1
00:00:01,040 --> 00:00:04,920
Speaker 1: Ron Ananian gets staggering to me, the way we waste

2
00:00:05,360 --> 00:00:07,480
Speaker 1: fifty to sixty thousand dollars worth of portmore.

3
00:00:07,600 --> 00:00:12,000
Speaker 2: Well, it's not big to hold me on, you team

4
00:00:12,760 --> 00:00:18,560
Speaker 2: under the Sometimes it's hard to believe the three fifteen

5
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:22,680
Speaker 2: the Car Doctor. Just to be certain when we're done,

6
00:00:22,720 --> 00:00:25,200
Speaker 2: if we're going to begin diagnosing this, take a magic

7
00:00:25,280 --> 00:00:27,160
Speaker 2: marker right, one on the back of one, two on

8
00:00:27,280 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 2: the back of the other, and just notice it going

9
00:00:29,160 --> 00:00:31,480
Speaker 2: forward all right, this way. This way we'll know for

10
00:00:31,560 --> 00:00:32,640
Speaker 2: sure there's no confusion.

11
00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,440
Speaker 1: Welcome to the radio home of ron Ananium, the Car Doctor.

12
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:39,839
Speaker 1: Since nineteen ninety one, this is where car owners the

13
00:00:39,920 --> 00:00:44,200
Speaker 1: world overturned to for their definitive opinion on automotive repair.

14
00:00:44,680 --> 00:00:47,440
Speaker 1: If your mechanics giving you a busy signal, pick up

15
00:00:47,479 --> 00:00:51,239
Speaker 1: the phone and call in. The garage doors are open, but.

16
00:00:51,320 --> 00:00:53,360
Speaker 2: I am here to take your call at eighty five

17
00:00:53,479 --> 00:00:56,320
Speaker 2: five five six ninety nine hundred and now he.

18
00:00:58,880 --> 00:00:59,200
Speaker 1: Running.

19
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:02,560
Speaker 2: If someone asked me this week, if I had to

20
00:01:02,640 --> 00:01:05,560
Speaker 2: do it all over again, would I and you know,

21
00:01:05,880 --> 00:01:07,600
Speaker 2: I looked at them and I said, what do you mean?

22
00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:11,039
Speaker 2: And they said, well, you know, would you fix cars again?

23
00:01:12,400 --> 00:01:12,600
Speaker 3: Yeah?

24
00:01:12,640 --> 00:01:16,000
Speaker 2: I would, you know, because it's not like work to me.

25
00:01:17,040 --> 00:01:19,360
Speaker 2: I had to put a thermostat in the house. Matter

26
00:01:19,400 --> 00:01:25,160
Speaker 2: of fact, this morning today the upstairs thermostat broke. And

27
00:01:25,920 --> 00:01:29,200
Speaker 2: you know, you can apply a lot of automotive skill

28
00:01:29,640 --> 00:01:33,240
Speaker 2: to doing stuff around the house and it's not so scary.

29
00:01:33,280 --> 00:01:35,520
Speaker 2: It was five wires. I had to deal with. Five wires. Wow,

30
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:39,920
Speaker 2: five wires are the thermostat? Oh my god? Right, Try

31
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:42,319
Speaker 2: looking at a computer with one hundred and sixty wires

32
00:01:42,520 --> 00:01:47,000
Speaker 2: and find the five grounds, the four positives, you know,

33
00:01:47,480 --> 00:01:50,200
Speaker 2: the three data bus lines mixed into a wiring harness.

34
00:01:50,240 --> 00:01:52,640
Speaker 2: It's wedged somewhere under a firewall four inches from an

35
00:01:52,640 --> 00:01:55,120
Speaker 2: exhaust manifold, and try to work on that when it's

36
00:01:55,200 --> 00:02:00,160
Speaker 2: warm in July. This wasn't bad. What I do all

37
00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:00,680
Speaker 2: over again?

38
00:02:00,880 --> 00:02:01,080
Speaker 3: Yeah?

39
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,920
Speaker 2: I would? You know, the thermostat was kind of boring.

40
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:06,680
Speaker 2: I thought to myself. I said, God, if I had

41
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:08,320
Speaker 2: to do something this simple every day, I wouldn't know

42
00:02:08,320 --> 00:02:11,280
Speaker 2: what to do with myself. There's you know, there's no stress,

43
00:02:11,360 --> 00:02:16,679
Speaker 2: there's no it's just different. Cars are just different to me.

44
00:02:18,080 --> 00:02:20,040
Speaker 2: And the person said to me. Then they asked me,

45
00:02:20,080 --> 00:02:21,680
Speaker 2: they said, so if you had to do it all

46
00:02:21,720 --> 00:02:23,680
Speaker 2: over again, and you had that opportunity and you were

47
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:26,760
Speaker 2: gonna fix cars and you knew it. What would you

48
00:02:26,800 --> 00:02:30,079
Speaker 2: tell your younger self? Oh my god, I mean that's

49
00:02:30,120 --> 00:02:31,560
Speaker 2: like a whole you know, what would you tell your

50
00:02:31,600 --> 00:02:34,400
Speaker 2: younger self if you could go back twenty or thirty years?

51
00:02:36,200 --> 00:02:36,519
Speaker 3: I don't know.

52
00:02:36,600 --> 00:02:41,400
Speaker 2: I must have done it right, I You know, if

53
00:02:41,400 --> 00:02:43,200
Speaker 2: you could go back in time and alter the course

54
00:02:43,240 --> 00:02:45,160
Speaker 2: of the country, where would you start, right? You know,

55
00:02:45,200 --> 00:02:47,760
Speaker 2: where's that pivotal moment? Where's that pivotal moment in your life?

56
00:02:47,919 --> 00:02:50,560
Speaker 2: What would you tell your younger self? I talked to

57
00:02:50,639 --> 00:02:54,360
Speaker 2: a GM tech this week, young fellah. Judging by his voice,

58
00:02:54,360 --> 00:02:56,399
Speaker 2: I don't know him by face yet, but I will

59
00:02:57,280 --> 00:02:59,959
Speaker 2: judging by his voice. He's probably late twenties, early three,

60
00:03:01,160 --> 00:03:03,600
Speaker 2: and he is a GM Master Tech at a local

61
00:03:03,680 --> 00:03:08,000
Speaker 2: GM dealership. And we got to chatting about, you know,

62
00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:10,600
Speaker 2: what's the most common thing he's seeing in the shop

63
00:03:10,720 --> 00:03:15,400
Speaker 2: right now? Well, unfortunately for him, unfortunately for General Motors,

64
00:03:15,400 --> 00:03:17,919
Speaker 2: the most common thing. He's their engine guy. He's doing

65
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:21,200
Speaker 2: engine swaps all day, every day, week in, week out.

66
00:03:22,520 --> 00:03:24,880
Speaker 2: And I said, they have enough business for that. There's enough.

67
00:03:25,040 --> 00:03:27,919
Speaker 2: I said, oh yeah. Evidently the five point three leader

68
00:03:28,040 --> 00:03:30,239
Speaker 2: GM act of fuel Management motor in the six point

69
00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:33,799
Speaker 2: two Leader, GM non AFM, but just the six point

70
00:03:33,840 --> 00:03:37,880
Speaker 2: two Leader. Evidently they've got problems, to the point that

71
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:41,720
Speaker 2: replacement engine assemblies are on restriction. You can only purchase

72
00:03:41,840 --> 00:03:45,040
Speaker 2: so many, to the point that the young fellow was

73
00:03:45,120 --> 00:03:47,640
Speaker 2: telling me that he recently swapped a six point two

74
00:03:47,720 --> 00:03:49,680
Speaker 2: Leader in a pickup truck and it didn't make it

75
00:03:49,800 --> 00:03:52,600
Speaker 2: out the door of the dealership. It was rolling past

76
00:03:52,640 --> 00:03:55,560
Speaker 2: the parks department and the engine seized up again. Evidently

77
00:03:55,640 --> 00:04:00,440
Speaker 2: GM six twos a have an engine issue. And I

78
00:04:00,480 --> 00:04:02,280
Speaker 2: asked him, I said, do you enjoy the work? And

79
00:04:02,320 --> 00:04:04,480
Speaker 2: he says, well, it's not what I got into this for.

80
00:04:05,160 --> 00:04:07,360
Speaker 2: He said, it's very repetitive. He goes the pay is

81
00:04:07,480 --> 00:04:10,360
Speaker 2: pretty good, but he says it's backbreaking and I can't

82
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:12,840
Speaker 2: see myself doing it for another thirty years. He said,

83
00:04:13,080 --> 00:04:17,320
Speaker 2: it'll wear me out, which it will. And then I

84
00:04:17,400 --> 00:04:19,840
Speaker 2: got back to that thinking about that note after the conversation,

85
00:04:19,920 --> 00:04:21,960
Speaker 2: after the phone call, I said, so there's that note

86
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:26,080
Speaker 2: to my younger self. What would I tell myself? I

87
00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,320
Speaker 2: would tell myself what I always did. I always knew

88
00:04:28,680 --> 00:04:31,160
Speaker 2: that the future of voter repair was thinking with your

89
00:04:31,200 --> 00:04:33,360
Speaker 2: mind that you could you could make more money and

90
00:04:33,520 --> 00:04:35,960
Speaker 2: get further ahead with your mind than your back. Your back.

91
00:04:36,440 --> 00:04:38,720
Speaker 2: When you're young, your back is so strong, but your

92
00:04:38,760 --> 00:04:41,480
Speaker 2: back wears out as you get older. Right, You've you've

93
00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:44,599
Speaker 2: got to be like that. You know, the bull standing

94
00:04:44,720 --> 00:04:46,960
Speaker 2: on the hill looking down at the cows. And I

95
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:48,880
Speaker 2: can't tell you that joke on radio, but you can

96
00:04:49,360 --> 00:04:52,640
Speaker 2: go find that. It's on the Sopranos somewhere. And you know,

97
00:04:52,760 --> 00:04:55,720
Speaker 2: the young bull and the old bull talking. And you've

98
00:04:55,720 --> 00:04:57,120
Speaker 2: got to be smart. You've got to be like an

99
00:04:57,160 --> 00:04:59,760
Speaker 2: old bull. You've got to you know, you know, you walk,

100
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Speaker 2: don't run. You stop and think, You plan and predict

101
00:05:04,080 --> 00:05:07,039
Speaker 2: your moves as best you can, and you don't react

102
00:05:07,120 --> 00:05:09,760
Speaker 2: to people. I think that would probably be the key

103
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:12,160
Speaker 2: thing that I would tell my younger self. Look, it's

104
00:05:12,839 --> 00:05:15,200
Speaker 2: common sense, right. What would I tell my younger self, Well,

105
00:05:15,800 --> 00:05:19,320
Speaker 2: keep going to school, keep learning everything you can learn.

106
00:05:19,880 --> 00:05:22,400
Speaker 2: Be the guy in the shop that's indispensable. Be the

107
00:05:22,480 --> 00:05:25,640
Speaker 2: guy in the town that's indispensable. Be the guy that

108
00:05:25,760 --> 00:05:28,920
Speaker 2: they can bring something that no one else can fix.

109
00:05:29,600 --> 00:05:31,840
Speaker 2: Be the guy that can flash computers, Be the guy

110
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:34,960
Speaker 2: that does the electrical be the guy that somebody brings

111
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,400
Speaker 2: you a car that's a pile of wires and you

112
00:05:37,520 --> 00:05:42,400
Speaker 2: can sort it out. Be that guy, but understand to

113
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,920
Speaker 2: get to be that guy. It's it's school. It's a discipline,

114
00:05:46,279 --> 00:05:49,080
Speaker 2: and discipline comes into the conversation of what do you

115
00:05:49,200 --> 00:05:53,920
Speaker 2: do every day? Someone asked me a couple of weeks back,

116
00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:56,240
Speaker 2: and I'm still mulling the conversation in my head. Is

117
00:05:56,240 --> 00:05:59,440
Speaker 2: it hard to be a mechanic? No, it isn't. It isn't.

118
00:05:59,480 --> 00:06:03,520
Speaker 2: It's a it's walking in at eight o'clock and knowing

119
00:06:03,560 --> 00:06:06,599
Speaker 2: where your mind is and you're focused, and you're you're

120
00:06:06,640 --> 00:06:09,680
Speaker 2: on task, and if you're off task, you got a problem.

121
00:06:11,400 --> 00:06:13,760
Speaker 2: You know. We we saw an awful lot of cars

122
00:06:13,800 --> 00:06:15,840
Speaker 2: in the last couple of weeks. I was just telling

123
00:06:15,880 --> 00:06:18,679
Speaker 2: Tom before the show business is crazy. We're crazy busy,

124
00:06:19,680 --> 00:06:22,360
Speaker 2: and we're doing repairs and we're spending money on cars

125
00:06:22,400 --> 00:06:23,920
Speaker 2: that I never thought I would spend, that I would

126
00:06:23,960 --> 00:06:28,400
Speaker 2: never see. You know, four tires, four breaks on one

127
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:32,200
Speaker 2: hundred and eighty thousand mile twenty fourteen Lexus, you know,

128
00:06:32,520 --> 00:06:35,080
Speaker 2: three grand, thirty five hundred dollars with an alignment, some service,

129
00:06:35,120 --> 00:06:37,440
Speaker 2: and a bunch of other things. Four grand whatever it was.

130
00:06:38,640 --> 00:06:40,000
Speaker 2: You know, a lot of money, right, But yeah, no,

131
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,920
Speaker 2: not really a lot of money, because that replacement car

132
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:46,680
Speaker 2: is seventy five thousand dollars now and we just put

133
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:51,240
Speaker 2: over ten grand into a twenty eleven Lexus closer to

134
00:06:51,320 --> 00:06:56,360
Speaker 2: twelve catalytic converters and exhaust and radiator and condenser and

135
00:06:56,520 --> 00:07:01,400
Speaker 2: service and fluids. And it was I had to convince

136
00:07:01,480 --> 00:07:03,240
Speaker 2: the guys that Lexus that I really wanted the parts.

137
00:07:03,279 --> 00:07:04,840
Speaker 2: They're like, no, nobody's going to spend this kind of

138
00:07:04,880 --> 00:07:07,440
Speaker 2: money on a twelve year old car. And I said yeah.

139
00:07:07,880 --> 00:07:09,600
Speaker 2: They said why, and I said, because he likes the car,

140
00:07:10,200 --> 00:07:14,160
Speaker 2: because the replacement car starts at sixty And frankly, I

141
00:07:14,200 --> 00:07:16,000
Speaker 2: think part of the reason is he's got a good mechanic.

142
00:07:16,080 --> 00:07:18,480
Speaker 2: I know the guy, and he knows the works and

143
00:07:18,600 --> 00:07:20,680
Speaker 2: get done. And yeah, I kind of dig that. I

144
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:24,000
Speaker 2: kind of get that, you know, So no, t younger self,

145
00:07:24,080 --> 00:07:29,040
Speaker 2: be responsible, have pride in your work. You know. I

146
00:07:29,120 --> 00:07:32,320
Speaker 2: worked on a twenty eighteen GMC Canyon pickup truck this week.

147
00:07:32,360 --> 00:07:34,040
Speaker 2: I had to put a radiator and a condenser in

148
00:07:34,120 --> 00:07:37,040
Speaker 2: it because the condenser had a hole in it the

149
00:07:37,080 --> 00:07:39,760
Speaker 2: size of a quarter. When the bumper. The owner had

150
00:07:40,080 --> 00:07:43,080
Speaker 2: had an accident in the city last fall and he

151
00:07:43,120 --> 00:07:45,200
Speaker 2: slid into a poll and it punched a bumper into

152
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,920
Speaker 2: the condenser. And now we were fixing it. And it

153
00:07:49,040 --> 00:07:50,560
Speaker 2: was a long job. As a long repair, it was

154
00:07:50,600 --> 00:07:52,600
Speaker 2: a lot to do. Was it was a tough radiator

155
00:07:52,640 --> 00:07:56,320
Speaker 2: to get radiators around back order. But fortunately my parts

156
00:07:56,360 --> 00:07:59,760
Speaker 2: guys are great. You know, they work really well, and

157
00:08:00,720 --> 00:08:04,480
Speaker 2: they really hustle. They get the job done. And you know,

158
00:08:04,640 --> 00:08:07,080
Speaker 2: I got to put it all together, and I'm putting

159
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:08,680
Speaker 2: it all together, and I'm looking at it. I'm all done,

160
00:08:08,680 --> 00:08:10,080
Speaker 2: and I got the new I got the old bumper

161
00:08:10,160 --> 00:08:11,880
Speaker 2: back on over the new parts because we didn't. You know,

162
00:08:11,960 --> 00:08:14,600
Speaker 2: it's a six year old hundred and twenty thousand miles truck.

163
00:08:14,680 --> 00:08:16,560
Speaker 2: It's it's not cosmetic. It's in and that of New

164
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:19,160
Speaker 2: York City every day. It's getting beat up anyway. But

165
00:08:19,320 --> 00:08:22,720
Speaker 2: you know, no to younger self, do exactly what I did.

166
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:25,600
Speaker 2: I took the license plate off and I hammered it straight.

167
00:08:26,480 --> 00:08:30,000
Speaker 2: You know, I just I couldn't send a complete repair out.

168
00:08:30,040 --> 00:08:31,960
Speaker 2: The door of the license plate was a little mashed up.

169
00:08:32,000 --> 00:08:34,439
Speaker 2: It wasn't terrible. It was legible but you know I

170
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:38,360
Speaker 2: can make it better. And it may sound corny and

171
00:08:38,440 --> 00:08:40,199
Speaker 2: it may sound like an old man talking, but you

172
00:08:40,320 --> 00:08:42,640
Speaker 2: know what, No to younger self, to the younger technicians

173
00:08:42,679 --> 00:08:44,959
Speaker 2: out there. You know, if you want to get ahead,

174
00:08:44,960 --> 00:08:46,440
Speaker 2: if you want to be that guy, if you want

175
00:08:46,480 --> 00:08:49,120
Speaker 2: to be the person that everybody comes to, that everybody

176
00:08:49,200 --> 00:08:50,800
Speaker 2: walks into the shop and they go, yeah, he's the

177
00:08:50,880 --> 00:08:52,960
Speaker 2: stud in the shop. He's the guy that can do anything,

178
00:08:53,000 --> 00:08:54,599
Speaker 2: and we'll do anything, and he's pretty good. If you

179
00:08:54,679 --> 00:08:56,880
Speaker 2: want to be that guy and not just the parts changer,

180
00:08:58,120 --> 00:09:01,640
Speaker 2: be responsible, straight in the bent license plate, take the

181
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:05,800
Speaker 2: extra mile, go that extra inch. It's not going to

182
00:09:05,840 --> 00:09:08,120
Speaker 2: come back to you right away. This isn't McDonald's or

183
00:09:08,120 --> 00:09:11,160
Speaker 2: burger king. It's not fast food. It's a long haul.

184
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,360
Speaker 2: And if you're in it for the long haul, you know,

185
00:09:14,520 --> 00:09:17,800
Speaker 2: when the dust settles ten, fifteen, twenty years from now,

186
00:09:19,160 --> 00:09:20,840
Speaker 2: you're gonna be standing tall and you're gonna be one

187
00:09:20,880 --> 00:09:24,280
Speaker 2: of the few that can fix cars because it's changing quickly.

188
00:09:25,480 --> 00:09:28,600
Speaker 2: Not to younger self, live a long time and enjoy

189
00:09:28,640 --> 00:09:31,800
Speaker 2: it because it's not really work. It's just fixing cars.

190
00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,199
Speaker 2: Just my thoughts as we kick off this hour of

191
00:09:34,240 --> 00:09:36,199
Speaker 2: the car doctor. Here at eight five five five six

192
00:09:36,360 --> 00:09:38,760
Speaker 2: zero nine nine zero zero. IM running ending in the

193
00:09:38,800 --> 00:09:40,599
Speaker 2: car doctor, and I'm coming back the wind up the

194
00:09:40,679 --> 00:09:42,480
Speaker 2: phones right after this. Don't go away.

195
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:01,720
Speaker 4: When you get keep Ron's number handy eight five five

196
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,599
Speaker 4: five six zero nine nine zero zero for when you

197
00:10:04,800 --> 00:10:06,120
Speaker 4: really need advice on your car.

198
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:09,760
Speaker 2: Here's rob by the way, and thanks for sticking around

199
00:10:09,760 --> 00:10:12,560
Speaker 2: and joining us again. I should announce I think within

200
00:10:12,679 --> 00:10:14,240
Speaker 2: two weeks, and I haven't even told Tom this, so

201
00:10:14,240 --> 00:10:16,000
Speaker 2: I can't wait to see the expression on his face.

202
00:10:16,520 --> 00:10:19,160
Speaker 2: But within two weeks they're supposed to be putting a

203
00:10:19,240 --> 00:10:22,199
Speaker 2: camera in studio, so the whole world is going to

204
00:10:22,240 --> 00:10:24,079
Speaker 2: get to see my smiling face as we do the

205
00:10:24,200 --> 00:10:26,680
Speaker 2: radio show. That's the rumor. I haven't confirmed it yet, but.

206
00:10:28,160 --> 00:10:28,600
Speaker 5: Had enough.

207
00:10:28,840 --> 00:10:29,880
Speaker 4: I have to look at you.

208
00:10:30,280 --> 00:10:32,559
Speaker 2: I knew you would enjoy it. Gee, I knew you

209
00:10:32,600 --> 00:10:35,760
Speaker 2: would enjoy that. You're going to ruin lunch for a

210
00:10:35,840 --> 00:10:37,480
Speaker 2: lot of people. Well, a lot of people are gonna

211
00:10:37,480 --> 00:10:39,040
Speaker 2: be happy though they get to see the smiling face.

212
00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:40,640
Speaker 2: We're gonna give you a look behind the scenes of

213
00:10:40,640 --> 00:10:42,080
Speaker 2: the Wizard of Oz and you're gonna get to see

214
00:10:42,080 --> 00:10:43,880
Speaker 2: the Wizard at work. But they'll be up on our

215
00:10:43,960 --> 00:10:46,880
Speaker 2: Instagram page because we're up on Instagram now just go

216
00:10:46,960 --> 00:10:49,120
Speaker 2: look for at Ron and Inien. Yeah, I'm gonna wait

217
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:50,760
Speaker 2: until you do some of the things I see you

218
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:53,120
Speaker 2: do when the public's now sees you do. And boy

219
00:10:53,160 --> 00:10:55,520
Speaker 2: am I gonna laugh. It's just great stuff, isn't it?

220
00:10:55,840 --> 00:10:58,079
Speaker 2: So can you manage to punch the phone button there

221
00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:00,959
Speaker 2: and bring up and let's go talk to Victor in Oregon? Victor,

222
00:11:01,160 --> 00:11:04,880
Speaker 2: welcome to the card doctor, sir, How can I help? Well?

223
00:11:04,960 --> 00:11:06,520
Speaker 4: Thank you very well, appreciate you.

224
00:11:07,040 --> 00:11:09,760
Speaker 2: Yes, sir, I've got a.

225
00:11:11,240 --> 00:11:14,960
Speaker 4: Ninety eight town in country Alix. I three point eight later.

226
00:11:16,800 --> 00:11:21,960
Speaker 4: It's getting me trouble with it doesn't want to stay running.

227
00:11:22,240 --> 00:11:22,560
Speaker 2: Okay.

228
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:30,880
Speaker 4: It started a couple of years ago. You go somewhere

229
00:11:30,920 --> 00:11:34,320
Speaker 4: a park, come back out, started and it would start

230
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:37,079
Speaker 4: up for about three seconds and then die, right, did

231
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:38,880
Speaker 4: that a couple of times, and then it wouldn't start

232
00:11:38,920 --> 00:11:44,560
Speaker 4: at all. We got it back home, and every couple

233
00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:45,839
Speaker 4: of days I go out and try to start it,

234
00:11:46,960 --> 00:11:50,520
Speaker 4: and sometimes it would start run for a while, run fine,

235
00:11:51,640 --> 00:11:53,160
Speaker 4: and then you turn it off and started again and

236
00:11:53,240 --> 00:11:58,120
Speaker 4: then won't restart. It's been driving me crazy.

237
00:11:58,520 --> 00:12:00,160
Speaker 2: So you haven't you haven't driven the car in a

238
00:12:00,200 --> 00:12:01,959
Speaker 2: couple of years, or you're still driving it. You're just

239
00:12:02,040 --> 00:12:02,800
Speaker 2: cautious where you go.

240
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:06,680
Speaker 4: I haven't red a couple of years, all.

241
00:12:06,640 --> 00:12:10,679
Speaker 2: Right, So I can you can you catch it in

242
00:12:10,760 --> 00:12:14,200
Speaker 2: the act of doing it, like like if you went

243
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:15,880
Speaker 2: out there right now, would it not start or it

244
00:12:15,920 --> 00:12:16,360
Speaker 2: would start?

245
00:12:16,400 --> 00:12:22,880
Speaker 4: Install For the last couple of weeks it's stayed running.

246
00:12:23,040 --> 00:12:25,880
Speaker 4: But I've had the battery disconnected the whole time, and

247
00:12:26,600 --> 00:12:27,480
Speaker 4: we hooked the battery.

248
00:12:28,280 --> 00:12:32,880
Speaker 2: All right, So let's let's talk basic diagnosis and then

249
00:12:32,880 --> 00:12:35,080
Speaker 2: I'll tell you where I think the problem is, all right,

250
00:12:35,120 --> 00:12:36,400
Speaker 2: because I don't want to. I don't want to. I

251
00:12:36,440 --> 00:12:39,320
Speaker 2: don't want to eliminate the obvious stuff. Right. Of course

252
00:12:39,360 --> 00:12:40,840
Speaker 2: I want to know what fuel of course I want

253
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,320
Speaker 2: to know what fuel pressure is. Right, you know, we've

254
00:12:44,320 --> 00:12:45,839
Speaker 2: got to get somewhere along the way. We've got to

255
00:12:45,840 --> 00:12:47,319
Speaker 2: get a fuel pressure gauge on it. Does it have

256
00:12:47,520 --> 00:12:49,319
Speaker 2: does it have adequate fuel pressure? Does it have what

257
00:12:49,320 --> 00:12:51,880
Speaker 2: it's supposed to have? All right? And you know I

258
00:12:51,920 --> 00:12:54,560
Speaker 2: could tell you the spec, but frankly, if the car

259
00:12:54,679 --> 00:12:58,199
Speaker 2: does start and run, sometimes that's your magic number. If

260
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:00,719
Speaker 2: you know it's around fifty two ps i, thirty five

261
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:03,400
Speaker 2: psi or whatever it is, that point in between. Whatever

262
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:05,319
Speaker 2: the number is for that car, as long as it's running,

263
00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:07,400
Speaker 2: you can drive it. Guess what that's good fuel pressure?

264
00:13:07,440 --> 00:13:09,520
Speaker 2: So that's your number. But you know, we want to

265
00:13:09,559 --> 00:13:12,679
Speaker 2: know when the car doesn't start, does it have fuel pressure?

266
00:13:13,679 --> 00:13:17,120
Speaker 2: When the car when the car doesn't start, does it

267
00:13:17,200 --> 00:13:21,839
Speaker 2: have spark and injector pulse? All right, so you know

268
00:13:21,920 --> 00:13:24,360
Speaker 2: you're gonna take a trip down to your local AutoZone

269
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:27,240
Speaker 2: and you're gonna spend I don't know, less than fifty

270
00:13:27,280 --> 00:13:29,000
Speaker 2: bucks if you don't have one already. You're gonna buy

271
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,920
Speaker 2: a spark tester and a mechanic stethoscope. Okay, two real

272
00:13:34,040 --> 00:13:36,200
Speaker 2: simple basic tools, and you're gonna learn how to use them.

273
00:13:36,600 --> 00:13:38,679
Speaker 2: Spark tester is kind of obvious. You're gonna hook it

274
00:13:38,760 --> 00:13:40,760
Speaker 2: up to a spark plug at a wire. Ninety eight

275
00:13:40,800 --> 00:13:43,439
Speaker 2: still had wires. The coil pack sat over on the

276
00:13:43,679 --> 00:13:46,480
Speaker 2: driver's side of the engine if I remember right, or

277
00:13:46,600 --> 00:13:48,560
Speaker 2: was it around the back on the three eight, But regardless,

278
00:13:48,559 --> 00:13:51,000
Speaker 2: you'd be able to get to a wire, and you know,

279
00:13:51,280 --> 00:13:53,240
Speaker 2: let's hook up. Let's hook it up to a spark plug.

280
00:13:53,600 --> 00:13:56,120
Speaker 2: Set the gap, so it's about thirty thousand volts. Thirty

281
00:13:56,160 --> 00:13:58,959
Speaker 2: thousand volts is a good number, and does the spark

282
00:13:59,040 --> 00:14:00,800
Speaker 2: jump the gap when the end runs. If the engine

283
00:14:00,880 --> 00:14:02,599
Speaker 2: runs good, Now you know what good spark looks like.

284
00:14:02,679 --> 00:14:07,719
Speaker 2: It'll be a real annoyed orange flash of kaboom right then.

285
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:10,480
Speaker 2: And then you're gonna use the mechanic stethoscope and you're

286
00:14:10,480 --> 00:14:12,400
Speaker 2: gonna find the injectors and you're just gonna listen to

287
00:14:12,480 --> 00:14:14,760
Speaker 2: it click click, click, click click while the engine is running.

288
00:14:15,200 --> 00:14:21,160
Speaker 2: Just see you have that sound in your head basics, right, fuel, fuel, spark,

289
00:14:22,640 --> 00:14:26,480
Speaker 2: fuel pressure, injector pulse. If you have all that and

290
00:14:26,640 --> 00:14:30,480
Speaker 2: it does, then the next place I'm going to send you,

291
00:14:31,040 --> 00:14:33,080
Speaker 2: all right, it'd be great if you had a scan

292
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,320
Speaker 2: tool and we could scan this, all right, and I

293
00:14:37,440 --> 00:14:40,480
Speaker 2: want to go look at crank sensor. Crank sensors on

294
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:43,680
Speaker 2: these cars are not uncommon to do. Just what you're describing.

295
00:14:44,640 --> 00:14:50,280
Speaker 2: A crank shaft sensor tells the computer engine rotation. It's you.

296
00:14:50,480 --> 00:14:52,280
Speaker 2: It's like you getting up right now and walking to

297
00:14:52,360 --> 00:14:54,760
Speaker 2: the front door. If you counted your steps to the

298
00:14:54,840 --> 00:14:58,000
Speaker 2: front door and it was twelve, the computer needs to

299
00:14:58,080 --> 00:14:59,800
Speaker 2: know that it's twelve steps to the front door to

300
00:15:00,120 --> 00:15:03,400
Speaker 2: keep you walking and to keep the engine running. So

301
00:15:03,520 --> 00:15:07,240
Speaker 2: a crank sensor counts crank shaft revolution, so it knows

302
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:10,600
Speaker 2: where the crank shaft is in relation to piston, in

303
00:15:10,680 --> 00:15:13,320
Speaker 2: relation to valve timing, so that it can operate the

304
00:15:13,400 --> 00:15:16,360
Speaker 2: engine and send out spark at the correct moment, injector

305
00:15:16,400 --> 00:15:18,920
Speaker 2: pulse at the correct moment, and so on. All right,

306
00:15:19,080 --> 00:15:22,280
Speaker 2: it's actually a timing device. We don't think of it

307
00:15:22,400 --> 00:15:23,720
Speaker 2: like that, but that's really what it is. It's a

308
00:15:23,760 --> 00:15:26,240
Speaker 2: main input sensor. What I would tell you with a

309
00:15:26,280 --> 00:15:30,360
Speaker 2: scan tool is when the vehicle runs, go out there,

310
00:15:30,600 --> 00:15:34,360
Speaker 2: put your foot to the floor and crank the engine over.

311
00:15:35,160 --> 00:15:37,560
Speaker 2: That should put it in clear flood mode. It won't start,

312
00:15:37,560 --> 00:15:39,080
Speaker 2: you won't get any you won't get any pulse to

313
00:15:39,120 --> 00:15:42,120
Speaker 2: the injectors. If it does start. Unplug the ignition coil

314
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:45,600
Speaker 2: just so you get in the habit of no, actually,

315
00:15:45,600 --> 00:15:48,760
Speaker 2: don't unplug the ignition coil. Don't because you'll disrupt the signal.

316
00:15:49,240 --> 00:15:51,560
Speaker 2: But disable the fuel pump maybe would be a way

317
00:15:51,600 --> 00:15:53,240
Speaker 2: to do it. I want you to get used to

318
00:15:53,320 --> 00:15:55,840
Speaker 2: the idea of seeing cranking rpm on the scan tool

319
00:15:56,320 --> 00:15:59,600
Speaker 2: so that when it doesn't start. Do you have cranking

320
00:15:59,720 --> 00:16:03,480
Speaker 2: RPM on the scan tool? All right? If all of

321
00:16:03,520 --> 00:16:07,480
Speaker 2: a sudden cranking our PM goes away? Real quick, simple test,

322
00:16:07,640 --> 00:16:09,920
Speaker 2: real quick, easy way to verify. Do you have you

323
00:16:10,000 --> 00:16:11,840
Speaker 2: know crank signal? If you don't have crank signal on

324
00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:14,400
Speaker 2: a scan tool when it fails and you do when

325
00:16:14,440 --> 00:16:16,720
Speaker 2: it's running, well, then I'm going to tell you take

326
00:16:16,760 --> 00:16:18,240
Speaker 2: a hard look at the crank sensor. Do we have

327
00:16:18,280 --> 00:16:21,040
Speaker 2: an issue? There doesn't necessarily mean it's a bad sensor.

328
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:23,040
Speaker 2: It could be wiring, it could be it could be

329
00:16:23,120 --> 00:16:25,600
Speaker 2: a sensor, could be me an engine computer. But at

330
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:27,880
Speaker 2: least it gets you in the general area. All right,

331
00:16:29,480 --> 00:16:34,120
Speaker 2: here's where I think the problem actually is. Okay, now

332
00:16:34,160 --> 00:16:36,320
Speaker 2: that we walk through all this, do you know where

333
00:16:36,320 --> 00:16:37,680
Speaker 2: the OBD two connector is?

334
00:16:39,520 --> 00:16:39,720
Speaker 4: Yes?

335
00:16:39,920 --> 00:16:43,200
Speaker 2: Okay, go down to the OBD two connector. All right,

336
00:16:43,360 --> 00:16:46,000
Speaker 2: it's a trapezoid. Right, there's a part that's wider on

337
00:16:46,080 --> 00:16:48,720
Speaker 2: the top than it is on the bottom. All right,

338
00:16:48,920 --> 00:16:54,160
Speaker 2: go to pins you want to find pins three and eleven? Keon?

339
00:16:54,920 --> 00:16:57,600
Speaker 2: All right, when the problem or let's do it when

340
00:16:57,600 --> 00:17:00,240
Speaker 2: the when the car is running normal? All right. VD

341
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:02,840
Speaker 2: two breakout box would be a wonderful thing here. You

342
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,239
Speaker 2: can buy them. They're under one hundred bucks now, all right,

343
00:17:05,320 --> 00:17:07,680
Speaker 2: And basically what it does is an OBD two breakout

344
00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:11,960
Speaker 2: box plugs into that diagnostic connector and it will allow

345
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:14,119
Speaker 2: you to take a vault meter and measure voltage at

346
00:17:14,119 --> 00:17:19,399
Speaker 2: each of the pins. Okay, pins three and eleven on

347
00:17:19,520 --> 00:17:23,199
Speaker 2: that car are the data bus. You got you got

348
00:17:23,280 --> 00:17:25,040
Speaker 2: a computer in the house, you got a computer at work,

349
00:17:25,480 --> 00:17:29,119
Speaker 2: you got multiple computers, right, so you got network cable

350
00:17:29,640 --> 00:17:32,520
Speaker 2: pins three and eleven or the network cable on the

351
00:17:32,640 --> 00:17:37,480
Speaker 2: data bus on that vehicle. All right, you should have

352
00:17:37,680 --> 00:17:40,119
Speaker 2: two and a half vaults. And if you had a scope,

353
00:17:40,119 --> 00:17:41,760
Speaker 2: which I'm not going to push for that, but it'd

354
00:17:41,800 --> 00:17:44,840
Speaker 2: be great, you'd have a nice square wave signal. You know,

355
00:17:44,960 --> 00:17:46,359
Speaker 2: we want to see two and a half vaults on

356
00:17:46,440 --> 00:17:50,080
Speaker 2: each of those wires. I've got a feeling, I've got

357
00:17:50,119 --> 00:17:52,520
Speaker 2: a feeling when your problem happens, you're not going to

358
00:17:52,560 --> 00:17:55,040
Speaker 2: have the two and a half vaults. Go and unplug

359
00:17:55,119 --> 00:17:57,879
Speaker 2: the instrument cluster. See if the car starts, And if

360
00:17:57,920 --> 00:18:00,320
Speaker 2: it starts, that's going to be your problem, yours. The

361
00:18:00,359 --> 00:18:03,240
Speaker 2: instrument cluster is pulling the data signal down, closing it

362
00:18:03,320 --> 00:18:05,240
Speaker 2: to go into a no start, do that. Call me

363
00:18:05,320 --> 00:18:06,840
Speaker 2: back if you need more. I'm here for you. I'm

364
00:18:06,880 --> 00:18:09,080
Speaker 2: running ending in the car, doctor. I'll return right after this.

365
00:18:31,160 --> 00:18:31,480
Speaker 1: I don't know.

366
00:18:31,680 --> 00:18:35,880
Speaker 2: You want better and you've got thatter. That's all the way.

367
00:18:37,440 --> 00:18:38,320
Speaker 2: Two minutes.

368
00:18:42,359 --> 00:18:45,159
Speaker 4: You do realize that when you put the camera in

369
00:18:45,240 --> 00:18:47,720
Speaker 4: the studio starting in two weeks, you're gonna have to

370
00:18:47,760 --> 00:18:49,720
Speaker 4: start wearing clothes during the show, right.

371
00:18:50,440 --> 00:18:53,600
Speaker 2: Well, only if you know, only if you want me to.

372
00:18:54,960 --> 00:18:57,119
Speaker 2: It's not me that you don't want to scare the

373
00:18:57,359 --> 00:18:59,880
Speaker 2: people away who are going to be watching. Oh my god,

374
00:19:00,520 --> 00:19:04,200
Speaker 2: as long as I don't stand up, Tom, you know,

375
00:19:04,600 --> 00:19:06,280
Speaker 2: if I stood up, then it would be a full

376
00:19:06,359 --> 00:19:10,960
Speaker 2: moon out tonight. So but list, you know what it

377
00:19:11,040 --> 00:19:12,959
Speaker 2: really comes down to is, you know, it's funny right

378
00:19:13,680 --> 00:19:16,960
Speaker 2: as you grow and get bigger in the entertainment world,

379
00:19:17,400 --> 00:19:19,680
Speaker 2: and this is all entertainment, folks, it really is. It's

380
00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:21,400
Speaker 2: just we're just talking about cars, which isn't a big

381
00:19:21,440 --> 00:19:24,840
Speaker 2: deal in the grand scheme of things. But the social

382
00:19:24,920 --> 00:19:26,480
Speaker 2: media group they're like, well, you know, we got to

383
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:28,040
Speaker 2: get you up on Instagram. So now they got us

384
00:19:28,080 --> 00:19:29,920
Speaker 2: up on Instagram, and now they've got you know, we

385
00:19:30,000 --> 00:19:31,919
Speaker 2: had it. We put a post up about Uncle Steve

386
00:19:32,640 --> 00:19:34,520
Speaker 2: two weeks ago, which or a week ago, which thank

387
00:19:34,560 --> 00:19:36,399
Speaker 2: you very much. Everybody was very kind and said some

388
00:19:36,520 --> 00:19:39,359
Speaker 2: very nice things about Uncle Steve. And you know, so

389
00:19:39,560 --> 00:19:41,920
Speaker 2: now it's you know, we want we want more people. Evidently,

390
00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,000
Speaker 2: I don't know. I just like I said in the

391
00:19:44,040 --> 00:19:46,520
Speaker 2: beginning of this show today, I really don't work. I

392
00:19:46,680 --> 00:19:49,200
Speaker 2: just fixed cars. I haven't worked the day in my life.

393
00:19:49,280 --> 00:19:52,200
Speaker 2: It's just, you know, but I'm bored by other things.

394
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:54,960
Speaker 2: There's just something about the mechanical side of automobiles that,

395
00:19:56,080 --> 00:19:58,720
Speaker 2: you know, just piques my curiosity. But we'll see. So

396
00:19:58,800 --> 00:20:00,639
Speaker 2: evidently they want to go pro camera. They're going to

397
00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:03,280
Speaker 2: put a GoPro in this studio here, and this way

398
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:06,280
Speaker 2: they can do some videos and expand as things go.

399
00:20:06,840 --> 00:20:09,000
Speaker 2: So we'll see. We'll see. Tom. It's uh, you know what,

400
00:20:09,040 --> 00:20:10,720
Speaker 2: we still haven't made the tonight show. We're still not

401
00:20:10,840 --> 00:20:12,800
Speaker 2: on in New York. We're still not you know, we

402
00:20:12,920 --> 00:20:14,600
Speaker 2: still got places to go and things I want to

403
00:20:14,600 --> 00:20:17,840
Speaker 2: get back to. So anyway, let's go to Let's go

404
00:20:17,920 --> 00:20:20,360
Speaker 2: to Iowa and talk to Joe with a twenty two

405
00:20:20,440 --> 00:20:22,920
Speaker 2: Chevy Malibu. Joe, Welcome to the car. Doctor sir, thanks

406
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:25,440
Speaker 2: for putting up with us today. We're a little off track,

407
00:20:25,520 --> 00:20:26,280
Speaker 2: so how can I help you?

408
00:20:27,560 --> 00:20:27,879
Speaker 5: Okay?

409
00:20:28,200 --> 00:20:28,520
Speaker 4: Thanks?

410
00:20:28,800 --> 00:20:31,560
Speaker 5: Well, thanks for your show. You guys are really really

411
00:20:31,560 --> 00:20:32,040
Speaker 5: a good show.

412
00:20:32,240 --> 00:20:32,480
Speaker 2: Thank you.

413
00:20:33,720 --> 00:20:36,200
Speaker 5: I wanted to ask you about that. I believe it's

414
00:20:36,280 --> 00:20:40,240
Speaker 5: the wastegate management solenoid on that on the turbo okay,

415
00:20:40,280 --> 00:20:44,159
Speaker 5: on the Porcela or and I was just I got one.

416
00:20:44,240 --> 00:20:47,440
Speaker 5: It clicks. I think I think it's solomoid clicking on

417
00:20:47,560 --> 00:20:49,520
Speaker 5: a day it clicks, you know what it's island, You

418
00:20:49,560 --> 00:20:51,560
Speaker 5: give a little gas ital click and it just doesn't

419
00:20:51,640 --> 00:20:54,639
Speaker 5: seem to be quite right. And I just wanted to

420
00:20:54,720 --> 00:20:57,760
Speaker 5: ask you about, you know, the operation of it, and

421
00:20:59,080 --> 00:20:59,879
Speaker 5: you know and things like that.

422
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:06,680
Speaker 2: Well, does the car any dashboard warning lights on? Joe? No, okay, no,

423
00:21:07,520 --> 00:21:09,119
Speaker 2: you know, I mean you can. I mean you can

424
00:21:09,240 --> 00:21:11,040
Speaker 2: check the resistance of the solenoid if you want to

425
00:21:11,040 --> 00:21:12,800
Speaker 2: see it. If it's clicking. Let me put it this way.

426
00:21:12,840 --> 00:21:15,200
Speaker 2: If it's clicking and there's no dashboard warning lights, the

427
00:21:15,240 --> 00:21:19,000
Speaker 2: system's operating is designed is you know, if there was

428
00:21:19,040 --> 00:21:22,600
Speaker 2: a trust me, the car is smart enough that if

429
00:21:22,640 --> 00:21:25,280
Speaker 2: there was a problem, it would tell you. All right,

430
00:21:26,359 --> 00:21:29,080
Speaker 2: and you're you're talking about the bypass solenoid. The idea

431
00:21:29,160 --> 00:21:30,920
Speaker 2: there is is they don't want to let the turbo

432
00:21:31,040 --> 00:21:33,040
Speaker 2: build up too much boost. So when it sees a

433
00:21:33,119 --> 00:21:36,400
Speaker 2: certain amount of boost up to point X, it says, okay,

434
00:21:36,520 --> 00:21:38,960
Speaker 2: that's enough. We don't want to force feed the engine

435
00:21:39,000 --> 00:21:41,840
Speaker 2: too much. And it will. It will cause the solenoid

436
00:21:41,880 --> 00:21:45,159
Speaker 2: to allow vacuum to apply or electrical to apply, or

437
00:21:45,200 --> 00:21:47,840
Speaker 2: however they're working at, you know, generically speaking in the industry,

438
00:21:48,520 --> 00:21:50,600
Speaker 2: not specific to yours. But the idea is that a

439
00:21:50,720 --> 00:21:53,960
Speaker 2: solenoid valve will cause boost pressure to dump off and

440
00:21:54,080 --> 00:21:57,159
Speaker 2: prevent overboost to an engine, which could cause catastrophic damage.

441
00:21:58,040 --> 00:22:02,240
Speaker 5: Is you get that overboost and boost when it's sitting

442
00:22:02,280 --> 00:22:03,800
Speaker 5: there idling, I mean pretty much.

443
00:22:04,200 --> 00:22:04,240
Speaker 3: No.

444
00:22:04,400 --> 00:22:06,600
Speaker 2: The turbo is not even really active at that point.

445
00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,159
Speaker 2: You know, maybe they're clicking the solenoid. You don't know

446
00:22:09,200 --> 00:22:11,080
Speaker 2: what the strategy is. You know, one of the things

447
00:22:11,160 --> 00:22:14,719
Speaker 2: engineers don't tell us is what they're thinking. All right,

448
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:18,359
Speaker 2: and I've given up trying to understand what an engineer

449
00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:21,399
Speaker 2: is thinking a long time ago. I'll understand how a

450
00:22:21,520 --> 00:22:25,119
Speaker 2: circuit works or how a system operates, but you know,

451
00:22:25,240 --> 00:22:27,960
Speaker 2: why would they click the solenoid. You know, I don't know.

452
00:22:28,640 --> 00:22:31,119
Speaker 2: You know, why would General motors make six point two

453
00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:34,399
Speaker 2: liter engines with an alloy bearing that's so problematic at

454
00:22:34,440 --> 00:22:37,639
Speaker 2: seizing crank shifts for lack of lubrication on engines with

455
00:22:37,720 --> 00:22:40,360
Speaker 2: less than a thousand miles on them. You know, it's

456
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,359
Speaker 2: you wonder what they're thinking, right, You wonder are they thinking?

457
00:22:45,080 --> 00:22:47,440
Speaker 2: You know, So don't don't read too much into it.

458
00:22:47,640 --> 00:22:52,639
Speaker 2: The modern automobile is so smart that it will it

459
00:22:52,760 --> 00:22:56,480
Speaker 2: will self test a lot of itself. Now, are you

460
00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,760
Speaker 2: certain that's the solenoid you hear clicking?

461
00:23:00,160 --> 00:23:04,639
Speaker 5: Well, you know, I'm thinking so. I mean, I did

462
00:23:04,720 --> 00:23:07,359
Speaker 5: have it to the dealer and he said, well, he

463
00:23:07,520 --> 00:23:11,159
Speaker 5: thinks that the tech had listened to it. He just

464
00:23:11,359 --> 00:23:14,080
Speaker 5: he didn't have no stephoscope or anything. But he said,

465
00:23:14,080 --> 00:23:16,320
Speaker 5: I think it might be the the two shafts in there.

466
00:23:16,760 --> 00:23:19,040
Speaker 5: But I'm I'm almost certain to my mind, because I

467
00:23:19,119 --> 00:23:23,440
Speaker 5: put a little you know, the little stephicoat stethoscope just

468
00:23:23,520 --> 00:23:25,720
Speaker 5: the rod goes down and you can it's not really

469
00:23:25,760 --> 00:23:29,119
Speaker 5: a stephicoscope, and I can hear it on that solenoid,

470
00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:32,280
Speaker 5: you know, clicking back and forth. I'm pretty sure in

471
00:23:32,400 --> 00:23:34,520
Speaker 5: my mind it's a solenoids doing well.

472
00:23:34,520 --> 00:23:36,399
Speaker 2: If the dealers, if the dealer was looking at it

473
00:23:36,440 --> 00:23:39,320
Speaker 2: and they've got a scan tool, why don't they electrically

474
00:23:39,440 --> 00:23:43,040
Speaker 2: disconnect the solenoid and see if the noise and see

475
00:23:43,040 --> 00:23:44,480
Speaker 2: if the noise goes away. I mean, you're going to

476
00:23:44,520 --> 00:23:46,080
Speaker 2: set a fault code. You're probably going to set up

477
00:23:46,080 --> 00:23:49,400
Speaker 2: P double thirty three, you know. But but at least

478
00:23:49,440 --> 00:23:50,320
Speaker 2: you know where it came from.

479
00:23:52,400 --> 00:23:56,560
Speaker 5: Yeah, actually he didn't. He didn't run it through the shop.

480
00:23:56,640 --> 00:23:58,159
Speaker 5: We just had it and then where they and I

481
00:23:58,200 --> 00:23:59,800
Speaker 5: wanted to talk to him first about it before it

482
00:24:00,280 --> 00:24:02,520
Speaker 5: in right, So we never did really have it because

483
00:24:02,560 --> 00:24:05,440
Speaker 5: I didn't want Tom turning to turbo apart. And I

484
00:24:05,480 --> 00:24:07,879
Speaker 5: don't think the turbo is a problem. But I did

485
00:24:07,960 --> 00:24:09,000
Speaker 5: have another question for you.

486
00:24:09,160 --> 00:24:11,000
Speaker 2: Sure, hang on one second there, Joe. I think Tom's

487
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:13,080
Speaker 2: got his problems. You'll sitting out, Tom, We're good. Yeah, Okay,

488
00:24:13,160 --> 00:24:16,080
Speaker 2: keep going, Joe, I think Tom's got something. Gremlin's going on.

489
00:24:16,240 --> 00:24:16,480
Speaker 4: Ahead.

490
00:24:17,440 --> 00:24:20,560
Speaker 5: Yes, it's my wife's car, and she says last night

491
00:24:20,680 --> 00:24:23,040
Speaker 5: she come back. She said, I tried to put fuel

492
00:24:23,080 --> 00:24:25,840
Speaker 5: in it and it's it's starting to puke out, you know,

493
00:24:26,359 --> 00:24:29,880
Speaker 5: fuel out, the fuel nec it sounds like and I think,

494
00:24:29,920 --> 00:24:33,600
Speaker 5: I know maybe with the problem there is, but I

495
00:24:33,760 --> 00:24:35,680
Speaker 5: just thought, you know, mentioned to you and you have

496
00:24:35,800 --> 00:24:37,840
Speaker 5: a you can comment on it. I'm thinking it's that

497
00:24:38,520 --> 00:24:39,720
Speaker 5: canister solinoid that.

498
00:24:41,520 --> 00:24:43,840
Speaker 2: Well before we go there, was it just the one

499
00:24:43,920 --> 00:24:46,520
Speaker 2: time at one gas station? Well?

500
00:24:46,600 --> 00:24:48,359
Speaker 5: I asked her that and she said no, it's happened

501
00:24:48,400 --> 00:24:50,720
Speaker 5: a couple of times at two different stations. But but

502
00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:52,720
Speaker 5: there's no light on it, and there's no light on

503
00:24:52,840 --> 00:24:54,040
Speaker 5: the dash because I asked her that.

504
00:24:54,400 --> 00:24:57,600
Speaker 2: All right, So maybe maybe the vent line coming out

505
00:24:57,640 --> 00:25:00,920
Speaker 2: of the canister, maybe the vent is restricted, maybe there's

506
00:25:00,960 --> 00:25:04,040
Speaker 2: a spider web. All right, I would I would tell

507
00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:05,600
Speaker 2: you the next time you go to fill it up

508
00:25:06,520 --> 00:25:09,160
Speaker 2: is to pay careful attention. Put it in, make sure

509
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:11,640
Speaker 2: the first of all, make sure the hose is inserted properly.

510
00:25:11,960 --> 00:25:14,560
Speaker 2: Are Iowa, are you doing self? Are you pumping your

511
00:25:14,560 --> 00:25:16,200
Speaker 2: own gas or is somebody pumping.

512
00:25:15,920 --> 00:25:16,280
Speaker 4: It for you?

513
00:25:17,440 --> 00:25:20,080
Speaker 5: Yeah, we pretty much pumped everything here, okay for the

514
00:25:20,160 --> 00:25:20,560
Speaker 5: most part.

515
00:25:20,680 --> 00:25:22,399
Speaker 2: So then your wife, your wife obviously he knows how

516
00:25:22,440 --> 00:25:25,960
Speaker 2: to handle the fuel pump. But just make sure you know, listen,

517
00:25:26,000 --> 00:25:28,440
Speaker 2: you got to think about all the possibilities, right. Operator

518
00:25:28,560 --> 00:25:31,520
Speaker 2: error is possible too, but you know, just just make

519
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:34,240
Speaker 2: sure the nozzles seated correctly, make sure it's not going

520
00:25:34,280 --> 00:25:37,240
Speaker 2: in too fast, you know, normal speeds. You know, I always,

521
00:25:37,359 --> 00:25:39,720
Speaker 2: I always look at the condition of the fuel pump,

522
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:41,840
Speaker 2: you know, the handle and the nozzle and the and

523
00:25:41,960 --> 00:25:47,480
Speaker 2: the check restriction plate that they have there. But you know,

524
00:25:47,560 --> 00:25:50,119
Speaker 2: my first thought is if a vehicle won't take fuel,

525
00:25:50,280 --> 00:25:53,359
Speaker 2: and we've eliminated the possibility of the operator or the pump,

526
00:25:53,920 --> 00:25:55,959
Speaker 2: then I'm going to think about, you know, is there

527
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:59,080
Speaker 2: a problem with the vent if we're trying to put something,

528
00:25:59,160 --> 00:26:01,280
Speaker 2: If we're trying to pour fuel down the chimney of

529
00:26:01,320 --> 00:26:02,880
Speaker 2: the house and we have to open the back door

530
00:26:02,920 --> 00:26:04,960
Speaker 2: to relieve pressure because the back door is the vent,

531
00:26:05,840 --> 00:26:11,240
Speaker 2: and the vent stuck short stuck closed, all right, you

532
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:13,600
Speaker 2: know we can't get the back door open. Then yeah,

533
00:26:13,720 --> 00:26:16,760
Speaker 2: do we have a restriction somewhere? You know, if there

534
00:26:17,040 --> 00:26:20,159
Speaker 2: was a bad canister vent Again, I'm going to come

535
00:26:20,200 --> 00:26:22,280
Speaker 2: back to if there was a bad canister event, if

536
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,440
Speaker 2: there was a bad solnoid, if there was a restriction,

537
00:26:25,240 --> 00:26:28,120
Speaker 2: they test that. They test that EVAP system six ways

538
00:26:28,160 --> 00:26:33,080
Speaker 2: to Sunday, you know, so I wouldn't get crazy thinking

539
00:26:33,200 --> 00:26:35,200
Speaker 2: right away. You've got a bad solnoid here or there.

540
00:26:35,560 --> 00:26:37,879
Speaker 2: I would let the dealership diagnose it, and probably the

541
00:26:37,920 --> 00:26:39,520
Speaker 2: first thing they're going to do is what I'm walking

542
00:26:39,560 --> 00:26:43,280
Speaker 2: you through, and then maybe disconnecting the vent line going

543
00:26:43,359 --> 00:26:45,800
Speaker 2: to the neck so that you know there's a there's

544
00:26:45,800 --> 00:26:47,880
Speaker 2: always going to be pressure released. And if they find

545
00:26:47,920 --> 00:26:49,680
Speaker 2: that that works and then they plug it back on

546
00:26:49,800 --> 00:26:52,080
Speaker 2: and it doesn't, then you've got a restriction somewhere on

547
00:26:52,160 --> 00:26:53,199
Speaker 2: the vent side of the system.

548
00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:57,840
Speaker 5: All right, yeah, well all right, well thanks a lot ron.

549
00:26:59,160 --> 00:27:00,680
Speaker 2: You're very welcome, sir, and if you need more, you

550
00:27:00,720 --> 00:27:02,879
Speaker 2: know where to find me. Take good care. I'm running.

551
00:27:03,080 --> 00:27:05,000
Speaker 2: I'm running inny in the guard doctor. We're back right

552
00:27:05,000 --> 00:27:06,000
Speaker 2: after this. Don't going.

553
00:27:20,119 --> 00:27:20,440
Speaker 1: The way.

554
00:27:22,480 --> 00:27:24,760
Speaker 2: Welcome back, run an INNI in the car doctor. Here

555
00:27:24,760 --> 00:27:27,200
Speaker 2: at a five five five six zero nine nine zero zero.

556
00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,840
Speaker 2: Let's take a cruise to Hawaii. Let's go talk to Anne,

557
00:27:29,840 --> 00:27:31,600
Speaker 2: Marie and Marie. Welcome to the car doctor. How can

558
00:27:31,640 --> 00:27:34,919
Speaker 2: I help? Thank you so much. You're welcome.

559
00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:40,600
Speaker 3: So we have a Hyundai Santa Cruz twenty twenty four

560
00:27:41,320 --> 00:27:44,240
Speaker 3: h track. And when I say we, it belongs to

561
00:27:44,359 --> 00:27:46,639
Speaker 3: the owners of the property I live on. They live

562
00:27:46,720 --> 00:27:49,160
Speaker 3: in La. They bought the car when they were here

563
00:27:49,240 --> 00:27:52,840
Speaker 3: in January, and shortly after they got home, they started

564
00:27:52,840 --> 00:27:56,440
Speaker 3: getting messages from the car saying that saying that the

565
00:27:56,520 --> 00:27:59,760
Speaker 3: battery was running low because it wasn't being driven enough. Okay,

566
00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:03,080
Speaker 3: so I don't I don't drive it. We have a

567
00:28:03,280 --> 00:28:06,320
Speaker 3: we have a handy person who takes care of car maintenance,

568
00:28:06,480 --> 00:28:09,879
Speaker 3: but there will be periods of time when it's not

569
00:28:10,040 --> 00:28:12,520
Speaker 3: going to be driven unless we ask him to drive it.

570
00:28:13,520 --> 00:28:15,119
Speaker 2: They they it's a.

571
00:28:15,200 --> 00:28:18,359
Speaker 3: Vacation property, but not a rental, but they send friends,

572
00:28:18,480 --> 00:28:21,560
Speaker 3: family associates here a lot. They meant for the car

573
00:28:21,800 --> 00:28:24,040
Speaker 3: not to be used very much by other people, but

574
00:28:24,560 --> 00:28:26,920
Speaker 3: they've been lending it out a lot so that the

575
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:31,639
Speaker 3: battery doesn't run down. But they want to know what

576
00:28:31,880 --> 00:28:34,680
Speaker 3: we can get in terms of a charger that we

577
00:28:34,840 --> 00:28:38,560
Speaker 3: can just leave plugged in for the periods of time

578
00:28:38,680 --> 00:28:40,760
Speaker 3: that it's not in use, so that we don't have

579
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:41,240
Speaker 3: to worry.

580
00:28:41,640 --> 00:28:44,120
Speaker 2: Does the car sit in a garage or does it

581
00:28:44,200 --> 00:28:49,560
Speaker 2: sit outside outside? Okay? Perfect, So get out to your

582
00:28:49,560 --> 00:28:51,960
Speaker 2: local AutoZone. You've got an AutoZone there in Hawaii, I'm

583
00:28:51,960 --> 00:29:01,000
Speaker 2: sure somewhere, yes, Okay, here, tell them you're interested in

584
00:29:01,240 --> 00:29:05,480
Speaker 2: one of their's. The brand is Shoemacher. There's Schuemacher C

585
00:29:05,720 --> 00:29:08,040
Speaker 2: h U M A c h E R. Shoemacher brand

586
00:29:08,200 --> 00:29:10,760
Speaker 2: of battery chargers. I'm familiar with those. They might have,

587
00:29:11,160 --> 00:29:12,880
Speaker 2: they might have more than that, but I've seen these.

588
00:29:12,960 --> 00:29:17,000
Speaker 2: I know these work. They've got various various brands, various sizes.

589
00:29:17,320 --> 00:29:19,080
Speaker 2: And this will be a this will be basically a

590
00:29:19,160 --> 00:29:21,760
Speaker 2: solar panel. There's two ways to attack this. You know,

591
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:24,880
Speaker 2: if we use a solar panel which will just suction

592
00:29:25,080 --> 00:29:27,800
Speaker 2: cup or sit on the inside of the dashboard that

593
00:29:28,040 --> 00:29:31,600
Speaker 2: solar panel on sunny days will generate enough electricity and

594
00:29:31,760 --> 00:29:34,400
Speaker 2: tell them you want the model that plugs into the

595
00:29:34,520 --> 00:29:38,440
Speaker 2: OBD two diagnostic connector have you ever seen a mechanic

596
00:29:38,600 --> 00:29:40,680
Speaker 2: plug a scan tool in, you know, you take it

597
00:29:40,720 --> 00:29:42,400
Speaker 2: into a shop and they'll say, let me plug in

598
00:29:42,440 --> 00:29:45,080
Speaker 2: a scan tool, then do some diagnostics or check the

599
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:47,040
Speaker 2: car for codes, something like that.

600
00:29:47,360 --> 00:29:50,160
Speaker 3: I haven't Okay, I know they've done it, but I

601
00:29:50,280 --> 00:29:51,280
Speaker 3: haven't actually seen it.

602
00:29:51,440 --> 00:29:54,400
Speaker 2: Right, Well, that that's it's called the ob D two

603
00:29:54,520 --> 00:29:57,400
Speaker 2: port ob D two or a l d L all

604
00:29:57,480 --> 00:30:00,959
Speaker 2: right for old school. But basically it's a connection. It's

605
00:30:00,960 --> 00:30:04,800
Speaker 2: a it's a connection port under the dashboart ob D

606
00:30:05,080 --> 00:30:11,800
Speaker 2: Oscar Baker Davis two ob D two Oscar Baker Davis too.

607
00:30:12,200 --> 00:30:16,000
Speaker 2: And basically that that connection is under the dashboard generally

608
00:30:16,080 --> 00:30:17,880
Speaker 2: to the left or the right of the steering wheel.

609
00:30:18,480 --> 00:30:21,720
Speaker 2: And you can plug you can plug this trickle charger in,

610
00:30:21,800 --> 00:30:24,600
Speaker 2: this battery charger in, and this it will just it

611
00:30:24,640 --> 00:30:26,760
Speaker 2: will maintain. It'll put out a low enough volts that

612
00:30:26,800 --> 00:30:30,680
Speaker 2: will maintain the vehicle's battery all right. This way, you know,

613
00:30:30,760 --> 00:30:32,880
Speaker 2: if the vehicle's sitting outside, you don't have to worry

614
00:30:32,880 --> 00:30:35,040
Speaker 2: about having wires sticking out from under the hood. You

615
00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:37,440
Speaker 2: don't have to worry about keeping the battery charger plugged in.

616
00:30:38,040 --> 00:30:40,719
Speaker 2: It will it will charge by a solar charge, by

617
00:30:40,800 --> 00:30:45,800
Speaker 2: virtue of the sun. That is great, all right, they

618
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:49,320
Speaker 2: they you know, quite honestly, if you ever get a chance,

619
00:30:49,520 --> 00:30:52,280
Speaker 2: depending upon where the cars come into the port in Hawaii.

620
00:30:52,720 --> 00:30:54,840
Speaker 2: Here in New Jersey, it's by it's by the city

621
00:30:54,920 --> 00:30:56,920
Speaker 2: of Newark. You go down to Port Newark, you'll see

622
00:30:56,960 --> 00:30:59,440
Speaker 2: cars coming in off the pier and you'll see this.

623
00:31:00,080 --> 00:31:02,240
Speaker 2: It looks like an etch of sketch. I'm dating myself here,

624
00:31:02,520 --> 00:31:06,160
Speaker 2: but it's a giant tablet. It's a giant im Yeah,

625
00:31:06,240 --> 00:31:08,360
Speaker 2: I remember it your sketch, right, And it's a giant

626
00:31:08,440 --> 00:31:12,080
Speaker 2: tablet that's suction cup to the inside of the windshield, Okay,

627
00:31:12,440 --> 00:31:14,960
Speaker 2: and they just they're plugged into the OBD two port.

628
00:31:15,320 --> 00:31:17,480
Speaker 2: You think about it. Sometimes it takes a month or

629
00:31:17,640 --> 00:31:20,440
Speaker 2: maybe six weeks for a car to come in from overseas.

630
00:31:20,720 --> 00:31:24,360
Speaker 2: That's how they're doing it. They're they're charging the battery. Uh,

631
00:31:24,600 --> 00:31:26,239
Speaker 2: you know, while it's sitting on the dock, while it's

632
00:31:26,280 --> 00:31:28,400
Speaker 2: sitting on the ship, if it's an open container ship

633
00:31:28,440 --> 00:31:31,560
Speaker 2: and so on, they're charging the battery using a solar charger.

634
00:31:32,200 --> 00:31:34,760
Speaker 2: And it just it just makes it quick and simple.

635
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:38,040
Speaker 2: And we're using that same technology. AutoZone has them tell

636
00:31:38,120 --> 00:31:40,360
Speaker 2: them what you're trying to do, and they should be

637
00:31:40,400 --> 00:31:42,640
Speaker 2: able to advise you what you need accordingly based on

638
00:31:42,720 --> 00:31:43,840
Speaker 2: that particular.

639
00:31:43,480 --> 00:31:50,120
Speaker 3: Car that is fantastic. And two questions. I'm guessing I'm

640
00:31:50,160 --> 00:31:53,200
Speaker 3: guessing this will not overcharge the battery, correct?

641
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:54,479
Speaker 2: Correct?

642
00:31:54,760 --> 00:31:58,680
Speaker 3: Do you just leave it on all the time, all

643
00:31:58,720 --> 00:31:59,719
Speaker 3: the time during periods?

644
00:31:59,760 --> 00:32:02,560
Speaker 2: Well, you know you're gonna leave it on all the time,

645
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:04,200
Speaker 2: because you got to think about it. It's only gonna

646
00:32:04,280 --> 00:32:06,280
Speaker 2: charge half the time, right, It's only gonna charge during

647
00:32:06,320 --> 00:32:09,600
Speaker 2: the daylight obviously, and then if the battery reaches charge

648
00:32:10,200 --> 00:32:12,760
Speaker 2: the device. And that's a good question to ask them.

649
00:32:12,880 --> 00:32:15,720
Speaker 2: I believe the shoemachers have internal devices that it will

650
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:18,720
Speaker 2: not overcharge, all right, but just make sure that that's

651
00:32:18,880 --> 00:32:21,680
Speaker 2: that's part of whatever particular model you're going to get.

652
00:32:22,680 --> 00:32:25,360
Speaker 2: All right, Okay, good questions, Anne, Marie, good questions.

653
00:32:25,640 --> 00:32:28,200
Speaker 3: All right, Thank you so very much.

654
00:32:28,280 --> 00:32:29,960
Speaker 2: You're very welcome. And you can probably go online, you know.

655
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:31,120
Speaker 2: As a matter of fact, I know you can if

656
00:32:31,120 --> 00:32:33,600
Speaker 2: you go out to AutoZone dot com and type in

657
00:32:33,800 --> 00:32:37,239
Speaker 2: trickle charger or battery charger. AutoZone will show you there

658
00:32:37,320 --> 00:32:39,360
Speaker 2: online as well, so the folks in LA can see it.

659
00:32:40,000 --> 00:32:45,680
Speaker 3: All right, Okay, it's great, all right again, thank you

660
00:32:45,840 --> 00:32:48,480
Speaker 3: so much. I've been trying so hard to find information

661
00:32:48,720 --> 00:32:52,160
Speaker 3: and I kept getting nothing, and now you've given me

662
00:32:52,240 --> 00:32:52,680
Speaker 3: what I need.

663
00:32:52,800 --> 00:32:54,600
Speaker 2: You're very welcome. You have a great rest of today.

664
00:32:54,800 --> 00:32:56,760
Speaker 2: Enjoy the sun. I'm ronning any and the Car Doctor.

665
00:32:56,800 --> 00:33:13,760
Speaker 2: We're back right after this the welcome back running any

666
00:33:13,800 --> 00:33:16,360
Speaker 2: of the Car Doctor, you know, to close out the hour. Right.

667
00:33:16,440 --> 00:33:18,440
Speaker 2: We started this hour talking about what would I tell

668
00:33:18,480 --> 00:33:21,320
Speaker 2: my younger self about getting into the business and becoming

669
00:33:21,360 --> 00:33:24,320
Speaker 2: a mechanic and how to rise to the top, right,

670
00:33:24,360 --> 00:33:25,920
Speaker 2: because that's what it is. Everybody wants to rise to

671
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:28,160
Speaker 2: the top. I don't know any sane person that gets

672
00:33:28,240 --> 00:33:29,800
Speaker 2: up and says, how can I be the worst that

673
00:33:29,880 --> 00:33:32,040
Speaker 2: I possibly can be in whatever industry I'm in? So

674
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:34,240
Speaker 2: you want to be the best, you know? Some of

675
00:33:34,360 --> 00:33:35,800
Speaker 2: that's some of the advice I would have given you

676
00:33:35,880 --> 00:33:37,080
Speaker 2: at the beginning of the hour, and I think I

677
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:39,240
Speaker 2: would probably close it out here because let's go in

678
00:33:39,280 --> 00:33:41,800
Speaker 2: the shop courtesy of Votozone and talk about this. We

679
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:44,960
Speaker 2: had a twenty eighteen gmc canyon this past week that

680
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:47,160
Speaker 2: actually we've had for two weeks, and we're trying to,

681
00:33:47,520 --> 00:33:49,480
Speaker 2: you know, gather parts. I was going to say scrounge,

682
00:33:49,520 --> 00:33:51,720
Speaker 2: and scrounge probably is the right word, because it's just

683
00:33:51,800 --> 00:33:53,640
Speaker 2: tough getting parts from one of these. I don't know why.

684
00:33:54,240 --> 00:33:56,440
Speaker 2: And we had gathered and assembled everything. There was some

685
00:33:56,520 --> 00:33:59,040
Speaker 2: body panels and body pieces we needed, and we got

686
00:33:59,240 --> 00:34:01,719
Speaker 2: everything that and the car has to go by four

687
00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:06,880
Speaker 2: o'clock on Friday, except I didn't have an ambient airtemp sensor.

688
00:34:07,280 --> 00:34:10,160
Speaker 2: For whatever reason, it got shattered in the accident. I

689
00:34:10,200 --> 00:34:12,000
Speaker 2: didn't even know I was missing it because I got

690
00:34:12,040 --> 00:34:13,680
Speaker 2: the car in pieces. I didn't know what I was

691
00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,600
Speaker 2: supposed to have until I started to assemble it. And

692
00:34:15,640 --> 00:34:18,000
Speaker 2: we finally got around with all the pieces and parts

693
00:34:18,040 --> 00:34:20,200
Speaker 2: that we were looking for, and I was able to

694
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:23,759
Speaker 2: jump online to AutoZone pro dot com and look up

695
00:34:23,760 --> 00:34:26,400
Speaker 2: ambient airtemp sensor. I saw what it looked like. I

696
00:34:26,520 --> 00:34:29,120
Speaker 2: saw that it was you know, okay, it goes here boom,

697
00:34:29,360 --> 00:34:31,439
Speaker 2: and I was able to match it up and get

698
00:34:31,520 --> 00:34:35,040
Speaker 2: the sensor all right. They were able to find one again.

699
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:37,600
Speaker 2: For whatever reason, these parts are getting tougher to come by,

700
00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:40,600
Speaker 2: but AutoZone came through AutoZone pro dot com and I

701
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:42,480
Speaker 2: was able to get the car out the door. And

702
00:34:42,840 --> 00:34:45,400
Speaker 2: the point to my younger self I would make is

703
00:34:46,200 --> 00:34:49,279
Speaker 2: prepare for the unexpected. Again, not to make it sound

704
00:34:49,320 --> 00:34:51,960
Speaker 2: like being a good boy scout, but just you never know.

705
00:34:52,480 --> 00:34:54,600
Speaker 2: But if you can do that, and you can find

706
00:34:54,640 --> 00:34:56,319
Speaker 2: the parts that no one else can and you can

707
00:34:56,440 --> 00:34:59,239
Speaker 2: put the car back together, you'll be the best there is.

708
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:01,240
Speaker 2: And that's what you want be in this business, because

709
00:35:01,840 --> 00:35:03,680
Speaker 2: that's what you want to be. I'm running ad in

710
00:35:03,719 --> 00:35:05,680
Speaker 2: the card doctor until the next time, reminding all of

711
00:35:05,760 --> 00:35:08,600
Speaker 2: you good mechanics aren't expensive, they're priceless.

712
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:09,279
Speaker 4: See you
