00:00:24,320 --> 00:00:27,560
Speaker 1: this is where car owners the world overturned to for

7
00:00:27,680 --> 00:00:32,000
Speaker 1: their definitive opinion on automotive repair. If your mechanics giving

8
00:00:32,040 --> 00:00:34,680
Speaker 1: you a busy signal, pick up the phone and call

9
00:00:34,760 --> 00:00:37,879
Speaker 1: in the garage. Orders are open, but I am here

10
00:00:37,920 --> 00:00:40,279
Speaker 1: to take your calls at eight five five five six

00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:01,640
Speaker 1: eight five five five zero nine zero zero seven. That

17
00:01:01,760 --> 00:01:04,200
Speaker 1: number works sometimes it seems like that number works as

18
00:01:04,240 --> 00:01:06,720
Speaker 1: hard as the car Doctor, maybe harder. But that number

19
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:08,400
Speaker 1: is there all the time because you can call eight

20
00:01:08,440 --> 00:01:12,319

Speaker 1: it from different sources streaming and other places the internet,

27
00:01:27,880 --> 00:01:30,720

00:01:31,400 --> 00:01:34,480
Speaker 1: And you can call that eight five five zero nine

29

Speaker 1: Coast of the United States, and we can talk to

32
00:01:42,640 --> 00:01:46,200
Speaker 1: you live here on here. How is your week? I

33
00:01:46,240 --> 00:01:48,000
Speaker 1: don't know how my week was. It went by like

34
00:01:48,760 --> 00:01:51,320
Speaker 1: it was like, Wow, Look it's Friday. Wow, Look it's Saturday.

35
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:54,760
Speaker 1: How did that happen? I was sitting at the Delhi

36
00:01:54,840 --> 00:01:56,960
Speaker 1: yesterday and I've got a lot of things to talk about,

37
00:01:57,000 --> 00:01:59,240
Speaker 1: but I want to just bring this up real quick,

38
00:01:59,240 --> 00:02:01,480
Speaker 1: because I think Jimmy's right. I was at the Delhi

39
00:02:01,560 --> 00:02:03,560
Speaker 1: yesterday morning and Franklin Lakes where I go for the

40
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:07,360
Speaker 1: for the Friday morning ritual, and there was seven or

41
00:02:07,400 --> 00:02:10,559
Speaker 1: eight of us, the usual group of of of mechanics

42
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:14,919
Speaker 1: and mechanic wannabes and just tired people in general. And

43
00:02:15,360 --> 00:02:19,160
Speaker 1: my friend Dirty Jim was sitting there and Jimmy said,

44
00:02:20,280 --> 00:02:22,920
Speaker 1: you don't talk about the road to nowhere anymore, do you?

45
00:02:23,840 --> 00:02:25,480
Speaker 1: And I looked at him and I said the road.

46
00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:28,440
Speaker 1: He goes, yeah, you know, And I had forgotten about

47
00:02:28,520 --> 00:02:32,160
Speaker 1: the road to nowhere, and I had forgotten what that represented.

48
00:02:33,919 --> 00:02:36,720
Speaker 1: And it's sort of stuck in my brain for the

49
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:40,519
Speaker 1: last twenty four hours because I think we all need

50
00:02:40,520 --> 00:02:45,400
Speaker 1: a road to nowhere. I had forgotten what this concept was.

51
00:02:45,440 --> 00:02:46,760
Speaker 1: And if you're new to this show and you don't

52
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:53,320
Speaker 1: know what it is, feeling stressed, aggravated. A lot going on.

53
00:02:53,440 --> 00:02:55,639
Speaker 1: We got a big election coming up this week. Who

54
00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,320
Speaker 1: knows where or what it's gonna end up, how it's

55
00:02:57,320 --> 00:02:59,760
Speaker 1: gonna end up. I mean, good lord. They're talking things

56
00:02:59,760 --> 00:03:01,760
Speaker 1: in the paper. I was reading in the news today

57
00:03:02,040 --> 00:03:05,639
Speaker 1: that they're talking about people stocking up on survival food

58
00:03:06,680 --> 00:03:10,080
Speaker 1: because of the election, for fear of disruption to the

59
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:14,040
Speaker 1: commerce system. So this thing has all of you wound

60
00:03:14,120 --> 00:03:18,160
Speaker 1: up really tight. Here's how you're gonna survive. Maybe this

61
00:03:18,200 --> 00:03:20,800
Speaker 1: is the road to nowhere. How to survive the election

62
00:03:20,840 --> 00:03:26,639
Speaker 1: Tuesday tip. Put down the cell phone, turn off the computer,

63
00:03:27,960 --> 00:03:30,760
Speaker 1: gather up your family and go get in the car.

64
00:03:31,720 --> 00:03:35,440
Speaker 1: Go somewhere. Go take a ride, go see the sites,

65
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 1: do nothing, take an hour's ride to nowhere, go somewhere

66
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:42,920
Speaker 1: for lunch, make it a destination, lunch or breakfast. We

67
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:46,440
Speaker 1: still got half a weekend left, right. I remember them

68
00:03:46,480 --> 00:03:48,680
Speaker 1: as with my father as a kid, my father's trips

69
00:03:48,720 --> 00:03:50,520
Speaker 1: to know where we're called We're going to church to stand,

70
00:03:50,520 --> 00:03:53,120
Speaker 1: get in the car. I'm not sure where church to

71
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:56,480
Speaker 1: Stand was, but I just know it was very far away,

72
00:03:56,480 --> 00:03:58,160
Speaker 1: and I remember as a little kid we never seemed

73
00:03:58,200 --> 00:04:01,800
Speaker 1: to get there, because I remember the conversation when my

74
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:03,600
Speaker 1: father would talk to my mother when they got home

75
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:04,920
Speaker 1: and she goes, well, where'd you go? I went to

76
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:07,160
Speaker 1: get milk? Where was that chucha stand? She goes, oh,

77
00:04:07,240 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 1: that place again, And you know, you could tell that

78
00:04:12,120 --> 00:04:14,040
Speaker 1: there was a sense of hostility. Of course, when you're

79
00:04:14,040 --> 00:04:16,000
Speaker 1: seven years old, you kind of don't make that connection

80
00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,560
Speaker 1: until you're older and you realize she's made at him

81
00:04:18,600 --> 00:04:21,760
Speaker 1: because he's out gallivanting around with the kids to Pennsylvania

82
00:04:21,800 --> 00:04:24,800
Speaker 1: for milk on Sunday morning, and you know, but it's

83
00:04:24,839 --> 00:04:30,400
Speaker 1: it's it's that road to nowhere. I forgot how much

84
00:04:30,480 --> 00:04:34,560
Speaker 1: I enjoyed taking car trips. I forgot how much I

85
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,359
Speaker 1: enjoyed cars, and maybe that's part of it in that sense,

86
00:04:37,400 --> 00:04:39,719
Speaker 1: you know, that's why I like working on them, because

87
00:04:39,720 --> 00:04:42,440
Speaker 1: there is something about just getting in a car and

88
00:04:42,520 --> 00:04:48,039
Speaker 1: taking a ride going nowhere, no cell phone, no news on,

89
00:04:48,240 --> 00:04:51,120
Speaker 1: just talking to your family, just kind of oh yeah,

90
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:53,240
Speaker 1: that was my kid's middle name, and the back seat

91
00:04:53,320 --> 00:04:56,600
Speaker 1: now I kind of remember who that is. I think

92
00:04:56,600 --> 00:05:00,120
Speaker 1: I'm going to do that tomorrow. Actually, tomorrow to are

93
00:05:00,160 --> 00:05:03,640
Speaker 1: supposed to be nice here in the Northeast. I think

94
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:05,560
Speaker 1: tomorrow I'm gonna take one of the last rides in

95
00:05:05,560 --> 00:05:06,760
Speaker 1: the hot Rod. It might be one of the first

96
00:05:06,839 --> 00:05:08,360
Speaker 1: rides for the hot Rod this season. I didn't get

97
00:05:08,360 --> 00:05:11,000
Speaker 1: it out a whole lot, but I think I'm going

98
00:05:11,080 --> 00:05:12,479
Speaker 1: to take a ride in the hot Rod. I thought

99
00:05:12,480 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 1: about this middle of the week. It would be a

100
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:16,839
Speaker 1: great Sunday to go take a ride in a cruise

101
00:05:16,839 --> 00:05:18,960
Speaker 1: to nowhere and just kind of mind my p's and

102
00:05:19,040 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: queues in the afternoon and just kind of relaxing on

103
00:05:21,720 --> 00:05:24,960
Speaker 1: wine before Monday and it starts all over again, because

104
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:28,560
Speaker 1: I know, come Tuesday, whoever wins this election, whatever happens

105
00:05:28,600 --> 00:05:31,080
Speaker 1: on Tuesday, I'll be glad I had Sunday and Monday

106
00:05:31,120 --> 00:05:32,880
Speaker 1: before it to peace and quiet as much as I

107
00:05:32,880 --> 00:05:35,520
Speaker 1: could make before the chaos, and then you know what

108
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:39,360
Speaker 1: hits the fan. So maybe this wasn't so much of

109
00:05:39,360 --> 00:05:41,120
Speaker 1: as an automotive opening, but I just wanted to give

110
00:05:41,120 --> 00:05:43,560
Speaker 1: you that piece of advice because listen, we're like family,

111
00:05:43,600 --> 00:05:46,080
Speaker 1: you and I. We talk about cars each and every week.

112
00:05:46,120 --> 00:05:48,760
Speaker 1: We we we we we sit down, we have this conversation,

113
00:05:49,279 --> 00:05:50,919
Speaker 1: how do we fix this? How do we fix that?

114
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:53,080
Speaker 1: This week? I wanted to give you a tip on

115
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:56,200
Speaker 1: how to fix you, all right, and I encourage you

116
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:58,599
Speaker 1: to take it. And if you want to see something different,

117
00:05:59,080 --> 00:06:01,479
Speaker 1: just take a trip to no where. Maybe it could

118
00:06:01,480 --> 00:06:04,919
Speaker 1: even be at night. My kids tell me one of

119
00:06:04,960 --> 00:06:08,720
Speaker 1: their greatest childhood memories and that this is This came

120
00:06:08,800 --> 00:06:11,719
Speaker 1: up in the conversation two weeks ago. We were gathered

121
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:14,039
Speaker 1: around the table and they're telling me, Hey, how come

122
00:06:14,360 --> 00:06:17,039
Speaker 1: do you remember when? And they started talking about there's

123
00:06:17,040 --> 00:06:19,200
Speaker 1: a local airport here called Teeterborough and you can go

124
00:06:19,240 --> 00:06:22,520
Speaker 1: to Teterborough Airport, Teterborough, New Jersey and sit at the

125
00:06:22,600 --> 00:06:24,359
Speaker 1: end of the runway off to the side, or at

126
00:06:24,400 --> 00:06:27,599
Speaker 1: least you could fifteen years ago, and we would go

127
00:06:27,640 --> 00:06:30,039
Speaker 1: down there and what was then the family station wagon

128
00:06:30,760 --> 00:06:33,920
Speaker 1: and we would watch the airplanes take off and they

129
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:36,120
Speaker 1: would laugh and giggle and jump around and you know,

130
00:06:36,480 --> 00:06:38,880
Speaker 1: bounce over the seats. And it was the it was

131
00:06:38,920 --> 00:06:41,320
Speaker 1: the trip to Teterborough, the trip to nowhere that ended

132
00:06:41,400 --> 00:06:43,960
Speaker 1: up at the airport, and it was kind of fun

133
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,200
Speaker 1: family stuff and there was no computers, there was no

134
00:06:46,880 --> 00:06:51,000
Speaker 1: media assaults, there was no yelling and screaming. No, maybe

135
00:06:51,040 --> 00:06:52,760
Speaker 1: that's what we all need to do, take trips to

136
00:06:52,800 --> 00:06:55,440
Speaker 1: nowhere and uh they could be part of it. Yes, Tom,

Speaker 1: this week was a real doozy. It was about a

156
00:07:43,920 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 1: nine cheap wrangler with a high idol problem that you

157
00:07:46,120 --> 00:07:49,040
Speaker 1: won't believe what the fixes. So we're gonna talk about that.

158
00:07:49,320 --> 00:07:51,320
Speaker 1: We've got some phone calls I see lined up in

159
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: the queue. I want to talk about some of the

160
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:54,600
Speaker 1: things that went on in the shop this week. But

161
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:57,280
Speaker 1: right now, let's pull over and take the pause. When

162
00:07:57,280 --> 00:07:58,720
Speaker 1: we come back, we can hit it hard and we'll

163
00:07:58,720 --> 00:08:01,080
Speaker 1: crank the garage doors wide. I'm running any in the

164
00:08:01,080 --> 00:08:03,160
Speaker 1: Car Doctor, don't go away. I'm coming back right after this.

170
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,400
Speaker 1: and talk to Peter Snape, New Hampshire, two thousand seven.

171
00:08:26,440 --> 00:08:29,560
Speaker 1: Subaru and some issues here. Peter, Welcome to the car doctor, sir.

172
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,040
Speaker 1: How can I help? Heyron, good to talk to you.

173
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:36,560
Speaker 1: You've Subaru outback, had the head gas gets done, of course,

174
00:08:36,600 --> 00:08:40,160
Speaker 1: about a hundred fifty thousand miles. I have had catalytic

175
00:08:40,200 --> 00:08:43,640
Speaker 1: converters done the whole bit, and I've had a sort

176
00:08:43,640 --> 00:08:47,319
Speaker 1: of a weird situation where I'm having, um, some overheating

177
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,959
Speaker 1: issues where the coolant is backing up into the reservoir tank. Um,

178
00:08:52,400 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: and there's no leaks or anything like that. I did

179
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:56,600
Speaker 1: a water pump, everything is nice and tight, but it's

180
00:08:56,640 --> 00:08:58,480
Speaker 1: backing up into the tank. And I think it may

181
00:08:58,520 --> 00:09:00,760
Speaker 1: be because I use some radio their ceiling when I

182
00:09:00,960 --> 00:09:05,120
Speaker 1: was having some leaking and um. Every periodically I have

183
00:09:05,280 --> 00:09:07,480
Speaker 1: to open up the radiator cap, put some some more

184
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:10,080
Speaker 1: coolant into the radiator and it runs okay, and then

185
00:09:10,120 --> 00:09:12,440
Speaker 1: it backs up again into the into the reservoir. Then

186
00:09:12,480 --> 00:09:15,240
Speaker 1: it spills out over there. So I'm just I'm at

187
00:09:15,280 --> 00:09:17,880
Speaker 1: a complete loss. I haven't done compression test on the

188
00:09:17,960 --> 00:09:19,800
Speaker 1: cylinders to make sure that they're all okay, but the

189
00:09:19,880 --> 00:09:22,120
Speaker 1: engine has good tep to it, so I think that

190
00:09:22,160 --> 00:09:27,040
Speaker 1: there's anything there right are you? Are you consuming any coolant? Peter, Uh,

191
00:09:27,160 --> 00:09:30,520
Speaker 1: it is consuming coolant, but I think that's because it's

192
00:09:30,559 --> 00:09:33,400
Speaker 1: spilling out when it fills that reservoir attack to the top,

193
00:09:33,400 --> 00:09:35,840
Speaker 1: because it really does get up high. Did you happen

194
00:09:35,880 --> 00:09:38,120
Speaker 1: to or have you happened to replace the radiator cap

195
00:09:38,200 --> 00:09:42,240
Speaker 1: at any point? I have not. Okay, Um, get your

196
00:09:42,280 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 1: hands on. I'm gonna give you a bulletin number. There's

197
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:48,640
Speaker 1: a bulletin from Subaru O eight Dish fifty two, Dish

198
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,120
Speaker 1: O eight. That's that's pretty common. And what that talks

199
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 1: about is problems with the radiator cap itself. They talk

200
00:09:56,600 --> 00:10:00,240
Speaker 1: about the radiator cap pressure valve being stuck open or

201
00:10:00,679 --> 00:10:03,000
Speaker 1: and here's the ore, which is what jiggled my brain

202
00:10:03,040 --> 00:10:04,880
Speaker 1: when you said you put a cool and stealer in there,

203
00:10:05,240 --> 00:10:08,920
Speaker 1: debres getting sucked up into the tank hose and causing

204
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: a clog and affecting the cap as well. So I'm

205
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:15,520
Speaker 1: wondering if you've got something as simple as a radiator

206
00:10:15,600 --> 00:10:19,040
Speaker 1: cap issue. That bulletin talks in detail, and it applies

207
00:10:19,080 --> 00:10:21,480
Speaker 1: to quite a few model your sub brus and it

208
00:10:21,559 --> 00:10:26,240
Speaker 1: talks about modifying the reservoir hose UH to a different length,

209
00:10:26,280 --> 00:10:28,680
Speaker 1: And there was a bunch of information there that describes

210
00:10:28,720 --> 00:10:31,200
Speaker 1: your problem to a t and some of the changes

211
00:10:31,280 --> 00:10:33,439
Speaker 1: they want UM with regard to the length of the

212
00:10:33,480 --> 00:10:36,200
Speaker 1: hose in the bottle as well as the camp itself.

213
00:10:36,280 --> 00:10:38,120
Speaker 1: So it could be something as simple as that, and

214
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:39,679
Speaker 1: I would tell you, I would encourage you to go

215
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,440
Speaker 1: through that before you get anything do anything any crazier um,

216
00:10:44,040 --> 00:10:46,920
Speaker 1: you know, So that's number one. Obviously, you know you

217
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:48,280
Speaker 1: want to make you sure you get yourself a good

218
00:10:48,360 --> 00:10:50,960
Speaker 1: radiator cap. Stand to be fine. Get out the stand

219
00:10:51,040 --> 00:10:52,880
Speaker 1: dot com you'll read more about. As a matter of fact,

220
00:10:52,920 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: Stand has a good bunch of information about radiator cap

221
00:10:55,400 --> 00:10:58,040
Speaker 1: I never realized until about ten days ago. We were

222
00:10:58,080 --> 00:11:00,760
Speaker 1: doing something in the shop and we were looking at

223
00:11:00,960 --> 00:11:05,280
Speaker 1: a I believe it was a Chevy Malibu and we

224
00:11:05,400 --> 00:11:07,319
Speaker 1: were looking at d and the radiator cap on that

225
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,120
Speaker 1: was giving us an issue. And I never really stopped

226
00:11:09,160 --> 00:11:12,720
Speaker 1: to look at how radiator caps are really complicated little critters.

227
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,120
Speaker 1: You think they're so simple, but they're not. And there's

228
00:11:15,200 --> 00:11:16,959
Speaker 1: there's a lot of machining and there's a lot of

229
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,760
Speaker 1: it's got to be the right tension spring and the

230
00:11:18,840 --> 00:11:21,720
Speaker 1: right fabrication and manufacturing in order for it to work right.

231
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:24,200
Speaker 1: So just make sure if you put a radiator cap

232
00:11:24,280 --> 00:11:26,000
Speaker 1: on it, you get a good one number one, number two.

233
00:11:26,400 --> 00:11:27,839
Speaker 1: As long as I've got you on the phone, you're

234
00:11:27,880 --> 00:11:30,439
Speaker 1: up there in New Hampshire. Are you aware of the

235
00:11:30,640 --> 00:11:35,199
Speaker 1: probability possibility of brake line recall on that vehicle? Yes,

236
00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,360
Speaker 1: I am. It's been off the road for about a

237
00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,560
Speaker 1: year now because of this problem. I've been I've been

238
00:11:39,640 --> 00:11:41,360
Speaker 1: thinking I'm going to take it all apart and see

239
00:11:41,400 --> 00:11:43,199
Speaker 1: what I come up with, because I do have some

240
00:11:43,320 --> 00:11:45,880
Speaker 1: cool air coming out of one side of my of

241
00:11:46,000 --> 00:11:48,719
Speaker 1: my heating vents it's cooler than the other air, and

242
00:11:48,880 --> 00:11:51,160
Speaker 1: thinking maybe there's something there that's not allowing it to

243
00:11:51,240 --> 00:11:54,079
Speaker 1: circulate all the way through well, and and listen, I'm

244
00:11:54,120 --> 00:11:57,280
Speaker 1: not a fan of of of steelers in the radio

245
00:11:57,360 --> 00:12:00,240
Speaker 1: in the cooling systems on su Bruse. For some reason,

246
00:12:00,320 --> 00:12:04,000
Speaker 1: Subarus do not like cooling system sealer Subaru makes and

247
00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,800
Speaker 1: let me let me let me modify that statement. Subaru

248
00:12:06,920 --> 00:12:10,560
Speaker 1: makes a specific sealer that they want you to use.

249
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:13,880
Speaker 1: I can't get proof of it, but it sure looks

250
00:12:13,920 --> 00:12:16,319
Speaker 1: like bars leak. It sure smells like bars leak, but

251
00:12:16,360 --> 00:12:19,160
Speaker 1: it's in a private Subaru branded bottle and it makes

252
00:12:19,240 --> 00:12:21,360
Speaker 1: no reference to being bars leak. The stuff that's been

253
00:12:21,360 --> 00:12:23,480
Speaker 1: on the shelf for years and years and years. Um.

254
00:12:23,960 --> 00:12:27,040
Speaker 1: That that being said, UM, they want you to use

255
00:12:27,080 --> 00:12:29,959
Speaker 1: it in judicious amounts, and you know, not necessarily the

256
00:12:30,000 --> 00:12:32,240
Speaker 1: whole bottle at each service whenever you you know, whenever

257
00:12:32,280 --> 00:12:34,559
Speaker 1: you change the cool on a Subaru, they want a

258
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,720
Speaker 1: bottle of this to go in. So you know, depending

259
00:12:37,800 --> 00:12:40,400
Speaker 1: upon what you used, yes, you may have created an issue,

260
00:12:40,440 --> 00:12:43,120
Speaker 1: in which case probably the first thing I would do

261
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:45,640
Speaker 1: is just try doing a mild reverse flush on the

262
00:12:45,679 --> 00:12:49,400
Speaker 1: heater core. You know. Hook up, Um, you got access

263
00:12:49,440 --> 00:12:51,480
Speaker 1: to a five gallon white bucket and two pieces of

264
00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:55,439
Speaker 1: heater hose, you know, and and you know I made

265
00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:57,080
Speaker 1: up one. I've used it in the shop for years

266
00:12:57,080 --> 00:12:58,640
Speaker 1: where I went to the hardware store picked up a

267
00:12:58,720 --> 00:13:01,679
Speaker 1: hose end so I can with a direct coupling, you know,

268
00:13:02,040 --> 00:13:04,600
Speaker 1: a garden hose into it and just backflush the core

269
00:13:04,720 --> 00:13:07,160
Speaker 1: into the bucket. And I backflush it into the bucket

270
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,160
Speaker 1: for two reasons. Number one, I like the dispose of

271
00:13:09,200 --> 00:13:11,880
Speaker 1: the cool and properly. Number two. When I finally get

272
00:13:11,920 --> 00:13:14,760
Speaker 1: it all clear and it's all water, the white bucket

273
00:13:14,880 --> 00:13:17,600
Speaker 1: really makes It's amazing how how crud will stand out

274
00:13:17,720 --> 00:13:20,600
Speaker 1: against the background of a white pail. So you're really

275
00:13:20,679 --> 00:13:22,480
Speaker 1: see yeah, okay, look at the size of that. You

276
00:13:22,559 --> 00:13:24,480
Speaker 1: know that's pretty nasty. At least you know what you're

277
00:13:24,480 --> 00:13:28,000
Speaker 1: trying to get out. Sure, Sure, what sounds like. It

278
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:31,680
Speaker 1: sounds like great advice. Certainly, Uh, that's my course of action. Thanks,

279
00:13:31,720 --> 00:13:33,199
Speaker 1: I appreciate it. If you need more, you know where

280
00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,680
Speaker 1: to find me. Thank you, Peter, thank you. But let's

281
00:13:36,679 --> 00:13:39,040
Speaker 1: go over and talk to JJW New Haven, Connecticut and

282
00:13:39,320 --> 00:13:42,199
Speaker 1: must be suber rude here in the car office. Your

283
00:13:42,240 --> 00:13:44,719
Speaker 1: second call, Dr Ron, thanks you taking my call. And

284
00:13:44,800 --> 00:13:46,800
Speaker 1: oh seven Forester or what's going on here? J J

285
00:13:47,720 --> 00:13:49,800
Speaker 1: all of eighty thousand miles. I had a tune up

286
00:13:49,880 --> 00:13:52,560
Speaker 1: several months ago, and I was told by the garage

287
00:13:52,679 --> 00:13:54,160
Speaker 1: where I had the tune up done that I was

288
00:13:54,280 --> 00:13:58,280
Speaker 1: leaking power steering fluid and they'd fix it for me

289
00:13:58,440 --> 00:14:01,480
Speaker 1: for four hundred dollars and that I should be seeing

290
00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:04,559
Speaker 1: it leaking. And it's been four or five months later,

291
00:14:05,120 --> 00:14:08,160
Speaker 1: I've seen no sign of leaking. And the cards driving sign.

292
00:14:08,240 --> 00:14:11,360
Speaker 1: I just need some advice. First, first question is do

293
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:16,959
Speaker 1: you trust the garage? Great? Great question. Yeah, um, so

294
00:14:17,240 --> 00:14:20,320
Speaker 1: it's not a superut dealer. It's not, or it is

295
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:24,400
Speaker 1: it is not. And listen, I'm not a fan that

296
00:14:25,440 --> 00:14:28,600
Speaker 1: you know. My perspective is just because somebody has Subaru

297
00:14:28,720 --> 00:14:31,920
Speaker 1: over their doorway, or Chevy or Ford or R a

298
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:35,240
Speaker 1: automotive or whatever, it's a repair shop is only as

299
00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:38,160
Speaker 1: good as the people inside the place. So it doesn't

300
00:14:38,200 --> 00:14:41,080
Speaker 1: matter whether they're a dealer and independent. There's dishonesty and

301
00:14:41,640 --> 00:14:43,920
Speaker 1: you know, in all forms and walks and occupations of

302
00:14:43,960 --> 00:14:47,600
Speaker 1: life on this planet, it seems my my my comment is,

303
00:14:48,480 --> 00:14:51,440
Speaker 1: you know, if you're suspicious, see how they handle Hey,

304
00:14:51,520 --> 00:14:55,000
Speaker 1: can you show me the leak? I you know, I

305
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,560
Speaker 1: brought somebody into the baby the other day and I

306
00:14:57,600 --> 00:14:59,680
Speaker 1: started showing her things and she says, no mechanics ever

307
00:14:59,760 --> 00:15:01,720
Speaker 1: done is for me, And I went, well, you know,

308
00:15:01,760 --> 00:15:03,480
Speaker 1: I want you to understand what we're up against and

309
00:15:03,560 --> 00:15:05,520
Speaker 1: where we're where. We're looking at the car this way,

310
00:15:05,560 --> 00:15:07,520
Speaker 1: and she walked out saying, you know, you really made

311
00:15:07,520 --> 00:15:09,320
Speaker 1: me feel comfortable looking at the car, and that's sort

312
00:15:09,360 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: of my job It's not just there to fix the cards.

313
00:15:11,920 --> 00:15:13,520
Speaker 1: My job is supposed to be to sort of help

314
00:15:13,600 --> 00:15:15,800
Speaker 1: fix the customer, to get you guys comfortable with what's

315
00:15:15,800 --> 00:15:18,600
Speaker 1: going on, and and and and part of that is

316
00:15:18,720 --> 00:15:20,440
Speaker 1: if I can be on the soapbox for a second,

317
00:15:20,520 --> 00:15:22,160
Speaker 1: not too long, you tell me when they get off.

318
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:26,600
Speaker 1: Is if you think it's difficult to understanding this generation

319
00:15:26,680 --> 00:15:30,440
Speaker 1: of car, holy smokes, wait till the twenty six start

320
00:15:30,520 --> 00:15:32,720
Speaker 1: coming out and and want to be repaired. Ten years

321
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:34,760
Speaker 1: from now, you guys are gonna be scratching your head, going,

322
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,440
Speaker 1: my god, bring back bring back a two thousand six.

323
00:15:37,520 --> 00:15:41,240
Speaker 1: It was so much simpler, and they're complicated. So you

324
00:15:41,320 --> 00:15:43,520
Speaker 1: can handle this one of two ways. Take it back

325
00:15:43,560 --> 00:15:45,000
Speaker 1: to him and say, you know, I'm thinking about that

326
00:15:45,200 --> 00:15:48,840
Speaker 1: power steering leak. Can you show me the leak? Can

327
00:15:48,880 --> 00:15:51,800
Speaker 1: you show me where it's leaking? And and see how

328
00:15:51,880 --> 00:15:57,320
Speaker 1: they react to that. You know, what should I be

329
00:15:57,440 --> 00:16:00,400
Speaker 1: failing any kind of pull or tightness if in fact

330
00:16:00,440 --> 00:16:03,760
Speaker 1: it was well, only if it was low enough on fluid.

331
00:16:03,840 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 1: But your first reaction, or your first indication JJ would

332
00:16:07,920 --> 00:16:10,760
Speaker 1: be you'd get that per per you know, power steering

333
00:16:10,840 --> 00:16:14,320
Speaker 1: wine because there's air in the system. So you know,

334
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:17,440
Speaker 1: do power steering pumps on super use go bed? I

335
00:16:17,480 --> 00:16:19,440
Speaker 1: don't know. Is the sun gonna come up tomorrow if they?

336
00:16:19,800 --> 00:16:23,840
Speaker 1: If it does, it will, but you know, it's it's,

337
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:26,440
Speaker 1: it's and then you've got to have the conversation with him. Okay,

338
00:16:26,640 --> 00:16:30,400
Speaker 1: whose power steering pump are they putting on it? Because

339
00:16:30,720 --> 00:16:33,560
Speaker 1: you know what kind of warranty is there. My experience

340
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:37,200
Speaker 1: has been that the majority of the power steering pumps

341
00:16:37,240 --> 00:16:40,320
Speaker 1: being remanned in the aftermarket, there's only one or two

342
00:16:40,440 --> 00:16:43,080
Speaker 1: good vendors and the rest of them are just I

343
00:16:43,160 --> 00:16:45,240
Speaker 1: think they're doing it in their basement on in their

344
00:16:45,280 --> 00:16:48,440
Speaker 1: spare time, after hours because they're they're clearly not professional

345
00:16:48,480 --> 00:16:51,320
Speaker 1: in the way they're put together. So I would definitely

346
00:16:51,400 --> 00:16:54,600
Speaker 1: compare pricing between buying a new pump out of Subaru,

347
00:16:55,000 --> 00:16:57,880
Speaker 1: a reman pumped from a reputable supplier that's gonna give

348
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,080
Speaker 1: you the same warranty as the super U dealer and

349
00:17:00,200 --> 00:17:02,640
Speaker 1: vice versa. You know, somebody doesn't repair like that. It

350
00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:06,879
Speaker 1: should come with a minimum of a year guarantee. Just

351
00:17:07,040 --> 00:17:09,280
Speaker 1: to follow up, I'm garaging this in a month for

352
00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:12,560
Speaker 1: five months. Actually have this looked at before I do that? Yeah,

353
00:17:12,600 --> 00:17:14,680
Speaker 1: I would, Um, listen, don't you want to know that?

354
00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:17,120
Speaker 1: I would have that looked at in a general overall

355
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,200
Speaker 1: look of the vehicle, because when you garage it for

356
00:17:20,320 --> 00:17:22,119
Speaker 1: five months and then take it out come you know,

357
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:25,560
Speaker 1: April or March, you know I would have another look

358
00:17:25,600 --> 00:17:28,240
Speaker 1: and see that anything deteriorate while it was sitting for

359
00:17:28,359 --> 00:17:31,160
Speaker 1: five months, you know it. So this way, at least

360
00:17:31,200 --> 00:17:34,320
Speaker 1: you you you kind of know, all right, it's you know,

361
00:17:34,440 --> 00:17:36,080
Speaker 1: cars change in the blink of an eye, and the

362
00:17:36,119 --> 00:17:38,400
Speaker 1: conditions change in the blink of an eye. And then,

363
00:17:38,440 --> 00:17:40,879
Speaker 1: more importantly than that, if you still don't trust these

364
00:17:40,920 --> 00:17:43,720
Speaker 1: guys after they can handle this, then you gotta find

365
00:17:43,760 --> 00:17:47,760
Speaker 1: a mechanic. Do you make house calls? Um? I don't know.

366
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:49,359
Speaker 1: I got a lot going on right now. J J.

367
00:17:49,440 --> 00:17:52,440
Speaker 1: I'd love to, but uh, you know the answer is yes,

368
00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:55,120
Speaker 1: but no, we'll talk. Let me know what happens, JJ,

369
00:17:55,320 --> 00:17:57,280
Speaker 1: and UH have some fun out there in the sun.

370
00:17:57,359 --> 00:17:59,000
Speaker 1: I guess you're going to Florida for five months. That's

371
00:17:59,040 --> 00:18:01,000
Speaker 1: why you're putting the car away. I'm run an Anie

372
00:18:01,000 --> 00:18:02,720
Speaker 1: in the car doctor when I was a quick first

373
00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,360
Speaker 1: half of the show, We're gonna heck the b goo though,

374
00:18:04,480 --> 00:18:06,960
Speaker 1: so I'm making Tom smile. I'll run an any in

375
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:27,480
Speaker 1: the car doctor. I'll be back right after this. Hey,

376
00:18:27,560 --> 00:18:29,520
Speaker 1: welcome back any of the car doctor. Kind of rolling

377
00:18:29,520 --> 00:18:33,239
Speaker 1: along this hour. By the way, what is it with Samsung? Right?

378
00:18:33,280 --> 00:18:35,480
Speaker 1: We're talking about recoils over the last couple of weeks.

379
00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:40,639
Speaker 1: Air bags, now, cell phones explode, now washing machines explode?

380
00:18:41,560 --> 00:18:46,800
Speaker 1: You know, is are we just accepting of this? Are

381
00:18:46,880 --> 00:18:49,840
Speaker 1: we just expecting everything to fail and we just let

382
00:18:49,920 --> 00:18:52,600
Speaker 1: these companies keep going on and on and on. How

383
00:18:52,640 --> 00:18:56,119
Speaker 1: come this isn't like front page news. Everybody's rattling on

384
00:18:56,240 --> 00:18:58,720
Speaker 1: about it. I remember twenty years ago when General Motors

385
00:18:58,760 --> 00:19:00,640
Speaker 1: couldn't make a transmission to say of their life. That's

386
00:19:00,640 --> 00:19:04,480
Speaker 1: all we ever talked about. I I don't know, I

387
00:19:04,520 --> 00:19:06,639
Speaker 1: don't get it. You know, everybody seems even making a

388
00:19:06,760 --> 00:19:09,000
Speaker 1: chromy product, and everybody seems to be accepting of it.

389
00:19:09,520 --> 00:19:12,280
Speaker 1: You know, it's uh, maybe the future is just going

390
00:19:12,359 --> 00:19:16,040
Speaker 1: back to juice canto strings. Boy, they didn't explode. Uh,

391
00:19:16,320 --> 00:19:18,119
Speaker 1: you know, it's maybe all this is hype just to

392
00:19:18,200 --> 00:19:20,480
Speaker 1: keep us distracted from what's really going on. Let's get

393
00:19:20,480 --> 00:19:22,920
Speaker 1: over and talk to ED Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. Ed welcome to

394
00:19:22,960 --> 00:19:24,720
Speaker 1: the car doctor. I'm just rambling a little bit today.

395
00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:26,920
Speaker 1: How are you today, sir? What's going on? How I'm

396
00:19:26,960 --> 00:19:32,399
Speaker 1: doing doing well? Um? Yeah? I have a Altobil Coutlass

397
00:19:32,400 --> 00:19:37,160
Speaker 1: Supreme SL three point one leader engine. Um. And what's

398
00:19:37,240 --> 00:19:40,160
Speaker 1: going on is uh, after driving it for a little while,

399
00:19:41,359 --> 00:19:44,320
Speaker 1: when I stop the red traffic light idoling, the car

400
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:46,399
Speaker 1: starts sputtering. It sounds kind of like reminds me of

401
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,600
Speaker 1: one of those Harley Davidson motorcycles who goes up up, up, up,

402
00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:54,320
Speaker 1: up up, and my techometer metal meter, it's not more

403
00:19:54,359 --> 00:19:56,359
Speaker 1: and they'll start bouncing down and then it finally it

404
00:19:56,480 --> 00:20:00,520
Speaker 1: actually does stall. And then when I try to immediately

405
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:03,080
Speaker 1: trying to crank it back up, I get no, I

406
00:20:03,160 --> 00:20:05,640
Speaker 1: get the red death lights come on. The death lights

407
00:20:05,640 --> 00:20:08,920
Speaker 1: come on, but there's no crank at all. Um. But

408
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,119
Speaker 1: but interestingly, interestingly, if I wait like uh three minutes,

409
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,040
Speaker 1: right there at the intersection, I turned the key and

410
00:20:16,080 --> 00:20:18,440
Speaker 1: it crank's right up, really strong crank boom that goes

411
00:20:18,520 --> 00:20:21,280
Speaker 1: right off and I'm all my way uh and and

412
00:20:21,440 --> 00:20:24,520
Speaker 1: and then when I'm uh, then for the next few

413
00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:26,320
Speaker 1: lights or whatever, I have to put it in a

414
00:20:26,359 --> 00:20:28,800
Speaker 1: neutral and give a gas you know, what's our spluttering,

415
00:20:28,840 --> 00:20:31,200
Speaker 1: so it doesn't doesn't install. That seems to help prevent

416
00:20:31,280 --> 00:20:33,960
Speaker 1: the stalling. But then I mean putting, throwing it neutral,

417
00:20:34,000 --> 00:20:36,440
Speaker 1: giving a gas and then coming off the off the

418
00:20:36,520 --> 00:20:40,200
Speaker 1: light everything. But so I'm I'm per perplexed to what's

419
00:20:40,200 --> 00:20:44,200
Speaker 1: going on. Belching any black smoked, No, No, that's that's

420
00:20:44,359 --> 00:20:48,240
Speaker 1: that's fine. Um. I have a theory that maybe it's

421
00:20:48,440 --> 00:20:52,560
Speaker 1: there's a installation of plantic installation over some wiring maybe

422
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:56,240
Speaker 1: maybe maybe gone, and it's grounding somewhere shorting out well

423
00:20:56,840 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 1: you know before we it almost it almost sounds like

424
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:02,879
Speaker 1: you may have two problems. So let's let's talk about

425
00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:07,240
Speaker 1: the no crank condition first. All right, the no crank condition.

426
00:21:07,320 --> 00:21:09,240
Speaker 1: This car should have past locked two. If you look

427
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:10,800
Speaker 1: at the ignition key, does that have a little black

428
00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:14,440
Speaker 1: chip in the key? Definitely does, Okay, so that's past

429
00:21:14,520 --> 00:21:18,160
Speaker 1: lock two. Passlock two was general motors idea that somebody

430
00:21:18,200 --> 00:21:21,199
Speaker 1: would want to steal this car, which I guess when

431
00:21:21,240 --> 00:21:23,119
Speaker 1: it was new, maybe it was something they wanted to

432
00:21:23,119 --> 00:21:26,320
Speaker 1: steal and they put an anti theft chip in there

433
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,400
Speaker 1: so that would keep the vehicle from cranking and put

434
00:21:29,440 --> 00:21:31,960
Speaker 1: it into a no start condition. Um. If that if

435
00:21:32,040 --> 00:21:35,600
Speaker 1: somebody you know, tried to bypass the security system. So

436
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:40,840
Speaker 1: does the car have tilt wheel? Um? I don't think so.

437
00:21:41,560 --> 00:21:43,639
Speaker 1: No tilt column. Let me let me let me think

438
00:21:43,640 --> 00:21:46,160
Speaker 1: about this. I actually I think I've never used because

439
00:21:46,160 --> 00:21:52,720
Speaker 1: I think it has it, but you never use it? Right? What? What? What?

440
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:54,680
Speaker 1: One of the ways we used to test to see

441
00:21:54,720 --> 00:21:56,600
Speaker 1: if this was a pass lock problem, and it's not

442
00:21:56,880 --> 00:21:59,640
Speaker 1: completely accurate, but it's a good side of the side

443
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:03,000
Speaker 1: of the sort of test is take the tilt and

444
00:22:03,359 --> 00:22:05,359
Speaker 1: the next time it goes into a no start, no crank,

445
00:22:05,480 --> 00:22:08,680
Speaker 1: take the tilt and change the position of the column,

446
00:22:09,440 --> 00:22:12,000
Speaker 1: you know, high low, Because what you're doing is you're

447
00:22:12,040 --> 00:22:15,600
Speaker 1: flexing the wires, and if the wires themselves inside the

448
00:22:15,640 --> 00:22:19,119
Speaker 1: column have a connection or a fray or a looseness issue,

449
00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,040
Speaker 1: bouncing them around will change that. And if while you're

450
00:22:22,080 --> 00:22:26,199
Speaker 1: doing that it starts or it cranks, that tells us

451
00:22:26,240 --> 00:22:28,280
Speaker 1: we've got a problem. Up in the top of the column.

452
00:22:29,440 --> 00:22:31,840
Speaker 1: All right, If you were to go to the base

453
00:22:31,920 --> 00:22:35,280
Speaker 1: of the steering column, there are two very thin kind

454
00:22:35,320 --> 00:22:39,080
Speaker 1: of like piano wire, white wires in a separate connector.

455
00:22:39,960 --> 00:22:43,920
Speaker 1: All right, those are the two wires leading up that

456
00:22:44,200 --> 00:22:49,000
Speaker 1: the theft module reads the resistance of the key when

457
00:22:49,040 --> 00:22:51,000
Speaker 1: you put it into the cylinder. So what happens is

458
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:55,600
Speaker 1: Ed comes along, puts his key in the ignition switch.

459
00:22:56,400 --> 00:22:59,520
Speaker 1: There is a device in the ignition switch that allows

460
00:22:59,600 --> 00:23:02,720
Speaker 1: it to transmit the resistance value of that chip down

461
00:23:02,800 --> 00:23:05,639
Speaker 1: the wires to the theft module. The theft module goes, Okay,

462
00:23:05,720 --> 00:23:08,760
Speaker 1: it's Ed and not somebody with a screwdriver trying to

463
00:23:08,800 --> 00:23:12,040
Speaker 1: steal the car, and it then gives the okay signal

464
00:23:12,119 --> 00:23:14,439
Speaker 1: to the PCM to allow it to crank and run

465
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:18,520
Speaker 1: the injectors. All right, So you know that's the first thing.

466
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:20,680
Speaker 1: A lot of people at this point in the game

467
00:23:21,000 --> 00:23:24,800
Speaker 1: bypass that system, all right, simply by And I think

468
00:23:24,800 --> 00:23:26,400
Speaker 1: I can talk about this on here because I don't

469
00:23:26,400 --> 00:23:29,840
Speaker 1: think anybody's stealing is probably at the top of anybody's

470
00:23:29,880 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 1: list at this point. But what what they'll do is

471
00:23:32,359 --> 00:23:35,280
Speaker 1: they they will take a resistance value reading off the key,

472
00:23:35,320 --> 00:23:38,480
Speaker 1: Take a digital vault home meter, measure the chip. Each

473
00:23:38,520 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: side of that chip has a little piece of metal

474
00:23:40,359 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 1: sticking out of it. Put an ometer across the chip

475
00:23:43,160 --> 00:23:45,680
Speaker 1: and you'll get a resistance value. Go to the base

476
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,840
Speaker 1: of the column unplugged the connector there. Go to radio shack,

477
00:23:49,920 --> 00:23:54,040
Speaker 1: get yourself a resistor, plug it into that harness. It'll

478
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:56,760
Speaker 1: think that it's got the right resistance all day long

479
00:23:56,800 --> 00:23:59,919
Speaker 1: and start the car. All right, it'll require the key.

480
00:24:00,000 --> 00:24:01,800
Speaker 1: It will require the key still, but at least you

481
00:24:01,920 --> 00:24:06,320
Speaker 1: bypass that module. Now, what that does is that bypasses

482
00:24:06,400 --> 00:24:11,239
Speaker 1: the potential of broken wires up inside the column. Al Right.

483
00:24:12,280 --> 00:24:15,960
Speaker 1: That doesn't allow if the module or the wiring from

484
00:24:16,040 --> 00:24:18,639
Speaker 1: the bottom of the column over to the module have

485
00:24:18,760 --> 00:24:22,080
Speaker 1: a fault in them. Does that make sense? I think.

486
00:24:22,119 --> 00:24:24,600
Speaker 1: So you're trying to be trying to bypass that chip

487
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:29,399
Speaker 1: by two white candle wires you make coming out right,

488
00:24:29,560 --> 00:24:32,240
Speaker 1: You're trying to I'm putting I'm putting a radio shack

489
00:24:32,280 --> 00:24:34,399
Speaker 1: resist between those, right, You're putting to put a resistor

490
00:24:34,440 --> 00:24:37,600
Speaker 1: across those wires. You're trying to duplicate what the key

491
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:40,280
Speaker 1: would normally send down as a signal. So so at

492
00:24:40,359 --> 00:24:43,320
Speaker 1: that point you're bypassing the ignition switch and the two

493
00:24:43,359 --> 00:24:45,800
Speaker 1: white wires that might be broken up inside the column.

494
00:24:46,240 --> 00:24:48,000
Speaker 1: What what do I What kind of resistor do I get?

495
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,920
Speaker 1: You say, can tell them, Yeah, tell them what you're

496
00:24:50,920 --> 00:24:54,520
Speaker 1: looking for? A resistance that's got one point eight olms

497
00:24:54,600 --> 00:24:56,400
Speaker 1: or two olms or you know, two point two oms.

498
00:24:56,400 --> 00:24:58,280
Speaker 1: There's not a lot of wattage here. It doesn't require

499
00:24:58,280 --> 00:25:00,960
Speaker 1: a lot, all right. So that that that, and you

500
00:25:01,200 --> 00:25:03,320
Speaker 1: know what, if you went out to YouTube. I haven't

501
00:25:03,359 --> 00:25:05,400
Speaker 1: done this in a long time because we haven't seen

502
00:25:05,440 --> 00:25:07,639
Speaker 1: too many there twenty one years old now, but I'm

503
00:25:07,680 --> 00:25:10,800
Speaker 1: sure out on YouTube somebody's got a how to bypass

504
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:14,600
Speaker 1: your GM pass two key system UM and install the

505
00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:18,280
Speaker 1: resistor chips so that that eliminates that UM. That should

506
00:25:18,320 --> 00:25:21,800
Speaker 1: allow starter enable, all right. Because the PCM did have

507
00:25:21,880 --> 00:25:25,359
Speaker 1: authority to prevent the starter from cranking on those vehicles,

508
00:25:25,640 --> 00:25:28,760
Speaker 1: that should allow starter enable. After that, it gets a

509
00:25:28,760 --> 00:25:30,560
Speaker 1: little bit more involved. Looking to see that we have

510
00:25:30,680 --> 00:25:32,639
Speaker 1: starter enabled. You need a scan tool to look at

511
00:25:32,640 --> 00:25:36,600
Speaker 1: a few things. So that's the first half of this conversation.

512
00:25:36,720 --> 00:25:39,520
Speaker 1: That's that side of the table, all right. I don't

513
00:25:39,600 --> 00:25:42,280
Speaker 1: think that's going to fix your stall problem. What I

514
00:25:42,359 --> 00:25:45,040
Speaker 1: want to know about your stall condition is I think

515
00:25:45,080 --> 00:25:47,600
Speaker 1: about fuel pressure regulators going bad. What is this the

516
00:25:47,720 --> 00:25:51,480
Speaker 1: three one or the three four? Which engine is this one? Okay?

517
00:25:51,720 --> 00:25:55,200
Speaker 1: So I think about fuel pressure regulators going bad, and

518
00:25:55,440 --> 00:25:58,280
Speaker 1: and burping fuel, the diaphragms go bad, they get porous,

519
00:25:59,040 --> 00:26:01,440
Speaker 1: and you know there's issues there. So do we have

520
00:26:01,520 --> 00:26:03,719
Speaker 1: a problem with fuel causing this to stall? And then

521
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,800
Speaker 1: subsequently you have this past two key system because I'm

522
00:26:06,840 --> 00:26:09,040
Speaker 1: thinking everything is twenty one years old here everything, you know,

523
00:26:09,119 --> 00:26:11,680
Speaker 1: it is kind of on the ragged edge in terms

524
00:26:11,720 --> 00:26:14,520
Speaker 1: of age and condition. Um, could we have could we

525
00:26:14,720 --> 00:26:19,680
Speaker 1: have a pressure regulator fuel system, pressure regulator going south

526
00:26:19,760 --> 00:26:22,639
Speaker 1: causing it to flood out potentially, um giving us a

527
00:26:22,680 --> 00:26:24,840
Speaker 1: stall condition. And then the past key gives us a

528
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:27,320
Speaker 1: no start. Uh. You know, once you get it to

529
00:26:27,400 --> 00:26:31,320
Speaker 1: the point of starting or cranking, it's got a crank,

530
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:34,720
Speaker 1: all right, because the logic is what happens under the

531
00:26:34,800 --> 00:26:37,440
Speaker 1: hood won't keep it from cranking. It's still got a crank,

532
00:26:37,880 --> 00:26:40,760
Speaker 1: all right. It's it's just like any car where on

533
00:26:40,840 --> 00:26:42,600
Speaker 1: an older car, if you pull the coil wire out

534
00:26:42,600 --> 00:26:44,639
Speaker 1: of a crank all day long, but the spark goes nowhere,

535
00:26:44,680 --> 00:26:46,960
Speaker 1: so it will never start. The car has got a crank.

536
00:26:47,240 --> 00:26:49,960
Speaker 1: The car doesn't crank. We're gonna fix the cranking problem first,

537
00:26:50,240 --> 00:26:51,960
Speaker 1: and if you still have the problem then we'll talk.

538
00:26:52,280 --> 00:26:54,040
Speaker 1: You know, is it a fuel pressure regulator? Is an

539
00:26:54,080 --> 00:26:56,159
Speaker 1: idol air control valve getting hung up, not able to

540
00:26:56,200 --> 00:27:00,199
Speaker 1: idle properly? Is it a map sensor issue? What is it? Uh? Um,

541
00:27:00,520 --> 00:27:03,880
Speaker 1: Let's let's let's do the passlock to issue first. Let's

542
00:27:03,920 --> 00:27:06,720
Speaker 1: solve that so at least it cranks every time, and

543
00:27:06,760 --> 00:27:08,440
Speaker 1: then we can talk about the rest if we need to.

544
00:27:08,800 --> 00:27:12,159
Speaker 1: All right, sir, okay um. The one thing I was

545
00:27:12,600 --> 00:27:17,360
Speaker 1: someone that suggests, maybe, um, the battery, uh, he says, Um,

546
00:27:17,720 --> 00:27:20,240
Speaker 1: it's seen the battery will short out and cause the

547
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:22,680
Speaker 1: engine to stall and not crank. Mean there somehow the

548
00:27:22,960 --> 00:27:26,360
Speaker 1: battery itself will cause a short in the in the system. Well,

549
00:27:26,560 --> 00:27:28,760
Speaker 1: I always would start a good diagnosis, and it's a

550
00:27:28,800 --> 00:27:30,879
Speaker 1: good point to bring up. I would always start a

551
00:27:30,920 --> 00:27:33,240
Speaker 1: good diagnosis on these cars by doing a full load

552
00:27:33,280 --> 00:27:36,960
Speaker 1: test on the battery and and making sure the cables

553
00:27:37,040 --> 00:27:40,760
Speaker 1: themselves are good, clean and tight, not just at the battery,

554
00:27:41,359 --> 00:27:43,840
Speaker 1: but also down at the starter where the positive lug

555
00:27:43,920 --> 00:27:46,080
Speaker 1: comes in, and also at the engine block where the

556
00:27:46,119 --> 00:27:50,160
Speaker 1: negative cable comes into the ground. So yes, battery connections

557
00:27:50,200 --> 00:27:52,720
Speaker 1: and battery itself. You know, have I ever seen a

558
00:27:52,760 --> 00:27:55,520
Speaker 1: battery caused one of those cars to stall? I saw

559
00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:57,880
Speaker 1: those cars do a lot, I can't recall a battery

560
00:27:57,920 --> 00:28:00,280
Speaker 1: causing at the stall. I have seen an alternator caused

561
00:28:00,320 --> 00:28:04,159
Speaker 1: those cars to stall, and that's that's a slightly different conversation.

562
00:28:04,320 --> 00:28:06,879
Speaker 1: But you know, before I start reaching for the stars,

563
00:28:06,920 --> 00:28:10,959
Speaker 1: I'd rather just let's go with the basics. So yes, battery, cables, connection, cleanliness,

564
00:28:11,359 --> 00:28:14,240
Speaker 1: and then take a look at pass loock too. Great,

565
00:28:14,400 --> 00:28:16,880
Speaker 1: All right, okay, great, thanks a lot, You're very welcome.

566
00:28:16,880 --> 00:28:19,600
Speaker 1: Good luck to you. Jay. I'm sorry and uh not ed,

567
00:28:20,560 --> 00:28:23,720
Speaker 1: and uh, let us know what happens from there. Zero

568
00:28:23,840 --> 00:28:26,119
Speaker 1: nine nine zero zero, running eating the car Doctor, coming back.

569
00:28:26,160 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: I'm running late, don't go away. Welcome back the car Doctor.

570
00:28:35,800 --> 00:28:38,400
Speaker 1: Eight five five zero nine nine zero zero is the

571
00:28:38,400 --> 00:28:40,800
Speaker 1: phone number. Let's go and talk to Bill Woodbridge, New Jersey.

572
00:28:41,160 --> 00:28:44,280
Speaker 1: Some questions about it. One fifty Bill. Welcome to the

573
00:28:44,320 --> 00:28:47,520
Speaker 1: car Doctor, sir, how can I help? Good? What's going on?

574
00:28:48,080 --> 00:28:50,600
Speaker 1: The first question is, uh, we're doing some research and

575
00:28:50,720 --> 00:28:53,080
Speaker 1: we play some my air fill filter okay, And he

576
00:28:53,160 --> 00:28:58,520
Speaker 1: said that Kennon Chane and it's supposedly preferable and the

577
00:28:58,600 --> 00:29:01,680
Speaker 1: regular air fire you from me, Oh sure, absolutely, I've

578
00:29:01,720 --> 00:29:04,640
Speaker 1: got canns in the majority of family vehicles I'm trying

579
00:29:04,640 --> 00:29:05,880
Speaker 1: to think. I don't think I have a vehicle that

580
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:12,080
Speaker 1: doesn't have a cannon filter in it imperforms a little bit. Yeah,

581
00:29:12,160 --> 00:29:14,520
Speaker 1: what what it does is what what can and filters

582
00:29:14,680 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 1: do is they help um clean up the airflow in

583
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,280
Speaker 1: a sense. It's it's it's it's a better made filter.

584
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:24,040
Speaker 1: It's a more evenly made filter in the sense of

585
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,960
Speaker 1: air passing through it, so there's less turbulence, and it's

586
00:29:27,000 --> 00:29:30,200
Speaker 1: it's smoother airflow. Think of water in a stream bed

587
00:29:30,280 --> 00:29:33,520
Speaker 1: and how that reacts to pebbles and rocks, and it's

588
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:36,480
Speaker 1: less disruptions to flow, so it's smoother, it's more efficient,

589
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,600
Speaker 1: and uh, you know the other the other wind is

590
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:42,960
Speaker 1: that you'll no longer have an air filter to throw away.

591
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:46,000
Speaker 1: You'll be just cleaning it, you know, every how many

592
00:29:46,040 --> 00:29:48,120
Speaker 1: miles and reusing it for the life of the vehicle.

593
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:51,080
Speaker 1: Second questions, they said something about only it too. I

594
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,240
Speaker 1: don't know if it's prey oil when you buy original

595
00:29:53,280 --> 00:29:55,000
Speaker 1: one or the oil and have you clean it now

596
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:58,400
Speaker 1: when you when you buy the original one, it does

597
00:29:58,520 --> 00:30:02,080
Speaker 1: come pre oiled, all right, and then you know you'll

598
00:30:02,080 --> 00:30:03,960
Speaker 1: need a little They call it an air filter or

599
00:30:03,960 --> 00:30:06,520
Speaker 1: an air charger kit or a filter charger kit, and

600
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,520
Speaker 1: then you purchased one of those, and then you know,

601
00:30:08,640 --> 00:30:12,320
Speaker 1: typically again how much you drive every fifteen twenty thousand miles.

602
00:30:12,360 --> 00:30:15,040
Speaker 1: Sometimes we do them every thirty thousand miles. But it's

603
00:30:15,400 --> 00:30:18,360
Speaker 1: you do have the option of cleaning it whatever you want, Okay,

604
00:30:18,360 --> 00:30:22,040
Speaker 1: I could. And one other question. Sure, I have a

605
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:26,920
Speaker 1: two thout with the five point Forward Leader, and I

606
00:30:27,080 --> 00:30:31,440
Speaker 1: used Mobile one and I noticed that I after but

607
00:30:31,640 --> 00:30:34,880
Speaker 1: I guess about was down a quarter of oil. I

608
00:30:34,920 --> 00:30:38,400
Speaker 1: have about thirty four thousand miles in a vehicle, and

609
00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:40,160
Speaker 1: it just seemed like a lot to use. I don't

610
00:30:40,160 --> 00:30:42,280
Speaker 1: know if it's a common problem with the forge or

611
00:30:43,320 --> 00:30:45,880
Speaker 1: they accept it. I don't agree with it in the

612
00:30:45,960 --> 00:30:48,800
Speaker 1: sense that it's acceptable. But Ford says a chord every

613
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:52,840
Speaker 1: thousand miles. The majority of car companies today exception, Yeah,

614
00:30:52,880 --> 00:30:55,600
Speaker 1: the majority car companies are saying a court every thousand miles.

615
00:30:55,880 --> 00:30:59,160
Speaker 1: And the thing that gets me is, you know, okay,

616
00:30:59,240 --> 00:31:01,840
Speaker 1: so a quart of oil is cheap. Never mind the annoyance,

617
00:31:01,880 --> 00:31:03,480
Speaker 1: and you know it's their way of saying, hey, we

618
00:31:03,560 --> 00:31:06,320
Speaker 1: built a piece of junk and just accepted. But I

619
00:31:06,720 --> 00:31:10,560
Speaker 1: wonder what that does long term to oxygen sensor and

620
00:31:10,640 --> 00:31:13,520
Speaker 1: catalytic converters, because obviously the exhaust is passing out the

621
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:16,600
Speaker 1: tail pipe and it's leaving oil residuing the exhaust. It's

622
00:31:16,680 --> 00:31:19,239
Speaker 1: it's got to be. So you know, it's the car

623
00:31:19,320 --> 00:31:21,600
Speaker 1: gets a hundred forty miles and all of a sudden

624
00:31:21,640 --> 00:31:23,560
Speaker 1: it needs a catalytic converter. And you say to yourself,

625
00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:26,200
Speaker 1: is it just worn out or is it because it's

626
00:31:26,200 --> 00:31:28,560
Speaker 1: been burning a quarter of oil every thousand miles or

627
00:31:28,600 --> 00:31:30,520
Speaker 1: two thousand miles in your case, and is that shorten

628
00:31:30,560 --> 00:31:32,080
Speaker 1: the life of the cat And it sure has the

629
00:31:32,120 --> 00:31:35,560
Speaker 1: potential where it would do that because it is a vehicle.

630
00:31:36,080 --> 00:31:37,920
Speaker 1: I generally don't even bother to check them. You know,

631
00:31:38,200 --> 00:31:40,680
Speaker 1: it didn't seem like every usual oil and between all changes,

632
00:31:41,080 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 1: and I don't see it's smoking or you know it's

633
00:31:42,680 --> 00:31:45,560
Speaker 1: I'm noticeable. Well you won't you won't see. You won't

634
00:31:45,560 --> 00:31:48,840
Speaker 1: see any modern vehicle smoke really because the catalytic converters,

635
00:31:49,240 --> 00:31:51,160
Speaker 1: you know, swallowing all of it and it's trying to

636
00:31:51,800 --> 00:31:54,480
Speaker 1: it's it's it's oxidizing it down and you know it's

637
00:31:54,560 --> 00:31:58,720
Speaker 1: it's having its catalytic reaction. So but you know, yeah,

638
00:31:58,840 --> 00:32:02,920
Speaker 1: that's that's accepted. We welcome to the world of new cars. Okay, Hey,

00:32:32,160 --> 00:32:35,080
Speaker 1: over our last call the Hour Frank from Congress New York.

00:32:35,120 --> 00:32:37,200
Speaker 1: And I noticed I'm finishing out the Hour with Frank

Speaker 1: every week now, the last couple of weeks. But that's okay.

653
00:32:39,560 --> 00:32:41,720
Speaker 1: I like Frank. Frank, what's going on does make it

654
00:32:41,760 --> 00:32:43,200
Speaker 1: a bad thing? My man? How are we doing? Not

655
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:45,720
Speaker 1: at all? Yes, they're very good, very good. What's cooking? Okay,

656
00:32:45,800 --> 00:32:47,880
Speaker 1: let's just stare right to the subject. Two thousand and

657
00:32:47,920 --> 00:32:50,960
Speaker 1: one to Civic family. One of the family members had

658
00:32:51,080 --> 00:32:55,480
Speaker 1: the car gets a recall on the air bit brings

659
00:32:55,520 --> 00:33:00,200
Speaker 1: it in, They do the recall, everything's fine. Three us

660
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:02,520
Speaker 1: down the road, the main sense of board in the

661
00:33:02,600 --> 00:33:06,200
Speaker 1: car goes, brings it back over that finds out that

662
00:33:06,360 --> 00:33:08,680
Speaker 1: Honda is the only one that can do it. They're

663
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:11,840
Speaker 1: the only ones that have the software to turn around

664
00:33:12,040 --> 00:33:15,160
Speaker 1: and hand it Towns the family member. It's gonna cost

665
00:33:15,200 --> 00:33:17,200
Speaker 1: a thousand dollars to replace it and put it all

666
00:33:17,280 --> 00:33:20,240
Speaker 1: back together. And if you don't do it, it's it's

667
00:33:20,240 --> 00:33:22,840
Speaker 1: safety has it because it controls your air bag, it

668
00:33:22,880 --> 00:33:26,120
Speaker 1: controls your seatbelt and everything in the car if you

669
00:33:26,200 --> 00:33:29,080
Speaker 1: get in an accident. If you afford, you like that one.

670
00:33:29,240 --> 00:33:31,680
Speaker 1: So what you're saying is you don't like the fact

671
00:33:31,720 --> 00:33:36,000
Speaker 1: that the car manufacturers now have a proprietary hold over

672
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:38,920
Speaker 1: the majority of vehicles on the road today and they

673
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:42,760
Speaker 1: control the market. Is that what you're saying? Exactly? Exactly

674
00:33:43,120 --> 00:33:46,800
Speaker 1: exactly what had a local dealership. I looked up the

675
00:33:46,880 --> 00:33:49,680
Speaker 1: pot I know at the pot course it was half

676
00:33:49,760 --> 00:33:52,480
Speaker 1: that price. And of course when you go with dealership,

677
00:33:52,840 --> 00:33:58,880
Speaker 1: you pay any amount of money per put out mechanic. Okay, um, understandable, Okay, understandable,

678
00:33:59,320 --> 00:34:02,640
Speaker 1: But you are you're going to recall. And it's these

679
00:34:02,760 --> 00:34:06,520
Speaker 1: articles coming out in magazines and books saying that by

680
00:34:06,600 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: the doo and the recall, it's blowing the board. They're

681
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,840
Speaker 1: saying it's not and it's the customers responsibility. We have

682
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:16,359
Speaker 1: a customer. We have a customer at the shop now,

683
00:34:16,480 --> 00:34:17,840
Speaker 1: we have we have a customer at the shop of

684
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,640
Speaker 1: the two thousand two Civic that went through the air

685
00:34:20,680 --> 00:34:23,320
Speaker 1: big recall, and she's been back to Honda three times

686
00:34:23,560 --> 00:34:26,719
Speaker 1: because ever since, and I wonder what's going on here,

687
00:34:26,760 --> 00:34:29,799
Speaker 1: and that explains some of it that ever since now

688
00:34:29,880 --> 00:34:32,000
Speaker 1: she's they've been throwing seatbelts at the car, They've been

689
00:34:32,080 --> 00:34:35,960
Speaker 1: throwing modules at the car. There it seems like they've

690
00:34:35,960 --> 00:34:38,640
Speaker 1: got a problem that nobody wants to talk about. Um.

691
00:34:38,680 --> 00:34:41,440
Speaker 1: But yeah, valid points, Frank, Hey, listen, where do you

692
00:34:41,480 --> 00:34:43,400
Speaker 1: get to a twenty six team car and there's a

693
00:34:43,520 --> 00:34:46,680
Speaker 1: hundred and fourteen modules on board and dealers you're the

694
00:34:46,719 --> 00:34:48,200
Speaker 1: only ones that can handle it. And if we let

695
00:34:48,239 --> 00:34:50,600
Speaker 1: the industry get away from us like it slowly is,

696
00:34:51,360 --> 00:34:53,239
Speaker 1: that's going to be the future in a very short

697
00:34:53,320 --> 00:34:56,200
Speaker 1: period of time, four or five years from now. Yeah,

698
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:58,839
Speaker 1: dealers will be the only ones fixing cars. But Frank listen.

699
00:34:58,840 --> 00:35:00,600
Speaker 1: Don't worry about it because they're a jority of people

700
00:35:00,640 --> 00:35:02,400
Speaker 1: are only worried about what's on their cell phone, what

701
00:35:02,440 --> 00:35:05,120
Speaker 1: they're looking at, and not necessarily about the car. I'm

702
00:35:05,160 --> 00:35:07,200
Speaker 1: running any in the guard Doctor until the next time.

703
00:35:07,360 --> 00:35:10,080
Speaker 1: The mechanics aren't expensive. Their placeless see it
