My biggest complaint about warranties are their 2 00:00:11,039 --> 00:00:14,360 Speaker 1: limits and the fine point that they don't necessarily explain it. 3 00:00:14,960 --> 00:00:20,480 Speaker 1: An carbator, a rough day, half floor, four windows, call 4 00:00:21,280 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: the tornul thing, the cave car, that car Doctor.

I'm not sure if it's working 51 00:02:36,440 --> 00:02:37,639 Speaker 1: or not, so do me a favorite and take a 52 00:02:37,680 --> 00:02:39,600 Speaker 1: peek at that. UM. I love it when we have 53 00:02:39,720 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: these meetings on national radio, but that's the only time 54 00:02:41,960 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: we get during the course of the week. We're so 55 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:46,240 Speaker 1: busy pulling this show together and making it all happen 56 00:02:46,720 --> 00:02:49,320 Speaker 1: UM across all the eighties plus affiliates that we're on 57 00:02:49,480 --> 00:02:52,040 Speaker 1: so UM just always something to do. Anyway, if you 58 00:02:52,080 --> 00:02:54,160 Speaker 1: need me during the week, Ron at Car Doctor Show 59 00:02:54,200 --> 00:02:55,799 Speaker 1: dot Com, email is the best way to get me. 60 00:02:55,840 --> 00:02:58,680 Speaker 1: I've always got email access and UM I will try 61 00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:00,520 Speaker 1: to get back to within a reasonable amount of time. 62 00:03:00,520 --> 00:03:02,200 Speaker 1: If not, we'll talk about it here on air. And 63 00:03:02,280 --> 00:03:05,000 Speaker 1: don't be surprised that fast Harry calls you. Maybe I 64 00:03:05,040 --> 00:03:07,119 Speaker 1: shouldn't say this because it seems to scare people coming 65 00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:09,280 Speaker 1: up here on radio to talk about it. Don't be 66 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:11,720 Speaker 1: surprised that fast Harry calls you to um you know, 67 00:03:12,160 --> 00:03:13,680 Speaker 1: have you tell us your problem on air and we'll 68 00:03:13,680 --> 00:03:16,000 Speaker 1: solve it for you here. And I like to do 69 00:03:16,120 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: that because I think that a lot of these problems 70 00:03:18,560 --> 00:03:21,320 Speaker 1: are not unique to any one particular person, and I 71 00:03:21,440 --> 00:03:24,080 Speaker 1: think everybody can benefit from some of these answers and questions. 72 00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:26,959 Speaker 1: And then that's why we'll do that. I had a 73 00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:28,480 Speaker 1: car in the shop in the last let's see, what 74 00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:30,000 Speaker 1: was it last week and it was the week before 75 00:03:31,960 --> 00:03:38,120 Speaker 1: Lincoln Continental. No crank, no crank, no start, dashlights, nothing else. 76 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:40,640 Speaker 1: Car was towed and it had been sitting for a while. 77 00:03:42,040 --> 00:03:48,000 Speaker 1: And how to go through diagnosis? Now, the customer, very 78 00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:50,680 Speaker 1: good customer, nice guy, Frankie kept saying to me, Wron, 79 00:03:50,720 --> 00:03:53,400 Speaker 1: I think it's the fuel pump. Um you know, it 80 00:03:53,720 --> 00:03:55,760 Speaker 1: doesn't it doesn't do anything. And well, if it's a 81 00:03:55,800 --> 00:03:57,880 Speaker 1: fuel pumped and why is it you know it doesn't 82 00:03:57,920 --> 00:03:59,440 Speaker 1: turn over though, frank and I kind of got to 83 00:03:59,480 --> 00:04:01,040 Speaker 1: go through the dri with him. And by the way, 84 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:04,320 Speaker 1: I should I should apologize. I have I am putting 85 00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:09,640 Speaker 1: the finishing touches on the diagnostic routine chart last count. 86 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 1: You know, I had to break it down into English 87 00:04:11,360 --> 00:04:13,640 Speaker 1: so that everybody would understand it as as as as 88 00:04:13,680 --> 00:04:15,760 Speaker 1: it kind of flow through it. You know, I think 89 00:04:15,800 --> 00:04:18,640 Speaker 1: there's over seventy steps to a complete diagnosis, depending upon 90 00:04:18,680 --> 00:04:20,760 Speaker 1: what you're looking for. And I'm trying to I'm trying 91 00:04:20,800 --> 00:04:23,200 Speaker 1: to just put it so I promise we'll get it 92 00:04:23,279 --> 00:04:24,800 Speaker 1: up on Facebook in the next two weeks. I have 93 00:04:24,920 --> 00:04:27,400 Speaker 1: not forgotten that commitment to you, UM, but it's just 94 00:04:27,520 --> 00:04:29,520 Speaker 1: some of the things and basically, if you it's the 95 00:04:29,560 --> 00:04:32,480 Speaker 1: idea that if you go through this diagnostic routine, you 96 00:04:32,720 --> 00:04:35,919 Speaker 1: will be able to fix the car because it forces 97 00:04:35,960 --> 00:04:38,440 Speaker 1: you to test everything. I'm not saying it's easy, but 98 00:04:38,920 --> 00:04:41,160 Speaker 1: on that on that brain tickler and that stumbler, it 99 00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,000 Speaker 1: will take you to verify and look at everything. And anyway, 100 00:04:44,080 --> 00:04:46,640 Speaker 1: it's something I've written a long, long time ago and 101 00:04:46,720 --> 00:04:49,480 Speaker 1: it still works to this day. And I actually used it, 102 00:04:49,520 --> 00:04:51,960 Speaker 1: which is what I realized that in my brain today 103 00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:55,120 Speaker 1: that um I used it in fixing Frank's car. That 104 00:04:55,279 --> 00:04:56,800 Speaker 1: I started to go through the float chart and I 105 00:04:56,880 --> 00:04:58,760 Speaker 1: went through the various you know, look at the visual check, 106 00:04:58,839 --> 00:05:03,840 Speaker 1: the battery check, old pressure what's this car missing? In 107 00:05:04,040 --> 00:05:08,800 Speaker 1: Frank's case, he had a fault code contained within the 108 00:05:08,920 --> 00:05:11,880 Speaker 1: anti FFT Ford has. You know Pat's anti FFT system, 109 00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:18,000 Speaker 1: and it was pat system was enabled. It thought Frank 110 00:05:18,120 --> 00:05:20,080 Speaker 1: was trying to steal his own car for some reason. 111 00:05:21,160 --> 00:05:23,160 Speaker 1: And when you got down through the diagnosis of memory 112 00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:25,680 Speaker 1: shoves me correct. It was a P twelve fifty or 113 00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:32,479 Speaker 1: some such code that pointed towards the transmitter wrapped around 114 00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:36,960 Speaker 1: the ignition locked cylinder. And when you read the diagnosis, 115 00:05:37,000 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: it said, it wants to check for voltage on this wire, 116 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:41,400 Speaker 1: this wire, this wire. You're looking for a signal, you're 117 00:05:41,400 --> 00:05:45,479 Speaker 1: looking for a condition, and everything was there. And I said, gee, 118 00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:49,159 Speaker 1: this car should start now before I take the steering 119 00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:52,200 Speaker 1: calm apart. And this isn't a step on the diagnostic 120 00:05:52,240 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: flow chart, but this is something I will do. I'll 121 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,760 Speaker 1: sit there and say, what's availability on that part, especially 122 00:05:56,800 --> 00:05:59,200 Speaker 1: if the car is older than seven years old. Well, 123 00:05:59,240 --> 00:06:02,440 Speaker 1: my intuition is right. When I called Ford, this particular 124 00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:07,360 Speaker 1: part was obsolete. It wasn't available. None left went to 125 00:06:07,400 --> 00:06:11,240 Speaker 1: the obsolete forward parts depot. There were two left, two 126 00:06:11,279 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: in the country for a ninety nine Lincoln Continental, which 127 00:06:13,360 --> 00:06:14,920 Speaker 1: is kind of the pressing. Actually, when you think about 128 00:06:14,920 --> 00:06:17,039 Speaker 1: how many of those cars used to be out there, 129 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:21,640 Speaker 1: you know, now there's there's enough anti theft module repairs 130 00:06:21,680 --> 00:06:25,600 Speaker 1: to do too well. Now there's only one. So I 131 00:06:25,640 --> 00:06:28,200 Speaker 1: sat there and I said, well, let's see. I it's 132 00:06:28,279 --> 00:06:32,880 Speaker 1: it's an intermittent fault. I can prove that everything up 133 00:06:32,920 --> 00:06:34,919 Speaker 1: to this point this is bad. I wonder what happens 134 00:06:34,920 --> 00:06:37,520 Speaker 1: if I tapped this module that I believe is bad, 135 00:06:38,000 --> 00:06:40,120 Speaker 1: what will occur? Sure enough, I tapped it, hit the 136 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:43,560 Speaker 1: key of the car, started right up. Can't reproduce it again, 137 00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:47,760 Speaker 1: can't get the car to not start in all the attempts, 138 00:06:48,120 --> 00:06:52,160 Speaker 1: everything looks the same. Called the customer up. It was 139 00:06:52,200 --> 00:06:56,160 Speaker 1: a d fifty dollar piece and said, you know, I 140 00:06:56,240 --> 00:06:58,080 Speaker 1: think this is where we start. This is where we 141 00:06:58,200 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 1: call the war, simply be because there's only two left 142 00:07:01,120 --> 00:07:02,640 Speaker 1: in the country. If I give you the car back 143 00:07:03,040 --> 00:07:07,120 Speaker 1: without replacing this particular component, you know, it's gonna work 144 00:07:07,200 --> 00:07:09,800 Speaker 1: for about three four months, and then three or four 145 00:07:09,880 --> 00:07:13,320 Speaker 1: months from now it's gonna die again. Of course, by then, 146 00:07:13,680 --> 00:07:16,040 Speaker 1: the last two pieces left in the country will be 147 00:07:16,160 --> 00:07:18,559 Speaker 1: sold and long gone, and we won't have the option 148 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:22,440 Speaker 1: to pick it up. Let's buy one buy when we 149 00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:25,120 Speaker 1: did install what we did, and I have to tell 150 00:07:25,160 --> 00:07:27,720 Speaker 1: you two weeks later that car is still out there fixed. 151 00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:32,720 Speaker 1: Now do I know it's fixed? Fixed? Yeah? Um, I'm 152 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:37,640 Speaker 1: in theile. I believe that you know you have to 153 00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:39,760 Speaker 1: be positive like that as much as you guys know 154 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:43,680 Speaker 1: me to be positive, which are you positive? But the 155 00:07:43,840 --> 00:07:48,920 Speaker 1: point of this is sometimes when you're dealing with an 156 00:07:49,000 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 1: older car, to hedge the bets and to speed up 157 00:07:54,680 --> 00:07:58,160 Speaker 1: the diagnostic process, because you surely don't want to learn 158 00:07:58,240 --> 00:08:01,480 Speaker 1: everything about everything, because then you'll know everything and then 159 00:08:01,520 --> 00:08:04,400 Speaker 1: your head will hurt. Sometimes you've got to swing the 160 00:08:04,440 --> 00:08:06,680 Speaker 1: bat and take your swing and and hope for the best. 161 00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,800 Speaker 1: In the case of the hundred and fifty dollar part, 162 00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:11,920 Speaker 1: when I looked at it and said, what will I 163 00:08:12,040 --> 00:08:13,760 Speaker 1: have to do to prove that it is that a 164 00:08:13,880 --> 00:08:18,760 Speaker 1: hundred and fifty dollar part, it would take three in 165 00:08:19,240 --> 00:08:21,720 Speaker 1: time just to prove that the hundred and fifty dollar 166 00:08:21,800 --> 00:08:26,560 Speaker 1: obsolete part is good or bad. It doesn't pay. And 167 00:08:26,680 --> 00:08:29,200 Speaker 1: that's what we've created in terms of cars. And I 168 00:08:29,240 --> 00:08:32,719 Speaker 1: really believe this that that these cars today put you 169 00:08:32,880 --> 00:08:36,240 Speaker 1: in a point where there has to be a calculated 170 00:08:36,320 --> 00:08:38,319 Speaker 1: risk and I'm not suggesting any way, shape or form 171 00:08:38,400 --> 00:08:39,800 Speaker 1: that we throw parts in a car in order to 172 00:08:39,880 --> 00:08:42,199 Speaker 1: solve it. But you've got to play the edges, and 173 00:08:42,240 --> 00:08:44,200 Speaker 1: you've got to you've got to get into a percentile 174 00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:47,240 Speaker 1: in my mind when I get into that percentile where yeah, 175 00:08:48,160 --> 00:08:50,199 Speaker 1: you know, I know this is good, this is good, 176 00:08:50,280 --> 00:08:51,959 Speaker 1: this is good. And I'm down to two components and 177 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,480 Speaker 1: one components a thousand dollars one components, a hundred and 178 00:08:54,480 --> 00:08:57,400 Speaker 1: fifty dollars a thousand dollar components really available the hundred 179 00:08:57,400 --> 00:09:00,360 Speaker 1: fifty dollar component isn't you know what, Let's put the 180 00:09:00,400 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 1: hunter fIF thet allar component and and see where that 181 00:09:03,760 --> 00:09:07,240 Speaker 1: gets us during the course of this repair, and that 182 00:09:07,360 --> 00:09:08,880 Speaker 1: did fix it in that car is done and gone. 183 00:09:09,400 --> 00:09:10,880 Speaker 1: During the course of this repair. I did have an 184 00:09:10,920 --> 00:09:12,839 Speaker 1: interesting thought, and I have had a chance to research it. 185 00:09:12,920 --> 00:09:17,559 Speaker 1: But I wonder what the remote start kits would do, 186 00:09:18,920 --> 00:09:21,040 Speaker 1: because a lot of the remote starter kits, and I'm 187 00:09:21,040 --> 00:09:23,320 Speaker 1: not sure about the older technology, but the newer stuff 188 00:09:23,520 --> 00:09:27,480 Speaker 1: they're they're tying into the anti theft systems on some 189 00:09:27,600 --> 00:09:29,760 Speaker 1: of these cars. And maybe we have to get ahold 190 00:09:29,800 --> 00:09:32,040 Speaker 1: of Harry, Maybe we have to get ahold of Mike 191 00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:35,559 Speaker 1: Zip from Zippo's Electronics down there in Bloomfield and ask 192 00:09:35,679 --> 00:09:37,640 Speaker 1: him this question. Maybe that's a question for him with 193 00:09:37,720 --> 00:09:40,679 Speaker 1: regard to is there a way to bypass the anti 194 00:09:40,760 --> 00:09:44,560 Speaker 1: theft on a temporary basis? And I wonder if those 195 00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:46,640 Speaker 1: older chips are available, that you could do that on 196 00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:48,440 Speaker 1: a full time basis on some of the older cars, 197 00:09:48,520 --> 00:09:54,319 Speaker 1: because surely nobody wants to steal to Lincoln Continental with 198 00:09:54,360 --> 00:09:56,560 Speaker 1: a hundred thousand miles on it anymore. What's the point? 199 00:09:57,400 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 1: Um some food for thought. I often wonder about that. 200 00:10:00,440 --> 00:10:02,200 Speaker 1: By the way, I think about that in my head. 201 00:10:02,480 --> 00:10:04,320 Speaker 1: Maybe that's the next market. You know what, if your 202 00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,560 Speaker 1: car is ten years old or older, we're gonna come 203 00:10:06,559 --> 00:10:08,600 Speaker 1: out with a way to bypass the anti theft system. 204 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,600 Speaker 1: Nobody wants to steal in any way you can't get 205 00:10:10,640 --> 00:10:13,640 Speaker 1: parts for it. Eight five zero nine nine zero zero 206 00:10:13,760 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: running any of the Car Doctor. We are coming back 207 00:10:15,760 --> 00:10:17,959 Speaker 1: right after this.

Oh? 218 00:10:59,760 --> 00:11:02,600 Speaker 1: Just talking to you? Yeah, What's what's the problem here 219 00:11:02,640 --> 00:11:06,360 Speaker 1: with this two thousand five GMC? All right? Um? Back 220 00:11:06,440 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: in Uh, well you know the history. It's it's oh five. 221 00:11:10,120 --> 00:11:12,400 Speaker 1: I bought it with sixty eight thousand miles on it 222 00:11:12,520 --> 00:11:16,240 Speaker 1: two years ago or so. It's run fine. I've changed 223 00:11:16,240 --> 00:11:20,520 Speaker 1: the oil uh regularly and all that back. And this 224 00:11:20,640 --> 00:11:24,120 Speaker 1: past November, I went away for ten days on vacation 225 00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:27,760 Speaker 1: out west, and uh when I got back, um, it's 226 00:11:27,800 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: a two hour drive to the airport, and my son 227 00:11:30,160 --> 00:11:31,760 Speaker 1: came down with the truck and picked me in my 228 00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:34,959 Speaker 1: life up. We grow back and everything was fine and 229 00:11:35,040 --> 00:11:37,319 Speaker 1: that and the following morning it was a little chilly, 230 00:11:37,440 --> 00:11:40,000 Speaker 1: but I started the truck up first thing, and and 231 00:11:40,160 --> 00:11:44,839 Speaker 1: it uh started wrapping, tapping really really a lot from 232 00:11:44,960 --> 00:11:47,720 Speaker 1: the valve cover, I guess, and I shut it right down. 233 00:11:48,480 --> 00:11:50,920 Speaker 1: It kind of scared me. I had never heard that pad, 234 00:11:51,679 --> 00:11:53,839 Speaker 1: and so I checked the oil and was down about 235 00:11:54,080 --> 00:11:56,040 Speaker 1: a quarter or so. So you know, I checked in 236 00:11:56,080 --> 00:11:58,760 Speaker 1: a while, I guess, but um, so I put some 237 00:11:59,440 --> 00:12:01,280 Speaker 1: you know, Phil put put another court oil in it, 238 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:05,959 Speaker 1: and uh it took probably um ten minutes or so 239 00:12:06,200 --> 00:12:08,800 Speaker 1: for the it ended up a single tap and then 240 00:12:08,880 --> 00:12:13,240 Speaker 1: it finally went away. But so hollow. How low on 241 00:12:13,320 --> 00:12:17,760 Speaker 1: oil was it? Jim? How it was? It was about 242 00:12:18,320 --> 00:12:20,880 Speaker 1: four thousand miles on it? No, No, how how low? 243 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:24,280 Speaker 1: How low on oil? Oh? Just about a court It 244 00:12:24,400 --> 00:12:29,600 Speaker 1: wasn't that bad, okay? Um, No, there was no warning 245 00:12:29,679 --> 00:12:32,920 Speaker 1: lights on the dash, no change in oil pressure. No, 246 00:12:33,240 --> 00:12:35,719 Speaker 1: not that I wasn't paying attention to it. You know, 247 00:12:36,679 --> 00:12:38,160 Speaker 1: the fellow I brought it off, I took a real 248 00:12:38,240 --> 00:12:40,640 Speaker 1: good care of it, and he was using synthetic oil. 249 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:43,839 Speaker 1: And that's what also I kept, you know, whenever I 250 00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,520 Speaker 1: changed it at five thousand, I kept synthetic oil in it. 251 00:12:47,040 --> 00:12:49,319 Speaker 1: He was using a product I don't know, Can I 252 00:12:49,360 --> 00:12:52,520 Speaker 1: say the product? Sure? Yeah, listen, I talked about everything here. Yeah, 253 00:12:52,720 --> 00:12:56,439 Speaker 1: I'm sorry. He was using mobile one and and so 254 00:12:56,720 --> 00:12:58,600 Speaker 1: you know I went to Walmart to pick up synthetic 255 00:12:58,679 --> 00:13:00,679 Speaker 1: oil when I brought it, I brought a different brand, 256 00:13:01,120 --> 00:13:03,319 Speaker 1: and I thought maybe I wasn't paying attention to the 257 00:13:03,760 --> 00:13:05,960 Speaker 1: five thirties, which is supposed to be and I might 258 00:13:06,000 --> 00:13:08,120 Speaker 1: have put a five forty or ten thirty or something. 259 00:13:08,679 --> 00:13:12,720 Speaker 1: So anyway, I went out and uh changed the oil 260 00:13:13,720 --> 00:13:16,920 Speaker 1: and the filter and put some like I said, sea 261 00:13:17,000 --> 00:13:20,080 Speaker 1: foam added to to the oil to quiet it down. 262 00:13:20,120 --> 00:13:23,280 Speaker 1: And it was fine for for a couple of months, 263 00:13:23,520 --> 00:13:26,199 Speaker 1: and then it just came back one day when I 264 00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:28,760 Speaker 1: it seems like now it's when I go up the 265 00:13:28,840 --> 00:13:31,920 Speaker 1: highway for a speed limit for half an hour to 266 00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:34,400 Speaker 1: bang or something like that, it come back in the 267 00:13:34,480 --> 00:13:36,640 Speaker 1: next day. It's only on the first start up in 268 00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,079 Speaker 1: the morning that it will wrap and I'll go down 269 00:13:39,120 --> 00:13:42,199 Speaker 1: to just one tap it. And uh, you know, it's 270 00:13:42,200 --> 00:13:45,280 Speaker 1: getting more frequent now though. So I've talked to the 271 00:13:45,400 --> 00:13:48,400 Speaker 1: mechanic who and again the fellow I bought it off, 272 00:13:48,480 --> 00:13:52,880 Speaker 1: it was a good friend and a neighbor, and I trust, 273 00:13:53,040 --> 00:13:56,280 Speaker 1: you know, he takes good care of stuff with sixty 274 00:13:56,840 --> 00:13:58,920 Speaker 1: miles on it. He had changed the oil regularly, so 275 00:13:59,520 --> 00:14:03,160 Speaker 1: this just him out of the blue. And so anyway, 276 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:06,040 Speaker 1: the same mechanic that he used I use. Uh, it's 277 00:14:06,040 --> 00:14:10,840 Speaker 1: a father's son, small garage and they're really good GM mechanics. Uh. 278 00:14:11,240 --> 00:14:13,720 Speaker 1: From everything I was told before I started using them, 279 00:14:13,960 --> 00:14:16,120 Speaker 1: everybody was happy with them. So I just you know, 280 00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 1: I went through the whole thing with them, and they 281 00:14:18,280 --> 00:14:20,880 Speaker 1: were kind of scratching their head. They had heard you 282 00:14:20,960 --> 00:14:24,480 Speaker 1: know g ms sometimes do that have tap it. Uh, 283 00:14:25,320 --> 00:14:28,600 Speaker 1: don't quiet down right away, like the father said, you know, 284 00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,440 Speaker 1: it takes a while for the oil to get up 285 00:14:30,480 --> 00:14:34,960 Speaker 1: to the cylinder head and into the lifters. I'm just 286 00:14:35,680 --> 00:14:39,280 Speaker 1: I'm concerned. Okay, Well, and I feel you're pain, buddy, 287 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,040 Speaker 1: I really do. Here's here's here's how I tackle this, 288 00:14:42,440 --> 00:14:45,400 Speaker 1: all right, And let me just say, I don't think 289 00:14:45,480 --> 00:14:48,920 Speaker 1: it's a synthetic oil issue, and I don't think it's 290 00:14:48,920 --> 00:14:50,680 Speaker 1: I don't think it's a brand issue. I don't think 291 00:14:50,720 --> 00:14:54,280 Speaker 1: if it's it's mobile one or castrole or pen's oil 292 00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:56,120 Speaker 1: or whatever you use, and it's got nothing to do 293 00:14:56,200 --> 00:14:59,080 Speaker 1: with it. Just I just want to keep everything above board. 294 00:14:59,120 --> 00:15:02,320 Speaker 1: I I I I don't think this is an oil 295 00:15:02,480 --> 00:15:05,880 Speaker 1: brand issue or an oil viscosity issue. Not not short 296 00:15:06,040 --> 00:15:09,240 Speaker 1: term like that. Uh you know, believe it or not. 297 00:15:09,480 --> 00:15:12,200 Speaker 1: Viscosity from my experience, if you put too heavy of 298 00:15:12,320 --> 00:15:18,320 Speaker 1: viscosity in an engine. It's you know, short term, short term, 299 00:15:18,360 --> 00:15:21,360 Speaker 1: the biggest problem you're gonna see. My experience has always 300 00:15:21,360 --> 00:15:25,120 Speaker 1: been believing or not you'll cause engine misfires because the lifters, 301 00:15:25,320 --> 00:15:29,640 Speaker 1: the lifters will stay pumped ump and won't allow themselves 302 00:15:29,720 --> 00:15:31,480 Speaker 1: to and they won't allow the valve to close, and 303 00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,640 Speaker 1: all actually cause a misfire. Had a had a oh 304 00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:37,280 Speaker 1: it's gotta be five years ago now, had a two 305 00:15:37,400 --> 00:15:41,880 Speaker 1: thousand three Hyundai um So I'm gonna say Sonata or 306 00:15:41,920 --> 00:15:45,480 Speaker 1: Tiberon it was, and another repair shop had changed the 307 00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:47,880 Speaker 1: oil on it and they were putting fifteen forty in 308 00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:51,720 Speaker 1: it where you know, spec was five twenty or five 309 00:15:51,840 --> 00:15:54,480 Speaker 1: thirty at the time. And it took us a while. 310 00:15:54,800 --> 00:15:57,160 Speaker 1: We we ran through it and started breaking it down, 311 00:15:57,240 --> 00:15:59,200 Speaker 1: and you know, it was just every morning when it 312 00:15:59,320 --> 00:16:02,320 Speaker 1: was cold. And then after I had gone through the 313 00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:05,160 Speaker 1: traditional g the plugs were wiped out at eighty thousand 314 00:16:05,200 --> 00:16:06,920 Speaker 1: miles and the coil had a crack in it, and 315 00:16:07,520 --> 00:16:09,360 Speaker 1: naturally you're gonna do wires and listen to all the 316 00:16:09,440 --> 00:16:11,840 Speaker 1: injectors and cleaned everything. And as I'm running through my 317 00:16:11,920 --> 00:16:15,160 Speaker 1: bag of tricks, you know, I think it's number twenty 318 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,800 Speaker 1: two on my diagnostic chart. I don't remember the exact 319 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,160 Speaker 1: number as I'm going through that. I've been talking about 320 00:16:20,200 --> 00:16:24,960 Speaker 1: my diagnostic chart lately. Um, it was oil viscosity. You 321 00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:27,400 Speaker 1: know what I did an oil change fix the car, 322 00:16:28,560 --> 00:16:31,160 Speaker 1: and you know, talk to the other shop that did it. 323 00:16:31,360 --> 00:16:33,320 Speaker 1: We were on were on talking terms and the guy says, yeah, 324 00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:35,120 Speaker 1: I was using fifteen because it was an older car 325 00:16:35,200 --> 00:16:39,280 Speaker 1: with high mileage. He actually created the problem. So you know, 326 00:16:39,400 --> 00:16:42,160 Speaker 1: viscosity will cause misfire, won't cause a lifter issue to 327 00:16:42,640 --> 00:16:46,000 Speaker 1: make noise like that. So bottom line where I would 328 00:16:46,120 --> 00:16:49,960 Speaker 1: start with this, all right is number one, what oil 329 00:16:50,040 --> 00:16:53,320 Speaker 1: filter is on it? And make sure the oil filter 330 00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:55,080 Speaker 1: has a good has a good check valve in it 331 00:16:55,200 --> 00:17:00,560 Speaker 1: like it's supposed to. Me said, and you know, make 332 00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:03,880 Speaker 1: sure make sure, you know, you make sure that's there, 333 00:17:03,960 --> 00:17:05,680 Speaker 1: make sure that's doing what it's supposed to. If you 334 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:08,000 Speaker 1: want to read about some good oil filters, you can 335 00:17:08,040 --> 00:17:11,040 Speaker 1: get out to Wicks Filters dot com. We use we 336 00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: use Wicks in the shop all day long. Great filter 337 00:17:13,720 --> 00:17:15,399 Speaker 1: and we know that their stuff is built to a 338 00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:18,920 Speaker 1: no spect so eliminates that problem. Not to mention, Wicks 339 00:17:18,960 --> 00:17:21,520 Speaker 1: has a good technical hotline service. You can find access 340 00:17:21,520 --> 00:17:24,320 Speaker 1: to them through Wicks Filters dot com and talk to 341 00:17:24,400 --> 00:17:26,520 Speaker 1: them about that. That's number one and then number two 342 00:17:27,040 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: with regard to the tap. Once you're satisfied you've got 343 00:17:29,320 --> 00:17:31,879 Speaker 1: a good filter on there. Um, I would tell you 344 00:17:32,040 --> 00:17:34,080 Speaker 1: have you tried to do any sort of You tried 345 00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:40,000 Speaker 1: c foam? Um, you applied c foam in the crank case? Okay, Um, 346 00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:43,439 Speaker 1: you know, I've got experience with c foam as an 347 00:17:43,560 --> 00:17:47,639 Speaker 1: engine cleaner in the combustion chamber, but but not in 348 00:17:47,680 --> 00:17:50,720 Speaker 1: the crank case. And I'm not saying it won't work, 349 00:17:50,800 --> 00:17:52,320 Speaker 1: but I've got to stick with what I know works 350 00:17:52,400 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: until I start to try something else and I've researched 351 00:17:54,600 --> 00:17:58,760 Speaker 1: it enough. And my my trick that you're here is 352 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:01,399 Speaker 1: either going to be a pine of automatic transmission fluid, 353 00:18:01,840 --> 00:18:04,239 Speaker 1: and by saying that, I'll generate seventy eight emails from 354 00:18:04,280 --> 00:18:08,400 Speaker 1: people telling me there's no you know, varnished disposal quality 355 00:18:08,480 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: and an automatic trans fluid and I get that, but 356 00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,320 Speaker 1: it does work. Or I'm gonna tell you to go 357 00:18:12,400 --> 00:18:14,000 Speaker 1: out to the store and yeah, that's what they say, 358 00:18:14,080 --> 00:18:15,600 Speaker 1: but it does work. Or I'm gonna tell you to 359 00:18:15,680 --> 00:18:17,720 Speaker 1: go out to the store and Bart Bart buy something 360 00:18:17,800 --> 00:18:20,840 Speaker 1: along the line of um, a Valve clean product or 361 00:18:20,880 --> 00:18:23,200 Speaker 1: a Marvel mystery oil, something like that. Something that will 362 00:18:23,280 --> 00:18:26,680 Speaker 1: cream clean, crank a sludge. Say that three times fast 363 00:18:27,320 --> 00:18:32,080 Speaker 1: and run that through the engine, all right, and you 364 00:18:32,160 --> 00:18:34,720 Speaker 1: know see what that does before we start doing a 365 00:18:34,800 --> 00:18:40,040 Speaker 1: tear down to inspect. My suspicion is there's a little 366 00:18:40,080 --> 00:18:42,160 Speaker 1: bit of sludge, a little bit of dirt, a little 367 00:18:42,200 --> 00:18:46,120 Speaker 1: bit of residual something here that's holding a lift or open, 368 00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:47,760 Speaker 1: and it takes a while for it to pump up. 369 00:18:48,000 --> 00:18:50,920 Speaker 1: And it doesn't take much dirt to attack a lifter 370 00:18:51,040 --> 00:18:54,320 Speaker 1: or try to internal combustion chamber cleaning, even, like I said, 371 00:18:55,240 --> 00:18:57,920 Speaker 1: a pint of automatic transfluid. See what that does. Call 372 00:18:58,000 --> 00:19:00,200 Speaker 1: me back next week. I'm modinating in the card doctor 373 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:16,680 Speaker 1: will return right after this. Hey, welcome back. Any of 374 00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,639 Speaker 1: the car doctor here A five zero zero zero the 375 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:23,040 Speaker 1: car Doctor seven numbers there. Let's let's do this email. 376 00:19:23,040 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: I want to just bang out this email real quick. 377 00:19:24,800 --> 00:19:26,639 Speaker 1: I tried to do this at the end of the 378 00:19:26,720 --> 00:19:28,760 Speaker 1: last hour and we just ran out of time. And 379 00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,879 Speaker 1: I think this email is is great. We've got to 380 00:19:30,920 --> 00:19:32,639 Speaker 1: give it some do Hey, ron I listened in from 381 00:19:32,680 --> 00:19:35,600 Speaker 1: Australia every Sunday night. I love the show and the 382 00:19:35,640 --> 00:19:38,120 Speaker 1: way you go about describing the issues you face succinctly 383 00:19:38,200 --> 00:19:40,760 Speaker 1: but with enough detail. I'd like to ask about these 384 00:19:40,800 --> 00:19:44,280 Speaker 1: new decarbonizing machines that use a negatively charged cleaning solution 385 00:19:44,359 --> 00:19:47,760 Speaker 1: under pressure, and which it claimed can clean combustion chambers 386 00:19:47,800 --> 00:19:50,200 Speaker 1: and fix many emissions problems. I've seen this on the 387 00:19:50,320 --> 00:19:53,760 Speaker 1: UK TV show Wheeler Dealers, which was impressive. Obviously they 388 00:19:53,800 --> 00:19:55,879 Speaker 1: said it was good, but they did go onto the 389 00:19:55,960 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: show before and after emission levels, which, if untrue, would 390 00:20:00,520 --> 00:20:04,560 Speaker 1: be one very very big porky pie that must be Australian. 391 00:20:04,760 --> 00:20:06,320 Speaker 1: I like the idea of this. I've never been one 392 00:20:06,400 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: to use fuel tank aaditors, but I do use high 393 00:20:08,359 --> 00:20:11,880 Speaker 1: end fuel pump high oh, high end pump fuel Okay, 394 00:20:11,880 --> 00:20:14,200 Speaker 1: I'm sorry, high end pump fuel to maintain some level 395 00:20:14,240 --> 00:20:16,639 Speaker 1: of fuel system cleanliness. I've attached the link to the 396 00:20:16,680 --> 00:20:18,639 Speaker 1: TV show footage below. Can you please advise us to 397 00:20:18,680 --> 00:20:20,760 Speaker 1: what you think. Knowing these new machines of cleaning editors 398 00:20:21,000 --> 00:20:22,879 Speaker 1: are coming out of fuels, won't that increase the need 399 00:20:22,960 --> 00:20:26,600 Speaker 1: for such operations, especially from an emissions perspective. Many thanks, 400 00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:28,920 Speaker 1: and don't go giving away the car doctor too many 401 00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:31,720 Speaker 1: people look forward to what I suspect best regards Nick, 402 00:20:32,119 --> 00:20:33,920 Speaker 1: and he gave his phone number, Boy, Harry, I'd like 403 00:20:33,920 --> 00:20:35,719 Speaker 1: to see you get this guy on the air. UM, 404 00:20:35,920 --> 00:20:37,320 Speaker 1: I have to figure that out. What time is it 405 00:20:37,359 --> 00:20:39,840 Speaker 1: in Australia. If it's two to four pm here on 406 00:20:39,920 --> 00:20:44,399 Speaker 1: Saturday afternoon, it's for four fourteen hours ahead, So so 407 00:20:44,520 --> 00:20:46,239 Speaker 1: that's UM. I don't think I can stay up that late. 408 00:20:46,280 --> 00:20:49,080 Speaker 1: I'm tired. But in any event, let me answer the question. 409 00:20:49,119 --> 00:20:50,680 Speaker 1: I went to the YouTube video when I watched it 410 00:20:50,840 --> 00:20:52,679 Speaker 1: Nick and for everyone else out there, and it was interesting. 411 00:20:52,800 --> 00:20:55,320 Speaker 1: It's I get what they're doing. The one thing that 412 00:20:55,359 --> 00:20:58,240 Speaker 1: I'm at a disadvantage of is here in the States, 413 00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:01,080 Speaker 1: from what I see on a day to day basis, 414 00:21:01,640 --> 00:21:04,960 Speaker 1: tail pipe emissions measured by a gas analyzer don't necessarily 415 00:21:05,040 --> 00:21:09,800 Speaker 1: matter because dion board oh two cents, the onboard fuel 416 00:21:09,800 --> 00:21:11,720 Speaker 1: control system is going to clean it up. What I 417 00:21:11,840 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: tend to look at to tell if a carbon if 418 00:21:14,080 --> 00:21:16,040 Speaker 1: a carbon cleaning is going to help, is I look 419 00:21:16,080 --> 00:21:18,080 Speaker 1: at fuel trim. I look at fuel trim and I'll 420 00:21:18,119 --> 00:21:20,640 Speaker 1: plot air fuel or O two center activity to see 421 00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:23,760 Speaker 1: doesn't improve switch rate, and then I might also do 422 00:21:23,840 --> 00:21:26,760 Speaker 1: an osc an oxygen storage capacity test to a catalytic 423 00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 1: converter to see, doesn't, you know, help its effectiveness. Um. 424 00:21:31,119 --> 00:21:34,560 Speaker 1: That being said, if there's any sort of detergent cleaner 425 00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:40,760 Speaker 1: in these machines, if there is some form of way 426 00:21:40,920 --> 00:21:43,280 Speaker 1: that they're breaking down carbon, and I don't want to 427 00:21:43,320 --> 00:21:45,600 Speaker 1: say yeah, looking at tail pipe emissions is a clear 428 00:21:45,640 --> 00:21:47,960 Speaker 1: indicator of that, then I think that, yeah, there is 429 00:21:48,040 --> 00:21:51,200 Speaker 1: some validity of this. Uh. The way I would approach 430 00:21:51,320 --> 00:21:54,320 Speaker 1: this because I remember back when we first started using 431 00:21:54,400 --> 00:21:59,080 Speaker 1: Motorvac motorvac carbon clean probably twenty five years ago. Now, um, 432 00:21:59,480 --> 00:22:01,159 Speaker 1: you know, my approach was, I want to have it 433 00:22:01,240 --> 00:22:04,679 Speaker 1: done to my car, and I want to see fuel 434 00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:07,160 Speaker 1: economy before and after, and I want to feel overall 435 00:22:07,240 --> 00:22:10,880 Speaker 1: engine quality before and after. And to me, fuel economy 436 00:22:11,000 --> 00:22:13,119 Speaker 1: is going to be the dictator. That's gonna be the 437 00:22:13,160 --> 00:22:16,960 Speaker 1: one that tells you wasn't an effective method of cleaning, 438 00:22:17,920 --> 00:22:21,879 Speaker 1: and you'll feel a difference. Look, carbon is gonna be 439 00:22:21,960 --> 00:22:23,920 Speaker 1: an issue. As a matter of fact, I'm gonna be 440 00:22:24,000 --> 00:22:26,159 Speaker 1: talking about it next week. It came out in a 441 00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,760 Speaker 1: recent article in one of the trades and one of 442 00:22:28,840 --> 00:22:31,119 Speaker 1: the listeners sent me the article, well more than one 443 00:22:31,160 --> 00:22:33,160 Speaker 1: sent me an article that talks about and they said, yeah, 444 00:22:33,160 --> 00:22:36,840 Speaker 1: because I've been pointing it out that the churgency, the 445 00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,760 Speaker 1: churgent editors are going to come out of gasoline here 446 00:22:40,800 --> 00:22:42,879 Speaker 1: in the US, and I imagine around the world as 447 00:22:42,880 --> 00:22:45,080 Speaker 1: they're trying harder and harder to you know, clean up 448 00:22:45,119 --> 00:22:49,240 Speaker 1: the air. That being said, carbon is a major problem 449 00:22:49,560 --> 00:22:52,879 Speaker 1: and it's going to be one going forward because of 450 00:22:52,960 --> 00:22:55,960 Speaker 1: engine design and just just just a bunch of possibilities. 451 00:22:56,440 --> 00:23:01,399 Speaker 1: So engine cleaning systems such as this as well as 452 00:23:01,480 --> 00:23:04,440 Speaker 1: what's out here are definitely things to look at. And 453 00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:06,760 Speaker 1: I'm just you know, Nick, I'm not trying to go 454 00:23:06,880 --> 00:23:08,440 Speaker 1: the long way around the barn, but I'm trying to 455 00:23:08,440 --> 00:23:11,920 Speaker 1: come up with a valid way to say, hey, let's 456 00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:14,080 Speaker 1: go to somebody prove that it works. And I think 457 00:23:14,119 --> 00:23:16,240 Speaker 1: the way I'd have to approach this is, I don't 458 00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:19,680 Speaker 1: care what tailpipe emissions are. I want to check manifold 459 00:23:19,800 --> 00:23:22,120 Speaker 1: vacuum before and after, and I want to check fuel 460 00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:24,920 Speaker 1: economy before and after because I also want to see 461 00:23:24,960 --> 00:23:28,600 Speaker 1: what the long term effects are and I would take 462 00:23:28,720 --> 00:23:31,600 Speaker 1: that as you know, how do you know that the 463 00:23:31,680 --> 00:23:34,439 Speaker 1: carbon cleaning isn't cleaning up the emissions. And I'm sure 464 00:23:34,480 --> 00:23:37,440 Speaker 1: there's catalytic converters in Australia. And that's an educated guests. 465 00:23:37,440 --> 00:23:39,159 Speaker 1: I've never thought about it, but I'm sure there's catalytic 466 00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:41,359 Speaker 1: converters in Australia. Or eth say it like this. If 467 00:23:41,400 --> 00:23:44,399 Speaker 1: there are catalytic converters on cars in Australia, then how 468 00:23:44,440 --> 00:23:47,440 Speaker 1: do you know it's not a temporary cleanup. And it's 469 00:23:47,480 --> 00:23:52,720 Speaker 1: a temporary change to the onboard computers fuel system management strategy. 470 00:23:53,359 --> 00:23:55,240 Speaker 1: And I'd like to see a long term effect. I'd 471 00:23:55,280 --> 00:23:58,199 Speaker 1: like to see a month's worth of fuel economy tests 472 00:23:58,600 --> 00:24:01,600 Speaker 1: after the fact, after I've got a good baseline beforehand, 473 00:24:01,880 --> 00:24:03,800 Speaker 1: and just general performance, and to me, that would be 474 00:24:03,880 --> 00:24:06,440 Speaker 1: the barometer. I'm not saying this is good or bad, Nick, 475 00:24:06,720 --> 00:24:09,080 Speaker 1: but I am saying you need to start looking at 476 00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:13,280 Speaker 1: carbon cleaning processes and carbon cleaning machines because that is 477 00:24:13,359 --> 00:24:16,720 Speaker 1: the way of the future. Uh. And additive as well, 478 00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,240 Speaker 1: because like I said, you're not gonna be able to 479 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:22,080 Speaker 1: get additives in the gasoline anymore. It's gonna have to 480 00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,879 Speaker 1: come from a poring bottle. And I'll say it like this, 481 00:24:25,040 --> 00:24:26,639 Speaker 1: it's gonna come from a poor and bottle as long 482 00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:30,440 Speaker 1: as they still allow manufacturers to make them, because that's 483 00:24:30,440 --> 00:24:32,120 Speaker 1: gonna be the next thing that goes away. I'm willing 484 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: to bet as they continue the assault on the auto 485 00:24:34,520 --> 00:24:37,280 Speaker 1: industry and trying to clean it up. UM, I hope 486 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:38,840 Speaker 1: that did it for you. And Nick, let me tell you, 487 00:24:39,040 --> 00:24:41,760 Speaker 1: I'm real proud to say I gotta listener on Australia 488 00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:43,800 Speaker 1: down Under. If we ever get down that way, we're 489 00:24:43,800 --> 00:24:46,080 Speaker 1: gonna stop in and have a beer. Let's let's go 490 00:24:46,160 --> 00:24:48,320 Speaker 1: and talk to Mike dnnella, New Jersey. Mike, Welcome back 491 00:24:48,320 --> 00:24:50,720 Speaker 1: to the Car Doctor. What's going on? Ron, Good afternoon. 492 00:24:50,720 --> 00:24:53,520 Speaker 1: I got a quick quick comment that's a great segue 493 00:24:53,560 --> 00:24:55,600 Speaker 1: in what I was going to talk about. A lot 494 00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:58,960 Speaker 1: of turbocharge motors are out here today with direct injection, 495 00:24:59,640 --> 00:25:02,600 Speaker 1: and I was looking at some YouTube's regarding what they 496 00:25:02,720 --> 00:25:06,680 Speaker 1: call low speed pre ignition, and what that means is 497 00:25:06,760 --> 00:25:09,480 Speaker 1: if you have your car in six gear and you're 498 00:25:09,520 --> 00:25:11,520 Speaker 1: on the highway and you tromp on it, which I 499 00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,159 Speaker 1: don't know why you would, anyway, it loads up the 500 00:25:15,119 --> 00:25:18,239 Speaker 1: engine with a lot of unburnt fuel. And a lot 501 00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,119 Speaker 1: of these guys say that they're blowing their engines because 502 00:25:21,280 --> 00:25:24,280 Speaker 1: the raw fuel is coming out of the tail pipe unburnt. 503 00:25:24,840 --> 00:25:27,480 Speaker 1: Have you ever heard about that? I haven't seen it, Mike, 504 00:25:28,080 --> 00:25:30,840 Speaker 1: you know, and you know, have you you got anything 505 00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:33,560 Speaker 1: in writing from anybody? I mean, has anybody got any 506 00:25:33,640 --> 00:25:37,359 Speaker 1: documented cases? Or is these just claims on YouTube videos? No, 507 00:25:37,520 --> 00:25:40,200 Speaker 1: I've seen I've seen a couple of different people commenting 508 00:25:40,280 --> 00:25:45,680 Speaker 1: on on YouTube about it, but particularly Subaru owners and 509 00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:49,800 Speaker 1: the people that own the Ford Focus, the st uh 510 00:25:50,320 --> 00:25:53,520 Speaker 1: fs is and all that, but and the Mustang. You know, 511 00:25:53,640 --> 00:25:55,800 Speaker 1: I'd be I would, I would take it at face 512 00:25:55,920 --> 00:25:58,359 Speaker 1: value until I saw something proof in the putting, something 513 00:25:58,400 --> 00:26:01,280 Speaker 1: in writing from any one of the manufacturers. Think of 514 00:26:01,359 --> 00:26:04,119 Speaker 1: it like this, all right? You know this is like 515 00:26:05,280 --> 00:26:07,399 Speaker 1: you look at Facebook and the claims people make on 516 00:26:07,520 --> 00:26:10,240 Speaker 1: Facebook about what's going on in the world. And I 517 00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,280 Speaker 1: don't discount it. But until I actually see it or 518 00:26:13,320 --> 00:26:16,040 Speaker 1: see proof of it, I don't let the end. I 519 00:26:16,080 --> 00:26:19,240 Speaker 1: don't let the Internet help me form an opinion. I helped. 520 00:26:19,320 --> 00:26:21,960 Speaker 1: It helped me gather information and evidence to prove one 521 00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:25,119 Speaker 1: My question you is why would you why would you 522 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:30,520 Speaker 1: tromp on an engine with two rpm m and six 523 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,080 Speaker 1: gear on the highway. Wouldn't you downshift a gear or 524 00:26:33,119 --> 00:26:35,160 Speaker 1: two to pass somebody? Well, are we're talking a six 525 00:26:35,160 --> 00:26:37,800 Speaker 1: speed manual or six speed automatic? No, these are all 526 00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,960 Speaker 1: manual transmissions. Well, yeah I would. I would have to 527 00:26:41,000 --> 00:26:42,959 Speaker 1: thank you would. But then again, you know the other 528 00:26:43,040 --> 00:26:45,120 Speaker 1: side of that, Mike, And it's kind of a harsh statement. 529 00:26:45,400 --> 00:26:47,120 Speaker 1: Most people today don't know how to drive a stick 530 00:26:48,560 --> 00:26:51,119 Speaker 1: And that's that's that's the bottom line, you know. That's like, 531 00:26:51,960 --> 00:26:56,840 Speaker 1: you know, you started asking people about anything automotive related, 532 00:26:56,960 --> 00:27:00,439 Speaker 1: and it's amazing. And I think it's amazing seeing how 533 00:27:00,560 --> 00:27:04,680 Speaker 1: little people know. And I don't wanna, you know, upset anybody, 534 00:27:04,720 --> 00:27:07,760 Speaker 1: but let's just and it's just, you know what, when 535 00:27:07,800 --> 00:27:10,120 Speaker 1: I was a kid growing up, we didn't have cars. 536 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:11,239 Speaker 1: I didn't have a car. I didn't have a car 537 00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,520 Speaker 1: in high school. I couldn't afford one, all right. I 538 00:27:13,640 --> 00:27:16,240 Speaker 1: worked on everybody's I was that kid that everybody drove 539 00:27:16,280 --> 00:27:18,840 Speaker 1: around to get me to fix everybody else's car. I 540 00:27:19,000 --> 00:27:21,320 Speaker 1: never had a car that was together. I had three 541 00:27:21,400 --> 00:27:24,359 Speaker 1: or four cars in several stages of disrepair. But you know, 542 00:27:24,400 --> 00:27:26,840 Speaker 1: I could never get it together enough. As you know, 543 00:27:26,960 --> 00:27:28,800 Speaker 1: as you know, Ron, I don't drive. I can't see. 544 00:27:29,040 --> 00:27:32,320 Speaker 1: I know, I know, I really get annoyed when I 545 00:27:32,400 --> 00:27:34,680 Speaker 1: hear people going by and their cars are out of tune, 546 00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:36,800 Speaker 1: or if I ride with somebody, you can tell what 547 00:27:36,960 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: kind of drivers people are just from riding in the 548 00:27:39,359 --> 00:27:41,720 Speaker 1: car for a couple of minutes. Well, right, But my 549 00:27:41,920 --> 00:27:45,240 Speaker 1: point is going back to that. My point is that 550 00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:48,520 Speaker 1: I learned from a very early age what it takes 551 00:27:48,560 --> 00:27:50,080 Speaker 1: to make a car work. And I'm not saying everybody's 552 00:27:50,080 --> 00:27:52,320 Speaker 1: gotta be a mechanic, but I also learned to respect 553 00:27:52,400 --> 00:27:55,199 Speaker 1: it from a mechanical perspective. So yeah, I think there 554 00:27:55,240 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: are people that in six gear will floort, you know, 555 00:27:57,480 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: lugging the engine along, and they won't get performance out 556 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,920 Speaker 1: of it, and then they'll complain to the manufacturer not 557 00:28:02,040 --> 00:28:04,440 Speaker 1: understanding how the machine works or what it's supposed to do. 558 00:28:05,080 --> 00:28:08,760 Speaker 1: And I think that's an issue if I if I 559 00:28:08,880 --> 00:28:11,119 Speaker 1: hear anymore about this, I'll definitely pass it on. But 560 00:28:11,200 --> 00:28:13,840 Speaker 1: this has been fun, particularly YouTube that I've pulled up, 561 00:28:13,880 --> 00:28:16,120 Speaker 1: and that's how I learned a lot of my information. Yeah, 562 00:28:16,119 --> 00:28:17,600 Speaker 1: i'd like to see that. As a matter of fact, 563 00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:20,520 Speaker 1: I'd like to, uh, you get something that proves it, Mike, 564 00:28:20,960 --> 00:28:22,720 Speaker 1: We'll get it up on Facebook and we'll post it 565 00:28:22,760 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: out and we'll have that conversation there. What I will 566 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,760 Speaker 1: do is I'll email you the link and you can 567 00:28:26,800 --> 00:28:29,760 Speaker 1: look at it yourself and it's perfect. Let's do that, Mike. 568 00:28:29,800 --> 00:28:32,920 Speaker 1: As always, I appreciate the call. Take good care. I'm 569 00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:34,920 Speaker 1: run on any in the car Doctor back right after this. 570 00:28:48,280 --> 00:29:00,240 Speaker 1: I ain't everything with the woman. You know. Well, back 571 00:29:00,840 --> 00:29:04,400 Speaker 1: the car Doctor by five zero nine zero zero. As 572 00:29:04,480 --> 00:29:07,160 Speaker 1: we roll along today on here in the Car Doctor, 573 00:29:07,240 --> 00:29:09,280 Speaker 1: let's go and talk to Tom Merriton, Connecticut. Tom, Welcome, 574 00:29:09,320 --> 00:29:12,800 Speaker 1: what's going on here? Ron? Thanks for taking my call. Yeah, 575 00:29:12,800 --> 00:29:16,160 Speaker 1: I got a two thousand crown big P seventy one, 576 00:29:16,200 --> 00:29:19,400 Speaker 1: you know, cop car, a hundred sixty eight or so, 577 00:29:19,560 --> 00:29:22,640 Speaker 1: thousand miles on it just brought in April zero six. 578 00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:25,680 Speaker 1: Longest I've ever had cards off the roads in the garage. 579 00:29:25,720 --> 00:29:28,280 Speaker 1: I'm not using it now, but it was last week 580 00:29:28,320 --> 00:29:29,760 Speaker 1: the week before I was listening to your show and 581 00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:32,880 Speaker 1: you're mentioning, uh, you know, water getting into the engine 582 00:29:32,920 --> 00:29:36,200 Speaker 1: compartment and raising hell with with you know, with with 583 00:29:36,360 --> 00:29:39,280 Speaker 1: the electrical system. And I've had that issue with with 584 00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:44,040 Speaker 1: you know, big rain storms and and hesitations and stuff. 585 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:46,840 Speaker 1: I said, she water is getting in there. So and anyway, 586 00:29:46,920 --> 00:29:51,200 Speaker 1: you mentioned that replacing the original weather stripping around the 587 00:29:51,240 --> 00:29:55,480 Speaker 1: cows solved another uh issue with another person's problems. Wonder 588 00:29:55,480 --> 00:29:58,640 Speaker 1: if you ever heard anything about these cars and that issue. Yeah, 589 00:29:58,680 --> 00:30:00,760 Speaker 1: I mean, and listen, you know it's it's it's one 590 00:30:00,800 --> 00:30:03,120 Speaker 1: of the reasons when we change oil on a car. 591 00:30:03,200 --> 00:30:05,680 Speaker 1: And this will sound really strange at first, Tom, but 592 00:30:05,760 --> 00:30:07,520 Speaker 1: when we change oil on a car in the shop, 593 00:30:08,080 --> 00:30:10,800 Speaker 1: if the if there are leaves in the cowl area, 594 00:30:11,640 --> 00:30:14,800 Speaker 1: well we'll vacuumm out, we'll clean them out, and we 595 00:30:14,880 --> 00:30:16,400 Speaker 1: do it for two reasons. Number one, we don't want 596 00:30:16,440 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 1: you to breathe in that stuff in because it it 597 00:30:18,320 --> 00:30:21,080 Speaker 1: will create and cause health issues and some people. And 598 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:23,000 Speaker 1: it's also it's just not nice to smell inside the car. 599 00:30:23,120 --> 00:30:25,560 Speaker 1: That's the flow through air, but that's also the drain 600 00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:28,640 Speaker 1: and if if if there's leaves there and the cowl 601 00:30:28,720 --> 00:30:31,400 Speaker 1: drains are clogged, I guess where the water goes into 602 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,560 Speaker 1: the engine, into the engine compartment. So you know, it's 603 00:30:34,640 --> 00:30:36,320 Speaker 1: it's everything is supposed to work as a system, and 604 00:30:36,360 --> 00:30:38,840 Speaker 1: everything is there for a reason. On on the cop 605 00:30:38,880 --> 00:30:40,680 Speaker 1: cars are on the crown fixed I should say. Yeah, 606 00:30:40,680 --> 00:30:43,280 Speaker 1: I've seen issues where that seal that runs along the 607 00:30:43,360 --> 00:30:46,360 Speaker 1: back edge, if that's displaced, are out of place, that'll 608 00:30:46,400 --> 00:30:48,360 Speaker 1: cause a water leak. I've seen it where if the 609 00:30:48,400 --> 00:30:51,080 Speaker 1: cowl drains are plugged up, it'll build up and the 610 00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:53,960 Speaker 1: water won't drain off properly. Heck, I've seen it where 611 00:30:53,960 --> 00:30:56,400 Speaker 1: they've taken the molding off the base of the windshield 612 00:30:57,400 --> 00:30:59,720 Speaker 1: and that creates water issues and puts water in the 613 00:30:59,760 --> 00:31:02,920 Speaker 1: wrong place. So you know, you've got to be careful 614 00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:04,960 Speaker 1: in terms of what you do and how you change 615 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:07,800 Speaker 1: a car. But I think you know that. Yeah, I've 616 00:31:07,840 --> 00:31:09,880 Speaker 1: had well, this is as long as I've had in 617 00:31:10,000 --> 00:31:13,400 Speaker 1: eighty seven and two eighty nine. You know, the old style, 618 00:31:13,480 --> 00:31:17,920 Speaker 1: the three cars as the Connecticut State State Police cars, 619 00:31:17,960 --> 00:31:19,719 Speaker 1: and they were great. But this, of course, this car 620 00:31:19,840 --> 00:31:21,560 Speaker 1: is that night and day from them. This is much 621 00:31:21,880 --> 00:31:25,000 Speaker 1: much better and much more dependable. Uh. And I changed 622 00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: two intastes on it since I've had it, But I 623 00:31:27,600 --> 00:31:30,360 Speaker 1: mean nothing else. Now I start the engine up and 624 00:31:30,400 --> 00:31:32,440 Speaker 1: you hear a slight little rock knock there, So I 625 00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:34,360 Speaker 1: mean it's got a lot of miles. But I'll tell 626 00:31:34,400 --> 00:31:36,640 Speaker 1: you what this this car has been just probably the 627 00:31:36,680 --> 00:31:38,800 Speaker 1: best car I've ever had, as hard as the pendability 628 00:31:38,920 --> 00:31:41,640 Speaker 1: is concerned. Have you you know what what have you 629 00:31:41,720 --> 00:31:43,440 Speaker 1: considered for the rotten knock? I mean, is it a 630 00:31:43,520 --> 00:31:46,959 Speaker 1: rotten knock? Is it piston speed? Is it valve speed? Um? 631 00:31:47,200 --> 00:31:50,080 Speaker 1: It sounds like, well, just when I started up, I 632 00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:52,000 Speaker 1: can hear a slight knock. It's been going on a 633 00:31:52,040 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: while and and uh nothing, No other time do I 634 00:31:55,080 --> 00:31:57,080 Speaker 1: do I hear it? I'm I'm just thinking that's what 635 00:31:57,240 --> 00:31:58,400 Speaker 1: it is. What do you what do you think? Well, 636 00:31:58,440 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: I'm just one of Is it only the cold or 637 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:05,680 Speaker 1: is it there every time you started cold? Only cold? 638 00:32:06,120 --> 00:32:08,160 Speaker 1: You know? Do you think it could be an oil 639 00:32:08,240 --> 00:32:11,760 Speaker 1: drain back issue? Yeah, it could be, I guess. I 640 00:32:11,800 --> 00:32:14,080 Speaker 1: mean I have to have a yank a motor out well. 641 00:32:14,360 --> 00:32:16,640 Speaker 1: By that, by that, I mean, you know, listen, maybe 642 00:32:16,680 --> 00:32:18,440 Speaker 1: it's something as simple. I don't know what brand of 643 00:32:18,480 --> 00:32:21,400 Speaker 1: oil filter are you're using. I use it, you know, 644 00:32:21,480 --> 00:32:23,720 Speaker 1: I use it for filters and stuff. I used the 645 00:32:23,760 --> 00:32:25,280 Speaker 1: best thing. I mean, I used better. I use I 646 00:32:25,360 --> 00:32:28,240 Speaker 1: use Wicks top top of the line. I don't I'd 647 00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:31,160 Speaker 1: never I never skip on filters and maintenance. I maintained 648 00:32:31,200 --> 00:32:34,200 Speaker 1: this thing myself. Well, I didn't do the I didn't 649 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:35,960 Speaker 1: do the intakes. I had them done by a guy 650 00:32:36,040 --> 00:32:38,400 Speaker 1: that I did.
