36,680 Speaker 1: And judging by the number of cyclops is I see 73 00:03:36,720 --> 00:03:38,520 Speaker 1: on the roads in New Jersey and I can only 74 00:03:38,560 --> 00:03:41,040 Speaker 1: imagine what they're like across the rest of the country, 75 00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: it might be a good time to check light bulbs, uh, 76 00:03:43,560 --> 00:03:45,600 Speaker 1: you know. And that's something real simple. That's something you 77 00:03:45,640 --> 00:03:47,560 Speaker 1: can do. You don't have to get out of the car, 78 00:03:47,960 --> 00:03:49,760 Speaker 1: all right, Pull up to the garage door, pull up 79 00:03:49,760 --> 00:03:51,280 Speaker 1: to the side of the house, turn on the lights. 80 00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,240 Speaker 1: When it's dark. Are both headlights lit to both do 81 00:03:54,280 --> 00:03:58,440 Speaker 1: both high beams, light up, the directionals flashed the you know, 82 00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:00,840 Speaker 1: slow this side slow that side. If one side is 83 00:04:00,880 --> 00:04:03,600 Speaker 1: fast and one side slow, you likely have a bull 84 00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:07,760 Speaker 1: about You've got something going on. So just good basic, 85 00:04:08,040 --> 00:04:12,600 Speaker 1: solid maintenance. Wait at two thousand eleven g Compass, come 86 00:04:12,640 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: into the shop this week. I'll tell you this story 87 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:18,000 Speaker 1: real quick, A little bit of diagnostic dilemma. And here 88 00:04:18,040 --> 00:04:20,480 Speaker 1: I am emptying my head. And it came to us 89 00:04:20,520 --> 00:04:22,600 Speaker 1: from our friend Peter, who owns a local body shop 90 00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,920 Speaker 1: next town over, and it was his daughter's car. And 91 00:04:25,960 --> 00:04:28,400 Speaker 1: I think there's a rule somewhere that, you know, doctors 92 00:04:28,400 --> 00:04:31,159 Speaker 1: are not allowed to work on their family and I 93 00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:33,919 Speaker 1: sometimes wonder if it should apply that way when it 94 00:04:33,920 --> 00:04:36,560 Speaker 1: comes to family of mechanics and so forth, that they 95 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:38,600 Speaker 1: shouldn't be allowed to work on their their own families 96 00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:41,840 Speaker 1: cars because they only get themselves in trouble. And as 97 00:04:41,880 --> 00:04:44,120 Speaker 1: Peter said, he said, I'm a part changer. I'm not 98 00:04:44,160 --> 00:04:46,320 Speaker 1: a mechanic. He goes, you guys are the mechanics. That's 99 00:04:46,320 --> 00:04:49,040 Speaker 1: why I've brought it to you. But in an attempt 100 00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:53,680 Speaker 1: to appease his teenage daughter keyword teenage, hence the dad, 101 00:04:53,720 --> 00:04:56,600 Speaker 1: I gotta have my car because you know, I've got 102 00:04:56,600 --> 00:04:58,240 Speaker 1: to get to the mall or something. I'm not sure 103 00:04:58,279 --> 00:05:01,400 Speaker 1: what the crisis was at the moment, and um, he 104 00:05:01,440 --> 00:05:03,599 Speaker 1: attempted to fix it. So he in at P zero 105 00:05:03,680 --> 00:05:07,400 Speaker 1: three thirty five, which is a crank censor performance fault 106 00:05:07,480 --> 00:05:10,039 Speaker 1: for this particular jeep. So he ran out real quick 107 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:12,960 Speaker 1: and he put a crank censor in it. Well I 108 00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:16,200 Speaker 1: didn't do it quick, but he tried. You know, I 109 00:05:16,279 --> 00:05:18,440 Speaker 1: wonder what the engineer was thinking. I think he was. 110 00:05:18,600 --> 00:05:20,400 Speaker 1: I think he was drunk when he designed this car, 111 00:05:20,520 --> 00:05:22,559 Speaker 1: because there's just no way you would put a crank 112 00:05:22,640 --> 00:05:28,240 Speaker 1: sensor in the back of the engine facing the firewall. Um. 113 00:05:28,880 --> 00:05:30,960 Speaker 1: And he thought that it would ever have to be changed, 114 00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:33,640 Speaker 1: this crank censor, because we ended up reading it. We 115 00:05:33,720 --> 00:05:36,279 Speaker 1: ended up reading what Peter did because and I still 116 00:05:36,320 --> 00:05:37,479 Speaker 1: don't know. I'll tell you the rest of the story 117 00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:38,839 Speaker 1: in a minute. Put it's just it's just I have 118 00:05:38,880 --> 00:05:40,840 Speaker 1: to complain about where the crank sensor was for a minute, 119 00:05:40,839 --> 00:05:44,000 Speaker 1: because there's just no way. Um. You know, poor Danny, 120 00:05:44,160 --> 00:05:47,120 Speaker 1: we had just gotten done doing a driver's side motor 121 00:05:47,160 --> 00:05:50,480 Speaker 1: mount on a Chevy Tahoe the day before, and have 122 00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:52,160 Speaker 1: you ever done one of those. You spend most of 123 00:05:52,200 --> 00:05:54,599 Speaker 1: the day laying on your ribs trying to, you know, 124 00:05:54,640 --> 00:05:56,400 Speaker 1: reach the four bolts that Jim didn't want you to 125 00:05:56,400 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 1: take out because they'd rather have you go buy a 126 00:05:57,839 --> 00:06:01,159 Speaker 1: new car. And he got done with that job, and 127 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:03,240 Speaker 1: then Friday he drew the short strow and he got 128 00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,560 Speaker 1: this crank censor repair at three o'clock in the afternoon 129 00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,159 Speaker 1: to thirty in the afternoon that it had to go 130 00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:10,320 Speaker 1: by five. And again he's laying on these crushed ribs 131 00:06:10,320 --> 00:06:13,160 Speaker 1: from the day before, and the crank censor is facing 132 00:06:13,200 --> 00:06:18,039 Speaker 1: the firewall, so you can't see anything. You can see 133 00:06:18,040 --> 00:06:20,800 Speaker 1: it in a mirror. So if you use one hand 134 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:24,080 Speaker 1: to hold the mirror and another hand to hold the light, well, 135 00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:26,320 Speaker 1: you know you gotta have one hand free to take 136 00:06:26,320 --> 00:06:28,120 Speaker 1: the bolt out and get the sensor out so you 137 00:06:28,120 --> 00:06:30,800 Speaker 1: can see the problem. There's a dilemma here. You can't 138 00:06:30,800 --> 00:06:32,320 Speaker 1: get over the top of the trans because it was 139 00:06:32,360 --> 00:06:34,360 Speaker 1: an all wheel drive and the final drive unit was 140 00:06:34,400 --> 00:06:36,240 Speaker 1: in the way, and it was just you know, you 141 00:06:36,279 --> 00:06:39,760 Speaker 1: talk about teamwork. I I just think the engineer was drunk. 142 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,720 Speaker 1: I just think he went out to breakfast and had 143 00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:43,760 Speaker 1: a liquid breakfast and then I lookuid Luncheon came back 144 00:06:43,800 --> 00:06:45,880 Speaker 1: and said, okay, let's put it into production. We'll get 145 00:06:45,880 --> 00:06:49,159 Speaker 1: somebody to change that. Somebody will make it work. The 146 00:06:49,240 --> 00:06:52,800 Speaker 1: problem was with Peters, And you know, this is partly 147 00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:55,479 Speaker 1: about does it pay to diagnose the problem that the 148 00:06:55,480 --> 00:06:58,320 Speaker 1: guy tried to fix or do you just baseline the vehicle? 149 00:06:58,360 --> 00:07:01,800 Speaker 1: And I like the baseline things. Peter didn't get an 150 00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:03,960 Speaker 1: O we party got an after market something from a 151 00:07:04,000 --> 00:07:05,599 Speaker 1: no name because he was in a rush and it 152 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:07,000 Speaker 1: was all he could get at that moment. It was 153 00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:09,400 Speaker 1: a late Saturday afternoon kind of a thing, and he 154 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,000 Speaker 1: decided to throw apart at it. And he spent all 155 00:07:12,040 --> 00:07:14,000 Speaker 1: that time. He did this crank censor in his driveway 156 00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:15,680 Speaker 1: on the ground, which I was shocked at. I said, 157 00:07:15,760 --> 00:07:17,520 Speaker 1: my god, you deserve a medal just for doing that. 158 00:07:17,520 --> 00:07:20,520 Speaker 1: That's got to be that of the year material. And 159 00:07:21,560 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: we finally got it out and you could see that 160 00:07:23,760 --> 00:07:28,440 Speaker 1: the censor, the O ring of the censor was was 161 00:07:28,440 --> 00:07:32,880 Speaker 1: was torn. It didn't sit flat when he put it in. No, 162 00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,880 Speaker 1: I don't know if it didn't sit flat when he 163 00:07:34,880 --> 00:07:36,680 Speaker 1: put it in because it was a poor fit, poor 164 00:07:36,800 --> 00:07:40,040 Speaker 1: quality kind of apart or was he in a rush 165 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:41,640 Speaker 1: when he put it in, because it's kind of hard 166 00:07:41,680 --> 00:07:43,960 Speaker 1: to do wrong once you once you finally get it out, 167 00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:47,760 Speaker 1: you can get it back in. I don't know. I 168 00:07:47,840 --> 00:07:50,720 Speaker 1: do know that the Chrysler crank sensor went into the vehicle. 169 00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:53,400 Speaker 1: We buttoned everything back up and and got it working 170 00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,440 Speaker 1: and we did the crank relearn It required a camp 171 00:07:56,480 --> 00:07:59,520 Speaker 1: crank sink relearn issue test to be done, and we 172 00:07:59,560 --> 00:08:03,520 Speaker 1: did that past and it was fixed. And I thought 173 00:08:03,560 --> 00:08:05,840 Speaker 1: about this because I'm the guy about you know, I'm 174 00:08:05,880 --> 00:08:08,360 Speaker 1: all about diagnosed, right, I'm all about you know, test 175 00:08:08,400 --> 00:08:12,600 Speaker 1: test test. But it it's made me realize that in 176 00:08:12,680 --> 00:08:15,360 Speaker 1: some cases. And I've been thinking about this lately because 177 00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:18,440 Speaker 1: I'm trying to there's that word again, relevant. I'm trying 178 00:08:18,440 --> 00:08:21,080 Speaker 1: to remain relevant and change with the times, which you know, 179 00:08:21,880 --> 00:08:23,520 Speaker 1: I don't know. I think a dinosaur still looks like 180 00:08:23,520 --> 00:08:28,960 Speaker 1: a dinosaur in your two But that's okay. And you know, 181 00:08:29,760 --> 00:08:32,200 Speaker 1: maybe sometimes it doesn't pay. Maybe it sometimes it doesn't 182 00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:34,079 Speaker 1: pay to you know, I got out the scope and 183 00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:35,840 Speaker 1: I could have looked at the censor. If I could 184 00:08:35,840 --> 00:08:38,360 Speaker 1: have found the wire and the PCM and I could 185 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:41,120 Speaker 1: have gone that whole drill. But you know what, I 186 00:08:41,280 --> 00:08:45,440 Speaker 1: just I just don't like cheap parts. I don't like 187 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,960 Speaker 1: no name stuff, you know. I want to use the 188 00:08:47,960 --> 00:08:49,680 Speaker 1: best there is. I want to use a dealer part 189 00:08:49,679 --> 00:08:51,079 Speaker 1: if I can. In a lot of cases for a 190 00:08:51,120 --> 00:08:53,240 Speaker 1: lot of these things, just on on the heart to 191 00:08:53,280 --> 00:08:55,600 Speaker 1: do stuff just as long as I know who's making 192 00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,320 Speaker 1: the part. Kind of a thing, um, and it fixed it. 193 00:08:59,400 --> 00:09:01,480 Speaker 1: We ended up in the jeep late in the day. 194 00:09:01,720 --> 00:09:04,760 Speaker 1: It definitely didn't pay a diagnosis. It was, you know, 195 00:09:04,960 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: get it in baseline the car because at least I 196 00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:09,840 Speaker 1: knew for the price of replacing that censor and the 197 00:09:09,880 --> 00:09:13,040 Speaker 1: price of the part itself. Uh, if it didn't fix it, 198 00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:14,920 Speaker 1: I knew what my next step was going to be. 199 00:09:15,800 --> 00:09:18,000 Speaker 1: And my next step was a little drastic, and I 200 00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:19,720 Speaker 1: didn't think that was going to be the case. I 201 00:09:19,760 --> 00:09:21,920 Speaker 1: did also look it up, in all fairness that this 202 00:09:22,040 --> 00:09:24,840 Speaker 1: vehicle had been in an accident prior and the right 203 00:09:25,120 --> 00:09:27,680 Speaker 1: side front corner of the vehicle had been replaced, and 204 00:09:27,720 --> 00:09:29,720 Speaker 1: I looked over the wiring there and there were no 205 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,840 Speaker 1: critical grounds or powers or anything in that area of 206 00:09:32,880 --> 00:09:35,840 Speaker 1: the vehicle. Um. That made me want to do it 207 00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: that way. I will say this, and this is key. 208 00:09:38,920 --> 00:09:41,280 Speaker 1: What made me really believe it was a bad crank 209 00:09:41,360 --> 00:09:46,560 Speaker 1: censor was the the conversation I had with Peter beforehand. 210 00:09:47,080 --> 00:09:52,760 Speaker 1: Because the vehicle drop that stalled wouldn't restart when he 211 00:09:52,960 --> 00:09:56,520 Speaker 1: when it when it failed, and afterwards it would run, 212 00:09:56,720 --> 00:10:00,800 Speaker 1: but it ran badly. That tells me he changed something 213 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:03,920 Speaker 1: of the dynamics of what was wrong with that vehicle. 214 00:10:04,160 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: The new crank sensor made a difference. But I didn't 215 00:10:07,400 --> 00:10:09,160 Speaker 1: know it was the part right. I didn't know was 216 00:10:09,200 --> 00:10:13,280 Speaker 1: the part installed correctly. I didn't know was there other entanglements. 217 00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:15,480 Speaker 1: But the fact that something changed in the way that 218 00:10:15,559 --> 00:10:19,400 Speaker 1: vehicle operated putting a crank sensor in it seemed to 219 00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:22,040 Speaker 1: me to make the most sense. And and frankly, had 220 00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:24,560 Speaker 1: I scoped it. And you don't need to know much 221 00:10:24,559 --> 00:10:26,679 Speaker 1: about scopes to understand this, but you know, if you've 222 00:10:26,720 --> 00:10:28,319 Speaker 1: ever been in an emergency room and you've watched that 223 00:10:28,360 --> 00:10:31,720 Speaker 1: little bouncing, you know the heart rate, the blood trace 224 00:10:31,880 --> 00:10:36,640 Speaker 1: when you watch the bouncing, you know lightbeam. Well, I'm 225 00:10:36,679 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: sure I would have seen a bad crank sensor wave 226 00:10:38,600 --> 00:10:42,199 Speaker 1: for him. And in the interest of time, I was 227 00:10:42,200 --> 00:10:43,920 Speaker 1: trying to get this car out, I said, if I 228 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:45,480 Speaker 1: see it. So if I see a bad wave for him, 229 00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:47,400 Speaker 1: what am I gonna do? I take the crank sensor out. 230 00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:49,400 Speaker 1: I'm gonna look at it. I'm gonna run some tests. 231 00:10:49,640 --> 00:10:53,160 Speaker 1: I knew it had power and ground. I did that much. Um, 232 00:10:53,200 --> 00:10:55,840 Speaker 1: you know, sometimes it doesn't pay a diagnose, just just 233 00:10:56,320 --> 00:10:58,000 Speaker 1: not to upset your apple cart. I know you think 234 00:10:58,040 --> 00:11:00,360 Speaker 1: I'm a big diagnostic guy, and I am. But there 235 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:01,920 Speaker 1: are some moments where you gotta go with your gut 236 00:11:01,960 --> 00:11:04,960 Speaker 1: shot and every once in a while your gut is right. So, Peter, 237 00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:06,720 Speaker 1: I hope you're enjoying the car this weekend. I told 238 00:11:06,760 --> 00:11:09,320 Speaker 1: you I would talk about it. So, UM. Anyway, that's that. 239 00:11:09,640 --> 00:11:11,120 Speaker 1: Are you doing enough to take care of your car? 240 00:11:11,200 --> 00:11:12,280 Speaker 1: I want to get that out there. I want to 241 00:11:12,320 --> 00:11:14,640 Speaker 1: start talking about that this hour. We're gonna do it 242 00:11:14,720 --> 00:11:18,920 Speaker 1: this hour.

Hey, let's get over 261 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,360 Speaker 1: to Ian in Montreal with seven Pontiac torrent and see 262 00:12:20,400 --> 00:12:22,080 Speaker 1: what's going on here. Ian, Welcome to the Car Doctor. 263 00:12:22,080 --> 00:12:24,480 Speaker 1: How can I help? Good afternoons for a thing? For 264 00:12:24,600 --> 00:12:26,640 Speaker 1: taking my call? Yeah, So we have an O seven 265 00:12:26,720 --> 00:12:30,520 Speaker 1: torrent Um. We've had it since new got about seventy 266 00:12:30,520 --> 00:12:32,480 Speaker 1: five miles on it, and this is gonna be the 267 00:12:32,520 --> 00:12:35,520 Speaker 1: fourth time I have to replace the block heater element. 268 00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:39,160 Speaker 1: And I've done it before. I just don't recall if 269 00:12:39,200 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: I have to drain the coolant or not, if I 270 00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:45,640 Speaker 1: remember right, it's a while now. Um, I don't think 271 00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:48,120 Speaker 1: I had to. It's a cartridge type heater. It's screws 272 00:12:48,200 --> 00:12:50,240 Speaker 1: in to the back of the block. But I don't 273 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,960 Speaker 1: recall if I have to to drain the coolant. So 274 00:12:53,000 --> 00:12:54,959 Speaker 1: I'm just that's what And I thought in the book, 275 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,800 Speaker 1: why do you in the book, why are you constantly 276 00:12:57,840 --> 00:13:00,760 Speaker 1: replacing it? Is my question. I don't know. I don't know, right. 277 00:13:00,840 --> 00:13:05,679 Speaker 1: I ordered a GM part. The first one was actually 278 00:13:06,280 --> 00:13:10,680 Speaker 1: replaced by GM under warranty through our dealer, and then 279 00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:13,920 Speaker 1: that one lasted maybe three or four years, and then 280 00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: I had to change it again. And then we noticed 281 00:13:17,320 --> 00:13:20,920 Speaker 1: last year during the winter that it's failed again. And 282 00:13:21,320 --> 00:13:24,080 Speaker 1: you know, I don't have an inside garage, heated garage 283 00:13:24,520 --> 00:13:26,480 Speaker 1: where I can do this stuff, so we just may 284 00:13:26,559 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 1: do without it last season. But this is the wife's car, 285 00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,840 Speaker 1: and you know she must be obeyed. So I said 286 00:13:32,840 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: I would picked it, and I've got the part. I've 287 00:13:34,400 --> 00:13:37,240 Speaker 1: actually got a GM O E M part. I just 288 00:13:37,320 --> 00:13:38,920 Speaker 1: don't recall if I need to drain the cooler. I 289 00:13:39,000 --> 00:13:40,679 Speaker 1: think you have to drain the cooling because I remember, right, 290 00:13:40,679 --> 00:13:42,480 Speaker 1: doesn't this go in place of one of the freeze 291 00:13:42,480 --> 00:13:45,400 Speaker 1: out plugs one of the core plugs. No, it doesn't. 292 00:13:45,440 --> 00:13:48,800 Speaker 1: Where it goes in back to the motor, and it's 293 00:13:48,840 --> 00:13:53,160 Speaker 1: threaded in, It's got threads on it. It's about an 294 00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:55,400 Speaker 1: inch it's about an inch in diameter and it's got 295 00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:57,440 Speaker 1: threads in it and it goes into the back of 296 00:13:57,480 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: the motor. All right, let's do this. It was the 297 00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:03,079 Speaker 1: lest time it changed the cooling in the car. I 298 00:14:03,120 --> 00:14:05,040 Speaker 1: don't know, it's probably three or four years. I guess 299 00:14:05,040 --> 00:14:06,760 Speaker 1: it could. I guess it could be done right and 300 00:14:06,760 --> 00:14:09,800 Speaker 1: before before you do anything, though, can you get out, 301 00:14:09,960 --> 00:14:11,839 Speaker 1: can you get out to an auto parts store and 302 00:14:11,880 --> 00:14:14,199 Speaker 1: grab what we call down here, down here, we call 303 00:14:14,280 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: them dip strips. It's a it's an acidic testing strip, 304 00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:19,600 Speaker 1: just to make sure the cooling system hasn't gone acidic. 305 00:14:20,520 --> 00:14:25,720 Speaker 1: And yeah, and just verify the actual acidic or base 306 00:14:25,840 --> 00:14:28,480 Speaker 1: state of the coolant to make sure, because maybe we're 307 00:14:28,560 --> 00:14:31,440 Speaker 1: rotting these things from the outside in and that's what's 308 00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:35,000 Speaker 1: causing the failure. Maybe they're working in a cost they're 309 00:14:35,000 --> 00:14:38,440 Speaker 1: constantly open, just constantly an open circuit. Right, it's the 310 00:14:38,480 --> 00:14:45,360 Speaker 1: first it's failing. It's failing electrically, right, yes, exactly. Okay, Well, 311 00:14:45,640 --> 00:14:47,400 Speaker 1: like I said, I would just you know, the only 312 00:14:47,400 --> 00:14:49,760 Speaker 1: thing I could think of is it could have something 313 00:14:49,800 --> 00:14:51,760 Speaker 1: to do with the environment it's in. And I wouldn't 314 00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:54,520 Speaker 1: It wouldn't hurt me to wouldn't hurt you to do 315 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:57,640 Speaker 1: an acidic test strip, and maybe it's maybe I'll just 316 00:14:57,680 --> 00:15:00,640 Speaker 1: do it cool and system service away and get it 317 00:15:00,680 --> 00:15:04,200 Speaker 1: done with it. It doesn't hurt maintenance, like you just said, preventive. 318 00:15:04,600 --> 00:15:07,480 Speaker 1: Preventive maintenance doesn't hurt. No, not at Okay, Well, anyway, 319 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,800 Speaker 1: I'll when I when I crack, when I crack the 320 00:15:09,840 --> 00:15:11,760 Speaker 1: threads on on the thing, and I think you're gonna 321 00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:15,040 Speaker 1: see cooling. I think you're gonna see cooling. Yeah, that 322 00:15:15,040 --> 00:15:17,640 Speaker 1: would be the only way because otherwise, otherwise they would 323 00:15:17,920 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: it would have to be immersed in coolant. Because otherwise 324 00:15:20,120 --> 00:15:22,640 Speaker 1: they're talking about you're putting it into the block itself. 325 00:15:22,960 --> 00:15:24,640 Speaker 1: That means it would have to heat the block. And 326 00:15:25,120 --> 00:15:27,600 Speaker 1: I think that's too much for it to do. Every 327 00:15:27,600 --> 00:15:30,680 Speaker 1: block heater i've seen is usually is immerged, not usually, 328 00:15:30,720 --> 00:15:32,960 Speaker 1: but it is immersed in coolant. Yeah, they look like 329 00:15:33,320 --> 00:15:36,040 Speaker 1: it looks like little kettle electric kettle elements, you know. Right, 330 00:15:36,320 --> 00:15:39,160 Speaker 1: All right, sir, I'll take your advice and your advisement 331 00:15:39,240 --> 00:15:43,200 Speaker 1: and get it done this week. God you will. Yeah, 332 00:15:43,280 --> 00:15:45,640 Speaker 1: it's uh, it's all about maintenance. Right. Let's go over 333 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:48,520 Speaker 1: to let's go over peat in Michigan seven jeep Liberty, Pete, 334 00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:51,800 Speaker 1: welcome to the car doctice, sir. What's going on? Hey Ron, 335 00:15:52,320 --> 00:15:56,600 Speaker 1: another peer with a jeep? Yeah, let me tell you 336 00:15:56,680 --> 00:16:00,280 Speaker 1: so by the way letter words. Yeah, when what you 337 00:16:00,320 --> 00:16:02,760 Speaker 1: and I think you're right all the time, no matter 338 00:16:02,800 --> 00:16:06,160 Speaker 1: what Tom says. Well, I think Tom is probably right once. 339 00:16:06,840 --> 00:16:10,600 Speaker 1: Um so, But anyway, I canna help you. What's going on? 340 00:16:11,960 --> 00:16:16,080 Speaker 1: So it's my girlfriend's jeep and she keeps getting pulled 341 00:16:16,080 --> 00:16:18,520 Speaker 1: the code and it's an obie. It's the O two 342 00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:22,240 Speaker 1: censor that it keeps flagging. But the weird thing is 343 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:25,040 Speaker 1: it won't tell me what bank. It won't tell me 344 00:16:25,160 --> 00:16:32,400 Speaker 1: a number anything, and and and and like eventually it'll 345 00:16:32,440 --> 00:16:34,200 Speaker 1: just go away. It could do it in the same day, 346 00:16:34,200 --> 00:16:36,280 Speaker 1: it'll come on and then later in the day it'll 347 00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:39,840 Speaker 1: just go away. How do you know it's an two 348 00:16:39,880 --> 00:16:43,600 Speaker 1: centser fault? Then, Pete? Based upon the codes I pulled, 349 00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:47,520 Speaker 1: So what code number is it? Um? I knew you 350 00:16:47,520 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: were going to ask me that. And I've pulled so 351 00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:51,680 Speaker 1: many codes on my vehicles. I put them in, I 352 00:16:51,760 --> 00:16:53,680 Speaker 1: write them down a pad and I put them in 353 00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,480 Speaker 1: my desk and I didn't date it or anything. So 354 00:16:56,680 --> 00:17:00,200 Speaker 1: I thought it was like a P zero one for 355 00:17:00,480 --> 00:17:05,119 Speaker 1: one something like that. Okay, P zero one four one, Yeah, 356 00:17:05,280 --> 00:17:07,720 Speaker 1: I think, don't let me do that. Um, what kind 357 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,600 Speaker 1: of scan what kind of scan tool are you using? 358 00:17:11,200 --> 00:17:14,920 Speaker 1: Just an inexpensive pan O B D two. But we 359 00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:17,760 Speaker 1: we took it up to you know, one of those 360 00:17:17,800 --> 00:17:22,520 Speaker 1: auto parts shops and use their expensive scanner. But here's 361 00:17:22,520 --> 00:17:26,960 Speaker 1: the thing, it's not storing the code in history. Okay, Well, 362 00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:30,800 Speaker 1: A one four one is a bank one censor to 363 00:17:31,119 --> 00:17:36,280 Speaker 1: heater circuit fault. So this this has to be a 364 00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: three seven right, there is a V six ye, so 365 00:17:39,880 --> 00:17:43,480 Speaker 1: it's gonna be bank one, which if I was a 366 00:17:43,520 --> 00:17:45,439 Speaker 1: betting man, I think it's the right side. I have 367 00:17:45,480 --> 00:17:47,560 Speaker 1: to think about that a minute. It is, it's the 368 00:17:47,640 --> 00:17:51,400 Speaker 1: right side, right cylinder one, cylinder one wherever cylinder one is, 369 00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,920 Speaker 1: and it's gonna be bank one cents or two. It's 370 00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:58,800 Speaker 1: a heater performance fault, meaning that electrically the computer isn't 371 00:17:59,080 --> 00:18:01,560 Speaker 1: What happens is the heter turns the heating circuit on 372 00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:04,320 Speaker 1: and then it looks for a voltage drop to dissipate 373 00:18:04,400 --> 00:18:07,000 Speaker 1: and tell it that or lack of a voltage dropping 374 00:18:06,960 --> 00:18:09,000 Speaker 1: and tell it that you know that the circuit is 375 00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:13,400 Speaker 1: actually working. It can't physically test that circuit for resistance 376 00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,439 Speaker 1: and it's not seeing enough. So my suspicion would be 377 00:18:16,440 --> 00:18:19,160 Speaker 1: that the heater or circuit itself of that sensor is failing. 378 00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:22,400 Speaker 1: You could try doing an home check of that sensor 379 00:18:22,520 --> 00:18:24,560 Speaker 1: cold first thing in the morning and comparing it to 380 00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,760 Speaker 1: the one on the other side. You've got two of 381 00:18:26,760 --> 00:18:29,439 Speaker 1: them there. They should both match and uh, you know, 382 00:18:29,560 --> 00:18:30,919 Speaker 1: kind of go from there. Just make sure if you 383 00:18:31,000 --> 00:18:33,000 Speaker 1: replace it, replace it where they correct part. Some of 384 00:18:33,000 --> 00:18:34,840 Speaker 1: those are hard to match, and then you want to 385 00:18:34,840 --> 00:18:36,680 Speaker 1: make sure you get the right one. Good luck to you, Pete. 386 00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:37,960 Speaker 1: Let me know what happens. I'm on the inning of 387 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:56,240 Speaker 1: the car doctor. I'll be back right after this. She's 388 00:18:56,280 --> 00:19:07,560 Speaker 1: real bying my phone. Nice, she's real buying my ful. Well, 389 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,760 Speaker 1: I want to know if, uh, maybe twenty years from 390 00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,359 Speaker 1: now they'll take out four O nine and put in 391 00:19:13,400 --> 00:19:16,399 Speaker 1: Tesla three. She's real fine my Tesla three? Yeah, I 392 00:19:16,440 --> 00:19:18,520 Speaker 1: don't think. So let's go to Jasper and pre follow 393 00:19:18,600 --> 00:19:20,399 Speaker 1: up from last week. Jasper, welcome back. What do you 394 00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:24,520 Speaker 1: got hey? Um, so are so the truck is now 395 00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,399 Speaker 1: a so we will so from what we from what 396 00:19:28,560 --> 00:19:31,040 Speaker 1: I figured out on the truck, there is a post 397 00:19:31,080 --> 00:19:35,760 Speaker 1: cylinder UM, and we've also narrowed it down to a 398 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:40,960 Speaker 1: possible two engine fault that's causing the idle issue because um, 399 00:19:41,000 --> 00:19:46,280 Speaker 1: we we're throwing unbunke um unused gas um through the 400 00:19:46,359 --> 00:19:50,840 Speaker 1: tail and pipe and also unused like and also and 401 00:19:50,920 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 1: also there's really like no real gas puff or anything. 402 00:19:55,560 --> 00:19:59,480 Speaker 1: It's just didn't refresh our memory, jasper. What's what's the 403 00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:02,760 Speaker 1: vehicle I really doing? Again? Um? So it has an 404 00:20:02,800 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: idle issue where it's cut, where it's where it's idles 405 00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:10,920 Speaker 1: speeding up, it's lying down over and over again. And 406 00:20:10,960 --> 00:20:14,600 Speaker 1: what fault code is in there? Uh? You haven't seen 407 00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:18,040 Speaker 1: any fault codes, it's but the truck doesn't show any 408 00:20:18,040 --> 00:20:21,000 Speaker 1: fault codes. Okay. And what's the variation on the idle speed? 409 00:20:21,040 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: How higher load does it go? Um? It can go 410 00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: pretty pretty low. Well, don't I need a number? Four rpm? 411 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:33,600 Speaker 1: Five rpm, eight rpm? What's what's the what's the range 412 00:20:33,600 --> 00:20:35,840 Speaker 1: of rpm sitting at idle? What does it go from? 413 00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:41,520 Speaker 1: What to what? I'm um, it usually goes up to it? 414 00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: Can it talks out at like like I'm not sure, 415 00:20:49,440 --> 00:20:52,399 Speaker 1: but I think it's averages around up five hundred, but 416 00:20:52,440 --> 00:20:55,920 Speaker 1: then it can dip down to like okay, well I 417 00:20:55,920 --> 00:20:58,480 Speaker 1: think at three would probably have stalled. They usually stole 418 00:20:58,560 --> 00:21:03,760 Speaker 1: under three seventy five. So, so is this you're saying 419 00:21:03,760 --> 00:21:11,280 Speaker 1: that this has an idle fluctuation of PM. It's yes, 420 00:21:11,400 --> 00:21:14,400 Speaker 1: it's just I'm not interest in shore, but I think 421 00:21:14,440 --> 00:21:18,440 Speaker 1: so it's Um, it only really happens that it only 422 00:21:18,480 --> 00:21:21,480 Speaker 1: happens when like the breaks initiated after like around five 423 00:21:21,560 --> 00:21:24,680 Speaker 1: miles you said you then it's just then when you break, 424 00:21:24,720 --> 00:21:27,399 Speaker 1: it starts to have that issue again. Okay, And what 425 00:21:27,440 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 1: do you do to get it to stop? Um? Usually 426 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:35,080 Speaker 1: we just have UM. Usually it just it doesn't something. 427 00:21:35,160 --> 00:21:37,240 Speaker 1: It takes ten minutes for it to go away when 428 00:21:37,240 --> 00:21:41,680 Speaker 1: you're stopped. Okay, I need better information, you know. I 429 00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:44,000 Speaker 1: can't tell if what you've got is the beginning of 430 00:21:44,000 --> 00:21:47,160 Speaker 1: a correct intake duct or if you've got a vacuum 431 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:52,800 Speaker 1: link going on, or I think I did send you 432 00:21:53,240 --> 00:21:56,359 Speaker 1: I did take a picture of the code on on 433 00:21:56,800 --> 00:22:01,760 Speaker 1: for the engine code. Uh the UM, I'll see if 434 00:22:01,760 --> 00:22:05,320 Speaker 1: I can find that. UM. Yeah, I never I've never 435 00:22:05,359 --> 00:22:07,639 Speaker 1: got any I got never got any pictures from you kuldo, 436 00:22:08,520 --> 00:22:13,280 Speaker 1: so and let me see if I can see something. 437 00:22:13,560 --> 00:22:15,679 Speaker 1: All right, Well, I don't know what that's. That's not 438 00:22:15,680 --> 00:22:18,120 Speaker 1: gonna necessarily tell me anything. I need to know better 439 00:22:18,160 --> 00:22:22,760 Speaker 1: pertinent information in terms of what's the RPM range, what's 440 00:22:22,840 --> 00:22:28,520 Speaker 1: the what's the flutter? Uh? You know what's it actually doing? Um? 441 00:22:28,560 --> 00:22:30,879 Speaker 1: You know what you're describing. Could also just be the 442 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:33,680 Speaker 1: idle air control valve, which is located under the throttle 443 00:22:33,720 --> 00:22:37,760 Speaker 1: body is getting stickier, stuck, and it doesn't have proper 444 00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:42,840 Speaker 1: flow and adjustment. Does this vehicle have air conditioning? Um? Yes, 445 00:22:43,240 --> 00:22:47,240 Speaker 1: and I'm not saying it is, but just you know, 446 00:22:47,280 --> 00:22:49,080 Speaker 1: if it does, it's also going to have an auxiliary 447 00:22:49,080 --> 00:22:52,000 Speaker 1: idol up valve. Make sure that that auxiliary idol up 448 00:22:52,040 --> 00:22:54,280 Speaker 1: valve isn't bleeding air and causing the idle speed to 449 00:22:54,320 --> 00:22:59,600 Speaker 1: fluctuate and change too. Okay, would be located that, well, 450 00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:01,800 Speaker 1: you're gonna find You're gonna have to trace it out 451 00:23:01,840 --> 00:23:04,919 Speaker 1: from the engine itself. There's gonna be an auxiliary idol up. Uh, 452 00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:06,800 Speaker 1: there's gonna be a base idle screw, and then there's 453 00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:08,920 Speaker 1: gonna be an auxiliary idle up of some kind leaking 454 00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:11,800 Speaker 1: air around the throttle plate. I don't remember at the 455 00:23:11,800 --> 00:23:13,880 Speaker 1: top of my head. I just know it's there. There's 456 00:23:13,920 --> 00:23:15,080 Speaker 1: got to be a way that they would have an 457 00:23:15,119 --> 00:23:18,000 Speaker 1: idle load compensator to adjust for additional load of the 458 00:23:18,040 --> 00:23:21,080 Speaker 1: A C compressor. Just make sure that doesn't have any involvement. 459 00:23:21,400 --> 00:23:24,159 Speaker 1: You could electrically disconnect it when you find it. If 460 00:23:24,200 --> 00:23:26,400 Speaker 1: you look under the hood and the vacuum diagrams, you'll 461 00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,640 Speaker 1: see a listing of vacuum diagrams there that will tell 462 00:23:29,720 --> 00:23:35,479 Speaker 1: you with regard you know what it is. Um, But again, 463 00:23:36,119 --> 00:23:38,480 Speaker 1: I need better information on what we're trying to fix. 464 00:23:38,600 --> 00:23:41,000 Speaker 1: I'm still not quite sure what we're chasing. It sounds 465 00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: like we're chasing an idle fluctuation of two rpm, but 466 00:23:44,480 --> 00:23:47,000 Speaker 1: you're not even sure of that. If it's idling at five, 467 00:23:47,400 --> 00:23:50,640 Speaker 1: it's idling well, And are you looking at the tach 468 00:23:50,760 --> 00:23:52,959 Speaker 1: to make your assessment or is it the engine itself 469 00:23:53,040 --> 00:23:56,440 Speaker 1: that's actually changing? All right, that's number one, number two, 470 00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:58,920 Speaker 1: So look at those things, try and find the idle 471 00:23:59,000 --> 00:24:00,800 Speaker 1: up for the A C C with that does for you, 472 00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:03,479 Speaker 1: take that out of the equation and then pull me back. 473 00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:06,239 Speaker 1: I'll let to talk to you again. UM. Let's talk 474 00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:08,639 Speaker 1: a little bit about where do I want to go here? Oh, 475 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:10,240 Speaker 1: let's talk about this email. I want to get this 476 00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:13,440 Speaker 1: done this week. Um, hey Ron, And this comes to 477 00:24:13,560 --> 00:24:15,680 Speaker 1: us after last week we were talking about the comp 478 00:24:15,800 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: cam's dilemma that Danny's going through with his Z Hey Ron, 479 00:24:20,280 --> 00:24:22,840 Speaker 1: I just looked at a new lu Nati roller conversion 480 00:24:22,920 --> 00:24:24,719 Speaker 1: camp for a four fifty four and the steel cam 481 00:24:24,840 --> 00:24:28,000 Speaker 1: card has no info for bronze tip, fuel pump shift, 482 00:24:28,119 --> 00:24:31,160 Speaker 1: or bronze distributor gear. You know that's not what we're 483 00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:32,680 Speaker 1: chasing here. First of all, I want to make it 484 00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:37,000 Speaker 1: very clear, Um, I was talking about a COMP cam problem, 485 00:24:37,119 --> 00:24:40,959 Speaker 1: not a Lunati cam problem, and not all roller cams 486 00:24:41,240 --> 00:24:44,080 Speaker 1: have this issue. I was speaking directly in our experience 487 00:24:44,359 --> 00:24:48,600 Speaker 1: with comp cams. The listener goes on to say, the 488 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: worst part is lack of quality. I could cut my 489 00:24:50,640 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: finger open on the edge of every camlobe with steel slivers. 490 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,199 Speaker 1: I can debut the cam and clean it and make 491 00:24:55,240 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: it work. I'm helping a friend. Last week. Your yellow 492 00:24:57,320 --> 00:24:59,960 Speaker 1: z came issue made me think I has to see 493 00:25:00,040 --> 00:25:02,200 Speaker 1: the camp shure enough, same problem ready to happen. I 494 00:25:02,320 --> 00:25:04,320 Speaker 1: wasn't saying there was sharp edges on the cam lobes, 495 00:25:04,720 --> 00:25:07,440 Speaker 1: all right. What I was saying, Mike is that in 496 00:25:07,520 --> 00:25:10,240 Speaker 1: the particular case of this, it wiped out the fuel 497 00:25:10,359 --> 00:25:14,400 Speaker 1: pump driver lobe, all right, and it wiped it out 498 00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 1: because comp cams did not anywhere in their literature in 499 00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:23,480 Speaker 1: the box the cam online alright, state that you have 500 00:25:23,640 --> 00:25:26,000 Speaker 1: to use a non ferrost material bronze or a breast 501 00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:29,639 Speaker 1: push rod tip. Um. They did mention somewhere along the 502 00:25:29,680 --> 00:25:32,720 Speaker 1: way about using a bronze or a breast distributor gear. 503 00:25:33,359 --> 00:25:36,399 Speaker 1: So I don't want to condemn every roller cam out there. 504 00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,800 Speaker 1: That's not what I'm saying. Uh, you know, there's an 505 00:25:38,880 --> 00:25:41,920 Speaker 1: issue where from what we're researching and finding out is 506 00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:44,800 Speaker 1: that a steel billet roller cam is always gonna have 507 00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:46,520 Speaker 1: a little bit of a copper color on the edges, 508 00:25:46,520 --> 00:25:49,040 Speaker 1: and that's the coding or the hardening process that the 509 00:25:49,119 --> 00:25:51,719 Speaker 1: cam manufacturer seems to be putting to these to make 510 00:25:51,800 --> 00:25:55,360 Speaker 1: them survive. UM. Bottom line, if you're installing a cam 511 00:25:55,480 --> 00:25:57,840 Speaker 1: and you're looking for particular information, and this is what 512 00:25:57,920 --> 00:26:00,640 Speaker 1: I wanted to address, make sure you call the cam 513 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:04,919 Speaker 1: shaft manufacturer, all right. That's the most important and whatever 514 00:26:04,960 --> 00:26:07,280 Speaker 1: they tell you, you know, where can you see this 515 00:26:07,400 --> 00:26:09,600 Speaker 1: in writing, because I can tell you from the comp 516 00:26:09,720 --> 00:26:12,840 Speaker 1: cam experience we had. We talked to techline. We got 517 00:26:12,960 --> 00:26:16,520 Speaker 1: one answer. We I sent, I sent a research group 518 00:26:16,680 --> 00:26:19,680 Speaker 1: out to a trade show and they spoke to a salesman. 519 00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:21,440 Speaker 1: At a matter of fact, it was the Try five 520 00:26:21,520 --> 00:26:25,399 Speaker 1: Nationals down in Kentucky over the summer, and the sales 521 00:26:25,480 --> 00:26:29,240 Speaker 1: people down there told us that you absolutely need to 522 00:26:29,400 --> 00:26:33,280 Speaker 1: run a brass or bronze fuel pump push rod. And 523 00:26:33,880 --> 00:26:35,840 Speaker 1: when we came back and spoke to somebody else at 524 00:26:35,880 --> 00:26:38,320 Speaker 1: Camp cam As, they said, no, it's not necessary. It's 525 00:26:38,359 --> 00:26:41,320 Speaker 1: got to be a defective camp. Three different stories, three 526 00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:45,240 Speaker 1: different people, three different answers. So you know, make sure 527 00:26:45,320 --> 00:26:47,879 Speaker 1: whatever anybody tells you, it's in writing. Going back to 528 00:26:47,960 --> 00:26:50,960 Speaker 1: what Mike saying, Mike, just you know, call the manufacturer. 529 00:26:50,960 --> 00:26:53,880 Speaker 1: If you want to pull a Lunati caminet, fine, call 530 00:26:53,960 --> 00:26:56,920 Speaker 1: the manufacturer. Asked them what you need to do it 531 00:26:57,080 --> 00:26:59,600 Speaker 1: to prep that cam for engine assembly. I will tell 532 00:26:59,600 --> 00:27:02,120 Speaker 1: you where he ended up. We ended up we're gonna 533 00:27:02,160 --> 00:27:03,960 Speaker 1: put an iss key cam in it. We called up 534 00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:06,800 Speaker 1: his can Darian out in California. Spoke to them, very 535 00:27:06,880 --> 00:27:09,760 Speaker 1: nice company, very knowledgeable. We believe we might have even 536 00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:12,639 Speaker 1: talked to edis Can Darian Jr. Who had the pleasure 537 00:27:12,680 --> 00:27:15,520 Speaker 1: of talking with myself on I think it was Thursday 538 00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:18,080 Speaker 1: or Friday when we ordered the camp and um, it 539 00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:19,840 Speaker 1: was funny. He's supposed to be my fifth cousin on 540 00:27:19,880 --> 00:27:21,600 Speaker 1: my mother's side or something. We talked about that a 541 00:27:21,640 --> 00:27:24,399 Speaker 1: little bit and left. But all our menions are related. 542 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,200 Speaker 1: I guess that's the way it works. So but yeah, 543 00:27:26,200 --> 00:27:28,840 Speaker 1: we're gonna put an isskey cam in danny Z twenty eight. 544 00:27:28,880 --> 00:27:30,400 Speaker 1: We'll see how that works out. We'll be back here 545 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:33,160 Speaker 1: to report that, hopefully within the month's time. We're waiting 546 00:27:33,200 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: for the machine shop now. So eight five five zero 547 00:27:36,080 --> 00:27:38,399 Speaker 1: nine zero. The car doctors coming back right after this. 548 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:55,520 Speaker 1: Don't go away fulcome back Ryan in the car doctor 549 00:27:55,560 --> 00:27:59,639 Speaker 1: here at zero zero. I'm wondering if I explained that 550 00:28:00,119 --> 00:28:02,760 Speaker 1: jeep in the open correctly. You know, it's not that 551 00:28:02,880 --> 00:28:05,600 Speaker 1: I'm anti diagnosis. I want to make sure I state 552 00:28:05,720 --> 00:28:08,560 Speaker 1: this clearly. It's just at that particular vehicle, at that 553 00:28:08,640 --> 00:28:11,840 Speaker 1: particular moment. You know, sometimes you go with your gut. 554 00:28:12,040 --> 00:28:14,840 Speaker 1: Maybe emotion shouldn't be part of a diagnosis, but I 555 00:28:14,880 --> 00:28:17,080 Speaker 1: think it is, because I think there are moments where 556 00:28:17,080 --> 00:28:18,680 Speaker 1: you're up against it and you have to make a 557 00:28:18,760 --> 00:28:21,719 Speaker 1: gut call, and you you you know, we're not there 558 00:28:21,760 --> 00:28:23,840 Speaker 1: to test everything, right to the living daylights. We're there 559 00:28:23,880 --> 00:28:26,080 Speaker 1: to fix cars. And that's what that sort of amounts to. 560 00:28:26,320 --> 00:28:28,840 Speaker 1: And I should also point out that, um, it could 561 00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:31,200 Speaker 1: have just been a simple matter of installation error because 562 00:28:31,240 --> 00:28:33,719 Speaker 1: the over ring was pinched, and I believe that sensor 563 00:28:33,800 --> 00:28:36,600 Speaker 1: was sitting cock eyed. I don't believe it was sitting flush. 564 00:28:36,640 --> 00:28:38,680 Speaker 1: Of course, we couldn't tell because we couldn't see it 565 00:28:39,160 --> 00:28:42,040 Speaker 1: and we could barely feel it from its location. Uh 566 00:28:42,160 --> 00:28:45,240 Speaker 1: you know, but basically, had we scoped it, I do 567 00:28:45,400 --> 00:28:49,000 Speaker 1: believe what I would have seen is a bit of 568 00:28:49,320 --> 00:28:53,560 Speaker 1: a UM different or incorrect crank sensor signal. It would 569 00:28:53,560 --> 00:28:56,080 Speaker 1: have looked like an a BS wheel speed sensor lifted 570 00:28:56,160 --> 00:28:58,320 Speaker 1: up out of a rust pocket, and um it would 571 00:28:58,320 --> 00:29:00,600 Speaker 1: have been would it would not have had the amplitude 572 00:29:00,640 --> 00:29:02,959 Speaker 1: that we would have expected. So uh, you know, sometimes 573 00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: you gotta call the ball, as they say, Hey, did 574 00:29:05,200 --> 00:29:08,440 Speaker 1: um anybody read the article on clean techniqua Bosch recently 575 00:29:08,520 --> 00:29:11,800 Speaker 1: came out about the entirely the articles Bosch Warren's Order 576 00:29:11,840 --> 00:29:13,560 Speaker 1: industry about putting all its eggs in the lithium i 577 00:29:13,640 --> 00:29:16,920 Speaker 1: AM basket. Marcus Heine, head of mobility services for Bosch. 578 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,840 Speaker 1: The article on clean Techniqua dot com continues has some 579 00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:23,440 Speaker 1: strong opinions about the industry's reliance on lithium ion batteries. 580 00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:27,800 Speaker 1: Automotive News reports that he told German newspaper stood Guard 581 00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:30,520 Speaker 1: Zygon recently that the industry should look at the turmoil 582 00:29:30,600 --> 00:29:33,040 Speaker 1: Cosman Russia decided the shut off methane supplies to Europe. 583 00:29:33,320 --> 00:29:36,080 Speaker 1: The result is chaos, rowing electricity prices, people freezing in 584 00:29:36,080 --> 00:29:38,520 Speaker 1: their homes, and factories unable to produce goods because of 585 00:29:38,640 --> 00:29:41,120 Speaker 1: Energey restrictions. And you know that he goes on to 586 00:29:41,200 --> 00:29:44,920 Speaker 1: talk about that we need an alternative to electric in 587 00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,880 Speaker 1: case that we don't have enough power to produce electricity 588 00:29:48,080 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: or to make battery sells. So there's a problem already. 589 00:29:51,320 --> 00:29:54,720 Speaker 1: Um and the insanity continues. In New York State. This week, 590 00:29:54,800 --> 00:29:59,719 Speaker 1: the governor Governor Hulklell announced that by following California's UH, 591 00:30:00,160 --> 00:30:03,800 Speaker 1: they're gonna ban the sale of internal combustion engine vehicles 592 00:30:04,200 --> 00:30:06,200 Speaker 1: in the state of New York and everything's gonna go electric. 593 00:30:06,200 --> 00:30:09,000 Speaker 1: I decide I'm going to invest in extension courts, because 594 00:30:09,000 --> 00:30:11,360 Speaker 1: I think the extension court market is right for a takeover. 595 00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:13,320 Speaker 1: I figured if we have enough of them, because every 596 00:30:13,360 --> 00:30:15,080 Speaker 1: building in New York City is gonna be running an 597 00:30:15,120 --> 00:30:17,960 Speaker 1: extension court out the window. Tom, you're a New Yorker, Um, 598 00:30:18,080 --> 00:30:20,280 Speaker 1: are you ready to uh? Are you ready to convert 599 00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:24,360 Speaker 1: to e V? Well, like I told my wife yesterday 600 00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:26,680 Speaker 1: when we when you and I discussed this, that it's um, 601 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,840 Speaker 1: first of all, the governor just lost my vote, uh 602 00:30:29,960 --> 00:30:33,480 Speaker 1: second of all time to move. Um, I'm gonna be 603 00:30:33,600 --> 00:30:35,600 Speaker 1: in my mid duper seventies by the time that comes. 604 00:30:35,640 --> 00:30:37,440 Speaker 1: I won't be buying a new car then, and I'm 605 00:30:37,720 --> 00:30:41,280 Speaker 1: I'll give up my uh my gasoline engine. Uh you 606 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:43,240 Speaker 1: know when they pry it out on my cold dead hands. 607 00:30:43,960 --> 00:30:47,040 Speaker 1: I just I just don't see the practicality of it. 608 00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:49,720 Speaker 1: We're preparing. I think we're prepared, preparing for a failure 609 00:30:49,760 --> 00:30:51,880 Speaker 1: because again, and I know everybody, and I know we're 610 00:30:51,880 --> 00:30:53,120 Speaker 1: gonna get all the hate mail and you know what, 611 00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,240 Speaker 1: I don't care, um, but we're gonna get all this 612 00:30:55,320 --> 00:30:57,040 Speaker 1: hate mail that tells us, Well, you're not prepared for 613 00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: the future, kiddo, You're not looking at this realistically. We're 614 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,800 Speaker 1: will the electricity come from? Where will the lithium ion 615 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:06,240 Speaker 1: batteries come from? It doesn't make any sense. And the 616 00:31:06,360 --> 00:31:09,200 Speaker 1: thing that amazes me is for all the people that 617 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,680 Speaker 1: are out there, some people are just reporting the news. 618 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:14,720 Speaker 1: Nobody's questioning the news. And that's our right. It's our 619 00:31:14,840 --> 00:31:17,200 Speaker 1: right to question what's going on because what's going on 620 00:31:17,480 --> 00:31:19,960 Speaker 1: isn't correct and it isn't really good for all of 621 00:31:20,080 --> 00:31:22,600 Speaker 1: us overall. I think there is an EV future. I 622 00:31:22,640 --> 00:31:24,680 Speaker 1: think there should be some vehicles that are electric. I've 623 00:31:24,680 --> 00:31:27,200 Speaker 1: said this many times. But to mandate that you're gonna 624 00:31:27,240 --> 00:31:29,680 Speaker 1: take an entire state and make it all electric because 625 00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:33,280 Speaker 1: you want to show me the facts, show me why, 626 00:31:33,360 --> 00:31:35,200 Speaker 1: show me how it's gonna happen. Don't give me this. 627 00:31:36,440 --> 00:31:41,160 Speaker 1: You well, if nobody asked me, well and fair point. 628 00:31:41,440 --> 00:31:42,960 Speaker 1: I don't know if you want to ask me anyway, Tom, 629 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:44,320 Speaker 1: I have to tell my adventure at the shop. I 630 00:31:44,360 --> 00:31:45,600 Speaker 1: don't want to do it here, but I had an 631 00:31:45,600 --> 00:31:47,680 Speaker 1: adventure at the shop this week to us another so 632 00:31:47,920 --> 00:31:49,160 Speaker 1: I'll tell you what. I'll tell you that when I 633 00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:51,840 Speaker 1: come back. But um, just to finish this thought, I 634 00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:55,960 Speaker 1: think that the EV future is knocking on our doorstep. 635 00:31:56,360 --> 00:31:59,040 Speaker 1: But bosh, I've got another article here that talks about Ford. 636 00:31:59,600 --> 00:32:02,360 Speaker 1: Um that Ford is not going all electric like GM, 637 00:32:02,440 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: and they've got good reasoning for it. So you know, 638 00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:07,400 Speaker 1: you've got an awful lot of bigger industry people standing 639 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:10,080 Speaker 1: up now and saying maybe this all electric thing isn't 640 00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:13,520 Speaker 1: the way to go, and yet the politicians keep zooming ahead. Hey, 641 00:32:13,600 --> 00:32:16,120 Speaker 1: let's make it an all electric future. Yeah, sure, good 642 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:19,600 Speaker 1: idea five zero nine zero zero. You don't like what 643 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,920 Speaker 1: I'm saying, call me up, let's talk about it. So 644 00:32:22,200 --> 00:32:24,040 Speaker 1: and I'll be right here white when we get back. 645 00:32:24,080 --> 00:32:41,160 Speaker 1: Don't go away, welcome back. Why need a car doctor 646 00:32:41,200 --> 00:32:44,000 Speaker 1: at five zero nine zero? What we had? No, we 647 00:32:44,040 --> 00:32:45,560 Speaker 1: had no. We have enough calls to give away a 648 00:32:45,600 --> 00:32:47,800 Speaker 1: book this hour, Tom, so we'll give it away next 649 00:32:47,840 --> 00:32:53,000 Speaker 1: hour somewhere in the future. But we've got want. No. No, 650 00:32:53,160 --> 00:32:58,000 Speaker 1: it's it's actually you know, it's it's color coming and 651 00:32:58,120 --> 00:33:00,480 Speaker 1: you're reading the book and giving away a used book. Well, listen, 652 00:33:00,520 --> 00:33:02,600 Speaker 1: I've had a rough week. I I really did. I 653 00:33:03,240 --> 00:33:05,240 Speaker 1: so I fell asleep. You know there's danger in a 654 00:33:05,280 --> 00:33:06,719 Speaker 1: repair shop. I have to think about how to tell 655 00:33:06,760 --> 00:33:09,600 Speaker 1: this story cleanly because this is sort of a very 656 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:13,040 Speaker 1: risk a story.

They're talking about 690 00:34:38,960 --> 00:34:40,839 Speaker 1: a two thousand three Honda a court and I guess 691 00:34:40,840 --> 00:34:42,720 Speaker 1: I should end it here because it's all about research. 692 00:34:42,800 --> 00:34:45,719 Speaker 1: That's what we're talking about today, diagnostics and research. We 693 00:34:45,800 --> 00:34:47,799 Speaker 1: started off the hour talking about the eleven g Well 694 00:34:47,800 --> 00:34:50,319 Speaker 1: here's one I know three accord that the battery light 695 00:34:50,400 --> 00:34:52,480 Speaker 1: was coming on and the repair shop had gone through 696 00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,000 Speaker 1: and they've done a battery they chest, they tested the alternator, 697 00:34:55,040 --> 00:34:57,719 Speaker 1: They checked the wiring, they found nothing, and by doing 698 00:34:57,840 --> 00:35:00,960 Speaker 1: some research and talking to members of the shirt track 699 00:35:01,040 --> 00:35:03,799 Speaker 1: community over at mitchell one mitchell one dot com, they 700 00:35:03,840 --> 00:35:05,560 Speaker 1: were able to find out that there was a way 701 00:35:05,600 --> 00:35:08,759 Speaker 1: to test the electronic the the e l D, which 702 00:35:08,880 --> 00:35:12,440 Speaker 1: is the UH the e l D which would control 703 00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:16,600 Speaker 1: the electrical load detection sensor for the vehicle, which would 704 00:35:16,680 --> 00:35:19,000 Speaker 1: tell it, you know, hey, right voltage RAWNG voltage and 705 00:35:19,239 --> 00:35:20,960 Speaker 1: help ring the charging system.
