Was isn't good tomorrow? 78 00:04:29,080 --> 00:04:33,159 Speaker 1: And it's a problem. Right, Oh exactly, I mean, Okay, 79 00:04:33,160 --> 00:04:38,520 Speaker 1: we're majority of our customers up here. The one town 80 00:04:38,680 --> 00:04:42,400 Speaker 1: we're well I'm next to, that's your only source for 81 00:04:42,480 --> 00:04:46,800 Speaker 1: products and goods. We have people come seventy five miles 82 00:04:47,520 --> 00:04:51,880 Speaker 1: to get parts, to get advice, to get repairs. So 83 00:04:52,000 --> 00:04:53,920 Speaker 1: if you're seventy five miles out, you've got to get 84 00:04:53,960 --> 00:04:56,320 Speaker 1: to the grocery. You gotta get to the hospital here. 85 00:04:57,360 --> 00:05:02,679 Speaker 1: You you depend on your vehicle starting. They're not taking 86 00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:05,440 Speaker 1: the chance they will spend the money, you know. Let 87 00:05:05,440 --> 00:05:07,359 Speaker 1: me ask you a question, Paul, So you were you 88 00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:11,560 Speaker 1: were a master teke at a Ford dealer. How many years? Uh? 89 00:05:11,560 --> 00:05:14,760 Speaker 1: Since two thousand and one? Okay? How many cars a 90 00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:19,479 Speaker 1: month does that dealership sell? You think, very small dealership? 91 00:05:19,600 --> 00:05:23,400 Speaker 1: If we did fifteen a month, so that was a 92 00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:28,120 Speaker 1: big deal. We don't very small dealership, you know. So 93 00:05:28,560 --> 00:05:31,039 Speaker 1: think of the burden. And I've always I've always wondered 94 00:05:31,040 --> 00:05:33,400 Speaker 1: this and pondered it. So think of the burden on 95 00:05:33,560 --> 00:05:37,360 Speaker 1: that dealership. They're selling fifteen cars a month, all right? 96 00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:39,360 Speaker 1: And how and how big was the shop? How many 97 00:05:39,400 --> 00:05:43,640 Speaker 1: texts were in the shop to three for four all right? 98 00:05:43,720 --> 00:05:46,680 Speaker 1: So it's a fifteen car a month four man's shop. 99 00:05:47,400 --> 00:05:49,919 Speaker 1: And you know you've still got to buy all the 100 00:05:49,960 --> 00:05:53,839 Speaker 1: diagnostic tools that Ford requires you to buy, right, correct? 101 00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:56,800 Speaker 1: How do you have? That was a heavy burden? I mean, 102 00:05:57,400 --> 00:06:00,360 Speaker 1: how do you make any money? We had the ES 103 00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:04,040 Speaker 1: update that was like, how do you make any money 104 00:06:04,080 --> 00:06:07,640 Speaker 1: doing that? Yeah? It doesn't it doesn't make sense. Yeah, 105 00:06:07,800 --> 00:06:11,920 Speaker 1: And I was trying to convince him, I said, basic diagnostics. 106 00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:15,480 Speaker 1: I mean here, get a flat fee you know for okay, 107 00:06:15,560 --> 00:06:17,480 Speaker 1: they just want to scan it for codes or something. 108 00:06:17,680 --> 00:06:23,480 Speaker 1: Make a flat fee, you know. And I'm originally from Chicago, 109 00:06:23,560 --> 00:06:25,440 Speaker 1: so I know this stuff, you know. And he he 110 00:06:25,560 --> 00:06:28,279 Speaker 1: had a hard time figuring this out. But anyhow, that's 111 00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:31,520 Speaker 1: the thing though, you know, our bigger business was in 112 00:06:31,640 --> 00:06:35,279 Speaker 1: the back, in the in the shop. That's that's where 113 00:06:35,320 --> 00:06:37,800 Speaker 1: all the money was coming. People were more likely to 114 00:06:37,839 --> 00:06:42,840 Speaker 1: fix something than buying new, yeah, exactly, and to at 115 00:06:42,880 --> 00:06:45,640 Speaker 1: certain times of the year too, you know, Okay, we 116 00:06:45,720 --> 00:06:50,120 Speaker 1: got tax time and the holidays and stuff. Another typical 117 00:06:50,200 --> 00:06:53,479 Speaker 1: thing up here is they don't fix it till it's broke, 118 00:06:53,720 --> 00:06:57,760 Speaker 1: you know. And and and that press another mentality you 119 00:06:57,800 --> 00:07:00,400 Speaker 1: have to deal with. But that too, and why block 120 00:07:00,440 --> 00:07:03,719 Speaker 1: heaters are super big up there, even battery heaters. We 121 00:07:03,760 --> 00:07:07,520 Speaker 1: have these little bad electric battery blankets and stuff like that. 122 00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:10,720 Speaker 1: Because we have people up here, considering the cold, I'm 123 00:07:10,760 --> 00:07:14,640 Speaker 1: surprised how many don't have even just a basic garage. 124 00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:19,320 Speaker 1: It's out, your car is outside. You know, how many 125 00:07:19,600 --> 00:07:22,640 Speaker 1: wind comes out of the Northwest, And and Ben, you've 126 00:07:22,720 --> 00:07:26,200 Speaker 1: got it, uh you know, do you do you think 127 00:07:27,040 --> 00:07:29,800 Speaker 1: um that people are getting smarter up there that they're 128 00:07:29,840 --> 00:07:31,760 Speaker 1: trying to be more prepared, like or is it? Is 129 00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:34,520 Speaker 1: it clearly a dividing line. There's there's those that get 130 00:07:34,520 --> 00:07:36,200 Speaker 1: it and those that don't, and then the ones that 131 00:07:36,240 --> 00:07:39,480 Speaker 1: don't are the ones that are stuck. Yeah, pretty much 132 00:07:39,520 --> 00:07:42,040 Speaker 1: that And it's interesting the ones that do. It's like 133 00:07:42,480 --> 00:07:44,560 Speaker 1: three years. I want new batteries. I don't care they 134 00:07:44,560 --> 00:07:48,080 Speaker 1: test good, I don't care. They want synthetic oil, they 135 00:07:48,120 --> 00:07:51,280 Speaker 1: want every advantage is give me a battery heater, give 136 00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:53,800 Speaker 1: me a block is a block heater work? And can 137 00:07:53,840 --> 00:07:55,640 Speaker 1: you test my block heater? Shore? You know, all this 138 00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:58,120 Speaker 1: that and the other thing, and they're you know, even 139 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:01,320 Speaker 1: in November, they're like up on it. But then you've 140 00:08:01,320 --> 00:08:04,160 Speaker 1: got the other thirty percent that are like they're waiting 141 00:08:04,200 --> 00:08:06,560 Speaker 1: for it to break. And then it's like, oh help me, 142 00:08:06,680 --> 00:08:08,920 Speaker 1: oh help me.

We had a lot of serious fuel quality 154 00:08:44,559 --> 00:08:49,199 Speaker 1: issues up here. That's gone, thank god.

While 170 00:09:31,520 --> 00:09:33,920 Speaker 1: I consider youngsters, they're in their twenties and the early thirties, 171 00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:36,679 Speaker 1: and they're all you know, it's you can see it's 172 00:09:36,720 --> 00:09:39,839 Speaker 1: getting pounded into their head. They're all excited, like you know, 173 00:09:39,840 --> 00:09:41,320 Speaker 1: they're gonna go on, let's make a deal and win 174 00:09:41,400 --> 00:09:42,880 Speaker 1: a car, and they're gonna go on the prices right 175 00:09:42,880 --> 00:09:45,280 Speaker 1: and win a trip to Hawaii. It's not about working 176 00:09:45,320 --> 00:09:46,840 Speaker 1: for a living. It's about what can they get for 177 00:09:46,920 --> 00:09:48,559 Speaker 1: free by being on a game show. That's all we 178 00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:51,800 Speaker 1: were talking about. And it made me stop to think 179 00:09:51,800 --> 00:09:54,200 Speaker 1: how I compare that to automobiles and the illusion of 180 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:57,280 Speaker 1: it all that we're you know, some of this is 181 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:04,319 Speaker 1: people don't realize that danger of being unprepared until you're unprepared, 182 00:10:05,120 --> 00:10:08,960 Speaker 1: all right and right, and when it's too late, or 183 00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:10,880 Speaker 1: when it's almost too late. You know, we just had 184 00:10:10,920 --> 00:10:15,320 Speaker 1: Pearl Harbor Day, right they have informy December seven. How 185 00:10:15,400 --> 00:10:17,040 Speaker 1: much of that did we talk about in the news, 186 00:10:17,440 --> 00:10:19,960 Speaker 1: Not to get political, but you know what we didn't 187 00:10:20,000 --> 00:10:22,800 Speaker 1: talk about that. I didn't hear anybody really discussing it. It 188 00:10:22,679 --> 00:10:25,040 Speaker 1: It was the seventy seventh anniversary of Pearl Harbor and 189 00:10:25,040 --> 00:10:27,800 Speaker 1: it really didn't come up. And you know, that's like 190 00:10:27,800 --> 00:10:30,320 Speaker 1: a classic example of not being prepared. And we could 191 00:10:30,320 --> 00:10:31,760 Speaker 1: have the argument about the who and the wine. That's 192 00:10:31,800 --> 00:10:34,240 Speaker 1: not what I'm trying to say. It all comes back 193 00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:36,760 Speaker 1: to cars, too, because if you're not prepared for your car, 194 00:10:36,800 --> 00:10:38,520 Speaker 1: if you're not prepared for the other guy to punch 195 00:10:38,559 --> 00:10:40,200 Speaker 1: you in the nose, if you're not ready for it 196 00:10:40,200 --> 00:10:43,880 Speaker 1: when it happens, it's an issue. And I'm not saying 197 00:10:43,920 --> 00:10:46,320 Speaker 1: to live chicken a little under your bed somewhere quivering, 198 00:10:46,360 --> 00:10:48,600 Speaker 1: but you've got to be ready for the problem before 199 00:10:48,640 --> 00:10:51,280 Speaker 1: it becomes a problem. We had a we had an 200 00:10:51,280 --> 00:10:53,240 Speaker 1: outage here in Jersey a couple of years back. We 201 00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:56,520 Speaker 1: had a snowstorm and and and electrical went down and 202 00:10:56,559 --> 00:11:00,200 Speaker 1: everything went down. And I've told this story, but you know, 203 00:11:00,360 --> 00:11:02,720 Speaker 1: I showed up at the hardware store to buy firewood 204 00:11:02,760 --> 00:11:05,280 Speaker 1: with cash. People couldn't get cash out of the A 205 00:11:05,360 --> 00:11:08,319 Speaker 1: t M. People couldn't get gas, people couldn't get and 206 00:11:08,360 --> 00:11:10,480 Speaker 1: they're trying to use their credit cards to buy firewood, 207 00:11:10,480 --> 00:11:12,320 Speaker 1: and they don't understand where the credit card terminal is 208 00:11:12,360 --> 00:11:15,000 Speaker 1: down because there's no electricity, which is why they're there 209 00:11:15,040 --> 00:11:16,760 Speaker 1: in the first place. To buy firewood for heat because 210 00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:20,080 Speaker 1: the heaters won't work. You know, it's it's listen. We 211 00:11:20,080 --> 00:11:22,000 Speaker 1: could go on and on and on, Paul. It's always 212 00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,720 Speaker 1: a pleasure to talk to you, sir, it really is. Um. 213 00:11:25,200 --> 00:11:27,480 Speaker 1: I hope you enjoy retirement, and I hope you stay 214 00:11:27,480 --> 00:11:30,040 Speaker 1: in touch with us, and uh, keep keep listening and 215 00:11:30,120 --> 00:11:35,160 Speaker 1: keep calling and a deal for for sure deal. He 216 00:11:35,240 --> 00:11:37,040 Speaker 1: had an issue a couple of weeks ago. We won't 217 00:11:37,080 --> 00:11:39,200 Speaker 1: go into now because I know you're pressed on a 218 00:11:39,240 --> 00:11:41,839 Speaker 1: four leader forwards and I got them down. But I 219 00:11:42,200 --> 00:11:46,360 Speaker 1: had the answer for that guy's issue. But anyway, next time, yeah, 220 00:11:46,600 --> 00:11:48,839 Speaker 1: it'll keep in touch next time around. Brother, you take 221 00:11:48,840 --> 00:11:51,360 Speaker 1: good care and then enjoy the winter. Don't be called, 222 00:11:51,440 --> 00:11:53,440 Speaker 1: all right, take good care. I'm r anading. The car 223 00:11:53,480 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 1: Doctor will be back right after this. Want you when 224 00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:11,760 Speaker 1: you get keep runs number hand the eight five five 225 00:12:11,960 --> 00:12:15,280 Speaker 1: five zero nine zero zero for when you really need 226 00:12:15,320 --> 00:12:18,560 Speaker 1: advice on your car. Here's rocking. Hey, let's get it 227 00:12:18,600 --> 00:12:20,679 Speaker 1: over and talk to Robert and main Robert. Welcome to 228 00:12:20,720 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: the car Doctor, sir. How can I help? How are 229 00:12:22,880 --> 00:12:26,560 Speaker 1: you doing? Man? Good man? Um, I've got to shove 230 00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:32,439 Speaker 1: them power. Uh oh seven all right, there's two things 231 00:12:32,480 --> 00:12:34,400 Speaker 1: happening with this car, and I don't know if one 232 00:12:34,440 --> 00:12:37,240 Speaker 1: of them can affects the other or not. It don't 233 00:12:37,280 --> 00:12:39,840 Speaker 1: seem as though to me. But when you fill this 234 00:12:39,920 --> 00:12:42,280 Speaker 1: thing up with gas and you go to start it, 235 00:12:42,360 --> 00:12:44,680 Speaker 1: you know how when you turn the ignition on, it 236 00:12:44,760 --> 00:12:47,400 Speaker 1: stays engaged until the car starts automatically, even if you 237 00:12:47,440 --> 00:12:51,480 Speaker 1: let go of key. Um. When you fill this thing 238 00:12:51,559 --> 00:12:53,839 Speaker 1: up with gas and you go to start it, the 239 00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,280 Speaker 1: starter stays engaged, like and it whirls over world's over, 240 00:12:57,320 --> 00:13:00,559 Speaker 1: world's over, world's over before it'll start. It'll does that 241 00:13:01,840 --> 00:13:03,560 Speaker 1: when you fill it up with gas. After you run 242 00:13:03,559 --> 00:13:05,040 Speaker 1: it for a while, it don't do it. Maybe the 243 00:13:05,080 --> 00:13:07,440 Speaker 1: next time that the gas hasn't going down a little, 244 00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:10,200 Speaker 1: it'll do it again, but usually not only when you 245 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:13,360 Speaker 1: first fill it up. Now, the other thing what I 246 00:13:13,400 --> 00:13:14,839 Speaker 1: called you about, and I don't know if I want 247 00:13:14,840 --> 00:13:16,679 Speaker 1: to text together. That's why I was telling you felt bad. 248 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:21,440 Speaker 1: But what what the issue is the transmission the tack 249 00:13:22,040 --> 00:13:23,719 Speaker 1: when you go when you gon't take off. When it 250 00:13:23,720 --> 00:13:26,360 Speaker 1: started up and you take off, it was working just fine, 251 00:13:26,920 --> 00:13:28,559 Speaker 1: be driving down the road, and like when you get 252 00:13:28,559 --> 00:13:30,120 Speaker 1: on the highway to start to give it some gas, 253 00:13:30,920 --> 00:13:33,200 Speaker 1: the tack will bob up and down and it'll drop 254 00:13:33,240 --> 00:13:36,040 Speaker 1: down to zero, and the car kind of spits and 255 00:13:36,080 --> 00:13:38,120 Speaker 1: sputters a little bit. You don't like if you're stepping 256 00:13:38,120 --> 00:13:39,319 Speaker 1: them on the gas and it's like you're sticking me, 257 00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,880 Speaker 1: putting the carburetor or whatever, like a flat yeah, and 258 00:13:43,960 --> 00:13:45,760 Speaker 1: you you go to give it the gas, and it 259 00:13:45,800 --> 00:13:47,520 Speaker 1: it'll jerk and ship me and not and it'll come 260 00:13:47,559 --> 00:13:50,560 Speaker 1: out of it and then it'll take off and it runs. 261 00:13:50,600 --> 00:13:54,280 Speaker 1: But it don't have like the power that it's supposed 262 00:13:54,320 --> 00:13:55,880 Speaker 1: to have when you step on the gas, you know 263 00:13:55,920 --> 00:13:59,520 Speaker 1: what I mean, until you until you saw off again, 264 00:13:59,800 --> 00:14:03,400 Speaker 1: you know. But if I stopped the store and I 265 00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:05,320 Speaker 1: come out and I get in the car and started up, 266 00:14:05,800 --> 00:14:07,640 Speaker 1: the attack goes up. Words belong, and the thing will 267 00:14:07,679 --> 00:14:10,000 Speaker 1: drive normal for the rest of the day. It seems 268 00:14:10,040 --> 00:14:12,719 Speaker 1: like it only happens when you first take off with it. 269 00:14:13,280 --> 00:14:15,760 Speaker 1: And I also believe I can't be sure, but I 270 00:14:15,840 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: believe that it's a chevallet issue because the garage that 271 00:14:19,680 --> 00:14:21,440 Speaker 1: I took it to, the guy says he's got a 272 00:14:21,960 --> 00:14:24,680 Speaker 1: coal bolt that's doing the exact same thing, and he 273 00:14:24,720 --> 00:14:30,880 Speaker 1: can't figure that out. Okay, so you know, diagnosing is 274 00:14:30,920 --> 00:14:36,320 Speaker 1: black magic sometimes, all right, it's it's it's understanding sometimes 275 00:14:36,400 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: what's good so that you can narrow down what's bad. 276 00:14:40,800 --> 00:14:42,960 Speaker 1: And I'm gonna ask this, and I'm I'm guessing the 277 00:14:42,960 --> 00:14:44,920 Speaker 1: answer is gonna be no. But there's no check engine 278 00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:49,400 Speaker 1: light on correct? Yeah, there is, there is, Okay, and 279 00:14:49,440 --> 00:14:53,360 Speaker 1: we've got what fault code. Um. He said that it 280 00:14:53,480 --> 00:14:57,520 Speaker 1: was read up that he changed a couple of sensors 281 00:14:57,520 --> 00:14:59,960 Speaker 1: in there. I can't remember exactly what they were, crank poss. 282 00:15:00,000 --> 00:15:05,520 Speaker 1: I know he didn't change that one. And I asked 283 00:15:05,640 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: him about that and he said he didn't. P zero 284 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:16,080 Speaker 1: zero threety six. I'm not sure, um, or remember him 285 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,840 Speaker 1: saying that that came up? Okay, all right, Um, well, 286 00:15:20,840 --> 00:15:24,160 Speaker 1: if that came up. Crank sensors are real common on these, 287 00:15:24,760 --> 00:15:28,160 Speaker 1: all right, UM. And sometimes it's not the sensor. What 288 00:15:28,240 --> 00:15:32,520 Speaker 1: happens is the mounting surface on the engine block gets 289 00:15:32,560 --> 00:15:36,680 Speaker 1: corroded and it it will actually rust under the sensor 290 00:15:36,800 --> 00:15:40,200 Speaker 1: and lift the sensor away from its trigger wheel, so 291 00:15:40,480 --> 00:15:45,280 Speaker 1: it produces a poor signal. So you know, sometimes it's 292 00:15:45,280 --> 00:15:47,520 Speaker 1: a matter of pulling the sensor out. You know, the 293 00:15:47,560 --> 00:15:50,520 Speaker 1: guys will will will change the sensor and not look 294 00:15:50,600 --> 00:15:53,480 Speaker 1: at the mounting support or the mounting pad that it 295 00:15:53,520 --> 00:15:55,640 Speaker 1: sits on, and they'll put a new sensor and that 296 00:15:55,640 --> 00:15:57,200 Speaker 1: doesn't fix it. Okay, that's not it. Let's go on 297 00:15:57,200 --> 00:16:00,080 Speaker 1: with the next thing. But they don't understand why I 298 00:16:00,200 --> 00:16:04,600 Speaker 1: the code sets P zero three thirty six has to 299 00:16:04,640 --> 00:16:09,280 Speaker 1: do with crank center performance. Um, what do you do 300 00:16:09,320 --> 00:16:11,720 Speaker 1: for what do you do for a living, Robert? I'm 301 00:16:11,720 --> 00:16:16,120 Speaker 1: a caregiver? Okay, Um, you have electrical test equipment in 302 00:16:16,120 --> 00:16:20,080 Speaker 1: that caregiving operation. Yeah, okay, So everything's got to have 303 00:16:20,120 --> 00:16:23,240 Speaker 1: an accurate signal and and and it's it's it's it's 304 00:16:23,240 --> 00:16:25,480 Speaker 1: got to feed so much oxygen per minute and that 305 00:16:25,560 --> 00:16:27,440 Speaker 1: kind of thing. Right, It's it's it's just got to 306 00:16:27,480 --> 00:16:30,320 Speaker 1: be dead nuts on is no other way to say it, right, 307 00:16:30,560 --> 00:16:33,280 Speaker 1: it's it's got to be accurate stuff. Same thing with 308 00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:36,640 Speaker 1: the car. So you know, let's attack and fix what 309 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:39,200 Speaker 1: we know is bad. All right, Let's solve the check 310 00:16:39,240 --> 00:16:42,200 Speaker 1: engine light first, because what you just described to be 311 00:16:42,240 --> 00:16:45,080 Speaker 1: about the tack, the misfire, losing power on the road 312 00:16:45,560 --> 00:16:49,760 Speaker 1: and so forth, that's that's got crank center performance written 313 00:16:49,800 --> 00:16:53,520 Speaker 1: all over it. All right, So the question I've got 314 00:16:53,520 --> 00:16:55,280 Speaker 1: to You've got to go back and ask your mechanic 315 00:16:55,400 --> 00:16:57,560 Speaker 1: is does he have a lab scope? You know what 316 00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:01,640 Speaker 1: a lab scope is? Okay? Uh? You know the voltmeter is, 317 00:17:02,680 --> 00:17:05,080 Speaker 1: all right, a voultmeter. You hook up a voltmeter. You 318 00:17:05,080 --> 00:17:09,080 Speaker 1: know what a digital voltmeter is, all right? So you know, 319 00:17:09,080 --> 00:17:12,000 Speaker 1: you hook up a digital voltmeter. It displays the voltage 320 00:17:12,040 --> 00:17:14,840 Speaker 1: reading in a in a digital number. And it's a number. 321 00:17:14,840 --> 00:17:19,520 Speaker 1: I'll say twelve point five, fourteen point two. It's a display. Right. 322 00:17:19,760 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 1: A lab scope takes that voltage and spreads it out 323 00:17:23,640 --> 00:17:26,280 Speaker 1: over time and puts it on a television screen. So 324 00:17:26,400 --> 00:17:28,879 Speaker 1: you can watch the voltage rise, you can watch the 325 00:17:28,960 --> 00:17:33,320 Speaker 1: voltage fall, you can watch the actual voltage signal. All right. 326 00:17:34,320 --> 00:17:36,760 Speaker 1: So what a lab scope will show is it will 327 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:39,760 Speaker 1: show the size of the voltage rise. It will show 328 00:17:39,800 --> 00:17:41,960 Speaker 1: the size of the vaulted shrink or what we call 329 00:17:42,040 --> 00:17:45,480 Speaker 1: amplitude size of the signal. Alright, big college, where you get? 330 00:17:45,520 --> 00:17:47,640 Speaker 1: You get a nickel every time you say that? All right, 331 00:17:48,040 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: But but but the idea becomes that you can actually 332 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:54,560 Speaker 1: watch the performance of the sensor and whether it's good, bad, 333 00:17:54,640 --> 00:17:59,240 Speaker 1: or in different Okay, um, uh, so just be mindful 334 00:17:59,280 --> 00:18:02,199 Speaker 1: of that he's got a lab scope. Let's go and 335 00:18:02,359 --> 00:18:04,800 Speaker 1: let's hook up to that sensor and let's go for 336 00:18:04,840 --> 00:18:08,320 Speaker 1: a ride. Let's let's record what's there. Let's go and 337 00:18:08,359 --> 00:18:11,120 Speaker 1: compare that. My gosh, there's so many resources out there 338 00:18:11,480 --> 00:18:15,240 Speaker 1: for for waveforms and scope signals. Uh, depending upon what 339 00:18:15,359 --> 00:18:17,240 Speaker 1: tool he's got. If it's a snap on, it's built 340 00:18:17,320 --> 00:18:20,160 Speaker 1: right into the tool. Let's compare that. But let's also 341 00:18:20,200 --> 00:18:22,800 Speaker 1: look at the mounting surface of the sensor and let's 342 00:18:22,800 --> 00:18:25,800 Speaker 1: see what that does for us. After that, call me 343 00:18:25,840 --> 00:18:27,480 Speaker 1: back and we can talk. Because I got a long 344 00:18:27,480 --> 00:18:29,400 Speaker 1: list of what could be wrong with that car. Let's 345 00:18:29,440 --> 00:18:31,440 Speaker 1: go for the obvious first. Let's fix the P zero 346 00:18:31,560 --> 00:18:34,040 Speaker 1: three thirty six before we look further down the road. 347 00:18:34,119 --> 00:18:35,920 Speaker 1: I'm on any in the Car Doctor. I'll be back 348 00:18:36,040 --> 00:18:58,600 Speaker 1: right after this. Hey, welcome back on any of the 349 00:18:58,640 --> 00:19:02,679 Speaker 1: car Doctor here at six zero zero zero, the Car 350 00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,280 Speaker 1: Doctor seven phone number. I wrote myself a note here midweek. 351 00:19:06,320 --> 00:19:07,879 Speaker 1: You know, I come into the studio midweek and I 352 00:19:07,880 --> 00:19:11,040 Speaker 1: write myself notes. I wonder what I was thinking about here, 353 00:19:11,160 --> 00:19:13,520 Speaker 1: the illusion of auto repair. Here's what I wrote. This 354 00:19:13,560 --> 00:19:16,600 Speaker 1: was probably Wednesday. It's dated Wednesday. Illusion of auto repair. 355 00:19:16,680 --> 00:19:19,000 Speaker 1: Talk about what makes us comfortable to spend money on 356 00:19:19,040 --> 00:19:22,120 Speaker 1: a car? M I gotta think about that for a minute. 357 00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:23,960 Speaker 1: Let's yes, Mr y, I don't know. But if you're 358 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:27,400 Speaker 1: writing notes like that, you need to know that stuff 359 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:30,639 Speaker 1: is not really legal in New Jersey. Yet what writing notes? 360 00:19:30,800 --> 00:19:34,080 Speaker 1: No whatever get you to write the note? Uh? What? Well? 361 00:19:34,640 --> 00:19:36,280 Speaker 1: But you know what is what? What is it? And 362 00:19:36,320 --> 00:19:40,040 Speaker 1: I think what I was thinking about is, you know, 363 00:19:40,320 --> 00:19:44,040 Speaker 1: human beings are funny, right, it's it's we're not perfect. 364 00:19:44,080 --> 00:19:46,479 Speaker 1: We're you know, not even me, alright, believe it or not. 365 00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:49,640 Speaker 1: I think I just heard the earth spin off for yourself. Um, well, okay, 366 00:19:49,640 --> 00:19:53,000 Speaker 1: you want admit that I'm perfect? Ahead, tom So, you know, 367 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:56,320 Speaker 1: but there is an illusion of auto repair. There's a 368 00:19:56,400 --> 00:20:02,439 Speaker 1: mindset that that people with will they won't spend fifty 369 00:20:02,480 --> 00:20:05,399 Speaker 1: dollars to fix fift is probably not a right number. 370 00:20:05,400 --> 00:20:08,240 Speaker 1: They won't put five into a car that's a good 371 00:20:08,320 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 1: running vehicle, that's you know, worth three grand, but they'll 372 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,080 Speaker 1: go out and spend forty on a replacement. And and 373 00:20:14,160 --> 00:20:16,240 Speaker 1: that's the illusion of it. And it makes no sense 374 00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:19,840 Speaker 1: to me. You know, there's no free lunch, all right, 375 00:20:20,600 --> 00:20:24,320 Speaker 1: And we'll sit there and look at it. And say, 376 00:20:24,320 --> 00:20:26,359 Speaker 1: oh my gosh, this was a bad year. I had 377 00:20:26,400 --> 00:20:28,800 Speaker 1: to put I had to put a transmission in the car. 378 00:20:28,880 --> 00:20:30,240 Speaker 1: I had to put brakes on the car. I had 379 00:20:30,280 --> 00:20:31,920 Speaker 1: to put tires on the car. Its eight years old. 380 00:20:31,920 --> 00:20:34,240 Speaker 1: It's an old car. I should replace it. But if 381 00:20:34,240 --> 00:20:37,360 Speaker 1: they look previously, they haven't done anything to the car. 382 00:20:37,440 --> 00:20:39,480 Speaker 1: But oil changes twice a year and a couple of 383 00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:42,000 Speaker 1: tire rotations, and all of a sudden, you know, So 384 00:20:42,080 --> 00:20:46,240 Speaker 1: it's like, you know, you're married, You're married twelve years, 385 00:20:46,960 --> 00:20:49,560 Speaker 1: all of a sudden, your partner has a problem. Maybe 386 00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:52,240 Speaker 1: it's you know, maybe it's maybe it's something bad. Maybe 387 00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:55,600 Speaker 1: it's alcohol, maybe it's narcotics. Maybe it's they've got a vice. 388 00:20:55,640 --> 00:20:56,960 Speaker 1: Maybe there maybe they like to work out in the 389 00:20:57,000 --> 00:20:59,320 Speaker 1: garage on their hot rod at night or something. Right 390 00:20:59,800 --> 00:21:02,399 Speaker 1: the at mean we're going to replace them? Um or 391 00:21:02,400 --> 00:21:04,479 Speaker 1: are we gonna figure it out? You don't solve the problem. 392 00:21:04,520 --> 00:21:08,480 Speaker 1: And the same things about the car nowadays, Well, because 393 00:21:08,520 --> 00:21:10,119 Speaker 1: we always we tend to take the easy way out. 394 00:21:10,119 --> 00:21:12,240 Speaker 1: And I think that's what I was talking about. But 395 00:21:12,480 --> 00:21:15,679 Speaker 1: what I notice is, I think a lot of what 396 00:21:15,760 --> 00:21:18,280 Speaker 1: makes people spend money on a car is how comfortable 397 00:21:18,280 --> 00:21:22,240 Speaker 1: they are with the mechanic. They want that. I think 398 00:21:22,320 --> 00:21:24,919 Speaker 1: some people who some people want to be a number, 399 00:21:25,000 --> 00:21:27,440 Speaker 1: like you're at the deli at Bohak al right, you're 400 00:21:27,480 --> 00:21:30,480 Speaker 1: on the meat counter just processing things, and some people 401 00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:33,560 Speaker 1: want that high Mrs Smith, Hi, Mr Smith, you know, 402 00:21:33,640 --> 00:21:36,240 Speaker 1: are we gonna do the heater core on your Lincoln today? 403 00:21:36,280 --> 00:21:38,800 Speaker 1: Because we've been talking about it for three weeks. They 404 00:21:38,920 --> 00:21:41,399 Speaker 1: want that one on one connection. I do. That's what 405 00:21:41,480 --> 00:21:43,879 Speaker 1: makes me comfortable. Um, And I think that's what I 406 00:21:43,920 --> 00:21:45,200 Speaker 1: was trying to say in my not because it was 407 00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:46,399 Speaker 1: just And I'm gonna put that up there for a 408 00:21:46,440 --> 00:21:48,159 Speaker 1: little while and see if we come back to that, 409 00:21:48,200 --> 00:21:49,959 Speaker 1: because maybe that's something I gotta. But that's what I'm 410 00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:51,800 Speaker 1: starting to do. I'm start and write notes with all 411 00:21:51,840 --> 00:21:53,600 Speaker 1: these great ideas during the weekend. Then I forget them 412 00:21:53,640 --> 00:21:55,320 Speaker 1: by the time Saturday rolls around. You know, if you're 413 00:21:55,400 --> 00:21:57,080 Speaker 1: right enough and put them on the window here, I 414 00:21:57,080 --> 00:21:58,960 Speaker 1: don't have to look at you. Well that's true. You 415 00:21:59,040 --> 00:22:00,720 Speaker 1: know you can turn around and look at me either. 416 00:22:01,040 --> 00:22:02,720 Speaker 1: But sides, the back of your head has more hair. 417 00:22:02,960 --> 00:22:05,879 Speaker 1: Let's get over and talk to Tom online to North Carolina. 418 00:22:06,200 --> 00:22:08,960 Speaker 1: Oh three Mitsubishi and what's going on here, Tom, how 419 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,560 Speaker 1: canna help you? Hey, yes, sir, I enjoy your show. 420 00:22:11,720 --> 00:22:15,520 Speaker 1: Thank you, you're a good man. Three and the heat 421 00:22:15,600 --> 00:22:18,640 Speaker 1: or corps started leaking on me, a smelling and freeze, 422 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:21,639 Speaker 1: and I was just wondering. I had a couple of 423 00:22:21,640 --> 00:22:25,320 Speaker 1: prices quoted on it, and then around a thousand dollars, 424 00:22:25,320 --> 00:22:26,919 Speaker 1: and I don't know whether I want to spend that 425 00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:30,840 Speaker 1: kind of money on a perfect example. Here we go, Okay, 426 00:22:30,920 --> 00:22:34,439 Speaker 1: how many miles on the car? Tom? Ninety thousand miles? 427 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,360 Speaker 1: And we bought it new. It's been a wonderful car. 428 00:22:37,480 --> 00:22:40,920 Speaker 1: We've really enjoyed it until this happened, right, And and 429 00:22:41,080 --> 00:22:44,200 Speaker 1: you know, here's here's the question. Okay, would you if 430 00:22:44,240 --> 00:22:47,480 Speaker 1: you put a heater record for a thousand bucks and 431 00:22:47,800 --> 00:22:50,040 Speaker 1: you know, six months from now the transmission fail? Did 432 00:22:50,080 --> 00:22:52,840 Speaker 1: you put it trans in it? Well? There you go. 433 00:22:53,280 --> 00:22:56,919 Speaker 1: You know, uh, I feel the same way if I 434 00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,280 Speaker 1: have to spend a thousand on a heater core, then 435 00:23:00,040 --> 00:23:04,240 Speaker 1: down the road something else goes bad. So I don't 436 00:23:04,240 --> 00:23:06,520 Speaker 1: know what. So then let's let's turn around and look 437 00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,840 Speaker 1: at it from the other perspective. Okay, um, what are 438 00:23:09,840 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 1: you gonna replace it with? Well, I was goodbyed thinking 439 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:17,159 Speaker 1: about buying a new uh Hondai Sonata. I've been looking 440 00:23:17,160 --> 00:23:19,400 Speaker 1: at them. They've been giving me a good price on one. 441 00:23:19,440 --> 00:23:22,399 Speaker 1: I don't know what you think of that, but so 442 00:23:22,880 --> 00:23:25,720 Speaker 1: is it. Is it not to fix the Mitsubishi just 443 00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,040 Speaker 1: because it's old, or it's because Tom wants a new 444 00:23:29,080 --> 00:23:33,280 Speaker 1: car or a combination? Well, a little both. I think 445 00:23:33,359 --> 00:23:36,600 Speaker 1: I thinks a little both. We liked what our son lives. 446 00:23:37,080 --> 00:23:40,200 Speaker 1: We actually live in Virginia. We're down here visiness my son. 447 00:23:40,760 --> 00:23:43,480 Speaker 1: Actually we're keeping kids to the two boys for him 448 00:23:43,480 --> 00:23:47,920 Speaker 1: while they're gone. But we live in Shenando Valley of Virginia. 449 00:23:47,960 --> 00:23:53,120 Speaker 1: If you're familiar with that, are yeah w V as well. 450 00:23:53,160 --> 00:23:55,879 Speaker 1: I'll catch you on w S D A uh every 451 00:23:55,920 --> 00:24:03,760 Speaker 1: Sunday morning nine until twelve. Got you, yeah, um, thank 452 00:24:03,800 --> 00:24:06,000 Speaker 1: you sir. You know, the argument Tom could be made 453 00:24:06,080 --> 00:24:08,159 Speaker 1: that you know, the older car, and I didn't include 454 00:24:08,160 --> 00:24:10,480 Speaker 1: that in my my comments before, But the older car 455 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:14,040 Speaker 1: presents a challenge if you're traveling. The older car presents 456 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:18,399 Speaker 1: issues with parts availability and all. That's part of the 457 00:24:18,400 --> 00:24:22,720 Speaker 1: conversation too. So here's that classic example. Is this car 458 00:24:22,800 --> 00:24:27,280 Speaker 1: worth fixing? Well? You know the problem here is it's 459 00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:32,200 Speaker 1: fifteen years old, all right, and it's it's Mitsubishi. It's 460 00:24:32,200 --> 00:24:34,560 Speaker 1: not a Ford, it's not a GM, it's not it's 461 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,199 Speaker 1: it's not a Toyota Rojanda where I think, you know, 462 00:24:37,280 --> 00:24:41,440 Speaker 1: parts availability has got better accessibility. I would say it's great, 463 00:24:41,440 --> 00:24:45,200 Speaker 1: but it's better. What would I do, um to put 464 00:24:45,200 --> 00:24:47,679 Speaker 1: a heater or core in this The interior has to 465 00:24:47,720 --> 00:24:50,440 Speaker 1: just about come out, the dashboard comes out, the the 466 00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:52,639 Speaker 1: A C refrigerants gotta be you know, the A C 467 00:24:52,760 --> 00:24:56,320 Speaker 1: system gotta be disconnected. This is this is open heart surgery, 468 00:24:56,840 --> 00:25:01,080 Speaker 1: all right, exactly exactly, that's what I'm yeah ring right 469 00:25:01,080 --> 00:25:03,680 Speaker 1: now that it's so, let me ask let me ask 470 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:06,000 Speaker 1: this question. Who's your regular mechanic? Do you have a 471 00:25:06,040 --> 00:25:09,280 Speaker 1: regular mechanic for this car? Well, not really know. I 472 00:25:09,359 --> 00:25:11,439 Speaker 1: usually take it to the Missy dealer and you know 473 00:25:11,520 --> 00:25:15,760 Speaker 1: they change the oil for me. Uh, they do the 474 00:25:15,800 --> 00:25:19,399 Speaker 1: most of the service work. Um. Are they the ones 475 00:25:19,480 --> 00:25:22,639 Speaker 1: that quoted you a thousand bucks? They quoted me but 476 00:25:22,760 --> 00:25:25,680 Speaker 1: more than that? Yeah, I'm sure if I was the guest, 477 00:25:25,720 --> 00:25:28,160 Speaker 1: they probably quoted you between twelve and fifteen hundred dollar 478 00:25:28,800 --> 00:25:35,200 Speaker 1: close to okay, Um, I'll tell you what I would 479 00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:38,040 Speaker 1: do if if I really like the car, all right, 480 00:25:38,480 --> 00:25:40,080 Speaker 1: if I really like the car and I want to 481 00:25:40,119 --> 00:25:43,320 Speaker 1: and I want to keep the car, um, I'd probably 482 00:25:43,320 --> 00:25:46,719 Speaker 1: consider replacing it. They've got a good track record, they 483 00:25:46,800 --> 00:25:50,600 Speaker 1: run a long time, all right. At this point is 484 00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,680 Speaker 1: fifteen dollars the most you've spent on the car in 485 00:25:52,720 --> 00:25:56,040 Speaker 1: a while, short of breaks and tires and service. That's 486 00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,040 Speaker 1: about well. I had a heater or heat uh, water 487 00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:03,639 Speaker 1: pump um, all the belts and hoses replaced here about 488 00:26:03,640 --> 00:26:06,919 Speaker 1: a year ago, normal maintenance. So so here's the question 489 00:26:06,960 --> 00:26:09,960 Speaker 1: for Tom. Does Tom want to spend thirty thousand dollars 490 00:26:09,960 --> 00:26:12,560 Speaker 1: on a hunday Sonata? As a guest, I'm thinking that's 491 00:26:12,600 --> 00:26:17,520 Speaker 1: what they gotta be, right, thirty five right give or take. Uh, Well, 492 00:26:17,560 --> 00:26:24,080 Speaker 1: they're a little less than that straight out, Okay, so 493 00:26:24,240 --> 00:26:26,679 Speaker 1: twenty it's thirty by the time they put tax on it. 494 00:26:26,880 --> 00:26:30,600 Speaker 1: So there's thirty eight they're gonna put tax on. There's 495 00:26:30,600 --> 00:26:33,000 Speaker 1: thirty grant. Do we want to spend thirty thousand out 496 00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,080 Speaker 1: of the retirement fund or do we want to spend 497 00:26:35,119 --> 00:26:40,800 Speaker 1: fifteen hundred out of the retirement fund? You know? Um, 498 00:26:40,880 --> 00:26:43,400 Speaker 1: the question I would ask the Mitsu dealer since you've 499 00:26:43,440 --> 00:26:45,639 Speaker 1: got a relationship with them and you can you can 500 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:48,320 Speaker 1: trust them at this point. Um, they're your guys because 501 00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:50,159 Speaker 1: you gotta trust your guy, right. That's part of what 502 00:26:50,160 --> 00:26:52,720 Speaker 1: auto repair is, that's the illusion of or to repair. 503 00:26:52,760 --> 00:26:55,240 Speaker 1: We're all comfortable spending money with people. We know they 504 00:26:55,280 --> 00:26:57,639 Speaker 1: know you, right, you bought the car there, you've been 505 00:26:57,640 --> 00:27:01,119 Speaker 1: service in the car there. The question to them is, hey, guys, 506 00:27:01,359 --> 00:27:04,720 Speaker 1: you know what's the next calamitous thing I could expect? 507 00:27:06,080 --> 00:27:08,240 Speaker 1: And you know, if they tell you, hey, Tom, it's 508 00:27:08,280 --> 00:27:10,720 Speaker 1: it's gonna be a transmission and it's seven thousand dollars, 509 00:27:10,920 --> 00:27:14,240 Speaker 1: then you've got your answer. If they tell you that, well, 510 00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:16,520 Speaker 1: that's exactly where I'm coming from. You know, if I 511 00:27:16,640 --> 00:27:19,919 Speaker 1: spend a thousand on this down the road, you know 512 00:27:20,560 --> 00:27:23,399 Speaker 1: you never know about this right Well, and by the 513 00:27:23,440 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: same token, it's still it's twenty eight thousand, thirty thousand 514 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:30,200 Speaker 1: dollars for the new one. Um, I think it's a mechanic. 515 00:27:30,280 --> 00:27:32,080 Speaker 1: I think the mechanic has to get involved in this 516 00:27:32,119 --> 00:27:36,000 Speaker 1: because only he knows the actual condition better than anybody. 517 00:27:36,040 --> 00:27:39,280 Speaker 1: Of course, then there's the psychological side of this, and 518 00:27:39,320 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 1: then there's the life issue side of this. Life's too short. 519 00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:46,760 Speaker 1: Tom wants a new car. It makes him feel good. Uh, 520 00:27:46,800 --> 00:27:50,199 Speaker 1: you know, it's it just there's there's something about that 521 00:27:50,240 --> 00:27:52,639 Speaker 1: new car smell that makes us all very happy. I 522 00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:57,359 Speaker 1: think when I think when God pushes us through and 523 00:27:57,400 --> 00:27:59,720 Speaker 1: out into this world, he puts these endorphins in there 524 00:27:59,760 --> 00:28:02,400 Speaker 1: that let them be excited by the by by these 525 00:28:02,440 --> 00:28:05,639 Speaker 1: particular smells. There's nothing like, oh my god, it smells 526 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:06,720 Speaker 1: so good. As a matter of fact, you go to 527 00:28:06,720 --> 00:28:08,400 Speaker 1: the car wash, if you notice you've got your choice 528 00:28:08,400 --> 00:28:12,439 Speaker 1: of vanilla, Irish mint and new car smell in a bottle. 529 00:28:12,520 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 1: I haven't figured out how they do that. Um. I 530 00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:16,600 Speaker 1: think they're vacuuming up the smell from the new cars 531 00:28:16,600 --> 00:28:21,880 Speaker 1: on the assembly line. But the point becomes that, listen, 532 00:28:21,920 --> 00:28:24,840 Speaker 1: I'm not gonna be jimminy cricket from as. It's got 533 00:28:24,840 --> 00:28:26,879 Speaker 1: to be a mechanical point of view, it's got to 534 00:28:26,920 --> 00:28:29,880 Speaker 1: be a non emotional Is this what I really want 535 00:28:29,880 --> 00:28:34,520 Speaker 1: to continue to drive? All right? And that's that's that's 536 00:28:34,560 --> 00:28:38,320 Speaker 1: really it, exactly exactly. I know where you're coming from. 537 00:28:38,360 --> 00:28:40,280 Speaker 1: I had a fellow one to buy it as it is, 538 00:28:40,320 --> 00:28:42,440 Speaker 1: and I've been thinking about just going ahead and letting 539 00:28:42,520 --> 00:28:44,320 Speaker 1: him have it. Yeah, let me let me ask you 540 00:28:44,360 --> 00:28:46,920 Speaker 1: the important question.

Welcome to the car Doctor, sir, How 565 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:15,720 Speaker 1: how can I help? I have a slight oil? Well, 566 00:30:17,040 --> 00:30:19,920 Speaker 1: define slight? Is it hitting the back bumper yet or 567 00:30:19,920 --> 00:30:22,880 Speaker 1: is it just like a drip on the ground, on 568 00:30:22,920 --> 00:30:27,080 Speaker 1: the ground. Okay, I don't even add one chord between 569 00:30:27,120 --> 00:30:31,479 Speaker 1: all changes? All right? Um? Any idea where it's coming from? 570 00:30:31,560 --> 00:30:33,320 Speaker 1: Or is that your question for me? Which is kind 571 00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,360 Speaker 1: of hard from my seat here? Yeah? Right right, UM, 572 00:30:37,960 --> 00:30:44,760 Speaker 1: I have no IDEA four cylinder six cylinder? Rod? Is it? 573 00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:49,840 Speaker 1: Is it a four cylinder or six? I don't know 574 00:30:50,200 --> 00:30:54,000 Speaker 1: which engine it is? Yeah, I don't know. Okay, that 575 00:30:54,040 --> 00:30:56,440 Speaker 1: makes it even tougher, but I'll take a stab at it, 576 00:30:56,760 --> 00:30:59,479 Speaker 1: all right. If it's a six cylinder, if it's if 577 00:30:59,520 --> 00:31:02,840 Speaker 1: it's if it's a V six camera. Very common oil 578 00:31:02,920 --> 00:31:05,560 Speaker 1: leak is from the valve covers, especially the back one. 579 00:31:05,920 --> 00:31:09,280 Speaker 1: By now at eighty thousand miles. The valve covers are baked. 580 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:11,760 Speaker 1: The rubber valve cover gaskets are just baked, and they're 581 00:31:11,760 --> 00:31:13,880 Speaker 1: gonna be rock hard. A bit of a job to do. 582 00:31:13,960 --> 00:31:16,720 Speaker 1: The upper intake plentum has to come off. There's there's 583 00:31:17,200 --> 00:31:19,720 Speaker 1: three bolts in the back of the intake manifold that 584 00:31:19,760 --> 00:31:22,560 Speaker 1: you can't see. There's two fourteens in a twelve holding 585 00:31:22,560 --> 00:31:25,200 Speaker 1: a bracket that that really you gotta shove your hand 586 00:31:25,240 --> 00:31:27,720 Speaker 1: down behind the firewall. When your hand starts to bleed, 587 00:31:27,760 --> 00:31:29,240 Speaker 1: that's about the moment you can get the wrench on 588 00:31:29,280 --> 00:31:32,080 Speaker 1: the nut and spin it off. A little bit of 589 00:31:32,080 --> 00:31:35,120 Speaker 1: a tough job. Good half a day's work, working hard, 590 00:31:35,160 --> 00:31:37,600 Speaker 1: and just be prepared that a bunch of plastic things 591 00:31:37,800 --> 00:31:39,360 Speaker 1: that are in the way you're gonna break and be 592 00:31:39,400 --> 00:31:42,920 Speaker 1: brittle and fall apart. Uh. You know? After that? Oil 593 00:31:43,000 --> 00:31:45,360 Speaker 1: leaks on the V six cameras and once in a 594 00:31:45,360 --> 00:31:48,400 Speaker 1: while you see a front crank seal behind the harmonic 595 00:31:48,400 --> 00:31:51,960 Speaker 1: balancer in the sprocket, but not common four cylinder cameras 596 00:31:52,400 --> 00:31:56,200 Speaker 1: four cylinder cameras. Valve covers also, but more likely if 597 00:31:56,200 --> 00:31:58,720 Speaker 1: it's down load towards the front of the motor. The 598 00:31:59,080 --> 00:32:01,160 Speaker 1: second most common oil leak on the fourth cylind to 599 00:32:01,240 --> 00:32:04,400 Speaker 1: cameras of that generation were around the oil pump area 600 00:32:04,480 --> 00:32:06,680 Speaker 1: just behind the cranks brocket. So it's gonna be the 601 00:32:06,680 --> 00:32:11,080 Speaker 1: front oil crank seal and the um oil pump gasket 602 00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:14,560 Speaker 1: area all around ceiling the timing cover or the front 603 00:32:14,560 --> 00:32:17,280 Speaker 1: oil pan gasket area to the oil pump to the 604 00:32:17,280 --> 00:32:21,200 Speaker 1: timing cover area all down there the whole front bottom quarter, 605 00:32:21,400 --> 00:32:23,000 Speaker 1: if I can say it like that, if the engine 606 00:32:23,360 --> 00:32:27,640 Speaker 1: tends to become one massive oil leak, obviously front camp 607 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:30,720 Speaker 1: seals are an issue, we want to be aware of that. 608 00:32:30,760 --> 00:32:33,480 Speaker 1: But probably the most practical way to approach this is 609 00:32:33,760 --> 00:32:36,280 Speaker 1: a and does they after we figure out which engine 610 00:32:36,320 --> 00:32:38,600 Speaker 1: it is? Is if you're gonna have a garage, do 611 00:32:38,640 --> 00:32:41,320 Speaker 1: it is they need to wash everything down, add some 612 00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:44,240 Speaker 1: sort of a die to it, especially at this mileage, 613 00:32:44,640 --> 00:32:47,520 Speaker 1: and run the car. Where does the die show it's 614 00:32:47,520 --> 00:32:49,880 Speaker 1: a fluorescent dye with a black lightning a set of glasses. 615 00:32:50,160 --> 00:32:52,280 Speaker 1: Where does the die show that the leak is the 616 00:32:52,360 --> 00:32:55,760 Speaker 1: strongest in terms of you know where it's coming out 617 00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:58,440 Speaker 1: before you fix any oil leaks on a car like this, 618 00:32:58,680 --> 00:33:00,160 Speaker 1: And this is of course after is that the oil 619 00:33:00,320 --> 00:33:02,400 Speaker 1: as it could be the oil filter loose, could be 620 00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,840 Speaker 1: the drain plug loose. Simple stuff. You know, before you 621 00:33:04,880 --> 00:33:07,240 Speaker 1: fix a car of this age and mileage of any 622 00:33:07,280 --> 00:33:09,680 Speaker 1: kind of an oil leak, major issue like that, do 623 00:33:09,720 --> 00:33:12,920 Speaker 1: an evaluation of the rest of the car. And I'm 624 00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:16,240 Speaker 1: not just talking breaks, tires, shocks, front end things like that. 625 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,480 Speaker 1: What kind of russ does the floor pan have? What 626 00:33:18,520 --> 00:33:21,360 Speaker 1: does the exhaust system look like? Does does the exhaust 627 00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:23,480 Speaker 1: system have the crunches on the flanges where it's gonna 628 00:33:23,520 --> 00:33:26,000 Speaker 1: fall apart? Shortly? All that stuff has to be taken 629 00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,680 Speaker 1: into consideration because you could have a fifty dollar repair, 630 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:30,680 Speaker 1: you could have a two thousand dollar repair to fix 631 00:33:30,720 --> 00:33:32,400 Speaker 1: the soil leak, and you want to find that out 632 00:33:32,480 --> 00:33:36,440 Speaker 1: now before you spend the money. Eight five zero zero. 633 00:33:36,560 --> 00:33:38,160 Speaker 1: I'm on any of the car doctor coming back to 634 00:33:38,200 --> 00:33:44,400 Speaker 1: wrap it up right after this, Let's go real quick, 635 00:33:44,720 --> 00:33:45,800 Speaker 1: any of the car doctor here.

Help. You're welcome, David. You 645 00:34:21,640 --> 00:34:23,200 Speaker 1: can tell them if you're still there, that you know 646 00:34:23,239 --> 00:34:25,160 Speaker 1: the reason trans fluid does that is because it's a 647 00:34:25,239 --> 00:34:28,440 Speaker 1: very high detergent fluid and they'll scrub away any varnish 648 00:34:28,440 --> 00:34:31,319 Speaker 1: and contaminant, not a lot, maybe maybe up to a 649 00:34:31,400 --> 00:34:33,759 Speaker 1: pint in an engine crank case, up to at least 650 00:34:33,760 --> 00:34:35,319 Speaker 1: four or four and a half quarts of oil with it. 651 00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:37,360 Speaker 1: Don't push the engine hard, try not to drive it, 652 00:34:37,440 --> 00:34:39,320 Speaker 1: just let it sit there in idle and then change 653 00:34:39,320 --> 00:34:41,480 Speaker 1: it right afterwards.
