I 168 00:08:55,760 --> 00:08:57,680 Speaker 1: said something wrong because I took the pan off. I 169 00:08:57,679 --> 00:09:00,720 Speaker 1: didn't have the pan off, had everything else off. Everything 170 00:09:00,840 --> 00:09:04,320 Speaker 1: looks buying in there, But the pan back on, unscaping 171 00:09:04,360 --> 00:09:06,800 Speaker 1: the whole filter because I had it full. Loll got 172 00:09:06,840 --> 00:09:09,680 Speaker 1: old pressure coming out the adapter. Fetch his whole filure 173 00:09:09,679 --> 00:09:12,839 Speaker 1: back on that old pressure. Sometimes it works like that. 174 00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:16,280 Speaker 1: It's sometimes like an air lock or something. You know, 175 00:09:16,320 --> 00:09:18,760 Speaker 1: it's kind of crazy, or an old pumping wouldn't take 176 00:09:18,760 --> 00:09:23,719 Speaker 1: it up. Sometimes it works off. So let me get that. 177 00:09:23,720 --> 00:09:25,400 Speaker 1: I didn't know if he had that problem or not, 178 00:09:25,440 --> 00:09:28,760 Speaker 1: But no, I don't think he did. If he checks it, 179 00:09:29,120 --> 00:09:31,600 Speaker 1: If he checks it that way and it does sounds 180 00:09:31,640 --> 00:09:33,559 Speaker 1: all he better have somebody at all, right, and he 181 00:09:33,600 --> 00:09:37,040 Speaker 1: shot it off. Oh, you're gonna have a math. It 182 00:09:37,120 --> 00:09:39,960 Speaker 1: goes quick, so so let me leave. Let me let 183 00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:44,240 Speaker 1: me leave it here. So wait a minute. So you 184 00:09:44,360 --> 00:09:47,800 Speaker 1: diagnose the oil pump problem by turn taking a filter 185 00:09:47,880 --> 00:09:51,280 Speaker 1: run off? You thought about it. Check check fuel pressure? 186 00:09:51,320 --> 00:09:55,040 Speaker 1: Where's fuel pressure on? Scar? All right? You turned that 187 00:09:55,120 --> 00:09:57,360 Speaker 1: key on. I I've got a feeling you're gonna find 188 00:09:57,360 --> 00:09:59,800 Speaker 1: this car's got got some sort of fuel pressure issue 189 00:10:00,280 --> 00:10:04,440 Speaker 1: or a volume issue or residual pressure issue. Something. There's 190 00:10:04,480 --> 00:10:07,400 Speaker 1: gonna be a fuel pressure or a fuel pump problem here. 191 00:10:07,440 --> 00:10:09,960 Speaker 1: And if not let's eliminate it and test it and 192 00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:11,920 Speaker 1: then we can talk from there. All right, is that 193 00:10:11,960 --> 00:10:14,240 Speaker 1: a deal? All right? Why does it? Why does it 194 00:10:14,360 --> 00:10:17,599 Speaker 1: start all the time? Like you know, I'm glad to 195 00:10:17,640 --> 00:10:20,680 Speaker 1: set two or three weeks, but you'll have to set 196 00:10:20,840 --> 00:10:23,080 Speaker 1: six weeks or longer and they won't start. You'll know 197 00:10:23,160 --> 00:10:24,760 Speaker 1: that when you find out if you've got fuel pressure 198 00:10:24,840 --> 00:10:27,280 Speaker 1: or not, you've got to You've got to You've got 199 00:10:27,280 --> 00:10:31,679 Speaker 1: to figure out what it's missing, all right, Yeah, Okay, 200 00:10:32,200 --> 00:10:39,000 Speaker 1: you know it's this run and fuel pressure. You know, well, 201 00:10:39,080 --> 00:10:41,040 Speaker 1: you know you you you don't know until you know 202 00:10:41,080 --> 00:10:43,760 Speaker 1: what it's missing. I can't tell you. I can't tell 203 00:10:43,800 --> 00:10:46,120 Speaker 1: you the what ifs until we fill in the blanks. 204 00:10:46,600 --> 00:10:49,800 Speaker 1: And if it has good fuel pressure, well, if it 205 00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:52,000 Speaker 1: has good fuel pressure and it has good volume, and 206 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:54,080 Speaker 1: it has good residual and the color of the fuel 207 00:10:54,200 --> 00:10:57,400 Speaker 1: is good and all those things passed and it's not fuel, 208 00:10:58,120 --> 00:11:01,680 Speaker 1: then we'll talk about spark. What sit missing? It's it's 209 00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:09,439 Speaker 1: it's missing something, right, right, It's it's missing something. So 210 00:11:09,520 --> 00:11:10,839 Speaker 1: you're welcome. You give me a call, you let me 211 00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,120 Speaker 1: know what happens. Ken, I'm curious you take good care 212 00:11:13,160 --> 00:11:16,080 Speaker 1: of five five zero nine zero zero. The car is 213 00:11:16,080 --> 00:11:18,320 Speaker 1: coming back right after this. When the family car needs 214 00:11:18,320 --> 00:11:21,160 Speaker 1: some fixing, there's only two things that really matter, getting 215 00:11:21,200 --> 00:11:24,080 Speaker 1: the right part and getting some good advice. It's a 216 00:11:24,080 --> 00:11:26,840 Speaker 1: pretty safe bet that, with over a million parts in stock, 217 00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:29,880 Speaker 1: pet Boys has the right part right now. The pet 218 00:11:29,920 --> 00:11:32,680 Speaker 1: Boys pros are extensively trained to find the right part 219 00:11:32,760 --> 00:11:36,120 Speaker 1: for just about any car truck. Better Yet, these pros 220 00:11:36,160 --> 00:11:39,480 Speaker 1: can also handle the entire installation or service needed. It's 221 00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,959 Speaker 1: always good to have options and know the pep Boys 222 00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:48,760 Speaker 1: pros have it covered either way. He drives that way. 223 00:11:48,800 --> 00:11:51,080 Speaker 1: But when it comes to fixing cars, Ron has card 224 00:11:51,080 --> 00:11:54,840 Speaker 1: advice done right. Eight five five five zero nine nine 225 00:11:54,920 --> 00:11:58,560 Speaker 1: zero zero. Here's Ron. You know it's it's funny, right 226 00:11:58,640 --> 00:12:01,000 Speaker 1: you read a letter on Aaron. We were talking just 227 00:12:01,040 --> 00:12:03,600 Speaker 1: a little bit of ago. Dr Richard McCann from England. 228 00:12:04,080 --> 00:12:06,880 Speaker 1: So I guess we're on in England today, Tom, because 229 00:12:07,040 --> 00:12:09,720 Speaker 1: I gotta follow up letter. Hey Ron, thanks for reading 230 00:12:09,720 --> 00:12:12,440 Speaker 1: my letter today. You know you can't get You gotta 231 00:12:12,440 --> 00:12:14,920 Speaker 1: get used to this global thing, right, We're always on everywhere. 232 00:12:14,920 --> 00:12:17,520 Speaker 1: It's the Internet, right, it's feeding the show. Your comments 233 00:12:17,559 --> 00:12:19,440 Speaker 1: set me thinking as always. One of the many interesting 234 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,160 Speaker 1: things you said was will self driving car be able 235 00:12:22,200 --> 00:12:25,000 Speaker 1: to see hazards as fast as an experienced driver. I've 236 00:12:25,040 --> 00:12:28,520 Speaker 1: had some experience of this, Dr McCann writes. In the UK, 237 00:12:28,679 --> 00:12:31,840 Speaker 1: new drivers take a government approved hazardous awareness test on 238 00:12:31,880 --> 00:12:35,760 Speaker 1: a driving simulator, controlled of course, by software, similarly that 239 00:12:35,840 --> 00:12:37,520 Speaker 1: of a self driving car. So I had to go. 240 00:12:37,960 --> 00:12:39,920 Speaker 1: I'm the same age as used, so we know about 241 00:12:40,080 --> 00:12:42,520 Speaker 1: driving safely in lots of situations for a long time. 242 00:12:42,840 --> 00:12:45,040 Speaker 1: I'm also police trained in a member of the Institute 243 00:12:45,040 --> 00:12:47,760 Speaker 1: of Advanced Motors, so the test should have been a breeze, right, 244 00:12:48,360 --> 00:12:52,240 Speaker 1: he says. I failed. So Dr McCann, being the inquisitive type, 245 00:12:52,240 --> 00:12:55,000 Speaker 1: he looked into what went wrong, and he writes, and 246 00:12:55,080 --> 00:12:58,439 Speaker 1: here's your point. When I saw, for instance, a woman 247 00:12:58,480 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: with a child on the path and he me sidewalk. 248 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:02,480 Speaker 1: I love how they talk in England. You know we're 249 00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:05,560 Speaker 1: a common people separated we're we're different people separated by 250 00:13:05,559 --> 00:13:08,160 Speaker 1: a common language. Is that how that's saying goes beside 251 00:13:08,200 --> 00:13:10,160 Speaker 1: the road? I clicked a hazard because, as we know, 252 00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:12,040 Speaker 1: it's best to cover the break in case that kid 253 00:13:12,040 --> 00:13:14,640 Speaker 1: makes a sudden move into the road. Here's the thing, 254 00:13:15,320 --> 00:13:18,880 Speaker 1: the software says it's only a hazard when the kid 255 00:13:18,960 --> 00:13:23,960 Speaker 1: is in the road. My point in years, I believe, 256 00:13:24,000 --> 00:13:25,839 Speaker 1: is that by that stage it's too late, which it is. 257 00:13:25,960 --> 00:13:28,840 Speaker 1: You know, what's the reaction time driving down the Thruway 258 00:13:28,920 --> 00:13:31,000 Speaker 1: last night when I was when I was looking down 259 00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:34,840 Speaker 1: the Thruway twelve car lanes back, when that Mini Cooper 260 00:13:34,920 --> 00:13:37,160 Speaker 1: ducked behind the eighteen wheeler in front of the other 261 00:13:37,160 --> 00:13:39,920 Speaker 1: two cars in the fast lane. If that eighteen wheeler 262 00:13:39,920 --> 00:13:42,520 Speaker 1: had tapped the brakes, the Mini Cooper would have gone 263 00:13:42,559 --> 00:13:44,600 Speaker 1: under the eighteen wheel or the other two cars would 264 00:13:44,600 --> 00:13:48,520 Speaker 1: have plowed into that and me twelve car lanes back 265 00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:50,920 Speaker 1: would have had the accident, and that would have been 266 00:13:50,920 --> 00:13:56,439 Speaker 1: a problem. Dr McCann again, it's that greade of hazard perception. 267 00:13:56,679 --> 00:14:00,319 Speaker 1: If that's the grade of hazard perception software available, then 268 00:14:00,360 --> 00:14:02,280 Speaker 1: the accidents that you and I avoid on a daily 269 00:14:02,280 --> 00:14:05,360 Speaker 1: basis will become collisions for autonomous vehicles. As always, keeping 270 00:14:05,440 --> 00:14:08,000 Speaker 1: the good works, they safe and stay healthy, ron yours, 271 00:14:08,080 --> 00:14:11,440 Speaker 1: Richard um. I I think it's a problem. I think 272 00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:14,680 Speaker 1: that they've got to do something better to alleviate the 273 00:14:14,679 --> 00:14:17,160 Speaker 1: potential the what if scenario. They've got to work a 274 00:14:17,160 --> 00:14:21,480 Speaker 1: little bit harder on the what if scenario otherwise, it's uh, 275 00:14:21,640 --> 00:14:24,240 Speaker 1: self driving cars are gonna be a problem. Quick email 276 00:14:24,880 --> 00:14:26,880 Speaker 1: from Sarah in Pennsylvania, Ron. I want to give an 277 00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:29,200 Speaker 1: update on the status of the Avengers inspection. I should 278 00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:32,320 Speaker 1: I should point out Sarah, Um, she's been on the show. 279 00:14:32,400 --> 00:14:35,200 Speaker 1: She actually drives eight hours from Pennsylvania to the shop 280 00:14:35,280 --> 00:14:37,520 Speaker 1: we do work on her car. Um. She had taken 281 00:14:37,520 --> 00:14:40,600 Speaker 1: her card to a Ford dealer. It was a Dodge Avengers. 282 00:14:40,600 --> 00:14:44,840 Speaker 1: She had taken her card to a Ford dealer and 283 00:14:45,160 --> 00:14:46,960 Speaker 1: they told her for state inspection she needs to have 284 00:14:46,960 --> 00:14:49,240 Speaker 1: shocks and structury placed. I assured her that with the 285 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:51,720 Speaker 1: last time we looked at one strut was seeping a 286 00:14:51,720 --> 00:14:54,560 Speaker 1: little bit, but wasn't anything terrible. And Um, I just 287 00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:56,480 Speaker 1: couldn't see where we have to go through the expense of, 288 00:14:56,560 --> 00:14:59,200 Speaker 1: you know, four shocks, two struck shoe struts on an 289 00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:01,760 Speaker 1: older vehicle. I think this is a it's a six 290 00:15:01,840 --> 00:15:03,720 Speaker 1: going on seven years old. I want to give you 291 00:15:03,720 --> 00:15:04,920 Speaker 1: an update. She took it. I took it to a 292 00:15:04,920 --> 00:15:07,120 Speaker 1: different garage without all the people seem to trust around here, 293 00:15:07,160 --> 00:15:08,960 Speaker 1: but they don't have a run in any And thank you, Sarah, 294 00:15:09,120 --> 00:15:10,960 Speaker 1: or any even close to your experience skills and honestly 295 00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:12,840 Speaker 1: on staff. But that's why I drive eight hours, okay. 296 00:15:12,880 --> 00:15:14,520 Speaker 1: I handed over the key set on their couch with 297 00:15:14,520 --> 00:15:16,000 Speaker 1: a good view to the empty lift, and that my 298 00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: car would go on, cross my fingers and help my breadth. 299 00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:20,080 Speaker 1: They drove the Avenger onto the lift, put her up 300 00:15:20,080 --> 00:15:21,480 Speaker 1: in the air, and two guys did the job of 301 00:15:21,520 --> 00:15:23,520 Speaker 1: looking at everything closely. I watched them look at everything 302 00:15:23,520 --> 00:15:27,840 Speaker 1: that was required for Pennsylvania inspection, including the suspension. This 303 00:15:27,880 --> 00:15:29,880 Speaker 1: girl did her homework. Of course you would, Sarah, I 304 00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:31,720 Speaker 1: would expect nothing less. I couldn't take it to the 305 00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:35,440 Speaker 1: closest Dodge dealers because there are crooks and liars, no diagnosis, 306 00:15:35,480 --> 00:15:37,760 Speaker 1: just a pars replace or the Dodge dealer is the 307 00:15:37,800 --> 00:15:39,320 Speaker 1: same one that we spoke about when I called into 308 00:15:39,360 --> 00:15:40,880 Speaker 1: your show about my air bag head rest, and then 309 00:15:40,920 --> 00:15:42,280 Speaker 1: you did a follow up on your show after you 310 00:15:42,280 --> 00:15:44,520 Speaker 1: had diagnosed my car, like they should have. Guess what, 311 00:15:44,600 --> 00:15:46,960 Speaker 1: After they were done, these guys said, one guy stuck 312 00:15:47,000 --> 00:15:48,480 Speaker 1: his head in the office and said, this one passes. 313 00:15:48,480 --> 00:15:50,000 Speaker 1: They put a stick around, and I drove away thinking 314 00:15:50,040 --> 00:15:51,480 Speaker 1: when I have to pay twice to have this done. 315 00:15:51,520 --> 00:15:55,600 Speaker 1: Thank you, Sarah from Goyda's capital U. The problem is 316 00:15:56,280 --> 00:15:59,440 Speaker 1: that you shouldn't have to pay twice to have that done. 317 00:15:59,520 --> 00:16:01,720 Speaker 1: And I wonder if there's a way to file a 318 00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,440 Speaker 1: complaint with Pennsylvania. There's got to be a Pennsylvania consumer 319 00:16:05,880 --> 00:16:08,120 Speaker 1: board or something at the state level to say, hey, 320 00:16:08,120 --> 00:16:10,080 Speaker 1: how come these guys said I did, and these guys 321 00:16:10,080 --> 00:16:13,040 Speaker 1: said I didn't. You know, where's the where's the potential 322 00:16:13,120 --> 00:16:18,120 Speaker 1: for fraud? And you know, the issue becomes that there's 323 00:16:18,160 --> 00:16:21,520 Speaker 1: too much there. There's too many problems, the potential for 324 00:16:21,600 --> 00:16:25,280 Speaker 1: problems with mechanics such as like there's too many potential 325 00:16:25,320 --> 00:16:28,280 Speaker 1: for problems with lawyers, doctors, plumbers. It's you gotta go 326 00:16:28,320 --> 00:16:30,880 Speaker 1: where you trust and hopefully the crook get driven out 327 00:16:30,920 --> 00:16:32,760 Speaker 1: of business because they're not busy. But I'm glad that 328 00:16:32,800 --> 00:16:34,880 Speaker 1: worked out for you, Sarah. Real quick, let's go over 329 00:16:34,960 --> 00:16:37,480 Speaker 1: and talk to Lester um with an a C problem 330 00:16:37,480 --> 00:16:40,680 Speaker 1: from Connecticut. Lester some comments and questions, Yester, and welcome 331 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:43,960 Speaker 1: on board. Real quick. Last week you had somebody on 332 00:16:44,040 --> 00:16:47,320 Speaker 1: from Florida who had air conditioning issue. We city stuffed 333 00:16:47,360 --> 00:16:49,920 Speaker 1: on the gas and right with the ranger and the 334 00:16:49,920 --> 00:16:56,760 Speaker 1: air conditioner. Air conditioning disappeared correct. And I was thinking 335 00:16:56,840 --> 00:17:01,920 Speaker 1: that that may be a vacuum door problem and the 336 00:17:01,920 --> 00:17:07,920 Speaker 1: air conditioner. That vacuum drops off when you step on 337 00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 1: the gas and then it comes back up as you 338 00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:13,879 Speaker 1: increased pep. I guess it could be. But his description 339 00:17:13,920 --> 00:17:17,359 Speaker 1: that I recall was that the the air was there, 340 00:17:17,440 --> 00:17:20,000 Speaker 1: but it was hot. It just started blowing warm air. 341 00:17:20,920 --> 00:17:23,679 Speaker 1: It's not that I don't think he said the air disappeared. 342 00:17:23,720 --> 00:17:25,560 Speaker 1: But you raise a valid point. You raise a very 343 00:17:25,640 --> 00:17:29,240 Speaker 1: valid point. I think his description, and I thought he 344 00:17:29,359 --> 00:17:32,920 Speaker 1: said he heard the compressor click off and not click 345 00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:36,800 Speaker 1: back on. All right, but that you know, may listen 346 00:17:36,800 --> 00:17:42,080 Speaker 1: maybe you know what? Uh, we all communicate at different 347 00:17:42,160 --> 00:17:46,280 Speaker 1: levels and at different different speeds. Um. You know, ask 348 00:17:46,280 --> 00:17:49,320 Speaker 1: anybody has been married more than twenty minutes, right, Um, 349 00:17:49,400 --> 00:17:50,960 Speaker 1: you know, say something to your wife and see what 350 00:17:51,000 --> 00:17:52,479 Speaker 1: she says back to you, and see you know, well, 351 00:17:52,520 --> 00:17:54,960 Speaker 1: I didn't say that, uns she did. Um. The same 352 00:17:54,960 --> 00:17:57,440 Speaker 1: thing happens with diagnosing cars. You have to listen very carefully. 353 00:17:57,440 --> 00:18:00,240 Speaker 1: And I'm not even I'm not perfect by any stretch 354 00:18:00,280 --> 00:18:02,919 Speaker 1: of the imagination. Lester. You raise some good points. Um, 355 00:18:03,000 --> 00:18:05,080 Speaker 1: let's see if he calls back in I had asked 356 00:18:05,119 --> 00:18:10,600 Speaker 1: him to. I know he would yeah, real quick, um 357 00:18:11,320 --> 00:18:19,920 Speaker 1: for cena um nock censor code right zero or three thirty? Yes, um? 358 00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:22,680 Speaker 1: And guy he tells me at the Grudge that And 359 00:18:22,760 --> 00:18:25,720 Speaker 1: I think the guys are good, but you gotta take 360 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,640 Speaker 1: the the whole prop of the engine off because it's 361 00:18:29,680 --> 00:18:35,520 Speaker 1: it's underneath the belly of the intake senor uh. Probably 362 00:18:35,520 --> 00:18:39,680 Speaker 1: should replace both of them. And there's some nuts down 363 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:43,680 Speaker 1: there from maybe from the squirrels. Maybe change the harness too. Yeah, 364 00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:46,200 Speaker 1: what they've what's probably happened is the squirrels go under 365 00:18:46,200 --> 00:18:50,320 Speaker 1: the intake it's warm, and they've chewed up the wiring harness. 366 00:18:50,520 --> 00:18:53,240 Speaker 1: And yeah, I agree because it's too costly in terms 367 00:18:53,280 --> 00:18:55,000 Speaker 1: of labor. Just do the whole thing, get it done 368 00:18:55,000 --> 00:18:56,800 Speaker 1: and get it over with. Coming up next, we're gonna 369 00:18:56,800 --> 00:18:59,960 Speaker 1: talk to Walker Products about diesel gas sensors. Diesel sensor. 370 00:19:00,359 --> 00:19:13,119 Speaker 1: We're back right after this. Hey, Ron, eating of the 371 00:19:13,119 --> 00:19:15,480 Speaker 1: Car Doctor, Welcome back. You know a lot of talk 372 00:19:15,560 --> 00:19:20,240 Speaker 1: in the news lately about emissions controls, emissions problems with diesels, 373 00:19:20,240 --> 00:19:21,879 Speaker 1: and we talked about diesels a lot here on The 374 00:19:21,920 --> 00:19:23,879 Speaker 1: Car Doctor, and we're trying to express the point that 375 00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:26,840 Speaker 1: you know, diesels are cars and trucks too, and their 376 00:19:26,840 --> 00:19:29,040 Speaker 1: power plans for vehicles, and they've got to be taken 377 00:19:29,080 --> 00:19:32,000 Speaker 1: from that perspective, and emissions is an important part for 378 00:19:32,040 --> 00:19:34,639 Speaker 1: them as it is for a gas engine, and we 379 00:19:34,760 --> 00:19:37,119 Speaker 1: thought it would be interesting to talk to an industry expert. 380 00:19:37,119 --> 00:19:39,399 Speaker 1: We've reached out to the folks at Walker Products because 381 00:19:39,520 --> 00:19:41,960 Speaker 1: we want to make the point about emissions and how 382 00:19:42,000 --> 00:19:44,080 Speaker 1: important it is for a diesel to meet emissions. And 383 00:19:44,119 --> 00:19:48,800 Speaker 1: it's not necessarily manufacturers, you know, making software changes that 384 00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:51,680 Speaker 1: affect the missions. Sometimes it's the components themselves on those 385 00:19:51,760 --> 00:19:54,879 Speaker 1: vehicles that can it can go bad, or sometimes the 386 00:19:54,920 --> 00:19:57,960 Speaker 1: replacement parts are or an issue too, and we've we've 387 00:19:57,960 --> 00:20:00,200 Speaker 1: reached out. We're talking to Nick Rennick. He is from 388 00:20:00,200 --> 00:20:01,679 Speaker 1: Walker Products and we're glad to have him here on 389 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:04,359 Speaker 1: the Car Doctor today. Nick, welcome aboard. Hey, thanks for 390 00:20:04,400 --> 00:20:07,560 Speaker 1: having me. Um. You look at diesels and you know, 391 00:20:07,600 --> 00:20:11,120 Speaker 1: everybody thinks diesels are a big truck, you know, eighteen wheeler, um, 392 00:20:11,160 --> 00:20:14,160 Speaker 1: you know, simple animal. But that's not the case today, right, 393 00:20:14,200 --> 00:20:19,720 Speaker 1: diesels are a complicated as complicated as gas engines. Right. Absolutely, 394 00:20:19,720 --> 00:20:23,320 Speaker 1: there's many complex systems in regarding their after treatment. For 395 00:20:23,359 --> 00:20:27,640 Speaker 1: exhaust systems. You know, probably the one that stands out 396 00:20:27,640 --> 00:20:29,520 Speaker 1: in my mind, the one I see the most issues 397 00:20:29,560 --> 00:20:32,520 Speaker 1: within the shop is the exhaust gas temper the e 398 00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:37,879 Speaker 1: g T sensor UM is engine temperature that you know, 399 00:20:37,920 --> 00:20:41,960 Speaker 1: accuracy that important? What's the issue there? Oh? Absolutely? You know. 400 00:20:42,000 --> 00:20:44,320 Speaker 1: The primary role of an e g T sensor is 401 00:20:44,400 --> 00:20:46,679 Speaker 1: to read the temperature the exhaust, as it says in 402 00:20:46,720 --> 00:20:49,240 Speaker 1: the name, but it's gonna send that information back to 403 00:20:49,280 --> 00:20:51,199 Speaker 1: the c U. E CU is going to use all 404 00:20:51,240 --> 00:20:54,240 Speaker 1: the information and it's gonna help to control the exhaust 405 00:20:54,320 --> 00:20:56,600 Speaker 1: after treatment system and tell it what it needs to 406 00:20:56,600 --> 00:20:58,200 Speaker 1: be doing and the function of which one needs to 407 00:20:58,240 --> 00:21:02,320 Speaker 1: be performing. You know, e g T seems to affect 408 00:21:02,960 --> 00:21:06,240 Speaker 1: so many or so much of of of a diesel. 409 00:21:06,280 --> 00:21:08,440 Speaker 1: I guess if there was one central component that really, 410 00:21:08,560 --> 00:21:10,840 Speaker 1: you know, you want to pay attention to as as 411 00:21:10,880 --> 00:21:13,560 Speaker 1: a diesel vehicle owner, it is the exhaust guest temp 412 00:21:13,640 --> 00:21:16,720 Speaker 1: sensor UM. Can you talk a little bit about the 413 00:21:16,760 --> 00:21:20,000 Speaker 1: different vehicle processes, you know, the components, the areas that 414 00:21:20,040 --> 00:21:22,119 Speaker 1: are affected by e g T and then you know, 415 00:21:22,119 --> 00:21:24,760 Speaker 1: if an e g T goes bad, you know what 416 00:21:24,920 --> 00:21:28,840 Speaker 1: happens then because that leads to bigger issues. Right, absolutely, 417 00:21:29,280 --> 00:21:31,719 Speaker 1: so Some of the primary systems which are affected by 418 00:21:31,760 --> 00:21:34,240 Speaker 1: the e G T sensors would be the diesel particular 419 00:21:34,280 --> 00:21:37,359 Speaker 1: filter or the select of CATTALY'ST reduction system. You know, 420 00:21:37,359 --> 00:21:40,560 Speaker 1: those are all components of the exhaust after treatment um 421 00:21:40,600 --> 00:21:43,440 Speaker 1: that we're all becoming too familiar with these days. Um. 422 00:21:43,520 --> 00:21:46,880 Speaker 1: But some of the potential consequences could be severe. They 423 00:21:47,040 --> 00:21:51,640 Speaker 1: include anything from clogg diesel particular filter or DPF. Uh, 424 00:21:51,720 --> 00:21:57,400 Speaker 1: improper regeneration of that DPF, possible over fueling, increased temperatures 425 00:21:57,440 --> 00:22:00,600 Speaker 1: which can lead to exhaust component failure or internal engine 426 00:22:00,640 --> 00:22:04,320 Speaker 1: component failures. Uh, you get that annoying check engine light 427 00:22:04,359 --> 00:22:06,960 Speaker 1: that we all know too familiar. And then you can 428 00:22:07,000 --> 00:22:09,960 Speaker 1: also cause an idol only state or more commonly known 429 00:22:10,440 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 1: as LIMP mode diesel particulate filter. Nick, it's sort of 430 00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:16,879 Speaker 1: like a catalytic converter for diesels, right to put it 431 00:22:16,920 --> 00:22:20,440 Speaker 1: in in simpler terms for folks, Yeah, basically if you 432 00:22:20,480 --> 00:22:24,359 Speaker 1: want to kind of simplify it, and basically like CATALLC converter. Um. Now, 433 00:22:24,720 --> 00:22:28,040 Speaker 1: diesels will also have a d OC or diesel oxidation catalyst. 434 00:22:28,119 --> 00:22:31,199 Speaker 1: But yeah, the DPF similar to uh, you stand a 435 00:22:31,200 --> 00:22:33,600 Speaker 1: CATALYC converter just a little bit more money though to 436 00:22:33,640 --> 00:22:36,720 Speaker 1: replace it. Yeah. Absolutely, Yeah, I've I've heard I've heard 437 00:22:36,760 --> 00:22:38,879 Speaker 1: stories that you know, it's it's like a phone number, 438 00:22:39,800 --> 00:22:42,359 Speaker 1: the price tag on some of those. So, um, you know, 439 00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:43,919 Speaker 1: how long have e g T has been around. I 440 00:22:43,920 --> 00:22:46,000 Speaker 1: mean they've they've been around a while, and then they've 441 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:49,560 Speaker 1: also changed through the years as technology has gotten better. Right. Yeah, 442 00:22:49,760 --> 00:22:51,960 Speaker 1: you know, these have been around for several years now, 443 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:55,920 Speaker 1: and we've seen several different generations of e g T sensors. UM. 444 00:22:56,080 --> 00:22:59,560 Speaker 1: This can include different body styles, the resistance types, and 445 00:22:59,640 --> 00:23:02,639 Speaker 1: temperate your ratings. UM. This is why it's really imperative 446 00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:04,960 Speaker 1: that the consumer replace their e g T with the 447 00:23:05,040 --> 00:23:08,000 Speaker 1: correct O E M style sensor UM, all of which 448 00:23:08,040 --> 00:23:10,920 Speaker 1: we have available here at Walker Products. Well, and let's 449 00:23:11,040 --> 00:23:13,480 Speaker 1: let's go there for a second. So you know, there 450 00:23:13,480 --> 00:23:16,600 Speaker 1: are issues in the aftermarket for gas engines. You buy 451 00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:20,320 Speaker 1: the the white box part unknown quality where it's made 452 00:23:20,840 --> 00:23:24,880 Speaker 1: off shore. We'll leave it there. You're one of the few, um, 453 00:23:24,880 --> 00:23:28,080 Speaker 1: if not the only one that's that's making diesel componentry 454 00:23:28,240 --> 00:23:32,960 Speaker 1: right here in the US. Correct. Yeah. Absolutely, Walker uses 455 00:23:33,040 --> 00:23:36,880 Speaker 1: all O E M base sensors which are terminated right 456 00:23:36,880 --> 00:23:40,159 Speaker 1: here in the US and our Pacific Missouri location, we 457 00:23:40,240 --> 00:23:43,560 Speaker 1: offer an O e M product for an aftermarket price. Um, 458 00:23:44,359 --> 00:23:47,840 Speaker 1: you know, where do you see before we talk installation? 459 00:23:47,920 --> 00:23:49,600 Speaker 1: Just real quick, where do you see the next generation 460 00:23:49,640 --> 00:23:51,480 Speaker 1: of e g T is going any insight and with 461 00:23:51,520 --> 00:23:54,920 Speaker 1: the future brings? Uh, you know, I wish I did, 462 00:23:55,000 --> 00:23:58,240 Speaker 1: but unfortunately I don't. We're we're pretty well just following 463 00:23:58,240 --> 00:24:00,920 Speaker 1: the O E M s like much everyone else in 464 00:24:00,960 --> 00:24:03,720 Speaker 1: the aftermarket. But it's safe to say that we are 465 00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,600 Speaker 1: on top of it and we'll follow them everywhere that 466 00:24:05,640 --> 00:24:07,439 Speaker 1: they go. Yeah, because you guys, you guys are at 467 00:24:07,480 --> 00:24:09,840 Speaker 1: the top of the field up. So let's talk a 468 00:24:09,840 --> 00:24:12,840 Speaker 1: little bit about installation then. You know. It's it's if 469 00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,720 Speaker 1: somebody gets a fault code for an e g T 470 00:24:14,920 --> 00:24:16,920 Speaker 1: or they think the e g T needs to be replaced. 471 00:24:17,480 --> 00:24:19,200 Speaker 1: Is it a is it a d I Y thing 472 00:24:19,320 --> 00:24:21,560 Speaker 1: or is it a professional or is it you know 473 00:24:21,600 --> 00:24:26,160 Speaker 1: a mixture of both. Yeah, So this is absolutely something 474 00:24:26,200 --> 00:24:28,800 Speaker 1: that's gill d I Y customer would be able to 475 00:24:28,800 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: replace on their own. Um, we're trying to reach out 476 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:34,480 Speaker 1: to the d I Y network and let customers know that, uh, 477 00:24:34,600 --> 00:24:37,320 Speaker 1: the sensors are available in the aftermarket, that they don't 478 00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:39,959 Speaker 1: have to go to the dealer get these. Anyone who 479 00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:42,639 Speaker 1: is capable of replacing an oxygen sensor is more than 480 00:24:42,720 --> 00:24:45,800 Speaker 1: capable of replacing an e g T sensor and and 481 00:24:45,800 --> 00:24:49,000 Speaker 1: and the takeaway here is that, for example, as you 482 00:24:49,040 --> 00:24:52,440 Speaker 1: set a Walker product exhaust gast tempt sensor is O 483 00:24:52,600 --> 00:24:55,000 Speaker 1: E is an O e M level quality sensor or 484 00:24:55,040 --> 00:24:57,240 Speaker 1: an O E M sensor at at an aftermarket price, 485 00:24:57,280 --> 00:25:01,000 Speaker 1: it's it's it's less expensive than the dealer as loling um. 486 00:25:01,000 --> 00:25:03,920 Speaker 1: Where can the listeners go get more information? Nick, So, 487 00:25:04,040 --> 00:25:06,800 Speaker 1: listeners can check us out at our website, Walker Products 488 00:25:06,840 --> 00:25:09,560 Speaker 1: with an s dot com. We also have a YouTube 489 00:25:09,640 --> 00:25:12,520 Speaker 1: channel where we have our product videos. There they can 490 00:25:12,520 --> 00:25:16,119 Speaker 1: see a couple different product videos which focus UM on 491 00:25:16,960 --> 00:25:21,199 Speaker 1: sensor installation as well as sensor information. UM. We have 492 00:25:21,320 --> 00:25:24,000 Speaker 1: one there specifically on e g T s They can 493 00:25:24,000 --> 00:25:27,160 Speaker 1: also check us out on our Facebook page. Well means, hey, Nick, listen, 494 00:25:27,160 --> 00:25:30,280 Speaker 1: we appreciate you taking time. UM.

Well, you 514 00:26:41,720 --> 00:26:43,480 Speaker 1: know I thought you were gonna say they were cool 515 00:26:43,520 --> 00:26:46,880 Speaker 1: because you drove most of them. Well, I'll tell you what, 516 00:26:47,760 --> 00:26:50,720 Speaker 1: I didn't drive enough of them. So the hard part 517 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:53,160 Speaker 1: is before we go back to the phones, the hardest 518 00:26:53,200 --> 00:26:56,000 Speaker 1: part is the cars we threw away that we thought 519 00:26:56,080 --> 00:27:01,440 Speaker 1: nothing of, nothing of sixty fo sixty five s s 520 00:27:01,560 --> 00:27:07,840 Speaker 1: Chevel original big block car three three seventy five horse 521 00:27:07,880 --> 00:27:10,280 Speaker 1: motor UM. I don't remember the horse power rating, but 522 00:27:10,320 --> 00:27:12,480 Speaker 1: it was a rare option car. It had. It had 523 00:27:12,480 --> 00:27:16,040 Speaker 1: the UM console shifter, the tack built into the console, 524 00:27:16,119 --> 00:27:19,080 Speaker 1: the gauges in the console, all rear rear stuff. It's 525 00:27:19,080 --> 00:27:21,080 Speaker 1: a primary gray Chevel. Let's just get rid of it. 526 00:27:21,080 --> 00:27:23,000 Speaker 1: What are we gonna do with it? Right? Yea? You 527 00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:26,520 Speaker 1: know thirty two for five window and primer plywood floor. Oh, 528 00:27:26,520 --> 00:27:28,080 Speaker 1: it needs too much work. Let's just get rid of it. 529 00:27:28,119 --> 00:27:32,679 Speaker 1: You know, we were kids, We didn't. You know, I 530 00:27:32,720 --> 00:27:35,119 Speaker 1: can't tell you I had more fifty five Chevis before 531 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:37,600 Speaker 1: I had my license than I've had since I've had 532 00:27:37,640 --> 00:27:40,240 Speaker 1: my license, because they were just people kept giving me 533 00:27:40,280 --> 00:27:42,200 Speaker 1: fifty five Chevs. Ral must need one of these, ra 534 00:27:42,320 --> 00:27:44,840 Speaker 1: must need one of these. And you know, it's just 535 00:27:45,480 --> 00:27:48,760 Speaker 1: that's actually quite funny. Yeah, it's it's it's I had 536 00:27:48,760 --> 00:27:50,320 Speaker 1: a red one, I had a blue one. I had 537 00:27:50,320 --> 00:27:53,200 Speaker 1: a black primer one, I had a gray primer one. 538 00:27:53,240 --> 00:27:55,560 Speaker 1: I think I had close to seven or eight, and 539 00:27:55,600 --> 00:27:58,320 Speaker 1: then I finally got black to black one. And I've 540 00:27:58,359 --> 00:28:00,840 Speaker 1: got black too, so I guess it's a black UM. 541 00:28:00,880 --> 00:28:03,120 Speaker 1: But Yeah, it's anyway. Let's go over to the the phones 542 00:28:03,119 --> 00:28:06,199 Speaker 1: and go talk to John Sparta, Wisconsin, seventy olds. We 543 00:28:06,200 --> 00:28:07,719 Speaker 1: we talked about this car a couple of weeks ago, 544 00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,160 Speaker 1: did we, John, Yes, sir, And I gotta tell you 545 00:28:11,160 --> 00:28:16,200 Speaker 1: you're a man of great value as well. I replaced 546 00:28:16,800 --> 00:28:20,359 Speaker 1: it has that seventy six fifty five Jubi kinch with 547 00:28:20,480 --> 00:28:23,960 Speaker 1: the four barrel and uh I replaced the coral in 548 00:28:24,080 --> 00:28:27,479 Speaker 1: the cap and a pickup coral. And it's been over 549 00:28:27,480 --> 00:28:30,760 Speaker 1: a hundred degrees uh fore or four days? And you 550 00:28:30,800 --> 00:28:34,639 Speaker 1: know what that it starts, cool starts. Cool man you are, 551 00:28:34,800 --> 00:28:39,480 Speaker 1: you are a genius through I just I just remember that. 552 00:28:39,960 --> 00:28:42,840 Speaker 1: I don't know you, dude, I really don't know. I 553 00:28:42,960 --> 00:28:45,040 Speaker 1: you know what, But you know I can I can 554 00:28:45,040 --> 00:28:48,760 Speaker 1: almost remember lunch yesterday. I can almost remember lunch today. Um, 555 00:28:48,880 --> 00:28:50,560 Speaker 1: but I don't know. The cars just makes sense to me. 556 00:28:50,600 --> 00:28:53,400 Speaker 1: I just remember. Listen. You gotta see it. It's it's 557 00:28:53,480 --> 00:28:55,760 Speaker 1: kind of like a it's it's a true story, but 558 00:28:55,800 --> 00:28:57,560 Speaker 1: it happens all the time. If I see you in 559 00:28:57,600 --> 00:29:00,720 Speaker 1: the supermarket, I could have seen you yesterday. I probably 560 00:29:00,760 --> 00:29:03,600 Speaker 1: won't remember who you are. But if you pass me 561 00:29:03,640 --> 00:29:06,920 Speaker 1: in front of the supermarket in your car, I'll go look, 562 00:29:06,920 --> 00:29:08,920 Speaker 1: it's it's John with the seventies solid We just did 563 00:29:08,920 --> 00:29:10,560 Speaker 1: to pick up coil and a capital route around the 564 00:29:10,600 --> 00:29:13,640 Speaker 1: car three weeks ago or um. You know, it's just 565 00:29:13,760 --> 00:29:15,600 Speaker 1: it's just it's just how it's just how my mind 566 00:29:15,640 --> 00:29:18,479 Speaker 1: clicks it. I I you know, let me ask you this, 567 00:29:19,000 --> 00:29:20,400 Speaker 1: what kind of parts did you get? Where'd you get 568 00:29:20,400 --> 00:29:23,959 Speaker 1: parts from for it? I got it from O'Reilly's and 569 00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:27,520 Speaker 1: then George Warren or the guy didn't guarantee me that 570 00:29:27,560 --> 00:29:31,160 Speaker 1: they weren't made in China that um. But you know, 571 00:29:31,200 --> 00:29:33,280 Speaker 1: and unfortunately that's just the way it is today. It's 572 00:29:33,360 --> 00:29:36,680 Speaker 1: it's the older stuff is getting harder and harder to get. Um. 573 00:29:36,800 --> 00:29:39,840 Speaker 1: But uh yeah, that's why I'll tell you what. Thank 574 00:29:39,880 --> 00:29:42,000 Speaker 1: God for eBay. You start looking on eBay for dealer 575 00:29:42,040 --> 00:29:44,400 Speaker 1: close out specials and guys that you know closed out 576 00:29:44,440 --> 00:29:47,040 Speaker 1: dealers from twenty years ago, and they still got some 577 00:29:47,240 --> 00:29:50,880 Speaker 1: Delco made in USA stuff kicking around. You know, that's 578 00:29:50,880 --> 00:29:55,120 Speaker 1: the good stuff. That's that's the last of the good manufacturing. Well, 579 00:29:55,160 --> 00:29:57,640 Speaker 1: the reason I'm re pretty so much. I went to 580 00:29:57,680 --> 00:30:00,240 Speaker 1: classic car shows and I've asked, you know, out of 581 00:30:00,240 --> 00:30:03,480 Speaker 1: the people there and it was Kuel pumping new filters 582 00:30:03,600 --> 00:30:07,720 Speaker 1: and I mean it was all that craziness and and Bygali, 583 00:30:07,800 --> 00:30:10,000 Speaker 1: you hit it right on the Neil. I'm proud of you. 584 00:30:10,640 --> 00:30:13,880 Speaker 1: Thank you, sir. And you know what, that's the stuff 585 00:30:13,880 --> 00:30:15,920 Speaker 1: I'm supposed to do. I'm supposed to be able to 586 00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:18,240 Speaker 1: fix your car. It's not that hard. It just takes 587 00:30:18,240 --> 00:30:20,840 Speaker 1: thought process. Um. But I'm glad I was able to 588 00:30:20,880 --> 00:30:24,080 Speaker 1: help you, John, I really am. Again, You're very welcome. 589 00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:27,719 Speaker 1: Enjoy driving it. Um, yeah, I mean that's you know, 590 00:30:28,120 --> 00:30:31,360 Speaker 1: but that car was simple. That was a basic car. 591 00:30:31,480 --> 00:30:34,320 Speaker 1: There wasn't I mean, we could go wrong with that thing. 592 00:30:34,360 --> 00:30:37,040 Speaker 1: It's it's you know, it's Sparker fuel. I mean, yeah, Okay, 593 00:30:37,080 --> 00:30:40,200 Speaker 1: I pick up coil and I'll never forget. I don't 594 00:30:40,200 --> 00:30:42,920 Speaker 1: know if I told this story before, but I'll never forget. 595 00:30:43,440 --> 00:30:47,720 Speaker 1: We had the next town over, the White Coff, the 596 00:30:47,720 --> 00:30:50,120 Speaker 1: town of White Coff, New Jersey, going back into the 597 00:30:50,160 --> 00:30:54,800 Speaker 1: early nineties, they had just purchased a brand new suburban 598 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,720 Speaker 1: for the chief for the fire for the chief of 599 00:30:57,760 --> 00:30:59,920 Speaker 1: the fire department, right, that's who he was, he was 600 00:31:00,040 --> 00:31:02,760 Speaker 1: the fire department chief. They took it in and out 601 00:31:02,760 --> 00:31:04,959 Speaker 1: of arts mas Chevrolet, and they're gone many years now, 602 00:31:04,960 --> 00:31:07,400 Speaker 1: so I'm not telling tales out of school. But they 603 00:31:07,440 --> 00:31:09,480 Speaker 1: took it in an arts with Chevrolet, because every time 604 00:31:09,480 --> 00:31:12,160 Speaker 1: the car went into a parade, it would shut off 605 00:31:12,160 --> 00:31:13,760 Speaker 1: when it got hot and it wouldn't start. And it 606 00:31:13,800 --> 00:31:16,120 Speaker 1: was very embarrassing to see this brand new fire Chiefs 607 00:31:16,120 --> 00:31:21,200 Speaker 1: truck being towed off the parade route. So it must 608 00:31:21,240 --> 00:31:23,600 Speaker 1: have been like an eight eight or eighty nine, and 609 00:31:23,640 --> 00:31:28,360 Speaker 1: this was took it to the dealer. They couldn't duplicate it, 610 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:29,920 Speaker 1: they couldn't fix it, they could never catch it in 611 00:31:29,960 --> 00:31:35,640 Speaker 1: the act. So it ended up on my doorstep and 612 00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:39,160 Speaker 1: look out a lab scope. I remember like it was 613 00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:40,800 Speaker 1: clear as a belt. I said, gee, you know it's 614 00:31:40,840 --> 00:31:44,400 Speaker 1: logical that what they're describing to me is I wonder 615 00:31:44,440 --> 00:31:47,920 Speaker 1: if we're losing spark timing. I wonder if we're losing spark. 616 00:31:49,120 --> 00:31:51,440 Speaker 1: So I I set up some leads. That was the 617 00:31:51,440 --> 00:31:53,600 Speaker 1: hardest part about testing the older cars. I gotta say 618 00:31:53,640 --> 00:31:55,680 Speaker 1: that the newer cars just making life so much easier. 619 00:31:55,720 --> 00:31:57,320 Speaker 1: With you can get a lot out of a scan tool. 620 00:31:58,040 --> 00:32:00,520 Speaker 1: And we hooked up a lab scope to pick up 621 00:32:00,560 --> 00:32:04,600 Speaker 1: coil output signal, drove the car round sure enough. Before 622 00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:08,800 Speaker 1: the car even started to die, before it started to falter, 623 00:32:09,320 --> 00:32:12,560 Speaker 1: you could see the change in the pickup coil signal. 624 00:32:12,960 --> 00:32:15,080 Speaker 1: The A C voltage signal would start to flatten out, 625 00:32:15,080 --> 00:32:18,520 Speaker 1: and it lost the amplitude, it lost size, and g whiz, 626 00:32:18,640 --> 00:32:22,120 Speaker 1: that's bad. And you know we're able to put it. 627 00:32:22,160 --> 00:32:25,000 Speaker 1: We put an ignition, I'm sorry, pickup coil in it. 628 00:32:25,720 --> 00:32:27,880 Speaker 1: UM put the car back together, handed it to them 629 00:32:27,920 --> 00:32:30,360 Speaker 1: two days later, and they just looked at me, like, really, 630 00:32:30,600 --> 00:32:34,240 Speaker 1: that's it. Yeah, two orty eight dollars and thirty two cents. 631 00:32:34,280 --> 00:32:35,440 Speaker 1: I think the bill was. I think the pick up 632 00:32:35,440 --> 00:32:38,240 Speaker 1: coil was thirty bucks. It wasn't all that tough to change. 633 00:32:38,240 --> 00:32:39,640 Speaker 1: And it was an hour of diagnosis. I mean it 634 00:32:39,720 --> 00:32:42,800 Speaker 1: was like two or fifty bucks, is what I remember. Like, really, 635 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:45,480 Speaker 1: that's it, yea, it can't be that simple. It's I 636 00:32:45,480 --> 00:32:49,280 Speaker 1: think it's kind of that simple. Um. Two weeks later, 637 00:32:49,320 --> 00:32:51,479 Speaker 1: the chief of the White Co Fire Department stopped by 638 00:32:51,480 --> 00:32:52,960 Speaker 1: it and shake my hand and say, geez, I gotta 639 00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:55,200 Speaker 1: thank you. You do with something nobody else could. Wasn't 640 00:32:55,200 --> 00:32:58,200 Speaker 1: that big a deal? Dude's just diagnosis, Isn't that That's 641 00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: what you're supposed to do. Um so, but you know 642 00:33:01,520 --> 00:33:04,760 Speaker 1: that's that's how that's probably how I remember that oldsmobile 643 00:33:05,240 --> 00:33:06,960 Speaker 1: and uh, you know you gotta look up pick up coils. 644 00:33:06,960 --> 00:33:08,600 Speaker 1: Pick Up coils would fail all the time. And it 645 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:10,120 Speaker 1: was the part nobody ever thought of. It was the 646 00:33:10,120 --> 00:33:13,720 Speaker 1: part nobody ever knew existed. Um, but they're there eight 647 00:33:13,760 --> 00:33:16,600 Speaker 1: five zero nine zero zero or on anating the card 648 00:33:16,600 --> 00:33:18,400 Speaker 1: doctor coming back right after this to wrap it up. 649 00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:30,480 Speaker 1: Don't go away, welcome back ran the name of the 650 00:33:30,520 --> 00:33:32,280 Speaker 1: car doctor.

This is by Craig 674 00:34:33,239 --> 00:34:35,960 Speaker 1: Truly You who's actually Jerry Trulyia's son. He writes for 675 00:34:36,000 --> 00:34:38,319 Speaker 1: Total Service Professional, and he does a very good job 676 00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:40,359 Speaker 1: of it. Modes six has been around for many years. 677 00:34:40,360 --> 00:34:42,600 Speaker 1: Technicians have often not made much use of it because 678 00:34:42,600 --> 00:34:45,480 Speaker 1: they find it confusing and often not informative. Yet there 679 00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:47,879 Speaker 1: are school of technicians and instructors who think that Mode 680 00:34:47,880 --> 00:34:49,960 Speaker 1: six is the best thing since slice bread and I agree. 681 00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:52,200 Speaker 1: For our purposes, here we're gonna cover how to read 682 00:34:52,200 --> 00:34:53,600 Speaker 1: Modes six in the real world and how it helps 683 00:34:53,640 --> 00:34:55,080 Speaker 1: just diagnosed a vehicle. And then he goes on to 684 00:34:55,160 --> 00:34:57,040 Speaker 1: talk an article. But here was a pretty good understanding 685 00:34:57,040 --> 00:34:59,440 Speaker 1: of it real world Mode six. Do you get understanding 686 00:34:59,600 --> 00:35:02,640 Speaker 1: modes six? Crick Julia writes, it helps to know exactly 687 00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:06,920 Speaker 1: what it is. Mode six is the criteria that software 688 00:35:06,920 --> 00:35:10,520 Speaker 1: engineers used to allow us to see the information that 689 00:35:10,680 --> 00:35:13,800 Speaker 1: caused the check engine light to illuminate on a specific vehicle. 690 00:35:14,360 --> 00:35:18,319 Speaker 1: This means that every single vehicle has a different criteria. 691 00:35:18,440 --> 00:35:21,520 Speaker 1: Think about that for a minute. Okay, It is also 692 00:35:21,600 --> 00:35:23,840 Speaker 1: worth noting that not every vehicle has it. Has it 693 00:35:23,920 --> 00:35:26,400 Speaker 1: only started finding its way into vehicles beginning in the 694 00:35:26,440 --> 00:35:30,239 Speaker 1: early to mid two thousand's, So that means that, let's see, 695 00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:33,920 Speaker 1: o b D two has been around since nineteen nine six, 696 00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:38,560 Speaker 1: making it n it's coming up on twenty five years old. 697 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:41,920 Speaker 1: And we've got Mode six available for the past fifteen years, 698 00:35:42,680 --> 00:35:45,680 Speaker 1: and yet not every technician fully understands o b D two, 699 00:35:45,760 --> 00:35:49,200 Speaker 1: and not every technician fully utilizes or understands Mode six. 700 00:35:49,760 --> 00:35:53,520 Speaker 1: Kind of scary. UM, I was really impressed this week. 701 00:35:53,520 --> 00:35:55,879 Speaker 1: Before I go real quick, a shout out to Paul 702 00:35:55,920 --> 00:35:57,760 Speaker 1: who was at the shop this week having his daughter's 703 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:00,359 Speaker 1: car service, and he started asking me questions abou Mode 704 00:36:00,360 --> 00:36:03,719 Speaker 1: six and scan tools, and UM, kind of interesting that 705 00:36:03,800 --> 00:36:07,080 Speaker 1: A guy that's not a mechanic, I think understands the 706 00:36:07,120 --> 00:36:09,120 Speaker 1: potential of Mode six more so than some of the 707 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,280 Speaker 1: guys I know that they are fixing cars, are struggling 708 00:36:11,280 --> 00:36:14,239 Speaker 1: to fix cars.
