1
00:00:02,640 --> 00:00:07,120
Speaker 1: Ron Andanian does Google fixed cars? I wonder Google doesn't

2
00:00:07,120 --> 00:00:09,959
Speaker 1: fix cars. Google is taking it's looking at relation. It's

3
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:12,680
Speaker 1: a relational database. It's looking at, you know, common failures

4
00:00:12,680 --> 00:00:14,760
Speaker 1: and occurrences and trying to lump them all into that

5
00:00:15,680 --> 00:00:17,840
Speaker 1: nex ness exodus of you know, this is how we

6
00:00:17,920 --> 00:00:28,360
Speaker 1: do to fix cars, the car Doctor. This part does

7
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:31,520
Speaker 1: not exist. And it's a shame because it's a nice

8
00:00:31,600 --> 00:00:35,120
Speaker 1: forty mile example of a ninety eight older Rado. Welcome

9
00:00:35,200 --> 00:00:38,240
Speaker 1: to the radio home of Ron Andanian, the Car Doctor,

10
00:00:38,560 --> 00:00:42,640
Speaker 1: since this is where car owners the world will return

11
00:00:42,760 --> 00:00:46,839
Speaker 1: to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair. If your

12
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:49,760
Speaker 1: mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up the phone

13
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:53,080
Speaker 1: and call in the garage to orders are open. But

14
00:00:53,159 --> 00:00:55,240
Speaker 1: I am here to take your calls at eight five

15
00:00:55,320 --> 00:01:02,880
Speaker 1: five five, and now he's running. I wonder what it

16
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:08,240
Speaker 1: means that expression about you know, it's not worth fixing anymore?

17
00:01:08,360 --> 00:01:12,400
Speaker 1: Where's where's the worth? Where? Where's that number of worth

18
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:15,880
Speaker 1: set anymore? And I asked this question for a good reason.

19
00:01:15,920 --> 00:01:18,600
Speaker 1: We had a we had a GMC Hello and welcome.

20
00:01:18,640 --> 00:01:22,320
Speaker 1: By the way, we had a GMC canyon in the shop.

21
00:01:22,560 --> 00:01:24,360
Speaker 1: The last oh I don't know week and a half.

22
00:01:24,400 --> 00:01:25,880
Speaker 1: It took me a little while to get the parts

23
00:01:25,880 --> 00:01:29,039
Speaker 1: together for it and you know, get it solved. And

24
00:01:29,160 --> 00:01:32,880
Speaker 1: it first time in um eighty five thousand mile vehicle

25
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:35,720
Speaker 1: for going on five years old, and it needed four

26
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:38,479
Speaker 1: thousand dollars worth of work. And up to this point

27
00:01:38,520 --> 00:01:41,080
Speaker 1: that it had gotten oil changes and you know, tires,

28
00:01:41,800 --> 00:01:44,680
Speaker 1: um cheap tires. That's a that's a story unto itself

29
00:01:45,400 --> 00:01:48,600
Speaker 1: and not a whole lot of maintenance. And you know,

30
00:01:48,960 --> 00:01:51,480
Speaker 1: nice enough owner, you know, he got it. He he

31
00:01:51,560 --> 00:01:54,800
Speaker 1: understood what he was gonna spend and um, you know,

32
00:01:54,800 --> 00:01:57,960
Speaker 1: he's very patient and we appreciated that. And you know,

33
00:01:58,040 --> 00:02:00,520
Speaker 1: but it just needed a lot of work and I

34
00:02:00,640 --> 00:02:03,720
Speaker 1: noticed it. And it's I guess what kind of got

35
00:02:03,720 --> 00:02:05,560
Speaker 1: my years was he says it's worth fixing now. It

36
00:02:05,640 --> 00:02:08,040
Speaker 1: used to be it's not worth fixing. Now it's worth fixing.

37
00:02:09,040 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 1: And more and more people are saying that it's worth fixing.

38
00:02:11,280 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: And I started looking at why, and then this article

39
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:18,000
Speaker 1: came out Gelopnick Gelopnick dot com. I think is the

40
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:20,560
Speaker 1: website Over half a million Americans are sixty days later

41
00:02:20,560 --> 00:02:23,320
Speaker 1: on their car payments. And this isn't a financial show,

42
00:02:23,320 --> 00:02:25,240
Speaker 1: and I'm not saying it is, and it's it's not that,

43
00:02:25,520 --> 00:02:29,320
Speaker 1: but the numbers. The story starts at expensive new car

44
00:02:29,400 --> 00:02:31,640
Speaker 1: prices are tough enough to swallow, but the price of

45
00:02:31,720 --> 00:02:34,360
Speaker 1: vehicles in general have been relatively high, with the average

46
00:02:34,400 --> 00:02:37,000
Speaker 1: price of a new car hitting over. Tom, you want

47
00:02:37,040 --> 00:02:38,240
Speaker 1: to take a guess at this how much you think

48
00:02:38,240 --> 00:02:44,079
Speaker 1: a new car is on average today? Your close forty

49
00:02:44,160 --> 00:02:47,960
Speaker 1: eight thousand dollars. And continuing, however, their used car prices

50
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:49,840
Speaker 1: are averaging almost you want to guess what a used

51
00:02:49,840 --> 00:02:59,560
Speaker 1: car average used car prices, Tom, m hmmars car. It

52
00:02:59,600 --> 00:03:01,640
Speaker 1: hasn't heard people from buying them. The article goes on,

53
00:03:01,680 --> 00:03:03,200
Speaker 1: but it turns out many owners may be in over

54
00:03:03,200 --> 00:03:05,440
Speaker 1: their heads. Here's the interesting part. The number of the

55
00:03:05,480 --> 00:03:08,680
Speaker 1: linquent auto loans has increased substantially at one point six percent,

56
00:03:08,800 --> 00:03:11,880
Speaker 1: as pandemic forgiveness programs have come to an end. This

57
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:13,799
Speaker 1: is off of CNBC. And while that doesn't sound like

58
00:03:13,840 --> 00:03:15,840
Speaker 1: a big number to worry about, it's the highest percentage

59
00:03:15,840 --> 00:03:19,680
Speaker 1: of delinquencies and over a decade. And I started looking

60
00:03:19,720 --> 00:03:22,840
Speaker 1: at that, and I started, you know, thinking to myself, Okay,

61
00:03:22,880 --> 00:03:26,080
Speaker 1: so maybe it's not worth it has changed right data

62
00:03:26,120 --> 00:03:28,560
Speaker 1: from TransUnion. The article goes on to say shows that

63
00:03:28,560 --> 00:03:31,239
Speaker 1: about two hundred thousand people took advantage of pandemic go

64
00:03:31,360 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 1: to loan accommodations during the early days. These programs are

65
00:03:34,160 --> 00:03:36,160
Speaker 1: put in place to protect people whos income have been affected.

66
00:03:36,160 --> 00:03:38,400
Speaker 1: If you're losing their jobs because of the pandemic, those

67
00:03:38,400 --> 00:03:40,760
Speaker 1: programs have ended, bringing the owners to a harsh reality.

68
00:03:40,800 --> 00:03:43,200
Speaker 1: Those same two d people took advantage of the program

69
00:03:43,440 --> 00:03:46,320
Speaker 1: are now sixty days delinquent on their loans, according to TransUnion,

70
00:03:46,320 --> 00:03:49,520
Speaker 1: and another hundred thousand loans are also sixty days delinquent,

71
00:03:49,600 --> 00:03:53,000
Speaker 1: but are in similarly designed accommodation program to continue to

72
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,000
Speaker 1: keep the cars from being repossessed. And it goes on

73
00:03:56,000 --> 00:03:57,320
Speaker 1: and on and on, and it talks about it, and

74
00:03:57,320 --> 00:04:00,760
Speaker 1: then it said it started talking about that the automakers

75
00:04:00,760 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: seem to be encouraging it, and you know, I never

76
00:04:03,760 --> 00:04:05,800
Speaker 1: thought of doing this. Go to any website for any

77
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:09,920
Speaker 1: manufacturer and use their price and build tool. So it

78
00:04:09,960 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: says builds spilled a four F one fifth ye or

79
00:04:12,040 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: a Chevy Tahoe and payment terms for financing will default

80
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:20,360
Speaker 1: from seventy two to eighty four months. Tom you're ready

81
00:04:20,360 --> 00:04:24,240
Speaker 1: to make car payments for the next seven years. No,

82
00:04:24,960 --> 00:04:29,440
Speaker 1: that's can you imagine seven years, seven years of car payments?

83
00:04:29,800 --> 00:04:34,200
Speaker 1: Well the car last that long? Well probably not. And

84
00:04:34,240 --> 00:04:36,159
Speaker 1: then the car, you know. And now I understand why

85
00:04:36,200 --> 00:04:38,520
Speaker 1: this guy wanted to put why this customer wanted to

86
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:42,119
Speaker 1: put four grand into an eighteen GMC, because you start

87
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:45,760
Speaker 1: doing the math on those seven years or whatever of

88
00:04:45,800 --> 00:04:48,479
Speaker 1: car payments, and all of a sudden, a car payment

89
00:04:48,760 --> 00:04:54,200
Speaker 1: is six seven a month for seven years, you know.

90
00:04:54,279 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 1: And I'm gonna show you how old I am. I

91
00:04:55,760 --> 00:04:59,479
Speaker 1: remember my first house was half that my mortgage, you know,

92
00:04:59,480 --> 00:05:03,800
Speaker 1: where we go own here um and this canyon. It

93
00:05:03,880 --> 00:05:07,159
Speaker 1: was reasonable, it responded well, you know, and I think

94
00:05:07,200 --> 00:05:09,880
Speaker 1: part of the lesson that everybody has to understand is that,

95
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:12,960
Speaker 1: you know, he came in and it started like it

96
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:15,640
Speaker 1: needed tires. Is where this went. And this is the

97
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:17,840
Speaker 1: tire side of the story. So the front tires were

98
00:05:17,839 --> 00:05:20,520
Speaker 1: boiled on the inside edges. And I said, sure, I said, Chase,

99
00:05:20,600 --> 00:05:22,839
Speaker 1: it's it's it's something's worn. I've got to I've got

100
00:05:22,839 --> 00:05:25,880
Speaker 1: to go look at that. And the left inner tirod,

101
00:05:26,360 --> 00:05:28,680
Speaker 1: the inner tirod was so bad, it was, you know,

102
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:30,640
Speaker 1: like your arm and shoulder socket. It was ready to

103
00:05:30,640 --> 00:05:33,159
Speaker 1: pull out of the socket and I said, it needs

104
00:05:33,200 --> 00:05:35,400
Speaker 1: some front end work and it you know, it needed

105
00:05:35,400 --> 00:05:37,479
Speaker 1: a few other things. It needed a battery. The battery

106
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:39,600
Speaker 1: was on its last legs. It had failed it's low

107
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:41,880
Speaker 1: test and it had a check engine light on. It

108
00:05:41,920 --> 00:05:44,920
Speaker 1: had a variable valve timing fault, and it needed a thermostat.

109
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 1: The had a fault code for low engine temperature. But

110
00:05:48,760 --> 00:05:50,359
Speaker 1: the kicker, the one that got me, the one that

111
00:05:50,440 --> 00:05:52,720
Speaker 1: kind of showed and I'm starting to see more and

112
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:55,320
Speaker 1: more of this is and I think this is the

113
00:05:55,320 --> 00:05:57,400
Speaker 1: second or third time I'm mentioning it this month here

114
00:05:57,440 --> 00:05:59,080
Speaker 1: on the show, and because I've seen a lot more

115
00:05:59,120 --> 00:06:02,240
Speaker 1: at the shop is these offshore tires. I don't mean

116
00:06:02,279 --> 00:06:05,200
Speaker 1: offshore made in China. China to me is an extension

117
00:06:05,200 --> 00:06:06,800
Speaker 1: of the U S rubber market because a lot of

118
00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:09,440
Speaker 1: our tires are made in China. I'm talking about made

119
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:13,320
Speaker 1: in Thailand, made in Vietnam, made in Cambodia, with brand

120
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,640
Speaker 1: names that I can't match to anything. And the issue

121
00:06:16,680 --> 00:06:19,680
Speaker 1: there becomes that if you buy a tire that is

122
00:06:19,880 --> 00:06:25,400
Speaker 1: an unknown brand or an unknown quantity or um not quantity,

123
00:06:25,480 --> 00:06:29,360
Speaker 1: but an unknown and unknown source like that, Now you've

124
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:32,280
Speaker 1: got an all wheel drive vehicle. This GMC Canyon was

125
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:34,360
Speaker 1: a four wheel drive vehicle. If you've got a four

126
00:06:34,360 --> 00:06:38,080
Speaker 1: wheel driver and all wheel drive vehicle. The argument has

127
00:06:38,120 --> 00:06:40,920
Speaker 1: been made multiple times by the industry and by common

128
00:06:40,960 --> 00:06:43,000
Speaker 1: sense and the laws of physics that you want to

129
00:06:43,000 --> 00:06:46,279
Speaker 1: put a tire on there whose diameter is equal on

130
00:06:46,360 --> 00:06:50,040
Speaker 1: all four wheels. So if you're going to change too,

131
00:06:50,920 --> 00:06:54,320
Speaker 1: you've got to get two of brand X or brand Y.

132
00:06:54,720 --> 00:06:56,840
Speaker 1: And in this case, it kind of didn't matter because

133
00:06:56,880 --> 00:06:58,480
Speaker 1: after I looked at the back tires, even though they

134
00:06:58,480 --> 00:07:01,200
Speaker 1: weren't bald on the inside edges they had they were

135
00:07:01,240 --> 00:07:04,080
Speaker 1: at four thirty seconds. They could have squeaked out a

136
00:07:04,120 --> 00:07:05,839
Speaker 1: little bit longer, but not if I was changing the

137
00:07:05,839 --> 00:07:07,359
Speaker 1: front and I had to put four tires on it

138
00:07:07,400 --> 00:07:09,320
Speaker 1: at that point. But it set yourself up for that

139
00:07:09,560 --> 00:07:13,400
Speaker 1: moment of you know, what do you do? You know

140
00:07:13,520 --> 00:07:16,080
Speaker 1: is the moment of failure because you I gotta say

141
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,120
Speaker 1: it like, this is the moment of failure because you

142
00:07:18,120 --> 00:07:20,000
Speaker 1: were attempted by the dark side and you put cheap

143
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:23,320
Speaker 1: tires on the car, and you know, now it's gonna

144
00:07:23,320 --> 00:07:25,720
Speaker 1: come back and and and hurt you you know, one

145
00:07:25,760 --> 00:07:27,760
Speaker 1: of the things I don't like about cheap tires is

146
00:07:27,800 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 1: I like to think of them, is the fact that

147
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:33,880
Speaker 1: you can drive that vehicle for a year with those

148
00:07:34,320 --> 00:07:37,360
Speaker 1: cockamami tires on it, as my father would say, my

149
00:07:37,480 --> 00:07:41,560
Speaker 1: late father, and you may find that you get a nail,

150
00:07:41,600 --> 00:07:43,280
Speaker 1: you get an unreparable flat and now you've got to

151
00:07:43,360 --> 00:07:45,840
Speaker 1: change that one tire. Where are you going to get

152
00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:49,800
Speaker 1: that one off brand cacamami tire from? And you know,

153
00:07:49,960 --> 00:07:52,320
Speaker 1: that's an issue, and that's something you've got to be

154
00:07:52,360 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: aware of. Uh. You know, it's important when you buy tires.

155
00:07:56,440 --> 00:07:58,360
Speaker 1: You know, you're you're down at Bob's garage and you're

156
00:07:58,400 --> 00:08:00,800
Speaker 1: you're buying tires from your local guy, and you're in

157
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,440
Speaker 1: Virginia or Iowa or Florida, or you know, someplace in

158
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:08,400
Speaker 1: your neck of the woods. And you know, six months later,

159
00:08:08,440 --> 00:08:10,560
Speaker 1: you're taking a road trip to New Jersey, you're taking

160
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:13,000
Speaker 1: a road trip to California, or you're out in the

161
00:08:13,040 --> 00:08:16,600
Speaker 1: middle of Arizona somewhere. Can you get that tire there?

162
00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:20,320
Speaker 1: Do they have those tires there? Do they have a

163
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:23,080
Speaker 1: national presence? And that's a question you've got to ask

164
00:08:23,120 --> 00:08:26,440
Speaker 1: your tire supplier. Hey, are these tires I'm buying? Do

165
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:30,160
Speaker 1: these are these nationally districted, distributed or is this something

166
00:08:30,160 --> 00:08:32,160
Speaker 1: you're buying locally, Because a lot of times the tire

167
00:08:32,200 --> 00:08:36,000
Speaker 1: warehouses are buying things at their local level from a

168
00:08:36,000 --> 00:08:39,480
Speaker 1: deal that they got, and they're not representing that. I

169
00:08:39,520 --> 00:08:41,800
Speaker 1: want to tire. I want a General, I want a Cooper,

170
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:44,160
Speaker 1: I want a Michelin, I want a Firestone. I want

171
00:08:44,240 --> 00:08:46,920
Speaker 1: something that I can buy anywhere in the United States

172
00:08:46,960 --> 00:08:51,640
Speaker 1: without a problem of distribution. All right, because when I

173
00:08:51,720 --> 00:08:54,600
Speaker 1: buy brand X y Z that's only available on the

174
00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:57,040
Speaker 1: East coast because they haven't grown enough to have West

175
00:08:57,040 --> 00:08:59,559
Speaker 1: coast distribution. And I take a trip to the Midwest

176
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:02,880
Speaker 1: and I get a flat. Now what do I do

177
00:09:02,960 --> 00:09:06,960
Speaker 1: with my my twenty nineteen all wheel drive Toyota see

178
00:09:06,960 --> 00:09:09,800
Speaker 1: in a minivan or my Honda Odyssey or whatever it

179
00:09:09,840 --> 00:09:12,120
Speaker 1: is I'm driving? And you know, how do I get

180
00:09:12,120 --> 00:09:15,200
Speaker 1: a tire for that? I gotta buy four? And you

181
00:09:15,240 --> 00:09:18,760
Speaker 1: know what's the point? Auto repair is going to be expensive.

182
00:09:19,080 --> 00:09:21,920
Speaker 1: I can tell you how to avoid it. Take the bus,

183
00:09:22,640 --> 00:09:26,080
Speaker 1: all right, to start walking. So you know you've got

184
00:09:26,080 --> 00:09:28,840
Speaker 1: a plan for the future. You've got a plan for

185
00:09:29,080 --> 00:09:31,160
Speaker 1: taking care of the car. You've got to have some

186
00:09:31,240 --> 00:09:33,640
Speaker 1: kind of a budget or you're just gonna get slapped

187
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:35,680
Speaker 1: in the face when these things creep up on you

188
00:09:35,720 --> 00:09:37,280
Speaker 1: and you're stuck on the side of the road. You've

189
00:09:37,280 --> 00:09:40,640
Speaker 1: got to be prepared. So just just some food for thought.

190
00:09:40,640 --> 00:09:43,280
Speaker 1: You don't want to uh, you know it's worth fixing.

191
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,520
Speaker 1: It's not worth fixing. It's worth fixing, trust me. Seventies

192
00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,880
Speaker 1: seven years of car payments at seven a month. Do

193
00:09:51,960 --> 00:09:56,439
Speaker 1: the math. Zero The car Doctors coming back to open

194

199
00:10:18,400 --> 00:10:21,000
Speaker 1: Grey is, Hey, let's go to Wisconsin and talk to

200
00:10:21,000 --> 00:10:23,000
Speaker 1: Sandy and see what's going on here. Sandy, welcome to

201
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,520
Speaker 1: the car Doctor. How can I help? Oh? Thank you

202
00:10:25,600 --> 00:10:29,480
Speaker 1: for taking my call. After I had bought guests, um,

203
00:10:29,520 --> 00:10:31,240
Speaker 1: and I don't think it's from the guests. It might

204
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,880
Speaker 1: be just a coincidence. I thought it was strange, but

205
00:10:33,960 --> 00:10:35,600
Speaker 1: I didn't know if I should have it checked out.

206
00:10:36,040 --> 00:10:38,960
Speaker 1: It started making kind of a flap tap tap tapping

207
00:10:39,000 --> 00:10:43,120
Speaker 1: noise or something sounded almost like a radio antenna flapping

208
00:10:43,160 --> 00:10:46,040
Speaker 1: against the top of the ceiling of the car as

209
00:10:46,080 --> 00:10:49,079
Speaker 1: I was driving. But I don't it's not that because

210
00:10:49,120 --> 00:10:53,240
Speaker 1: I checked everything around there and nothing was loose, and

211
00:10:53,400 --> 00:10:56,400
Speaker 1: I drove it to Clayson and then you don't know

212
00:10:56,440 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 1: if you know what Clayson isn't. But anyway, I thought

213
00:10:59,040 --> 00:11:01,280
Speaker 1: I should call myself and see if it needed to

214
00:11:01,320 --> 00:11:03,040
Speaker 1: be checked out, and he said he checked it out,

215
00:11:03,080 --> 00:11:05,000
Speaker 1: and then when I drove back home, it didn't make

216
00:11:05,040 --> 00:11:07,600
Speaker 1: the noise at all. Then it made the noise the

217
00:11:07,640 --> 00:11:10,200
Speaker 1: next day when I was going a little faster, and

218
00:11:10,240 --> 00:11:12,320
Speaker 1: he tried it out a couple of nights, a few

219
00:11:12,400 --> 00:11:15,480
Speaker 1: nights ago, and it didn't make the noise. And I

220
00:11:15,480 --> 00:11:17,880
Speaker 1: don't know it has any what it would do. It's

221
00:11:17,920 --> 00:11:20,600
Speaker 1: a tap tap tap tap really fast and the faster

222
00:11:20,760 --> 00:11:23,839
Speaker 1: I go, the faster the tapping noise. But it's very

223
00:11:23,960 --> 00:11:26,880
Speaker 1: very soft. It's hard to hear, is it is? It is?

224
00:11:26,960 --> 00:11:32,959
Speaker 1: What kind of cars? This? Sandy? It's okay? And does

225
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:35,720
Speaker 1: it make the noise while you're sitting still or you

226
00:11:35,760 --> 00:11:37,520
Speaker 1: have to be involving so you have to be moving,

227
00:11:38,880 --> 00:11:42,839
Speaker 1: So it's it's it's rotational, all right. It's if you're saying,

228
00:11:43,000 --> 00:11:44,640
Speaker 1: if you're sitting at a traffic light, you don't hear

229
00:11:44,640 --> 00:11:49,000
Speaker 1: any noise, all right, So I don't believe it's in

230
00:11:49,040 --> 00:11:52,240
Speaker 1: the engine. It sounds like it could be something as

231
00:11:52,280 --> 00:11:54,920
Speaker 1: simple as a stick stuck up inside of a brake

232
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:58,640
Speaker 1: rotor rubbing against And sometimes it's there and sometimes it's not.

233
00:11:59,160 --> 00:12:01,680
Speaker 1: We recently he had a vehicle that had a rock

234
00:12:01,760 --> 00:12:05,400
Speaker 1: on the inside of the brake rotor that under certain

235
00:12:05,440 --> 00:12:08,199
Speaker 1: speeds and certain loads, it would bounce around on You

236
00:12:08,200 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: would hear tik tik ti ti ti ti ti ti

237
00:12:10,000 --> 00:12:12,600
Speaker 1: tik tik tick, and we get louder and then eventually

238
00:12:12,679 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 1: go away. And then some days the noise wasn't there.

239
00:12:16,640 --> 00:12:19,240
Speaker 1: So I would tell you that you should get it

240
00:12:19,280 --> 00:12:20,880
Speaker 1: into your mechanic and get it up in the air

241
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,520
Speaker 1: and let him do an inspection of the suspension and

242
00:12:24,120 --> 00:12:26,079
Speaker 1: make sure that there's you know, can you duplicate it

243
00:12:26,160 --> 00:12:28,400
Speaker 1: up in the air, you know? Could it be Could

244
00:12:28,400 --> 00:12:31,200
Speaker 1: it be something stuck in a tire? All right? Could

245
00:12:31,240 --> 00:12:33,719
Speaker 1: it be you know, a bolt or something or a

246
00:12:33,760 --> 00:12:36,000
Speaker 1: piece of steel that's in a piece of the tire

247
00:12:36,080 --> 00:12:38,719
Speaker 1: that might be working its way down to penetrate the

248
00:12:38,760 --> 00:12:41,640
Speaker 1: tire if it hasn't already and create an issue. That way,

249
00:12:41,760 --> 00:12:44,880
Speaker 1: I would look for what's good. Let's eliminate tires. The

250
00:12:44,960 --> 00:12:48,160
Speaker 1: tires look good, to the break to the break, and

251
00:12:48,240 --> 00:12:51,280
Speaker 1: the suspension components look good. They have no fem material,

252
00:12:51,400 --> 00:12:54,960
Speaker 1: no sticks, no twigs, no branches, no road debris attached

253
00:12:55,000 --> 00:12:56,760
Speaker 1: to it. Because you know, there's a lot of stuff

254
00:12:56,800 --> 00:12:59,520
Speaker 1: on the roads. And I'm not gonna ask you, Hey, Sandy,

255
00:12:59,559 --> 00:13:00,920
Speaker 1: did you run anything over? I don't know if you

256
00:13:00,960 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: would remember, But let's let's go looking. All right, Let's

257
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:06,000
Speaker 1: go and make sure you're safe, because we don't want

258
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:07,640
Speaker 1: you to have an accident as a result of something

259
00:13:07,720 --> 00:13:12,199
Speaker 1: sticking in the wrong place. Creating a problem makes sense, Yes,

260
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:15,520
Speaker 1: you know, Um, let's let's do that. Let me ask

261
00:13:15,559 --> 00:13:19,160
Speaker 1: you a question, Sandy, can ask you a question? Yes, Um,

262
00:13:19,480 --> 00:13:23,880
Speaker 1: do you think you'd ever buy an electric vehicle? Well? Um,

263
00:13:24,760 --> 00:13:27,520
Speaker 1: first of all, I'm retired and I don't think that

264
00:13:27,600 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 1: I'm going to be able to I mean, I know

265
00:13:29,160 --> 00:13:31,920
Speaker 1: I can't afford to buy one. Or what would you say?

266
00:13:32,320 --> 00:13:36,400
Speaker 1: What do you think is the average price of an

267
00:13:36,480 --> 00:13:39,280
Speaker 1: electric vehicle? Well? I think they're telling me now you know,

268
00:13:39,400 --> 00:13:42,000
Speaker 1: you can get into a Tesla Model three for about

269
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:45,959
Speaker 1: thirty five maybe forty grand. But they're also telling me

270
00:13:46,120 --> 00:13:48,839
Speaker 1: that if you want, you know, creature comforts, if you

271
00:13:48,880 --> 00:13:50,960
Speaker 1: want to be comfortable, if you want the better seats,

272
00:13:51,000 --> 00:13:53,680
Speaker 1: if you want you know, the better tires and suspension,

273
00:13:53,720 --> 00:13:56,199
Speaker 1: and you want the interior to be something you know,

274
00:13:56,400 --> 00:13:58,920
Speaker 1: more than sitting in a cardboard box. As somebody said

275
00:13:58,960 --> 00:14:01,200
Speaker 1: to me that went and brought Ala, you're gonna spend

276
00:14:01,280 --> 00:14:04,959
Speaker 1: upwards of sixty So somewhere between forty and sixty is

277
00:14:05,000 --> 00:14:08,719
Speaker 1: that in your budget? No? Actually, I was listening to

278
00:14:08,800 --> 00:14:10,719
Speaker 1: when you were saying that the average cost of a

279
00:14:10,760 --> 00:14:15,400
Speaker 1: new car today is forty five thousands. There's no way

280
00:14:15,559 --> 00:14:18,839
Speaker 1: that I don't have a job right now. That's what

281
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:21,040
Speaker 1: I'm worried about. I wouldn't be able to come up

282
00:14:21,080 --> 00:14:23,040
Speaker 1: with some money. Right. Let me ask you, So, let

283
00:14:23,080 --> 00:14:25,400
Speaker 1: me ask you the second question. So let's say you

284
00:14:25,480 --> 00:14:28,520
Speaker 1: did have an electric vehicle, all right, and you had

285
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 1: and you had to stop and get it recharged at

286
00:14:30,760 --> 00:14:35,760
Speaker 1: a at a charging station you're obviously away, okay. Would

287
00:14:35,800 --> 00:14:38,720
Speaker 1: would you feel comfortable sitting there for forty minutes waiting

288
00:14:38,760 --> 00:14:43,600
Speaker 1: to get it recharged? Right right, doesn't seem like the

289
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,080
Speaker 1: evs are gonna work in that perspective. You've got to

290
00:14:46,080 --> 00:14:48,440
Speaker 1: get the charging times. Now. I'm just curious. I'm just

291
00:14:48,600 --> 00:14:51,200
Speaker 1: wondering if most people would have that kind of time

292
00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 1: when they're trying to hurry up to get to their destinations. Right. So, well,

293
00:14:55,640 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 1: and how about this, how about a woman traveling alone? You, Sandy?

294
00:14:58,600 --> 00:14:59,880
Speaker 1: I mean, I don't know, if you're out of living

295
00:14:59,920 --> 00:15:01,480
Speaker 1: a clock at night, but you pull into a gas

296
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,160
Speaker 1: station ten ten thirty at night, it's five minutes and

297
00:15:04,200 --> 00:15:06,720
Speaker 1: you're out the door, right, But if you're sitting there,

298
00:15:06,840 --> 00:15:09,720
Speaker 1: if you're sitting there in an e V and you're

299
00:15:09,760 --> 00:15:13,600
Speaker 1: waiting forty minutes to charge, what if? What if you're

300
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:18,880
Speaker 1: the only person there building? I mean, do they usually

301
00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:22,240
Speaker 1: have these stations at a building so that you can

302
00:15:22,320 --> 00:15:24,920
Speaker 1: go in like a convenience start while you're waiting. I

303
00:15:24,960 --> 00:15:27,320
Speaker 1: don't know. They haven't built any yet. Nobody's telling us that,

304
00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,600
Speaker 1: But it's an interesting That's what I thought. If you

305
00:15:29,680 --> 00:15:31,720
Speaker 1: have a place to go into, you feel safe. Yes,

306
00:15:31,840 --> 00:15:34,880
Speaker 1: I am a night but I usually go in. I

307
00:15:34,960 --> 00:15:38,080
Speaker 1: always go in to pay for my gas. Right, No,

308
00:15:38,400 --> 00:15:41,720
Speaker 1: I would not feel comfortable doing this someplace where there's

309
00:15:41,880 --> 00:15:44,960
Speaker 1: no building and no people around. I'm gonna get in trouble.

310
00:15:44,960 --> 00:15:46,760
Speaker 1: I'm starting to think out loud, this is this is

311
00:15:46,800 --> 00:15:50,360
Speaker 1: how problems happen. So but Sandy, I'm just calling him,

312
00:15:50,400 --> 00:15:52,080
Speaker 1: like I see him. Get that checked out though, Get

313
00:15:52,120 --> 00:15:54,360
Speaker 1: that into your mechanic. Let them look, you know, tell them,

314
00:15:54,360 --> 00:15:56,520
Speaker 1: you know, could you have possibly run something over? You

315
00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:58,800
Speaker 1: remember when you saw kids, You remember as a kid

316
00:15:58,840 --> 00:16:00,800
Speaker 1: you put a baseball card in a bicycle spoke that

317
00:16:00,920 --> 00:16:03,680
Speaker 1: kind of a flapping, knocking, tapping noise, and you know,

318
00:16:03,800 --> 00:16:06,240
Speaker 1: maybe maybe that's what's going on here. Something's in the

319
00:16:06,320 --> 00:16:08,680
Speaker 1: wrong spot and it's just you know where it's like

320
00:16:08,760 --> 00:16:11,040
Speaker 1: that that that stick against the pike at fence kind

321
00:16:11,080 --> 00:16:13,720
Speaker 1: of a situation that something is just you know, knocking away,

322
00:16:13,800 --> 00:16:15,720
Speaker 1: tapping away, and let's let's find out what it is

323
00:16:15,760 --> 00:16:19,040
Speaker 1: before it hurts something on a permanent basis. All right, Well,

324
00:16:19,120 --> 00:16:21,640
Speaker 1: thank you very much for the adnight. You're very welcome, Sandy.

325
00:16:21,680 --> 00:16:23,520
Speaker 1: Thanks for chatting with me. I appreciate your time. You

326
00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,880
Speaker 1: have a great rest of the day. Thank you. You

327
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:28,400
Speaker 1: have a good day to you know. Now, now, isn't

328
00:16:28,480 --> 00:16:33,600
Speaker 1: that that's the reality? Right? I mean, that's that's what

329
00:16:33,680 --> 00:16:35,360
Speaker 1: we're kind of up against. You know. I was, and

330
00:16:35,440 --> 00:16:37,560
Speaker 1: what made me think of it was I was reading

331
00:16:37,560 --> 00:16:41,240
Speaker 1: an article that talked about in early Consumers report that

332
00:16:41,360 --> 00:16:45,160
Speaker 1: said over eight I'm sorry, eight thousand adults UM those

333
00:16:45,240 --> 00:16:47,880
Speaker 1: indicated charging considerations would hold them back from purchasing a

334
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:51,400
Speaker 1: Navy Women were twice as lengthy as men, citing concerns

335
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:53,680
Speaker 1: about safety when I charged it a public charging station.

336
00:16:54,360 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 1: And it makes you think, right, it's you know, women.

337
00:16:58,160 --> 00:17:01,040
Speaker 1: I think women have it tougher all in that sense.

338
00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:02,760
Speaker 1: They've got to go into a gas station, they've got

339
00:17:02,840 --> 00:17:04,960
Speaker 1: to go into an electric charging station, and there's a

340
00:17:05,040 --> 00:17:08,159
Speaker 1: safety concern there, all right. I mean, listen, guys are

341
00:17:08,160 --> 00:17:10,480
Speaker 1: at risk too, But I think, you know, we we

342
00:17:10,640 --> 00:17:12,720
Speaker 1: worry about our women, or we should we're supposed to,

343
00:17:13,400 --> 00:17:16,200
Speaker 1: and uh, you know, it's it's a safety it's a

344
00:17:16,240 --> 00:17:18,240
Speaker 1: safety issue. It's a major concern for women. In this

345
00:17:18,359 --> 00:17:21,440
Speaker 1: article talks all about it. The author, Jasmine Porters, says

346
00:17:21,480 --> 00:17:25,320
Speaker 1: she regularly travel regularly travels around there Mustang Maki, but

347
00:17:26,000 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: where she does UM, a lot of the women she

348
00:17:28,320 --> 00:17:31,320
Speaker 1: interviewed for the story just don't feel safe available on

349
00:17:31,359 --> 00:17:33,920
Speaker 1: their commute. So just just something to be aware of.

350
00:17:34,080 --> 00:17:36,200
Speaker 1: Let's uh, let's get it together, guys. We've got to

351
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:38,480
Speaker 1: make it. We've got to make EVS work for everybody.

352
00:17:38,520 --> 00:17:40,440
Speaker 1: And I don't know that we're I don't know that

353
00:17:40,520 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 1: we're working towards that. And you know, I see Sam

354
00:17:43,240 --> 00:17:45,320
Speaker 1: from arizonas on. We're gonna hold Sam and when we

355
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:48,160
Speaker 1: pull off for the pause, because uh, we'll come back

Speaker 1: for having me on recently the ninety four Chevy pick up.

360
00:17:57,040 --> 00:17:59,240
Speaker 1: The brakes were locked on. The problem was I had

361
00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,000
Speaker 1: the space savers spares on just as I'm working on

362
00:18:02,080 --> 00:18:04,200
Speaker 1: the truck and they were hitting the calibers. I remember that, Bill,

363
00:18:04,640 --> 00:18:06,240
Speaker 1: you missed that part. You didn't tell me that part

364
00:18:06,280 --> 00:18:08,280
Speaker 1: of the story. He says, this is a case of

365
00:18:08,320 --> 00:18:10,640
Speaker 1: the shade too mechanic making a rookie mistake. Now, Bill,

366
00:18:10,680 --> 00:18:12,600
Speaker 1: it was no rookie mistake. You learned from it, and

367

Speaker 1: is like my second or third less saber call this weekend. Sam.

380
00:19:07,840 --> 00:19:09,520
Speaker 1: It's how many of these cars can be left or

381
00:19:09,560 --> 00:19:14,399
Speaker 1: twenty years old. It's so funny. So they made a

382
00:19:14,480 --> 00:19:16,119
Speaker 1: lot of these things, They really did. I remember when

383
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,600
Speaker 1: my gut everybody had one of these. So, um, how

384
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,399
Speaker 1: can I help you today? Brother? Yeah, it's a D

385
00:19:21,560 --> 00:19:24,280
Speaker 1: engine and I'm kind of frustrated. About three or three

386
00:19:24,280 --> 00:19:27,600
Speaker 1: and a years ago, I replaced the lower intake gaskets

387
00:19:28,280 --> 00:19:33,919
Speaker 1: and went with an updated a T P intake uh

388
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:42,960
Speaker 1: plentum that had a I guess still sleeping h re re.

389
00:19:43,920 --> 00:19:47,840
Speaker 1: What's that name I'm taking of reinforced e g R

390
00:19:47,960 --> 00:19:53,399
Speaker 1: port So Anyway, about three or four weeks ago, I

391
00:19:53,480 --> 00:19:56,320
Speaker 1: got a service engine light soon and the code is

392
00:19:56,400 --> 00:19:59,960
Speaker 1: five zero five or seven high idol and it's idoline high.

393
00:20:01,040 --> 00:20:04,160
Speaker 1: And I go around checking externally and doing all these

394
00:20:04,280 --> 00:20:10,560
Speaker 1: tests for external leaks visually and sprain card cleaner when

395
00:20:10,640 --> 00:20:13,600
Speaker 1: it's cold and and everything is soon as you're running,

396
00:20:13,600 --> 00:20:15,760
Speaker 1: it's just idoline high. So I take it to the

397
00:20:15,840 --> 00:20:18,399
Speaker 1: shop and they diagnosed that they put a vacuum gauge.

398
00:20:19,040 --> 00:20:21,760
Speaker 1: He says, Oh, it's got high vacuum, meaning there's an

399
00:20:21,840 --> 00:20:26,080
Speaker 1: internal leak, something sucking a lot of air. He says

400
00:20:26,119 --> 00:20:28,280
Speaker 1: that it's it's internal. We could do a smoke test,

401
00:20:28,359 --> 00:20:30,040
Speaker 1: but the best thing to do is just tear it apart.

402
00:20:30,119 --> 00:20:35,000
Speaker 1: I mean take it apart and and uh see see

403
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,399
Speaker 1: if they can see anything. And I'm wondering, you're not

404
00:20:38,480 --> 00:20:41,320
Speaker 1: buying that, are you? Well? Why I believe I have

405
00:20:41,320 --> 00:20:45,000
Speaker 1: an internal leak. But let's frustrating because I went through

406
00:20:45,040 --> 00:20:49,560
Speaker 1: this thorough using all the latest updated gasket sets on

407
00:20:49,600 --> 00:20:54,440
Speaker 1: the lower intake manifold that the still parts still gas

408
00:20:54,520 --> 00:20:59,440
Speaker 1: gets fell pro updated. So what what did I do wrong?

409
00:20:59,560 --> 00:21:02,080
Speaker 1: Through years ago? You didn't do anything wrong? All right,

410
00:21:02,280 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: Take a breath, all right, promise me, you'll take a breath.

411
00:21:04,720 --> 00:21:09,560
Speaker 1: We'll figure this out. So you have a scan tool, uh,

412
00:21:10,800 --> 00:21:14,159
Speaker 1: get some live data and all right, do you know what?

413
00:21:14,359 --> 00:21:16,040
Speaker 1: Do you know what the idol air control motor is

414
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:20,000
Speaker 1: the IAQ Yeah. I actually replaced that at the beginning

415
00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:23,399
Speaker 1: of high idole and it didn't change anything. Okay, do

416
00:21:23,480 --> 00:21:24,600
Speaker 1: you know what the count Do you know what the

417
00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:27,720
Speaker 1: counts are? At what you know normal speed in park

418
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,760
Speaker 1: a c off? Do you know what the counts are?

419
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:34,000
Speaker 1: I didn't look at that. I checked tottle position and

420
00:21:34,080 --> 00:21:36,639
Speaker 1: I can see that going from the zero yeah, no, no, no,

421
00:21:36,840 --> 00:21:38,560
Speaker 1: stay with me. Do you know what the do you

422
00:21:38,600 --> 00:21:41,280
Speaker 1: know what the i A counts are? Do you remember? No,

423
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:44,720
Speaker 1: I didn't look at that. All right, write this number

424
00:21:44,800 --> 00:21:48,800
Speaker 1: down ten to thirty okay, okay, if if this engine

425
00:21:48,920 --> 00:21:53,000
Speaker 1: is mechanically sound, you're gonna see i AC counts between

426
00:21:53,160 --> 00:21:55,800
Speaker 1: ten and thirty. You know, if it's eight or thirty two.

427
00:21:55,840 --> 00:21:58,399
Speaker 1: I don't care, all right, what I what? I what?

428
00:21:58,520 --> 00:22:03,360
Speaker 1: I'm betting you're gonna see zero? All right? If if

429
00:22:03,440 --> 00:22:07,520
Speaker 1: the i AC counts are zero, that tells me we've

430
00:22:07,600 --> 00:22:12,560
Speaker 1: got an air leak. Ask me why? Okay, good question yeah,

431
00:22:12,600 --> 00:22:15,480
Speaker 1: you asking all the good questions today, kutto. So look

432
00:22:15,560 --> 00:22:18,840
Speaker 1: at the front door to your house. All right. If

433
00:22:19,119 --> 00:22:22,160
Speaker 1: if your front door was your throttle plate, all right,

434
00:22:22,280 --> 00:22:24,119
Speaker 1: and you wanted to raise the idol, what would you do?

435
00:22:24,200 --> 00:22:26,360
Speaker 1: You'd open the front door up, lit more air in, right,

436
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:30,320
Speaker 1: But your idol plate is fixed. It's it's either open

437
00:22:30,440 --> 00:22:32,800
Speaker 1: or closed. So if you look at your throttle plate

438
00:22:32,840 --> 00:22:35,080
Speaker 1: and your throttle housing, it's at that fixed position. So

439
00:22:35,160 --> 00:22:36,600
Speaker 1: how do they get the idol speed to go up

440
00:22:36,640 --> 00:22:38,639
Speaker 1: and down? Do you ever think about this? Right? You

441
00:22:38,760 --> 00:22:40,920
Speaker 1: know the answer. I know you know the answer. I'm

442
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,720
Speaker 1: just trying to paint the picture for everybody. If you

443
00:22:42,800 --> 00:22:44,960
Speaker 1: turn on the air conditioning and now there's additional load

444
00:22:45,640 --> 00:22:48,439
Speaker 1: on the engine, they move the IAK counts right, they

445
00:22:48,480 --> 00:22:50,920
Speaker 1: pull the IAC motor open, so they opened the front door.

446
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:54,800
Speaker 1: They lit a little more air through. Right. You ever

447
00:22:54,880 --> 00:22:56,600
Speaker 1: been in the house where there's like a draft and

448
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:58,080
Speaker 1: the first thing you do is close the front door,

449
00:22:58,119 --> 00:23:01,320
Speaker 1: and you still got a draft, and you go, all right,

450
00:23:01,400 --> 00:23:05,000
Speaker 1: who left the window open? All right? Well, the same thing.

451
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:08,879
Speaker 1: If the i AC counts read zero, that means the

452
00:23:08,960 --> 00:23:12,160
Speaker 1: front door is closed as long as it's mechanically closed,

453
00:23:12,200 --> 00:23:14,280
Speaker 1: which is you know, something you would have to physically

454
00:23:14,359 --> 00:23:17,200
Speaker 1: look at to see did it did it close? But

455
00:23:17,280 --> 00:23:19,520
Speaker 1: if it's physically closed, if the I A counts are

456
00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:23,160
Speaker 1: at zero, all right, that tells me the computers saying, hey,

457
00:23:23,320 --> 00:23:25,240
Speaker 1: you know we're we're we're too high of an idol speed.

458
00:23:25,320 --> 00:23:27,359
Speaker 1: I'm trying to close the i act down. It's got

459
00:23:27,400 --> 00:23:28,880
Speaker 1: the i AK all the way closed down and still

460
00:23:28,920 --> 00:23:31,880
Speaker 1: idling too fast. That means it's pulling air from somewhere else.

461
00:23:32,560 --> 00:23:35,720
Speaker 1: All right, that's number one. I want that test done.

462
00:23:36,080 --> 00:23:38,840
Speaker 1: Does it Does it prove anything? Well, it just proves,

463
00:23:39,040 --> 00:23:41,440
Speaker 1: you know, do I Before I take something apart and

464
00:23:41,520 --> 00:23:43,760
Speaker 1: go looking for something? You ever try to find a

465
00:23:43,800 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: needle in a haystack? Would you like to know where

466
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:47,560
Speaker 1: the needle is at LEAs which part of the haystack

467
00:23:47,640 --> 00:23:51,600
Speaker 1: we're looking for? All right, So let's do that. You know,

468
00:23:52,040 --> 00:23:54,720
Speaker 1: if if the counts go up with idle speed, in

469
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:57,600
Speaker 1: other words, if they're you know, if they're ten to thirty, um,

470
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:00,560
Speaker 1: you know, where's the throttle angle the throw don't angle

471
00:24:00,800 --> 00:24:03,040
Speaker 1: on a scan tool, it should always read zero percent,

472
00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,560
Speaker 1: all right, And then look at the throttle position sensor.

473
00:24:07,880 --> 00:24:10,720
Speaker 1: All right. The sensor voltage should be fixed and then

474
00:24:10,840 --> 00:24:13,800
Speaker 1: climb up. You know, half a vault, three quarters of

475
00:24:13,880 --> 00:24:16,920
Speaker 1: a vault, all right, you know zero, but it should

476
00:24:16,920 --> 00:24:19,359
Speaker 1: climb up. It shouldn't be if if the TPS, if

477
00:24:19,400 --> 00:24:21,240
Speaker 1: the throttle position censor is at a vault and a

478
00:24:21,280 --> 00:24:24,639
Speaker 1: half brother a vault and a half is third is

479
00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,879
Speaker 1: a third throttle? All right? You know? So, so we

480
00:24:27,960 --> 00:24:29,800
Speaker 1: want to look at TPS. We want to look at

481
00:24:29,840 --> 00:24:33,280
Speaker 1: i AC counts, all right, um, and then we want

482
00:24:33,320 --> 00:24:36,040
Speaker 1: to take a look at you know, if we if

483
00:24:36,080 --> 00:24:40,399
Speaker 1: we were to unplug the TPMs. I'm sorry the TPS. Boy,

484
00:24:40,440 --> 00:24:43,400
Speaker 1: It's funny how words changed. Right, If we unplug the TPS,

485
00:24:44,119 --> 00:24:48,120
Speaker 1: we should see the sensor voltage at zero, right, all right.

486
00:24:48,359 --> 00:24:54,000
Speaker 1: If we don't, maybe we've got a bad PCM, all right,

487
00:24:54,080 --> 00:24:57,800
Speaker 1: and maybe it's electronically being held high. Now, the other

488
00:24:57,880 --> 00:25:00,400
Speaker 1: thing you could do if you've got an air leak,

489
00:25:00,440 --> 00:25:02,040
Speaker 1: here's the big test you ready, Let's see if you

490
00:25:02,040 --> 00:25:05,200
Speaker 1: pass the final If if you walked up to this

491
00:25:05,359 --> 00:25:07,679
Speaker 1: car and you knew everything was good, and you were

492
00:25:07,720 --> 00:25:10,000
Speaker 1: ready to take the intake up because you suspected an

493
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:12,960
Speaker 1: air leak, what are you gonna go look at let's

494
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,760
Speaker 1: see how long you've been listening to this radio show.

495
00:25:14,920 --> 00:25:16,480
Speaker 1: What's the number one thing you're gonna look at on

496
00:25:16,520 --> 00:25:22,560
Speaker 1: your scan tool? Say fuel trim, Say fuel trim, fuel trim.

497
00:25:22,600 --> 00:25:26,480
Speaker 1: There you go, there's the answer. Right. If fuel trim.

498
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:28,960
Speaker 1: You know you understand fuel trim. I know because you

499
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:30,920
Speaker 1: and I have talked before. I know we've had conversations

500
00:25:30,960 --> 00:25:34,880
Speaker 1: about fuel trim. Right. So if if fuel trim, which

501
00:25:34,960 --> 00:25:37,639
Speaker 1: is you know, a balanced air fuel mixture is zero

502
00:25:37,800 --> 00:25:42,040
Speaker 1: plus or minus ten. If fuel trim short term or

503
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:47,760
Speaker 1: long term whatever we want to consider is showing in range, boy,

504
00:25:47,800 --> 00:25:49,359
Speaker 1: then don't we know we got a vacuum leak, we

505
00:25:49,400 --> 00:25:52,639
Speaker 1: got an air, we got air coming from somewhere. Okay,

506
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:55,720
Speaker 1: so why don't we diagnose by by that? Let's diagnose

507
00:25:55,800 --> 00:25:58,840
Speaker 1: by symptom? The heck with what the code says, maybe

508
00:25:58,920 --> 00:26:01,840
Speaker 1: wanted did say you put a vacuum gauge on it,

509
00:26:01,920 --> 00:26:04,280
Speaker 1: and then it has high vacuum way high? Well, but

510
00:26:04,640 --> 00:26:07,920
Speaker 1: but an engine should have high vacuument idle. It should

511
00:26:07,920 --> 00:26:11,400
Speaker 1: have eighteen and twenty vacuument idol. That's normal. Where dony,

512
00:26:11,440 --> 00:26:14,879
Speaker 1: where did you put the vacuum gauge? I there's a

513
00:26:15,080 --> 00:26:21,040
Speaker 1: port front manifold. Go Google search manifold vacuum idole? What

514
00:26:21,119 --> 00:26:22,719
Speaker 1: should it be? I bet you it shows you it's

515
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:26,440
Speaker 1: high if it's after the throttle plate, all right? And

516
00:26:26,520 --> 00:26:28,439
Speaker 1: then maybe just for giggles, if we decide that there

517
00:26:28,520 --> 00:26:30,960
Speaker 1: is a vacuum leak. I'm not saying it is. But

518
00:26:31,080 --> 00:26:33,240
Speaker 1: why don't we start if we see high fuel trim?

519
00:26:33,480 --> 00:26:35,879
Speaker 1: Why don't we start? Why don't we start disconnecting things like?

520
00:26:35,920 --> 00:26:38,080
Speaker 1: Why don't we unplug the brake booster? Got a vacuum

521
00:26:38,080 --> 00:26:40,680
Speaker 1: brake booster? Right? Have you ever seen a brake booster

522
00:26:40,720 --> 00:26:42,880
Speaker 1: give you a high idole because it's a vacuum leak? Hello?

523
00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:46,800
Speaker 1: I have? I have? Right? So how do the brakes

524
00:26:46,840 --> 00:26:48,800
Speaker 1: feel on this twenty year old car? Do they feel

525
00:26:48,800 --> 00:26:50,760
Speaker 1: as good as they should, as good as they once did?

526
00:26:51,359 --> 00:26:55,159
Speaker 1: Is it getting to be a hard pedal? Hello? No? No,

527
00:26:55,520 --> 00:27:00,200
Speaker 1: they it seems normal there. But start thinking out side

528
00:27:00,240 --> 00:27:04,920
Speaker 1: the box? All right? But what happens if leak? What?

529
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:08,320
Speaker 1: Could it be a cracked manifold? Yeah? I would I

530
00:27:08,359 --> 00:27:11,320
Speaker 1: would bet on a cracked manifold. Maybe maybe pulling something

531
00:27:11,440 --> 00:27:13,879
Speaker 1: through e g R and raising it that way, or

532
00:27:13,880 --> 00:27:16,480
Speaker 1: maybe the manifold brought it out through the sidewall. Any

533
00:27:16,560 --> 00:27:21,600
Speaker 1: signs of coolant in the oil? No, okay, let's you know.

534
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:23,840
Speaker 1: The Marines at Ewo had a famous saying, do you

535
00:27:23,880 --> 00:27:29,040
Speaker 1: know what it was? The means ideo GiMA? And I

536
00:27:29,119 --> 00:27:31,280
Speaker 1: know this because one of my landlords in the early

537
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:33,520
Speaker 1: on in my business life, he was he was the

538
00:27:33,600 --> 00:27:37,679
Speaker 1: third wave at Ewojima Up now, it wasn't never give up.

539
00:27:37,720 --> 00:27:38,920
Speaker 1: He said, let's wait, do we get to the beach

540
00:27:38,960 --> 00:27:41,240
Speaker 1: to see if we're gonna die? So, um, you know

541
00:27:41,240 --> 00:27:43,720
Speaker 1: in the words, don't worry about it. We're already here. Um,

542
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:45,800
Speaker 1: you know what, Let's not worry about the what if

543
00:27:45,880 --> 00:27:47,399
Speaker 1: and the who if and what you did wrong three

544
00:27:47,480 --> 00:27:49,320
Speaker 1: years ago. Let's figure out what's good now, and then

545
00:27:49,359 --> 00:27:51,280
Speaker 1: we can figure out what's bad, and then we'll find

546
00:27:51,320 --> 00:27:53,160
Speaker 1: out it's got nothing to do with anything you did.

547
00:27:53,960 --> 00:27:57,400
Speaker 1: So all right, stop blaming yourself. Diagnosis call me back.

548
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,879
Speaker 1: All right, kiddo, you'd be well. Let's let's pull over,

549
00:28:00,960 --> 00:28:04,679
Speaker 1: take a pause. Five zero, run nating in the car.

550
00:28:04,760 --> 00:28:06,840
Speaker 1: Doctor rate your service. Right after this, don't go away,

551
00:28:19,160 --> 00:28:21,520
Speaker 1: welcome back. I'm running nating the car. Doctorate your service.

552
00:28:21,600 --> 00:28:23,960
Speaker 1: Let's go over to Barbara in Pennsylvania. Barbara, Welcome to

553
00:28:24,000 --> 00:28:27,840
Speaker 1: the car doctor. How can I help? Thank you for

554
00:28:28,200 --> 00:28:30,760
Speaker 1: my car? UM? This is important to me right now,

555
00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:35,280
Speaker 1: very timely. UM. I was taking a friend about a

556
00:28:35,359 --> 00:28:38,680
Speaker 1: week ago to pick up our car, and I smelled

557
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,479
Speaker 1: a faint smell in my car. I have a two

558
00:28:40,560 --> 00:28:45,800
Speaker 1: thousand and ten buticle cern about thousand miles. And when

559
00:28:45,880 --> 00:28:48,080
Speaker 1: we got to her mechanic, I opened the hood to

560
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:51,120
Speaker 1: see if I could determine, you know, what the smell was,

561
00:28:51,200 --> 00:28:54,200
Speaker 1: and if I could see what something was. And the

562
00:28:54,320 --> 00:28:57,280
Speaker 1: mechanic I looked in the reservoir for the anti freeze

563
00:28:57,400 --> 00:29:00,360
Speaker 1: and it was down to about half an inch maybe,

564
00:29:01,040 --> 00:29:04,760
Speaker 1: And her mechanics said, well, gee, that's you know, He said,

565
00:29:04,760 --> 00:29:06,040
Speaker 1: do you want me to put some many freeze in?

566
00:29:06,160 --> 00:29:09,480
Speaker 1: I said, well, I think that's not good to run on,

567
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:13,160
Speaker 1: you know, so such a low level. So he puts

568
00:29:13,240 --> 00:29:16,360
Speaker 1: some in and I noticed it wasn't decks con I

569
00:29:16,440 --> 00:29:21,800
Speaker 1: think is required for that Deck's cool right, And I said,

570
00:29:22,080 --> 00:29:26,320
Speaker 1: isn't Deck's cool required for this um, this model? And

571
00:29:26,480 --> 00:29:29,560
Speaker 1: he said, well, they've had some problems with that. And

572
00:29:29,720 --> 00:29:33,080
Speaker 1: I don't know what what kinds he put in, but

573
00:29:33,800 --> 00:29:37,200
Speaker 1: he filled the reservoir from about two inches to the top,

574
00:29:37,640 --> 00:29:41,480
Speaker 1: and he said, watch your temperature gauge. Well, my temperature gauge,

575
00:29:41,520 --> 00:29:44,640
Speaker 1: even with the lower level, had not gone past the

576
00:29:45,080 --> 00:29:48,880
Speaker 1: middle range. I always keep an eye on it because

577
00:29:48,920 --> 00:29:53,320
Speaker 1: I have a gauge and so it and he said,

578
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:55,440
Speaker 1: have you seen any puddles under the card center? And

579
00:29:55,560 --> 00:29:57,960
Speaker 1: I said no, so it must be a very slow leak.

580
00:29:58,480 --> 00:30:05,400
Speaker 1: But it has leaked again. And I had the radiator

581
00:30:05,480 --> 00:30:08,680
Speaker 1: replaced with I'm hoping I was told what it was

582
00:30:08,720 --> 00:30:11,880
Speaker 1: a new radiator because I hit a deer in September

583
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,880
Speaker 1: and the condenser radiator called grill at Sarah had to

584
00:30:14,920 --> 00:30:19,520
Speaker 1: be replaced. And I never thought to ask what kind

585
00:30:19,600 --> 00:30:23,360
Speaker 1: of uh Andrew freeze the person put in the body shop,

586
00:30:23,600 --> 00:30:26,280
Speaker 1: And I'm hoping it was a correct kind. But then

587
00:30:26,320 --> 00:30:28,960
Speaker 1: I called a couple. I don't know what kind to

588
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:33,840
Speaker 1: put in because I've read that if you mix them

589
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:36,840
Speaker 1: then you can, you know, have trouble. And I looked

590
00:30:36,880 --> 00:30:40,560
Speaker 1: online a little bit. I called to dealerships. So anyway,

591
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:44,200
Speaker 1: I need your advice. So your your questions well again right,

592
00:30:44,280 --> 00:30:46,640
Speaker 1: So your question to me is, as I'm trying to

593
00:30:46,720 --> 00:30:49,840
Speaker 1: extrapulate here, um, could they have used the wrong cool

594
00:30:49,880 --> 00:30:53,960
Speaker 1: and then that's causing the leak. Right, that's question number one. Well,

595
00:30:54,120 --> 00:30:57,200
Speaker 1: that's a possible question, but I don't know what to

596
00:30:57,360 --> 00:30:59,520
Speaker 1: put in it. It's low and I can't drive it

597
00:30:59,720 --> 00:31:02,400
Speaker 1: with out you know, anything in it, and I'm in

598
00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:06,080
Speaker 1: a okay, dex School. You want to stay with deck school,

599
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:09,000
Speaker 1: all right? Twenty years ago, deck school was a problem.

600
00:31:09,360 --> 00:31:12,400
Speaker 1: General motors had an issue where they were some of

601
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:15,959
Speaker 1: their cars were having problems with radiator cap seals, faulty

602
00:31:16,080 --> 00:31:20,360
Speaker 1: radiator caps, rubber gaskets that weren't sealing properly, and when

603
00:31:20,440 --> 00:31:23,920
Speaker 1: oxygen got induced into a cooling system because it would

604
00:31:23,920 --> 00:31:27,120
Speaker 1: seep in over time, oxygen would especially when the vehicle

605
00:31:27,200 --> 00:31:29,120
Speaker 1: was shut off, and it would draw in. The more

606
00:31:29,200 --> 00:31:32,560
Speaker 1: oxygen was added to deck School, it created problems within

607
00:31:32,720 --> 00:31:35,680
Speaker 1: it and caused the deck school to become very corrosive.

608
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:39,360
Speaker 1: Those problems, the majority of them, were solved, probably better

609
00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,160
Speaker 1: than twelve or fifteen years ago. Um I used to

610
00:31:42,240 --> 00:31:44,280
Speaker 1: take a stand against dex School. I use it all

611
00:31:44,280 --> 00:31:46,440
Speaker 1: the time now, even in my personal vehicles, and my

612
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:48,920
Speaker 1: my stand against it twenty years ago was because of

613
00:31:48,960 --> 00:31:52,560
Speaker 1: the problems it created initially, but now with proper handling

614
00:31:52,640 --> 00:31:55,000
Speaker 1: of it, and good radiator caps, good seals. It's not

615
00:31:55,160 --> 00:31:58,240
Speaker 1: an issue. Stay with the deck school, all right. Who

616
00:31:58,360 --> 00:32:03,160
Speaker 1: did the repairs? A body shop or a garage shop? Okay,

617
00:32:03,240 --> 00:32:04,680
Speaker 1: I'll tell you what I've got to pull over. Take

618
00:32:04,720 --> 00:32:06,480
Speaker 1: a pause, stay right where you are. We're gonna finish

619
00:32:06,520 --> 00:32:08,280
Speaker 1: this on the other side, and I'll get you the

620
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,520
Speaker 1: answers you want. I'm runing any in. The car doctor

621
00:32:10,600 --> 00:32:22,680
Speaker 1: will return right after this. Welcome back the car doctor,

622
00:32:22,720 --> 00:32:28,280
Speaker 1: Barbara Pennsylvania. You're still there, right so you when you

623
00:32:28,360 --> 00:32:30,160
Speaker 1: asked me if it was a body shop or a

624
00:32:30,280 --> 00:32:34,640
Speaker 1: repair shop, it was actually a collision um repair place

625
00:32:34,760 --> 00:32:39,480
Speaker 1: that is attached to a dealership. Yeah, it's okay, that's okay.

626
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:42,320
Speaker 1: Did you go through and did you go through insurance?

627
00:32:42,360 --> 00:32:46,800
Speaker 1: Did your insurance pay for it as as collision okay? Perfect? Perfect?

628
00:32:46,960 --> 00:32:49,680
Speaker 1: All right? You gotta put dex cool in it. Let's

629
00:32:49,720 --> 00:32:52,400
Speaker 1: start there, all right. Now, when you're adding Annie freeze

630
00:32:52,440 --> 00:32:53,680
Speaker 1: to the bottle, you want to do it when the

631
00:32:53,720 --> 00:32:55,600
Speaker 1: car is cold, all right. You don't want to take

632
00:32:55,600 --> 00:32:58,120
Speaker 1: the radiator cap off when the car is warm, all right,

633
00:32:58,200 --> 00:32:59,640
Speaker 1: And you want to fill it to the lines on

634
00:32:59,720 --> 00:33:00,920
Speaker 1: the side out of the bottle. You want to go

635
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:02,800
Speaker 1: a smidge. You know how much a smidge is, right

636
00:33:02,840 --> 00:33:04,800
Speaker 1: thumb and four finger, just a little bit apart, just

637
00:33:04,920 --> 00:33:07,160
Speaker 1: to smidge over. That's okay, it'll burp the air down.

638
00:33:07,160 --> 00:33:10,320
Speaker 1: It's gonna leak anyway, from the sounds of it. All right, Now,

639
00:33:10,480 --> 00:33:15,520
Speaker 1: it's important. Cooling has to be mixed fifty cooling fifty water.

640
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:19,200
Speaker 1: So it's easier in your situation if you can find

641
00:33:19,360 --> 00:33:22,280
Speaker 1: a pre mixed Deck's cool any brand will do. It's

642
00:33:22,320 --> 00:33:24,120
Speaker 1: not gonna be in there long anyway, because it sounds

643
00:33:24,160 --> 00:33:25,840
Speaker 1: like you've got a coolant leak or some sort of

644
00:33:25,920 --> 00:33:29,600
Speaker 1: a coolant problem. Alright, we're going on the assumption that

645
00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:32,440
Speaker 1: it's the radiator that was recently replaced or through some

646
00:33:32,600 --> 00:33:34,880
Speaker 1: fault of that, but it could also it could be anything.

647
00:33:34,960 --> 00:33:36,640
Speaker 1: It could be a water pump that's leaking. It could

648
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,520
Speaker 1: be an internal engine issue. There's a you know, there's

649
00:33:38,560 --> 00:33:40,360
Speaker 1: there's ten steps that we've got to go through here,

650
00:33:40,600 --> 00:33:43,240
Speaker 1: let's get coolant in it. So before the parts store

651
00:33:43,320 --> 00:33:45,600
Speaker 1: is closed today, get down to your local parts store

652
00:33:46,040 --> 00:33:49,640
Speaker 1: and you're looking for coolant. Deck's cool coolant in a

653
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:53,280
Speaker 1: fifty fifty pre mix. If they make it, all right,

654
00:33:53,400 --> 00:33:55,400
Speaker 1: if not. You're just gonna buy straight coolant and then

655
00:33:55,400 --> 00:33:57,080
Speaker 1: you'll have to mix it at home on the kitchen counter.

656
00:33:57,320 --> 00:34:00,440
Speaker 1: All right, um, and that'll be fine too. She probably

657
00:34:00,480 --> 00:34:02,160
Speaker 1: only need one gallon. You want to buy two gallon,

658
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,600
Speaker 1: that's up to you. Hello, is the bottle now? Next

659
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:07,000
Speaker 1: step Monday, all right, and you're gonna fill it up

660
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:08,640
Speaker 1: and then you're gonna watch it over the weekend. D

661
00:34:08,760 --> 00:34:11,759
Speaker 1: see any drips, leaks, et cetera. All right, Monday, you're

662
00:34:11,760 --> 00:34:15,360
Speaker 1: gonna call your insurance company. All right, and you know

663
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,600
Speaker 1: you have this vehicle repaired in September. You've now got

664
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,400
Speaker 1: a cooling tissue. You're not sure if it's related to

665
00:34:21,480 --> 00:34:23,480
Speaker 1: the accident unless you see do you see cool and

666
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:27,400
Speaker 1: dripping out in the front of the vehicle somewhere? I

667
00:34:27,560 --> 00:34:32,640
Speaker 1: haven't observed that. I've kind of watched, but yeah, you

668
00:34:32,760 --> 00:34:35,360
Speaker 1: mean actively dripping or a puddle or a puddle just

669
00:34:35,719 --> 00:34:37,120
Speaker 1: you walk away and you come back and there's a

670
00:34:37,160 --> 00:34:40,880
Speaker 1: puddle on the ground. Yeah, I haven't seen that. Okay,

671
00:34:41,280 --> 00:34:43,480
Speaker 1: So it's either that or we've got to start with

672
00:34:43,840 --> 00:34:46,040
Speaker 1: You've got to take it to your local mechanic, tell

673
00:34:46,120 --> 00:34:48,279
Speaker 1: them the story, let him look at it. Is the

674
00:34:48,400 --> 00:34:51,240
Speaker 1: radiator leaking. If the radiator or anything around the radiator

675
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,480
Speaker 1: is leaking, then it goes back to the body shop.

676
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:55,480
Speaker 1: You've got to call your insurance company. It should be

677
00:34:55,600 --> 00:34:58,120
Speaker 1: covered under warranty. The other concern I want you to

678
00:34:58,200 --> 00:35:01,040
Speaker 1: mechanic to look at is is there wound mixing in

679
00:35:01,120 --> 00:35:03,400
Speaker 1: the engine oil? Pull the dip stick out. See if

680
00:35:03,440 --> 00:35:05,239
Speaker 1: the oil looks like oil. It doesn't look like a

681
00:35:05,360 --> 00:35:08,680
Speaker 1: chocolate milkshake. Those are the steps. Be careful, becautious. You'll

682
00:35:08,680 --> 00:35:10,480
Speaker 1: be fine until the next time I'm on an anying

683
00:35:10,480 --> 00:35:12,920
Speaker 1: in the car. Doctor reminding you good mechanics aren't expensive,

684
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:14,440
Speaker 1: they're priceless. Cigar
