We wanna have you join this is more in the lines are are jammed right now one person hangs up that'll be your queue to get on board to. And we'll take your telephone calls in the order in which they were received broad got a little fishing in not a lot not as much as I'd hoped. We went down to down that to the shore if they hear from New Jersey went down the shore but if -- round from our ground he went to the beach for a for a week or so and -- offshore fishing. And had a good time caught some Mahi and now Wahoo. And let's see always barracuda -- as -- Peter. No no use for barracuda whatsoever -- lines up and many big teeth -- But we had a great time and -- mischief but we're back. Let's see lines are loaded -- and we'll take these calls analyses Adam I think is up first this morning with a a 99 Audi. The morning.

All right Gary you know I had to go to you sure you restore your butler wrote this week to pick up one in my -- that broke down yeah and -- wondering why did the -- in -- had such great and.

Well you know we do we do get to have a little bit of fun once in awhile.

It everybody's entitled to it.

Yeah that was Jake about their he's he's got the out. The Iraq who looked going you know he's got his sunglasses on so that he's not handle and the guys and ladies and everywhere.

It's. Gonna look at the new foreign. I I got 88. Audi a six quite true. We can or old. And the two point seven and it okay and they're leaking oil from the front Mike got underneath it and act out color up top. Com -- saudis have all that plastic cammarata. And I hands. I tried to tell it -- comments from the valve cover gasket or the champs seal. And I really doubt it comes from the dot -- get -- are the -- until the Taurus leaks or due on building out there that could be leaking.

By the Los that the can be economic front but. Can't seals is that and repeated very top of the engines of this is -- a leaked this looks like as the starting from the top of working its way down then. Then that's a good guess they also leave the cam adjusters are there. In income -- Canton in almost every car out there in the world today and and the cam adjusters are sometimes the might be some leaks around those areas. And the way we approach. Engine oil leaks is that the first thing wanna do is -- make sure that the PCB system is breathing on the car we're not building excess pressure inside the engine which is force an oil out of places not supposed to come from. So that's the first thing on mixture PCB systems are ventilated working well and then we're gonna start with -- oil leaks at the top of the engine -- way down. Lot of guys you know they've -- the -- and air and sea oil underneath it is they had a low paying guest is -- and career Maine all seals leaking or whatever. Well at -- gravity is and working against us here so. --

My. My problem is that you know the front of that it's pretty tight -- have that big plastic wrap and running you can Nazi. In their. -- did take every single to audit find out about -- the front of the outcome you know.

Well the way we would approach set at that the shop is we would. Clean it down as best we could we we've -- sprays and some high pressure and washing ukrainians and generally good and then we would put die in the oil. And then and then we would take it out drive it curved NO good period of time they need even have you driver for a day or to bring it back and then we take a black light. And look at these and see exactly where -- comin' from so we're not repairing. Leaks that don't exist. So -- and then you may have to take some of that should you know plastic covering and as decoration -- off to actually get to the point we can see hard metal in gasket and sealed areas to. To determine exactly where leaks come from that the die is a good way to go because that way year you know you got thrown parts on that you don't needn't spend money on labor you don't need.

All right -- all right take care to call their egos. That's amazing I get in here and I'm Powell lending in this twenty years probably somewhere and an Huber put. I go away for two weeks that come -- and now what pushing buttons are pushed to do this and what the exits as like -- forgotten how to do this but it'll come back which. Policy to three to 9673 in Greenville. And 5749673. In Spartanburg. We do have to open the lines right now -- to have you join us and -- parker question matter what it is we'll take a stab at it try to at least that you often the right. Direction this morning here is up next is Janet -- 92 Honda Accord -- Janet.

ironic how to conduct court okay and first thing in the morning driving to work on for quite some time. And it got the way and it's not on the rest of the day it's only first thing in the morning what you're able to look --

Well absolutely the very first thing we wanna make sure is at the the Reza forceful fluid.

It's it's not all it's about. Three quarters full.

Okay that that as probably the problem. There -- gore has a little was sensor and and and when it gets low end and we don't want brake fluid to get. Very -- all so we we we turn that light on pretty early in the process. Are so. I would topple debris including need to make sure use the right fluid. It'll say generally on the top of -- filler cap of that brake fluid container or. -- or on the side of it somewhere -- and certainly in your handbook in the in the owner's manual core. It'll say exactly what fluid to use. It's probably gonna be at -- with the call. A dot for. --

here at. --

Yeah you might not you might not want put that in until you are sure what -- What are what's required OK but don't ever donor for the wrong fluid in any. Any Fujifilm on the core motor oil transmission. -- transmissions. Brake fluid for sure. And you don't -- next fluids so put that put the put the right stuff and their -- my guess is if it's. That -- model vehicle it may be a -- for fluid which is a synthetic brake fluid. Online but check that first now if that's not the case than to hand brake. Can turn they had the light on and Clark and if you push it down maybe wait a little bit see the light goes off but I'm I'm pretty confident the the fluid is gonna be a little low and you're gonna fix it and -- you know a slow you used in the slow enough to worry about. And by the way what is brake -- yet low. Well either because it leaks out or because the brake shoes -- break passive worn down to a point. That the fluid has gone into the calpers and into the wheel cylinders. And down. Generally low brake fluid. Means that you've worn out some components in a brake pads and and she isn't so you ought to have your brakes checked to make sure that now getting low. On on your.

Finals -- last year that thing went. Harry and -- brat -- aren't gridiron -- the baboons could be could be ready to go.

Or and it just could be that they everything's -- in that much more since last year nobody stopped off the fluid since then and it's time to top it off.

I appreciate it.

All right Jen thanks so much appreciate the call right we'll get our breaking here it's the lines are. Wide open now perfect time to call and these summer months sometimes -- vacation it's a little bit quieter.

On the many of -- many of these old cars on the top on the -- the carburetor area on top of the intake manifold someplace they would print the firing mortar. -- And a lot of those old forces and and other cars as to who was 18436572. But. They want 18436572. Now I don't know that that's what it was a 68428. For sure but that that was a very common far in order.

Or trouble want -- proportionately don't. Probably going to be don't want.

But -- unity and hated her for something and tell us yesterday Google. He's it's and 68428. Ford. Barring ordered our guarantee is that come up a hundred places.

Yeah bill by any. A trade and capital about that particular job that amount as a distributor and adult look like is detonated to operate.

on -- take -- and well let me tell -- a couple things that used to go wrong with these old -- okay. Com. That the distributor plates would go bad inside the distributor the sugar Ali is the is the part that rotates inside distributed at that point it's actually -- to. And if you can take -- distributor cap off. Do two things one grab hold points and just kind of wiggle on back and forth side to side to see if you got a lot of emotion in that sugar played. The other thing is take the rotor button off. And grab Ahold of the distributor shaft. And see if it's got any lateral movement any back and forth moving not up and down this gonna have a little bit up and down. But back and forth those distributors used to wear out those cores and a distributor plates I can't tell you how many -- sugar plates -- old -- years ago. And they were and they will not run right if you can't get the point sit right.

know above three shelves. Oh my plate should help you didn't do you need to replace the old cougar --

You can you can buy it what used to be able to -- point plate now I don't know whether he can still buy that or not but. You might have the -- rebuilt distributor -- but that I'm not saying that's was wrong with a car missing that's a common problem has sounds like he's danced around the whole thing in. And that that would be something easily overlooked the other thing is you know what this thing's got to jump timing -- That's some big problem on those old VA it's you know the change would jump on -- and that thing -- You know 3040 degrees at a time you'll never make it run right.

So. Let you know. It -- you just don't like it urgent. Well did you --

Well yeah you can you can do it that way but it's just gonna jump again because. Because it's the zionist killer. But he can put it you can get it crank -- that does on zero and get the -- which Sony is number one and get that impression upon number one stroke and and then look at that distributors see worst point -- cap and if it's not point a number one on the cap then it's off.

Well -- at -- of patriot. A total of print it take -- Great. Credit relative. I'll place it. Done -- you know you really want. --

Well and and and obviously the easiest way to check that is I think -- that they do compression check on. If you gotta if you got a valve open on it it's gonna have no compression -- and it's either burn.

Still want you know I wrote about it. -- want -- get -- that I know who would soon and my friends through your heart out all the brainchild of agent and it did earlier --

Andy could have a massive vacuum leak somewhere -- there -- a cause that. I got to let you go blow appreciate that I hope we get that things turned out. All right appreciate it. All right. Yes 68420.

Mark -- you are much. You know I've been on on the on vacation for two weeks and so I ought to be doing great and I'm proud to say I'm tired that the that the.

That Larry yeah yeah he gets -- you know euphoria. As to dial are -- about fourth or priest are my hand and -- haven't clogged -- problem are better than -- everywhere you can like. But we can be writing down the road edit them all the electrical stuff only unsigned order shot back on the air conditioner. I anterior Y it was a -- and a black on black golf. Let it resigned jets and nobody can bring about a minute aren't almighty -- we give me a heads up on --

Well. You're losing. All the dash slice you losing boring radio you're losing interior lights you losing everything.

Everything. -- But it actually goes through a cycle once they -- so this. Only in our advice sometimes you're -- common cold -- about it data -- that night and in the -- so it you know it doesn't matter what -- they're logic rather.

Well let me give you a couple things that has to start by distance and visual checks and I'm sure you've had a -- different places and no doubt -- many of these things averted and been checked but done. You know we get electrical failure either we have a ground failure or we have a power feed failure one the other in the got to cut off one side -- to make -- golf. So we wanna check both sides of this thing. And generally went -- form or messing with bullet electric electronics and things technicians in general they. They come to think more of the power side nick sort of forget about the ground side some assume for a minute here that the people who have been looking at this thing. Have sort of neglected the ground side of it wanted it wants you to look at the engine under the hood of near the battery. All around the body find the grounds on this score you may have the systematic. Now -- no wiring diagram and it'll list every every place that there's a ground on the score. And go to those -- points and make sure every ground wires tight it's clean it's got a good connection. That that would be that to me and her very first place to start and and then the second side of that thing courses the power side you got. Power the battery and they've got power connectors that go to fuse panels and most cars now have. Sorts maybe two or three different fused panels and one of -- is gonna have. Pretty good size fuses in that they might be anywhere from 3250. Hands. And then it's possible that one of those. Heavy fuses is is a loose connection the back giving him I want people to fuse panels up and actually look at the wiring it goes into the back of it. Take it apart and without disconnecting more -- just to take it off it's melting off them. Side of the fender well wherever it's mounted and look at the back as you can see anything that might. I give you a little clue there we eagle test suitcase take -- wiggle on the seat and make lights go on and offer make things stopped working. The other thing to fort had a lot of issues win over the years is it is ignition switch is sticking. And not allowing power to feed through to switch to other components now. I don't think that's gonna make the interior lights not work but it would make the dashed lights not working other things. Then the final thing that this is. Certainly suspect is something called -- BC am which is the body control module. And most modern cars have everything on electronic in that car run through two basic models on the Koran -- might be multiple modules but to different types of modules. One would be engine control modules EC -- and the other is BC and her body control modules. A company like BMW might have fifteen modules on her car. How Ford is gonna make a little more simple denial then they only have a handful. But the BCA and then to -- of main. Body control module has its circuit board inside of its got a little loose solder joint. It's a little hot it opens up it's cooled off again it closes makes contact again be on an all kind of thing. That's certainly is a possibility. And may have some codes in it there's need to be read by code reader to. The -- at the thereby give us some clues as to whether the BCM might be bad -- if somebody pulls the codes on the BCM. And it's thirty codes in there. It's a good chance you got a bad BC -- All right -- I gave you a lot there and just a short period of time and it's. It's it's it's tough to take over the phone but at least maybe that -- start in the right direction at least something to look at and a hopefully get straightened out these these intermittent problems electrical problems are the worst nightmare for any -- customer and and for and believe me for any technicians. That's -- Yeah nor can they can they can drive you crazy.

I'll I'll get it going up I get back somewhere they get it checked and water well. They want I can't limit or there's a lot.

Knowing. We've we'd be happy to check before it any of our locations. --

So this is up from the movie cars -- James terrorist things are town. I think -- watch that movie 47 times goes on vacation with my two and a half year old grandson he. I know the storyline really well now and I I know all the songs and everything I can do all the dialogue. Anyway welcome back in the show Ken gamble here really on a Saturday morning glad to I enjoyed doing it does it was fun we set there we watched movie. Over and over. He really likes them be okay -- Jack. Intel's -- this morning we have frank when he Fran.

And Hillary you. Are pretty good I guess I'm not any -- 96 Ford Ranger. That. It given out for real hard. Leon. Edit it spend all forgotten. What won't start. And now. Forty -- not quite under the distributor. They've edit after that it did pick that though they thought it might be easy. -- planet -- And that would change the math and knocked. And they decided it might -- And -- that you've got to have the budget put in all the way Marie or it won't start that we change yeah.

No man has got the will not even turn we said it would turn over.

All of -- all of -- that can. And what really got me now is. If you put it -- our -- okay it might run early. No problem and then -- all of a sudden it won't are you push it -- and you are not.

But it's it sounds like the beneath it's it could be this simple that -- that the ignition switches bad. You know that the thing has two sections of the gases which it has a run. Part where you turn the key ended and you're driving down the road and it's and it's -- run position -- Gore's running and then it in this start position it needs to have. Power going to the -- electrical system so it's got. You know so it's -- ignition. And if you can put it in gear put it in run. On ignition switch and push the car and it starts. Then it sounds like ignition switch is bad in this start mode in this in the switches that. Could just run around.

Are you are you check that out. Where where would it not beginning you know.

Well to the computer. From from the ignition switch to the computer to tell that tell everything -- it's time ago here. Okay so but not now here's one of more on the problems -- doing this thing over radio's on the looking at the car and you know on you're giving me some you know some some some things that are of that that you're seeing and things that you've tried and stuff and Armstrong but the thing together and say. -- a little logic and say it'll run when you've got that thing in the run position but it won't start.

Boy sounds like it's it's gotta be right there conditions which. And amber are talking about the mechanical portions which the key in the locks are not talking about that talking about the electrical portion of the -- which. And let's face it fourteen years ago I go it was new and now it's old. Let's let's start -- that okay. Aren't gonna know I do -- for it thank you know sometimes it's the easiest things that doesn't stumped us 11 is --

You learn. The morning you get. I have put 91 Nissan hard body trapped -- a whole ton truck yeah. I have had a couple appears on this economic data -- belt to breaks is definitely right. What I'm worried about is there's. What is that they element had been built for timing -- on this site it's only gotten an 8000 miles and I'm pretty sure -- it has ever been done. And Brian Nash running good -- up had a timing chain break before and that's not britney's.

Yeah and what -- motors and then. Yeah and you know and there's something in the back my and I can't remember was in the late eighties or early ninety's that they did have some chain problems on those Nissan four cylinders. And it wasn't the change so much as a problem that was the the tension there and guides that would that would give up on -- to -- in any noise rattling sound.

That I can sail and got that up I had one bright coming at about that mileage I don't know other vehicles some years ago didn't -- Vehicles that assignment this is a good vehicle I really liked it I just don't want that --

In my experience on those is that is been that. -- you start making noise when they're called me first arm in the morning a rattle it'll be fearless. Expression noise out of the data from the motor and they will give you a little warning before they. Just -- them to sit there and explode on it.

Rock but it is a change no mistake a lot of --

You know I'm pretty sure it is and and 91. Out. That you could tell by just by looking at it that's a plastic cover. On the on the timing covers plastic. And it's and then it's a belt if it's. Aluminum hard you know metals some sort and it's a change.

That's change. And most of the time that can't go to about a 140.

Yeah I'm not seen him go even higher than that stance on on how well they've been maintained and how are they've been running whether or not the input of --

Yeah I think that the well let's -- make our government actually -- day and had no troubles. Yeah but I just I would bet that an issue that is always in the back Amanda and.

India have good oil pressure. Pressure because -- that chain detention on it is kept by well pressures of men sometimes in the chains rattled in Mosul motors it wasn't a chain that was that is the back to the motor distant -- of low pressure to keep attention on yeah. All right thank you and I learned for the call there he goes very come awfully short they're. In -- sworn in donny's. --

Yes I have they have these out war we don't Avalon it. 38 now the mouse so basically everything is they want it did it had been. I've got an engine light comes on and obvious things work that lol now I don't like our. Other than just the -- yeah okay what what would be obvious things that you. Was suspect I don't think -- children unless that would negotiate these feel good and everything. What -- do what would you think would be obvious.

Well then so you don't EM got any -- that that we don't know what wildlife.

said the mission because -- the diamond does designation.

Okay so itself and we're talking about every -- of emissions. The visit visit will be on leave that code is okay so discussed in Germany that couldn't get gas tank. Gas caps is certainly the most common problem that not getting tightened down well enough after your fill up for the cap itself does being bad. But down. The other the other thing is so there's there's lines that run this Illinois. That that could be bad it opens and closes the the -- that system and that's a very common problems that you -- Illinois. And then there's there's lines there's houses that go from the front he has all the way to back them that the gas tank if there's any compromise in that in any way. -- cracked because of aging war.

You know that's I don't think that would be the case here.

Okay -- and it may not but it's not an impossible thing to to figure out you just have to go through the trouble tree and and and run it down but that he that's Illinois I guess would be that thing that we come to my mind is being one of the most common problems. All right come -- EO Don appreciate the call thanks what you call and in this morning thanks for all of you who have listened. Point plum run out of time but will be back next week on the driving like -- C then.
