1
00:00:03,920 --> 00:00:06,040
Speaker 1: Not sure what the best type of tires are for

2
00:00:06,120 --> 00:00:08,879
Speaker 1: your car. Want to make sure your mechanic is giving

3
00:00:08,880 --> 00:00:11,800
Speaker 1: you an honest diagnosis, then this is where to turn

4
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: for help. Welcome to the car Doctor ron Anadian is

5
00:00:17,840 --> 00:00:21,120
Speaker 1: here to answer your questions about cars. Get him the call.

00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:25,440
Speaker 2: Takda Ford Fairlane Tudor blue with a black Vital top

7
00:00:25,800 --> 00:00:29,000
Speaker 2: three speed on the tree ad an FM radio.

8
00:00:28,760 --> 00:00:32,680
Speaker 1: In now here's the car, doctor ron Anadian.

9
00:00:33,920 --> 00:00:36,599
Speaker 3: In nineteen seventy two, a crack commando unit was sent

10
00:00:36,640 --> 00:00:38,720
Speaker 3: to prison by a military court for a crime they

11
00:00:38,760 --> 00:00:42,080
Speaker 3: didn't commit. These men promptly escape from a maximum security

12
00:00:42,080 --> 00:00:45,519
Speaker 3: stockade to the Los Angeles underground. Today, still wanted by

13
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,400
Speaker 3: the government, they survive as soldiers of fortune. If you

14
00:00:48,479 --> 00:00:50,720
Speaker 3: have a problem, if no one else can help, and

15
00:00:50,800 --> 00:00:53,440
Speaker 3: if you can find them, maybe you can hire the.

16
00:00:53,440 --> 00:01:02,960
Speaker 4: Eighteen talking about of the week fiber optics light beams

17
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:04,280
Speaker 4: in the automobile, Hello and welcome.

18
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:05,959
Speaker 5: I'm on a knee in the card Dog two thousand

19
00:01:05,959 --> 00:01:06,160
Speaker 5: and eight.

20
00:01:06,319 --> 00:01:09,000
Speaker 2: Ford Explorer came into the shop at our automotive this

21
00:01:09,080 --> 00:01:11,880
Speaker 2: past week and it would intermittently turn on the dome

22
00:01:12,000 --> 00:01:13,960
Speaker 2: light while driving. You'd be touling down the road, and

23
00:01:13,959 --> 00:01:15,720
Speaker 2: all of a sudden the dome light had pop on,

24
00:01:16,640 --> 00:01:20,360
Speaker 2: and sometimes the vehicle would sort of shut off. The

25
00:01:20,640 --> 00:01:23,360
Speaker 2: was probably the key essential part of the diagnosis. There

26
00:01:23,360 --> 00:01:26,399
Speaker 2: were no other symptoms, no warning lights. Scanned all the

27
00:01:26,440 --> 00:01:27,720
Speaker 2: onboard computers.

28
00:01:27,319 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 6: Anyway, because we always want.

29
00:01:28,520 --> 00:01:30,440
Speaker 2: To look at codes to see what's port of percolating

30
00:01:30,480 --> 00:01:32,600
Speaker 2: behind the scenes, and there was nothing there to report.

31
00:01:32,959 --> 00:01:34,320
Speaker 5: So I said, you know what, it's time to road

32
00:01:34,400 --> 00:01:34,640
Speaker 5: test that.

33
00:01:34,640 --> 00:01:36,280
Speaker 2: I got to go for the ride and duplicate what's

34
00:01:36,319 --> 00:01:40,000
Speaker 2: going on here, and yeah, the vehicle would turn on

35
00:01:40,040 --> 00:01:41,880
Speaker 2: the dome if you hit a bump or a pothole,

36
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:43,680
Speaker 2: or if you were a little too quick to get

37
00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,360
Speaker 2: out of the vehicle, if you smacked your knee with

38
00:01:45,440 --> 00:01:48,520
Speaker 2: the to the bottom of the steering column cover, you

39
00:01:48,560 --> 00:01:51,640
Speaker 2: would turn on the dome light and sometimes make the

40
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:56,440
Speaker 2: vehicle stall. And I remember, how about twelve years ago

41
00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,440
Speaker 2: I had a customer with a Volvo that had a

42
00:01:59,480 --> 00:02:02,360
Speaker 2: similar and you've heard me talk.

43
00:02:02,240 --> 00:02:03,240
Speaker 5: About it here on the show.

44
00:02:03,280 --> 00:02:06,120
Speaker 2: That the vehicle had it was probably longer than twelve

45
00:02:06,200 --> 00:02:09,000
Speaker 2: years ago, but the vehicle would stall on railroad tracks

46
00:02:09,760 --> 00:02:15,760
Speaker 2: and diagnosed it, diagnosed it, diagnosed it, and couldn't duplicate it.

47
00:02:16,320 --> 00:02:17,560
Speaker 6: Customer came by one day.

48
00:02:17,600 --> 00:02:19,120
Speaker 5: It was a young girl. She said, well, let's go

49
00:02:19,160 --> 00:02:20,200
Speaker 5: for a ride, and I said fine.

50
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:22,120
Speaker 6: She said, let me use my keys.

51
00:02:22,200 --> 00:02:24,000
Speaker 5: Since this way, then I'll just leave Da da da da.

52
00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:25,520
Speaker 2: I gave her back the key she had given me,

53
00:02:25,560 --> 00:02:28,120
Speaker 2: thinking that was the key she used, and she pulled

54
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:31,160
Speaker 2: out a pile of keys that looked like it was

55
00:02:31,200 --> 00:02:33,520
Speaker 2: every missing key in America on this chain. It looked

56
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:36,360
Speaker 2: like the key cheek chain probably weighed about forty pounds.

57
00:02:37,120 --> 00:02:38,800
Speaker 2: Go down the road, and if you remember right, this

58
00:02:38,840 --> 00:02:40,320
Speaker 2: is the car they went and hit the pothole and

59
00:02:40,360 --> 00:02:42,480
Speaker 2: hit the bump in the road, it would shut off

60
00:02:42,480 --> 00:02:45,600
Speaker 2: while I watched the key go click. So I thought

61
00:02:45,600 --> 00:02:47,240
Speaker 2: about that and I said, you know, I wonder if

62
00:02:47,240 --> 00:02:49,120
Speaker 2: that could be the case with this explorer, that the

63
00:02:49,160 --> 00:02:49,919
Speaker 2: lock cylinder.

64
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,440
Speaker 5: Is there an issue with that?

65
00:02:51,560 --> 00:02:54,640
Speaker 2: And sure enough, in looking at it and feeling it,

66
00:02:54,720 --> 00:02:58,240
Speaker 2: the lock cylinder would turn almost a quarter of its

67
00:02:58,320 --> 00:03:01,160
Speaker 2: rotation before it actually engaged the ignition switcher, before it

68
00:03:01,240 --> 00:03:03,919
Speaker 2: actually stopped on the stops it was engaging the gnition

69
00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:05,240
Speaker 2: switch and turning on the dome light.

70
00:03:05,280 --> 00:03:06,839
Speaker 5: I could smack it with the bottom of my hand.

71
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:08,800
Speaker 2: I could hit the lock cylinder with a two ounce

72
00:03:08,840 --> 00:03:10,040
Speaker 2: diagnostic bullpen hammer.

73
00:03:10,080 --> 00:03:12,960
Speaker 5: I keep my toolbox and the light would come on. Hey,

74
00:03:12,960 --> 00:03:14,359
Speaker 5: guess what you need? A lock cylinder.

75
00:03:14,960 --> 00:03:17,120
Speaker 2: Could understand why the lock cylinder wore out, but I'll

76
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:20,440
Speaker 2: tell you that when we're done, So put a lock

77
00:03:20,520 --> 00:03:23,639
Speaker 2: cylinder in it. And I had the steering column covers off.

78
00:03:23,639 --> 00:03:25,959
Speaker 2: There are these two plastic clamshells that you look that

79
00:03:26,200 --> 00:03:28,320
Speaker 2: sort of are around the steering columns on cars today,

80
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:29,839
Speaker 2: because I said, what if I have to get into

81
00:03:29,840 --> 00:03:32,840
Speaker 2: further testing, let me just there's three bolts involved, let

82
00:03:32,880 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 2: me leave them off and go.

83
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:34,160
Speaker 6: For a ride.

84
00:03:34,240 --> 00:03:36,640
Speaker 2: Let me verify the repairs, fine, and we'll go from there.

85
00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,320
Speaker 2: I leave the shop, I make the corner on West

86
00:03:39,320 --> 00:03:41,680
Speaker 2: Prospect Street and I turned down Smith and all of

87
00:03:41,720 --> 00:03:44,480
Speaker 2: a sudden, the truck goes into this violent doesn't want

88
00:03:44,480 --> 00:03:47,000
Speaker 2: to move and turn and oh my god, it's worse.

89
00:03:47,040 --> 00:03:47,680
Speaker 6: What happened.

90
00:03:49,120 --> 00:03:51,200
Speaker 2: Got to the corner down on Bonnard, just about made

91
00:03:51,200 --> 00:03:53,280
Speaker 2: it back to the shop and I'm thinking, you know,

92
00:03:53,360 --> 00:03:54,800
Speaker 2: did I leave something unplugged?

93
00:03:54,800 --> 00:03:57,080
Speaker 5: What happened here? And looked around.

94
00:03:57,520 --> 00:04:00,400
Speaker 2: Everything's normal, and then the light came on. Service RSC

95
00:04:00,640 --> 00:04:04,600
Speaker 2: Ride Stability control system pull the codes. Pulled out a

96
00:04:04,600 --> 00:04:07,600
Speaker 2: C twelve seventy eight code, which, as everybody knows, is

97
00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,320
Speaker 2: a steering angle sensor level one and.

98
00:04:09,360 --> 00:04:11,400
Speaker 5: Two for a Ford Explorer in two thousand and eight. Right,

99
00:04:11,440 --> 00:04:12,040
Speaker 5: we all know that.

100
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:14,680
Speaker 2: And I said, gee, what when we're wrong with the

101
00:04:14,720 --> 00:04:17,200
Speaker 2: steering angle sensor, Like, that's kind of odd putting the

102
00:04:17,279 --> 00:04:19,720
Speaker 2: lock cylinder over here in a steering angle sensor. They

103
00:04:19,839 --> 00:04:21,919
Speaker 2: both happen to be in the same general area, but

104
00:04:22,839 --> 00:04:23,799
Speaker 2: I don't see a connection.

105
00:04:24,440 --> 00:04:27,680
Speaker 5: So I started reading the float chart for the.

106
00:04:27,640 --> 00:04:30,080
Speaker 2: Code because now I'm kind of curious, like I don't

107
00:04:30,080 --> 00:04:32,359
Speaker 2: want to just get into this sensor. I want to

108
00:04:32,360 --> 00:04:35,120
Speaker 2: think what made it different? What changing the lock cylinder?

109
00:04:35,360 --> 00:04:37,320
Speaker 2: How changing the lock cylinder created this.

110
00:04:37,360 --> 00:04:38,200
Speaker 5: Code, if it did.

111
00:04:39,640 --> 00:04:41,600
Speaker 2: And I read down to the part that says that

112
00:04:41,600 --> 00:04:44,360
Speaker 2: the steering wheel angle sensor is a sensor located underneath

113
00:04:44,360 --> 00:04:47,159
Speaker 2: the clock spring, located directly underneath the steering wheel with

114
00:04:47,360 --> 00:04:50,200
Speaker 2: a plate in it that has three hundred and sixty slots.

115
00:04:50,200 --> 00:04:53,480
Speaker 2: And I'm thinking three hundred and sixty slots, okay, that

116
00:04:53,800 --> 00:04:56,920
Speaker 2: is operated and detected by the onboard computer by use

117
00:04:57,080 --> 00:05:02,880
Speaker 2: of an infrared light beam. Ooh, something in my brain

118
00:05:03,040 --> 00:05:05,520
Speaker 2: clicked like I heard it snap in place, and I went,

119
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:09,599
Speaker 2: light beam. I've got the covers off the steering column

120
00:05:09,680 --> 00:05:11,800
Speaker 2: because I'm looking at the ignition switch and I'm thinking

121
00:05:12,080 --> 00:05:15,280
Speaker 2: light beam. This switch is generally like the government, it's

122
00:05:15,320 --> 00:05:17,880
Speaker 2: in the dark. So I said, let me put the

123
00:05:17,880 --> 00:05:20,160
Speaker 2: covers back on. That was a shot at the government. There,

124
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:21,240
Speaker 2: Vegas in case you didn't get that.

125
00:05:21,360 --> 00:05:23,960
Speaker 5: Vegas is looking at me like huh, pool players.

126
00:05:24,400 --> 00:05:27,040
Speaker 2: So I put the covers back on the steering column

127
00:05:27,400 --> 00:05:31,560
Speaker 2: and the car was fixed. Bottom line, it seems that

128
00:05:32,120 --> 00:05:35,800
Speaker 2: this really is rocket science. We've now got fiber optics,

129
00:05:36,120 --> 00:05:39,680
Speaker 2: infrared light beams, and maybe warp drive coming to a

130
00:05:39,720 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 2: car near you.

131
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:41,680
Speaker 6: Who knows what's next.

132
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:45,000
Speaker 2: Do we really need a steering angle sensor that's sensitive

133
00:05:45,040 --> 00:05:48,640
Speaker 2: to light with an infrared light beam? I can't imagine

134
00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:53,599
Speaker 2: the possibilities as covers get old, don't fit our loose, rattle,

135
00:05:53,880 --> 00:05:57,680
Speaker 2: make noise, shed light, let light in. Where are these

136
00:05:57,720 --> 00:05:59,719
Speaker 2: cars going to be in the next eight to ten years.

137
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:03,320
Speaker 2: I've over complicated the animal far beyond.

138
00:06:02,960 --> 00:06:03,880
Speaker 6: Where it needs to be.

139
00:06:04,600 --> 00:06:06,880
Speaker 2: I kept thinking of Captain Kirk, to go beyond where

140
00:06:06,880 --> 00:06:09,000
Speaker 2: no man has gone before. We're looking if the car

141
00:06:09,040 --> 00:06:10,839
Speaker 2: can go around the corner at the rate we're going,

142
00:06:10,880 --> 00:06:13,360
Speaker 2: because we're going to overcomplicate it to the point that

143
00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 2: it just doesn't work. Oh and by the way, before

144
00:06:15,839 --> 00:06:17,719
Speaker 2: we start off this hour of the car doctor, the

145
00:06:17,760 --> 00:06:21,240
Speaker 2: customer came to pick up the car, nice lady, Marianne,

146
00:06:21,520 --> 00:06:24,440
Speaker 2: and we're talking, and you know, her husband asked the

147
00:06:24,520 --> 00:06:26,120
Speaker 2: question that, you know, how about the lock celone to

148
00:06:26,120 --> 00:06:28,440
Speaker 2: wear out on a three year old car like this,

149
00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,000
Speaker 2: And somehow I think I got in the middle of

150
00:06:31,040 --> 00:06:33,000
Speaker 2: the husband and the wife because the conversation came up

151
00:06:33,000 --> 00:06:35,200
Speaker 2: and he brought up, well, you know, Mary Anne, your keys,

152
00:06:35,640 --> 00:06:38,760
Speaker 2: your keychain is kind of large, and I just kind

153
00:06:38,760 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 2: of raised my eyebrows and went, oh, and yeah, she

154
00:06:42,520 --> 00:06:44,680
Speaker 2: probably she was probably the sister of the girl with

155
00:06:44,720 --> 00:06:47,080
Speaker 2: the Volvo because she had the forty pound keychain too.

156
00:06:47,360 --> 00:06:49,919
Speaker 2: So you know what the rule is, one key on

157
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:53,440
Speaker 2: the keychain, folks. That's really the bottom line. I've got

158
00:06:53,480 --> 00:06:56,200
Speaker 2: to say, my sister used to do this too. My

159
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,400
Speaker 2: sister drives a Volkswagon only for two years because after

160
00:06:59,400 --> 00:07:01,239
Speaker 2: that the lease is up, and we know what happens

161
00:07:01,279 --> 00:07:04,640
Speaker 2: after two years with a VW and it's it's sort

162
00:07:04,640 --> 00:07:07,480
Speaker 2: of like after two years or after with the big keychain.

163
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:08,839
Speaker 2: She heard the story of the Volvo, and then I

164
00:07:08,880 --> 00:07:11,239
Speaker 2: told her this story the other day. So she's stilled

165
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,360
Speaker 2: down to one key on the Volkswagon. One key on

166
00:07:13,400 --> 00:07:15,880
Speaker 2: the keychain helps the lock cylinder get along a whole

167
00:07:15,920 --> 00:07:18,239
Speaker 2: lot better, more than you can imagine. Hello and welcome,

168
00:07:18,280 --> 00:07:19,960
Speaker 2: run on ending. And the car doctor told you that part.

169
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,320
Speaker 2: The phones are lit. The phones are jammed. This is

170
00:07:22,360 --> 00:07:24,600
Speaker 2: an interview free hour. Let's get everybody in and get

171
00:07:24,600 --> 00:07:26,920
Speaker 2: everybody out the door today. So let's kick him off

172
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:28,920
Speaker 2: and let's start with Mike and Piscataway, New Jersey.

173
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:29,880
Speaker 5: Hi, Mike, how are you, sir?

174
00:07:30,040 --> 00:07:30,160
Speaker 3: Hi?

175
00:07:30,240 --> 00:07:30,480
Speaker 7: Ron?

176
00:07:30,720 --> 00:07:31,080
Speaker 5: Go ahead?

177
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:31,600
Speaker 6: What you got?

178
00:07:31,960 --> 00:07:34,360
Speaker 7: I'm been two thousand and three sat and Iron with

179
00:07:34,360 --> 00:07:39,440
Speaker 7: a check engine laying problem. What code team zero four.

180
00:07:39,320 --> 00:07:41,320
Speaker 6: Four two EVAP small leak? Ahead?

181
00:07:41,400 --> 00:07:46,080
Speaker 7: Right, I have a new fuel pump, the mechanic for

182
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:51,119
Speaker 7: plains from Perne Valve Vince solnoying gas cab. He fuel

183
00:07:51,240 --> 00:07:55,800
Speaker 7: tested the lines, pulled the gas tank, tested that and

184
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:59,720
Speaker 7: kinking up with a reason for the code.

185
00:07:59,720 --> 00:08:01,960
Speaker 2: Okay, let me let me ask you this question, Mike,

186
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,320
Speaker 2: do you know if your mechanic or how he's testing

187
00:08:05,360 --> 00:08:06,440
Speaker 2: it is he using.

188
00:08:06,160 --> 00:08:12,280
Speaker 5: A smoke machine. He did smoke test. Let me let

189
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:12,920
Speaker 5: me say it like this.

190
00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:18,360
Speaker 2: If your house was sealed, all the doors were closed,

191
00:08:18,360 --> 00:08:21,920
Speaker 2: whendows were closed, it was draft free, and the fireplace

192
00:08:22,040 --> 00:08:26,480
Speaker 2: flew backed up, all right, and the house filled with smoke.

193
00:08:27,040 --> 00:08:29,600
Speaker 6: Wherever there was the least tiny leak is where the.

194
00:08:29,600 --> 00:08:32,640
Speaker 5: Smoke would come out, right sure, Okay, the.

195
00:08:32,600 --> 00:08:36,240
Speaker 2: Way when we smoke test and evaporative emission system, basically

196
00:08:36,280 --> 00:08:38,240
Speaker 2: what we're doing is we're sealing the house.

197
00:08:38,880 --> 00:08:39,320
Speaker 6: Okay.

198
00:08:39,800 --> 00:08:43,280
Speaker 2: The vent valve allows air to be drawn into the system,

199
00:08:43,400 --> 00:08:46,400
Speaker 2: which requires it to do at certain times. The purge

200
00:08:46,440 --> 00:08:50,000
Speaker 2: valve takes the fumes from the fuel system and pulls

201
00:08:50,040 --> 00:08:52,640
Speaker 2: them into the engine to be burned and consumed and

202
00:08:52,679 --> 00:08:56,360
Speaker 2: be gotten rid of that being said, if your mechanic

203
00:08:56,480 --> 00:08:58,880
Speaker 2: is smoking it, if he's really smoking it, what he's

204
00:08:58,960 --> 00:09:01,880
Speaker 2: doing is he's using a scan tool or some other

205
00:09:01,960 --> 00:09:05,040
Speaker 2: device to close the vent valve. If the vent valve

206
00:09:05,080 --> 00:09:08,000
Speaker 2: is the back door of the house, all right, If

207
00:09:08,040 --> 00:09:10,400
Speaker 2: the back door is open and the smoke comes out

208
00:09:10,440 --> 00:09:11,480
Speaker 2: of the chimney, where's it going to go.

209
00:09:11,520 --> 00:09:14,440
Speaker 5: It's gonna go out the back door. Right in this vehicle,

210
00:09:14,559 --> 00:09:15,520
Speaker 5: like many vehicles.

211
00:09:15,840 --> 00:09:17,719
Speaker 2: The only time the smoke is going to come out

212
00:09:17,760 --> 00:09:19,440
Speaker 2: is if the back door of the vent is open,

213
00:09:19,520 --> 00:09:22,920
Speaker 2: So you close the vent and look for smoke. If

214
00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:26,840
Speaker 2: he sees no smoke, If there's no smoke whatsoever, the

215
00:09:26,960 --> 00:09:29,840
Speaker 2: leak isn't there at that time. And I only say

216
00:09:29,880 --> 00:09:32,000
Speaker 2: that in his defense, in the sense that if he's

217
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:34,160
Speaker 2: truly smoking it, he's doing it right.

218
00:09:34,960 --> 00:09:35,920
Speaker 6: All right.

219
00:09:36,080 --> 00:09:38,840
Speaker 5: I'm confused as to why he put a.

220
00:09:38,760 --> 00:09:41,840
Speaker 2: Fuel pump in it was the conversation that the fuel

221
00:09:41,840 --> 00:09:45,160
Speaker 2: pumped the top of the fuel pump itself was leaking.

222
00:09:45,880 --> 00:09:48,840
Speaker 7: Now, I had an older issue with Haunt starting, and

223
00:09:48,960 --> 00:09:52,720
Speaker 7: the chickens in line came on after that problem arose.

224
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:56,520
Speaker 2: So the P zero four four two, the P zero

225
00:09:56,559 --> 00:09:58,199
Speaker 2: four to four to two started after he put a

226
00:09:58,240 --> 00:09:59,040
Speaker 2: fuel pump in it.

227
00:10:00,160 --> 00:10:01,760
Speaker 7: No, I had that before.

228
00:10:02,960 --> 00:10:05,959
Speaker 2: Okay, Well, then let's back up a second. I'm hearing

229
00:10:06,000 --> 00:10:08,480
Speaker 2: that two different check engine lights occurred here? Or am

230
00:10:08,520 --> 00:10:09,360
Speaker 2: I hearing this wrong?

231
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:13,400
Speaker 7: I had a Haunt starting problem right, which he diagnosed,

232
00:10:13,400 --> 00:10:14,360
Speaker 7: says the fuel pump.

233
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:16,120
Speaker 5: Okay, is that problem fixed?

234
00:10:16,320 --> 00:10:16,640
Speaker 8: Yes?

235
00:10:16,679 --> 00:10:17,000
Speaker 6: All right?

236
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:18,560
Speaker 5: When did the check engine light come on?

237
00:10:19,920 --> 00:10:22,840
Speaker 7: It came on after I had the Haunt starting.

238
00:10:22,520 --> 00:10:25,079
Speaker 5: Problem, right, so after he did the fuel pump.

239
00:10:26,880 --> 00:10:30,160
Speaker 7: Actually, no, before I had I've always had that problem.

240
00:10:30,559 --> 00:10:32,560
Speaker 2: Okay, So you had a check engine light and then

241
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:36,640
Speaker 2: you had a hard start problem, yes, okay. And he's

242
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:38,440
Speaker 2: put a fuel pump in it, he's done a vent valve,

243
00:10:38,480 --> 00:10:41,960
Speaker 2: a purge valve, and a gas cap, right, Okay, he

244
00:10:42,040 --> 00:10:45,200
Speaker 2: smokes it and he can't find the leak, right, all right.

245
00:10:45,280 --> 00:10:47,440
Speaker 2: The problem here is going to be that if the

246
00:10:47,480 --> 00:10:51,160
Speaker 2: problem is that intermittent, it's going to be difficult to find.

247
00:10:51,720 --> 00:10:54,840
Speaker 2: I'd be curious to see when he dropped when he

248
00:10:54,840 --> 00:10:56,680
Speaker 2: did the fuel tank, when he did the fuel pump.

249
00:10:56,720 --> 00:10:57,760
Speaker 5: Did he drop the tank?

250
00:10:58,120 --> 00:10:59,000
Speaker 7: Yes, all right.

251
00:10:59,400 --> 00:11:02,640
Speaker 2: I'd be asking him to drop the tank again and

252
00:11:02,679 --> 00:11:07,840
Speaker 2: to set that up, possibly outside when it's cold, and

253
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:11,360
Speaker 2: to test the tank outside with his smoke machine when

254
00:11:11,400 --> 00:11:16,920
Speaker 2: it's cold, only because the majority of EVAPP system leaks

255
00:11:17,000 --> 00:11:21,040
Speaker 2: occur this time of year. When things get cold, they contract,

256
00:11:21,480 --> 00:11:24,400
Speaker 2: little seals leak. So I would want to know that

257
00:11:24,440 --> 00:11:26,720
Speaker 2: the fuel tank itself, that that O ring that he

258
00:11:26,840 --> 00:11:30,960
Speaker 2: replaced with the fuel pump has been properly seated in

259
00:11:31,040 --> 00:11:33,720
Speaker 2: ceiling against the tank, and you may find that the

260
00:11:33,760 --> 00:11:37,760
Speaker 2: temperature change of doing it cold will actually turn it up.

261
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:39,840
Speaker 2: See what happens is when you bring it into the shop,

262
00:11:39,880 --> 00:11:41,760
Speaker 2: put it up in the air at sixty five sixty

263
00:11:41,800 --> 00:11:44,520
Speaker 2: eight seventy degrees in the shop. The worst place to

264
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,800
Speaker 2: test EVAP systems is in the shop where it's warm.

265
00:11:47,200 --> 00:11:49,959
Speaker 2: You want to do it outside cold. So if he

266
00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:51,760
Speaker 2: wants to do it that way and ask him, be

267
00:11:51,800 --> 00:11:54,240
Speaker 2: sure that he's smoking this, because if he's not smoking this,

268
00:11:55,040 --> 00:11:57,200
Speaker 2: then he's never going to find this leak.

269
00:11:57,240 --> 00:11:58,680
Speaker 5: It's going to get to be very difficult.

270
00:11:59,080 --> 00:12:01,240
Speaker 2: But my next step if he's gone through all this

271
00:12:01,960 --> 00:12:04,200
Speaker 2: would be to either freeze out the shop, which is

272
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,040
Speaker 2: difficult to do, or drop the tank and smoke the

273
00:12:08,080 --> 00:12:11,600
Speaker 2: tank outside one morning after it's sat overnight and see

274
00:12:11,600 --> 00:12:12,360
Speaker 2: where the leak is.

275
00:12:13,000 --> 00:12:14,880
Speaker 5: All right, sir, thank you very much. You're welcome.

276
00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:15,679
Speaker 6: The car Doctor's back.

277
00:12:15,720 --> 00:12:32,520
Speaker 9: Don't go away.

278
00:12:35,160 --> 00:12:36,920
Speaker 5: Hey, hey, hey, welcome back. We're on ning of the

279
00:12:36,920 --> 00:12:37,280
Speaker 5: car doctor.

280
00:12:37,360 --> 00:12:41,120
Speaker 2: Let's cruise over to Ray two hundays a double two

281
00:12:41,160 --> 00:12:42,040
Speaker 2: for one question.

282
00:12:42,120 --> 00:12:43,440
Speaker 5: Yeah right, you're on with the card doctor. How can

283
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:43,679
Speaker 5: I help you?

284
00:12:43,720 --> 00:12:43,880
Speaker 1: Sir?

285
00:12:43,960 --> 00:12:46,760
Speaker 8: Yea. If they strap on snow chains, I guess you

286
00:12:46,760 --> 00:12:49,280
Speaker 8: can probably find them on a website, right, would you

287
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:52,160
Speaker 8: recommend them, you know, not to ride the car permanently

288
00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:53,880
Speaker 8: just to get out of a deep snow.

289
00:12:53,880 --> 00:12:55,920
Speaker 2: Because I go skiing out of a deep snow, I

290
00:12:55,920 --> 00:12:59,280
Speaker 2: could see it, but you know, probably not necessarily on

291
00:12:59,320 --> 00:13:01,440
Speaker 2: the ride to the ski center.

292
00:13:01,440 --> 00:13:02,520
Speaker 5: What sort of hyundays are these?

293
00:13:02,559 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 6: Are these four wheel drives, all whel both four wheel drive.

294
00:13:05,160 --> 00:13:06,840
Speaker 8: That you have to press the button? One is this

295
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,760
Speaker 8: seven cent fe and the other one's way two, son, I.

296
00:13:09,720 --> 00:13:12,319
Speaker 2: Don't even think you'll need them, right, I don't even

297
00:13:12,320 --> 00:13:13,240
Speaker 2: think you'll need them, kiddo.

298
00:13:13,640 --> 00:13:13,840
Speaker 8: You know.

299
00:13:14,280 --> 00:13:15,640
Speaker 5: Let me let me put it to you this way.

300
00:13:15,800 --> 00:13:19,520
Speaker 2: My plow truck is a full sized Chevy pickup and

301
00:13:19,840 --> 00:13:22,040
Speaker 2: all I have it's four wheel drive. All I have

302
00:13:22,200 --> 00:13:24,920
Speaker 2: on it or regular you know, the regular highway tires

303
00:13:24,920 --> 00:13:27,480
Speaker 2: that it came with, not a knobby tire, nothing fancy.

304
00:13:28,160 --> 00:13:29,920
Speaker 2: And I plow snow at the shop in the house

305
00:13:29,960 --> 00:13:31,800
Speaker 2: all day long. And the worst snow store is probably

306
00:13:31,800 --> 00:13:34,360
Speaker 2: worse stuff than you're out driving in. And I'm out

307
00:13:34,360 --> 00:13:36,719
Speaker 2: on the highways, you know, getting back and forth going

308
00:13:36,760 --> 00:13:37,599
Speaker 2: where I gotta.

309
00:13:37,360 --> 00:13:39,120
Speaker 5: Go, No change, no studs.

310
00:13:39,559 --> 00:13:41,880
Speaker 2: If that can make it through that type of environment,

311
00:13:41,960 --> 00:13:44,600
Speaker 2: then if you need change, you're probably on the road

312
00:13:44,640 --> 00:13:46,320
Speaker 2: in such weather that you probably shouldn't be.

313
00:13:46,320 --> 00:13:46,760
Speaker 9: On the road.

314
00:13:47,080 --> 00:13:50,040
Speaker 6: Okay, all right, sir, you're welcome.

315
00:13:50,040 --> 00:13:53,720
Speaker 2: Bye bye, Let's go to Christina, eating Town, New Jersey. Yes, Christina, Well,

316
00:13:53,760 --> 00:13:54,319
Speaker 2: I tell.

317
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:56,800
Speaker 10: You I seventy three year old ladies interested in run.

318
00:13:57,040 --> 00:13:58,720
Speaker 8: It's very interesting, yes, ma'am it is.

319
00:13:58,760 --> 00:13:59,959
Speaker 6: How can I help you?

320
00:14:00,040 --> 00:14:00,199
Speaker 8: Said?

321
00:14:00,200 --> 00:14:01,160
Speaker 10: They're about the keys and the car.

322
00:14:01,320 --> 00:14:01,720
Speaker 7: Very good.

323
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,400
Speaker 10: And the thing is that I had the two things

324
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,640
Speaker 10: that I mentioned to the fellow, which was in my car.

325
00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:12,160
Speaker 10: Went out of my car is leaking and it's leaking,

326
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:15,679
Speaker 10: and I took it in. I put some water into it,

327
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,959
Speaker 10: and I took it in, and apparently he said he

328
00:14:18,000 --> 00:14:20,480
Speaker 10: had tricked it. When I picked it up. He had

329
00:14:20,880 --> 00:14:24,920
Speaker 10: this inner tie rod bushing set and repair fan wire

330
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:27,800
Speaker 10: harness was the two items that he charged me with.

331
00:14:28,120 --> 00:14:30,680
Speaker 10: Gave me the car. I came home the next day

332
00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:34,280
Speaker 10: there was the water and the anti freeze on the driveway.

333
00:14:34,360 --> 00:14:37,120
Speaker 2: Okay, so it still has a coolant leak. And let

334
00:14:37,120 --> 00:14:39,680
Speaker 2: me let me clarify this for you and everybody else, Christina,

335
00:14:40,160 --> 00:14:44,720
Speaker 2: inner ti rod bushings have nothing to do with a

336
00:14:44,800 --> 00:14:48,120
Speaker 2: coolant leak. From my seat here and from the knowledge

337
00:14:48,160 --> 00:14:50,720
Speaker 2: I have other than there both happened to be on

338
00:14:50,800 --> 00:14:52,480
Speaker 2: the same car. One's leaking and it was just a

339
00:14:52,520 --> 00:14:55,600
Speaker 2: worn out tyrod and a tirod bushing. An inner ti

340
00:14:55,720 --> 00:14:58,560
Speaker 2: rod bushing or inner tire rod is sort of like

341
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:01,440
Speaker 2: your arm and your shoulder, a socket and ball joint

342
00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:05,600
Speaker 2: in that sense, and it's just worn. So one repair

343
00:15:05,800 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 2: is just a safety issue, that's the tirod. The other

344
00:15:08,840 --> 00:15:11,560
Speaker 2: is there is a coolant leak here. Now, if he

345
00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:14,480
Speaker 2: repaired the fan wire harness, it sounds like the vehicle

346
00:15:14,560 --> 00:15:18,280
Speaker 2: was overheating and perhaps the fan wasn't working, and he

347
00:15:18,400 --> 00:15:21,160
Speaker 2: repaired the wiring harness, but you're still telling me that

348
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:23,000
Speaker 2: it still has a coolant leak.

349
00:15:23,200 --> 00:15:26,520
Speaker 10: Correct right the water right on the drive light yet.

350
00:15:26,600 --> 00:15:28,920
Speaker 2: Okay, So his next step would have to be he's

351
00:15:28,920 --> 00:15:32,640
Speaker 2: got to diagnose that coolant leak, whether it be washing

352
00:15:32,680 --> 00:15:36,800
Speaker 2: down the engine block and adding an ultraviolet dye to

353
00:15:36,840 --> 00:15:38,880
Speaker 2: see where the stain is coming from, or if it's

354
00:15:38,880 --> 00:15:40,920
Speaker 2: a big enough leak, just to look at it and

355
00:15:40,960 --> 00:15:43,160
Speaker 2: diagnose and repair that leak. Now, one thing I want

356
00:15:43,160 --> 00:15:46,880
Speaker 2: to point out Chrystler three hundred ms as they get

357
00:15:46,920 --> 00:15:48,040
Speaker 2: a lot of miles on him.

358
00:15:48,040 --> 00:15:50,520
Speaker 5: This is a high mileage vehicle. I'm guessing it is

359
00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:51,760
Speaker 5: six streets.

360
00:15:53,400 --> 00:15:54,960
Speaker 6: Okay, two hundred eight thousand miles.

361
00:15:55,480 --> 00:15:58,760
Speaker 2: There are two things that cause overheats on these vehicles,

362
00:15:58,800 --> 00:16:01,480
Speaker 2: and they're sort of calm and they actually are common.

363
00:16:01,560 --> 00:16:04,800
Speaker 2: Number one, the radiator passages are very small.

364
00:16:05,160 --> 00:16:07,920
Speaker 6: As the vehicles age, they will build.

365
00:16:07,680 --> 00:16:11,360
Speaker 2: Up an excess amount of calcium and crud down on

366
00:16:11,400 --> 00:16:14,600
Speaker 2: the bottom of the radiator, restrict the tubes and have

367
00:16:14,680 --> 00:16:16,200
Speaker 2: a coolant flow issue.

368
00:16:16,720 --> 00:16:18,200
Speaker 5: I wouldn't be surprised.

369
00:16:17,800 --> 00:16:19,560
Speaker 2: That two hundred and eight thousand miles if that was

370
00:16:19,640 --> 00:16:21,440
Speaker 2: this particular problem, but the.

371
00:16:23,280 --> 00:16:25,400
Speaker 5: Radiator passages and no amount.

372
00:16:25,040 --> 00:16:29,040
Speaker 2: Of coolant exchange or coolant service is going to resurrect that.

373
00:16:29,520 --> 00:16:32,440
Speaker 5: The other part of the coolant puzzle.

374
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:34,560
Speaker 2: With these engines is that this is a three five

375
00:16:34,640 --> 00:16:38,200
Speaker 2: V six is that the coolant passages in the cylinder

376
00:16:38,320 --> 00:16:42,120
Speaker 2: head are very small, and I have seen cases where

377
00:16:42,280 --> 00:16:46,280
Speaker 2: once the radiator is restricted, the cylinder head gets restricted.

378
00:16:46,520 --> 00:16:48,240
Speaker 5: And the only way you're going to fix it is

379
00:16:48,240 --> 00:16:48,560
Speaker 5: if you.

380
00:16:48,520 --> 00:16:51,040
Speaker 2: Still have an overheat after doing a radiator, and you

381
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:53,000
Speaker 2: sort of have to be prepared for this before you

382
00:16:53,040 --> 00:16:55,440
Speaker 2: get into it. If you do the radiator and you

383
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:57,760
Speaker 2: can prove the radiators restricted, which is easy enough. You

384
00:16:57,760 --> 00:16:59,920
Speaker 2: cut the tank off, you look at it. It's got crud,

385
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:03,760
Speaker 2: it's out of here. Sure there are cases where the

386
00:17:03,880 --> 00:17:06,560
Speaker 2: cylinder head has to come off at two hundred and

387
00:17:06,560 --> 00:17:09,639
Speaker 2: eight thousand miles. You've got to understand the economics and

388
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:11,879
Speaker 2: the cost before you just start throwing parts at it.

389
00:17:11,920 --> 00:17:14,000
Speaker 5: So just be aware. I'm not saying this is your

390
00:17:14,040 --> 00:17:15,040
Speaker 5: particular problem.

391
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:17,920
Speaker 2: I'm just saying that you know you've got to fix

392
00:17:17,960 --> 00:17:21,280
Speaker 2: the coolant leak first, but understand one of the common

393
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:26,000
Speaker 2: coolant leak pattern failures with that particular car are radiators

394
00:17:26,160 --> 00:17:28,760
Speaker 2: and cylinder heads. And I don't know the reason why,

395
00:17:28,840 --> 00:17:32,560
Speaker 2: but the left cylinder head clogs the cooling system worse

396
00:17:32,920 --> 00:17:35,719
Speaker 2: than the right. It's it's probably the way the coolant

397
00:17:35,720 --> 00:17:37,879
Speaker 2: flows through the block and out through the head, But

398
00:17:37,920 --> 00:17:40,200
Speaker 2: the left head is the one that generally clogs up

399
00:17:40,400 --> 00:17:42,639
Speaker 2: the worst. Just something to be aware of when you

400
00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:43,160
Speaker 2: go back to.

401
00:17:43,119 --> 00:17:45,680
Speaker 5: Them, all right, darling, And just a quickie question.

402
00:17:46,600 --> 00:17:49,200
Speaker 10: It's quin's raining. I had a ton of noise from

403
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:50,920
Speaker 10: underneath anything.

404
00:17:50,920 --> 00:17:52,760
Speaker 5: When it's what hunt when it's raining.

405
00:17:52,760 --> 00:17:55,000
Speaker 10: In other words, if it's web out and raining, when

406
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,440
Speaker 10: I go to let's turn the car I get this

407
00:17:57,560 --> 00:18:00,000
Speaker 10: drug a loud some of the noise that come fro.

408
00:18:01,200 --> 00:18:04,960
Speaker 2: The car nothing comes to mind right off the top

409
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,040
Speaker 2: of my head. It would be a noise that, obviously,

410
00:18:07,080 --> 00:18:08,960
Speaker 2: if it's only there when it's wet, you've got to

411
00:18:08,960 --> 00:18:09,840
Speaker 2: get the mechanic to.

412
00:18:09,800 --> 00:18:10,800
Speaker 5: Go for a ride with you.

413
00:18:11,880 --> 00:18:14,520
Speaker 2: Nothing that I could call out just from experience. I

414
00:18:14,520 --> 00:18:17,040
Speaker 2: haven't had that one. But if it's there when it's raining,

415
00:18:17,280 --> 00:18:18,560
Speaker 2: that's the time you want to take it into the

416
00:18:18,560 --> 00:18:20,080
Speaker 2: repair shop and let him go for a ride.

417
00:18:20,240 --> 00:18:21,040
Speaker 6: The car Doctor's back.

418
00:18:21,080 --> 00:18:21,440
Speaker 5: Don't go in
