00:00:02,440 --> 00:00:06,480
Speaker 1: my mechanics, I talk to you. I can pull the

3
00:00:06,519 --> 00:00:10,080
Speaker 1: censors off and bench tested air bags are a little

4
00:00:10,280 --> 00:00:12,520
Speaker 1: are a little on the tricky side. They kind of

5
00:00:12,560 --> 00:00:17,800
Speaker 1: shy away from resistance testing of air big circuits. In general,

6
00:00:18,160 --> 00:00:24,599
Speaker 1: the word it could trigger an air big The car Doctor.

7
00:00:24,880 --> 00:00:29,480
Speaker 1: Sometimes you buy a used car and the mechanic can

8
00:00:29,520 --> 00:00:32,360
Speaker 1: make the best of intentions going over it, and he

9
00:00:32,479 --> 00:00:35,800
Speaker 1: just never knows what he's gonna run into. Welcome to

Speaker 1: a week at the shop, um, Monday, and quick we clear.

39
00:01:58,720 --> 00:02:01,240
Speaker 1: We cleared out a lot of headit cars this week Monday.

40
00:02:01,440 --> 00:02:05,720
Speaker 1: It was an eighty eight Lincoln town Car that I've

41
00:02:05,760 --> 00:02:07,720
Speaker 1: been telling the owner for the past three years, it's

42
00:02:07,760 --> 00:02:10,760
Speaker 1: time to go. You know. It's like exit stage right. Um.

43
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:13,240
Speaker 1: That was from a cartoon in the sixties. I got

44
00:02:13,240 --> 00:02:16,280
Speaker 1: to think about that it'll come to me. But you know,

45
00:02:16,440 --> 00:02:19,640
Speaker 1: just you know, the cars in trouble when you started

46
00:02:19,720 --> 00:02:21,560
Speaker 1: up and there's a knocking sound from the front of

47
00:02:21,560 --> 00:02:23,480
Speaker 1: the motor and it's eleven thousand miles over due on

48
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,919
Speaker 1: five thousand mile Lincoln town Car, Like, yeah, not so good,

49
00:02:28,560 --> 00:02:30,400
Speaker 1: you know, And there's no oil on the dipstick and

50
00:02:30,480 --> 00:02:32,600
Speaker 1: just a mess. But that isn't that wasn't even the issue.

51
00:02:32,600 --> 00:02:35,240
Speaker 1: The issue was, you know, the car is kind of

52
00:02:35,240 --> 00:02:37,480
Speaker 1: getting rusty underneath. You sort of need a technis shot

53
00:02:37,480 --> 00:02:39,400
Speaker 1: after you look at it because you're afraid you're just gonna,

54
00:02:40,160 --> 00:02:42,519
Speaker 1: you know, And it's the brake lines had rusted off,

55
00:02:42,560 --> 00:02:44,760
Speaker 1: the fuel line had rusted off, and I spent all

56
00:02:44,840 --> 00:02:48,079
Speaker 1: day Monday and part of Tuesday finishing it up doing

57
00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,160
Speaker 1: breaking fuel lines on this town car. So I said, well,

58
00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:52,720
Speaker 1: I'm glad to get rid of this car. This car

59
00:02:52,720 --> 00:02:55,320
Speaker 1: will go and one less, one less big problem trial

60
00:02:55,400 --> 00:02:58,440
Speaker 1: out of the shop. Right. The next one that rolls

61
00:02:58,440 --> 00:03:03,320
Speaker 1: in the door was a twenty Chevy Tahoe. Now I

62
00:03:03,320 --> 00:03:07,120
Speaker 1: don't know what the engineer was thinking. You know, sooner

63
00:03:07,200 --> 00:03:11,400
Speaker 1: or later motor mounts fail on everything. I've got to

64
00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,400
Speaker 1: think he was thinking we'll make it so that they

65
00:03:13,440 --> 00:03:18,040
Speaker 1: never can change it, because no, no human being with

66
00:03:18,080 --> 00:03:22,080
Speaker 1: an ounce of common sense design this. You have to

67
00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:24,040
Speaker 1: jack the engine up on the one side, Okay, I

68
00:03:24,080 --> 00:03:26,480
Speaker 1: get that part. You have to take off the heat

69
00:03:26,560 --> 00:03:31,160
Speaker 1: shield that's attached to the exhaust manifold with these little

70
00:03:31,200 --> 00:03:36,760
Speaker 1: tiny ten millimeter uh head six millimeter thread bolts. Now,

71
00:03:36,920 --> 00:03:39,520
Speaker 1: what happens after a hundred and seventy five thousand miles?

72
00:03:39,640 --> 00:03:41,960
Speaker 1: You know, do you think something's gonna rust a steel

73
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,720
Speaker 1: bolt in the cast iron manifold? It's gonna rust together? No,

74
00:03:45,560 --> 00:03:48,760
Speaker 1: why would that happen? So you have to get these apart.

75
00:03:48,840 --> 00:03:52,200
Speaker 1: You gotta take the wheelhouse out, the inner wheel offender liner.

76
00:03:53,080 --> 00:03:56,240
Speaker 1: You've got to take apart the steering shaft that's now

77
00:03:56,360 --> 00:03:59,240
Speaker 1: rusted together from the upper intermediate shaft to the lower

78
00:03:59,280 --> 00:04:03,760
Speaker 1: steering box. Shift. You just like, where's the logic and

79
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:06,360
Speaker 1: there's no place to go. It's it's it's you need

80
00:04:06,400 --> 00:04:08,680
Speaker 1: a quarter of an inch every which way to do

81
00:04:08,720 --> 00:04:11,520
Speaker 1: the job. You've got four bolts holding it to the block,

82
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:14,160
Speaker 1: three to the frame. You've got seven bolts holding the

83
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,080
Speaker 1: motor mount together. It's you know, don't have any bolts

84
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:18,920
Speaker 1: in the Titanic. Maybe that's why they weren't that remember,

85
00:04:18,920 --> 00:04:20,560
Speaker 1: that's why the Tantatic went that right, there should have

86
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:23,000
Speaker 1: been more ballts, I correct myself, but you get the point.

87
00:04:24,000 --> 00:04:28,000
Speaker 1: So that was Tuesday. Wednesday, I got to work on

88
00:04:28,040 --> 00:04:30,560
Speaker 1: the Subaru. Whoop, you doing my super We've had this

89
00:04:30,640 --> 00:04:33,320
Speaker 1: Subaru for a while, just just finally got into a

90
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,800
Speaker 1: hole hog this week. That has this well, I have

91
00:04:35,920 --> 00:04:41,880
Speaker 1: to go back because it really started in December. In December,

92
00:04:41,920 --> 00:04:44,200
Speaker 1: the car came to me because it had been to

93
00:04:44,240 --> 00:04:45,800
Speaker 1: the dealer a couple of times and a few of

94
00:04:45,839 --> 00:04:49,200
Speaker 1: the repair shops, and it had this intermittent rough vital

95
00:04:49,279 --> 00:04:53,440
Speaker 1: bucking problem, didn't run well in the rain, just was

96
00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:56,160
Speaker 1: you know, a bag of doughnuts. It just nothing was

97
00:04:56,279 --> 00:04:59,080
Speaker 1: right with the car. And all I could prove in

98
00:04:59,160 --> 00:05:03,880
Speaker 1: December was that in wet, rainy weather the ignition wires

99
00:05:03,920 --> 00:05:06,720
Speaker 1: broke down and developed a misfire on cylinders two and four,

100
00:05:07,279 --> 00:05:10,359
Speaker 1: and the spark plugs were gapped at fifty fifty two

101
00:05:10,360 --> 00:05:13,919
Speaker 1: thousands beyond spec. There were more than double specs. Oh yeah,

102
00:05:14,120 --> 00:05:17,200
Speaker 1: a hundred thirty seven thousand miles this time for plugs

103
00:05:17,200 --> 00:05:19,440
Speaker 1: and wires and for announce a good measure. We put

104
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:21,680
Speaker 1: a coil on it because there's such problem chials on

105
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,440
Speaker 1: children on subar ruse. So it came back to us

106
00:05:25,920 --> 00:05:29,599
Speaker 1: three months later. Four months later, every once in a while,

107
00:05:29,680 --> 00:05:35,560
Speaker 1: it's rough Vidal was still there and it was getting worse. Well,

108
00:05:35,880 --> 00:05:37,480
Speaker 1: and I get it, you know, we had never seen

109
00:05:37,480 --> 00:05:40,360
Speaker 1: the rough Vidal and it's in it's in it's true

110
00:05:40,400 --> 00:05:42,479
Speaker 1: form back in December. And you know, you always fixed

111
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:43,800
Speaker 1: what you know is bad and move on to the

112
00:05:43,839 --> 00:05:47,799
Speaker 1: next thing. And it was some careful, deductive reasoning and logic.

113
00:05:47,880 --> 00:05:50,760
Speaker 1: I looked at fuel trim fuel trim, and we talked

114
00:05:50,800 --> 00:05:52,640
Speaker 1: about fuel trim here, you know, you and I and

115
00:05:52,839 --> 00:05:55,760
Speaker 1: and if you've missed those conversations, stick around. I'm sure

116
00:05:55,800 --> 00:05:58,680
Speaker 1: I'll have one probably today. But here was a car,

117
00:05:58,920 --> 00:06:00,760
Speaker 1: and this is how valuable few trim is. Here was

118
00:06:00,760 --> 00:06:06,320
Speaker 1: a car with negative fuel trim meeting the engine saw

119
00:06:06,560 --> 00:06:09,840
Speaker 1: it was overfuelling by off it's base fuel trim, and

120
00:06:09,880 --> 00:06:13,080
Speaker 1: it was pulling fuel away by shutting down the injectors,

121
00:06:13,120 --> 00:06:17,520
Speaker 1: and the car just ran terrible. I went through normal diagnostics,

122
00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:19,479
Speaker 1: and one of the key diagnostics on a super of

123
00:06:19,480 --> 00:06:23,400
Speaker 1: this vintage and No. Three outback is careful consideration of

124
00:06:23,440 --> 00:06:26,800
Speaker 1: and testing and measurement of the air fuel sensor. Man

125
00:06:26,920 --> 00:06:28,920
Speaker 1: what you might call an oxygen sensor. You're looking to

126
00:06:28,960 --> 00:06:31,120
Speaker 1: see how does it react and what is it doing?

127
00:06:31,120 --> 00:06:33,679
Speaker 1: And part of the test. Because it's interesting to note

128
00:06:33,760 --> 00:06:37,240
Speaker 1: that that when you read the diagnostic information, they tell

129
00:06:37,240 --> 00:06:39,080
Speaker 1: you right in there that you can do step one,

130
00:06:39,120 --> 00:06:40,560
Speaker 1: two and three, and then when you get to that,

131
00:06:40,600 --> 00:06:42,400
Speaker 1: put a sensor in it. Because there's no accurate test

132
00:06:42,440 --> 00:06:44,400
Speaker 1: for the air fuel sensor. So you really feel comfortable

133
00:06:44,400 --> 00:06:46,799
Speaker 1: working on this car. You've got a trouble shoot, well,

134
00:06:47,080 --> 00:06:48,680
Speaker 1: but look at what they're telling you to do. They're

135
00:06:48,720 --> 00:06:52,680
Speaker 1: telling you to eliminate the obvious by telling you to

136
00:06:52,839 --> 00:06:56,240
Speaker 1: look for what's good. Show me what's good, and you'll

137
00:06:56,279 --> 00:06:58,200
Speaker 1: know what's bad. And we say that all the time here.

138
00:06:58,520 --> 00:06:59,920
Speaker 1: Um I said that all the time in the shop

139
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:02,800
Speaker 1: and and and super technical information is saying the same thing.

140
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:05,480
Speaker 1: You know, figure out what's good. If everything else around

141
00:07:05,480 --> 00:07:08,520
Speaker 1: it is good, then the sensor itself is bad. In

142
00:07:08,560 --> 00:07:12,240
Speaker 1: the case of the Subaru, the sensor tested good. It

143
00:07:12,320 --> 00:07:14,600
Speaker 1: didn't fail, even though there's no accurate test for it.

144
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:17,080
Speaker 1: So I had to sit back and come to another

145
00:07:17,560 --> 00:07:20,160
Speaker 1: gee where am I going with this car. I went

146
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:23,080
Speaker 1: home Wednesday night and I slept on it as I

147
00:07:23,160 --> 00:07:26,640
Speaker 1: sometimes do. UM you know, I developed a I R Automotive,

148
00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:29,680
Speaker 1: a R I Automotive Repair Insomni. You sit there and

149
00:07:29,720 --> 00:07:31,320
Speaker 1: think about cars at three in the morning, like what

150
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:35,680
Speaker 1: am I missing? And I realized what this oh three

151
00:07:35,720 --> 00:07:38,200
Speaker 1: Subaru has. And I haven't seen it in such a

152
00:07:38,240 --> 00:07:41,880
Speaker 1: long time, yet you forget right. And I came in

153
00:07:42,240 --> 00:07:45,560
Speaker 1: Thursday morning unbolted the e g R valve. E g

154
00:07:45,800 --> 00:07:49,760
Speaker 1: R is exhaust guests recirculation. It recirculates exhaust back into

155
00:07:49,800 --> 00:07:53,000
Speaker 1: the engine into the mixture to help lower cylinder temperature

156
00:07:53,240 --> 00:07:56,040
Speaker 1: to reduce emissions. And I take the e g R

157
00:07:56,160 --> 00:07:58,680
Speaker 1: valve off and the e g R valves stuck a

158
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:02,280
Speaker 1: quarter of the way open. You can't have exhaust flow

159
00:08:02,680 --> 00:08:06,080
Speaker 1: on an engine, any engine at idle. It was making

160
00:08:06,080 --> 00:08:08,520
Speaker 1: a rough vidal, So I got out my e g

161
00:08:08,720 --> 00:08:12,440
Speaker 1: R bypass kit, which was Danny's. Danny Danny has a

162
00:08:12,960 --> 00:08:16,040
Speaker 1: snap all iced tea and a can um every every morning,

163
00:08:16,040 --> 00:08:18,760
Speaker 1: and you know he's still looking for his ice tea.

164
00:08:18,760 --> 00:08:20,720
Speaker 1: Doesn't know what happened to it. I, you know, ported

165
00:08:21,120 --> 00:08:23,600
Speaker 1: it's gone, and I, you know, made made the snips.

166
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:26,040
Speaker 1: I snipped around it and um, you know, made the

167
00:08:26,040 --> 00:08:28,960
Speaker 1: bypass plate and put in the car works cars fixed

168
00:08:29,400 --> 00:08:31,240
Speaker 1: so well, not really fixed. I ordered an E g

169
00:08:31,400 --> 00:08:32,960
Speaker 1: R Valt for it because you can't send that out

170
00:08:32,960 --> 00:08:35,560
Speaker 1: like that. But you know that was Thursday. What are

171
00:08:35,559 --> 00:08:39,400
Speaker 1: they doing Friday? Oh? On Friday. Friday was the best

172
00:08:39,480 --> 00:08:41,440
Speaker 1: day of all this week at the shop. We caught

173
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:44,120
Speaker 1: up on all the headaches. Um. We hung the exhaust

174
00:08:44,160 --> 00:08:47,040
Speaker 1: on the F two fifty. We had a buy. We

175
00:08:47,080 --> 00:08:50,280
Speaker 1: had a twenty We have twenty sixteen Ford F two

176
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:54,280
Speaker 1: fifty super Duty that needed exhaust. It broke at the

177
00:08:54,320 --> 00:08:58,280
Speaker 1: resonator and it's a it's a tow vehicle and it

178
00:08:58,320 --> 00:09:00,560
Speaker 1: holds a lot of weight, and so we we opted

179
00:09:00,600 --> 00:09:06,320
Speaker 1: to buy exhaust again back from Ford seven dollars later. Um,

180
00:09:06,400 --> 00:09:08,400
Speaker 1: but you know, big heavy stuff. I mean we took

181
00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:09,760
Speaker 1: the two of us to carry this thing was a

182
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,600
Speaker 1: big monster piece of pipe. Um that was fixed. And

183
00:09:13,040 --> 00:09:14,880
Speaker 1: Friday afternoon I got to do the most fun thing

184
00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:17,320
Speaker 1: all week. I got to work on the Monte Carlo

185
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:19,200
Speaker 1: paint the frame a little bit. I'm getting I think

186
00:09:19,320 --> 00:09:21,760
Speaker 1: Monday Monday, if I get some time, I'll hang the

187
00:09:21,800 --> 00:09:24,079
Speaker 1: suspension on the left side and then we'll take the

188
00:09:24,160 --> 00:09:28,559
Speaker 1: right side apart. The bottom line is the thing about

189
00:09:28,679 --> 00:09:33,560
Speaker 1: order repair is you never know what the diversity is

190
00:09:33,840 --> 00:09:37,200
Speaker 1: of what you're gonna face. I started the week running

191
00:09:37,240 --> 00:09:39,480
Speaker 1: break and fuel lines on an eighty eight Lincoln town

192
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,920
Speaker 1: Car car thirty one going on thirty two years old.

193
00:09:42,120 --> 00:09:44,360
Speaker 1: And I finished the week putting exhaust on an F

194
00:09:44,480 --> 00:09:46,959
Speaker 1: two fifty x l T pickup truck, a super duty

195
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:50,679
Speaker 1: double door. And in the middle I had some diagnostics

196
00:09:50,720 --> 00:09:54,560
Speaker 1: on an OH three Subaru and a basic engine mount

197
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,800
Speaker 1: that wasn't so basic on a Tahoe. It's the diversity,

198
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:03,480
Speaker 1: it's it's the it's something different every day, and it's

199
00:10:03,520 --> 00:10:06,960
Speaker 1: something that you know, it's problem solving. I think at

200
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:10,320
Speaker 1: its best that if you really want to if you're

201
00:10:10,320 --> 00:10:12,600
Speaker 1: thinking about a career, and that's where I'm going with this,

202
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,520
Speaker 1: if you're thinking about you want to do something with

203
00:10:14,600 --> 00:10:18,679
Speaker 1: your life that's different, that's you know, there's never a

204
00:10:18,760 --> 00:10:21,280
Speaker 1: dull moment. You know, in the right circumstance, maybe you

205
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:23,960
Speaker 1: ought to repairs it. Um. I've been doing it forty

206
00:10:24,040 --> 00:10:26,000
Speaker 1: something years, and you know what, I'm still excited to

207
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:27,400
Speaker 1: go to work every day because I really don't think

208
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:29,240
Speaker 1: I go to work. I get to go hang out

209
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:32,120
Speaker 1: and play with cars. It's you know, but anyway, that

210
00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:35,000
Speaker 1: was my week. That's what it's about, and that diversification

211
00:10:35,040 --> 00:10:36,480
Speaker 1: is what this radio show is about. And that's what

212
00:10:36,480 --> 00:10:38,400
Speaker 1: you're gonna get a sample of if you stick around

213
00:10:38,400 --> 00:10:40,719
Speaker 1: with us this hour because I am Ronani in the

214
00:10:40,760 --> 00:10:52,839
Speaker 1: Car Doctor zero. We're back right after this. That's right.

215
00:10:52,880 --> 00:10:55,040
Speaker 1: If you call and we're not live, you can leave

216
00:10:55,080 --> 00:10:56,800
Speaker 1: a message and we'll call you back to get you

217
00:10:56,840 --> 00:11:01,480
Speaker 1: on the air with Ron five Row nine zero zero

218
00:11:01,840 --> 00:11:04,839
Speaker 1: speaking Lebron there he is, Hey, welcome back. Let's go

219
00:11:04,920 --> 00:11:07,400
Speaker 1: over and talk to built in may or two penny

220
00:11:07,440 --> 00:11:09,000
Speaker 1: at Grand Damn Bill, you're out with the car Doctor.

221
00:11:09,040 --> 00:11:13,960
Speaker 1: How can I help Hiron? It's two thousand, two thousand,

222
00:11:14,040 --> 00:11:17,360
Speaker 1: two penty at Grand Damn V six high mileage like

223
00:11:17,440 --> 00:11:23,200
Speaker 1: two hundred and twenty four thousand miles. It's developed. It's

224
00:11:23,200 --> 00:11:26,920
Speaker 1: sort of like a surge when it's hot. Um the

225
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:31,440
Speaker 1: gear right below overdrive it's that's third gear. I'm not

226
00:11:31,480 --> 00:11:35,559
Speaker 1: sure it's a four speed automatic when it when it

227
00:11:35,679 --> 00:11:40,680
Speaker 1: down shifts like on a grade on the Interstate. Seventy

228
00:11:40,679 --> 00:11:45,160
Speaker 1: miles an hour or whatever. Down shifts the tachometer and

229
00:11:45,240 --> 00:11:49,840
Speaker 1: you can feel the engine speeding up slowing down about

230
00:11:49,920 --> 00:11:55,080
Speaker 1: one maybe three r pms and it's just back and forth,

231
00:11:55,160 --> 00:11:59,200
Speaker 1: back and forth. Other than that, it up shifts. Fine.

232
00:11:59,400 --> 00:12:03,880
Speaker 1: It's it's fine when it's cold. And I want to

233
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,600
Speaker 1: sell it on Craig's List, but I don't want to

234
00:12:06,600 --> 00:12:09,920
Speaker 1: sell it if there's something wrong, seriously wrong with it.

235
00:12:10,040 --> 00:12:13,440
Speaker 1: It's not worth so much money. This was wondering if

236
00:12:13,120 --> 00:12:16,280
Speaker 1: you had an idea. It's it's only underload, right, Bill.

237
00:12:16,280 --> 00:12:18,360
Speaker 1: If if you're sitting at idole at idle smooth, it's

238
00:12:18,400 --> 00:12:20,199
Speaker 1: it's it's not an idol surge there, it's an idol

239
00:12:20,200 --> 00:12:24,360
Speaker 1: surge underload on the road. Yeah, either idole surge or

240
00:12:24,360 --> 00:12:29,360
Speaker 1: the transmission flipping. Don't say idle surge, idle surge. You

241
00:12:29,400 --> 00:12:31,679
Speaker 1: know it's it's not an idol. If you're sitting at

242
00:12:31,679 --> 00:12:34,720
Speaker 1: a traffic light, the engine idle smooth and the RPM

243
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:38,679
Speaker 1: stays steady. Correct, that that's correct, right, It's it's you're

244
00:12:38,720 --> 00:12:42,400
Speaker 1: doing fifty five sixty sixty five at on the interstate

245
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,040
Speaker 1: and as it's shifting through the gears, it starts. It's

246
00:12:46,040 --> 00:12:49,200
Speaker 1: almost like the RPM starts to hunt for position, or

247
00:12:49,400 --> 00:12:52,000
Speaker 1: there's an idle flare if you're if you're rolling along

248
00:12:52,000 --> 00:12:56,400
Speaker 1: at sixty mile rpm, as you watch it, it'll just

249
00:12:56,520 --> 00:12:58,920
Speaker 1: gradually creep up to two thousand and then back down

250
00:12:58,920 --> 00:13:01,520
Speaker 1: to eighteen hundred and then back up again. It's it's

251
00:13:01,520 --> 00:13:04,160
Speaker 1: always hunting. It's it's never a steady rpm, or it's

252
00:13:04,160 --> 00:13:11,240
Speaker 1: not a steady rpm anymore. But that third gear? What

253
00:13:11,400 --> 00:13:14,600
Speaker 1: what's probably going on? And there's no check engine light?

254
00:13:14,640 --> 00:13:16,839
Speaker 1: There are no fault codes in this. I'll ask that question,

255
00:13:16,840 --> 00:13:18,480
Speaker 1: but I think I already know the answer to it. Right,

256
00:13:18,559 --> 00:13:23,120
Speaker 1: there's there's no desh in. Yeah, okay, what's probably going

257
00:13:23,200 --> 00:13:27,040
Speaker 1: on here is? And what's what's really suspect. What's what's

258
00:13:27,080 --> 00:13:30,840
Speaker 1: not uncommon is the torque converter. The torque converter clutch

259
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:34,960
Speaker 1: is slipping inside the trans u Ever you've ever been

260
00:13:34,960 --> 00:13:37,720
Speaker 1: in a stick car, um you know, four speed, five speed,

261
00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,120
Speaker 1: and you're rolling along in gear and by accident you

262
00:13:40,240 --> 00:13:43,240
Speaker 1: sort of maybe you're with somebody, they ride the clutch

263
00:13:43,240 --> 00:13:46,200
Speaker 1: a little bit, so the clutch is partially disengaged and

264
00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:49,199
Speaker 1: they're just applying a steady guess to the throttle and

265
00:13:49,240 --> 00:13:51,440
Speaker 1: the rpm starts to creep up a little bit until

266
00:13:51,480 --> 00:13:53,440
Speaker 1: they realize what they do and then they let off

267
00:13:53,520 --> 00:13:55,560
Speaker 1: on the clutch or they little f on the on

268
00:13:55,600 --> 00:13:58,960
Speaker 1: the gas pedal. It changes rpm and it it changes

269
00:13:59,000 --> 00:14:01,599
Speaker 1: the ability of the clutch in the manual trans to

270
00:14:02,000 --> 00:14:04,599
Speaker 1: transmit power from the engine to the transmission to the

271
00:14:04,679 --> 00:14:09,720
Speaker 1: drive wheels. Have you ever experienced that? Okay, that's that's

272
00:14:09,760 --> 00:14:13,360
Speaker 1: that's probably what's going on with this. And it's it's

273
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,320
Speaker 1: it's simple enough to to diagnose. It would take a

274
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,200
Speaker 1: scan tool and and somebody to look at the numbers.

275
00:14:19,200 --> 00:14:22,440
Speaker 1: There's a there's a couple of pieces of information. UM.

276
00:14:22,600 --> 00:14:24,760
Speaker 1: One is they want to go look at torque converter

277
00:14:24,920 --> 00:14:29,240
Speaker 1: clutch duty cycle, which is the PCM. The powertrain control

278
00:14:29,280 --> 00:14:35,720
Speaker 1: module commands the toru converter clutch to apply or disengage

279
00:14:35,760 --> 00:14:39,640
Speaker 1: at a certain rate or ratio. And as long as

280
00:14:39,680 --> 00:14:42,440
Speaker 1: it's applying the typically you'd see torqu converter duty cycle

281
00:14:42,480 --> 00:14:46,440
Speaker 1: above zero, which means that PCM is commanding TCC on

282
00:14:46,600 --> 00:14:50,920
Speaker 1: during the during the issue. UM, at that moment, if

283
00:14:51,000 --> 00:14:54,040
Speaker 1: we could you know, override the toru converter clutch with

284
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,640
Speaker 1: a solenoid, command the solenoid to see if the slip

285
00:14:57,720 --> 00:15:01,240
Speaker 1: ARPM comes down below fifty and and if we do,

286
00:15:01,360 --> 00:15:05,000
Speaker 1: is the surge gone all right? If the surge is gone,

287
00:15:05,840 --> 00:15:08,680
Speaker 1: then the problems in the PCM. If the surge is

288
00:15:08,680 --> 00:15:11,480
Speaker 1: still present, in other words, then the problems and the

289
00:15:11,520 --> 00:15:15,720
Speaker 1: trans in other words, there's there's there's three components here.

290
00:15:15,760 --> 00:15:19,680
Speaker 1: There's a powertrain control modular PCM. There's a torque converter clutch,

291
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:24,520
Speaker 1: which is the the mechanical or fluid connection. It's the

292
00:15:24,560 --> 00:15:27,520
Speaker 1: fluid connection that creates the mechanical lock between the engine

293
00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,280
Speaker 1: and the transmission. And the torque converter solenoid, which applies

294
00:15:31,400 --> 00:15:35,800
Speaker 1: hydraulic pressure to lock up the clutch inside the converter.

295
00:15:36,040 --> 00:15:39,160
Speaker 1: Do you ever have a many bike as a kid? Okay,

296
00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 1: if you ever see a centrifugal clutch house, centrifugal clutch

297
00:15:42,120 --> 00:15:45,480
Speaker 1: works on the side of a yeah, like like kind

298
00:15:45,520 --> 00:15:49,040
Speaker 1: of chain so perfect, okay, Um, you know, the faster

299
00:15:49,120 --> 00:15:52,480
Speaker 1: it goes is it applies more load. The pressure pushes

300
00:15:52,480 --> 00:15:54,760
Speaker 1: the shoes out and locks to the drum to to

301
00:15:55,200 --> 00:15:58,000
Speaker 1: lock that chainsaw up so that it's it's a one

302
00:15:58,040 --> 00:16:01,680
Speaker 1: to one um effort. Well, same thing we've got. We've

303
00:16:01,720 --> 00:16:05,120
Speaker 1: got a similar type of setup. Shoes inside the converter

304
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,760
Speaker 1: that hydraulic fluid pushes against to lock into the drum

305
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:13,280
Speaker 1: of the converter to create a solid mechanical lock between

306
00:16:13,280 --> 00:16:18,520
Speaker 1: the engine and the transmission. If if the piece that's

307
00:16:18,560 --> 00:16:24,360
Speaker 1: controlling at the powertrain control module is requesting the lock

308
00:16:24,920 --> 00:16:28,200
Speaker 1: to be less than what's required, it's gonna cause the

309
00:16:28,240 --> 00:16:31,960
Speaker 1: engine to surge and speed because it's like somebody pressing

310
00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:36,120
Speaker 1: on that clutch pedal and the manual trans car right, So,

311
00:16:36,400 --> 00:16:38,320
Speaker 1: you know what we want to look at is can

312
00:16:38,360 --> 00:16:41,360
Speaker 1: we override the PCM and tell it to command the

313
00:16:41,400 --> 00:16:44,720
Speaker 1: TCC or the torque converter clutch at. If we can

314
00:16:44,800 --> 00:16:49,440
Speaker 1: do that, all right, then we know that the torque

315
00:16:49,480 --> 00:16:55,240
Speaker 1: converter clutch is mechanically capable of being locked and maintaining

316
00:16:55,480 --> 00:16:59,960
Speaker 1: pressure underload if we can't. If we if we tell

317
00:17:00,040 --> 00:17:04,720
Speaker 1: it to lock at but it doesn't, then we've got

318
00:17:04,720 --> 00:17:07,320
Speaker 1: to think that the torque converter clutch itself is an issue.

319
00:17:07,320 --> 00:17:09,399
Speaker 1: But we've also got to look at how much slip

320
00:17:09,520 --> 00:17:13,760
Speaker 1: rpm we've got, all right, But chances are it's it's

321
00:17:13,800 --> 00:17:17,040
Speaker 1: it's somewhere in the trans It's it's either trans or PCM,

322
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,120
Speaker 1: And you know, a shop with a scan tool can

323
00:17:19,119 --> 00:17:21,240
Speaker 1: diagnose it if you need. You know, if you need,

324
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:24,040
Speaker 1: I can. I've got a diagnostic routine for it somewhere.

325
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:25,800
Speaker 1: I'm more than glad to email it to you if

326
00:17:25,800 --> 00:17:27,640
Speaker 1: you send me a note ron at Car Doctor show

327
00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,520
Speaker 1: dot com and um, you know, I can kind of

328
00:17:30,520 --> 00:17:32,720
Speaker 1: walk you through it that way. But you know, chances

329
00:17:32,760 --> 00:17:35,439
Speaker 1: are you're you're in the neighborhood of a trans or

330
00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:40,639
Speaker 1: or a powertrain control module. So you know, it's it's listen,

331
00:17:41,000 --> 00:17:42,840
Speaker 1: somebody may take the car and go. You know, it's

332
00:17:42,880 --> 00:17:45,000
Speaker 1: it's it's an O two, it's got high mileage on it.

333
00:17:45,440 --> 00:17:49,160
Speaker 1: Maybe you price it appropriately because it's probably a non

334
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:52,240
Speaker 1: economical repair at this point in its life, and you know,

335
00:17:52,280 --> 00:17:53,920
Speaker 1: maybe they get another year out of it the way

336
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:55,600
Speaker 1: it sits. And somebody's happy to get a car that

337
00:17:55,640 --> 00:17:58,040
Speaker 1: just gets him around at some level. All right, sir,

338
00:17:58,640 --> 00:18:00,040
Speaker 1: give that a shot. If you need me wrong on

339
00:18:00,080 --> 00:18:02,040
Speaker 1: at Car Doctor Show dot com, drop me a note

340
00:18:02,040 --> 00:18:03,600
Speaker 1: and I'll be glad to send you more information. I'm

341
00:18:03,640 --> 00:18:29,160
Speaker 1: mount Anating the Car Doctor and I'm back right after this. Hey,

342
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:31,119
Speaker 1: welcome back Nating of the Car Doctor. You know I

343
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:33,960
Speaker 1: was I was reading, um something from the Car Here

344
00:18:34,040 --> 00:18:36,719
Speaker 1: Council cark here dot org. They're talking about that the

345
00:18:36,760 --> 00:18:39,439
Speaker 1: average tax refund this year is expected to be nearly

346
00:18:39,480 --> 00:18:43,720
Speaker 1: three thousand dollars, and they're encouraging people to consider doing

347
00:18:43,800 --> 00:18:45,960
Speaker 1: some maintenance. And UM, you know I get that on

348
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:48,040
Speaker 1: their automobile, and you know, I understand that. They talk

349
00:18:48,080 --> 00:18:51,000
Speaker 1: about how maintenance on the automobile, you know, can save

350
00:18:51,080 --> 00:18:53,159
Speaker 1: you more money in the long run by you do

351
00:18:53,160 --> 00:18:55,760
Speaker 1: a little bit now preventative maintenance, it prevents the bigger

352
00:18:55,800 --> 00:18:58,680
Speaker 1: problem from later on. So, um, just something to think about.

353
00:18:58,800 --> 00:19:01,480
Speaker 1: The cark Here Council points out, with proper care, the

354
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:04,040
Speaker 1: typical vehicle today should deliver at least two hundred thousand

355
00:19:04,040 --> 00:19:07,240
Speaker 1: miles of safe, dependable performance. The most common routine maintenance

356
00:19:07,240 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 1: procedures and repairs include checking the oil filters, fluid belts, hoses, brakes,

357
00:19:11,320 --> 00:19:13,359
Speaker 1: tires in the h v a C, heating, minilation, and

358
00:19:13,359 --> 00:19:16,680
Speaker 1: air conditioning system. The nonprofit Car Care Council ALL also

359
00:19:16,720 --> 00:19:19,600
Speaker 1: recommends an annual tune up of sorts and wheel alignment.

360
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:22,680
Speaker 1: Routine car care will help keep your vehicle running dependably, UH,

361
00:19:22,680 --> 00:19:27,040
Speaker 1: concluded Rich White, the uh um UH executive director of

362
00:19:27,080 --> 00:19:29,240
Speaker 1: the Car Care Council more at car here dot Org. Yeah,

363
00:19:29,240 --> 00:19:31,800
Speaker 1: and I have I have plaud that you know what, regardless,

364
00:19:31,920 --> 00:19:33,560
Speaker 1: but it's you know, it's not a bad idea this

365
00:19:33,600 --> 00:19:35,200
Speaker 1: time of year, said a little bit of that tax

366
00:19:35,240 --> 00:19:37,960
Speaker 1: refund side, and uh, get that car in shape because

367
00:19:38,000 --> 00:19:41,120
Speaker 1: summer driving is right around the corner. Let's get our number.

368
00:19:41,119 --> 00:19:43,840
Speaker 1: Talk to Shane Michigan eighty six travel Master motor Home

369
00:19:44,400 --> 00:19:47,600
Speaker 1: Ford E three fifty UM frames set up there, Shane,

370
00:19:47,640 --> 00:19:48,800
Speaker 1: What can I do for you? Ron and ay and

371
00:19:48,840 --> 00:19:51,560
Speaker 1: at your service? How canna help? Well, I've had this

372
00:19:51,640 --> 00:19:54,720
Speaker 1: motor home for about a year and my biggest issue, really,

373
00:19:54,760 --> 00:19:57,040
Speaker 1: my only issue with it is that my fuel gage

374
00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,880
Speaker 1: does not work. Okay. I took it into a Ford

375
00:20:00,000 --> 00:20:03,959
Speaker 1: dealership specifically for that reason. They looked at all the wiring,

376
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:07,040
Speaker 1: the sending unit, the censor, everything. I couldn't figure out

377
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:08,840
Speaker 1: what the problem was. But then they told me that

378
00:20:09,320 --> 00:20:13,000
Speaker 1: all the parts to replace this are obsolete. So I'm

379
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:16,240
Speaker 1: looking for some options on an aftermarket fuel gauge that

380
00:20:16,280 --> 00:20:18,639
Speaker 1: I can drive down the road safely and know how

381
00:20:18,720 --> 00:20:21,480
Speaker 1: much gas I've got. So, I mean, you know, the

382
00:20:21,480 --> 00:20:23,600
Speaker 1: first thing somebody's got to do is diagnosed at night.

383
00:20:23,800 --> 00:20:26,879
Speaker 1: You know, how can I explain it? We had a

384
00:20:27,200 --> 00:20:29,720
Speaker 1: I'll tell you the story this way. We had a

385
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:31,359
Speaker 1: what car was that? Oh, we had a we had

386
00:20:31,400 --> 00:20:35,399
Speaker 1: a twenty six GMCCRA this week that I got an

387
00:20:35,440 --> 00:20:38,080
Speaker 1: education this week on something um We had to put

388
00:20:38,119 --> 00:20:41,359
Speaker 1: tire pressure sensors in it. And we put four tire

389
00:20:41,359 --> 00:20:44,280
Speaker 1: pressure sensors in the sierra and then we had a flash.

390
00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:46,480
Speaker 1: It we had we had to burn the censor. I

391
00:20:46,600 --> 00:20:49,399
Speaker 1: d into the sensor to get into the vehicle, so

392
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:51,040
Speaker 1: the vehicle knew where that you know, that it had

393
00:20:51,040 --> 00:20:54,560
Speaker 1: the sensors and where the tires were and so on. Now,

394
00:20:54,880 --> 00:20:57,359
Speaker 1: every time we've used this brand of censor, when we

395
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,400
Speaker 1: when we make a copy or a clone or we burn,

396
00:20:59,480 --> 00:21:04,600
Speaker 1: the number always says a racing flash and then burning flash.

397
00:21:04,880 --> 00:21:07,359
Speaker 1: So in the back of my mind, I'm thinking, there's

398
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:12,520
Speaker 1: always some information inside these sensors, all right, long story short,

399
00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:16,880
Speaker 1: there's nothing in these sensors and the tool needs physical contact,

400
00:21:16,960 --> 00:21:19,479
Speaker 1: or it needed physical contact until I got the last update,

401
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:22,560
Speaker 1: I could solve the problem wirelessly, which I did. My

402
00:21:22,720 --> 00:21:25,720
Speaker 1: point is as part of the diagnosis to figure out,

403
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,800
Speaker 1: g is my tool broken or is it all? You know?

404
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:29,680
Speaker 1: How can I have four bad sensors that the tool

405
00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:32,439
Speaker 1: can't read. I got another sensor out of the shelf,

406
00:21:32,880 --> 00:21:35,280
Speaker 1: went up to the tool, and the tool wouldn't read

407
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:38,879
Speaker 1: that sensor either. The point is I always try to

408
00:21:38,960 --> 00:21:42,240
Speaker 1: separate the problem and break it down into English, into

409
00:21:42,320 --> 00:21:45,960
Speaker 1: something I can understand, bite sizes at a time. You know,

410
00:21:46,040 --> 00:21:48,760
Speaker 1: I don't care whether it's a motor home or a

411
00:21:48,840 --> 00:21:51,560
Speaker 1: kiddie car. How does the gas gage work? How is

412
00:21:51,600 --> 00:21:54,439
Speaker 1: it supposed to work? It's a float, it's a wire. Uh,

413
00:21:54,440 --> 00:21:56,200
Speaker 1: there's got to be power going up to the gauge,

414
00:21:56,240 --> 00:21:58,400
Speaker 1: and it's a resistance value that changes in the tank

415
00:21:58,440 --> 00:22:02,040
Speaker 1: as the float rises and falls. So you know, you'll

416
00:22:02,080 --> 00:22:04,639
Speaker 1: you'll have to do a little research obviously, what's the

417
00:22:04,800 --> 00:22:07,639
Speaker 1: range is it? If we're gonna try and stay with

418
00:22:07,720 --> 00:22:11,520
Speaker 1: the stock gauge, we need to find a sender that

419
00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:15,040
Speaker 1: has a similar resistance value that perhaps we could cut

420
00:22:15,080 --> 00:22:19,040
Speaker 1: the the sensing portion out of soldering in and create

421
00:22:19,080 --> 00:22:22,639
Speaker 1: our own UH sending UH sensor. If you understand what

422
00:22:22,720 --> 00:22:28,640
Speaker 1: I'm saying. UM, you know I always say you ever

423
00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:31,000
Speaker 1: watch you ever watch some Barrett Jackson and you look

424
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:33,199
Speaker 1: at some of these cars that don't exist anymore. And

425
00:22:33,240 --> 00:22:37,600
Speaker 1: they've completely restored this oddball n Chevy something, and you go,

426
00:22:37,600 --> 00:22:40,400
Speaker 1: where do they get the parts for it? You know,

427
00:22:40,840 --> 00:22:43,440
Speaker 1: if they can manufacture and make those parts fit, I'm

428
00:22:43,480 --> 00:22:45,240
Speaker 1: sure we can get a gas gauge working in a

429
00:22:45,280 --> 00:22:48,399
Speaker 1: motor home. How hard could it be? Uh, you know,

430
00:22:48,560 --> 00:22:51,200
Speaker 1: it's it's But the point becomes, we've got to diagnosis.

431
00:22:51,320 --> 00:22:54,639
Speaker 1: So you know, somebody's got to get under their regardless

432
00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:57,440
Speaker 1: of what it is. We're we're looking for somebody to

433
00:22:57,480 --> 00:22:59,440
Speaker 1: go under the tank or get to the tank wire

434
00:22:59,480 --> 00:23:02,400
Speaker 1: with a very will resistor and change the resistance from

435
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,239
Speaker 1: zero to ninety homes or zero to seventy five ms,

436
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:08,720
Speaker 1: which is a typical sensor range value for a gas

437
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:11,840
Speaker 1: tank center. And watch what the gas gage does. If

438
00:23:11,960 --> 00:23:15,320
Speaker 1: at zero it's at e and at seventy five homes

439
00:23:15,359 --> 00:23:18,560
Speaker 1: it's at full, and at thirty seven homes it's roughly half,

440
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:21,159
Speaker 1: then guess what the gauge works. The circuit works, the

441
00:23:21,200 --> 00:23:25,560
Speaker 1: wirings there. We need a sender, all right. If if

442
00:23:25,560 --> 00:23:28,240
Speaker 1: the gauge doesn't move by varying the resistance, and we've

443
00:23:28,359 --> 00:23:31,359
Speaker 1: established that it's a variable resistor style sender, which it

444
00:23:31,400 --> 00:23:33,720
Speaker 1: should be, then we know where the problem is in

445
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:36,960
Speaker 1: wiring or the gage. So before we start trying to

446
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:40,320
Speaker 1: replace everything, let's try and figure out what's bad. It's

447
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:43,960
Speaker 1: it's you know, it still has mechanical laws of physics

448
00:23:44,000 --> 00:23:45,720
Speaker 1: governing it, no matter how big it is. If you

449
00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:49,440
Speaker 1: know what I'm saying, all right now, are the senders

450
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:53,639
Speaker 1: fairly universal in the sense that maybe the same sender

451
00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:56,480
Speaker 1: that I would need on my vehicle was set on

452
00:23:56,520 --> 00:24:00,480
Speaker 1: another vehicle? Are they that universal? Are they pretty models? Acithic?

453
00:24:01,000 --> 00:24:03,960
Speaker 1: They're They're They're universal up to the point of tank

454
00:24:04,040 --> 00:24:07,399
Speaker 1: design and construction. It all depends on what that tank

455
00:24:07,440 --> 00:24:10,520
Speaker 1: came from. If if that's a if that's an F

456
00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:15,000
Speaker 1: three fifty gas tank, then you know a sender from

457
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:20,679
Speaker 1: any F three fifty from that vintage is gonna work, okay,

458
00:24:20,720 --> 00:24:22,840
Speaker 1: And that would be my next question. Is the gas

459
00:24:22,880 --> 00:24:25,679
Speaker 1: tank going to be the same even though it's on

460
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:28,480
Speaker 1: an E three van frame? Is it going to be

461
00:24:28,560 --> 00:24:31,640
Speaker 1: the same uh that it would be on a van

462
00:24:31,720 --> 00:24:33,439
Speaker 1: compared to what it is on the motor home? Is

463
00:24:33,440 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 1: it has it been modified because it's the motor home

464
00:24:35,720 --> 00:24:37,679
Speaker 1: and that I don't know, right and and the only

465
00:24:37,720 --> 00:24:40,000
Speaker 1: way we're gonna know that is I would compare gallantage

466
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:44,520
Speaker 1: and physical dimension. All right, you know, if they've got

467
00:24:44,520 --> 00:24:47,760
Speaker 1: it on a if it's a standard E three fifty frame,

468
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:53,120
Speaker 1: or has it been modified or lengthened. Do you know? Well,

469
00:24:53,160 --> 00:24:56,720
Speaker 1: I would have to assume that it's been modified. Well,

470
00:24:56,760 --> 00:24:58,520
Speaker 1: I don't know. I mean it's a twenty seven ft

471
00:24:58,560 --> 00:25:00,359
Speaker 1: motor home and I couldn't tell you exact where the

472
00:25:00,400 --> 00:25:07,280
Speaker 1: nine I don't think they're quite uh, I don't know

473
00:25:07,320 --> 00:25:09,120
Speaker 1: how long they would be. You know what, there's there's

474
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,560
Speaker 1: a case for Wikipedia. Go go Google search and look

475
00:25:11,600 --> 00:25:14,720
Speaker 1: up wheelbase and and and see what they come up with.

476
00:25:15,200 --> 00:25:19,199
Speaker 1: But my my point becomes, got to figure out what's broken.

477
00:25:19,400 --> 00:25:22,360
Speaker 1: If you can get the gauge to work all right,

478
00:25:23,119 --> 00:25:26,720
Speaker 1: um by by putting a variable resistor in there, and

479
00:25:26,760 --> 00:25:28,840
Speaker 1: you can and you know the circuits good, then we

480
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:30,160
Speaker 1: know it's in the tank and then we can wait

481
00:25:30,160 --> 00:25:32,719
Speaker 1: after the sender. Can you get to the cinder at

482
00:25:32,720 --> 00:25:36,439
Speaker 1: the top of the tank without having to lower the tank? No?

483
00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:39,400
Speaker 1: From what I understand, and I had a certified mechanic

484
00:25:39,440 --> 00:25:42,199
Speaker 1: at a Ford dealership, tell me all these things. In

485
00:25:42,320 --> 00:25:45,840
Speaker 1: order to do that, you have to drop the tank. Yeah, okay,

486
00:25:45,920 --> 00:25:48,360
Speaker 1: so then what we want to do is because I'm

487
00:25:48,359 --> 00:25:50,639
Speaker 1: getting lazy as I get older. Um, I want to

488
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:52,760
Speaker 1: pull the wire off. There's gonna be a single wire

489
00:25:52,800 --> 00:25:56,359
Speaker 1: going to the top of the tank to to you know,

490
00:25:56,480 --> 00:25:59,359
Speaker 1: feel resistance. All they're doing is it's just it's just

491
00:26:00,040 --> 00:26:03,800
Speaker 1: there's a magnetic field with applied voltage at the gage. Okay,

492
00:26:04,160 --> 00:26:07,840
Speaker 1: there's there's a resistance value on the sender in the tank,

493
00:26:08,560 --> 00:26:11,959
Speaker 1: all right. As it varies resistance and pulling the signal

494
00:26:12,040 --> 00:26:15,960
Speaker 1: to ground more or less, it changes the magnetic field

495
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,159
Speaker 1: pull on the gage of the dashboard and makes the

496
00:26:18,240 --> 00:26:20,880
Speaker 1: need to go from E to F. That's all it is.

497
00:26:21,160 --> 00:26:22,840
Speaker 1: That's the way it's worked on everything, whether it's a

498
00:26:22,840 --> 00:26:26,800
Speaker 1: fifty five Chevy and eighty six motor home or Ford whatever.

499
00:26:27,320 --> 00:26:31,480
Speaker 1: All right, so you know, first things first, take it somewhere,

500
00:26:31,560 --> 00:26:34,480
Speaker 1: take it to somebody. Hey, can you diagnose the gas gauge?

501
00:26:34,920 --> 00:26:37,200
Speaker 1: All right? Can you diagnose this gas gauge the way

502
00:26:37,200 --> 00:26:40,280
Speaker 1: you diagnose a gas gauge on any car of this vintage.

503
00:26:40,280 --> 00:26:42,160
Speaker 1: I'm not worried about the fact that it's a motor home.

504
00:26:42,640 --> 00:26:44,560
Speaker 1: Let him come back to you and say, yeah, it's

505
00:26:44,560 --> 00:26:46,439
Speaker 1: a sending unit. Now, if you could get the sender

506
00:26:46,480 --> 00:26:48,600
Speaker 1: out of the tank. You could you could tell whether

507
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:50,560
Speaker 1: or not the sender is any good just using of

508
00:26:50,920 --> 00:26:54,359
Speaker 1: a digital voltomemeter measuring resistance, doing a sweep test of

509
00:26:54,400 --> 00:26:58,120
Speaker 1: the sender. All right, did you ever did you ever

510
00:26:58,320 --> 00:27:00,840
Speaker 1: have I'm trying to think, do you ever have slot

511
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:04,800
Speaker 1: cars as a kid? Okay, so you know there was

512
00:27:04,800 --> 00:27:07,159
Speaker 1: those little commutator motors in there with the brushes, and

513
00:27:07,320 --> 00:27:08,879
Speaker 1: you know they would spin around and make contact with

514
00:27:08,920 --> 00:27:11,160
Speaker 1: the armature and all that. Well, you could you could

515
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:13,040
Speaker 1: you could you know, you ever do a resistance check

516
00:27:13,080 --> 00:27:15,520
Speaker 1: where you can look at the resistance across the brushes

517
00:27:15,520 --> 00:27:17,920
Speaker 1: and spin the armature around and you would look to

518
00:27:17,960 --> 00:27:19,960
Speaker 1: see do you have a bad spot on the commutator

519
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:22,080
Speaker 1: do you have a rough spot that the motor is

520
00:27:22,119 --> 00:27:24,560
Speaker 1: not spinning as smooth and easy as it should. It was.

521
00:27:24,600 --> 00:27:27,080
Speaker 1: It was a sweep test of a sort. Right. You

522
00:27:27,119 --> 00:27:28,720
Speaker 1: can do the same thing with the You can do

523
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,119
Speaker 1: the same thing with the sender. It's just gonna have

524
00:27:31,320 --> 00:27:34,520
Speaker 1: a toilet bowl style float attached to it, and there's

525
00:27:34,520 --> 00:27:36,280
Speaker 1: gonna be a sensor on the other end that has

526
00:27:36,280 --> 00:27:38,720
Speaker 1: a sweep to it. Here's here's a resistance value of

527
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:41,320
Speaker 1: zero is a resistance value of seventy five, and as

528
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:42,920
Speaker 1: you move it up and down, it's going to change

529
00:27:42,920 --> 00:27:45,919
Speaker 1: the resistance on the meter. You could sweep test the sensor.

530
00:27:46,359 --> 00:27:48,879
Speaker 1: You might even find that there's just a sentiment build

531
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaker 1: up on the face or the foil of the resistor

532
00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:56,240
Speaker 1: value and cleaning it with some approved electrical cleaner will

533
00:27:56,400 --> 00:27:59,040
Speaker 1: cause that resistance value to come back to back to market.

534
00:27:59,400 --> 00:28:01,879
Speaker 1: I wouldn't be afraid of this. I really wouldn't, Shane.

535
00:28:02,119 --> 00:28:03,560
Speaker 1: I think with a little bit of knowledge and a

536
00:28:03,560 --> 00:28:05,879
Speaker 1: little bit of elbow grease, getting the tank out it's

537
00:28:05,880 --> 00:28:08,280
Speaker 1: gonna be the biggest problem. But as far as diagnosing

538
00:28:08,359 --> 00:28:09,920
Speaker 1: what the gauge is, you know, whether it's the gauge

539
00:28:09,960 --> 00:28:12,280
Speaker 1: the center of the wiring, I think that's pretty easy

540
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:14,679
Speaker 1: and simple to do. Go through those things. I'm up

541
00:28:14,680 --> 00:28:17,320
Speaker 1: against the clock, babe. If you need more information, email

542
00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,560
Speaker 1: me Ron at card Doctor show dot com. I'll do

543
00:28:19,600 --> 00:28:20,959
Speaker 1: what I can for you. But I bet we can

544
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,080
Speaker 1: fix this all right, Take good care. I'm not on

545
00:28:23,080 --> 00:28:25,080
Speaker 1: any of the Car Doctor. We're back right after this.

546
00:28:32,760 --> 00:28:34,399
Speaker 1: Welcome back. We're on any of the Car Doctor. I

547
00:28:34,440 --> 00:28:35,720
Speaker 1: want to talk to you a little bit about Earth

548
00:28:35,760 --> 00:28:37,639
Speaker 1: Day you know, it was just Earth Day recently and

549
00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:41,360
Speaker 1: we're talking about the environment, and um, the automobile does

550
00:28:41,480 --> 00:28:44,520
Speaker 1: obviously have such a big impact on the environment. And

551
00:28:44,800 --> 00:28:47,360
Speaker 1: you know, I can tell you from running a repair shop. UM,

552
00:28:47,640 --> 00:28:49,800
Speaker 1: it's difficult at times. Right, You're you're always trying to

553
00:28:49,880 --> 00:28:51,440
Speaker 1: keep the place clean. You're always trying to do the

554
00:28:51,520 --> 00:28:53,680
Speaker 1: right thing, and um, you've always got to think about,

555
00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:57,120
Speaker 1: you know, getting rid of, uh, the metals, and and

556
00:28:57,120 --> 00:29:00,760
Speaker 1: and and the chemicals and the waste oil and and

557
00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:05,040
Speaker 1: and batteries. Right. Um. Johnson Controls has taken some major steps,

558
00:29:05,520 --> 00:29:08,280
Speaker 1: uh in recycling batteries. They've they've come out with the

559
00:29:08,320 --> 00:29:10,040
Speaker 1: press release and I'll just go over and talk about

560
00:29:10,040 --> 00:29:12,960
Speaker 1: a little bit um. They point out to help consumers

561
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:16,200
Speaker 1: find a nearby facility to recycle used vehicle, boat, motorcycle,

562
00:29:16,600 --> 00:29:20,360
Speaker 1: or long garden batteries, Johnson Controls, the world's largest manufacturer

563
00:29:20,800 --> 00:29:23,920
Speaker 1: and recycler of vehicle batteries, is encouraged consumers to visit

564
00:29:23,920 --> 00:29:28,720
Speaker 1: the website www. Recycling My battery dot com. Vehicle batteries

565
00:29:28,720 --> 00:29:32,520
Speaker 1: are probably far the world's most recycled consumer product, says

566
00:29:32,840 --> 00:29:36,120
Speaker 1: Ray Schamanski, Vice president and general manager after Market Johnson

567
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:40,480
Speaker 1: Controls power solutions up to standard vehicle batteries can be

568
00:29:40,560 --> 00:29:45,000
Speaker 1: recycled and reused up to of a standard vehicle battery.

569
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:46,840
Speaker 1: I'm sorry of a stand so they're saying, I didn't

570
00:29:46,840 --> 00:29:52,120
Speaker 1: know that of a standard vehicle battery, the componentry can

571
00:29:52,160 --> 00:29:55,520
Speaker 1: be recycled and reused to make new batteries or other products. Today,

572
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:59,920
Speaker 1: all used vehicle batteries are collected and recycled in the US. Still,

573
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,480
Speaker 1: every year more than one million used batteries are not recycled.

574
00:30:03,720 --> 00:30:07,400
Speaker 1: And that's a shame, you know. I often think because

575
00:30:07,480 --> 00:30:10,320
Speaker 1: we'll take scrap. We we scrap all the rotors, all

576
00:30:10,360 --> 00:30:13,040
Speaker 1: the steel from the shop, um, all the exhaust, whatever

577
00:30:13,040 --> 00:30:15,520
Speaker 1: we can to. Three times a year we'll take a

578
00:30:15,600 --> 00:30:18,320
Speaker 1: ride down to the scrap yard on a quiet Friday

579
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:20,880
Speaker 1: and we'll drop off scrap. And I can't tell you

580
00:30:20,920 --> 00:30:25,400
Speaker 1: how many batteries that we see down there that I

581
00:30:25,400 --> 00:30:27,240
Speaker 1: don't know if I don't know, just lying around in

582
00:30:27,280 --> 00:30:29,320
Speaker 1: the open like that as a proper recycling you know,

583
00:30:29,320 --> 00:30:32,760
Speaker 1: a recycling center. Um, they're taking the batteries and they're

584
00:30:32,800 --> 00:30:34,720
Speaker 1: checking them in, they're breaking them down. I'm not quite

585
00:30:34,760 --> 00:30:36,880
Speaker 1: sure what they do with them in a in a

586
00:30:36,960 --> 00:30:39,600
Speaker 1: scrapyard in per Se. I don't think they're properly recycling,

587
00:30:39,640 --> 00:30:42,920
Speaker 1: but um, quite a bit, quite a bit. Last year,

588
00:30:42,960 --> 00:30:46,120
Speaker 1: more than sixty thou people visited the company's website, recycling

589
00:30:46,160 --> 00:30:49,120
Speaker 1: my battery dot com to learn more about battery recycling.

590
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:53,200
Speaker 1: Johnson Controls has made a commitment to design, make, transport

591
00:30:53,200 --> 00:30:55,920
Speaker 1: and recycled batteries in the safest, most sustainable way. When

592
00:30:55,920 --> 00:31:00,000
Speaker 1: building a new battery, the company uses up to recycled materials.

593
00:31:00,160 --> 00:31:03,680
Speaker 1: And you've got a figure with electric cars, right, you know,

594
00:31:03,840 --> 00:31:07,120
Speaker 1: batteries and electric cars, hybrids and and where we're going that,

595
00:31:07,360 --> 00:31:10,680
Speaker 1: you know, the need to recycle batteries, you know, on

596
00:31:10,720 --> 00:31:14,440
Speaker 1: a continuing basis is only going to grow. Johnson Controls

597
00:31:14,480 --> 00:31:17,400
Speaker 1: recycled its first vehicle battery and Mikey, you want to

598
00:31:17,400 --> 00:31:19,360
Speaker 1: take a year, what's I guess as to what year

599
00:31:20,200 --> 00:31:22,680
Speaker 1: You're never gonna get this? I was shocked to read this.

600
00:31:22,760 --> 00:31:26,120
Speaker 1: Johnson Controls recycled the first vehicle battery in what year?

601
00:31:27,720 --> 00:31:30,040
Speaker 1: Can I get a hint? Um? Yeah, it was some

602
00:31:30,120 --> 00:31:32,800
Speaker 1: time in the last decade or last century. I'm sorry,

603
00:31:35,880 --> 00:31:40,200
Speaker 1: four I was gonna get well, no, it's not related

604
00:31:40,240 --> 00:31:43,360
Speaker 1: to Tom's birthday. Today. The company uses it's one years

605
00:31:43,400 --> 00:31:45,800
Speaker 1: of experience to increase recycling rates in the development of

606
00:31:45,840 --> 00:31:48,960
Speaker 1: new recycling systems around the around the world. More information

Speaker 1: seen it. And the value of community is really coming

638
00:33:21,040 --> 00:33:23,400
Speaker 1: full circle and you can see it in a lot

639
00:33:23,440 --> 00:33:25,960
Speaker 1: of the organizations that are being set up for mechanics

640
00:33:25,960 --> 00:33:29,440
Speaker 1: to help mechanics. Real fixed sure track is the fastest

641
00:33:29,440 --> 00:33:32,520
Speaker 1: path to fixed, as Mitchell states, because it really does

642
00:33:32,560 --> 00:33:35,200
Speaker 1: help put technicians together and all of a sudden, instead

643
00:33:35,200 --> 00:33:36,920
Speaker 1: of your one guy in the shop or two guys

644
00:33:36,920 --> 00:33:39,760
Speaker 1: in the shop working on a problem, now you're five

645
00:33:40,200 --> 00:33:42,040
Speaker 1: guys in the shop working on the problem and that's

646
00:33:42,040 --> 00:33:45,120
Speaker 1: what the real fix. Shure track path of repair is

647
00:33:45,160 --> 00:33:47,800
Speaker 1: all about. An intermittent issue. Let a technician on a

648
00:33:47,880 --> 00:33:50,280
Speaker 1: journey to find the actual issue. The short track community

649
00:33:50,320 --> 00:33:52,400
Speaker 1: comes to the rescue of the article points out shirt

650
00:33:52,400 --> 00:33:55,000
Speaker 1: Track community member Christopher had a two thousand eleven Dodge

651
00:33:55,080 --> 00:33:57,400
Speaker 1: Journey in the shop that had an intermittent problem with

652
00:33:57,440 --> 00:33:59,720
Speaker 1: the transmission if they're trying several repairs. They posed the

653
00:33:59,760 --> 00:34:02,200
Speaker 1: question to the community. With the help of fellow community

654
00:34:02,200 --> 00:34:04,080
Speaker 1: member James and others, they were able to resolve the

655
00:34:04,080 --> 00:34:08,000
Speaker 1: issue quickly. The following fixed summarizes the interaction between members

656
00:34:08,040 --> 00:34:09,640
Speaker 1: of the community that led to the solution. It was

657
00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:12,879
Speaker 1: a two thousand eleven Dodge Journey. The vehicle went into

658
00:34:12,920 --> 00:34:15,560
Speaker 1: limp mode intermittently, meaning that there was an issue, or

659
00:34:15,600 --> 00:34:17,799
Speaker 1: so it thought, there was an issue with the transmission

660
00:34:18,080 --> 00:34:21,120
Speaker 1: that wouldn't allow the transmission the ship properly to vehicle

661
00:34:21,120 --> 00:34:22,800
Speaker 1: one into limp mode and set a P double O

662
00:34:22,880 --> 00:34:26,520
Speaker 1: seven sixty five or P zero seven fault code. It

663
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:29,280
Speaker 1: happened that idle are going slow, turn stop sign, et cetera.

664
00:34:29,719 --> 00:34:32,960
Speaker 1: After going through several diagnostic routines and checking everything that

665
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:36,680
Speaker 1: they could possibly check. After having several conversations with members

666
00:34:36,680 --> 00:34:39,520
Speaker 1: in the group, it was brought up to check all

667
00:34:39,560 --> 00:34:43,600
Speaker 1: the connectors and all the plugs in that particular circuit,

668
00:34:43,600 --> 00:34:46,280
Speaker 1: and sure enough, one of the main wiring harness plugs

669
00:34:46,280 --> 00:34:49,760
Speaker 1: was loose. It hadn't been reinstalled properly on a previous repair.

670
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:52,680
Speaker 1: Plugging un in and firmly seated, it fixed the car.

671
00:34:52,960 --> 00:34:56,600
Speaker 1: Sometimes simple is the way to go, and simple fixes

672
00:34:56,680 --> 00:34:58,520
Speaker 1: the car until the next time I'm on a nating

673
00:34:58,560 --> 00:35:02,319
Speaker 1: the car doctor reminding you good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless.

674
00:35:02,360 --> 00:35:11,600
Speaker 1: Seam
