1
00:00:03,160 --> 00:00:05,920
Speaker 1: Ron and Nanian. Did you see where nor Rad reported

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:09,640
Speaker 1: how Santa appeared in the western sky rather early this year.

3
00:00:09,680 --> 00:00:12,079
Speaker 1: I figured you probably got him lost. No. I was

4
00:00:12,200 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 1: driving the Car Doctor. In the event that I do

5
00:00:26,520 --> 00:00:28,480
Speaker 1: have an accident. If everybody, as you say, has a

6
00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,560
Speaker 1: cell phone, I'll count on them to call it in

7
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,440
Speaker 1: because why would I take a chance on what you're

8
00:00:33,479 --> 00:00:36,240
Speaker 1: doing for me. Welcome to the radio home of Ron

9
00:00:36,280 --> 00:00:40,600
Speaker 1: and Nanian, the Car Doctor, since this is where car

10
00:00:40,680 --> 00:00:44,240
Speaker 1: owners the world will return to for their definitive opinion

11
00:00:44,320 --> 00:00:48,240
Speaker 1: on automotive repair. If you're mechanics giving you a busy signal,

12
00:00:48,400 --> 00:00:51,600
Speaker 1: pick up the phone and call in. The garage doors

13
00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:53,760
Speaker 1: are open, but I am here to take your call

14
00:00:54,160 --> 00:01:01,880
Speaker 1: at eight five and now are running? Did you see

15
00:01:01,920 --> 00:01:05,040
Speaker 1: the Facebook page? Hello? How are you? Did you see

16
00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:07,360
Speaker 1: the Facebook post we put up about um well recent

17
00:01:07,440 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 1: article in the Wall Street Journal. I'll be quick. I

18
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:10,280
Speaker 1: know we got a lot of phone calls this hour.

19
00:01:10,959 --> 00:01:14,600
Speaker 1: Uh that talks about the ep A mileage standards. UM.

20
00:01:14,880 --> 00:01:18,560
Speaker 1: Jonathan Lesser, he is a he's president of Continental Economics,

21
00:01:18,600 --> 00:01:21,200
Speaker 1: and he's an adjunct fellow with the Manhattan Institute. There's

22
00:01:21,200 --> 00:01:23,200
Speaker 1: those guys from the Manhattan Institute. Again, I don't know.

23
00:01:23,240 --> 00:01:26,600
Speaker 1: They just keep coming up just common sense. Um and

24
00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:29,520
Speaker 1: at the risk of being you know, brow beaten and

25
00:01:29,520 --> 00:01:32,160
Speaker 1: and and yelled at because I actually posted this article

26
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,040
Speaker 1: we put up on the Facebook page, and someone accused

27
00:01:35,080 --> 00:01:37,960
Speaker 1: me of well, it just weren't very kind. They had

28
00:01:38,000 --> 00:01:39,800
Speaker 1: to make a disparaging and comment about the fact that

29
00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:42,119
Speaker 1: how would I trust the Wall Street Journal Rupert Murdoch,

30
00:01:43,120 --> 00:01:44,800
Speaker 1: why all of a sudden, I mean, listen, I know

31
00:01:44,840 --> 00:01:48,280
Speaker 1: it's all right, the question news organizations and stuff, But

32
00:01:48,600 --> 00:01:50,880
Speaker 1: I looked into it. Everything in this article about how

33
00:01:50,920 --> 00:01:54,400
Speaker 1: the e PAS mileage standards are a stealth electric vehicle mandate,

34
00:01:54,440 --> 00:01:56,800
Speaker 1: I mean, it makes sense. There are federal tax credits

35
00:01:56,800 --> 00:01:59,080
Speaker 1: to buy electric vehicles. Did you know that they're they're

36
00:01:59,080 --> 00:02:02,160
Speaker 1: showing favoritism. There was an increase in the mandate. The

37
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,000
Speaker 1: federal government did say by the model years. They point

38
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:07,960
Speaker 1: out in this article that the you know, fleet fuel

39
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:11,040
Speaker 1: economy has to reach those miles per gallon, which is

40
00:02:11,120 --> 00:02:14,560
Speaker 1: almost impossible given our our love and desire to drive

41
00:02:14,600 --> 00:02:18,320
Speaker 1: big vehicles in this country. And the article just made sense.

42
00:02:18,560 --> 00:02:20,400
Speaker 1: But yet we're we're picking on this article, but just

43
00:02:20,440 --> 00:02:22,320
Speaker 1: because it appears in the whole Street Journal. We don't

44
00:02:22,400 --> 00:02:24,680
Speaker 1: want to look at the facts. And that's kind of

45
00:02:24,720 --> 00:02:27,440
Speaker 1: scary that we're all just so stuck on. Well, we're

46
00:02:27,440 --> 00:02:29,600
Speaker 1: gonna follow, you know, we're gonna be sheep and follow.

47
00:02:29,639 --> 00:02:32,280
Speaker 1: What the uh what what we're being told is gonna work?

48
00:02:32,280 --> 00:02:35,480
Speaker 1: It's it's it's it's changing. This article is a must

49
00:02:35,520 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: read in the Wall Street Journal. It's up on our

50
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:39,919
Speaker 1: Facebook page. You can read it there. Um, it's it's

51
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 1: just a must read. You know, they're going to change

52
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:47,320
Speaker 1: what you drive based on what they think you need

53
00:02:47,320 --> 00:02:49,320
Speaker 1: to drive. They're gonna do it simply. But you can't

54
00:02:49,320 --> 00:02:53,200
Speaker 1: get parts my old four suburban. Now here's a vehicle

55
00:02:53,880 --> 00:02:56,040
Speaker 1: that Okay, I realize it's probably one of the more

56
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:58,560
Speaker 1: pampered vehicles in the country right now. Um, an old

57
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:01,080
Speaker 1: for subourban is just about the rack eighty thousand miles

58
00:03:01,080 --> 00:03:03,560
Speaker 1: that just turned seventy nine thousand miles. I needed a

59
00:03:03,600 --> 00:03:06,120
Speaker 1: remote key fob this week. The remote key fob gave up.

60
00:03:06,120 --> 00:03:10,200
Speaker 1: The ghost GM no longer has any they they part

61
00:03:10,240 --> 00:03:12,400
Speaker 1: went obsolete last year or the year before that. I

62
00:03:12,440 --> 00:03:14,720
Speaker 1: was I was really surprised because how many you know,

63
00:03:14,840 --> 00:03:18,359
Speaker 1: oh three to oh eight, I think it was suburbans

64
00:03:18,639 --> 00:03:21,240
Speaker 1: or Silverado suburbans, all the trucks in that class of fit.

65
00:03:21,240 --> 00:03:25,399
Speaker 1: How many of those were out there obsolete? Okay, And

66
00:03:25,560 --> 00:03:28,520
Speaker 1: just for giggles, I've noticed, uh, you know, not for giggles,

67
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,560
Speaker 1: but I've noticed that the A C heater control head

68
00:03:30,600 --> 00:03:33,359
Speaker 1: is starting to flicker. The fluorescent is starting to get

69
00:03:33,480 --> 00:03:35,200
Speaker 1: beat up, and it's not doing what it's supposed to do.

70
00:03:35,240 --> 00:03:37,280
Speaker 1: So I know that's on its way, and you know

71
00:03:37,320 --> 00:03:39,600
Speaker 1: it's stuff. It's twenty years old now, and I get it.

72
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:42,640
Speaker 1: The electronics are getting tired, and you know, what do

73
00:03:42,680 --> 00:03:44,320
Speaker 1: you do? Where do you find replacement parts? I'll tell

74
00:03:44,320 --> 00:03:46,400
Speaker 1: you who's gonna make a ton of money is the

75
00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,800
Speaker 1: secondary market. I looked. I found it. Dorman makes it,

76
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:51,000
Speaker 1: Dormant Products dot Com. They make a remote key fob,

77
00:03:51,040 --> 00:03:53,880
Speaker 1: they make an A C heater control head. You're gonna

78
00:03:53,920 --> 00:03:56,400
Speaker 1: see these companies that are smart and that are engineering

79
00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,280
Speaker 1: and changing the way. Dormant isn't keeping up with the times,

80
00:03:59,320 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, in what they're producing, you're gonna

81
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:05,440
Speaker 1: see these companies, uh, make a whole lot more of

82
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:08,880
Speaker 1: the transition um, you know, to maintain the vehicles and

83
00:04:08,920 --> 00:04:10,960
Speaker 1: keep them on the road rather than just make the

84
00:04:10,960 --> 00:04:14,520
Speaker 1: transition to electric vehicle. So, you know, thank god for

85
00:04:14,560 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: companies like Dorman. But that article, come on, let's read it.

86
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:20,040
Speaker 1: You know what, politics aside. I'm not trying to make

87
00:04:20,080 --> 00:04:23,520
Speaker 1: this a political show, but read it. The comments are there,

88
00:04:23,560 --> 00:04:27,119
Speaker 1: the comments are real, all right. There are electric vehicle

89
00:04:27,160 --> 00:04:30,040
Speaker 1: tax credits out there for e vs, and you and

90
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,080
Speaker 1: I are paying for it, and we have the right

91
00:04:32,120 --> 00:04:34,160
Speaker 1: to know that. Unless you want to stick your head

92
00:04:34,160 --> 00:04:37,680
Speaker 1: in the sand, um and just ignore it. I leave

93
00:04:37,720 --> 00:04:39,640
Speaker 1: that up to you. But I'm trying to keep this

94
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:42,279
Speaker 1: show as non political as I can. So anyway, let's

95
00:04:42,279 --> 00:04:43,960
Speaker 1: get over and talk to Paul and Virginia n anyone

96
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:46,680
Speaker 1: Bronco and some problems with RPM. Paul, Welcome to the

97
00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:51,600
Speaker 1: car doctor, sir. How can I help? Yes? Are Uh? Yeah,

98
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: I've got this ninety one Bronco's actually the silver Anniversary model.

99
00:04:56,400 --> 00:05:02,400
Speaker 1: It's very rare, uh as you drive down the road. Uh.

100
00:05:02,520 --> 00:05:05,960
Speaker 1: And I thought it might be a lock up converter

101
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:10,000
Speaker 1: for what it's doing. And so I've tried it with

102
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,560
Speaker 1: with with it switched off and just the left to

103
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:18,000
Speaker 1: three speed and it still does it. But and what

104
00:05:18,080 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 1: it does is your cruise along and you might be

105
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: just shy of two thousand r p ms and it'll

106
00:05:25,880 --> 00:05:31,480
Speaker 1: drop like three four pms and it feels like somebody

107
00:05:31,640 --> 00:05:35,599
Speaker 1: flipped the switch and it's rapid on off, on off,

108
00:05:36,440 --> 00:05:41,240
Speaker 1: And we'll do this, oh four, maybe five times, and

109
00:05:41,279 --> 00:05:46,320
Speaker 1: then it's finished doing that and it didn't lose speed

110
00:05:46,400 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: at all, and we'll do it with cruise or without cruise.

111
00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,320
Speaker 1: Does it feel like the engine is cutting out or

112
00:05:54,320 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: you're just saying it it feels like it's changing gear? Well, oh,

113
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 1: that's that's it. I can't. It felt like it might

114
00:06:03,400 --> 00:06:06,119
Speaker 1: be you know, well, is this so you know going

115
00:06:06,240 --> 00:06:09,760
Speaker 1: in and out of lock up? But I um, I

116
00:06:09,839 --> 00:06:14,560
Speaker 1: took that out of the equation, and so it must

117
00:06:14,600 --> 00:06:19,800
Speaker 1: be engine related. Okay, so this this is what this

118
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:24,640
Speaker 1: is a four speed transport? Yes, all right, So it's

119
00:06:24,640 --> 00:06:27,080
Speaker 1: got it's got a switch on the you know, it's

120
00:06:27,120 --> 00:06:32,880
Speaker 1: got three on the quadrant right, and then it's if

121
00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:35,440
Speaker 1: you hold it and draw, if you keep if you

122
00:06:35,600 --> 00:06:40,960
Speaker 1: keep lock up off, it still does it correct? Is

123
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:43,640
Speaker 1: it is? It? Does the vehicle have to hit a

124
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:49,880
Speaker 1: certain speed in order for it to do it? Well,

125
00:06:49,920 --> 00:06:57,480
Speaker 1: I've never I've never noticed it, you know, under that

126
00:06:57,520 --> 00:07:01,680
Speaker 1: could be, all right, So you know, is it is it?

127
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:04,600
Speaker 1: If we got it in third gear and third gear

128
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: you know, start playing with rpm. I know where I'm

129
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:08,280
Speaker 1: gonna take you with this. I just I just want

130
00:07:08,320 --> 00:07:10,320
Speaker 1: to get an answer to a couple of things. Um,

131
00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:13,440
Speaker 1: you know, if you take it in third gear and

132
00:07:13,600 --> 00:07:15,680
Speaker 1: lug third gear all the way down holding in third gear,

133
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:19,840
Speaker 1: is it happening there? Or does it have to be

134
00:07:19,880 --> 00:07:23,040
Speaker 1: above fifty five hour when this actually when this condition

135
00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:29,120
Speaker 1: actually occurs. Yeah, I've never noticed it, you know, like

136
00:07:29,240 --> 00:07:33,400
Speaker 1: fifty or below. I've never noticed it doing. Okay, So

137
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:36,480
Speaker 1: a couple of things I wanted as well. I'd really

138
00:07:36,520 --> 00:07:38,800
Speaker 1: like to know, just for the heck of it, I

139
00:07:38,840 --> 00:07:40,440
Speaker 1: want to know what's good. I'd love you to hook

140
00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:42,080
Speaker 1: up and it's pretty easy to do if you've got

141
00:07:42,080 --> 00:07:44,080
Speaker 1: want to hook up a fuel pressure gage, take it

142
00:07:44,120 --> 00:07:46,600
Speaker 1: to the windshield and watch fuel pressure while this is happening.

143
00:07:47,480 --> 00:07:51,080
Speaker 1: All right, just just so I know, all right, does

144
00:07:51,120 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: fuel pressure remain a constant if we see fuel pressure change?

145
00:07:54,640 --> 00:07:58,160
Speaker 1: Because if we see fuel pressure change, just you know,

146
00:07:58,200 --> 00:08:00,240
Speaker 1: we're just watching a change, it will do just what

147
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:02,560
Speaker 1: you're describing, all right, it will affect our PM. It

148
00:08:02,560 --> 00:08:05,120
Speaker 1: will effect how the transhifts, It will affect a variety

149
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:06,320
Speaker 1: of things. I don't think it is, but I just

150
00:08:06,360 --> 00:08:07,960
Speaker 1: want to know when it's a quick and easy, simple thing.

151
00:08:08,160 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: What I always tell you guys, sometimes knowing what's good

152
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,000
Speaker 1: tells you what's bad. All right, does it? Does the

153
00:08:14,000 --> 00:08:15,960
Speaker 1: truck ever stole and get to the point where it's

154
00:08:15,960 --> 00:08:26,880
Speaker 1: a crank no start? Uh? Lately? Yeah? It may stall

155
00:08:26,960 --> 00:08:34,800
Speaker 1: when you first started up and you put it into reverse. Okay, okay?

156
00:08:34,840 --> 00:08:40,600
Speaker 1: And and I thought that that would be because the

157
00:08:40,760 --> 00:08:44,520
Speaker 1: RPMs were not any higher when you first started then

158
00:08:44,640 --> 00:08:48,520
Speaker 1: when it's fully warm, So I I think, well cool

159
00:08:48,559 --> 00:08:57,559
Speaker 1: attempt sense or there's a five O five, there's a

160
00:08:57,640 --> 00:09:00,360
Speaker 1: five eight. So this isn't eat. This is an eek

161
00:09:00,480 --> 00:09:04,439
Speaker 1: four car. Grounds are critical on this car. What do

162
00:09:04,520 --> 00:09:07,320
Speaker 1: the what do the battery cables look like? I'm gonna

163
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:10,480
Speaker 1: ask you goofy questions. They're good, Okay, they're good. And

164
00:09:10,559 --> 00:09:15,160
Speaker 1: it's got a it's got a recent motocraft battery. Okay,

165
00:09:15,320 --> 00:09:19,360
Speaker 1: the there's a there's a pigtail coming all right, listen

166
00:09:19,360 --> 00:09:21,800
Speaker 1: to me. There's a pigtail coming off the negative battery cable.

167
00:09:23,280 --> 00:09:25,679
Speaker 1: All right, there's a small pigtail that goes from the

168
00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:33,559
Speaker 1: from the battery to the radiator supporter of the fender. Well, correct, Oh,

169
00:09:33,679 --> 00:09:36,320
Speaker 1: there's a little ground there. That ground has to be

170
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:41,000
Speaker 1: absolutely clean, tight, and a good solid connection. That ground

171
00:09:41,720 --> 00:09:45,120
Speaker 1: is reference ground voltage for the EEK four processor. Lose

172
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:46,640
Speaker 1: that and you'll see the truck do all kinds of

173
00:09:46,679 --> 00:09:52,040
Speaker 1: weird things. Yeah, and that looks a little bit rusty.

174
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:55,000
Speaker 1: So let's pay attention to that on the back of

175
00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,720
Speaker 1: each on the back of each cylinder head, if I

176
00:09:57,760 --> 00:10:00,360
Speaker 1: remember right, and I might be wrong on this, in

177
00:10:01,440 --> 00:10:04,200
Speaker 1: just verify if there are grounds at the cylinder head

178
00:10:04,920 --> 00:10:07,160
Speaker 1: at the rear, and they're they're a real pain. They're

179
00:10:07,160 --> 00:10:09,240
Speaker 1: a real pain in the butt to get to. Are

180
00:10:09,240 --> 00:10:15,720
Speaker 1: they tight? Are they there? Has? Uh? Has that? And

181
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:18,840
Speaker 1: this is a little bit harder to look at them.

182
00:10:19,040 --> 00:10:23,240
Speaker 1: Probably probably the same way, right, So let's verify grounds

183
00:10:23,240 --> 00:10:27,760
Speaker 1: are critical on that vehicle, all the grounds because the

184
00:10:27,880 --> 00:10:32,600
Speaker 1: EAT processor doesn't respond well to lack of ground. Okay,

185
00:10:33,160 --> 00:10:36,079
Speaker 1: go through the grounds. Make sure they're all good, clean, solid,

186
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: every one of them. Okay, make sure I would voltage

187
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:42,400
Speaker 1: drop test the battery ground cable where it goes to

188
00:10:42,440 --> 00:10:46,440
Speaker 1: the block. Make sure that's a good, solid, positive connection.

189
00:10:46,480 --> 00:10:48,199
Speaker 1: And I hate to say the word positive when we're

190
00:10:48,200 --> 00:10:50,959
Speaker 1: talking about a ground but you get my point. Okay,

191
00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:55,760
Speaker 1: last thing, completely unrelated. Take the distributor cap off, all right.

192
00:10:56,280 --> 00:10:59,360
Speaker 1: Look inside the distributor cap you know where the this

193
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:01,719
Speaker 1: has an ignited module mounted to the distributor or The

194
00:11:01,760 --> 00:11:07,920
Speaker 1: ignition module is mounted to the fender. Well, no, it's right, Ontribuka,

195
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:10,560
Speaker 1: It's not my favorite place where it. So take the

196
00:11:10,559 --> 00:11:13,760
Speaker 1: distributor cap off. Is there any oil inside the distributor?

197
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:17,960
Speaker 1: All right? And if there is, look at the Look

198
00:11:18,000 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: at that connection that hall effect that that is a

199
00:11:21,280 --> 00:11:25,400
Speaker 1: Hall effects stator, all right? Is the is the rubber

200
00:11:25,480 --> 00:11:29,240
Speaker 1: connector that's there that the module plugs into. Can you

201
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,600
Speaker 1: push your fingernail into it? Is it soft and gooey

202
00:11:32,880 --> 00:11:35,120
Speaker 1: or is it rock hard? It should be hard. If

203
00:11:35,160 --> 00:11:39,400
Speaker 1: it's soft and gooey. Take the ignition module off. Do

204
00:11:39,440 --> 00:11:42,000
Speaker 1: you peel the connector with it when you come off?

205
00:11:42,240 --> 00:11:45,400
Speaker 1: Is there a possibility that those connector terminals are touching

206
00:11:46,040 --> 00:11:50,280
Speaker 1: because that rubber boot has deteriorated? That was a real

207
00:11:50,360 --> 00:11:55,920
Speaker 1: common stall effect back in the day. Okay, you're talking

208
00:11:55,920 --> 00:12:02,880
Speaker 1: about the seal where the connector goes to the module correct, Okay,

209
00:12:03,120 --> 00:12:05,480
Speaker 1: all right, you won't see it. You won't see it

210
00:12:05,559 --> 00:12:07,520
Speaker 1: unless you're either gonna pull the cap off, which I

211
00:12:07,559 --> 00:12:08,920
Speaker 1: want you to pull the cap off and look for

212
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:12,640
Speaker 1: oil in there, or you're gonna verify. You're gonna verify

213
00:12:12,720 --> 00:12:14,760
Speaker 1: by taking the module off and looking underneath. And when

214
00:12:14,760 --> 00:12:17,640
Speaker 1: you remount the module, make sure you've got some dielectric

215
00:12:17,640 --> 00:12:19,400
Speaker 1: grease to mount it to the distributor with so the

216
00:12:19,440 --> 00:12:22,199
Speaker 1: module doesn't get hot. All right, I want you to

217
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:24,520
Speaker 1: do it. I want you to do a throttle body cleaning.

218
00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:27,240
Speaker 1: I want you to take the idle air control motor off,

219
00:12:27,280 --> 00:12:29,040
Speaker 1: which is a pain in the butt, and I want

220
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:31,240
Speaker 1: you to verify that it's it's it's clean, that it's

221
00:12:31,280 --> 00:12:34,040
Speaker 1: got no carbon deposits in it. And then I want

222
00:12:34,040 --> 00:12:37,600
Speaker 1: you to disconnect both battery cables, tie them together and

223
00:12:37,640 --> 00:12:39,600
Speaker 1: do a relearn and let let this thing learn its

224
00:12:39,600 --> 00:12:42,120
Speaker 1: idle speed. When you start this truck cold, you should

225
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:45,559
Speaker 1: see a cold, fast idle on this. All right, this

226
00:12:45,640 --> 00:12:49,240
Speaker 1: shouldn't be struggling to maintain our PM. All of those

227
00:12:49,280 --> 00:12:53,080
Speaker 1: inputs can have an effect on trans operation. Let me

228
00:12:53,080 --> 00:12:55,320
Speaker 1: pull over and take a pause. You go do those things,

229
00:12:55,320 --> 00:12:58,400
Speaker 1: call me back. Next week, let me know where we stand. Alright, kiddo,

230
00:12:58,520 --> 00:13:00,400
Speaker 1: you'd be well, I'm running naming the car doctor. We're

231
00:13:00,440 --> 00:13:09,800
Speaker 1: back right after this vehicle not taking you where you

232
00:13:09,800 --> 00:13:12,080
Speaker 1: want to go? Well call Ron. He's an expert at

233
00:13:12,080 --> 00:13:15,000
Speaker 1: making your vehicle take you where you needed. Five five

234
00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:19,000
Speaker 1: zero zero zero. And now back to Ron. Hey, let's

235
00:13:19,000 --> 00:13:20,959
Speaker 1: get over to Brian in New Jersey with a seventeen

236
00:13:21,000 --> 00:13:23,000
Speaker 1: Mustang wants to talk about cooling. Brian, Welcome to the

237
00:13:23,040 --> 00:13:25,600
Speaker 1: car Doctor, sir. How can I help? How you doing? Ron?

238
00:13:25,679 --> 00:13:29,800
Speaker 1: Happy New Year? Um? I have a two thousand seventeen

239
00:13:29,920 --> 00:13:32,200
Speaker 1: Mustang g T and I'm coming up on the five

240
00:13:32,280 --> 00:13:36,079
Speaker 1: year mark for for maintenance and I wanted to do

241
00:13:36,640 --> 00:13:41,559
Speaker 1: a cooling flush or you change the cooling. So on investigation,

242
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:44,440
Speaker 1: I found out that Ford has changed the coolant from

243
00:13:44,559 --> 00:13:49,160
Speaker 1: orange to yellow. And you can't mix that with tap water.

244
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:54,040
Speaker 1: You have to use the still water. And uh, I

245
00:13:54,080 --> 00:13:56,360
Speaker 1: don't think I can do that at home. I can

246
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,480
Speaker 1: you know, I can just drain it and refill it.

247
00:13:59,200 --> 00:14:01,400
Speaker 1: That's not going to get me anywhere where I want

248
00:14:01,400 --> 00:14:03,520
Speaker 1: to go. It's it just seems like I'm not going

249
00:14:03,559 --> 00:14:05,960
Speaker 1: to be able to get enough out now and and

250
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:08,000
Speaker 1: you know the issue here is, you know, first of all,

251
00:14:08,000 --> 00:14:10,720
Speaker 1: and a couple of comments, I don't understand why they

252
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:13,480
Speaker 1: went from orange to yellow, because do you know what

253
00:14:13,520 --> 00:14:18,160
Speaker 1: their other colored cooling does? Gold? So it's it's either

254
00:14:18,240 --> 00:14:24,840
Speaker 1: orange yellow gold. Well, green and orange got condensed to yellow.

255
00:14:25,880 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: So now there are two coolings available from Ford yellow

256
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:35,000
Speaker 1: or gold. How good are your eyes? You know that, right?

257
00:14:35,080 --> 00:14:37,080
Speaker 1: But but you know, think of think of how many

258
00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:40,320
Speaker 1: the potential for something. You know, you'll count on what

259
00:14:40,400 --> 00:14:42,080
Speaker 1: color is it? How many people are going to count

260
00:14:42,080 --> 00:14:43,560
Speaker 1: on what color is it is to what to put

261
00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:48,240
Speaker 1: in it? And it's it's crazy. So to direct to

262
00:14:48,280 --> 00:14:51,360
Speaker 1: your question, when you drain a radiator on the average vehicle,

263
00:14:51,400 --> 00:14:54,240
Speaker 1: you get out about a third. That's all you get out,

264
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:57,480
Speaker 1: all right. And you know if you were to pull

265
00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,280
Speaker 1: the core plugs on the block, you'll get out the

266
00:14:59,320 --> 00:15:01,280
Speaker 1: other third and the rest of it's between the hoses

267
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:03,600
Speaker 1: in the heater corps. So the only way to really

268
00:15:03,680 --> 00:15:07,680
Speaker 1: do this is a shop with a machine, and you've

269
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:09,880
Speaker 1: got to hope that they're really gonna do it. I

270
00:15:09,960 --> 00:15:13,080
Speaker 1: know more than a few shops that well, they'll they'll

271
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:14,880
Speaker 1: sell a cool in exchange, but they don't even own

272
00:15:14,880 --> 00:15:17,000
Speaker 1: a machine, or they'll own the machine, they'll never use it.

273
00:15:17,520 --> 00:15:21,280
Speaker 1: So it's I hate to be disparaging about my chosen industry,

274
00:15:21,320 --> 00:15:25,920
Speaker 1: but I you know, I've learned to be I've learned. Yeah, absolutely,

275
00:15:26,560 --> 00:15:30,520
Speaker 1: um absolutely, um. You know it's I can tell you

276
00:15:30,560 --> 00:15:33,600
Speaker 1: from experience what it will take. Um is this This

277
00:15:33,680 --> 00:15:36,560
Speaker 1: isn't a this isn't um a supercharge version. This is

278
00:15:36,560 --> 00:15:40,720
Speaker 1: just a regular V eight uh performance pack. It's a

279
00:15:40,760 --> 00:15:45,360
Speaker 1: little big, bigger radiator. But it's like, right, yeah, we

280
00:15:45,440 --> 00:15:47,720
Speaker 1: just went through this on a m We had an oh,

281
00:15:48,640 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: let me think what the heck was that. It was

282
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:55,440
Speaker 1: an O eight rows supercharge GT that had been sitting

283
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:57,160
Speaker 1: for about eight years, and we just went through an

284
00:15:57,160 --> 00:15:59,240
Speaker 1: exchange service on that. That was a little bit more

285
00:15:59,280 --> 00:16:02,600
Speaker 1: complicated because of the supercharger connection. And that's actually, and

286
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:05,600
Speaker 1: I'm still researching it, there's actually a separate cooling for

287
00:16:05,680 --> 00:16:08,480
Speaker 1: that that nobody can tell me what it is because

288
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:11,760
Speaker 1: of the supercharger. So that's that's a whole another you know,

289
00:16:12,160 --> 00:16:14,240
Speaker 1: that's a whole another story. But yeah, now you're you're

290
00:16:14,240 --> 00:16:16,880
Speaker 1: trying to do it right as far as yeah, I wanted,

291
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:19,360
Speaker 1: I want to do it right. But I mean I couldn't.

292
00:16:19,520 --> 00:16:22,240
Speaker 1: I could do it the easy way and just drain

293
00:16:22,280 --> 00:16:24,320
Speaker 1: it and sell it and wait six months and drain

294
00:16:24,360 --> 00:16:26,240
Speaker 1: it and sell it and do it over and over.

295
00:16:26,440 --> 00:16:29,000
Speaker 1: And the other thing you're gonna see is I believe

296
00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:30,880
Speaker 1: they're going to try and convince you that the orange

297
00:16:30,880 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: coolant is good for ten years. I don't if you, well,

298
00:16:35,760 --> 00:16:38,240
Speaker 1: the orange is good for five. And they said the yellow,

299
00:16:38,640 --> 00:16:40,520
Speaker 1: if you get it like in a new car, it'll

300
00:16:40,560 --> 00:16:43,640
Speaker 1: be good for ten years. But they said if you

301
00:16:43,800 --> 00:16:47,240
Speaker 1: change it out, it's still only good for the five years. Yeah,

302
00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:50,680
Speaker 1: I you know, I just keep seeing varying messages about

303
00:16:51,080 --> 00:16:56,120
Speaker 1: what or how long these coolings are good for. Yeah,

304
00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,400
Speaker 1: it's kind of where my mind is. I think, you know,

305
00:16:58,440 --> 00:17:01,680
Speaker 1: we get to a point of um, I don't understand.

306
00:17:01,720 --> 00:17:04,320
Speaker 1: For example, and again it's an engineer writing this in

307
00:17:04,320 --> 00:17:08,760
Speaker 1: a perfect in a laboratory where Toyota, for example, all right,

308
00:17:08,800 --> 00:17:11,000
Speaker 1: I know this is fact where Toyota will say they're

309
00:17:11,040 --> 00:17:14,879
Speaker 1: super long life. Pink cooling is good for ten years,

310
00:17:15,560 --> 00:17:18,480
Speaker 1: but when you replace it now, it's only good for five.

311
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:22,960
Speaker 1: And I'm not sure what the rational is. I've seen

312
00:17:23,240 --> 00:17:26,120
Speaker 1: conversation where they say, well, it's an older system, it's

313
00:17:26,240 --> 00:17:30,880
Speaker 1: it's got some degradation to it. Um, you know, just

314
00:17:30,880 --> 00:17:32,320
Speaker 1: just change it every five years. Why do we have

315
00:17:32,359 --> 00:17:35,399
Speaker 1: to make such a production out of this? Problems are

316
00:17:35,520 --> 00:17:37,920
Speaker 1: already gone out and bought the cooling and the the eyewater.

317
00:17:38,080 --> 00:17:41,600
Speaker 1: Now is anybody just going to say, Okay, you can

318
00:17:41,640 --> 00:17:44,159
Speaker 1: bring your own cooling and bring you the eyewater. I

319
00:17:44,160 --> 00:17:46,240
Speaker 1: mean that still water and we'll do it. Yeah. I

320
00:17:46,240 --> 00:17:47,720
Speaker 1: don't think that's gonna matter. I think as long as

321
00:17:47,760 --> 00:17:49,880
Speaker 1: it's as long as it's Ford coolant, I don't think.

322
00:17:49,960 --> 00:17:52,200
Speaker 1: I don't think a better shop is gonna care. Uh

323
00:17:52,240 --> 00:17:54,760
Speaker 1: you know, I would also use tell you the truth,

324
00:17:54,800 --> 00:17:56,119
Speaker 1: I kind of cheat. That's one of the reasons I

325
00:17:56,200 --> 00:17:57,720
Speaker 1: have a water cooler in the shop. I have the

326
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:02,280
Speaker 1: ionized water, and um, well that makes it makes sense

327
00:18:02,320 --> 00:18:03,960
Speaker 1: if you're going to do it like that, yeah, we

328
00:18:04,119 --> 00:18:06,040
Speaker 1: you know, for for people that want it, we will

329
00:18:06,040 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: take the five gallon drug off port in the machine

330
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,520
Speaker 1: and make it work. So but you're trying to do

331
00:18:12,560 --> 00:18:15,480
Speaker 1: it right, kiddo. And while you while you're at it,

332
00:18:15,560 --> 00:18:17,840
Speaker 1: you're thinking about cool and think about break fluid, think

333
00:18:17,880 --> 00:18:19,320
Speaker 1: about some of the other fluids. You're there as long

334
00:18:19,320 --> 00:18:21,200
Speaker 1: as you're doing all the maintenance, you might as well

335
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,440
Speaker 1: do it and get it done, because it sounds like

336
00:18:22,480 --> 00:18:24,160
Speaker 1: you want to hang onto this car. And I understand

337
00:18:24,200 --> 00:18:26,240
Speaker 1: why I'm running anating in the car. Doctor. We're back

338
00:18:26,359 --> 00:18:59,960
Speaker 1: right after this. Don't go away, welcome back. Name the

339
00:19:00,000 --> 00:19:03,920
Speaker 1: card doctor zero. Let's get back to New Jersey again.

340
00:19:04,000 --> 00:19:06,359
Speaker 1: Let's go talk to Dennis on nine. Chevy Tahoe. Dennis,

341
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:11,320
Speaker 1: welcome a board, sir. How can I help well? Chevy

342
00:19:13,840 --> 00:19:17,840
Speaker 1: here by the way, thank you to you too. And

343
00:19:17,880 --> 00:19:20,760
Speaker 1: I sent you an email on one of what my

344
00:19:20,840 --> 00:19:23,960
Speaker 1: problem was and what I've done so far. Okay, this

345
00:19:24,040 --> 00:19:28,400
Speaker 1: is that I got it, got it. I'm cutting my head,

346
00:19:28,440 --> 00:19:32,960
Speaker 1: bagging my head against the wall. Okay, let me let

347
00:19:32,960 --> 00:19:34,879
Speaker 1: me let me highlight for everybody what's going on out there.

348
00:19:34,920 --> 00:19:36,560
Speaker 1: Dennis sent me an email and now he's here on

349
00:19:36,600 --> 00:19:39,040
Speaker 1: the show. So you've got fault. You've got a heater

350
00:19:39,080 --> 00:19:43,119
Speaker 1: or control circuit fault for the bank one censor to

351
00:19:43,560 --> 00:19:45,800
Speaker 1: O two centsor correct, you had a thirty six or

352
00:19:45,800 --> 00:19:50,120
Speaker 1: fifty four one if I remember correctly, right, And you've

353
00:19:50,200 --> 00:19:54,040
Speaker 1: changed censors and you've you've changed computers, and you've been

354
00:19:54,280 --> 00:19:56,520
Speaker 1: kind of around this vehicle three or four times and

355
00:19:56,760 --> 00:20:01,840
Speaker 1: here we are right, fair statement. Okay. So when you

356
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:05,720
Speaker 1: look at the wiring diagram on this car, remember fuse eight.

357
00:20:05,800 --> 00:20:08,080
Speaker 1: I'm just gonna take you through some basics, okay, because

358
00:20:08,080 --> 00:20:11,439
Speaker 1: everything's pointing towards a heat or control fault or a

359
00:20:11,560 --> 00:20:15,480
Speaker 1: circuit fault with with with the that bank one sensor

360
00:20:15,560 --> 00:20:19,480
Speaker 1: to correct? Did you look at and I know you

361
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:22,000
Speaker 1: tested for power. Did you just happen to look at

362
00:20:22,000 --> 00:20:24,320
Speaker 1: fuse number eight? Did you pull the terminal out in

363
00:20:24,359 --> 00:20:26,600
Speaker 1: the underhood fuse block and look at the terminals? And

364
00:20:26,600 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 1: the terminals are good, clean and tight? Good with the

365
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:37,320
Speaker 1: terminal eight team, okay, And according to old data, fusday

366
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:42,960
Speaker 1: does census right, correct? It does. People. When I pulled

367
00:20:42,960 --> 00:20:46,160
Speaker 1: the fuse out when my cancer was on, it shut

368
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:51,520
Speaker 1: down the okay, So that tells me that the fuse

369
00:20:51,600 --> 00:20:54,160
Speaker 1: is good. So what if we do this? All right?

370
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:57,560
Speaker 1: Think of that wiring diagram. You've got ground control at

371
00:20:57,600 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: pin eleven and pin forty nine on the E C

372
00:20:59,680 --> 00:21:03,600
Speaker 1: M right, a tan white and a tan What if

373
00:21:03,600 --> 00:21:05,760
Speaker 1: what if we swamp those What if we swamp those

374
00:21:05,800 --> 00:21:12,919
Speaker 1: ground control wires? Oh? So let's the computer will think

375
00:21:13,040 --> 00:21:16,919
Speaker 1: is grounding out right Bank one, the bank one, but

376
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,840
Speaker 1: it's actually doing bank too correct. Where does it go?

377
00:21:19,960 --> 00:21:22,480
Speaker 1: Does it follow the computer? Does it follow the wiring?

378
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:25,639
Speaker 1: So if you were to, and I'm not I'm not

379
00:21:25,720 --> 00:21:28,399
Speaker 1: saying take the connector apart, you could do it, but

380
00:21:28,440 --> 00:21:31,639
Speaker 1: it's a little tedious. Can you find a spot in

381
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:35,800
Speaker 1: the wiring harness you know, let's be lazy six inches

382
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,800
Speaker 1: away from the computer, but in a good spot that

383
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:40,720
Speaker 1: if you cut each wire you can solder it back

384
00:21:40,760 --> 00:21:44,680
Speaker 1: together nice and neat and just just let the computer

385
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,080
Speaker 1: ground the other side. If if, if it starts to

386
00:21:48,080 --> 00:21:51,600
Speaker 1: come up with heat or control faults for circuit for

387
00:21:51,800 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: censor number two downstream, we know it's in the wiring

388
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:58,760
Speaker 1: up two and down from the power distribution box up

389
00:21:58,800 --> 00:22:01,320
Speaker 1: to the PCM. If it still comes up with a

390
00:22:01,359 --> 00:22:05,520
Speaker 1: fault for Bank one sensor two. As much as you

391
00:22:05,560 --> 00:22:07,960
Speaker 1: don't want to hear this, because full disclosure in your email,

392
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:09,760
Speaker 1: you said you changed a couple of with a couple

393
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: of used PCMs, it's either PCM or to the original

394
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:18,880
Speaker 1: one the right. I don't see how this can be

395
00:22:19,400 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: a ground issue for the PCM because you should be

396
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:24,640
Speaker 1: as you said in your email, correctly, you would think

397
00:22:24,680 --> 00:22:30,000
Speaker 1: you would see other circuit faults. Yes, so I think

398
00:22:30,040 --> 00:22:34,240
Speaker 1: you're gonna find that. Let's prove. Let's prove, and that's

399
00:22:34,280 --> 00:22:37,359
Speaker 1: what this will do. If you switch those ground controls,

400
00:22:37,760 --> 00:22:42,000
Speaker 1: that will prove that the PCM has the ability to

401
00:22:42,200 --> 00:22:45,359
Speaker 1: control that circuit properly. And I think you're going to

402
00:22:45,400 --> 00:22:50,400
Speaker 1: see a fault code for the other sensor, which means

403
00:22:50,440 --> 00:22:53,520
Speaker 1: that if it changes to the other sensor, then it's

404
00:22:53,560 --> 00:22:57,600
Speaker 1: the E C M. If it stays on the minute,

405
00:22:57,720 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: if you see this thing on the other sensor because

406
00:22:59,440 --> 00:23:01,160
Speaker 1: you swumped the wires and you know it's the wine

407
00:23:01,200 --> 00:23:03,679
Speaker 1: from em down to the right. We're gonna use the

408
00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,040
Speaker 1: bank too. We're gonna use that. We're gonna use the

409
00:23:06,119 --> 00:23:12,560
Speaker 1: bank to downstream sensor control on the bank one downstream sensor,

410
00:23:12,960 --> 00:23:16,119
Speaker 1: and we're gonna see that circuit either pass or fail,

411
00:23:16,160 --> 00:23:19,719
Speaker 1: and that will tell us where we have to go. Uh.

412
00:23:20,440 --> 00:23:22,120
Speaker 1: That's the thing I think I called you. I don't

413
00:23:22,119 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: want to start cutting any wires back. Probing is one thing,

414
00:23:25,240 --> 00:23:27,639
Speaker 1: but cutting you wanted to stay away to usaid, let

415
00:23:27,640 --> 00:23:29,800
Speaker 1: me talk to somebody. When you get an older vehicle

416
00:23:30,359 --> 00:23:34,480
Speaker 1: and you're at this point, sometimes this is sometimes this

417
00:23:34,560 --> 00:23:37,080
Speaker 1: is the quickest and easiest way if it were in

418
00:23:37,119 --> 00:23:39,879
Speaker 1: a shop, unless you've got a lab scope and you

419
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:42,520
Speaker 1: can monitor your your your signals because it's a pulse

420
00:23:42,600 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: with modulated signal. A lab scope would be the wonderful

421
00:23:45,720 --> 00:23:48,439
Speaker 1: tool here. But you know, we've got ways around it.

422
00:23:48,440 --> 00:23:49,639
Speaker 1: We can we can make it so that you can

423
00:23:49,720 --> 00:23:51,679
Speaker 1: still work on it. And that's where I would go,

424
00:23:52,520 --> 00:23:57,080
Speaker 1: all right, because when when when that backprobe did at

425
00:23:57,080 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: the c M, the one that did the bank too,

426
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,919
Speaker 1: it was actually the test I was poking bright, but

427
00:24:03,000 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: on bank it was possing them. Right. Is that being

428
00:24:06,480 --> 00:24:08,480
Speaker 1: is that being affected by the circuit it's owner? Is

429
00:24:08,480 --> 00:24:10,879
Speaker 1: that being affected by the PCM. Now you're gonna know.

430
00:24:13,640 --> 00:24:18,159
Speaker 1: I got you, all right, and then I guess tell me,

431
00:24:18,200 --> 00:24:20,000
Speaker 1: tell me what you come up with now, But you know,

432
00:24:20,359 --> 00:24:26,080
Speaker 1: can you solder? Okay? Just asking? All right? You want

433
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:27,639
Speaker 1: to you want to solder? You want to solder and

434
00:24:27,640 --> 00:24:28,920
Speaker 1: heat shrink this. I don't want to get you in

435
00:24:28,960 --> 00:24:31,239
Speaker 1: trouble and put you in a corner. You know a

436
00:24:31,240 --> 00:24:33,560
Speaker 1: lot of people will do that, um, but just make

437
00:24:33,600 --> 00:24:35,640
Speaker 1: sure obviously when you sawder it back together, you heat

438
00:24:35,680 --> 00:24:38,200
Speaker 1: shrink it. You don't want to butt connected. All right,

439
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:43,080
Speaker 1: let's see where this goes. I have seen cases where

440
00:24:43,119 --> 00:24:45,919
Speaker 1: that power distribution block that that fuse, that fuse is

441
00:24:45,920 --> 00:24:49,840
Speaker 1: plugged in, has an issue on the inside, and it's

442
00:24:49,880 --> 00:24:52,680
Speaker 1: that power distribution block, that underhead fuse block. It would

443
00:24:52,680 --> 00:24:54,880
Speaker 1: not be it would not be the most impossible thing.

444
00:24:55,119 --> 00:24:59,359
Speaker 1: And this will tell us. My my other issue is

445
00:24:59,400 --> 00:25:02,680
Speaker 1: that to connected two cents at the bottom when the

446
00:25:02,760 --> 00:25:06,720
Speaker 1: hook up a test like it's testing at the connector

447
00:25:06,880 --> 00:25:09,960
Speaker 1: on the two center right, yeah, but you're not checking

448
00:25:09,960 --> 00:25:12,439
Speaker 1: the girl. I know the power is going down to

449
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:17,320
Speaker 1: the sensor. Just the ground chuck is not right. This

450
00:25:17,359 --> 00:25:21,480
Speaker 1: will tell us mm hmm. And then it's the wires.

451
00:25:21,720 --> 00:25:26,360
Speaker 1: The wire's pinch could affect something. Sure, this will tell

452
00:25:26,400 --> 00:25:31,600
Speaker 1: us the wire loom, no accident. Well, before you start

453
00:25:31,640 --> 00:25:34,040
Speaker 1: analyzing it sitting here on the phone, denis, do what

454
00:25:34,040 --> 00:25:35,479
Speaker 1: I do. What I told you. See what you come

455
00:25:35,560 --> 00:25:37,560
Speaker 1: up with. This is this is called This is called

456
00:25:38,840 --> 00:25:41,080
Speaker 1: right switch them all right. This is called working smarter,

457
00:25:41,240 --> 00:25:45,480
Speaker 1: not harder. All right, all right, you do that, you

458
00:25:45,600 --> 00:25:49,280
Speaker 1: call me back problem, So good luck to you, easy pas.

459
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:53,600
Speaker 1: Before we hang up. You see what cold wires? Did

460
00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,960
Speaker 1: you say they were? Well, get yourself a wiring diagram.

461
00:25:55,960 --> 00:25:58,320
Speaker 1: See you follow it, but it should be tan and

462
00:25:58,359 --> 00:26:00,439
Speaker 1: a tan white you want to be and you're on

463
00:26:00,480 --> 00:26:03,879
Speaker 1: the right connectors, all right, So I'm gonna download it.

464
00:26:04,440 --> 00:26:07,760
Speaker 1: I signed up with old data, and old data for

465
00:26:08,280 --> 00:26:12,159
Speaker 1: the duncting sensors is great. It says here white and

466
00:26:12,359 --> 00:26:17,840
Speaker 1: orange white. Now to my knowledge, that's if I remember correctly.

467
00:26:17,880 --> 00:26:20,360
Speaker 1: Go back and look at it. If you're talking about

468
00:26:20,359 --> 00:26:24,119
Speaker 1: a an on nine Tahoe, you should be looking at

469
00:26:24,119 --> 00:26:26,159
Speaker 1: it should be connector X one if I if I

470
00:26:26,240 --> 00:26:29,520
Speaker 1: call correctly, and it's gonna be tan white and tan.

471
00:26:29,720 --> 00:26:31,880
Speaker 1: So make sure you're on the right harness, do this,

472
00:26:32,480 --> 00:26:35,720
Speaker 1: do this, Okay, I'm looking. I'm looking at it right

473
00:26:35,720 --> 00:26:39,240
Speaker 1: now as we speak. White is for the sense and

474
00:26:39,359 --> 00:26:42,720
Speaker 1: not of the heater. No, tan white is for the heater.

475
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:52,680
Speaker 1: It's for the relay control. Okay, So ten and tan white. Um, yeah,

476
00:26:52,680 --> 00:26:55,360
Speaker 1: I saw the X one. Um. Actually, you're you know what?

477
00:26:55,960 --> 00:26:57,800
Speaker 1: I take that back. I believe you are correct. It's

478
00:26:57,800 --> 00:27:00,760
Speaker 1: gray white and orange white, right, that's the two colors

479
00:27:00,760 --> 00:27:03,760
Speaker 1: you're seeing. Yeah, that's what I'm seeing on old data.

480
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:06,200
Speaker 1: I don't know. Maybe I just don't want to double

481
00:27:06,280 --> 00:27:09,720
Speaker 1: checks because I say, but this pictures right now, do

482
00:27:09,840 --> 00:27:13,320
Speaker 1: this to Dennis. Unplugged that O two censor and verify

483
00:27:13,400 --> 00:27:15,320
Speaker 1: that you read only a bias voltage to make sure

484
00:27:15,320 --> 00:27:23,520
Speaker 1: you're on the right sensor. All right, you're with me now, yep, okay,

485
00:27:23,920 --> 00:27:27,560
Speaker 1: you do that. You call me back. Will you want

486
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:32,280
Speaker 1: to be on the heat or control leg the orange

487
00:27:32,320 --> 00:27:35,440
Speaker 1: orange orange because Peak sees it and then orange white

488
00:27:35,440 --> 00:27:39,720
Speaker 1: and gray white is what the control correct So slump

489
00:27:39,800 --> 00:27:44,040
Speaker 1: those two slump those two wires, the gray white cutting. Yeah,

490
00:27:44,040 --> 00:27:45,760
Speaker 1: you don't. You don't have the solder if you want to,

491
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:47,640
Speaker 1: just you want to just cut him and tie them

492
00:27:47,640 --> 00:27:52,320
Speaker 1: together for the purpose of this test. That's fine, all right,

493
00:27:52,520 --> 00:27:56,880
Speaker 1: all right, sounds good, you're sure, Dennis. I just want

494
00:27:56,880 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 1: to make sure positive. Okay, alright, you call me back

495
00:28:00,040 --> 00:28:02,200
Speaker 1: up them out if if it's still on the same side,

496
00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:05,760
Speaker 1: then we know it's upstren to the c M. Right.

497
00:28:07,200 --> 00:28:09,560
Speaker 1: It's if it follows the wire, then we know it's

498
00:28:09,560 --> 00:28:13,119
Speaker 1: the wire. Right, That's what we're trying to prove. All right,

499
00:28:13,160 --> 00:28:15,280
Speaker 1: Because I think you're gonna find I think I think

500
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:17,639
Speaker 1: you're gonna find it's not in the E c M.

501
00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:20,919
Speaker 1: I think you're gonna find it's in the wiring. And

502
00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,440
Speaker 1: then what I'm gonna do just run a new ground

503
00:28:22,520 --> 00:28:24,880
Speaker 1: wire down to the How you could do that? Sure

504
00:28:27,960 --> 00:28:30,800
Speaker 1: that in the wire looms the thing right? All right,

505
00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,879
Speaker 1: all right, I appreciate that. You're very welcome, Dennis. Good

506
00:28:34,960 --> 00:28:48,760
Speaker 1: look Zero, we're back right after this clocome back running

507
00:28:48,800 --> 00:28:50,840
Speaker 1: into the car. Doctor. You know, I'm reading this Wall

508
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:53,959
Speaker 1: Street Journal article. Uh there in the pause that we

509
00:28:53,960 --> 00:28:57,640
Speaker 1: were talking about, and it's an interesting statement. He's about

510
00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:00,000
Speaker 1: two paragraphs and the real purpose of higher fuel efficient

511
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:02,880
Speaker 1: and see standards is to impose an electric vehicle mandate

512
00:29:02,920 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: by regulatory Fiat because there's a little chance Congress will

513
00:29:06,120 --> 00:29:09,040
Speaker 1: enact legislation banning the sale of internal combustion vehicles. Yeah,

514
00:29:09,120 --> 00:29:11,400
Speaker 1: I can't see that ever happening. Um, how could they

515
00:29:11,440 --> 00:29:13,960
Speaker 1: do that? Meeting the news standards a fuel economy will

516
00:29:13,960 --> 00:29:16,320
Speaker 1: be a challenge for automakers to paraphrases. Through the first

517
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:20,200
Speaker 1: nine months, a sixty electric vehicles and plug and hybrids

518
00:29:20,240 --> 00:29:23,800
Speaker 1: were sold in the entire US. Sales in California buoyed

519
00:29:23,800 --> 00:29:28,520
Speaker 1: by state sub California buoyed by state subsidies. Subsidies accounted

520
00:29:28,760 --> 00:29:31,720
Speaker 1: for almost half of that total. By comparison, Ford Motor

521
00:29:31,720 --> 00:29:34,360
Speaker 1: Company sold about five hundred and thirty five thousand pickup

522
00:29:34,400 --> 00:29:37,720
Speaker 1: trucks during the same nine month period. So you know

523
00:29:38,520 --> 00:29:41,520
Speaker 1: the issue as I read this article that they're gonna

524
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:42,880
Speaker 1: come up with him. By the way, we had research.

525
00:29:42,960 --> 00:29:46,240
Speaker 1: Kathy pulls some numbers. Uh, there are EV tax credits

526
00:29:46,280 --> 00:29:48,240
Speaker 1: currently out there. UM. Some of them are in the

527
00:29:48,240 --> 00:29:50,920
Speaker 1: Build Back Better Bill. Again, trying not to be political,

528
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,760
Speaker 1: I'm just telling you what what the news is, UM.

529
00:29:53,800 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: But they are in the Build Back Better bill. There

530
00:29:55,520 --> 00:29:58,120
Speaker 1: are some EV tax credits in there. UM. There's up

531
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:01,360
Speaker 1: to a twelve thousand and cent if UM on electric

532
00:30:01,440 --> 00:30:04,960
Speaker 1: vehicles available if the bill passes, and there are some currently.

533
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: There are some other uh you know, UM tax and

534
00:30:08,560 --> 00:30:11,520
Speaker 1: centers for electric vehicles currently UM and acted. You can

535
00:30:11,600 --> 00:30:13,560
Speaker 1: you know read it. I think it's fueled dout Economy

536
00:30:13,600 --> 00:30:17,440
Speaker 1: dot gov where they're talking about it. So but clearly

537
00:30:18,040 --> 00:30:21,959
Speaker 1: the UM uh, the issues with evs are coming about.

538
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,280
Speaker 1: UM as far as yes, there are some, there are

539
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,600
Speaker 1: tax credits available for these. And listen, you've got to

540
00:30:27,600 --> 00:30:30,280
Speaker 1: be aware of what's going on. They're they're making major changes.

541
00:30:30,280 --> 00:30:31,840
Speaker 1: I'm not saying good or bad. I'm just telling you

542
00:30:31,880 --> 00:30:34,560
Speaker 1: what I'm reading. And uh, you know, don't stick your

543
00:30:34,600 --> 00:30:37,080
Speaker 1: head in the sand. Uh, use it to use it

544
00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,640
Speaker 1: to absorb what's going on out there. Um. The article

545
00:30:40,640 --> 00:30:43,440
Speaker 1: continues that there's a cost factor. Electric vehicles are more

546
00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:46,920
Speaker 1: expensive than internal combustion vehicles. Hey, the article said it.

547
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:49,680
Speaker 1: I didn't. The average electric vehicles sold for about fifty

548
00:30:49,720 --> 00:30:52,320
Speaker 1: six thousand dollars in September of last year, eleven thousand

549
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,560
Speaker 1: dollars more than the average internal combustion vehicle. Electric vehicle

550
00:30:55,600 --> 00:30:59,600
Speaker 1: prices have been increasing, not decreasing, as many proponents predicted. Tesla,

551
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:02,200
Speaker 1: which accounts for more than half of all EV sales,

552
00:31:02,440 --> 00:31:05,040
Speaker 1: has raised prices on some of its models three times

553
00:31:05,080 --> 00:31:07,800
Speaker 1: this year. This is this was last year. Now one.

554
00:31:08,080 --> 00:31:11,200
Speaker 1: Growing electric vehicle sales worldwide, and supply constraints are causing

555
00:31:11,240 --> 00:31:14,000
Speaker 1: material prices to increase. The Price for lithium, a key

556
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:17,960
Speaker 1: component electric vehicle batteries, has increased in the last year.

557
00:31:19,080 --> 00:31:21,640
Speaker 1: Huh look at that. I mean things are going up,

558
00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:24,080
Speaker 1: things are coasting more, and you know, and then then

559
00:31:24,080 --> 00:31:26,240
Speaker 1: we've got another article here that Tesla has recalled a

560
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:28,479
Speaker 1: half a million electric cars. Have you heard about that? Uh,

561
00:31:28,560 --> 00:31:30,360
Speaker 1: this just came out towards the end of last year,

562
00:31:30,640 --> 00:31:34,040
Speaker 1: Tesla's recording four and seventy model three model less electric

563
00:31:34,040 --> 00:31:36,880
Speaker 1: cars for review camera and trunk issues that increase the

564
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:38,800
Speaker 1: risk of crashing. You know, you didn't hear a lot

565
00:31:38,800 --> 00:31:40,400
Speaker 1: about this. I didn't. I didn't see a lot of

566
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,720
Speaker 1: play on this in the media and the news, and

567
00:31:42,800 --> 00:31:45,360
Speaker 1: I just felt like, you know, we don't want to

568
00:31:45,400 --> 00:31:47,240
Speaker 1: talk about it, like we mentioned it and it was

569
00:31:47,280 --> 00:31:49,760
Speaker 1: gone from the national scene. But if this was a

570
00:31:49,800 --> 00:31:51,880
Speaker 1: domestic if this was a Ford to GM or a

571
00:31:51,960 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: Chrysler or whatever, we'd be all over this for days

572
00:31:54,480 --> 00:31:57,480
Speaker 1: and days and days. I don't get it. It's you know, look,

573
00:31:58,280 --> 00:32:01,960
Speaker 1: I think there is purpose clearly to electric vehicles. I

574
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:04,120
Speaker 1: think there's there's a reason. I think there's a place

575
00:32:04,160 --> 00:32:06,320
Speaker 1: for them. I think, you know, as I said continuously,

576
00:32:06,600 --> 00:32:10,920
Speaker 1: root vehicles. You know, um uh ups, male FedEx the

577
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:13,920
Speaker 1: vehicles that are driven every day over specified routes. But

578
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,360
Speaker 1: I think as a be all, end all solution. Um

579
00:32:17,440 --> 00:32:19,520
Speaker 1: where was I reading it? And again it came out

580
00:32:19,560 --> 00:32:21,440
Speaker 1: again this week and I thought we posted it to

581
00:32:21,440 --> 00:32:24,959
Speaker 1: the Facebook page talk about the the cost of and

582
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,800
Speaker 1: the price of lithium and oh is national Geographic National Geographic.

583
00:32:29,800 --> 00:32:32,840
Speaker 1: What a bunch of radicals they are right um talking

584
00:32:32,880 --> 00:32:37,600
Speaker 1: about the constraints and the problems with rare materials required

585
00:32:37,600 --> 00:32:40,280
Speaker 1: and where they're coming from. For uh uh, you know

586
00:32:40,320 --> 00:32:43,440
Speaker 1: the construction of batteries and the lithium does come from China.

587
00:32:43,560 --> 00:32:45,240
Speaker 1: Read that in the article too. That's a whole another

588
00:32:46,080 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: I'm gonna have to get political, Tom, I'm gonna throw

589
00:32:47,880 --> 00:32:50,440
Speaker 1: my hat in the ring. Ron for President ronanading the

590
00:32:50,440 --> 00:32:54,000
Speaker 1: card doctor zero zero. We're back right after this. Don't

591
00:32:54,000 --> 00:33:04,680
Speaker 1: go away, welcome back, run any card off. You know,

592
00:33:04,960 --> 00:33:07,480
Speaker 1: there's a method to my madness and I realized it's

593
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:09,760
Speaker 1: And I love some of the questions on Facebook. We

594
00:33:09,880 --> 00:33:13,040
Speaker 1: just had one from Decimon and Ron. You didn't ask

595
00:33:13,040 --> 00:33:15,200
Speaker 1: the guy with the ninety two wish Bronco if he

596
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:17,160
Speaker 1: had checked for any code. No, I didn't, And you

597
00:33:17,200 --> 00:33:21,640
Speaker 1: know why, because an older vehicle like that, I'd be

598
00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,720
Speaker 1: shocked if that vehicle didn't have some sort of fault

599
00:33:23,720 --> 00:33:26,000
Speaker 1: codes in it. And before we go running after codes

600
00:33:26,040 --> 00:33:28,200
Speaker 1: on an older vehicle like that, I want to look

601
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,640
Speaker 1: at the basics because I want to know that all

602
00:33:30,680 --> 00:33:32,680
Speaker 1: the grounds are there. I want to know that the

603
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:35,480
Speaker 1: grounds are good, clean and tight, and I want to

604
00:33:35,480 --> 00:33:37,720
Speaker 1: just look at some of the obvious faults and failures.

605
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:41,080
Speaker 1: Let's see what's there, clear everything out, and then start over.

606
00:33:41,080 --> 00:33:43,400
Speaker 1: When he calls back, trust me, I'll mention it to

607
00:33:43,480 --> 00:33:45,960
