00:00:00,320 --> 00:00:02,440
Speaker 1: Ron an Alien. If you've already got a check engine

2
00:00:02,480 --> 00:00:05,480
Speaker 1: light coming on that's been clear but not resolved. The

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:08,680
Speaker 1: first question becomes what other codes are in there now?

4
00:00:09,320 --> 00:00:12,640
Speaker 1: How Leana rich? Is the fuel system money? Is it running? Bounced?

5
00:00:13,080 --> 00:00:26,200
Speaker 1: And is there a potential for something else? The Car Doctor,

6
00:00:26,360 --> 00:00:29,040
Speaker 1: if you can get the pipe down, scrub everything and

7
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:30,880
Speaker 1: clean it. If you could weld it off the vehicle,

8
00:00:30,880 --> 00:00:32,520
Speaker 1: it would be wonderful. It would be a lot better

9
00:00:32,600 --> 00:00:35,199
Speaker 1: for you. Welcome to the radio home of Ron and

Speaker 1: radio show. But that's what we do here at the

32
00:01:42,160 --> 00:01:43,959
Speaker 1: Car Doctor. We talked to you about your car problems,

33
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,240
Speaker 1: whatever you've got going on, whatever problem you need solved.

34
00:01:46,520 --> 00:01:49,520
Speaker 1: We're the problem solvers. I'm not gonna waste any time

35
00:01:49,880 --> 00:01:52,520
Speaker 1: because Tom has once again managed to fill the phone lines.

36
00:01:52,560 --> 00:01:53,880
Speaker 1: I don't know how he does if he must answer

37
00:01:53,920 --> 00:01:55,800
Speaker 1: the phone when it rings. And let's go over and

38
00:01:55,800 --> 00:01:58,120
Speaker 1: talk to Lee and Maine Oh six Toyota Camray and

39
00:01:58,160 --> 00:02:00,600
Speaker 1: some problems with hesitation. Lee. Welcome to the Hard Doctor.

40
00:02:00,680 --> 00:02:03,680
Speaker 1: How can I help you? You're very welcome. What's going on? Yes? Man? Yes?

41
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:06,640
Speaker 1: What can I do for you? Well? As I mentioned

42
00:02:06,680 --> 00:02:11,400
Speaker 1: to your man there, I told him, like my car

43
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:18,240
Speaker 1: hesitates or hiccups after it goes into gear and if

44
00:02:18,280 --> 00:02:22,960
Speaker 1: I come to a Staunt sign and I pressed on

45
00:02:23,040 --> 00:02:32,760
Speaker 1: the gas, it's slow speed, so it can speed. You know,

46
00:02:32,840 --> 00:02:35,160
Speaker 1: it's like it doesn't have the cup that it used

47
00:02:35,160 --> 00:02:38,079
Speaker 1: to have. Exactly does it does? It doesn't feel like

48
00:02:38,160 --> 00:02:40,440
Speaker 1: all the time though, that's the thing. Does it feel

49
00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:42,640
Speaker 1: like it's shaking at all? Or like it's not snow

50
00:02:42,680 --> 00:02:45,560
Speaker 1: shaking shaking? Is it? Is it not smooth when it

51
00:02:45,639 --> 00:02:51,000
Speaker 1: lacks power? No, it's smooth. It was, and you know,

52
00:02:51,320 --> 00:02:53,840
Speaker 1: could it be a sensor? You think it could be

53
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:55,440
Speaker 1: a lot of things. But let's let me let me

54
00:02:55,480 --> 00:02:57,560
Speaker 1: ask you this question. You know, let me ask you

55
00:02:57,639 --> 00:03:00,880
Speaker 1: this question. Um. Is it reproducible and you're recreated on

56
00:03:00,919 --> 00:03:03,000
Speaker 1: a regular basis or is it just very random and

57
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:07,639
Speaker 1: intermittent random? Okay? How many miles were on the car?

58
00:03:08,919 --> 00:03:13,200
Speaker 1: H Like, I don't know. I saw lady honed it

59
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:16,320
Speaker 1: and uh, I think it's has five thousand it's that

60
00:03:17,639 --> 00:03:23,359
Speaker 1: how many miles? I mean? I'm sorry, I shoot, it

61
00:03:24,240 --> 00:03:29,239
Speaker 1: has five thousand or forty five thousand? You're very welcome here.

62
00:03:29,320 --> 00:03:31,000
Speaker 1: That that's okay, it's you know, it's just you and me.

63
00:03:31,120 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: Nobody's listening. Um, so so forty five thousand miles. You know,

64
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:37,920
Speaker 1: has it? Have you owned the car long? Has it

65
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:43,120
Speaker 1: done it since about three going on four years? Okay? Um?

66
00:03:43,240 --> 00:03:44,560
Speaker 1: What sort of maintenance have you done to it in

67
00:03:44,600 --> 00:03:47,280
Speaker 1: the past? Do it? I keep it up? So you've

68
00:03:47,280 --> 00:03:52,920
Speaker 1: done the oil changes absolutely, air filter absolutely? Okay? Um.

69
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,360
Speaker 1: Anybody look at this trying to diagnose it. No. I

70
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,760
Speaker 1: thought i'd call you firstly, I know what's going on,

71
00:03:59,840 --> 00:04:03,400
Speaker 1: and they won't take me. Yeah. Well, first, I mean, listen,

72
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:06,320
Speaker 1: I get it, man, That's why I'm here. Um. You know,

73
00:04:06,440 --> 00:04:08,200
Speaker 1: the first thing, you've been on right on the money.

74
00:04:08,200 --> 00:04:10,280
Speaker 1: Every time I've called you a couple of times, you've

75
00:04:10,280 --> 00:04:12,080
Speaker 1: been right on the money. I guess, well, I'm trying

76
00:04:12,080 --> 00:04:13,800
Speaker 1: to win the lottery. That's my next thing. I got.

77
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,880
Speaker 1: I got three of I got three of the six numbers.

78
00:04:16,200 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: I know the next lottery. It's gonna be two thirty

79
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: seven and nineteen. I just can't seem I can't seem

80
00:04:21,839 --> 00:04:23,880
Speaker 1: to fill in the other three. And I can't seem

81
00:04:23,920 --> 00:04:25,880
Speaker 1: to fill in what date. That's the missing part of

82
00:04:25,880 --> 00:04:28,600
Speaker 1: the equation. So I know, sooner or later I'm gonna

83
00:04:28,600 --> 00:04:32,760
Speaker 1: be right. Um. So you know, any diagnosis we gotta

84
00:04:32,800 --> 00:04:35,760
Speaker 1: begin at the beginning. And even though there's no check

85
00:04:35,800 --> 00:04:39,200
Speaker 1: engine light on, I'd still do a code scan. You know,

86
00:04:39,279 --> 00:04:42,039
Speaker 1: what's there, what's pending, what's about to happen. And that's

87
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:47,400
Speaker 1: part of what the wonder of onboard diagnostis. That's number one.

88
00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:50,039
Speaker 1: I want to do a code scan. Number number two,

89
00:04:50,080 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: all the scan tools plugged in. I you know, it's

90
00:04:53,480 --> 00:04:55,400
Speaker 1: like somebody goes to the doctor and says, Doc, my

91
00:04:55,440 --> 00:04:57,520
Speaker 1: heart speeds up and slows down. What's the first thing

92
00:04:57,520 --> 00:04:59,800
Speaker 1: he does. He straps a device on you and he's

93
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:02,760
Speaker 1: still it's to record information while the scan tool is

94
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,240
Speaker 1: plugged in. I want to take the car out for

95
00:05:04,279 --> 00:05:07,400
Speaker 1: a rod. If I can get it to skip a beat,

96
00:05:08,120 --> 00:05:10,520
Speaker 1: I'll see something. Maybe I'll see something on the scan tool.

97
00:05:10,600 --> 00:05:14,279
Speaker 1: Maybe I'll see a misfire, Maybe i'll see fuel trim change.

98
00:05:14,320 --> 00:05:17,279
Speaker 1: Maybe i'll see a sensor drop out. You know, there's

99
00:05:17,320 --> 00:05:20,840
Speaker 1: there's there's all sorts of things that could be um.

100
00:05:20,920 --> 00:05:25,160
Speaker 1: You know, the wonder of diagnostics is and and sometimes

101
00:05:25,160 --> 00:05:26,400
Speaker 1: you have to think of it like this. I was

102
00:05:26,400 --> 00:05:28,480
Speaker 1: watching Dr Phil the other day and he was talking

103
00:05:28,480 --> 00:05:31,719
Speaker 1: about diagnosing somebody's mental state, and I liked his approach

104
00:05:31,720 --> 00:05:34,800
Speaker 1: he kind of does what I do um differential diagnosis.

105
00:05:34,800 --> 00:05:36,960
Speaker 1: He's looking for the difference of good versus bad. So

106
00:05:37,080 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: sometimes knowing what's good tells you what's bad, and and

107
00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:43,320
Speaker 1: you know, that's how you've got to approach something like this.

108
00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,560
Speaker 1: I would take the air filter out, make sure there's

109
00:05:45,560 --> 00:05:47,960
Speaker 1: no animals, have built the nest inside the air box,

110
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:50,120
Speaker 1: make sure the air filter looks like it's in good condition,

111
00:05:50,600 --> 00:05:53,240
Speaker 1: make sure no debris. I had a car two weeks

112
00:05:53,279 --> 00:05:55,880
Speaker 1: ago that I mean, the customer argued with me that

113
00:05:55,920 --> 00:05:58,000
Speaker 1: it couldn't be an air filter, and I finally said, look,

114
00:05:58,400 --> 00:06:00,480
Speaker 1: I've looked at everything else, I'm hole in the air

115
00:06:00,520 --> 00:06:02,320
Speaker 1: filter out, and you know, it just became a long,

116
00:06:02,360 --> 00:06:05,599
Speaker 1: convoluted story. I pulled the air filter out on the

117
00:06:05,640 --> 00:06:07,680
Speaker 1: basis that, you know, there wasn't much else left to

118
00:06:07,720 --> 00:06:08,800
Speaker 1: look at, and it was a little bit of a

119
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:10,880
Speaker 1: chore to get to and once you know what, the

120
00:06:10,920 --> 00:06:13,560
Speaker 1: air filter had completely collapsed and it was blood. I

121
00:06:13,560 --> 00:06:15,760
Speaker 1: never saw an air filter that bed. I really can

122
00:06:15,800 --> 00:06:17,640
Speaker 1: say it was one of the top three in my

123
00:06:17,720 --> 00:06:21,120
Speaker 1: forty three year career. It was that badly plugged and restricted,

124
00:06:21,360 --> 00:06:23,320
Speaker 1: but an air filter in it cleaned out the box

125
00:06:23,360 --> 00:06:27,320
Speaker 1: cleaned off the mass airflow sensor and the car was fixed. So,

126
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:29,080
Speaker 1: you know, you want to look at some of the

127
00:06:29,200 --> 00:06:34,200
Speaker 1: simple basic things first most important. Can it be duplicated?

128
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:38,520
Speaker 1: If it If it can be duplicated, any repair shop

129
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:42,760
Speaker 1: that's worth their weight, within an hour to two hours

130
00:06:42,760 --> 00:06:45,560
Speaker 1: of shop time should be able to if they can

131
00:06:45,600 --> 00:06:49,520
Speaker 1: replicate the problem, give you a reasonable direction or a

132
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,120
Speaker 1: direct solution as to what's wrong with that vehicle? All right,

133
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:55,039
Speaker 1: it shouldn't be that they got to the end of

134
00:06:55,080 --> 00:06:57,360
Speaker 1: the of the time, whatever they feel comfortable with. And

135
00:06:57,440 --> 00:06:59,560
Speaker 1: some shops do it in an hour. Some shops take

136
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:02,040
Speaker 1: a little bit longer. Um, you know, if they can

137
00:07:02,120 --> 00:07:05,799
Speaker 1: duplicate the problem, it shouldn't be heye, we duplicated the problem.

138
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:09,760
Speaker 1: What's wrong with it? Well? I think, you know, I

139
00:07:09,800 --> 00:07:12,160
Speaker 1: think it's not a diagnosis. I think is an opinion,

140
00:07:12,840 --> 00:07:15,520
Speaker 1: all right, I think as a thought. You know, a

141
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:18,440
Speaker 1: diagnosis is Lee, I looked at your car. It's misfiring

142
00:07:18,440 --> 00:07:20,560
Speaker 1: on two cylinders. It's got a bed coil on one

143
00:07:20,560 --> 00:07:23,240
Speaker 1: and a bed spark plug on three. We're gonna change

144
00:07:23,240 --> 00:07:25,360
Speaker 1: all the coils. We're gonna change all the plugs. That's

145
00:07:25,480 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 1: that's a diagnosis. That's being that's being affirmative. So you

146
00:07:28,960 --> 00:07:32,640
Speaker 1: know how mechanics handle, how they say it, their body language,

147
00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:34,960
Speaker 1: how they talk, you know, all that's part of a

148
00:07:35,000 --> 00:07:38,520
Speaker 1: good diagnosis and good communication skills. Um, we're all human.

149
00:07:38,560 --> 00:07:40,680
Speaker 1: We all tend to you know, we have our updates

150
00:07:40,680 --> 00:07:44,160
Speaker 1: and down days. But you know that's a diagnosis. You know.

151
00:07:44,360 --> 00:07:47,840
Speaker 1: What I will say is not uncommon on cameras. V

152
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:50,880
Speaker 1: six is of this generation. They start to go through

153
00:07:50,920 --> 00:07:55,480
Speaker 1: ignition coils, all right, they will actually fail the coils,

154
00:07:55,840 --> 00:07:58,880
Speaker 1: and sometimes the coil being reported or the misfire being

155
00:07:58,920 --> 00:08:01,600
Speaker 1: reported on the particular cylinder, isn't that when it's the

156
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:04,920
Speaker 1: one next to it? And sometimes it can be a

157
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:08,240
Speaker 1: little difficult to find. We we use something in the

158
00:08:08,280 --> 00:08:10,280
Speaker 1: scan tool and you can ask your mechanic if he

159
00:08:10,280 --> 00:08:14,400
Speaker 1: knows about this called Mode six m d E six.

160
00:08:14,480 --> 00:08:17,760
Speaker 1: Mode six. Mode six is the language section of a

161
00:08:17,800 --> 00:08:21,280
Speaker 1: scan tool of when the car is getting sick. That's

162
00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:23,560
Speaker 1: where it's first hiccups are recorded. If I can say

163
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,640
Speaker 1: it like that, It is the language that a vehicle

164
00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:30,800
Speaker 1: computer uses to make a decision as to when and

165
00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:34,160
Speaker 1: how often, or how much or how sick that vehicle

166
00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:36,920
Speaker 1: is to turn on the check engine light. All right,

167
00:08:37,520 --> 00:08:40,480
Speaker 1: so let's get a diagnosis. Let's let's start to look

168
00:08:40,520 --> 00:08:42,960
Speaker 1: for let's prove what's good so we know what's bad.

169
00:08:43,040 --> 00:08:46,040
Speaker 1: Let's cover the basics. If there's an easy way to

170
00:08:46,080 --> 00:08:48,080
Speaker 1: test fuel pressure, so I can have a fuel pressure

171
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:52,400
Speaker 1: gage on this car wall, it's hiccup ng absolutely, you

172
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:55,440
Speaker 1: know again, look at the fuel pressure. Ye look at

173
00:08:55,480 --> 00:08:58,120
Speaker 1: fuel pressure. Look at ignition. We want to look at it.

174
00:08:58,200 --> 00:08:59,920
Speaker 1: We want to look at a with a scan tool.

175
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,559
Speaker 1: We want to take a look that we've seen him

176
00:09:01,559 --> 00:09:04,559
Speaker 1: as fires being reported, whatever air filters look like. I

177
00:09:04,880 --> 00:09:06,440
Speaker 1: don't want to have somebody come back and tell me

178
00:09:06,480 --> 00:09:08,800
Speaker 1: it needs a timing belt. That's why it's hesitating. If

179
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:11,079
Speaker 1: they if they come back and say, hey, it needs

180
00:09:11,120 --> 00:09:13,080
Speaker 1: a timing belt, proved to me why it needs a

181
00:09:13,080 --> 00:09:16,720
Speaker 1: timing belt? All right, you know, explain it to me,

182
00:09:17,040 --> 00:09:19,400
Speaker 1: tell me why. I remember years ago I had a

183
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:21,640
Speaker 1: call from someone and you know, I forget how long

184
00:09:21,679 --> 00:09:23,640
Speaker 1: has I've been on the air so long now, um,

185
00:09:23,760 --> 00:09:26,240
Speaker 1: but that's someone cooled up and they said the car

186
00:09:26,320 --> 00:09:28,680
Speaker 1: was hesitating, and they were told by the mechanic that

187
00:09:28,760 --> 00:09:32,559
Speaker 1: the brakes were dragging, and that's what was causing the problem,

188
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:36,520
Speaker 1: and well, it's possible. But my answer was, well, how

189
00:09:36,520 --> 00:09:38,800
Speaker 1: long does the hesitation happen for? And they said, after

190
00:09:38,840 --> 00:09:41,440
Speaker 1: I'm driving for about twenty minutes, and then it just

191
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:44,080
Speaker 1: continues for an hour. And I said, well, if the

192
00:09:44,120 --> 00:09:47,400
Speaker 1: brakes were dragging for an hour, why aren't the brakes smoking?

193
00:09:48,800 --> 00:09:51,600
Speaker 1: And you know, why doesn't the car have a break

194
00:09:51,679 --> 00:09:54,360
Speaker 1: issue as well? You can't ride the brake for an

195
00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,120
Speaker 1: hour or so to speak, and and and not have

196
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:58,080
Speaker 1: a bigger problem. And they said, yeah, you know, you're right.

197
00:09:58,080 --> 00:09:59,400
Speaker 1: I never thought of it like that. They went back

198
00:09:59,440 --> 00:10:01,440
Speaker 1: talk to them, chanic, found that they didn't know what

199
00:10:01,480 --> 00:10:03,120
Speaker 1: they were talking about, went to another one, and they

200
00:10:03,160 --> 00:10:05,120
Speaker 1: got the problem solved. It turned out to be something

201
00:10:05,160 --> 00:10:07,559
Speaker 1: totally unrelated. I believe it was a bad a fuel

202
00:10:07,600 --> 00:10:11,200
Speaker 1: filter that was completely restricted. Again, back to basics. So

203
00:10:11,480 --> 00:10:17,160
Speaker 1: let's cover the basicsly, let's start there. Okay, I'd like

204
00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 1: to know what, if, if, if there's an easy way

205
00:10:19,200 --> 00:10:21,840
Speaker 1: to tap into fuel pressure. Listen, I'm lazy, all right,

206
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:23,040
Speaker 1: I want to I want to I want to go

207
00:10:23,080 --> 00:10:25,960
Speaker 1: with the easy stuff first, you know, I want to

208
00:10:25,960 --> 00:10:27,480
Speaker 1: see I want to scan it. I want to look

209
00:10:27,520 --> 00:10:30,360
Speaker 1: at air filter I want to look at cleanliness of

210
00:10:30,480 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: the mass airflow. If I can get a fuel pressure

211
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:36,000
Speaker 1: gauge on it, you know, again, the mechanic working on it,

212
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:39,600
Speaker 1: if he's truly diagnosing it, will will It's it's a

213
00:10:39,640 --> 00:10:41,560
Speaker 1: fuel thing, it's a sense of it. I had an

214
00:10:41,600 --> 00:10:44,839
Speaker 1: eighty eight Lincoln town car this week that I drove it,

215
00:10:45,040 --> 00:10:48,960
Speaker 1: and it just it just ran terrible. I had no power.

216
00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:53,200
Speaker 1: I said this, this, this it's late. Timing is late um,

217
00:10:53,360 --> 00:10:55,000
Speaker 1: To tell you the truth, it was such a problem

218
00:10:55,000 --> 00:10:57,240
Speaker 1: in such a rigmarole to set timing. The harmonic the

219
00:10:57,240 --> 00:11:00,079
Speaker 1: balancer where the timing marks were were so badly that

220
00:11:00,200 --> 00:11:03,240
Speaker 1: I couldn't see anything. Yeah, I loosened to the distributor.

221
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:04,599
Speaker 1: I gave it a tap to the left, one for

222
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:06,480
Speaker 1: a ride. That's pretty good. Given another tap to the

223
00:11:06,559 --> 00:11:08,760
Speaker 1: left one for a ride. Three taps and three rides

224
00:11:08,760 --> 00:11:11,319
Speaker 1: to the left. The car ran like a top, didn't ping.

225
00:11:11,440 --> 00:11:14,040
Speaker 1: Didn't that they had no other bed symptoms. Everything drove

226
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:15,679
Speaker 1: great and gave the car back. There was no other

227
00:11:15,679 --> 00:11:18,400
Speaker 1: way to set timing. The marks are gone. And sometimes

228
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:21,160
Speaker 1: it is a seat of the pants diagnosis. And that's

229
00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:25,240
Speaker 1: my point. But it just let's start with basics first,

230
00:11:25,520 --> 00:11:29,320
Speaker 1: but make sure you've got a diagnostician, not a parts changer. Okay,

231
00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,560
Speaker 1: I know there's three three filters in the car. There's

232
00:11:32,640 --> 00:11:36,560
Speaker 1: one in the back seat underneath the back seat, that's

233
00:11:36,600 --> 00:11:40,640
Speaker 1: the gas filter underneath there, okay. And then there's one

234
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:46,920
Speaker 1: in the in the glove compartment that's the cabin. It

235
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:49,920
Speaker 1: was pretty pretty dirty. And then the one in the

236
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,439
Speaker 1: engine right and if well, and if the cabin filter

237
00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:55,720
Speaker 1: is that dirty, always remember if a cabin filters that dirty,

238
00:11:55,720 --> 00:11:57,760
Speaker 1: how dirty is the air filter. It's breathing the same air.

239
00:11:59,040 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 1: So you know, these a real good basic things to

240
00:12:01,320 --> 00:12:04,880
Speaker 1: look at, you know, so always start listen. Sometimes starting

241
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:09,319
Speaker 1: with maintenance helps shorten the distance to the diagnosis. And

242
00:12:09,360 --> 00:12:12,920
Speaker 1: at the very least you're getting maintenance done as well. Okay,

243
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:15,440
Speaker 1: so we'll start there, we'll talk some more. You're very welcome.

244
00:12:15,480 --> 00:12:17,920
Speaker 1: You take good care of eight five five zero nine

245
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: zero zero. The car acters coming back right after this

246
00:12:25,559 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 1: when you get keep Ron's number hand eight five five

247
00:12:37,440 --> 00:12:40,200
Speaker 1: five six zero nine nine zero zero for when you

248
00:12:40,280 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: really need advice on your car. Here's Rob. Let's get

249
00:12:43,880 --> 00:12:46,680
Speaker 1: over and talk to Gary in Westchester, New York. Oh four,

250
00:12:46,720 --> 00:12:49,560
Speaker 1: I'm sorry, Oh four old Zalero and a couple of

251
00:12:49,559 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 1: different things going on here. Gary, Welcome to the car doctor, sir.

252
00:12:51,880 --> 00:12:54,760
Speaker 1: How can I help? All right? Ron for problem? My god?

253
00:12:54,800 --> 00:12:58,160
Speaker 1: We have the engine when the weather is hot, not

254
00:12:58,280 --> 00:13:01,600
Speaker 1: when the weather is high. And you start the car up,

255
00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:04,440
Speaker 1: it read sometimes for like five thousand. I mean, it

256
00:13:04,440 --> 00:13:07,880
Speaker 1: sounds like a Plaine's about to take off. And so

257
00:13:07,920 --> 00:13:10,680
Speaker 1: what I figured out just in little research, I don't

258
00:13:10,679 --> 00:13:11,959
Speaker 1: shut it all the way off. I put it down

259
00:13:11,960 --> 00:13:15,199
Speaker 1: to a de accessory. Wait a few seconds, started back up.

260
00:13:15,679 --> 00:13:18,680
Speaker 1: Most times it reset itself, you know, maybe six seven

261
00:13:19,440 --> 00:13:23,320
Speaker 1: on ems, and then it's nice and smooth, quiet, runs great.

262
00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:25,520
Speaker 1: It's just like I said in the hot does't happen

263
00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,720
Speaker 1: at all the rest of the year. Okay, Um, when

264
00:13:28,760 --> 00:13:31,360
Speaker 1: this happens, well, let's let me tell you. Let me

265
00:13:31,360 --> 00:13:32,520
Speaker 1: tell the way I go about it. If I can

266
00:13:32,600 --> 00:13:35,680
Speaker 1: duplicate this. The first thing i'd want to see when

267
00:13:35,800 --> 00:13:37,920
Speaker 1: when this is going on, I'd like to have a

268
00:13:37,960 --> 00:13:39,640
Speaker 1: scantal looked up to it, and I'd like to look

269
00:13:39,679 --> 00:13:43,640
Speaker 1: at something called idle air controller i AC counts um.

270
00:13:43,720 --> 00:13:45,120
Speaker 1: Look at the front look at the front door to

271
00:13:45,160 --> 00:13:48,520
Speaker 1: your house. All right, Gary, if the door was closed,

272
00:13:48,640 --> 00:13:51,720
Speaker 1: that's zero. If the door is open all the way,

273
00:13:51,960 --> 00:13:55,520
Speaker 1: that's a hundred and eighty all right. When a computer

274
00:13:56,640 --> 00:13:59,840
Speaker 1: runs a car at idle, it has to electronically open

275
00:14:00,120 --> 00:14:03,440
Speaker 1: or close something called an idle air control motor, or

276
00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,600
Speaker 1: like the front door of the house. If it cracks

277
00:14:05,640 --> 00:14:08,120
Speaker 1: the door just off of zero to put a step

278
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,920
Speaker 1: one or two, it's putting a little air into the house, right,

279
00:14:11,840 --> 00:14:14,400
Speaker 1: same thing with a with a vehicle with with an engine.

280
00:14:14,800 --> 00:14:17,920
Speaker 1: It's it's it's the front door is closed, all right,

281
00:14:18,080 --> 00:14:21,960
Speaker 1: that's zero. Then it's not going to run. There's no airflow,

282
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:25,280
Speaker 1: right would you agree with that? So if I were

283
00:14:25,360 --> 00:14:28,160
Speaker 1: to look at idle air counts and I saw zero

284
00:14:28,200 --> 00:14:31,800
Speaker 1: and the rpm is at five thousand rpm, what's that

285
00:14:31,880 --> 00:14:36,320
Speaker 1: telling you? It's getting It's it's getting air from somewhere? Right?

286
00:14:36,880 --> 00:14:40,000
Speaker 1: So do I have some form of an intermittent vacuum

287
00:14:40,040 --> 00:14:43,440
Speaker 1: leak or some form of an air source elsewhere other

288
00:14:43,480 --> 00:14:47,120
Speaker 1: than the idle air control? So you know, again, I'd

289
00:14:47,120 --> 00:14:48,760
Speaker 1: like to have a scandal looked up. Where's the i

290
00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:52,760
Speaker 1: AC counts? I have also seen sticking throttle plates. How

291
00:14:52,760 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 1: does the throttle feel when you accelerate away from a

292
00:14:54,800 --> 00:14:57,520
Speaker 1: stop sign. Does it feel like it's a extra, like

293
00:14:57,640 --> 00:15:00,320
Speaker 1: is an extra work to get it to No, it

294
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: takes one that's running greater, a good, good acceleration of response.

295
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:07,720
Speaker 1: The throttle doesn't stick at all. Okay, alright, because I

296
00:15:07,760 --> 00:15:11,360
Speaker 1: have seen dirty throttle plates stick a lot of carbon

297
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:15,160
Speaker 1: build up that will create different idle issues and and

298
00:15:15,160 --> 00:15:19,000
Speaker 1: and different idol countissues and things like that. So we

299
00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:21,400
Speaker 1: sort of need to know the answer to that. The

300
00:15:21,440 --> 00:15:23,440
Speaker 1: other thing you can do when you've got the scan

301
00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 1: tool it up is before you start the car, if

302
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:28,960
Speaker 1: you think it's gonna do it, you know, turn the

303
00:15:29,040 --> 00:15:32,000
Speaker 1: key on, don't start it, go in and look, go

304
00:15:32,040 --> 00:15:33,920
Speaker 1: in on a scan tool and look at cool and

305
00:15:34,040 --> 00:15:38,240
Speaker 1: temp and ambient or intake air temp. If the car

306
00:15:38,320 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: has to be sitting longer than four hours, so maybe

307
00:15:41,040 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 1: this is a you know, after it's sat all night

308
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:47,360
Speaker 1: type of a thing. Usually in the morning it wouldn't happen.

309
00:15:47,360 --> 00:15:49,280
Speaker 1: It would happen. Let's say we take the call out somewhere,

310
00:15:49,640 --> 00:15:51,280
Speaker 1: leave in the parking lot for a while. It's like,

311
00:15:51,320 --> 00:15:53,360
Speaker 1: you know, like it's been this week quite warm. You

312
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:56,440
Speaker 1: going in almost inevitably it's gonna rev like crazy. How

313
00:15:56,480 --> 00:16:00,280
Speaker 1: long is the carbon sitting two hours four hours, yeah,

314
00:16:00,600 --> 00:16:03,080
Speaker 1: maybe two or three hours, Okay, So after it's sitting

315
00:16:03,120 --> 00:16:05,680
Speaker 1: for three hours, m I'd like to see what cool

316
00:16:05,720 --> 00:16:09,200
Speaker 1: and temp is in relation to ambient air temp. Typically

317
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:12,560
Speaker 1: they should be within fifteen to twenty degrees of each other.

318
00:16:13,200 --> 00:16:15,880
Speaker 1: If there's a major difference, I want to look at

319
00:16:15,920 --> 00:16:18,000
Speaker 1: that and make sure I don't have a temperature sensor

320
00:16:18,080 --> 00:16:22,280
Speaker 1: issue skewing the IDOL control because I had maybe a

321
00:16:22,360 --> 00:16:24,600
Speaker 1: year or so ago, I had them clean the man

322
00:16:24,720 --> 00:16:27,920
Speaker 1: sair and the I A C with some kind of

323
00:16:27,920 --> 00:16:29,840
Speaker 1: gunk and clean the whole thing out. Was id link

324
00:16:29,880 --> 00:16:31,880
Speaker 1: better for a while, and then all of a sudden,

325
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:33,680
Speaker 1: the militia it has been sit damn hound over the summer.

326
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,240
Speaker 1: We've had the issue a couple of times well. And

327
00:16:35,280 --> 00:16:37,920
Speaker 1: then the other issue I've seen is that you know,

328
00:16:37,960 --> 00:16:39,960
Speaker 1: just because they clean the i ACT doesn't mean that

329
00:16:40,040 --> 00:16:43,520
Speaker 1: it's good again. You know, I've had i AX that

330
00:16:43,720 --> 00:16:47,520
Speaker 1: stick and they'll stick open all right, and they'll do

331
00:16:47,600 --> 00:16:50,400
Speaker 1: exactly what you're describing. That's why it's so important to

332
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 1: know that idle air control, that i account is really important, alright,

333
00:16:55,320 --> 00:16:58,720
Speaker 1: But why only in the extreme heat? You know, ninety degrees.

334
00:16:58,800 --> 00:17:03,680
Speaker 1: Let's say you ever see something expand when it gets warm, Uh,

335
00:17:03,720 --> 00:17:05,919
Speaker 1: it could be that maybe the IAC motor doesn't have

336
00:17:06,200 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: all the IAC motor. You ever play with a slot

337
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,959
Speaker 1: car as a kid, all right? You ever look at

338
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,439
Speaker 1: the fragility of those electric motors and the armatures and

339
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,760
Speaker 1: the brushes, and and sometimes they get so hot the

340
00:17:15,760 --> 00:17:18,200
Speaker 1: wheels wouldn't turn, and the brush wouldn't spin in the housing,

341
00:17:18,320 --> 00:17:21,639
Speaker 1: or just you know, yeah, you know, it's we're dealing

342
00:17:21,640 --> 00:17:26,240
Speaker 1: with very small, tight tolerances, and heat just affects everything.

343
00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:27,960
Speaker 1: And I'm not saying it is, but you've got to

344
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:29,800
Speaker 1: be open minded to it. I know you are, but

345
00:17:29,960 --> 00:17:34,280
Speaker 1: just you know, there's there's there's a there's a strong

346
00:17:34,400 --> 00:17:38,000
Speaker 1: likelihood here that the heat is affecting some component or

347
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:43,000
Speaker 1: componentry or maybe the computer is losing its mind. Yeah,

348
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:47,639
Speaker 1: that's the effect the computer. Anything's possible, but you know,

349
00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,879
Speaker 1: I don't want to jump around, all right, you know,

350
00:17:50,960 --> 00:17:53,359
Speaker 1: let's let's let's figure out what's good. If if you

351
00:17:53,480 --> 00:17:55,200
Speaker 1: came back to me and said, hey, ron Idle air

352
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:58,520
Speaker 1: control accounts were twelve and the RPM was stuck at

353
00:17:58,520 --> 00:18:01,879
Speaker 1: five thousand rpm, which would kind of be impossible, but

354
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,199
Speaker 1: you get my point. I go, it's not an idolair

355
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,240
Speaker 1: control motor or it's reporting twelve, but it really isn't

356
00:18:08,840 --> 00:18:11,920
Speaker 1: all right. So let's do some basic diagnosis as far

357
00:18:11,960 --> 00:18:13,760
Speaker 1: as the fast idle problem, and then we can talk

358
00:18:13,800 --> 00:18:16,000
Speaker 1: about the rest of it from there. Stay on the phone, Gary,

359
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:17,639
Speaker 1: I know you've got a second part to your question.

360
00:18:17,920 --> 00:18:20,000
Speaker 1: When we come back, we'll deal with that. I'm on

361
00:18:20,080 --> 00:18:23,520
Speaker 1: anating in the card oct eight five five zero zero.

362
00:18:23,800 --> 00:18:51,040
Speaker 1: Don't go away, we'll return a welcome back on an

363
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:52,480
Speaker 1: ending of the card. Doctor. Let's go over and talk

364
00:18:52,520 --> 00:18:55,159
Speaker 1: to Gary Westchester. Finish up our conversation. Gary, I think

365
00:18:55,160 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: the second part to your question is about the blower motor. Yes, sir,

366
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:02,240
Speaker 1: at the revving. What I've noticed is when I if

367
00:19:02,240 --> 00:19:04,960
Speaker 1: it happens and I shut it down, I put it

368
00:19:05,000 --> 00:19:08,280
Speaker 1: maybe to the accessory setting, wait a few seconds, and

369
00:19:08,280 --> 00:19:10,920
Speaker 1: then start the car up, and it seems almost like reboot.

370
00:19:10,960 --> 00:19:13,080
Speaker 1: And it seems, you know, did the PMS dropped weight down?

371
00:19:13,080 --> 00:19:15,000
Speaker 1: You know, maybe six? What if you take the key

372
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:16,480
Speaker 1: out and put it in your pocket doesn't do the

373
00:19:16,480 --> 00:19:20,399
Speaker 1: same thing. I shut it off completely, but if I

374
00:19:20,400 --> 00:19:22,400
Speaker 1: would start it back up, I think it just continues

375
00:19:22,440 --> 00:19:24,119
Speaker 1: to rev because they do that a couple of times.

376
00:19:24,359 --> 00:19:25,919
Speaker 1: And then I read somewhere that maybe if I just

377
00:19:26,400 --> 00:19:28,920
Speaker 1: let it not, accessory thing waited somehow. I don't know

378
00:19:28,960 --> 00:19:30,720
Speaker 1: if it's had something to do with the computer rebooting

379
00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:33,440
Speaker 1: or something was a just coincidence. Well turn it off.

380
00:19:33,640 --> 00:19:35,800
Speaker 1: I'm serious, Turn the car off. Stick the key in

381
00:19:35,840 --> 00:19:37,920
Speaker 1: your pocket, count the five, start the car back up?

382
00:19:38,520 --> 00:19:41,400
Speaker 1: What the what does it do? Does it does? It doesn't?

383
00:19:41,640 --> 00:19:44,200
Speaker 1: It should do the same thing. And accessory if we're

384
00:19:44,240 --> 00:19:46,760
Speaker 1: if we're if we're canceling the computer and accessory, we're

385
00:19:46,800 --> 00:19:49,080
Speaker 1: canceling it with the key in our pocket. We've just

386
00:19:49,200 --> 00:19:52,440
Speaker 1: we've just proved that. You know, it's it's just a

387
00:19:52,520 --> 00:19:55,440
Speaker 1: reboot of some kind. But then again, is it did

388
00:19:55,440 --> 00:19:58,760
Speaker 1: the engine running somehow? Free up the sticky IAK again,

389
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,919
Speaker 1: we're back to where the accounts? Where are the i

390
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:05,439
Speaker 1: AC counts. Let's not let's not assume what's diagnosed? All right,

391
00:20:05,680 --> 00:20:09,520
Speaker 1: blower motor problem? Right, the other one I wasn't working

392
00:20:09,560 --> 00:20:12,320
Speaker 1: on the first three or four speeds, So I somehow

393
00:20:12,320 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: I was able to disconnect the harness and replace the resistance. Okay,

394
00:20:15,520 --> 00:20:17,639
Speaker 1: all right, everything is great. Works a week or so

395
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,080
Speaker 1: goes out and maybe with the pot to cheap a

396
00:20:20,160 --> 00:20:22,960
Speaker 1: pot did it again, went out again. This time I

397
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,600
Speaker 1: reached down because I wasn't able to get the resisted

398
00:20:25,640 --> 00:20:28,120
Speaker 1: back into that housing. It's almost impossible to get in there.

399
00:20:28,560 --> 00:20:30,919
Speaker 1: And the thing is burning hot. That's right, because it

400
00:20:30,960 --> 00:20:32,919
Speaker 1: has to be in the housing because the air of

401
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:37,399
Speaker 1: the blower motor helps to cool it all right. So

402
00:20:37,480 --> 00:20:39,480
Speaker 1: if you don't have it all the way seated, or

403
00:20:39,480 --> 00:20:41,600
Speaker 1: if you don't have it so that there's airflow being

404
00:20:41,600 --> 00:20:44,480
Speaker 1: directed on at that electronic board is going to overheat

405
00:20:45,520 --> 00:20:48,400
Speaker 1: all right, So you know when you replace it, make

406
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:50,520
Speaker 1: sure it's inserted all the way. The only other thing

407
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:52,840
Speaker 1: that I would tell you to look for is and

408
00:20:53,000 --> 00:20:56,560
Speaker 1: be considerate of, is you know, just um make sure

409
00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,800
Speaker 1: that you have and check. Check to see what the

410
00:20:58,800 --> 00:21:01,800
Speaker 1: amperage draws off the blower motor. Look at the fuse

411
00:21:01,840 --> 00:21:04,240
Speaker 1: that controls and protects the circuit. If it's a twenty

412
00:21:04,280 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: am fuse, you'll see you'll typically see a third of

413
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:10,000
Speaker 1: that as normal blower draw you'll see somewhere in the

414
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:13,160
Speaker 1: neighborhood of seven to ten amps on the high side.

415
00:21:13,520 --> 00:21:15,879
Speaker 1: If you see twelve to fifteen ams on a twenty

416
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:19,520
Speaker 1: am circuit, that blower motors got higher resistance, and perhaps

417
00:21:19,520 --> 00:21:22,240
Speaker 1: that blower motor needs to be replaced. Um, that's what

418
00:21:22,359 --> 00:21:24,280
Speaker 1: it's leading up to as a result of why that

419
00:21:24,359 --> 00:21:27,119
Speaker 1: resistor is continually failing as well. But it's got to

420
00:21:27,160 --> 00:21:29,320
Speaker 1: be in the housing. It has to have airflow around

421
00:21:29,320 --> 00:21:31,280
Speaker 1: it in order to cool it properly or it is

422
00:21:31,280 --> 00:21:33,480
Speaker 1: going to continue to just burn out. As you say,

423
00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:35,520
Speaker 1: let's get out over and talk to John in Florida

424
00:21:35,560 --> 00:21:38,119
Speaker 1: eighty three Chevy Camaro Z eight John, Welcome to the

425
00:21:38,119 --> 00:21:41,720
Speaker 1: car doctor. How can I help? Well, I'm having a

426
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:45,000
Speaker 1: trouble with the Camaro and U two ways. Actually the

427
00:21:45,080 --> 00:21:49,359
Speaker 1: first pay is, uh, the when I come to a

428
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:55,320
Speaker 1: hard stop, it tends to stall. Uh. And uh, this

429
00:21:55,320 --> 00:21:59,800
Speaker 1: this motor is freshly, freshly rebuilt from the ground up.

430
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:03,560
Speaker 1: Everything's brand new and in the motor, I know a

431
00:22:03,600 --> 00:22:06,800
Speaker 1: lot of the parts are never ever used. But um,

432
00:22:06,840 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: you know those cars running like a champ up until

433
00:22:09,840 --> 00:22:15,120
Speaker 1: the points I come to a set stop. Yeah, and uh,

434
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,320
Speaker 1: the mechanic seems to think that it might be the

435
00:22:18,359 --> 00:22:22,800
Speaker 1: carburetor being too large. Um. I got a three fifty

436
00:22:22,880 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 1: five with a seven fifty double pumper. And um uh,

437
00:22:28,080 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: he seems to think that it would be run more

438
00:22:30,359 --> 00:22:35,920
Speaker 1: efficiently with like up five hundred carburetor. Well, listen, I

439
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: mean there's there's formulas we can go through to figure

440
00:22:38,640 --> 00:22:41,040
Speaker 1: out air flow. Do do you know what those numbers mean?

441
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:43,560
Speaker 1: The seven fifty and the five and all that? Are

442
00:22:43,560 --> 00:22:48,040
Speaker 1: you familiar with that? Honestly? I don't. Okay, that's okay, Um,

443
00:22:48,280 --> 00:22:51,480
Speaker 1: it's it's in reference to seven fifty cubic feet per minute.

444
00:22:51,520 --> 00:22:54,480
Speaker 1: It's a measurement of air flow through the carburetor based

445
00:22:54,520 --> 00:22:56,680
Speaker 1: on over a time period, how much air it will

446
00:22:56,680 --> 00:23:00,040
Speaker 1: flow over a set time. So you know we'll it

447
00:23:00,119 --> 00:23:03,159
Speaker 1: affected at idol, not necessarily, it depends on how the

448
00:23:03,200 --> 00:23:05,879
Speaker 1: idle circuits are set up. Is this a Holly or

449
00:23:05,960 --> 00:23:09,160
Speaker 1: something similar? And edel Brock a Holly look alike? Yeah,

450
00:23:09,240 --> 00:23:12,199
Speaker 1: it's it's a it's a it's a holly. Um. He

451
00:23:12,320 --> 00:23:15,240
Speaker 1: even tried it with a with an edel Rock and

452
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:18,440
Speaker 1: he said it ran much better with the edel Rock,

453
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,520
Speaker 1: But it's still like that. He said that edel Brock

454
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:23,800
Speaker 1: was also a set. He realized it was also a

455
00:23:23,800 --> 00:23:28,000
Speaker 1: seven fifties, so um, so he's thinking he's rebuilding a

456
00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:31,320
Speaker 1: smaller carp now, UH to test it out, because I

457
00:23:31,359 --> 00:23:34,760
Speaker 1: guess the pressure all the way up to the fuel

458
00:23:34,800 --> 00:23:38,560
Speaker 1: pump and regulator, which is UH in a custom box

459
00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:42,320
Speaker 1: right next to the motor, UH is six to seven

460
00:23:42,320 --> 00:23:47,920
Speaker 1: pounds of pressure. UM and UH. And then he says

461
00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:51,000
Speaker 1: the problem that he thinks is from the regulator to

462
00:23:51,160 --> 00:23:56,720
Speaker 1: the to the actual carburetor possibly a problem with regard

463
00:23:56,800 --> 00:24:01,560
Speaker 1: to what that it's losing pressure. He's thinking that that

464
00:24:01,720 --> 00:24:06,760
Speaker 1: might be the issue, or it's getting too much. Well, yeah,

465
00:24:06,800 --> 00:24:10,280
Speaker 1: I mean listen, too much. Too much pressure can also

466
00:24:10,359 --> 00:24:12,679
Speaker 1: push the needle off the seat, and and and and

467
00:24:12,720 --> 00:24:15,560
Speaker 1: do some strange things as well. And you would think

468
00:24:15,560 --> 00:24:17,520
Speaker 1: it would be causing the car to flood over and

469
00:24:17,600 --> 00:24:22,399
Speaker 1: you know, p fuel. So you know, let's back up

470
00:24:22,400 --> 00:24:26,720
Speaker 1: a second. What kind of distributors in this? It's an

471
00:24:26,800 --> 00:24:31,760
Speaker 1: MSD distributor all right, with an MSD box? Yeah, all right?

472
00:24:32,040 --> 00:24:36,320
Speaker 1: When it stalls, is it just die clean? Yeah? Completely out?

473
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,800
Speaker 1: Does it? So? Is it almost like you're turning off

474
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: the ignition pretty close to it? Yeah? Does it? Does it?

475
00:24:43,160 --> 00:24:46,760
Speaker 1: Does one spotter and it's gone? Does it restart right away?

476
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:50,480
Speaker 1: It does? Okay, just turn the key, Yeah, it's just

477
00:24:50,560 --> 00:24:54,600
Speaker 1: turn the key, maybe pump at once and then it's good. Okay, um,

478
00:24:54,640 --> 00:24:58,399
Speaker 1: can we do this? And can we you have you

479
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:03,399
Speaker 1: have a separate coil mounted on the intake manifold ignition coil.

480
00:25:03,880 --> 00:25:05,800
Speaker 1: Can we put it? Can we put a small twelve

481
00:25:05,880 --> 00:25:09,640
Speaker 1: vault bulb on that ignition coil feed so that when

482
00:25:09,760 --> 00:25:13,159
Speaker 1: so that when the engines running, the lights lit, and

483
00:25:13,200 --> 00:25:15,399
Speaker 1: the next time the car stalls, just walk out and

484
00:25:15,400 --> 00:25:17,880
Speaker 1: lift the hood. Don't touch the key, don't do anything,

485
00:25:18,280 --> 00:25:20,480
Speaker 1: just walk out and lift the hood. Is the light lit?

486
00:25:21,680 --> 00:25:24,440
Speaker 1: All right? If the lights lit, then at least we

487
00:25:24,520 --> 00:25:27,080
Speaker 1: got feed to the coil. All right. We've tested the circuit.

488
00:25:27,119 --> 00:25:29,199
Speaker 1: Guess what. We know the ignitions which is good. We

489
00:25:29,240 --> 00:25:31,000
Speaker 1: know the wiring harness is good. We know up to

490
00:25:31,040 --> 00:25:33,879
Speaker 1: that point of the coil, we're good. If the lights

491
00:25:33,920 --> 00:25:36,399
Speaker 1: not lit and you cycle the key and all of

492
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:38,440
Speaker 1: a sudden the bulb is lit and the car starts,

493
00:25:39,640 --> 00:25:43,080
Speaker 1: I guess what. It's not carburetor, it's fuel, or it's

494
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:45,640
Speaker 1: it's it's it's ignition, or it's it's wiring. It's it's

495
00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:47,439
Speaker 1: something along those lines. And I'm not saying it is

496
00:25:47,440 --> 00:25:49,240
Speaker 1: I'm not saying the mechanics wrong. By any stretch of

497
00:25:49,240 --> 00:25:52,400
Speaker 1: the imagination. I just want to think somewhere else outside

498
00:25:52,440 --> 00:25:55,719
Speaker 1: the box, all right, will it? Will it ever? Stall

499
00:25:56,480 --> 00:26:00,680
Speaker 1: just sitting there idling? No? Never, okay? Um? And he's

500
00:26:01,080 --> 00:26:03,919
Speaker 1: any sort of idol up solinoid on this for air conditioning.

501
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:09,400
Speaker 1: I honestly haven't even tried to run the air conditioning. Uh.

502
00:26:09,480 --> 00:26:11,880
Speaker 1: I got rid of the I deleted the air conditioner.

503
00:26:12,720 --> 00:26:15,760
Speaker 1: All right, I still got I still got the three

504
00:26:15,840 --> 00:26:19,280
Speaker 1: channels for you know, for a second third speed when

505
00:26:19,280 --> 00:26:21,439
Speaker 1: it comes to the heat in the case, you know,

506
00:26:21,480 --> 00:26:24,480
Speaker 1: there's where is the idol? Where is the idle speed set?

507
00:26:24,560 --> 00:26:28,320
Speaker 1: This is an automatic or stick car, Okay, so where's

508
00:26:28,359 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 1: the idle speed set? I believe it it's around thousand rpm? Alright.

509
00:26:33,160 --> 00:26:37,040
Speaker 1: Thousand rpm is too high? All right? Unless this thing

510
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:41,320
Speaker 1: has a real aggressive cam. Um, it's a mild cam. Okay.

511
00:26:41,359 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: Do you ever ever you ever run a lawnmower? Yeah?

512
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,360
Speaker 1: Do you ever play with a lawnmower? You know it's

513
00:26:46,400 --> 00:26:50,840
Speaker 1: it's set the mixture? Uh not particularly? You know, do

514
00:26:50,840 --> 00:26:52,800
Speaker 1: you ever play with the needle screw anything like that?

515
00:26:53,400 --> 00:26:55,960
Speaker 1: You know? Yeah? Right? Okay, Well, and where do you

516
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:58,840
Speaker 1: do that? You do that at idol? Right? Right, and

517
00:26:58,840 --> 00:27:01,440
Speaker 1: and on most loanmower car carburetors are actually two stage,

518
00:27:01,480 --> 00:27:03,320
Speaker 1: but for the purpose of our conversation, it's gonna be

519
00:27:03,400 --> 00:27:05,800
Speaker 1: it's gonna be uh at their single stage, we're gonna

520
00:27:05,800 --> 00:27:09,200
Speaker 1: be a single stage. Um, you're playing with the idole

521
00:27:09,280 --> 00:27:13,000
Speaker 1: mixture at idle, all right? Well, you know, if you

522
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:16,240
Speaker 1: take that off idle, you now transition and feed fuel

523
00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:21,360
Speaker 1: from a different source inside the carburetor. All right, So

524
00:27:21,800 --> 00:27:25,480
Speaker 1: if you're not set properly in the carburetor in terms

525
00:27:25,520 --> 00:27:29,720
Speaker 1: of that idle transition, you're now gonna pull fuel from

526
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:33,200
Speaker 1: the wrong place and create all sorts of issues. Thousand

527
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,000
Speaker 1: rpm is too high. If we ran that car down

528
00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:41,560
Speaker 1: around oh, I don't know SPM with the mixture set properly,

529
00:27:42,040 --> 00:27:45,120
Speaker 1: what would happen. I'm not saying it'll work, but I'm

530
00:27:45,160 --> 00:27:47,840
Speaker 1: just curious what would happen? And And the reason the

531
00:27:47,840 --> 00:27:50,400
Speaker 1: reason I can't be exact is because I really don't

532
00:27:50,400 --> 00:27:51,760
Speaker 1: know what the lift of the cam is. I don't

533
00:27:51,760 --> 00:27:54,159
Speaker 1: know what manifold vacuum is at that point, you know,

534
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:57,000
Speaker 1: But let's start to tune and play with it. Seven

535
00:27:57,119 --> 00:28:01,280
Speaker 1: fifty A seven fifty cfm carb does not seem unreasonable

536
00:28:01,320 --> 00:28:04,639
Speaker 1: to me for a small pock with some sort of

537
00:28:04,640 --> 00:28:08,920
Speaker 1: a camp all right, Um, where that carburetor is going

538
00:28:08,960 --> 00:28:11,919
Speaker 1: to affect you is maybe top end or mid range

539
00:28:11,920 --> 00:28:15,200
Speaker 1: pulls something like that making its stall. If it makes

540
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:19,159
Speaker 1: it stall, then it's more internal a problem, a particular

541
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:22,639
Speaker 1: problem with the carburetor itself. All right, you want you

542
00:28:22,680 --> 00:28:24,639
Speaker 1: want to try something, Do this real quick, and then

543
00:28:24,640 --> 00:28:26,040
Speaker 1: I gotta go. You call me back and tell me

544
00:28:26,119 --> 00:28:29,320
Speaker 1: what happens. Just get the car warmed up, get it

545
00:28:29,320 --> 00:28:32,600
Speaker 1: down to where it idols m nice and warm, steady,

546
00:28:32,640 --> 00:28:35,960
Speaker 1: engine idling, smoothed, the whole nine yards very gently, Take

547
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Speaker 1: a shop rag and start to put it over the

548
00:28:38,040 --> 00:28:41,480
Speaker 1: top of the carburetor. Alright, with the air cleaner off,

549
00:28:41,880 --> 00:28:45,240
Speaker 1: does it stall or does the rpm go up? If

550
00:28:45,280 --> 00:28:48,200
Speaker 1: the rpm goes up, the carburetor's got a dirty idle

551
00:28:48,240 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: air bleed. Alright, it's restricted, and it's pulling air from

552
00:28:51,160 --> 00:28:54,640
Speaker 1: somewhere else or and fuel from somewhere else. If it's stalls,

553
00:28:54,920 --> 00:28:57,560
Speaker 1: that carburetor is healthy internally. We gotta look elsewhere for

554
00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:02,000
Speaker 1: the problem. Look up, go Google search idle, every dirty

555
00:29:02,040 --> 00:29:04,320
Speaker 1: idol air bleeds in a carburetor. There's a whole science

556
00:29:04,320 --> 00:29:06,400
Speaker 1: to it. But that was the test and that isn't

557
00:29:06,440 --> 00:29:08,840
Speaker 1: That isn't mine. That's Chrysler with too two Hollies back

558
00:29:08,880 --> 00:29:11,239
Speaker 1: in the day on the one believe it or not.

559
00:29:11,320 --> 00:29:13,680
Speaker 1: So do that and then call me back next week.

560
00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,600
Speaker 1: Let me know what happens with this car. Alright, kid,

561
00:29:16,840 --> 00:29:19,840
Speaker 1: take good care. Five zero nine zero zero the car

562
00:29:19,880 --> 00:29:26,000
Speaker 1: Doc is coming right back. Don't go away. He drives

563
00:29:26,040 --> 00:29:28,200
Speaker 1: that way. But when it comes to fixing cars, Ron

564
00:29:28,280 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: has card advice done right eight five five five zero

565
00:29:31,960 --> 00:29:36,160
Speaker 1: nine nine zero zero. Here's Ron, Mike Lancing, Michigan. You're

566
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:41,160
Speaker 1: up next, Chevy Silverado. What's going on? Hello, Yes, sir,

567
00:29:41,240 --> 00:29:44,360
Speaker 1: Hey Mike you're on? What's up? Hey, Ryan, I'm gonna

568
00:29:44,360 --> 00:29:45,960
Speaker 1: tell you right now. I just drive them. I know

569
00:29:46,080 --> 00:29:49,200
Speaker 1: nothing about him. Okay, that's all right, brother. What can

570
00:29:49,240 --> 00:29:54,000
Speaker 1: I do for you? Service? Stabil a track stabil a

571
00:29:54,080 --> 00:29:59,400
Speaker 1: track off? Okay, traction service, traction control, traction control off.

572
00:30:00,040 --> 00:30:03,120
Speaker 1: There's like a triangle era that comes on and my

573
00:30:03,280 --> 00:30:05,880
Speaker 1: engine lights on all the time. And when it does

574
00:30:06,000 --> 00:30:10,880
Speaker 1: come on, usually it's idling or I'm going very slow.

575
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:14,040
Speaker 1: Then if it does come on, and if it's on,

576
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:16,280
Speaker 1: when I'm having to stop in this downship. It's an

577
00:30:16,280 --> 00:30:21,200
Speaker 1: automatical downship and you can kind of feel it shift hard. Um.

578
00:30:21,520 --> 00:30:23,920
Speaker 1: I took it to my mechanic. He said it was

579
00:30:23,960 --> 00:30:28,840
Speaker 1: a sensor steering angle, steering wheel angle censor, just a

580
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:31,240
Speaker 1: little silver sensor he put on at the base of

581
00:30:31,240 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: the at the base of the steering column. He hadn't

582
00:30:33,840 --> 00:30:35,560
Speaker 1: done what I wouldn't picked it up, trying to be

583
00:30:35,600 --> 00:30:40,920
Speaker 1: out of foot and then um, there the light was.

584
00:30:41,160 --> 00:30:43,280
Speaker 1: The engine light wasn't on. Then all of a sudden,

585
00:30:43,280 --> 00:30:44,760
Speaker 1: the next day it was on again and doing the

586
00:30:44,800 --> 00:30:47,959
Speaker 1: same thing. And so I did some research on it

587
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:51,400
Speaker 1: on Google. They seem to think it's something that happens

588
00:30:51,520 --> 00:30:58,040
Speaker 1: often with the Chevrolets. Um uh. With what I read,

589
00:30:58,200 --> 00:31:01,000
Speaker 1: people had put up the upwards the three thousand dollars

590
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,920
Speaker 1: into the vehicle trying to figure out what this problem was,

591
00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:09,480
Speaker 1: and the majority of them it read like the problem

592
00:31:09,560 --> 00:31:12,240
Speaker 1: wasn't being fixed. One of them that I read that

593
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:15,760
Speaker 1: they got lucky and it was fixed, was where they

594
00:31:15,760 --> 00:31:21,120
Speaker 1: were buying their fuel. Well, let's miles on it. I've

595
00:31:21,160 --> 00:31:24,400
Speaker 1: never tuned it up. Yeah, but let's let's back up

596
00:31:24,400 --> 00:31:27,000
Speaker 1: a second. What's what's the actual fault code coming out

597
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:29,400
Speaker 1: of the engine. Do you know I don't. Then we've

598
00:31:29,400 --> 00:31:31,160
Speaker 1: gotta stop the conversation. But I'll tell you what I

599
00:31:31,200 --> 00:31:32,720
Speaker 1: want you to do, all right. I want you to

600
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:34,920
Speaker 1: call me back next week. But what I want you

601
00:31:34,960 --> 00:31:37,160
Speaker 1: to what I want you to think about is when

602
00:31:37,200 --> 00:31:39,160
Speaker 1: and how does the problem happen. And here's why. I'm

603
00:31:39,160 --> 00:31:41,000
Speaker 1: gonna stop it until you get me a fault code.

604
00:31:41,240 --> 00:31:43,240
Speaker 1: And I don't want just I don't want just check

605
00:31:43,280 --> 00:31:46,680
Speaker 1: engine full, check engine lightful codes. I want your mechanic

606
00:31:46,760 --> 00:31:50,440
Speaker 1: to do a vehicle scan every module. All right, there's

607
00:31:50,480 --> 00:31:53,440
Speaker 1: probably forty some odd modules in that vehicle. I want

608
00:31:53,440 --> 00:31:55,560
Speaker 1: to know what fault codes are in everything, and then

609
00:31:55,560 --> 00:31:58,040
Speaker 1: I wanted to clear everything. And I want you to

610
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:00,600
Speaker 1: drive it until the light comes back on, and then

611
00:32:00,640 --> 00:32:01,959
Speaker 1: I want you to come back and tell me what

612
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: those fault codes are. They better match because I don't

613
00:32:04,640 --> 00:32:06,680
Speaker 1: know what he might have induced or maybe you know

614
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,720
Speaker 1: we're added on as a result of the repair. I

615
00:32:08,760 --> 00:32:11,200
Speaker 1: want to make sure we're dealing with consistency. What I

616
00:32:11,280 --> 00:32:14,280
Speaker 1: have seen with that truck, all right, I've seen everything

617
00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:17,400
Speaker 1: from the center high mounted stoplight. That third break light

618
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:20,160
Speaker 1: mounted in the top of the cab will actually create

619
00:32:20,200 --> 00:32:22,640
Speaker 1: a water league. Listen to this show you how crazy

620
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:26,520
Speaker 1: this gets. Will actually create a water leak and create

621
00:32:26,600 --> 00:32:32,280
Speaker 1: multiple bulletins in check engine area and stabilitrack and create

622
00:32:32,320 --> 00:32:35,040
Speaker 1: an effect dash lights all because of a water league

623
00:32:35,040 --> 00:32:37,440
Speaker 1: in the top of the vehicle. They've also had problems

624
00:32:37,480 --> 00:32:40,680
Speaker 1: with the steering angle sensor connector down at the base

625
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,960
Speaker 1: of the steering column, all right, and that connector has

626
00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,280
Speaker 1: to be changed. But before I go into that detail,

627
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:49,719
Speaker 1: give me some codes. Talk to me next week. Give

628
00:32:49,760 --> 00:32:52,640
Speaker 1: me some codes if you want. If you can email

629
00:32:52,680 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: me Ron at Car Doctor show dot com, send me

630
00:32:55,520 --> 00:32:58,520
Speaker 1: the seventeen digit VIN of the vehicle and a and

631
00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:01,160
Speaker 1: a and a list of what fault code mechanics UH

632
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,360
Speaker 1: setting you up with, and I'll have more information for

633
00:33:03,400 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: you when you call me on the show next week.

634
00:33:04,720 --> 00:33:06,920
Speaker 1: I'll do a little extra research for you, alright, because

635
00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:09,080
Speaker 1: we can fix this truck for less than three thousand dollars.

636
00:33:09,080 --> 00:33:11,040
Speaker 1: I'm sure it can't be that hard to fix. It's

637
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:14,640
Speaker 1: a broken car, all right, kidd Thank you, You're very welcome.

638
00:33:14,640 --> 00:33:17,760
Speaker 1: I'll talk to you next week. Zero zero the car

639
00:33:17,800 --> 00:33:26,160
Speaker 1: Doctors coming right back. Don't go away one back. One

640
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:28,600
Speaker 1: of the card doctor. Let's get over to Nick and Missouri. Nick,

641
00:33:28,680 --> 00:33:32,200
Speaker 1: I got two and a half minutes. Brother, what's going on?

642
00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:36,360
Speaker 1: My air bag? Like? Uh started coming on, staying on

643
00:33:36,440 --> 00:33:39,720
Speaker 1: and I and I took a think and eat. It's

644
00:33:39,760 --> 00:33:46,520
Speaker 1: showing passenger fasten your side air bag faulty alarm or

645
00:33:46,560 --> 00:33:49,720
Speaker 1: faulty something you know. I don't know what the code was,

646
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:56,120
Speaker 1: eighty four or a code seven? Sound familiar? No, so

647
00:33:56,280 --> 00:33:57,680
Speaker 1: what what? What did he say you have to do

648
00:33:57,720 --> 00:34:02,600
Speaker 1: to repair it? Did he say, well, there's a under

649
00:34:02,600 --> 00:34:05,840
Speaker 1: the center console. Because I got underneath the seat and

650
00:34:05,840 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 1: look and everything was plugged the center console. There's another module.

651
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,160
Speaker 1: He used a little snake camera and got in there,

652
00:34:12,560 --> 00:34:14,640
Speaker 1: and there's another module with a bunch of wires and

653
00:34:14,680 --> 00:34:19,720
Speaker 1: stuff in there. According to the computer, that's that's where uh,

654
00:34:19,800 --> 00:34:24,560
Speaker 1: that module of wires are for this passenger side. But uh,

655
00:34:24,640 --> 00:34:26,680
Speaker 1: and he was really busy. He just did this guy

656
00:34:26,680 --> 00:34:28,719
Speaker 1: as a fan. And we tried to take it out

657
00:34:28,760 --> 00:34:31,600
Speaker 1: there and and we never figured out how to get

658
00:34:31,640 --> 00:34:34,600
Speaker 1: the center console out there. So I and I don't

659
00:34:34,600 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: know whether this was because I'm less than than all

660
00:34:37,200 --> 00:34:39,400
Speaker 1: this and I didn't know what there was, whether this

661
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:41,640
Speaker 1: was something Michael monkey with trying to get that center

662
00:34:41,719 --> 00:34:46,320
Speaker 1: console out because I don't want to devoy the airbag. No, no,

663
00:34:46,440 --> 00:34:48,600
Speaker 1: no no? Do you have a um? Do you have

664
00:34:48,640 --> 00:34:51,600
Speaker 1: a passenger airbag? The activation switch? Do you have a

665
00:34:51,600 --> 00:34:53,759
Speaker 1: way to turn the airbag off for the passenger side

666
00:34:53,760 --> 00:34:56,359
Speaker 1: if you want? No one of them little key things

667
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:58,640
Speaker 1: you mean, yeah? Or a button or switch? You don't

668
00:34:58,640 --> 00:35:02,000
Speaker 1: have that in two thousand seven. I don't. I don't

669
00:35:02,040 --> 00:35:06,920
Speaker 1: know if two thousand seven. Okay, UM, I'll tell you what,

670
00:35:07,200 --> 00:35:10,160
Speaker 1: Get me the fault code and call me back next

671
00:35:10,200 --> 00:35:11,759
Speaker 1: week because I can help you. I just need I

672
00:35:11,760 --> 00:35:17,279
Speaker 1: need specific code information. Um. Because airbags are based on resistance.

673
00:35:17,320 --> 00:35:19,440
Speaker 1: That's what makes them work. The circuit has to have

674
00:35:19,480 --> 00:35:21,480
Speaker 1: the exact resistance in all points or it will set

675
00:35:21,480 --> 00:35:23,439
Speaker 1: a fault. So before I tell you the wrong thing,

676
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,680
Speaker 1: give me a fault code next week and we can

677
00:35:25,719 --> 00:35:27,600
Speaker 1: go into this a little bit deeper. I'm running any

678
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:30,640
Speaker 1: of the car. Doctor. Mechanics aren't expensive, They're priceless. Let's

679
00:35:30,640 --> 00:35:30,920
Speaker 1: see you
