You know everybody's had a great week it's really it's what we've been -- north hills -- that -- just a road I know that we've we've had quite a bit going on enough. I got quite a few interest -- problems going out their bubble talk about them later we get a chance. And right now I have one call. Looks like Ben Spartanburg with a 2000 also let look at it euphoria Dan.
there. There may be more -- Good habits I'm good looking and euphoria there got a 2000 so let my area. Got traction control antilock brakes. Cannot all of -- certainly traction control light has come oh okay. -- check. Traction control. Headed -- they put the we'll provide some -- to get the coaching. -- get a load. It now just a few minutes ago -- back out probably. Traction control light went out. Although I'd throw around -- thinks things are working fine but. That's been happening for all -- problems. While and it come back alone. Shortly but I can't find anything wrong. I suspect that he. Little computer modeling in the back.
Then -- current. Well he said it couldn't get a code out of.
Yeah yeah they've. The repair shop. Start the computer on the right not to try to get up all code and it does not show anything -- traction control. Now okay well you're ABS slice it also beyond. A BA if like it was 08. You know I committee minutes ago it was --
Okay. Well here's here's the thing first of all that happens a lot we've had it happen you know where where something can be going on -- a c'mon we won't building your code out of it that that does -- they have a lot but does happen. First stated hopefully. They were checking it when the -- was not.
They rejected both arms.
Both times okay. Well. Obviously there's some determined that on and it should be sending a code. It's a possibility that they they may need to use a different type of scanner. That's one possibility. I've been through that -- we have thought. I don't we probably had eight or ten steers it north hills and we share -- throughout the company. And once scare does not do everything and have had a lot of problems were once -- won't get some amount of a car another Long Will. So that that's a possibility right there. One -- things -- of you know it could be admitted lot of things that it could be wrong with it. We'll speed sensors. Are something that. Is very high and the suspect list there. They each -- I don't know if you know about this at all but. Each wheel has its own. Sensor on it that calculates the Speedo that the wheels turning. And it sends that information to the computer the you know operate computer and uses that to. A monitor and adjust that speed we're breaking or traction control. So one of those one of those wheels to speed sensors as a high failure rate because -- tend to break gone from twisting and turning especially in the front or in the front mostly. Are sometimes in the back to the -- fail so that's one thing that has to be looked at on the data and of the -- When they go and skin not just for coast but if they go in their look at. They can bring up the wheel speed sensors on on the skater and watch each one of -- sensors as they go down the road to see if any of them have a glitch and it. So that that's another approach to it.
One thing it did have replaced it had a bracket that failed what are those pictures and in the bracket had broken and so we've replaced by. Oh really. In the strange thing if I can back got a drop way -- the -- down at the bottom -- Clark hit -- on the lights go out. They do not know well that's limit by they'll come back don't.
Okay well that's that's a real -- that the suspect area right there wherever one that you had that problem with with the bracket. I've had it where. The wires. Will look -- go into google.com -- brackets for the connector that holds it out of the way the axle shaft and allows it to turn back and forth. I have had it were the wire -- break inside the insulation and newswire oh look fine at first glance. But it could actually have broker have once ran left -- and or does comes together every time you hit that bump. So that that wheel speed sensor right there is the one that needs to be. Focused time probably right off the bat. So I figured they go about it and that approach and it they're probably gonna find it. Okay I hope that helps you out thank you -- very welcome thanks for -- it. A -- what Dallas that we got a couple. I think we'll get to them when we come back to the breaks of the guys -- just hang in there we'll be right back.

Okay welcome back. Let's just go right to. It had been Greeneville the note to voyager the morning.
Department. Happening in 2002. -- Chrysler voyager McKnight and every wants -- wow I can't pay out a light in the crash that -- airbag Arrested Development at. Yeah. Yeah -- yeah I just wondered what they did it effect at the front of the and it'll come on.
Okay in the air vent light right okay I lost to their for a little bit I heard Doug kind of faded away on -- All right well let's -- me ask you this is your horn work. Yes there's a cruise control work.
Are haven't checked it lately but -- I don't much already did it did okay.
Well out of the reason I was asked him because a lot of times what's going -- those. Which is a very common problem is the clocks spring it's located behind the steering wheel. Okay and that basically. Makes a connection between the steering wheel in the wiring that goes out. To the computer and controls. Or makes it even makes a connection so when you turn the wheel. You're able to obviously it's been wires around the circle because you -- rapid. So the clocks spring basically is a disconnected that allows it to. To rotate and not if they fail after awhile and when that does. You can. While obviously that'll turn on your your -- bad light. But sometimes what happens wear them is when that light comes on. The horrible worker the cruise control won't work sometimes. That is all due to the clocks frank I'm not saying that's it that's what it is but that would be the most likely cause. There's an audit. I would have to think that. I'm miles you got out.
About a 180.
Yeah. I'm sure his drive and replace some point but it's it's I suspect area. It can be a little tricky to approve of it's very intermittent. But. A lot of times with a scanner. We could find it that way. Or -- know check in with -- meter that can be found that way too but -- I would think that's probably what it is.
Data with a -- and a good question they two lead but a scanner on it. Well they plug into they'll -- aware -- devices that's right and -- based gently vacuum leak. And I had a card check and there's no vacuum lake. But then again that's our program is more an -- because talk. If there's a crack in that -- that would actual vacuum --
On the air filter box. No. They won't because that. If that's before. That it has amassed their full sensor. That that leak could be before it and that won't bother the masterful since her at all. If it's after. That it has a masterful sensor and -- after that yes there will affect it. And usually. That. Whatever code he got didn't say vacuum leak it probably said it was lead. -- somebody like that -- doesn't necessarily mean it's a vacuum leak I don't know what Cody got you didn't I don't know if you do you remember -- was.
I didn't write it down he's a guy is one of the local -- anybody.
Okay well in -- Nazis wrong it's very -- very possible but. This doesn't that the code will not say they're leaf vacuum that I really okay it'll say leave -- or something like that. And if there was lead -- could be a vacuum leak or there could be a problem with fuel mixture could media oxygen sensor itself. It how you vacuum leak it could be inject their there's a lot there's many many things it could cause that those particular code so. I'd say we had that that's going to delve further to find out.
Okay I'll try to get their extraordinary economic weekend but I have figured out of them.
Yeah you may or may not get a code out of that you'd have to it it it it probably -- that when the lights on as the best time to check it so you get a code out of it not -- call back. All right thank you take care. Okay next we're gonna go to Leo and dumped him with a 94 Toyota truck. Morning.
Good morning. On this Toyota truck I have developed that chemical leak in the number of war exhaust port. Okay it's shoots from the little stream of water out there. Is do you know of a problem we have not replaces skidded 82000 -- have a little over 200000 bonus mail. Does this sound like I can have -- oh look troll problem. More. This Toyota have a problem with hit. -- right.
Well this -- group whereas you seriously confront.
It's shooting have little if it looks like -- here are coming out of a number of for exhaust port what it's doing is run and into the mud or not into the cylinder. It's it's that the 10 o'clock position shoot -- straight there until look like Ford bought position look I don't error in there when your -- and it.
Okay knows who the exhaust with a loss that's right -- and pressure as the system. A ninth and usually -- it right back here -- up five and I've seen that you know but what it says. Is it build -- up -- up the net book or get cut. Everybody kind of has -- their -- The wipers that they need to go up until you run out of water -- and in the makes a lot of Steve -- made a life. I ask who allowed back ordered who put the world all it -- Ha ha well it's not a cop out try to thought. You could have a hard -- anyway okay you'd think you'd seen this before.
Well I mean I see I see this kind of situation before it sounds to believe. Like there's a crack at that hid somewhere. Possibly up into that there's a lot of times there's a water jacket that that runs can run very close to. The intake exhaust ports. Inside the head. And if obviously if you've got. Got the manifold off and you could see a stream coming out of there somehow are rather that that has got to tracking it. More or somebody else and do it now he says the head to head off before was it off because it overheated before.
Well I've bought it used in the where this Serbs went down close to the manifold but it -- yup. Well actually I had a water leak underneath the all of this danger and I had a war early that was coming up right under the camp shift occurred about six. The -- spec what am enjoying -- and I had a small lead player while every play out when apple would at all but I hope. That. The hit it burned through and he said but. Payroll credit and I think what happened is the guy that owned it before me didn't have water yeah okay. Okay sort of replaced that with a factory new -- That. I've got to accept handwritten. Like twelve felt mild form a bat -- right. And so yes but I have replaced that -- Are. -- I don't wanna do another factory -- sure you don't if if Toyota's got this problem.
Yeah well I mean I I can't say that I seen a lot of these trucks doing that. What am I mean I had have to get into the our computer. System and looks through our. Database you like to find anything on it but I can't do it from here. Bought what I really start to wonder is if you've got somethin' else like you say you've mentioned a white trousers before. That's always a possibility that cost all kinds of coolant system problems. That something that should be tracked checked out but. I'm really wondering you know it is a state run hot at all or do you have any other cooling system issues that are causing this kind of thing that happened. --
Four years ago when I got destructive head of one inch thick aluminum radiator on okay. Now. When in the summer time we end. Your air conditioners blown your run and 65 miles an arrow and -- away and it's really cut. Like hundred degrees yeah okay the temperature would razzle -- I replace that radiator for years ago with the street or. All aluminum radiator -- all you know copper and -- my radio at all metal. There's no heat and problem with that it has not run hot out there and then. In my the other problem. I mean my compression is up. Don't sort of thing I've got up -- 150. Right or or at least a hundred traveled every silver and up. So.
Well. You know -- in that case and now I would have to say that you know you're just gonna have to find another cylinder head. For it you obviously you think you can get reconditioned ones that'll be just fine. I don't think you need to buy a brand new one. I have seen cases where people well those heads I've never really been a big fan of that even though love with the was. With the right person doing the job well this owner had worked fine. I just this is something man I just don't like.
But let me ask you this you don't mind the electro assist check from the water to the negative battery and up what what should be the most I should see a -- there.
Let's see here. 150. It's didn't know I don't think -- she didn't see that much.
They right now what I'm seeing this 78 mil people. Send you yeah and I the only thing I am afraid is like got to get -- by the start the truck and look at it right yeah of course who hearted but I don't know. That's what lights and everything else phone and run and after 23 minute.
Those in a -- always does seem to. Be nasty and matter or does it always seem to be safe clean.
No it's clean and I've changed it. Every three to four years old guys chased the -- phrase yeah okay.
All right well it I don't I don't know I don't think that that you have a what Charles is problem I can't remember this back on that on that really that doesn't -- some needle point 078 --
So it -- it -- point 07 I.
Okay yeah I don't. And hoping that sound too bad arm. But usually what causes that Columbia a bad ground. I would make sure the have a good clean round going back to the battery from the motor. So so it has a way to and I'll be grounded -- that cause a lot of problems there but it's usually I don't think that.
Although danger and even as a ground strip they hit. So firewalls yeah now hip replaced that when I changed that had not put in May or of these straps. Don't cut the.
Age the I don't think that's your -- your issue at all I think it's just you know when the heads off to make -- the blocks good clean and everything makes it had certain that block services flat. When you when you put another head back on there it just sounds like it's. More of a job cylinder head type of issue and I got to go take a break here I hope that helps out a little bit and appreciate it yet no probable officially call on end and let me know I -- gala balance. We're gonna be right back we gotta take a break.

Okay welcome back in before we go to our callers we have the north hills. Carl -- call on us let's see what what's going on over there.
A good morning appreciate it thank you mourning a yeah and it can't not there today on the occasion of that great time and out station this morning that you know often that not only commit to -- like your mom yet one has disappeared in 1999 or Taurus. Thankfully yes 62000 miles. Two owner -- got a great college this one belonged to one of our technicians are also has been maintained of the elders of at that shape been. It's. 399 in its outdoor -- was act act and Eric. -- us all down on the -- we've got it'll be here on Monday would try to borrow money it's 1993 Lincoln town or. 130000 miles it's -- one owner. Are really been taking care of his -- would write letter and a 130000 miles on it and degrade ought to check. -- middle money at this when he gets you gave the 2990. Mile and thank you met with Richard let me.
All right no problem they have to go on -- thanks. While that does sound like pretty reasonable cars okay the Ellis go to chuck in Spartanburg with -- 0:2 Cadillac the morning.
And I don't I'm doing good how real. Well I'd be doing better my car rental -- better.
I guess I know those I know those woes could -- country.
The euphoria I -- that I've gotten a regular idol on this car. And I and a few weeks ago I had changed the oil and filter and air filter and I got the cover on the air shoulder wasn't quite right now and admitted it right over it regularly go we're back expense was okay in the but still when vital right and smart called -- couple weeks ago -- and nine is that might mean that's -- down right. I went in there and bring them down -- very clean on the outside when it took about a five. The black inside there I think that all out. They're back together same sort. I don't know if there's anything else that well I can -- with a.
Okay and it never it is before until you did that do you you've messed around the right. Al-Qaeda.
Good idea that. Return to the scene of the crime.
It's right at well they're what. My -- might taken on that let's see this is 02. You may have knocked off a vacuum lines some winners. That's -- I know I've done it myself. Sometimes when you pull those. Those air cleaner tops off. Further reduction top the -- on top of -- Body. They can get the got a couple poses -- today and usually and it doesn't take much to. Grab a hold of a vacuum line that might be somewhat not not doing so hot in it'll fall off so. Have you looked around. That whole area to see if there's any other -- that may have come off.
I think I have a and I don't know what's going back and secondly and.
Yeah it's tough because it's in -- It's hard to see these stings sometimes because there's still small and especially if you're not not cut our costs in the work and I'm. You may overlook it and it'd be aligned there that's just not quite on their right. It's probably something like that because you said it never did it before. More than likely there's something got knocked off it could even via a wire connections some lawyers that that came off I doubt it has uses check in July -- come on -- it. That when you're putting -- tonight okay.
No one -- sitting there it's it's got its -- very. Very. Miles rob vital I mean it. And it doesn't do when you're driving right when you come to risk stoplight or something then it'll be an erupting. And also are informative. And airs on its better but he said that it because the engine picks up speed a little bit when there when the pressures that's right things on.
Yet they have to pick up the idle speed a little bit to compensate for that load of the compressor because they'd -- they put quite a load on the engine when they when they come on. Yeah that's why would appear to be better but. -- I really think that -- got some knocked off their somewhere and that's probably all that it is I mean it it's too much of a coincidence that. The way that happened to youth. So more likely that's all it is. If not it may wanna bring it into one of our locations let us take a look at a foreign. That's up to you.
Well a take it over again. Independent not remembering and it.
Yes that's fine but -- take a real good look at it take dead air cleaner back off and just look around very carefully take your time. And just see if everything looks like it's in the right spot and if you're not sure go ahead and grab someone and lines you see any and just see where they go make sure the -- hooked up. All right you're welcome thank you. Okay next is Mike in Spartanburg was an 8:9 -- in the morning.
good thank you are you. It looked and that I have already had 1980 now and suburban would be up for fifty or it while -- They acquired certain that about mile in a altered from. Neglected Beers in a hurry and all winnable for -- Setting out my water and -- cartilage go to there were frequently and on the ground yup. All the -- Couple weeks -- replaced free float underneath. All thermostat out -- that waters start pouring out -- actually a good idea all of the bill -- Okay great pouring out. And I'm like Iraq and a -- cracked me -- other. I think longer you -- but I'm they had.
The air this year is there's OC wonders there's at least two of them back there that holds colon in the motor how people from coming out. They probably -- it is well you said now this is after you just took the thermostat out.
Right after the thermostat out and replace the -- organ you know bond bill directly from the okay. In it and I'll turn up after he met all the sudden it -- or well not bode well. -- no problem but it brought -- depth offered.
In this business so they can write you know today or is it just it'd just to have for a little bit.
Alda it it is yeah that was stopped them it would never -- starter Ernie thank occult Leah. --
Another reason I'm asking -- because sometimes if you film up through there and usability it runs down the intake and it runs out the back of the motor -- looks like it's leaked out of the back of the motor.
Yeah I don't know that I would let -- okay agree that no you can't. --
I -- yet either pull the transmission -- there's an outrage no other way. To do it then I was suggesting it knocked all the freeze plugs out of it. At this point probably in. Especially the back once because that's Lotta times motors angled back a little bit. And -- that's real lot of your Ross and stuff could build up for the bottom of the freeze clogs. Sounds like it has. A lot of Ross built up inside the block who want to stars the Ross. Of course that stuff kind of accelerates. -- I would say young. -- gonna have to do something with that for sure and -- why you got him freeze plugs out don't be scared to. Sloshing water through there and try to get this stuff cleaned up. And now they also make a and I think it's press stone got to check around little -- in the name of it but they do make a chemical that's relatively strong. That will. Slow that. Mozart eat a lot of that stuff up and help you get that block flushed out.
The good spirits you know are now wondering relatively new -- well all kinds not all that. Well elect Krug is probably has buildup of their score to water Bob or got to go.
Bill will eventually -- that will study cleaned out good I would try to do that chemical flaws before you pull the freeze blogs out even though it's sleek and drain everything out best he can. I get that chemical in their lessons porn out the back -- bad.
Or -- it is or out. Justice -- power to reduce certain level it just flowed on the --
In that case you're gonna have to do those -- first and then after that. Get the chemical and put it in there and they may have to do it -- once again all that. Try to help neutralize some of that -- flush it out of there. And not after that you'll probably be okay.
Well we use for the expandable breeze blogs there are poised a lot of opt out -- or maybe I could ever replace the one to the back. Acted. You that would grainy and.
You could -- my recommendation is stay away from them expendable ones get the right -- back in there and use them as a permanent fix. Those -- venables are dangerous. Right now the moment only I Betsy and half the ups and could have -- audacity is also going to implement in there and you'll be all set. I don't a very well these comments but here we gotta take a break there we're gonna come back to Dave who had Spartanburg with a 99 crown -- will be right back.

And of course I've got -- have been changed and everything and but it it. Almost like it you'd turn the switch completely off. And then go all the way back on. Occasionally that will work and it will allow. You know it it -- be -- crank but. Is this like is not yet enough to get a fire like and noticed riveter used to -- you know where the rotors band and has the right thing. Of this wonder what what to do up or there.
Well let's see now so let me just to make sure got this clear -- turn you into turn -- all the way over the engine spinning over but -- won't start up.
That's correct occasionally and that's that not all the time of course. As just occasionally it would do that.
Okay does seem to be hotter called when it does that.
That -- they actually not know.
Visit as it always after Iran.
Yes -- it is okay well. I know there's there's -- believe Internet hunters a lot of things it could be.
You know this is this where we run into trouble in the shop. With vehicles -- You have to have a place of stars what it comes down to and what we normally would do is we'd look for fuel pressure sparked. Things like that is the basic stuff we call it then. Now. When it won't actually star up Enron how long did doesn't seem like it takes four will.
Well I'd and it had to ground on it you know turn the switch on and off for. Several bands incentive and it's. It occurred only twice yesterday the -- consistently but. It it did eventually crank. A little concerned whether or -- it was -- and Atlanta and went. That in the garage into what typically have right cranks right. Really crank -- rapidly -- might count it down.
Okay well out there what I'll throw some things out there that it could be -- course you know who always without check and it's hard to say but one. One of the first things comes to mind is possibly some with the ignition switch. And -- could have a bad. Connection in the switch. And it's not. Oh getting it's all -- out to the -- or the modules like it's supposed to be at that time. So that's one possibility and I say that because the fact you say you turn and on and off. Do it back and forth and and sometimes it'll seem like it starts. So that's that's one possibility. Or that may have nothing to do that all like that could be all coincidence when you turn in the OK so now the next day we would wonder they also and I'm pretty sure 95. They have what's called it eco relay. Which is -- basically -- relay for the computer and they have -- relay for the fuel pump. And those two relay is a lot of times are tied together I've seen a lot of problems went -- And it could be a possibility that the use the eco relay -- the fuel pump really are both. Have a problem. And it just decides every now and then that is not gonna work and that will. You'll lose market you can lose conjecture -- spark all kinds of stuff ability either one of those relays. Does not work like it's posted. So that's another possibility. He could also have a bad fuel -- That's another one and did you lassie comes -- minded depending on what ignition that is could have a bad emission control module possibly. So you know there's lot of things out there is sold -- too much for radon at the crack.
Okay you any money all that and then Nixon's wage. -- order. What what what would be a remedy for that -- replacing the entire thing patients.
Now. A lot of -- 95 Rangers still might be on top of the column. Down -- that down the bases steering column I believe if I'm not mistaken. And that is just have more of a pain to change -- anything else they're not really that expensive some Lamar. And again you know I hate to CF. Have to throw anything -- it without -- what's really wrong with that. You know because. Get expensive that -- as well. But. Not if this suppose that came into the shop that's. Those things that throughout their roles and things will go right after we -- we could do that pretty quickly and efficiently. In the shop because we can we can eliminate those things pretty pretty quickly as long as a vehicle does. What you're saying to us when it's in there and it becomes a mind I had one. Well last year that was arranger who was doing the same. Type of thing and I ended up put them that to relay is in there -- net straighten him out but. Now who knows in this situation here. -- to get in big trouble whether in my wanna brain injured mechanic. Or -- or you know whatever and they might actually be more cost effective for you to let somebody look at it than it would be too. You know impossibly throw stuff that -- know once he gets. Getting data rich quick at it as a quick or is it your welcome dot thanks for giving us a call. Okay we got put -- or caller is on the line right now only get about five minutes or so to. Four win the show. So if there's anybody out there wants people question in real quick if you're Greeneville give us call it 2329673. Or 5749673. In Spartanburg. Otherwise I guess all this talk about. What kind of week -- have a and now we had a lot of air conditioning work this week I'm sure there's a lot of people out there have an air conditioning problems maybe one you've got. A quick question about that you wanna we wanna give us a call real fast here lines are open so. You wanna get somethin' in there are going gives -- And you know air conditioning is. A lot of people. -- it phased out gradually over time planned. You don't notice it's kind of like a bad shock absorber. They kind of you drive -- time you used to have bounced around a little bit and then all for you know it can -- safety and air -- you can do that too so. Okay we it would give one call -- a sneak in year old quick and that's Chris in Spartanburg with a note to dodge.
you don't have -- good morning the cat got your -- question for you okay great look at -- error on it works. And then occasionally also and his two extremely -- like a term -- all. Really I don't run air very often that would try to run it more often maybe it's just not being used enough. Problem in the -- we have now. Maybe remedy -- but it like it switches over which he. While I did so it doesn't just go warming actually gets hot it gets hot it is from cool to. It works normal but it might do within five minutes or maybe fifteen minutes but he just like they're just earnestly all Oreo.
Okay and it's an -- to dodge okay. Well see a lot of those. Have. They don't use it well I don't know about this particular one in my easier control -- But a lot of these. Have motors that control the the doors on the -- actually because you handle the doors a controller. The frost and event left in the Florida -- position and then you have one that shuts off the heater core. With a large door that blocks to hear more often and allows the political past it. Now almost sounds like that motor. Either. Is somehow. Turning back. In some way I'm not sure if that has electronic set up for an honor cable that door may not be shutting all the way but -- to all of a sudden just go to he'd like death. There's got to be somehow that doors got to be opening up.
Those bats -- would only. Yeah as to hold back we have come out try to.
Yeah that's a possibility in you know I I hate the user when I don't have all the information. In front of me but. For the most part that's that's exactly what it sounds like is you know if the temperature goes up that high. An -- you know difference for from a just BC going out verses of the heat coming hot cuts -- and it's -- hundred degrees out. Are they have a death that's eye date can now also my next my biggest thing I would really wonder about that is if it has a heater control valve in this in the here rose. Probably does not but if it does that would be a high suspect area right there. -- so it sounds like he might have to get someone's gonna have to get under the dash and some of those. Motors and doors are accessible. Under the dash to sell them you can't even see him so it's a possibility that could end up getting torn out if the diagnosis comes down of that. Hopefully that helps out -- I thought all right Chris thinks -- us. All right I got a quick that I got a couple minutes here so let's go to Mike agreed to build a 92 Mercedes-Benz. Got one minute.
Yeah I -- examined. Well. Are probably due going to talk about that I've -- to court blew out. It was bypassed. Good result but that -- Who it's been replaced -- we just seal. I guess it's the kind. But now. I we've got a problem just driving it with water. This hearing. And having to keep putting water in the radiator are -- April -- there's no radiator Apple's. It. But it built up pressure yup you're -- actually below the hole was also the top who mediator OK you know. I'd write that down and put it back tightened it down again and it -- actually explore right off.
I got about eight seconds first ignited an F five seconds that come down to possibly thirst that are cracked there's some game combustion inside your coolant system. Now with him more time to talk to but I gotta go. Wanna calls back next week -- glad to talk about -- next week. -- All right that differs show. --
