00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:45,840
Speaker 1: How many? Not you and I my wife and I

33
00:01:46,280 --> 00:01:49,560
Speaker 1: UM not to confuse everybody, but it's it's it's a

34
00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:51,560
Speaker 1: tough program, right to become a vet. I know we're

35
00:01:51,600 --> 00:01:54,880
Speaker 1: rough topic here, but well, it is a tough Prora.

36
00:01:55,000 --> 00:01:58,160
Speaker 1: It is a it's a rough program. You have to

37
00:01:58,200 --> 00:02:01,720
Speaker 1: consider that there were fifteen hundred applicants and there are

38
00:02:01,760 --> 00:02:06,160
Speaker 1: only ninety seats. So uh, and you know you have

39
00:02:06,240 --> 00:02:09,280
Speaker 1: to go through undergrad, which is you know, four years,

40
00:02:09,360 --> 00:02:11,919
Speaker 1: and plus you have to take certain prerequisites. In her

41
00:02:12,600 --> 00:02:15,640
Speaker 1: last three years of school of undergrad, she was taking

42
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:18,480
Speaker 1: twenty two credit hours per semester and the normal loadus

43
00:02:18,639 --> 00:02:23,400
Speaker 1: twelve to fifteen. And uh, then she was accepted at

44
00:02:23,400 --> 00:02:27,520
Speaker 1: Tufts and we know it's been four years of medical school.

45
00:02:27,560 --> 00:02:30,160
Speaker 1: There was it tough at TOUGHS. I guess that's how

46
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:33,160
Speaker 1: they got their name. Yeah, exactly. Well, you know it's

47
00:02:33,160 --> 00:02:36,240
Speaker 1: funny they have said that this is the this class

48
00:02:37,280 --> 00:02:40,200
Speaker 1: is the smartest one they've ever had a Toughs and

49
00:02:41,000 --> 00:02:44,040
Speaker 1: they don't have anybody who's under like a grade point

50
00:02:44,080 --> 00:02:48,880
Speaker 1: average of three in that class. Yeah, it's like, so,

51
00:02:49,080 --> 00:02:52,800
Speaker 1: so your daughter takes after your wife exactly and looks

52
00:02:52,840 --> 00:02:56,800
Speaker 1: and brains. I was just checking to be sure she

53
00:02:56,840 --> 00:02:59,359
Speaker 1: certainly doesn't have anything to do with me. Right, well too,

54
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:03,480
Speaker 1: sure she got well. Um, And as a result of that,

Speaker 1: of take it from there. And you know, tom as

103
00:05:10,200 --> 00:05:12,120
Speaker 1: long as we're talking about changes to the show, I

104
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:15,520
Speaker 1: didn't tell you this, but I think I want to

105
00:05:15,560 --> 00:05:18,839
Speaker 1: start to do and after and I'm springing this on

106
00:05:18,920 --> 00:05:20,760
Speaker 1: Tom right here on live radio. I haven't even told

107
00:05:20,760 --> 00:05:24,679
Speaker 1: them this yet. So I want to do maybe once

108
00:05:24,720 --> 00:05:27,360
Speaker 1: a month or twice a month. I want to do

109
00:05:27,520 --> 00:05:32,680
Speaker 1: a thirty minute podcast only version of the show, no production.

110
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 1: Talk for thirty minutes, find interesting things in the industry,

111
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:40,800
Speaker 1: find things, and it's gonna be a very intimate, casual

112
00:05:41,520 --> 00:05:44,760
Speaker 1: type of conversation. It's more of a talking about experience. Yeah,

113
00:05:44,839 --> 00:05:48,000
Speaker 1: I just I've got a couple of things in mind. Um.

114
00:05:48,040 --> 00:05:51,760
Speaker 1: We actually research Kathy God bless her found an in

115
00:05:52,120 --> 00:05:55,359
Speaker 1: a way to get ahold of Elon musk Uh. There's

116
00:05:55,360 --> 00:05:57,320
Speaker 1: a there's a process you have to go through. So

117
00:05:57,360 --> 00:06:00,160
Speaker 1: we're in the process of drafting a letter and was

118
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:02,200
Speaker 1: thinking if we could get Mr Musk up here, we

119
00:06:02,240 --> 00:06:04,760
Speaker 1: would interview him for the live show and then maybe

120
00:06:04,760 --> 00:06:07,200
Speaker 1: I could get them, you know, fifteen minutes on the

121
00:06:07,240 --> 00:06:09,640
Speaker 1: side and have that conversation, you know, the tough questions

122
00:06:10,120 --> 00:06:12,440
Speaker 1: that everybody wants to hear, that kind of thing. Man,

123
00:06:12,520 --> 00:06:14,320
Speaker 1: And I've got others. I've got other things. I think

124
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:15,880
Speaker 1: we need to expand the show a little bit and

125
00:06:15,920 --> 00:06:18,599
Speaker 1: have a live and a podcast version, and you know,

126
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,440
Speaker 1: I'm trying to play around with you, just get more

127
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:23,760
Speaker 1: information out there. You know. It's it's I talked about

128
00:06:23,760 --> 00:06:26,400
Speaker 1: it last hour where I was a little annoyed with

129
00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:28,720
Speaker 1: a s C because they sent out an email this

130
00:06:28,800 --> 00:06:32,480
Speaker 1: week talking about doing a webinar for mechanics four o'clock

131
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:36,279
Speaker 1: on a Friday afternoon. You know, that's the witching hour.

132
00:06:36,400 --> 00:06:38,200
Speaker 1: You don't do anything at four o'clock on a Friday

133
00:06:38,240 --> 00:06:40,640
Speaker 1: after except get the cars done and go home. That's

134
00:06:40,680 --> 00:06:45,279
Speaker 1: the week. And I called up someone that I consider

135
00:06:45,480 --> 00:06:49,599
Speaker 1: very knowledgeable about the industry, Chris Lewis. He's the director

136
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:52,200
Speaker 1: of training for the Automotive Training Group a t G. Uh.

137
00:06:52,240 --> 00:06:55,359
Speaker 1: He's a national sales director, national training director, I should

138
00:06:55,360 --> 00:06:58,120
Speaker 1: say national training director. And we had some comments and

139
00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:00,839
Speaker 1: thoughts about it, and you know, I said, how I

140
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:03,120
Speaker 1: wonder how interesting it would be for the listeners to

141
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:06,880
Speaker 1: hear this, you know, the back room chatter that makes

142
00:07:06,920 --> 00:07:10,440
Speaker 1: this work, uh, the after hour stuff. So um uh,

143
00:07:10,480 --> 00:07:11,880
Speaker 1: you know, we're gonna do a little something. Maybe that's

144
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:15,120
Speaker 1: what it's called. Maybe it's the Car Doctor after Hours podcast.

145
00:07:15,160 --> 00:07:17,560
Speaker 1: So we're working towards that. So stay with us and

146
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:19,560
Speaker 1: we'll try and make this even more interesting. If we

147
00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:21,800
Speaker 1: can possibly do that, Let's get over to Alex in

148
00:07:21,800 --> 00:07:26,200
Speaker 1: New Jersey, seventeen Chrysler Pacific and some questions about transmission fluid. Alex,

149

00:07:52,400 --> 00:07:54,200
Speaker 1: has a heart of twelve k on. It runs great,

156
00:07:54,840 --> 00:07:57,720
Speaker 1: but if you look at the manual, it says nothing

157
00:07:58,120 --> 00:08:01,200
Speaker 1: about changing the transition fluid. I called it. The dealer

158
00:08:01,640 --> 00:08:03,560
Speaker 1: they went to said not to change it. I went

159
00:08:03,640 --> 00:08:07,440
Speaker 1: to called Chrysler. They're telling me, uh, don't change the

160
00:08:07,480 --> 00:08:10,400
Speaker 1: oil unless there's actually something wrong, which I saw. I

161
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:13,080
Speaker 1: sound a little bit bizarre. Um So, I wanted to

162
00:08:13,080 --> 00:08:14,520
Speaker 1: get your opinion. I want to keep this car for

163
00:08:14,520 --> 00:08:17,800
Speaker 1: a long time. I want to go and I drive

164
00:08:17,840 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 1: a lot. I have a heart of twelve kN it,

165
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:21,880
Speaker 1: so I'm driving this car. I want to know, like

166
00:08:22,320 --> 00:08:24,000
Speaker 1: do I force it? Do I just go in and

167
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,080
Speaker 1: have the transigen oil change in this. This is a

168
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:31,640
Speaker 1: mine speed transition. This is ZF fluid. This is this

169
00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:35,880
Speaker 1: is what we consider European style fluid found in BMW, Mercedes,

170
00:08:36,360 --> 00:08:38,760
Speaker 1: all the high line cars. This is you know when

171
00:08:38,920 --> 00:08:43,360
Speaker 1: Chrysler was Mercedes influenced and they kind of continued in

172
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:46,679
Speaker 1: that direction. Uh. You know, we get this call a

173
00:08:46,679 --> 00:08:49,800
Speaker 1: lot both here and at the shop. And you know,

174
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:53,559
Speaker 1: what I see the European shops doing is the Mercedes,

175
00:08:53,600 --> 00:08:56,560
Speaker 1: the BMW shops. What I see them doing is they're

176
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:59,200
Speaker 1: changing the fluid at the hundred thousand mile mark between

177
00:08:59,200 --> 00:09:03,800
Speaker 1: eighty and is the number I hear most common. And yeah,

178
00:09:03,800 --> 00:09:06,520
Speaker 1: I get it. Chrysler is concerned about a couple of things.

179
00:09:06,600 --> 00:09:09,080
Speaker 1: Number One, they're trying to create a maintenance free, never needs,

180
00:09:09,120 --> 00:09:12,040
Speaker 1: never breaks kind of automobile. See you buy another one.

181
00:09:12,640 --> 00:09:18,400
Speaker 1: And they're also concerned about it being done properly, and

182
00:09:18,600 --> 00:09:21,080
Speaker 1: that is an issue. There's a lot of there's a

183
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:24,360
Speaker 1: lot of mistakes being made out there, simple things like

184
00:09:24,440 --> 00:09:28,080
Speaker 1: improper fluid services, and that's what generates the bad press

185
00:09:28,120 --> 00:09:31,480
Speaker 1: for car companies, Chrysler among them. You know, they're all

186
00:09:31,760 --> 00:09:33,439
Speaker 1: worried about that. To tell you, the truth. One of

187
00:09:33,440 --> 00:09:36,840
Speaker 1: the reasons dipsticks disappeared from transmissions and some of the

188
00:09:36,880 --> 00:09:39,320
Speaker 1: other engine functions and they try to make it more

189
00:09:39,600 --> 00:09:43,840
Speaker 1: inaccessible is people just put the wrong fluid in. And

190
00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,560
Speaker 1: sometimes it's just pigheadedness and being stubborn, and sometimes it's

191
00:09:47,600 --> 00:09:51,440
Speaker 1: just lack of knowledge. So you know, back to your question,

192
00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,640
Speaker 1: what would I do I change the fluid? You know

193
00:09:54,880 --> 00:09:58,400
Speaker 1: I would. I would change the fluid. If if changing

194
00:09:58,440 --> 00:10:01,520
Speaker 1: the fluid creates a pro problem, then I think that

195
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:04,240
Speaker 1: was a problem about to happen anyway. Um, at the

196
00:10:04,360 --> 00:10:06,040
Speaker 1: very least, I think you're gonna see the color of

197
00:10:06,080 --> 00:10:07,800
Speaker 1: the fluid change. I bet to the old fluid is

198
00:10:07,800 --> 00:10:10,280
Speaker 1: a discolored fluid. You know, I don't care how good

199
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:13,280
Speaker 1: the fluid has made. It's an automatic transmission. Heat takes

200
00:10:13,280 --> 00:10:16,280
Speaker 1: its wear and tear. It loses its characteristics, it loses

201
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:19,360
Speaker 1: its properties. The shop that does it needs to have

202
00:10:19,440 --> 00:10:25,840
Speaker 1: the ability to do transmission characteristic learning resets. Okay, because

203
00:10:25,920 --> 00:10:29,760
Speaker 1: it's there's gonna be certain, Um that car is picked up.

204
00:10:29,880 --> 00:10:32,640
Speaker 1: I'll say it like this. Any bad habits that have

205
00:10:32,679 --> 00:10:35,200
Speaker 1: been created over the past hundred and twelve thousand miles,

206
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: So things need to be reset and retrained properly. But

207
00:10:39,920 --> 00:10:42,560
Speaker 1: you know the fluid's lifetime. You know what the lifetime is,

208
00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:47,679
Speaker 1: Alex when the transmission stops um, you know it's it's

209
00:10:47,920 --> 00:10:50,360
Speaker 1: and and and that's really it. You know, there's a

210
00:10:50,440 --> 00:10:55,920
Speaker 1: there's a line there walking here about you know, creating

211
00:10:55,920 --> 00:11:01,439
Speaker 1: the maintenance free car and repair, airing and maintaining something.

212
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:06,160
Speaker 1: So I think, you know, the consumer is obligated to

213
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:09,839
Speaker 1: kind of read between the lines. What makes sense? Where

214
00:11:09,840 --> 00:11:13,160
Speaker 1: are the boundaries? Where are the lines? I read an

215
00:11:13,240 --> 00:11:14,480
Speaker 1: article and I have it in front of me here

216
00:11:14,520 --> 00:11:17,520
Speaker 1: somewhere on the pile. Kathy gave it to US research, Kathy,

217
00:11:17,600 --> 00:11:21,280
Speaker 1: and it talks about, so we need lithium for electric cars. Right?

218
00:11:22,480 --> 00:11:24,680
Speaker 1: Do you know where the biggest source of lithium is

219
00:11:24,920 --> 00:11:33,520
Speaker 1: in the United States? Had any? Nevada? But the problem

220
00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:36,040
Speaker 1: is in Nevada. Let me find this real quick before

221
00:11:36,080 --> 00:11:39,640
Speaker 1: we go to break um. In Nevada, there's something called

222
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:44,240
Speaker 1: teams t I e h M. Team's buckwheat, but it's

223
00:11:44,240 --> 00:11:47,160
Speaker 1: only found in Nevada. And now the problem is if

224
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:49,280
Speaker 1: we go mind all the lithium and Nevada that they

225
00:11:49,320 --> 00:11:52,199
Speaker 1: claim elon musk among them, saying that there's enough there

226
00:11:52,200 --> 00:11:55,680
Speaker 1: to keep us in electric vehicles for for generations. That

227
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:58,360
Speaker 1: if we go and mind all the lithium will kill

228
00:11:58,400 --> 00:12:01,080
Speaker 1: the buckwheat. And now the our mentalists are saying we

229
00:12:01,160 --> 00:12:04,600
Speaker 1: can't extinct the species in the search for lithium to

230
00:12:04,640 --> 00:12:07,760
Speaker 1: clean up the planet and make it go green. It

231
00:12:07,800 --> 00:12:11,280
Speaker 1: depends on how tasting it. But there. Yeah, but there's

232
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:15,200
Speaker 1: an insanity to it, you know what I'm saying. There's

233
00:12:15,200 --> 00:12:18,040
Speaker 1: an insanity to trans fluid never needs to be changed

234
00:12:18,480 --> 00:12:20,439
Speaker 1: until until the trans fails, and then we need to

235
00:12:20,520 --> 00:12:23,240
Speaker 1: change it. So drive it until it breaks. Let's go

236
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:27,800
Speaker 1: mind all the lithium and kill off a species. Uh.

237
00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,360
Speaker 1: You know, everything has its purpose. I think life is

238
00:12:30,360 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: about checks and balances, and you've got to figure out

239
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,920
Speaker 1: how to interpret them. Because if you follow everybody's lead,

240
00:12:35,800 --> 00:12:38,280
Speaker 1: I don't know, you become one of the herd. So

241
00:12:38,640 --> 00:12:41,280
Speaker 1: just my two SoCs. So if I can get the

242
00:12:41,679 --> 00:12:45,679
Speaker 1: cross the guy to do it, um, they'll look for

243
00:12:45,960 --> 00:12:48,520
Speaker 1: a European shop to do Yeah, go talk to a

244
00:12:48,559 --> 00:12:51,400
Speaker 1: European a BMW or Mercedes guy. But I bet listen

245
00:12:51,440 --> 00:12:53,800
Speaker 1: you wave cash in front of the Chrysler dealer, they'll

246
00:12:53,800 --> 00:12:56,120
Speaker 1: do it. So listen, I want to get my trans service.

247
00:12:56,200 --> 00:13:00,200
Speaker 1: I don't care see what they say, all right, don't

248
00:13:00,200 --> 00:13:02,840
Speaker 1: be shocked at the price of fluid. I I think

249
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:05,240
Speaker 1: it's crazy numbers. The last time I looked, I'm gonna

250
00:13:05,240 --> 00:13:08,680
Speaker 1: say it's fifteen to twenty bucks a court. It's it's

251
00:13:08,800 --> 00:13:12,160
Speaker 1: it's some insane price. But that's you know, listen, we're

252
00:13:12,160 --> 00:13:15,440
Speaker 1: in a whole brave new world. But um, you know,

253
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:17,520
Speaker 1: tell the Chrystloku. I pretend the trans broken, that you

254
00:13:17,559 --> 00:13:19,880
Speaker 1: need to get it changed, so let us know what happens.

255
00:13:19,920 --> 00:13:21,360
Speaker 1: I'd be curious to hear what you pay for it

256
00:13:21,600 --> 00:13:23,640
Speaker 1: and how it works out, but I would get it done. Yes,

257
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:26,840
Speaker 1: So um, great call outs. I appreciate it. I'm ron

258
00:13:26,960 --> 00:13:29,080
Speaker 1: Ani in the car doctor. I'll be back right after this.

259
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,679
Speaker 1: Whether it's a little red Corvette or you go, you've

260
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,720
Speaker 1: come to the right place to get that car fixed.

261
00:13:44,960 --> 00:13:49,839
Speaker 1: Ron and any in the car doctor. Five zero zero zero.

262
00:13:50,120 --> 00:13:53,000
Speaker 1: Now back to Ron. Hey, let me um, let me

263
00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:57,000
Speaker 1: continue about that conversation about that article. Uh teams buckwheat

264
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:59,000
Speaker 1: has yellow flowers. I'm reading an article that came out

265
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,959
Speaker 1: of a CNN has yellow flower stands about five or

266
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,720
Speaker 1: six inches tall, grows on about ten acres in the

267
00:14:04,760 --> 00:14:07,920
Speaker 1: Silver Peak range of southwest Nevada was discovered in is

268
00:14:07,920 --> 00:14:10,600
Speaker 1: one of two or five species of buckwheat. There are

269
00:14:10,600 --> 00:14:13,040
Speaker 1: eighties species of buckwheat Nevada, and eleven are exclusive to

270
00:14:13,080 --> 00:14:16,520
Speaker 1: the state. Experts say teams buckwheat can grow nowhere else

271
00:14:16,559 --> 00:14:19,600
Speaker 1: in the world. Building the mind is likely to trigger extinction,

272
00:14:22,560 --> 00:14:25,120
Speaker 1: you know it just it's it's it seems like for

273
00:14:25,240 --> 00:14:28,560
Speaker 1: every step forward, there's three steps back, or there's something

274
00:14:28,600 --> 00:14:30,400
Speaker 1: to block it, and there's an argument to be made,

275
00:14:30,440 --> 00:14:34,680
Speaker 1: and um uh, you know so, and it doesn't seem

276
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:36,400
Speaker 1: like in the article as I was reading through and

277
00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:38,880
Speaker 1: I read through it a couple of times that, um,

278
00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,680
Speaker 1: you know, it doesn't seem to have this this place

279
00:14:42,800 --> 00:14:45,800
Speaker 1: other than it shows that they're trying to figure out

280
00:14:45,800 --> 00:14:47,760
Speaker 1: why buckwheats the only thing that can grow in this

281
00:14:47,800 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 1: portion of Nevada. And it would teach people, for you

282
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,880
Speaker 1: know it, teach people about planting species of plants in

283
00:14:56,760 --> 00:15:01,920
Speaker 1: dangerous areas. However, the article puts it uh uh. Patrick Donaldy,

284
00:15:02,040 --> 00:15:05,240
Speaker 1: Nevada state director of the Center for Biological Diversity, told

285
00:15:05,280 --> 00:15:07,560
Speaker 1: CNN his group is ready for years of fighting in

286
00:15:07,640 --> 00:15:10,960
Speaker 1: court to protect teams buck wheat. He believes society needs

287
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,680
Speaker 1: to think more critically about the appropriate site for a

288
00:15:13,720 --> 00:15:17,080
Speaker 1: lithium mine and the value of biodiversity. Well, but how

289
00:15:17,120 --> 00:15:19,280
Speaker 1: do you change the location of the mind if the

290
00:15:19,320 --> 00:15:21,800
Speaker 1: mind is where the buckwheat is and that's the only

291
00:15:21,800 --> 00:15:24,680
Speaker 1: place else. Um, does this mean they're positioning us that

292
00:15:24,720 --> 00:15:26,320
Speaker 1: we're gonna go out of country now to find the

293
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:29,920
Speaker 1: lithium that we could get right here in the States. Uh?

294
00:15:29,960 --> 00:15:31,640
Speaker 1: And you guys thought when we got rid of gasoline

295
00:15:31,640 --> 00:15:34,280
Speaker 1: powered cars it was gonna get easier. So no such luck.

296
00:15:34,480 --> 00:15:38,200
Speaker 1: Dave green Bay, Wisconsin, twenty one Equinox starts stop technology questions.

297
00:15:38,280 --> 00:15:41,040
Speaker 1: Let's go there and see what's on his mind? Help

298
00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:44,400
Speaker 1: us my calling Aaron Rodgers and tell him to come back.

299
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:49,720
Speaker 1: How can I help you, David? That aside, I have

300
00:15:50,560 --> 00:15:53,640
Speaker 1: my second lease of an equinoxis is a twenty one model,

301
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:57,880
Speaker 1: and I have above got in februarys on it. And

302
00:15:57,960 --> 00:16:00,720
Speaker 1: this is a feature that shuts the jin down when

303
00:16:00,720 --> 00:16:05,160
Speaker 1: you are stopping at a stop light and other ridiculous places. Well,

304
00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:08,640
Speaker 1: what's happening now as I go into my garage and

305
00:16:08,680 --> 00:16:11,080
Speaker 1: I just coasting it with my foot on the brake

306
00:16:11,200 --> 00:16:14,160
Speaker 1: and until I get to a point where I wanted

307
00:16:14,200 --> 00:16:17,200
Speaker 1: to stop inside the garage. Well, it seems like as

308
00:16:17,200 --> 00:16:22,600
Speaker 1: I'm stopping the car, the engine quits. But then when

309
00:16:22,600 --> 00:16:26,400
Speaker 1: I put the shift the shift lever into park, it

310
00:16:26,520 --> 00:16:35,760
Speaker 1: starts up again. That's normal, It's normal. Say it again, Dave,

311
00:16:35,800 --> 00:16:40,600
Speaker 1: what's it doing. I'm coasting into my garage with my

312
00:16:40,640 --> 00:16:43,440
Speaker 1: foot on the brake and I'm just kind of easing

313
00:16:43,480 --> 00:16:46,760
Speaker 1: into where i wanted position in the garage and then

314
00:16:46,760 --> 00:16:51,080
Speaker 1: I'll stop it, and that I want to go into

315
00:16:51,200 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: park and just leave it there then turn the car off. Well,

316
00:16:54,640 --> 00:16:58,360
Speaker 1: it shuts off as I put the brake pedal down

317
00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,560
Speaker 1: to completely stop the car. Then I'm shifting in the

318
00:17:01,640 --> 00:17:07,639
Speaker 1: park and it restarts because it's going into it thinks

319
00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:11,120
Speaker 1: you're approaching a stop sign or traffic light, and it's

320
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:17,560
Speaker 1: going into a start stop condition. Because you also, you

321
00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:20,240
Speaker 1: can't count on start stop to shut the vehicle off.

322
00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,359
Speaker 1: You're putting it in park, You're still gonna have to

323
00:17:22,440 --> 00:17:24,600
Speaker 1: hit the off button. This is a button car, not

324
00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,959
Speaker 1: a key car. Right, You're still gonna have to hit

325
00:17:28,000 --> 00:17:31,520
Speaker 1: the button to turn the car off. Yes, I know that,

326
00:17:31,640 --> 00:17:34,879
Speaker 1: but why does it stop? I haven't I really just

327
00:17:34,960 --> 00:17:37,800
Speaker 1: been coasting because it doesn't know you're pulling it. It

328
00:17:37,840 --> 00:17:40,000
Speaker 1: doesn't know you're pulling into your garage. It thinks it's

329
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:46,680
Speaker 1: approaching a stop sign. How slow are you going? Whatever

330
00:17:46,720 --> 00:17:49,960
Speaker 1: the engines is turning off at I'm just letting my

331
00:17:50,200 --> 00:17:53,080
Speaker 1: letting that car coast on its own until I get

332
00:17:53,119 --> 00:17:55,119
Speaker 1: to the position that I want to stop it. What

333
00:17:55,160 --> 00:17:57,040
Speaker 1: are you doing? Two miles an hour? Three miles an

334
00:17:57,080 --> 00:18:01,720
Speaker 1: hour starting at too probably one? Okay, Yeah, you're going

335
00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,480
Speaker 1: so slow. You know, if there was a fault in

336
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 1: the system, you'd have a warning light on the dash.

337
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:08,840
Speaker 1: I would tell you to stop by the dealer and

338
00:18:08,880 --> 00:18:10,439
Speaker 1: show it to them. But I think they're gonna come

339
00:18:10,440 --> 00:18:12,919
Speaker 1: back and tell you it's operating as designed and that

340
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:14,840
Speaker 1: there is no way to correct it. Then you don't

341
00:18:14,840 --> 00:18:16,040
Speaker 1: have to call me back, and I'll tell you how

342
00:18:16,040 --> 00:18:18,719
Speaker 1: we can defeat starts stuff. That's a different conversation. Let

343
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:20,320
Speaker 1: me know Dave called me back. I'm on an any

344
00:18:20,320 --> 00:18:22,159
Speaker 1: of the car doctor. I'll be back right after this.

345
00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:52,919
Speaker 1: Welcome back. We're on into the car doct Let's get

346
00:18:52,960 --> 00:18:55,080
Speaker 1: over to Nick and Missouri of two thousand, f one

347
00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,520
Speaker 1: fifty Nick, how can I help you today? Thanks for

348
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:01,520
Speaker 1: calling Alice really a problem, it's just a story. I

349
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:06,080
Speaker 1: thought you might enjoy it anytime, yes, sir, But I

350
00:19:06,119 --> 00:19:10,200
Speaker 1: got my my display line on my radio would come

351
00:19:10,200 --> 00:19:13,720
Speaker 1: on naturally, but they didn't go on beyond then come

352
00:19:13,760 --> 00:19:16,120
Speaker 1: on and go on and anyway, and then you could

353
00:19:16,119 --> 00:19:18,800
Speaker 1: tap on it sometime and that kept back on. But anyway,

354
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:21,640
Speaker 1: it finally went clear off. Well in the meantime while

355
00:19:21,760 --> 00:19:23,600
Speaker 1: tapping on it, I must to tap too hard in

356
00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,800
Speaker 1: the air back light up there to say wet off.

357
00:19:26,359 --> 00:19:28,320
Speaker 1: So I got on the internet and told Bayer Bank

358
00:19:28,480 --> 00:19:31,000
Speaker 1: lights license. So I got on the internet figured out

359
00:19:31,000 --> 00:19:33,760
Speaker 1: how to take that to while I added apart, I'd

360
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:36,000
Speaker 1: also been on the internet about to see how about

361
00:19:36,040 --> 00:19:38,879
Speaker 1: this display. So anyway, I got the light bulb and

362
00:19:38,920 --> 00:19:40,800
Speaker 1: face with oh, well, I got it apart, so I'll

363
00:19:40,840 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: just I just won't give it a show off. And

364
00:19:43,280 --> 00:19:46,320
Speaker 1: calling me an office would be an understatement. But anyway,

365
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: I pulled the circuit board down and they had said

366
00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:55,080
Speaker 1: something about sovereign some different different parts and and again,

367
00:19:55,480 --> 00:19:57,960
Speaker 1: and somebody looked at my soldering job and said, that's

368
00:19:57,960 --> 00:19:59,879
Speaker 1: the worst I've ever seen. I would take that as

369
00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:03,399
Speaker 1: a compliment. But anyway, I did the best to get

370
00:20:03,600 --> 00:20:05,960
Speaker 1: you know, I thought what they had experience. I put

371
00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:09,640
Speaker 1: it back together, started the key on the radio. Still

372
00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:12,560
Speaker 1: weren't thank goodness, but no display light. So well, okay,

373
00:20:12,640 --> 00:20:15,800
Speaker 1: nothing that game. Well, about ten days later or so

374
00:20:15,920 --> 00:20:17,720
Speaker 1: that I got to pick up more moren to go

375
00:20:17,760 --> 00:20:20,200
Speaker 1: to where it started. Bank there's a display light on.

376
00:20:20,720 --> 00:20:24,080
Speaker 1: Oh well cool, so anyway, but then in a couple

377
00:20:24,080 --> 00:20:29,400
Speaker 1: of hours and went off again. Well and so going

378
00:20:29,440 --> 00:20:33,639
Speaker 1: on the About two weeks later I pulled in and

379
00:20:33,680 --> 00:20:37,760
Speaker 1: draws one night and Bank it came on again, and

380
00:20:37,880 --> 00:20:41,040
Speaker 1: I thought that if I and so since then it's

381
00:20:41,080 --> 00:20:44,080
Speaker 1: been on. It's been on every since, and that's probably

382
00:20:44,080 --> 00:20:50,000
Speaker 1: didn't a month or more. Now I don't over what happened,

383
00:20:50,040 --> 00:20:52,920
Speaker 1: but because it never stayed on that long before when

384
00:20:52,920 --> 00:20:56,879
Speaker 1: it was coming on and going on, I guess I

385
00:20:56,920 --> 00:20:59,040
Speaker 1: guess if your question to me is why is that?

386
00:20:59,040 --> 00:21:01,920
Speaker 1: The question? Is? That is the question? Nick? You know,

387
00:21:02,880 --> 00:21:05,080
Speaker 1: um you ever you ever have a light bulb in

388
00:21:05,119 --> 00:21:06,760
Speaker 1: your house, You know that light bulb in the family

389
00:21:06,840 --> 00:21:11,920
Speaker 1: room that sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. Well,

390
00:21:12,240 --> 00:21:15,159
Speaker 1: filaments of filament brother depends on how it's laying across

391
00:21:15,160 --> 00:21:17,960
Speaker 1: the bulb. Is it making contact. Do we have power?

392
00:21:18,040 --> 00:21:20,879
Speaker 1: Do we have ground? What I would look at is,

393
00:21:21,480 --> 00:21:23,359
Speaker 1: you know, can you get to the back of the radio,

394
00:21:23,440 --> 00:21:28,719
Speaker 1: can you get the radio out? You know? If okay,

395
00:21:28,880 --> 00:21:31,080
Speaker 1: then you know, if if I would trace it out

396
00:21:31,080 --> 00:21:33,760
Speaker 1: on a wiring diagram, what's the power feed for the bulb?

397
00:21:34,040 --> 00:21:37,399
Speaker 1: And as long as that's a good solid connection, then

398
00:21:37,600 --> 00:21:40,000
Speaker 1: my next step if that's a straight run from and

399
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:42,000
Speaker 1: I don't think it is. I think that that wire

400
00:21:42,040 --> 00:21:44,760
Speaker 1: is going to be split off the harness that's gonna

401
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:47,359
Speaker 1: feed the rest of the instrument cluster bulbs. Uh, the

402
00:21:47,400 --> 00:21:49,520
Speaker 1: issue is gonna come down to a relosing power ground

403
00:21:49,600 --> 00:21:53,240
Speaker 1: or is in a bad bulb? So you know, do

404
00:21:53,359 --> 00:21:56,159
Speaker 1: we want to tap? Do we want to tap an

405
00:21:56,160 --> 00:22:00,439
Speaker 1: auxiliary bulb into the power feed for the radio bulb?

406
00:22:01,080 --> 00:22:04,600
Speaker 1: And see if if the auxiliary bulb you wire in

407
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,240
Speaker 1: that sticks out on the top of the radio temporarily,

408
00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,800
Speaker 1: if that's lit while the radio light is out, then

409
00:22:09,800 --> 00:22:12,400
Speaker 1: you know it's internal in the radio. At least you're

410
00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:17,600
Speaker 1: halfway there, right And then at that point I didn't

411
00:22:17,600 --> 00:22:19,800
Speaker 1: even know if there's any radio. I thought it was

412
00:22:19,840 --> 00:22:22,760
Speaker 1: a circuit board. That's what I didn't think. Now there

413
00:22:22,760 --> 00:22:25,000
Speaker 1: should be a board there. There should be some kind

414
00:22:25,040 --> 00:22:30,600
Speaker 1: of a backlit bulb in there. Um. But that's well,

415
00:22:30,600 --> 00:22:32,960
Speaker 1: and that's a that's a fair question. That's the second

416
00:22:33,520 --> 00:22:35,919
Speaker 1: that's the second point. I mean, how's that bullb lit up?

417
00:22:35,960 --> 00:22:37,960
Speaker 1: Or how's that radio lit up? But well, let me

418
00:22:37,960 --> 00:22:41,080
Speaker 1: say it like this, before you change the radio thinking

419
00:22:41,119 --> 00:22:44,600
Speaker 1: it's the radio. If that's your intention, I would I

420
00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:48,560
Speaker 1: would wire in an auxiliary bulb on the outside. If

421
00:22:48,600 --> 00:22:50,720
Speaker 1: the bulb is lit while the radio is out, then

422
00:22:50,760 --> 00:22:53,639
Speaker 1: you know it's internal in the radio. Then it's a

423
00:22:53,640 --> 00:22:55,280
Speaker 1: matter of do you want to send your radio out

424
00:22:55,280 --> 00:22:58,879
Speaker 1: and get it repaired? Yeah? I was thinking about the

425
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:03,520
Speaker 1: radio and have been on been on the internet garden stuff,

426
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:08,040
Speaker 1: think not getting one? But they were pretty extensive, well

427
00:23:08,240 --> 00:23:13,760
Speaker 1: and and and yeah. But you know, to my point, Nick,

428
00:23:13,840 --> 00:23:15,280
Speaker 1: do you want to spend a couple of two or

429
00:23:15,320 --> 00:23:17,080
Speaker 1: three hundred dollars whatever it is for a radio or

430
00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,240
Speaker 1: do you want to go down to your local outo

431
00:23:19,320 --> 00:23:22,800
Speaker 1: parts store get a You ever see what one side

432
00:23:22,840 --> 00:23:26,879
Speaker 1: market bulb looks like a little tiny bulb? All right,

433
00:23:26,960 --> 00:23:31,840
Speaker 1: go into it. You got a Radioto parts near you? Yeah, man,

434
00:23:33,000 --> 00:23:35,959
Speaker 1: all right? Going to your local Rallyoto parts tell them

435
00:23:36,000 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: you want a one ninety four side marker, bab and socket.

436
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:42,800
Speaker 1: When you see the bulb, you'll get it. You'll understand

437
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:45,280
Speaker 1: what I'm saying. One side is gonna be hot on

438
00:23:45,320 --> 00:23:48,520
Speaker 1: it a little bit. It's a little tiny ball. Yeah,

439
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:52,600
Speaker 1: it's a little tiny ball. I think I saw one

440
00:23:52,600 --> 00:23:54,480
Speaker 1: of those on the internet. In fact, I'm not sure

441
00:23:54,560 --> 00:23:56,800
Speaker 1: that that's not one thing that that's what's in that

442
00:23:56,880 --> 00:24:00,240
Speaker 1: air bag like that. It might be. And the idea

443
00:24:00,359 --> 00:24:03,240
Speaker 1: is you're gonna you're gonna wire in a one bulb

444
00:24:03,520 --> 00:24:07,000
Speaker 1: with a socket to the power feed going into that

445
00:24:07,119 --> 00:24:09,879
Speaker 1: radio for the display. You're gonna figure out which wire

446
00:24:09,960 --> 00:24:13,400
Speaker 1: is the wire that lights up the radio if if

447
00:24:13,480 --> 00:24:15,639
Speaker 1: you've got power to that ball, if that bulb is

448
00:24:15,720 --> 00:24:17,879
Speaker 1: lit when you create, you know your own ground and

449
00:24:17,920 --> 00:24:19,960
Speaker 1: you wire it into power. If that bulb was lit,

450
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:24,480
Speaker 1: when the radio display is out, guess what it's. It's

451
00:24:24,480 --> 00:24:27,280
Speaker 1: in the radio. And then at least you know you

452
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: want to you want to go and spend two ars

453
00:24:29,480 --> 00:24:31,200
Speaker 1: or whatever it is to replace the radio. At least

454
00:24:31,200 --> 00:24:34,240
Speaker 1: you know what you're spending money on. You've you've got

455
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:36,639
Speaker 1: to confirmed. I'm not going to do that. I'm not

456
00:24:36,680 --> 00:24:40,159
Speaker 1: gonna do that. Those radio works, it just doesn't have

457
00:24:40,320 --> 00:24:43,439
Speaker 1: to display, so I can before I send that kind

458
00:24:43,480 --> 00:24:46,680
Speaker 1: of money, I'll just go without a display. But right

459
00:24:46,720 --> 00:24:49,200
Speaker 1: now it's working and has been working for over a month,

460
00:24:49,440 --> 00:24:51,720
Speaker 1: and then never worked that long before when it was

461
00:24:51,760 --> 00:24:54,760
Speaker 1: going in and out. So if you know, I'm not

462
00:24:54,800 --> 00:25:01,320
Speaker 1: gonna do anything, it's low its hopefully right Lucky had

463
00:25:01,359 --> 00:25:04,000
Speaker 1: gotten the right spot, and I don't know, yeah, well,

464
00:25:04,080 --> 00:25:06,639
Speaker 1: and then the people and then the problem becomes, you know,

465
00:25:06,720 --> 00:25:09,320
Speaker 1: why did it why did it um all of a

466
00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:12,880
Speaker 1: sudden start to work when it didn't work before. So

467
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:17,280
Speaker 1: that's you know, that's that's that's part of the There

468
00:25:17,320 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 1: is a deal where the where the computer or circuit

469
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:23,920
Speaker 1: board would have reset itself for anything? Is it say

470
00:25:23,920 --> 00:25:27,560
Speaker 1: that again, there's nothing in the circuit board of the

471
00:25:27,640 --> 00:25:32,359
Speaker 1: radio that would have uh that length of time to

472
00:25:32,480 --> 00:25:36,040
Speaker 1: reset it for something else. Not not in not in

473
00:25:36,080 --> 00:25:39,119
Speaker 1: a twenty one year old vehicle. That the technology is

474
00:25:39,160 --> 00:25:42,119
Speaker 1: not that smart, not in a twenty one year old vehicle, um,

475
00:25:42,160 --> 00:25:44,119
Speaker 1: and not in a lot of newer vehicles. There's no

476
00:25:44,520 --> 00:25:47,199
Speaker 1: there's no technological reason why they would allow that to

477
00:25:47,280 --> 00:25:50,720
Speaker 1: do that. So but um, listen, drive on, maybe it'll

478
00:25:50,720 --> 00:25:52,159
Speaker 1: work for you. And if it doesn't, at least you

479
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:55,080
Speaker 1: know now now and I had to diagnose it, and um,

480
00:25:55,119 --> 00:25:56,919
Speaker 1: you know the procedure, so at least you'll know what

481
00:25:56,920 --> 00:25:59,240
Speaker 1: you're doing is right before you go out and spend

482
00:25:59,240 --> 00:26:01,640
Speaker 1: any extra money. Don't have to spend a five five

483
00:26:02,160 --> 00:26:04,800
Speaker 1: zero zero run any of the Car Doctor coming back

484
00:26:04,880 --> 00:26:14,920
Speaker 1: right after this's welcome back Running in the Car Doctor,

485
00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:18,479
Speaker 1: zero zero zero. Keep in mind, as we said at

486
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:19,919
Speaker 1: the beginning of the hour, we're gonna be doing a

487
00:26:19,960 --> 00:26:23,200
Speaker 1: tape to air show Wednesday night, East Coast time. Oh,

488
00:26:23,240 --> 00:26:25,520
Speaker 1: probably between the hours I'm looking at Tom nodis head,

489
00:26:25,520 --> 00:26:28,040
Speaker 1: probably between the hours of eight and ten, uh something

490
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:30,240
Speaker 1: like that. So if you call us at eight five

491
00:26:29,840 --> 00:26:33,959
Speaker 1: five zero zero before the next live show, you'll be

492
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:36,840
Speaker 1: in the next live show during our live taping mid week.

493
00:26:36,920 --> 00:26:40,440
Speaker 1: So Tom can go watch daughter Sarah become doctor Sarah.

494
00:26:40,520 --> 00:26:45,400
Speaker 1: Congratulations again out there, Um, proud Papa Tom and so

495
00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:48,840
Speaker 1: so great job. Let's go to Jerry in Kentucky. Oh

496
00:26:48,880 --> 00:26:51,920
Speaker 1: six Chevy Silverado. What's going on here? Jerry? Welcome aboard, sir.

497
00:26:52,119 --> 00:26:56,600
Speaker 1: How can I help? Thank you? First sound car? Um,

498
00:26:56,640 --> 00:27:00,320
Speaker 1: I put my cast into long my truck and zero

499
00:27:00,480 --> 00:27:03,919
Speaker 1: four or four nine, And I've had that fix before.

500
00:27:03,960 --> 00:27:06,360
Speaker 1: I remember seeing it because the first time that happened,

501
00:27:06,600 --> 00:27:09,000
Speaker 1: I had to replace the cancer of the regulator and

502
00:27:09,080 --> 00:27:11,640
Speaker 1: all that. Now this was only done about a year

503
00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:15,080
Speaker 1: and a half ago. Can I fix the thing myself

504
00:27:15,200 --> 00:27:17,719
Speaker 1: that You've got to get a meter? Don't you purchase

505
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:20,760
Speaker 1: the age on it? What kind of scantl do you have? Jerry?

506
00:27:22,560 --> 00:27:24,840
Speaker 1: I don't know the name brand. It's like, I don't

507
00:27:24,840 --> 00:27:26,840
Speaker 1: know fifty bucks on it? Can you can you do

508
00:27:26,920 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: bidirectional control with it? Is it? How fancy is it?

509
00:27:31,440 --> 00:27:37,360
Speaker 1: Probably could? So the problem here is if a four

510
00:27:37,440 --> 00:27:40,960
Speaker 1: or four nine is usually an issue with the canister

511
00:27:41,119 --> 00:27:45,840
Speaker 1: vent valve. Do you know EVAP systems work, Jerry, I

512
00:27:46,400 --> 00:27:49,520
Speaker 1: don't know that. That's what they explained to me when

513
00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:51,840
Speaker 1: they get it. All right, Do you do you have

514
00:27:51,840 --> 00:27:54,960
Speaker 1: a front door to your house? Yeah? Okay, you got

515
00:27:55,040 --> 00:27:58,600
Speaker 1: a backdoor? Yes? Good? Okay, you can now you can

516
00:27:58,680 --> 00:28:05,000
Speaker 1: understand how EVAP systems work. So if between the front

517
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:07,120
Speaker 1: door in the back door of your house, you put

518
00:28:07,800 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: a charcoal filter, all right to store fumes from the

519
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:16,600
Speaker 1: gas tank, which is located also in the house. All right,

520
00:28:16,960 --> 00:28:18,560
Speaker 1: you put a gas tank on the floor of the

521
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,920
Speaker 1: living room after Mom has done yelling at you. You'd

522
00:28:20,920 --> 00:28:22,600
Speaker 1: want to vent the fumes somewhere, so you put him

523
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:28,000
Speaker 1: inside this canister. Okay. At times you're gonna want to

524
00:28:28,119 --> 00:28:30,520
Speaker 1: let some fresh air come in and and and vent

525
00:28:30,560 --> 00:28:33,280
Speaker 1: the house. Right, So you're gonna open the front door.

526
00:28:34,520 --> 00:28:40,400
Speaker 1: That's your that's your canister vent. Okay. That's allowing fumes

527
00:28:40,520 --> 00:28:44,240
Speaker 1: out of the tank through the filter into the atmosphere

528
00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:47,400
Speaker 1: after they've been filtered and cleaned by the charcoal in

529
00:28:47,440 --> 00:28:52,080
Speaker 1: the canister. Right, you're with me. Sometimes you want to

530
00:28:52,080 --> 00:28:54,160
Speaker 1: send those fumes the other way, though, Sometimes you want

531
00:28:54,200 --> 00:28:56,640
Speaker 1: to send them to the engine to burn or to

532
00:28:56,680 --> 00:28:59,240
Speaker 1: go back through the engine. Right, So you'll open the

533
00:28:59,280 --> 00:29:03,920
Speaker 1: back door and purge the canister out through the engine

534
00:29:03,960 --> 00:29:09,640
Speaker 1: or out through the backyard. Right the way the computer

535
00:29:09,800 --> 00:29:12,400
Speaker 1: knows if it's opening purge or vent or if it

536
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:15,360
Speaker 1: asks Let's say, let's say it tells the system to

537
00:29:15,400 --> 00:29:17,480
Speaker 1: open the purge valve. How does it know the purge

538
00:29:17,560 --> 00:29:21,080
Speaker 1: valve open. It can't see the purge valve, but it

539
00:29:21,160 --> 00:29:26,360
Speaker 1: will see a change in oxygen sensor voltage. Right. Oxygen

540
00:29:26,440 --> 00:29:29,160
Speaker 1: sensor is the sensor in the exhaust stream that measures

541
00:29:29,160 --> 00:29:32,000
Speaker 1: oxygen content. If we're putting more fuel through it, it'll

542
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:35,840
Speaker 1: change the way O two censor voltage is displayed. All right,

543
00:29:35,920 --> 00:29:38,120
Speaker 1: So if it opens purge, it expects to see an

544
00:29:38,120 --> 00:29:42,440
Speaker 1: appropriate or two censor voltage signal change. Consequently, if it

545
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:46,080
Speaker 1: opens the vent, it's going to expect to see a

546
00:29:46,320 --> 00:29:54,160
Speaker 1: change in fuel tank pressure sensor readings. All right, So

547
00:29:54,480 --> 00:29:56,560
Speaker 1: you know that's it. I mean, that's a event, that's

548
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:01,800
Speaker 1: a purge. So the way usually will test this is

549
00:30:01,840 --> 00:30:05,480
Speaker 1: we'll take a scan tool and instead of manually opening

550
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,160
Speaker 1: the valve, we'll take a scan tool and bidirectionally control

551
00:30:08,200 --> 00:30:10,680
Speaker 1: it will open the vent. Do we hear the vents

552
00:30:10,680 --> 00:30:16,520
Speaker 1: solenoid click? Do we see physical movement? All right? Same

553
00:30:16,560 --> 00:30:18,680
Speaker 1: thing with a purge. Can we open the purge? Do

554
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:20,800
Speaker 1: we see a change in two center voltage? Do we

555
00:30:20,840 --> 00:30:24,440
Speaker 1: hear the purge valve click? You know this an EVAPP

556
00:30:24,480 --> 00:30:29,680
Speaker 1: system is probably one of the simpler systems on cars today. Now,

557
00:30:30,480 --> 00:30:32,600
Speaker 1: what we want to look for is it would be

558
00:30:32,680 --> 00:30:35,200
Speaker 1: nice if if you really want to understand this because

559
00:30:35,280 --> 00:30:39,080
Speaker 1: four four nine is so common on these cars. The

560
00:30:39,200 --> 00:30:42,160
Speaker 1: last bulletin I I saw ended in j there's a

561
00:30:42,200 --> 00:30:44,960
Speaker 1: bulletin out there oh two days show, six day show,

562
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:48,240
Speaker 1: four oh thirty seven J by now it could be

563
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:52,080
Speaker 1: the next letter in the alphabet, all right. You know

564
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:54,479
Speaker 1: when they get to J, that means they had an A, B, C, D,

565
00:30:54,560 --> 00:30:58,440
Speaker 1: E F. And you get the point revision of this

566
00:30:58,520 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: particular bulletin that's walks about the how and the y

567
00:31:02,000 --> 00:31:04,560
Speaker 1: in the year and a half, since your car was fixed,

568
00:31:04,560 --> 00:31:08,120
Speaker 1: since your truck was fixed, that vent valve may have

569
00:31:08,200 --> 00:31:10,640
Speaker 1: been updated and changed to a different design because the

570
00:31:10,680 --> 00:31:14,320
Speaker 1: problem with your truck is where the vent valve is located.

571
00:31:15,960 --> 00:31:20,080
Speaker 1: If if if the vent is not installed properly, or

572
00:31:20,120 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: if the modified parts are not used as GM calls

573
00:31:23,960 --> 00:31:27,840
Speaker 1: for in that bulletin, then you could have issues with

574
00:31:27,880 --> 00:31:32,280
Speaker 1: water intrusion, dirt intrusion. And just because it was done

575
00:31:32,320 --> 00:31:33,800
Speaker 1: a year and a half ago, it doesn't mean it's

576
00:31:33,840 --> 00:31:38,600
Speaker 1: been done for the last time, right, you know, yeah,

577
00:31:38,600 --> 00:31:41,040
Speaker 1: because that's been a lot of that, you know, that

578
00:31:41,280 --> 00:31:44,080
Speaker 1: last a while. But I'm gonna do what you said.

579
00:31:44,080 --> 00:31:47,680
Speaker 1: I'm gonna get my book out and do that directional change.

580
00:31:48,120 --> 00:31:53,280
Speaker 1: See what happens there, and if justusing happens and hear anything,

581
00:31:54,280 --> 00:31:56,080
Speaker 1: I think I'm gonna take you to the shot because

582
00:31:56,080 --> 00:31:58,400
Speaker 1: it's not that's kind of you gotta have a rack

583
00:31:58,480 --> 00:32:01,680
Speaker 1: to get up in there. It's a bad spot. But

584
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:04,640
Speaker 1: but write that, write that bulletin down You got a pencil,

585
00:32:06,720 --> 00:32:08,480
Speaker 1: you wanna you want to write that, you want to

586
00:32:08,480 --> 00:32:11,640
Speaker 1: write that bulletin number down Oh tow dash show six

587
00:32:12,240 --> 00:32:16,960
Speaker 1: das show for dashow thirty seven j O two oh

588
00:32:17,160 --> 00:32:20,480
Speaker 1: six oh four oh thirty seven j is in John

589
00:32:21,360 --> 00:32:24,480
Speaker 1: and read that. That will explain there's there's there's revised

590
00:32:24,560 --> 00:32:27,920
Speaker 1: canister vent, there's a revised wiring socket plug I believe

591
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:31,000
Speaker 1: for the event, and some other changes to the system.

592
00:32:31,160 --> 00:32:34,560
Speaker 1: Not an impossible fix, very common. Just make sure you're

593
00:32:34,600 --> 00:32:40,640
Speaker 1: using a good quality part. Taking my vehicle to monet

594
00:32:40,720 --> 00:32:44,680
Speaker 1: key and they've done it right so far. So yeah, listen,

595
00:32:44,720 --> 00:32:46,560
Speaker 1: I don't care whose name is on listen, I don't

596
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,600
Speaker 1: care whose name is on the building. A repair shop

597
00:32:48,640 --> 00:32:51,080
Speaker 1: is as good as the people in it. I've seen

598
00:32:51,160 --> 00:32:54,080
Speaker 1: good and Ben and all and if mine keys your

599
00:32:54,120 --> 00:32:56,640
Speaker 1: guys and they're doing a good job. You know what.

600
00:32:56,680 --> 00:33:00,280
Speaker 1: There you guys, there, you guys. I think I and

601
00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,600
Speaker 1: I commend you because I think the most important thing

602
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:04,720
Speaker 1: in order to repair today is that you have a

603
00:33:04,760 --> 00:33:07,440
Speaker 1: relationship with the shop and that you're going in on

604
00:33:07,520 --> 00:33:10,040
Speaker 1: a continuous basis. I think it makes it easier for them,

605
00:33:10,240 --> 00:33:12,360
Speaker 1: and I think it makes it easier for you. And

606
00:33:12,400 --> 00:33:15,240
Speaker 1: that they know you, they know what to expect, they

607
00:33:15,280 --> 00:33:18,680
Speaker 1: know who you are. Um, you know it's it just

608
00:33:18,760 --> 00:33:22,800
Speaker 1: becomes an ongoing uh, and it becomes an ongoing relationship.

609
00:33:22,920 --> 00:33:25,800
Speaker 1: So um, absolutely good luck to you, Jerry, let me

610
00:33:25,800 --> 00:33:30,440
