1 00:00:00,240 --> 00:00:02,120 Speaker 1: Ron and Anian in order to get to the battery. 2 00:00:02,160 --> 00:00:04,160 Speaker 1: The batteries in the trunk. The trunk block won't work 3 00:00:04,200 --> 00:00:06,600 Speaker 1: because the battery is dead and the key stuck in 4 00:00:06,600 --> 00:00:09,399 Speaker 1: the igniency. You can't use the kid whatever. Everything is. 5 00:00:09,840 --> 00:00:11,600 Speaker 1: That's the way it is. It's a high end car. 6 00:00:11,960 --> 00:00:19,119 Speaker 1: They never break. So they say, the car doctor, you 7 00:00:19,120 --> 00:00:20,760 Speaker 1: know what they call those lights? Right, And I'm by 8 00:00:20,800 --> 00:00:24,760 Speaker 1: no mean, I'm not saying you're that all right, but 9 00:00:25,120 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 1: you know the idiot lights. It really should be okay, 10 00:00:28,560 --> 00:00:30,240 Speaker 1: you know this is this is this is telling you 11 00:00:30,280 --> 00:00:31,840 Speaker 1: that in about two seconds, the car is going to 12 00:00:31,880 --> 00:00:35,319 Speaker 1: stop because the enginecies you all right, Dad, strange little man. 13 00:00:41,720 --> 00:00:44,680 Speaker 1: Welcome to the radio home of ron and Anian, the 14 00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:49,160 Speaker 1: Car Doctor, since this is where car owners the world 15 00:00:49,240 --> 00:00:53,760 Speaker 1: overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair. If 16 00:00:53,760 --> 00:00:56,480 Speaker 1: your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up the 17 00:00:56,520 --> 00:01:00,200 Speaker 1: phone and call in. The garage doors are open, but 18 00:01:00,280 --> 00:01:02,600 Speaker 1: I am here to take your call at eight five 19 00:01:02,400 --> 00:01:11,720 Speaker 1: five five six. And now Andy running, Hey, it's time 20 00:01:11,760 --> 00:01:13,800 Speaker 1: to start your engines alone, and welcome mon and Ating 21 00:01:13,840 --> 00:01:17,199 Speaker 1: the card doccer here at five zero nine zero zero 22 00:01:17,240 --> 00:01:21,039 Speaker 1: again eight five five five zero nine zero to take 23 00:01:21,080 --> 00:01:25,000 Speaker 1: your call, answer your question, and help solve your car problem. 24 00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:26,960 Speaker 1: What a week, great week at the shop. Two nights 25 00:01:27,000 --> 00:01:28,920 Speaker 1: of class courtesy the folks over at a t G, 26 00:01:29,040 --> 00:01:32,120 Speaker 1: A t T training dot com, a t G training 27 00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:35,120 Speaker 1: dot Com and um just learning a whole bunch of 28 00:01:35,120 --> 00:01:36,880 Speaker 1: things about hybrids, things you never want to know, but 29 00:01:36,959 --> 00:01:39,920 Speaker 1: you got to and walked away with the conclusion that 30 00:01:40,160 --> 00:01:43,959 Speaker 1: hybrids really are. Wow, are they well engineered? They're they're 31 00:01:43,959 --> 00:01:48,280 Speaker 1: a little over engineered, and you know, and good political 32 00:01:48,360 --> 00:01:51,720 Speaker 1: arguments to A lot of the conversation in class was about, 33 00:01:52,120 --> 00:01:55,360 Speaker 1: you know, why you don't see hybrids break in the 34 00:01:55,480 --> 00:01:58,480 Speaker 1: same way that you see conventional gas engines break, and 35 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:01,040 Speaker 1: you don't see electric cars aek in the way that 36 00:02:01,080 --> 00:02:04,480 Speaker 1: you don't see conventional gasoline cars break as well. You know, 37 00:02:04,560 --> 00:02:06,880 Speaker 1: electric and hybrid when you think about it, they were 38 00:02:06,920 --> 00:02:09,799 Speaker 1: in their infancy the technology, and they've been doing very, 39 00:02:09,880 --> 00:02:13,520 Speaker 1: very well. And it's very different than when gasolene cars 40 00:02:13,600 --> 00:02:16,000 Speaker 1: burst onto the scene a hundred and twenty some odd 41 00:02:16,080 --> 00:02:18,840 Speaker 1: years ago in that you know, if if you made 42 00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:21,640 Speaker 1: the corner store, you know, or around the corner, it 43 00:02:21,680 --> 00:02:24,080 Speaker 1: was you were doing well. And a lot of the 44 00:02:24,120 --> 00:02:27,720 Speaker 1: reason and rationale has to do with it seems that 45 00:02:27,960 --> 00:02:32,639 Speaker 1: you the public, you're very you're picky, Okay, you're fussy, 46 00:02:32,760 --> 00:02:35,880 Speaker 1: and if it got out that your hybrid kept breaking 47 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:38,760 Speaker 1: or your electric car kept breaking, you're gonna stop buying them, 48 00:02:38,800 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 1: and thus ends the future. And it's what I've always 49 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,200 Speaker 1: been saying. The reason they make cars the way they 50 00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,959 Speaker 1: do is because you keep buying them. So if you 51 00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,680 Speaker 1: want to change something, you know what you gotta do. 52 00:02:49,120 --> 00:02:51,760 Speaker 1: But it's um, it's clearly a case that the hybrids 53 00:02:51,800 --> 00:02:58,160 Speaker 1: are well engineered. The technology is quite interesting. Uh, the changes, 54 00:02:58,200 --> 00:02:59,639 Speaker 1: the things that they're doing to it, and the way 55 00:02:59,680 --> 00:03:02,440 Speaker 1: that they're changing the propulsion systems around and what you 56 00:03:02,480 --> 00:03:04,320 Speaker 1: have to stop and look at, and how they're gonna 57 00:03:04,320 --> 00:03:06,880 Speaker 1: work it. UM. I still maintain I think the hybrids 58 00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:09,320 Speaker 1: are a stopgap measure. I think eventually in time everything 59 00:03:09,360 --> 00:03:12,840 Speaker 1: will be all electric UM or maybe something else. But 60 00:03:13,320 --> 00:03:15,359 Speaker 1: the conversation that you and I have had over the 61 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,880 Speaker 1: years about natural gas and hydrogen fuel cell vehicles is 62 00:03:20,160 --> 00:03:22,840 Speaker 1: not gonna happen anytime soon because of the infrastructure. And 63 00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:25,000 Speaker 1: I've said that for years and you've agreed with me. 64 00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:28,200 Speaker 1: I think that you know, to put together an infrastructure 65 00:03:28,200 --> 00:03:31,680 Speaker 1: that would support such a method of refueling a vehicle, 66 00:03:32,080 --> 00:03:34,360 Speaker 1: such as natural gas or hydrogen fuel cell is just 67 00:03:34,680 --> 00:03:38,600 Speaker 1: too costly, so it's not gonna happen anyway. More information 68 00:03:38,640 --> 00:03:40,280 Speaker 1: about this radio show you can find us out at 69 00:03:40,320 --> 00:03:42,520 Speaker 1: Car Doctor show dot com. As we kick this hour 70 00:03:42,520 --> 00:03:45,640 Speaker 1: with the Car Doctor off, and like I said, zo 71 00:03:46,440 --> 00:03:48,280 Speaker 1: zero the phone number to get in and give us 72 00:03:48,280 --> 00:03:49,960 Speaker 1: a call and talk to us about your car problem 73 00:03:50,240 --> 00:03:53,119 Speaker 1: this hour and next. In honor of Father's Day, which 74 00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:54,960 Speaker 1: I happened to be one, you know, I want to 75 00:03:54,960 --> 00:03:57,480 Speaker 1: recognize that happy Father's Day to all his fathers out there. 76 00:03:57,520 --> 00:03:59,960 Speaker 1: It's like, boy, hot dog, we got to this point, right, 77 00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:03,400 Speaker 1: Um you know. Uh, and if you're if you're an 78 00:04:03,440 --> 00:04:05,400 Speaker 1: older father and you get to sit back tomorrow and 79 00:04:05,440 --> 00:04:07,200 Speaker 1: you don't have to chase the kids around the barbecue 80 00:04:07,200 --> 00:04:09,960 Speaker 1: while you're barbecuing, more power to you. My kids. My 81 00:04:10,080 --> 00:04:12,960 Speaker 1: kids really understand me. They're older now, and um, they 82 00:04:13,000 --> 00:04:15,480 Speaker 1: just sent me a box of meat. So tomorrow I 83 00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,200 Speaker 1: have to do is go out to the barbecue, fire 84 00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:18,880 Speaker 1: up the egg. I have one of those big green eggs, 85 00:04:18,880 --> 00:04:20,960 Speaker 1: and um, you know, cook up my brisket and my 86 00:04:21,040 --> 00:04:23,400 Speaker 1: ribs and they even did it right because none of 87 00:04:23,400 --> 00:04:26,560 Speaker 1: them live close to home, So all the meats for me. Um, 88 00:04:26,600 --> 00:04:28,520 Speaker 1: so it'll be a real happy Father's day. I get 89 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,200 Speaker 1: to clean the box. Um. This sura gonaven a copy 90 00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,720 Speaker 1: of Richard McCann Classic Car Adventures. We've been talking about 91 00:04:33,839 --> 00:04:36,600 Speaker 1: Richard and some of his adventures, and it's a compilation. 92 00:04:36,600 --> 00:04:39,479 Speaker 1: It's a book. It's a compilation of you know, different things, 93 00:04:39,480 --> 00:04:44,080 Speaker 1: different experiences, people's views of cars from a British perspective. 94 00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:47,000 Speaker 1: I must say, Uh, Richard is from is from merry 95 00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,360 Speaker 1: Old England, and um we enjoyed talking with him from 96 00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,680 Speaker 1: time to time, and his emails obviously come in. But 97 00:04:52,720 --> 00:04:55,839 Speaker 1: he's written a book, a book, Richard McCann Classic Car Adventures. 98 00:04:55,880 --> 00:04:58,160 Speaker 1: We'll give away a couple of copies of that today, Um, 99 00:04:58,200 --> 00:05:00,320 Speaker 1: as the call is permitting, with decisions of the Uh, 100 00:05:00,400 --> 00:05:03,239 Speaker 1: Tom and Mike will be funny, almost said Tom and Tony. 101 00:05:03,480 --> 00:05:05,800 Speaker 1: Tony must be on my mind this today. I don't 102 00:05:05,800 --> 00:05:08,320 Speaker 1: know why, I wonder I will He's okay. Um, I'll 103 00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:10,720 Speaker 1: tell you starty about this Toyota before we before we 104 00:05:10,800 --> 00:05:13,040 Speaker 1: really kick the garage doors open, and and and and 105 00:05:13,080 --> 00:05:16,159 Speaker 1: give you a taste of diagnostics is really what it's about. 106 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:22,120 Speaker 1: So at twenty a two thousand nine Toyota Venza, which 107 00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,839 Speaker 1: is you know, sort of like there. It was a hybrid, 108 00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:26,800 Speaker 1: not a hybrid. It was a Highlander. I got hybrid 109 00:05:26,839 --> 00:05:30,600 Speaker 1: on the brain. It was a Highlander. Um uh for 110 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:34,040 Speaker 1: runner in between suv type thing. Um. I don't even 111 00:05:34,040 --> 00:05:35,160 Speaker 1: know if they still make them. I don't know if 112 00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:37,520 Speaker 1: they make Venzas anymore. I haven't seen them as now 113 00:05:37,560 --> 00:05:39,440 Speaker 1: that I think about it. But it was a Toyota, 114 00:05:39,480 --> 00:05:42,279 Speaker 1: was a decent sized vehicle, four door, and it came 115 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:47,239 Speaker 1: in with ABS traction control and vehicle stability control lights 116 00:05:47,279 --> 00:05:50,280 Speaker 1: on and you know, lit up like a Christmas train. 117 00:05:50,320 --> 00:05:52,479 Speaker 1: If you notice that, you'll see that a lot of 118 00:05:52,480 --> 00:05:54,400 Speaker 1: your cars and and and rightfully sold a lot of 119 00:05:54,440 --> 00:05:56,719 Speaker 1: you panic, which should. It's telling you that there's a 120 00:05:56,720 --> 00:05:59,120 Speaker 1: fault in a system somewhere. It's not to be ignored. 121 00:05:59,520 --> 00:06:01,719 Speaker 1: And the stomer, being smart, brought it in and said, hey, 122 00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:04,920 Speaker 1: you know something's going on. It's it's it's disabled, uh 123 00:06:05,120 --> 00:06:07,440 Speaker 1: traction control. It's got all these warning lights on and 124 00:06:07,480 --> 00:06:09,800 Speaker 1: the cars making these funny clicking sounds, which it was 125 00:06:10,279 --> 00:06:13,000 Speaker 1: the brakes were The A B S controller was doing 126 00:06:13,040 --> 00:06:16,280 Speaker 1: some funky things. And when I scanned it, sent down 127 00:06:16,279 --> 00:06:19,719 Speaker 1: and diagnosed and scanned it, it had multiple fault codes. 128 00:06:19,839 --> 00:06:22,960 Speaker 1: Now listen, this is the key thing to be aware of. 129 00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:27,640 Speaker 1: It had a fault code for a left rear a 130 00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:32,120 Speaker 1: BS censor performance fault, meaning it didn't like what it 131 00:06:32,200 --> 00:06:34,720 Speaker 1: saw as far as the left rear sensor was operating. 132 00:06:35,480 --> 00:06:38,359 Speaker 1: It had a fault for the yaw sensor. Yaw is 133 00:06:38,440 --> 00:06:40,479 Speaker 1: the pitch of the vehicle front back. Think of you 134 00:06:40,520 --> 00:06:42,039 Speaker 1: all the boat. You know the nose up, as the 135 00:06:42,080 --> 00:06:46,200 Speaker 1: nose down, so so forth and so forth and sideways. Um, 136 00:06:46,440 --> 00:06:48,320 Speaker 1: you know which way is the angle of the vehicle. 137 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:51,000 Speaker 1: Is it correct for what it's seen? It had a 138 00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:57,000 Speaker 1: fault code for a right rear a BS circuit full 139 00:06:58,120 --> 00:07:03,160 Speaker 1: sensor circuit full. Where do you start always look at 140 00:07:03,160 --> 00:07:06,919 Speaker 1: the circuit faults? Well, actually the right answer is we 141 00:07:06,960 --> 00:07:09,280 Speaker 1: had multiple code wrote everything down and this is an 142 00:07:09,320 --> 00:07:10,880 Speaker 1: A B S. There isn't a lot of data that 143 00:07:10,920 --> 00:07:12,880 Speaker 1: I can go back and look at, so there's nothing 144 00:07:12,880 --> 00:07:16,360 Speaker 1: wrong with it. Clear codes. What comes back after five minutes, 145 00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,600 Speaker 1: Everything comes back, so at least you know when and 146 00:07:18,640 --> 00:07:20,920 Speaker 1: how everything started. If this was a check engine light, 147 00:07:21,200 --> 00:07:23,640 Speaker 1: I would not be so likely to clear multiple codes 148 00:07:23,680 --> 00:07:25,840 Speaker 1: like that because there's a lot of information and freeze 149 00:07:25,880 --> 00:07:28,280 Speaker 1: frame and other places that I would want to go 150 00:07:28,360 --> 00:07:31,720 Speaker 1: look at. But this being a BS break and traction control, 151 00:07:31,840 --> 00:07:36,080 Speaker 1: it's okay. Always start with the circuit ful right. A 152 00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:39,880 Speaker 1: circuit fault will occur when you turn the key on 153 00:07:40,040 --> 00:07:44,920 Speaker 1: the vehicle doesn't move, and I prove that by clearing 154 00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:49,120 Speaker 1: the codes again, starting it up not moving, and the 155 00:07:49,240 --> 00:07:53,040 Speaker 1: circuit fault came back right away. A circuit fault is 156 00:07:53,080 --> 00:07:55,840 Speaker 1: the computer's way of testing the circuit. It's looking for 157 00:07:55,920 --> 00:07:59,640 Speaker 1: electrical continuity, going out on its pin on the one leg, 158 00:08:00,040 --> 00:08:03,360 Speaker 1: going across the sensor, coming back on the on the 159 00:08:03,400 --> 00:08:06,480 Speaker 1: other leg into the into the anti lock brak controller 160 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:09,200 Speaker 1: or whatever the module is, and it passes that test. 161 00:08:09,560 --> 00:08:13,480 Speaker 1: This car failed that sensor, that circuit. As soon as 162 00:08:13,520 --> 00:08:17,119 Speaker 1: I started to drive three four, seven, ten twenty miles, 163 00:08:17,920 --> 00:08:20,080 Speaker 1: it picked up the ur rate fault, and it picked 164 00:08:20,160 --> 00:08:23,200 Speaker 1: up the left rear sensor as a fault, but it 165 00:08:23,280 --> 00:08:29,080 Speaker 1: was left rear center performance, not circuit. I graphed all 166 00:08:29,120 --> 00:08:31,560 Speaker 1: four centers. I took out a scan tool, set up 167 00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:33,200 Speaker 1: a set up a scan tool so that I could 168 00:08:33,240 --> 00:08:36,000 Speaker 1: graph the movement of all four censors and a wheel 169 00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,080 Speaker 1: speed sensor, it'll look like it'll look like a ticker 170 00:08:39,120 --> 00:08:41,520 Speaker 1: on the stock market. It's climbing, it's climbing. It's climbing. 171 00:08:41,600 --> 00:08:44,560 Speaker 1: Your speed is accelerating, your speed slows down. It falls, 172 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:46,920 Speaker 1: it falls, it falls. It climbs and climbs and climbs. 173 00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:49,160 Speaker 1: It's a wave. It's a it's a constant motion and 174 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,440 Speaker 1: arc in relation to the speed of the tire, in 175 00:08:51,520 --> 00:08:55,080 Speaker 1: relation to the speed of the vehicle. Well of the 176 00:08:55,120 --> 00:08:58,160 Speaker 1: four censors left front, right front, right rear, left rear, 177 00:08:58,720 --> 00:09:02,720 Speaker 1: the right rear looked like UM, a heart monitor that 178 00:09:02,920 --> 00:09:06,440 Speaker 1: the heart wasn't pumping anymore, was just flatlined. Everything else 179 00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:10,080 Speaker 1: was moving. The left rear sensor showed fine, there was 180 00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:16,000 Speaker 1: nothing wrong with it. Went through a vault test on 181 00:09:16,040 --> 00:09:19,080 Speaker 1: the right rear sensor, UM did alms, which I'm not 182 00:09:19,120 --> 00:09:22,800 Speaker 1: real crazy about. But I went through a bias voltage test. 183 00:09:22,840 --> 00:09:25,880 Speaker 1: A bias voltage test will you're looking to see what 184 00:09:26,040 --> 00:09:28,920 Speaker 1: voltage is on the circuit being sent out by the 185 00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:32,000 Speaker 1: anti lock brake controller in this case, and naturally I 186 00:09:32,040 --> 00:09:35,320 Speaker 1: went to the left rear first. What voltage should I 187 00:09:35,360 --> 00:09:38,640 Speaker 1: see on the sensor that's putting out. When I found 188 00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:40,800 Speaker 1: that voltage, I went over to the right side and 189 00:09:40,840 --> 00:09:43,640 Speaker 1: I found the exact same voltage. So I know that 190 00:09:43,640 --> 00:09:46,320 Speaker 1: the controller, the circuit itself is good. I know that 191 00:09:46,360 --> 00:09:49,679 Speaker 1: the voltage is there. It's just that I need a sensor. Now. 192 00:09:49,720 --> 00:09:53,120 Speaker 1: I look at my home test, and there was there 193 00:09:53,160 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 1: was enough of a difference. But it was six hundred 194 00:09:55,520 --> 00:09:59,080 Speaker 1: million alms versus four hundred million homes. There was enough 195 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:02,160 Speaker 1: of a difference that at okay, let's put a sensor 196 00:10:02,160 --> 00:10:05,440 Speaker 1: in the car. Put a sensor in the car, and yes, 197 00:10:05,640 --> 00:10:08,920 Speaker 1: it fixed it. And that was the only thing wrong 198 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:11,400 Speaker 1: with the car. It was only one sensor for three 199 00:10:11,440 --> 00:10:15,520 Speaker 1: fauld codes, three fold codes that had only separate relationships 200 00:10:15,520 --> 00:10:18,040 Speaker 1: to individual other parts. You don't need to have a 201 00:10:18,080 --> 00:10:20,800 Speaker 1: parts explosion, you don't need to use a parts shotgun 202 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,200 Speaker 1: to fix cars. You just have to think a little bit, 203 00:10:23,760 --> 00:10:26,880 Speaker 1: all right. Sometimes you need to prove what's bad. You 204 00:10:26,920 --> 00:10:28,640 Speaker 1: need to you know, what can you test out of 205 00:10:28,679 --> 00:10:31,480 Speaker 1: the three components at your rate sensor or left ear sensor, 206 00:10:31,520 --> 00:10:33,920 Speaker 1: and a right rear sensor. The right rear was the 207 00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:36,600 Speaker 1: easiest one to prove because of the type of code 208 00:10:36,600 --> 00:10:39,440 Speaker 1: that it was. It was a circuit ful, not a 209 00:10:39,480 --> 00:10:42,840 Speaker 1: performance fault. My theory is that the reason the left 210 00:10:42,840 --> 00:10:45,600 Speaker 1: rear was setting a fault code was that somewhere along 211 00:10:45,640 --> 00:10:48,800 Speaker 1: the way the computer was comparing left and right and 212 00:10:48,880 --> 00:10:50,720 Speaker 1: didn't like what it saw. And I'd be willing to 213 00:10:50,800 --> 00:10:54,280 Speaker 1: bet there's a software update to correct its logic and 214 00:10:54,320 --> 00:10:57,240 Speaker 1: its way of thinking that if the right rear goes out, 215 00:10:57,280 --> 00:10:59,400 Speaker 1: it doesn't affect the way the left rear is judged. 216 00:11:00,040 --> 00:11:02,320 Speaker 1: But in this case it didn't matter. Putting a right 217 00:11:02,320 --> 00:11:05,120 Speaker 1: rear censor in the car fixed it and looking at it. 218 00:11:05,160 --> 00:11:07,480 Speaker 1: And your takeaway from this and most important thing is 219 00:11:07,480 --> 00:11:10,040 Speaker 1: if you're trying to fix something like this is read 220 00:11:10,080 --> 00:11:13,280 Speaker 1: the code. What's the description A circuit fault takes precedent 221 00:11:13,320 --> 00:11:16,600 Speaker 1: over a performance fault? Fixed the circuit fault. First, I'm 222 00:11:16,640 --> 00:11:20,559 Speaker 1: Rondy in the car doctor zero zero. We'll be back 223 00:11:20,559 --> 00:11:27,040 Speaker 1: to open the garage doors right after this. He drives 224 00:11:27,080 --> 00:11:29,280 Speaker 1: that way. But when it comes to fixing cars, Ron 225 00:11:29,360 --> 00:11:32,760 Speaker 1: has card advice done right eight five five five zero 226 00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:36,439 Speaker 1: nine nine zero zero. Here's Rod. Hey, let's get over 227 00:11:36,480 --> 00:11:39,000 Speaker 1: and talk to Gary in Maine. Oh eight hunday. Gary, 228 00:11:39,040 --> 00:11:41,720 Speaker 1: Welcome to the car, doctor, sir. How can I help, well, 229 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:45,960 Speaker 1: good afternoon, Thank you very much taking the call. UH. 230 00:11:46,120 --> 00:11:49,760 Speaker 1: And I'm probably like most people. I have a hundred 231 00:11:49,800 --> 00:11:53,080 Speaker 1: years zero two thousand eight limited, very low mileage fifty 232 00:11:53,080 --> 00:11:57,400 Speaker 1: two thous miles, very sweet vehicle, uh litlely was owned 233 00:11:57,440 --> 00:12:00,960 Speaker 1: by a little old lady. What I've got going on? 234 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,560 Speaker 1: And I just got it back out of the shop Friday, 235 00:12:03,600 --> 00:12:06,040 Speaker 1: So I don't even know if I'm fixed yet, but 236 00:12:06,240 --> 00:12:09,080 Speaker 1: I we had been on vacation for week at ten 237 00:12:09,200 --> 00:12:11,080 Speaker 1: days and the car had been in the garage which 238 00:12:11,120 --> 00:12:13,960 Speaker 1: is seated. UH. And when we come back, I started 239 00:12:13,960 --> 00:12:16,520 Speaker 1: the car up, went to go somewhere with it, and 240 00:12:16,800 --> 00:12:20,840 Speaker 1: it rattled and claimed, and it gave the impression of 241 00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,720 Speaker 1: old school as if there was an automatic choke stuck, 242 00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,440 Speaker 1: very very bad set of skipping, and it wouldn't clear. 243 00:12:27,520 --> 00:12:30,280 Speaker 1: With trying to clear this fartle UH turned the car 244 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:34,679 Speaker 1: off and found that utterly amazing because the car had 245 00:12:34,679 --> 00:12:38,720 Speaker 1: given no signs or whatsoever any problems. Simply turned it 246 00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:41,640 Speaker 1: off and UH waited a couple of minutes and went 247 00:12:41,640 --> 00:12:46,800 Speaker 1: outside it again and it was fine, So I well, 248 00:12:46,840 --> 00:12:50,160 Speaker 1: it was running good. I quickly drove it into probably 249 00:12:50,240 --> 00:12:52,559 Speaker 1: six or seven miles into the shop and packed it 250 00:12:52,600 --> 00:12:54,439 Speaker 1: and said it needs fixtion for some reason or other. 251 00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:57,480 Speaker 1: Of course we started it up. It was from into 252 00:12:57,520 --> 00:12:59,920 Speaker 1: the shop. It was the Proverbi. You will go to 253 00:13:00,000 --> 00:13:02,120 Speaker 1: the dentist. I don't have a toothing anymore. It purred 254 00:13:02,160 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: like a kitten. They put the computer on it and 255 00:13:05,679 --> 00:13:08,440 Speaker 1: it showed the code, and I don't know what the 256 00:13:08,480 --> 00:13:11,120 Speaker 1: code was. I never did see it, but they were 257 00:13:11,440 --> 00:13:17,760 Speaker 1: come back where it's the number three coil. So of 258 00:13:17,800 --> 00:13:19,840 Speaker 1: course to fix it for that, as you tear the 259 00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,880 Speaker 1: intake manifold off and you put a new coil in it, well, 260 00:13:23,400 --> 00:13:27,320 Speaker 1: we put one three and five in it after market coils, 261 00:13:27,360 --> 00:13:32,000 Speaker 1: because it's so much work to replace one and put 262 00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 1: new plugs in at the same time. The plugs were 263 00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:37,600 Speaker 1: all fouled up and and everybody was happy. We went 264 00:13:37,640 --> 00:13:39,840 Speaker 1: away until two or three days later and did the 265 00:13:39,880 --> 00:13:44,800 Speaker 1: same thing, and it progressively, UH continue to have a 266 00:13:44,880 --> 00:13:47,400 Speaker 1: mind of its own. You started up, it might bother 267 00:13:48,120 --> 00:13:50,480 Speaker 1: uh in the coast of check engine light we come on. 268 00:13:50,760 --> 00:13:54,240 Speaker 1: You shut it completely off. Counter thirty party started up 269 00:13:54,240 --> 00:13:57,280 Speaker 1: and it was perfectly fine. And I do mean you 270 00:13:57,320 --> 00:13:59,280 Speaker 1: could have a full glass of water and it and 271 00:13:59,360 --> 00:14:01,520 Speaker 1: it would hardly show a vibration, was it was it 272 00:14:01,600 --> 00:14:06,959 Speaker 1: still showing a misfire or cylinder three? Yes, so it 273 00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:13,000 Speaker 1: still comes back to the same cylinder. Yes. And the 274 00:14:13,040 --> 00:14:15,800 Speaker 1: summation was, well, we must have got a bad aftermarket 275 00:14:15,800 --> 00:14:19,440 Speaker 1: coil or we need a Honda coil rather than that one, 276 00:14:19,760 --> 00:14:22,160 Speaker 1: because the plug was obviously brand new and everything else. 277 00:14:22,240 --> 00:14:25,400 Speaker 1: So then we chased it further down road and we 278 00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,960 Speaker 1: had that coil probably six I'm sorry that code six 279 00:14:29,080 --> 00:14:34,440 Speaker 1: or eight times on number three, even with that new 280 00:14:34,480 --> 00:14:37,080 Speaker 1: coil in it. Uh. I was quite adamant that I 281 00:14:37,080 --> 00:14:39,760 Speaker 1: don't believe it's a coil in the first place. Uh, 282 00:14:39,920 --> 00:14:42,320 Speaker 1: it's something else. I just don't know what. And it's 283 00:14:42,320 --> 00:14:46,320 Speaker 1: not this back blug because that's brand new. Well Honda service. 284 00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:50,560 Speaker 1: Their protocol is when you have something like that, you 285 00:14:50,640 --> 00:14:53,400 Speaker 1: take it back a pat and you will move coil 286 00:14:53,440 --> 00:14:57,560 Speaker 1: three to one. And that's and that's what everybody does, Gary, 287 00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,880 Speaker 1: I mean, that's not unusual. That's and that's what you're 288 00:14:59,880 --> 00:15:01,800 Speaker 1: doing doing as you're you're splitting it up and said, 289 00:15:02,280 --> 00:15:04,840 Speaker 1: you know, taking things and separating it. You move the 290 00:15:04,880 --> 00:15:06,920 Speaker 1: coil to a different cylinder, you move the plug to 291 00:15:07,000 --> 00:15:10,280 Speaker 1: a different cylinder, and I bet what ended up happening 292 00:15:10,400 --> 00:15:13,600 Speaker 1: was you still had a misfire on cylinder three, and 293 00:15:13,760 --> 00:15:16,280 Speaker 1: that I haven't proven yet. We moved all that stuff 294 00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:19,240 Speaker 1: because I was blocking against spending all the money taken 295 00:15:19,280 --> 00:15:22,280 Speaker 1: into all backup at in doing this again, and and 296 00:15:22,680 --> 00:15:25,000 Speaker 1: was questioning, well, how do we know it's not an injector? 297 00:15:26,000 --> 00:15:29,280 Speaker 1: Where does number three coil? Where does it get its information? 298 00:15:30,080 --> 00:15:32,480 Speaker 1: Where I don't ever believe it was of a number 299 00:15:32,520 --> 00:15:35,360 Speaker 1: three coil in the first place. The chances are the 300 00:15:35,560 --> 00:15:37,920 Speaker 1: likelihood of getting putting a brand new coil in it 301 00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,760 Speaker 1: on one, three and five, even if it was after 302 00:15:40,880 --> 00:15:43,760 Speaker 1: market for a number three coil to come up again, 303 00:15:43,800 --> 00:15:46,920 Speaker 1: that you got one of the three million defective one 304 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:50,720 Speaker 1: in three million defective ones, not very likely. But now 305 00:15:50,760 --> 00:15:52,800 Speaker 1: here look at But now think about this though, and 306 00:15:52,880 --> 00:15:54,400 Speaker 1: I know where you're going, and I get where you're 307 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:59,320 Speaker 1: coming from. So you know the logic the shop is using, 308 00:15:59,400 --> 00:16:02,240 Speaker 1: as far as you know, taking the intake manifold apart. 309 00:16:02,280 --> 00:16:05,400 Speaker 1: If they took the intake manifold apart, spread the coil 310 00:16:05,440 --> 00:16:07,600 Speaker 1: on the plug apart and put it into different cylinders 311 00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,800 Speaker 1: and put it back together, and then the fold came 312 00:16:09,840 --> 00:16:12,440 Speaker 1: back to cylinder three. Would you have been annoyed with that? 313 00:16:12,600 --> 00:16:14,720 Speaker 1: Or would you have been would you have been happy 314 00:16:14,800 --> 00:16:16,880 Speaker 1: that at least it was attempted to be diagnosed first 315 00:16:16,920 --> 00:16:19,080 Speaker 1: before they started changing parts. And I'm just curious for 316 00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:23,160 Speaker 1: an answer. I'd have been happy with that. So uh. 317 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,200 Speaker 1: And the reason I say that is I'm a old 318 00:16:25,240 --> 00:16:29,680 Speaker 1: school mechanic. Uh. Because the computer says it's number three. 319 00:16:29,760 --> 00:16:32,640 Speaker 1: Well is it the injecta? It's not the spact, but 320 00:16:32,760 --> 00:16:34,800 Speaker 1: because we put a brand new spact, but so likely 321 00:16:34,880 --> 00:16:36,840 Speaker 1: to it again of getting a bad plug. I mean, 322 00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:40,120 Speaker 1: it's just astronomical. Well, i'll tell you what though, it's astronomical, 323 00:16:40,200 --> 00:16:42,280 Speaker 1: but i West Prospect Street in Walden, New Jersey, it 324 00:16:42,320 --> 00:16:46,560 Speaker 1: seems to happen. I'll tell you. Um, I wouldn't. I 325 00:16:46,600 --> 00:16:49,440 Speaker 1: wouldn't rule it out, but I know where you're coming from. Listen, 326 00:16:49,760 --> 00:16:53,240 Speaker 1: the question is this all right? Is this your regular 327 00:16:53,320 --> 00:16:55,240 Speaker 1: mechanic doing the car? I mean you've you've worked with 328 00:16:55,280 --> 00:16:58,640 Speaker 1: this guy before. Yes, I've had it at the Honda 329 00:16:58,760 --> 00:17:01,760 Speaker 1: dealership and I know them personally, and I've also had 330 00:17:01,800 --> 00:17:04,399 Speaker 1: it at a crack of Jack mechanic here where I 331 00:17:04,480 --> 00:17:07,560 Speaker 1: bought the car. He's very very good, Okay, And and 332 00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,000 Speaker 1: so far nobody's been able to resolve it. I don't 333 00:17:11,080 --> 00:17:13,560 Speaker 1: know that yet because I just got the car back out. 334 00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:17,440 Speaker 1: They tore the intake manifold off again, all new gaskets, 335 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,960 Speaker 1: all that stuff. Another poll hunted box. Uh. They moved 336 00:17:21,000 --> 00:17:23,479 Speaker 1: the plugs just because they had a fat I told him, 337 00:17:24,080 --> 00:17:28,239 Speaker 1: asked him please replace the inject on that, because as 338 00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,359 Speaker 1: I understand it, the computer doesn't know the difference between 339 00:17:31,800 --> 00:17:34,200 Speaker 1: it was the coil. It was fact like it does inject. 340 00:17:34,240 --> 00:17:37,119 Speaker 1: That was If you look at the description of the code, 341 00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:42,920 Speaker 1: the code says misfire. It never says ignition, or it 342 00:17:43,040 --> 00:17:46,720 Speaker 1: never says coil. It says misfire. In that case, it's 343 00:17:46,760 --> 00:17:49,560 Speaker 1: probably most likely was a P zero three or three, 344 00:17:49,600 --> 00:17:53,000 Speaker 1: which is a misfire on cylinder three. And it's not 345 00:17:53,160 --> 00:17:56,240 Speaker 1: a case of it's just it's it's it's not actually 346 00:17:56,359 --> 00:17:59,040 Speaker 1: pointing towards the coil. Gary, sit tight for a minute. 347 00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:00,720 Speaker 1: Let me let me pull over and take this pause, 348 00:18:00,760 --> 00:18:02,119 Speaker 1: and we'll finish up when I come back. I'm on 349 00:18:02,200 --> 00:18:04,200 Speaker 1: any of the Car Doctor. We'll be back right after this. 350 00:18:31,960 --> 00:18:33,920 Speaker 1: Welcome back on any of the Car Doctor. We're talking 351 00:18:33,960 --> 00:18:35,679 Speaker 1: with Gary and me, and Gary, you're still there, sir. 352 00:18:38,000 --> 00:18:40,560 Speaker 1: So what I want to be clear is and let's 353 00:18:40,880 --> 00:18:43,119 Speaker 1: you know what, however, the mechanic handle that he handled it. 354 00:18:43,200 --> 00:18:44,680 Speaker 1: It sounds like he was trying to do his job. 355 00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: But you know, I'm not going to defend him or 356 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:49,120 Speaker 1: criticized him. I just, you know what, it's always easy 357 00:18:49,160 --> 00:18:50,879 Speaker 1: when you're sitting in the chair after the fact to 358 00:18:50,920 --> 00:18:53,480 Speaker 1: say what it could have should So let's let's talk 359 00:18:53,520 --> 00:18:55,520 Speaker 1: about fixing the car, because I think in the end 360 00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:57,119 Speaker 1: what's gonna happen is you're gonna go and talk to 361 00:18:57,200 --> 00:19:00,359 Speaker 1: this mechanic. He's your regular mechanic, and you know what, 362 00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:02,520 Speaker 1: he'll make some amends. You'll make some amends, and you'll 363 00:19:02,560 --> 00:19:05,080 Speaker 1: both walk away having learned from the experience. And that's 364 00:19:05,080 --> 00:19:07,440 Speaker 1: what That's what cars are today. It's it's every time 365 00:19:07,480 --> 00:19:10,240 Speaker 1: you work on one with something like this, it's an experience. 366 00:19:10,280 --> 00:19:13,120 Speaker 1: It's an intermittent fault that happens, you know, once every 367 00:19:13,160 --> 00:19:15,800 Speaker 1: third Tuesday in a blue moon. What I what I 368 00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:17,760 Speaker 1: want to be sure to get to you is as 369 00:19:17,800 --> 00:19:21,280 Speaker 1: far as information is a couple of things. One. Um. Again, 370 00:19:21,320 --> 00:19:23,920 Speaker 1: I don't want to criticize anybody. Did he check all 371 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 1: engine grounds the ground that the negative cable coming off 372 00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: the battery and any grounds around the back of the 373 00:19:29,560 --> 00:19:32,719 Speaker 1: intake manifolder side of the cylinder head. All the grounds 374 00:19:32,800 --> 00:19:35,800 Speaker 1: on cars today are critical hyundays seem to have problems 375 00:19:35,880 --> 00:19:38,399 Speaker 1: with them. Because I'm thinking about your comment that the 376 00:19:38,440 --> 00:19:41,400 Speaker 1: car sat for ten days. What changed in that ten 377 00:19:41,520 --> 00:19:46,160 Speaker 1: days that something rust is there? Is there the possibility 378 00:19:46,320 --> 00:19:49,560 Speaker 1: that well, you said it was a heated garage, but 379 00:19:50,160 --> 00:19:54,320 Speaker 1: you know, things stay dormant and funny things occur. Houses 380 00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,879 Speaker 1: that sit empty and cars that sit on us do 381 00:19:57,119 --> 00:20:00,480 Speaker 1: funny things, you know what I'm saying. Yeah, and that 382 00:20:00,720 --> 00:20:03,800 Speaker 1: may you may have hit on something because that I've 383 00:20:03,840 --> 00:20:06,760 Speaker 1: had several occasions during this whole thing of chasing that 384 00:20:07,160 --> 00:20:10,719 Speaker 1: that code around uh and currently it's bother than three 385 00:20:10,760 --> 00:20:13,800 Speaker 1: times today I had a couple of instances where I 386 00:20:13,880 --> 00:20:19,000 Speaker 1: went to start the car and accessories works, and everything 387 00:20:19,080 --> 00:20:21,600 Speaker 1: worked until you get over into the ignition part of it, 388 00:20:22,119 --> 00:20:24,920 Speaker 1: and it was as if there was zero ground or 389 00:20:25,000 --> 00:20:27,520 Speaker 1: zero power. It just took the lights others on the 390 00:20:27,600 --> 00:20:29,280 Speaker 1: dash and did nothing. And then all of a sudden 391 00:20:29,320 --> 00:20:32,760 Speaker 1: they came back, and if you held it, it came 392 00:20:32,800 --> 00:20:35,960 Speaker 1: and started. And now today it's done it and it 393 00:20:36,080 --> 00:20:39,639 Speaker 1: did that very very intimatedent, so I couldn't even tell 394 00:20:39,680 --> 00:20:41,199 Speaker 1: a little shoot that I just turned the key too 395 00:20:41,280 --> 00:20:44,359 Speaker 1: fast to what did I do? It would always start today, 396 00:20:44,440 --> 00:20:47,880 Speaker 1: though it's done it four times, put it to that ignition, 397 00:20:48,160 --> 00:20:50,840 Speaker 1: and it just actaus if you're just not even there right, 398 00:20:51,000 --> 00:20:52,919 Speaker 1: it's it's it's sort of a stutter, and it kind 399 00:20:52,960 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: of happened so fast you're looking and going did that 400 00:20:55,680 --> 00:20:59,720 Speaker 1: really happened? Wait a minute, Yeah that happened. What happened? Yeah, 401 00:21:00,040 --> 00:21:04,320 Speaker 1: So you know, obviously clean battery terminals um a very 402 00:21:04,440 --> 00:21:07,040 Speaker 1: good battery test. And and I can't stress this enough 403 00:21:07,560 --> 00:21:10,560 Speaker 1: that every diagnosis today really needs to begin with a 404 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:13,360 Speaker 1: load test on the battery to see what cold cranking 405 00:21:13,400 --> 00:21:16,920 Speaker 1: amps are and reserve capacity. One of the tests that 406 00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:19,560 Speaker 1: we do for reserve capacity, one of the easiest things 407 00:21:19,600 --> 00:21:21,800 Speaker 1: to do is leave the ignition key on, open the door, 408 00:21:21,880 --> 00:21:24,120 Speaker 1: and five minutes later you better be able to start 409 00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:26,800 Speaker 1: the car. Alright, just a general rule of thumb. There 410 00:21:26,920 --> 00:21:29,080 Speaker 1: is no other test that I know of a reserve capacity, 411 00:21:29,119 --> 00:21:30,639 Speaker 1: but you just want to see what the reserve rate is. 412 00:21:30,720 --> 00:21:35,359 Speaker 1: If if there's a new battery, well just remember new 413 00:21:35,400 --> 00:21:38,719 Speaker 1: doesn't mean good, new means never ever worked. You know that? Alright, 414 00:21:38,800 --> 00:21:41,119 Speaker 1: So let's let's let's get over that. That's like the 415 00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:43,199 Speaker 1: new spark plug. New just means that, well, we put 416 00:21:43,240 --> 00:21:44,320 Speaker 1: a new plug in it. We don't know if it 417 00:21:44,400 --> 00:21:47,400 Speaker 1: worked yet. The car is not fixed. But let's look 418 00:21:47,440 --> 00:21:50,200 Speaker 1: at battery. Let's look at terminals, you know, connections. Let's 419 00:21:50,200 --> 00:21:53,280 Speaker 1: look at the ground side, and just for giggles, let's 420 00:21:53,320 --> 00:21:55,719 Speaker 1: look down at the the where the positive cable goes 421 00:21:55,800 --> 00:21:57,640 Speaker 1: and make sure that's all good, clean and tight. Let's 422 00:21:57,640 --> 00:21:59,879 Speaker 1: look around the back of the intake for clean can 423 00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:01,879 Speaker 1: actions lot, look around the cylinder head. Do we have 424 00:22:01,960 --> 00:22:05,240 Speaker 1: good grounds? That's all we just you know, wiggle jiggle, Yes, 425 00:22:05,320 --> 00:22:07,520 Speaker 1: you're I think I think you're on the right idea 426 00:22:07,560 --> 00:22:09,560 Speaker 1: that you know. This obviously is an ignition because it 427 00:22:09,640 --> 00:22:12,320 Speaker 1: never says ignition. It says misfire. It says there's a 428 00:22:12,400 --> 00:22:15,840 Speaker 1: problem with number three. Um. One of the uglier things 429 00:22:15,920 --> 00:22:19,000 Speaker 1: I've seen with oh eight yndaia Zerra's, as a matter 430 00:22:19,040 --> 00:22:21,280 Speaker 1: of fact, is I've run into three cars with bad 431 00:22:21,359 --> 00:22:25,280 Speaker 1: wiring harnesses where the harnesses themselves have issues laying across 432 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:27,440 Speaker 1: the laying across the valve cover, the part that feeds 433 00:22:27,480 --> 00:22:30,800 Speaker 1: into the injector. It's not common. It's kind of hard 434 00:22:30,840 --> 00:22:33,399 Speaker 1: to find. You have to sort of manipulate the harness 435 00:22:33,440 --> 00:22:35,639 Speaker 1: while the vehicle is running to see if there's any change. 436 00:22:36,280 --> 00:22:38,359 Speaker 1: But you know, it's just something to keep in the 437 00:22:38,440 --> 00:22:42,320 Speaker 1: back of your mind. Last has anybody looked at or 438 00:22:42,400 --> 00:22:46,760 Speaker 1: considered any software updates as far as for the PCM, 439 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:51,320 Speaker 1: I had the und garage checked that because I wouldn't know, 440 00:22:51,640 --> 00:22:53,840 Speaker 1: and that's what I had. You is it spokes to 441 00:22:53,920 --> 00:22:57,480 Speaker 1: have anything on that computer? Right? Uh, well, yeah, they'll 442 00:22:57,520 --> 00:23:00,639 Speaker 1: they'll be, they'll be. You know, um Soft are updates. 443 00:23:00,680 --> 00:23:03,840 Speaker 1: And there was a couple if I recall correctly, a 444 00:23:03,920 --> 00:23:07,600 Speaker 1: few years back that with regard to the way the vehicle, 445 00:23:07,680 --> 00:23:12,520 Speaker 1: this particular vehicle, it's strategy for detecting misfires, some of 446 00:23:12,560 --> 00:23:15,119 Speaker 1: the operating parameters were a little outside the scope of 447 00:23:15,200 --> 00:23:16,800 Speaker 1: what they needed to be, and hun they made some 448 00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:19,239 Speaker 1: changes with the software update. So as long as it's 449 00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:21,920 Speaker 1: got current software, we can just cross it off the list. 450 00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:23,639 Speaker 1: We don't need to know what's in the update. We 451 00:23:23,760 --> 00:23:25,080 Speaker 1: just want to make sure that it's been done and 452 00:23:25,080 --> 00:23:28,040 Speaker 1: then it's got the most current level of software available 453 00:23:28,080 --> 00:23:30,520 Speaker 1: to it, you know. After that, Yeah, then we're gonna 454 00:23:30,560 --> 00:23:35,359 Speaker 1: start to talk about injectors. I've never seen an intermittent 455 00:23:35,480 --> 00:23:38,040 Speaker 1: mechanical fault. I don't want to say never. I've been 456 00:23:38,040 --> 00:23:41,080 Speaker 1: fixing cars so long. I forget sometimes, but it's not 457 00:23:41,480 --> 00:23:43,320 Speaker 1: it's not a problem. Maybe I've seen it once or time. 458 00:23:43,320 --> 00:23:46,080 Speaker 1: Actually I take that back. I did see it twice once. 459 00:23:46,119 --> 00:23:49,280 Speaker 1: I can remember specifically. It was a small block Chevy 460 00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:51,840 Speaker 1: that had a dual valve spring, and the spring would 461 00:23:51,880 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 1: wind up and release and wind up and release on 462 00:23:54,960 --> 00:23:56,800 Speaker 1: the intake valve, and it would make a misfire on 463 00:23:56,920 --> 00:23:59,240 Speaker 1: one cylinder as the engine was running, and that was 464 00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,400 Speaker 1: an intermittent misfire. Of course, we're gonna have codes on cars. 465 00:24:02,480 --> 00:24:04,680 Speaker 1: Then it was an older car, but the idea would 466 00:24:04,720 --> 00:24:08,200 Speaker 1: have still been the same. So I think you're chasing 467 00:24:08,280 --> 00:24:10,760 Speaker 1: injector at that point if you eliminate all these other things. 468 00:24:11,480 --> 00:24:15,480 Speaker 1: And the confusing path to me was if it was 469 00:24:15,640 --> 00:24:20,240 Speaker 1: a coil. I could not comprehend. My old school mechanics 470 00:24:20,640 --> 00:24:24,560 Speaker 1: me simply shutting the car off, waiting thirty seconds or 471 00:24:24,640 --> 00:24:29,480 Speaker 1: less or more, start the car and it's absolutely fine. Well, 472 00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:33,720 Speaker 1: here's why I'll put that to rest. Hyundai has a 473 00:24:33,880 --> 00:24:37,040 Speaker 1: misfire strategy, and I believe it exists on this car too, 474 00:24:37,480 --> 00:24:40,760 Speaker 1: that if it detects a miss, it's actually going to 475 00:24:40,880 --> 00:24:44,680 Speaker 1: shut down the injector, all right. If it detects a 476 00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:46,960 Speaker 1: miss on the cylinder, it'll kill fuel going into that 477 00:24:47,040 --> 00:24:50,840 Speaker 1: cylinder so that you don't overlottle the catalytic converter. And 478 00:24:51,000 --> 00:24:53,280 Speaker 1: when you start the car back up if the miss, 479 00:24:53,960 --> 00:24:57,840 Speaker 1: if the miss is gone, it's because it reset itself 480 00:24:57,920 --> 00:25:00,520 Speaker 1: in a sense, all right that now when you go 481 00:25:00,640 --> 00:25:03,399 Speaker 1: to restart it, when you go to restart it, if 482 00:25:03,440 --> 00:25:06,320 Speaker 1: the miss isn't there cranking or on startup, it will 483 00:25:06,359 --> 00:25:08,920 Speaker 1: allow that injector to continue to fire. You understand what 484 00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: I'm saying. So it's it's it's so that that could be. 485 00:25:12,880 --> 00:25:16,160 Speaker 1: You know, that act tells me that the computer accurately 486 00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:19,720 Speaker 1: saw a misfire and you're doing a reset and that's 487 00:25:19,720 --> 00:25:23,200 Speaker 1: exactly what it's doing. So, um, you know that's that's 488 00:25:23,240 --> 00:25:25,560 Speaker 1: a possibility. But have them go through those things that 489 00:25:25,600 --> 00:25:27,840 Speaker 1: we just talked about and let's see what Let's see 490 00:25:27,840 --> 00:25:29,960 Speaker 1: what that does as far as solving it for you. 491 00:25:29,960 --> 00:25:31,280 Speaker 1: And if it doesn't, you give me a call back 492 00:25:31,359 --> 00:25:33,360 Speaker 1: next week and we can talk about it some more. 493 00:25:33,440 --> 00:25:36,520 Speaker 1: All right, sir, we will do and I appreciate your help. 494 00:25:36,560 --> 00:25:38,600 Speaker 1: All right, listen, Gary, stay on the phone because Tom 495 00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:41,200 Speaker 1: wants to get your information.

Let's get 518 00:26:48,040 --> 00:26:50,680 Speaker 1: over to Carl in Illinois's who Chevy Silverado? Yes, Carl, 519 00:26:50,720 --> 00:26:54,320 Speaker 1: how can I help? I'm high, it's Paul. Oh, I'm sorry, 520 00:26:54,400 --> 00:27:00,480 Speaker 1: and no problem, it's not in h each just to 521 00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:05,639 Speaker 1: red to regular cab long bed two wheel drive has 522 00:27:05,720 --> 00:27:09,400 Speaker 1: a six liter gas motor of four l a transmission, 523 00:27:10,160 --> 00:27:15,119 Speaker 1: and UH four point one rear axle. Up until recently, 524 00:27:15,400 --> 00:27:17,320 Speaker 1: the biggest thing I've towed with it has been a 525 00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:20,000 Speaker 1: car trailer that probably weighed about six thousand pounds and 526 00:27:20,040 --> 00:27:24,159 Speaker 1: never had any issues. Um. We just recently purchased a 527 00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:29,160 Speaker 1: smaller fifth wheel trailer that, according to the sticker weights 528 00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:31,960 Speaker 1: on the trailer, the gross weight to that trailers ten thousand, 529 00:27:32,040 --> 00:27:35,639 Speaker 1: two hundred and the empty weights about sevent six hundred pounds. 530 00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:39,399 Speaker 1: But I have not pulled it across the scale to 531 00:27:39,440 --> 00:27:45,760 Speaker 1: know how realistic those numbers are. But the dispects. Looking 532 00:27:45,800 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: in the owner's manual of the truck, the gross weight 533 00:27:49,520 --> 00:27:52,520 Speaker 1: telling of the trailer should be ten thousand, five hundred 534 00:27:53,480 --> 00:27:57,120 Speaker 1: and the gross combined weight rating of sixteen thousand. Well, 535 00:27:57,160 --> 00:27:59,600 Speaker 1: I've tried to tow this trailer twice, and both times 536 00:27:59,640 --> 00:28:01,800 Speaker 1: I've got about twenty or twenty five miles down the 537 00:28:01,920 --> 00:28:05,920 Speaker 1: road and the transmission temperature is saying fine, but the engine, 538 00:28:06,440 --> 00:28:09,880 Speaker 1: the the engine cooling temperature is going through the roof. 539 00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:13,639 Speaker 1: So I've had it towed home twice. Well, actually the 540 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,320 Speaker 1: first time, I had the trailer toe back and I 541 00:28:15,440 --> 00:28:17,359 Speaker 1: had the truck cool off for a couple of hours, 542 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:20,960 Speaker 1: and I drove it home without the trailer about eighty 543 00:28:21,040 --> 00:28:24,760 Speaker 1: miles and didn't have any issues. Um, My mechanics looked 544 00:28:24,800 --> 00:28:27,560 Speaker 1: at it, and the last thing that they did is 545 00:28:27,800 --> 00:28:31,399 Speaker 1: they changed the thermostat out from agree to a one 546 00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:36,239 Speaker 1: sixty degree thermostat. But I don't know if that's gonna help. 547 00:28:36,280 --> 00:28:38,200 Speaker 1: I'm almost at the point where I don't really trust 548 00:28:38,280 --> 00:28:40,600 Speaker 1: that this truck is really capable of calling that trailer, 549 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:43,520 Speaker 1: and and I'm I'm gonna have to be in agreement 550 00:28:43,560 --> 00:28:46,560 Speaker 1: with you, you know, changing from the one one sixty. 551 00:28:46,640 --> 00:28:48,600 Speaker 1: The problem is going to be that when the trailer 552 00:28:48,680 --> 00:28:51,440 Speaker 1: is not on there, engine temperature is gonna run a 553 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:54,640 Speaker 1: little cooler in all likelihood, especially in the after months, 554 00:28:54,720 --> 00:28:58,200 Speaker 1: unless you're gonna change it back, and you know you're 555 00:28:58,200 --> 00:29:02,160 Speaker 1: going to affect fuel economy a mission in time. Over time, 556 00:29:02,280 --> 00:29:05,080 Speaker 1: you'll start to carbon up and coke up the intake 557 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:06,760 Speaker 1: valves in the tops of the pistons, and then I'll 558 00:29:06,800 --> 00:29:10,600 Speaker 1: create another problem. So I've got to tell you first 559 00:29:10,640 --> 00:29:12,680 Speaker 1: things first, put the right thermostat back in the car 560 00:29:12,840 --> 00:29:17,000 Speaker 1: in the truck, all right, now, you know, do we 561 00:29:17,360 --> 00:29:19,080 Speaker 1: you know if we diagnose this is just a pure 562 00:29:19,120 --> 00:29:21,959 Speaker 1: cooling system problem, I don't think you have one, because 563 00:29:22,400 --> 00:29:24,200 Speaker 1: you know you're saying you went, if I heard you right, 564 00:29:24,240 --> 00:29:27,400 Speaker 1: you went without the trail around and the truck runs 565 00:29:27,480 --> 00:29:32,040 Speaker 1: normal timp right, So you know, then the next step 566 00:29:32,160 --> 00:29:34,920 Speaker 1: is what can we do to the cooling system. It 567 00:29:35,080 --> 00:29:37,720 Speaker 1: sounds like the numbers you're you're giving me that the 568 00:29:37,800 --> 00:29:41,600 Speaker 1: gross vehicle weight rating is capable, right that I hear 569 00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:43,960 Speaker 1: it correctly. The truck's rated for ten five and the 570 00:29:44,040 --> 00:29:47,080 Speaker 1: trailers tend to and a combined weight of sixteen thousand 571 00:29:47,160 --> 00:29:49,760 Speaker 1: and so on, and that's down the trailer and I 572 00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:52,760 Speaker 1: had empty tanks. I really don't think it weighed that much. 573 00:29:52,840 --> 00:29:54,760 Speaker 1: But like I said, I haven't waited to trailer, so 574 00:29:54,880 --> 00:29:57,840 Speaker 1: it sounds like you're close. So then the question becomes, 575 00:29:57,920 --> 00:30:00,480 Speaker 1: do we have a marginal radiator? You know how big 576 00:30:00,560 --> 00:30:02,840 Speaker 1: is the radiator? Do we have an optional radiator we 577 00:30:02,920 --> 00:30:05,360 Speaker 1: can put in this? You know, surely it's cheaper to 578 00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:09,200 Speaker 1: change a radiator than a vehicle, especially something of this stature. Uh. 579 00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:11,440 Speaker 1: You know it's I can tell you from experience having 580 00:30:11,520 --> 00:30:14,000 Speaker 1: just gone through this, it's about forty five dollars to 581 00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:18,680 Speaker 1: go out and replace Chevy today, So you know, it's 582 00:30:18,680 --> 00:30:20,960 Speaker 1: a fifty dollar investment by the time you're done with 583 00:30:21,080 --> 00:30:24,240 Speaker 1: running boards, stereo, and all the bells and whistles. So 584 00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:28,560 Speaker 1: you know how many miles around this truck pall about 585 00:30:28,600 --> 00:30:33,640 Speaker 1: a hundred and fifty. So you know, original radiator, original 586 00:30:33,800 --> 00:30:38,520 Speaker 1: cooling system components ever changed. I don't believe the radiator 587 00:30:38,560 --> 00:30:42,760 Speaker 1: has been changed. Um, the band clutch and uh, and 588 00:30:42,880 --> 00:30:45,720 Speaker 1: the thermostat and the water pump have been changed. I 589 00:30:45,880 --> 00:30:49,200 Speaker 1: believe it's stiator. Okay, So then the next question is 590 00:30:49,480 --> 00:30:51,840 Speaker 1: Is it a single row radiator? Is it a double 591 00:30:51,960 --> 00:30:55,600 Speaker 1: row radiator? They they used to and on certain ones 592 00:30:55,640 --> 00:30:59,480 Speaker 1: you can still get larger capacity radiators. And perhaps this 593 00:30:59,600 --> 00:31:02,440 Speaker 1: is a rad eater change. Um, you know, and maybe 594 00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:04,680 Speaker 1: it's just as simple as that. There's no I have 595 00:31:04,760 --> 00:31:07,000 Speaker 1: to ask the silly questions. There's no restrictions around the 596 00:31:07,040 --> 00:31:10,320 Speaker 1: grill area. Um, the truck was never in an accident. 597 00:31:10,400 --> 00:31:13,080 Speaker 1: It probably has all its body panels in place to 598 00:31:13,240 --> 00:31:17,239 Speaker 1: direct air across the radiator correctly and so forth. I mean, 599 00:31:17,320 --> 00:31:21,240 Speaker 1: everything looks right. I thought it used about oh nine 600 00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:24,520 Speaker 1: so seven years I didn't have it. I'm not sure right, 601 00:31:24,800 --> 00:31:27,000 Speaker 1: but yeah, it's it's everything's there. I mean, listen, a 602 00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,440 Speaker 1: four L a d S a beefy trans the four 603 00:31:29,560 --> 00:31:33,760 Speaker 1: ten rear is likely the big axle. It's I think 604 00:31:33,960 --> 00:31:36,840 Speaker 1: it's worth the gamble from my seat here that I 605 00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,200 Speaker 1: would start to look, is there a bigger radiator you 606 00:31:39,280 --> 00:31:43,120 Speaker 1: can put into this and work it from there? Um? 607 00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:46,719 Speaker 1: The other possibility is can you put an auxiliary trans 608 00:31:46,800 --> 00:31:49,040 Speaker 1: cooler on it? So that that was one of the 609 00:31:49,160 --> 00:31:52,400 Speaker 1: questions that I had. Ye, it does not have one now, right, 610 00:31:52,760 --> 00:31:53,960 Speaker 1: and if you put it, you know, or if you 611 00:31:54,080 --> 00:31:56,160 Speaker 1: take the trans cooler out of the radiator. You have 612 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:57,920 Speaker 1: to put a big enough one on raded to cool 613 00:31:58,000 --> 00:32:00,480 Speaker 1: the trans such that you know big, because what you're 614 00:32:00,520 --> 00:32:03,360 Speaker 1: doing is you're it's probably a case that the radiator 615 00:32:03,480 --> 00:32:07,000 Speaker 1: is being superheated by the trans fluid because you're toning 616 00:32:07,040 --> 00:32:10,320 Speaker 1: and you're working and harder. So maybe we add an 617 00:32:10,320 --> 00:32:12,800 Speaker 1: auxiliary trans cooler, keep the one in the radiator where 618 00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,760 Speaker 1: it is, put a new radiator in it with bigger capacity, 619 00:32:16,160 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: an auxiliary trans cooler in addition to the one in 620 00:32:18,560 --> 00:32:21,560 Speaker 1: the radiator. Toe it and see what happens. It sounds 621 00:32:21,600 --> 00:32:24,120 Speaker 1: like that's more of the issue, and it's gonna be 622 00:32:24,120 --> 00:32:26,840 Speaker 1: a cheaper experiment than trying to convince your better half 623 00:32:26,880 --> 00:32:29,880 Speaker 1: any new truck. Um, yeah, it sounds like it's worth 624 00:32:30,400 --> 00:32:33,200 Speaker 1: I wasn't surf it's worth keeping trying. But it sounds 625 00:32:33,240 --> 00:32:36,520 Speaker 1: like it's like you've been talking about the dollars. I 626 00:32:36,560 --> 00:32:39,680 Speaker 1: think it probably it's it's it's it's it's it's it's 627 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:42,560 Speaker 1: worth a thousand dollar experiment, brother, And then after that, 628 00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:44,360 Speaker 1: sell the trail around the truck and take your better 629 00:32:44,440 --> 00:32:47,120 Speaker 1: half go to the islands and um, toss a few 630 00:32:47,160 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: back and relax. And just take it easy and say, 631 00:32:49,360 --> 00:32:51,840 Speaker 1: well we tried, but by all means, go at it 632 00:32:51,920 --> 00:32:53,520 Speaker 1: that way, let us know what happens. I'm on any 633 00:32:53,520 --> 00:33:00,240 Speaker 1: of the Car Doctor. We're back right after this. Welcome 634 00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:02,479 Speaker 1: back Any of the Car Doctor. Piece of email. Rod, 635 00:33:02,520 --> 00:33:05,040 Speaker 1: a friend of mine has an day Sonata with aren't 636 00:33:05,080 --> 00:33:07,080 Speaker 1: a thousand miles on it and the transmission is starting 637 00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:09,560 Speaker 1: to slip. But would you recommend, aside from replacing the 638 00:33:09,600 --> 00:33:11,920 Speaker 1: trans fluid, change any type of editor that can be purchased. 639 00:33:11,920 --> 00:33:14,320 Speaker 1: Thanks very much of a happy holiday, Glenn. You know, Glenn, 640 00:33:14,360 --> 00:33:16,400 Speaker 1: the problem is when the when the when the trans 641 00:33:16,720 --> 00:33:19,680 Speaker 1: starts to slip. It's it's really only a few things 642 00:33:19,720 --> 00:33:21,720 Speaker 1: you can do. It's gonna be a case of and 643 00:33:22,280 --> 00:33:25,160 Speaker 1: the argument here becomes, before you change the fluid, was 644 00:33:25,240 --> 00:33:28,160 Speaker 1: the fluid ever changed and a hundred thousand miles or 645 00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:30,320 Speaker 1: you know? Or is this the case? So well, we 646 00:33:30,400 --> 00:33:32,840 Speaker 1: drove the car for it was trans fluich the last 647 00:33:32,880 --> 00:33:34,640 Speaker 1: the lifetime or the lifetime of the trans which was 648 00:33:34,680 --> 00:33:36,800 Speaker 1: on a thousand miles, and now it's time to put 649 00:33:36,800 --> 00:33:38,920 Speaker 1: a trans in the car. So you know, you can 650 00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:43,320 Speaker 1: check fluid level, you can change trans fluid if there's 651 00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:47,440 Speaker 1: a filter on this Sonata, which I don't think it's accessible. Um, 652 00:33:47,600 --> 00:33:49,680 Speaker 1: you can you know, check a filter? Is the trans 653 00:33:49,800 --> 00:33:52,960 Speaker 1: making any funny whining sounds? Is white whining sounds usually 654 00:33:52,960 --> 00:33:55,960 Speaker 1: a sign of a clogged transfilter. But short of that, 655 00:33:56,720 --> 00:33:58,680 Speaker 1: you know you can try the additive thing. There are 656 00:33:58,720 --> 00:34:02,080 Speaker 1: different additives out there. Uh, Lucas makes a trans additive 657 00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:03,800 Speaker 1: that's been known to work from time to time. But 658 00:34:03,880 --> 00:34:08,160 Speaker 1: the problem becomes your your kind of You've got mechanical issues, 659 00:34:08,440 --> 00:34:10,360 Speaker 1: all right, I'll say it like this. You've got mechanical 660 00:34:10,440 --> 00:34:13,719 Speaker 1: issues that have already happened and starting to manifest and grow. 661 00:34:13,840 --> 00:34:17,520 Speaker 1: The trans is starting to slip. So the question becomes 662 00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,120 Speaker 1: how bad do you want to band aid this trans? 663 00:34:20,480 --> 00:34:22,560 Speaker 1: And I say that in the sense of how far 664 00:34:22,680 --> 00:34:24,279 Speaker 1: from home are you with this trans? If this is 665 00:34:24,320 --> 00:34:28,120 Speaker 1: a commuter vehicle and you're traveling a hundred miles round 666 00:34:28,160 --> 00:34:30,120 Speaker 1: trip every day, you could be at the far end 667 00:34:30,160 --> 00:34:32,319 Speaker 1: of the hundred mile trip and the trans gives up 668 00:34:32,320 --> 00:34:34,160 Speaker 1: and it's a long walk home or a long toe 669 00:34:34,640 --> 00:34:36,920 Speaker 1: If it's a five mile a day car back and 670 00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:39,719 Speaker 1: forth down seven blocks and make a right you know 671 00:34:39,800 --> 00:34:42,359 Speaker 1: what an additive a fluid change nursing it along until 672 00:34:42,360 --> 00:34:44,360 Speaker 1: you can get a replacement or possibly put a trans 673 00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:48,600 Speaker 1: in it. That makes sense, so becautious. How you medicate 674 00:34:48,719 --> 00:34:50,600 Speaker 1: this one, We'll say it like that, because it is 675 00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:52,960 Speaker 1: how you and what you do, as far as just 676 00:34:53,120 --> 00:34:56,240 Speaker 1: replacing fluid and additives and so on and so forth, because, 677 00:34:56,800 --> 00:34:58,880 Speaker 1: as the Car Doctor always says, the road is a 678 00:34:59,000 --> 00:35:01,440 Speaker 1: very unforgiving p is, so you don't want to get 679 00:35:01,440 --> 00:35:03,440 Speaker 1: stuck out there. Hey, that wraps up this hour of 680 00:35:03,480 --> 00:35:05,239 Speaker 1: the Car Doctor. I want to thank you for stopping by. 681 00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:07,480 Speaker 1: I'm running any of the Car Doctor till the next time, 682 00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:11,160 Speaker 1: reminding you good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless.
