Don't be late to c'mon down pick one out and take home today. -- North hills auto.
Sales. Is the place -- pipelines are -- appear before we get the telephones so. I I am sick and tired absolutely. Sick and tired. Of seeing. Cars with sludge to up engines. There's no. Reason for and you might say well it's a consumer's fault -- not -- and -- well off enough. May be. Really though. The blame lies squarely. At the feet of the manufacturers. For not recommending. World change intervals that makes sense. Mean -- oil change intervals after today folks that are every 101000 miles every 151000. Miles. It's unbelievable and and the reason it's such a big deal was because of oil slugging and you know you drive your car every day and that will gets hot it's kind of baked on a little bit and it breaks down and it's gotta be changed. At -- or change it often enough that begins to. Sludge. And sort of -- ideally and get all -- ducked inside of your and you say well you know what why is that such a big deal. Well has there -- lubrication. And the part severe engine internal parts of your engine that have to be lubricate -- at today's cars today's engines have a lot more moving parts. Inside of in the need to deliver Qaeda then old engines do well happen that day. Mean years ago what we had camp's effort crank shaft we -- pistons and you know rock her arms all that stuff timing chain. Don't -- still have that oh yeah -- they do they've got it and they've got at times to work times for. Some cars today have four camp chest instead of one VH with overhead cam engines have dual cam -- and the children. And massive timing chain systems they've got. One of the things that I ran into this week that maybe thank goodness. Is a problem once and Nissan. Cars and V sixes that pathfinder's stares you know some of the new V6 cars from the say back in around 20020012002. Whatever during this particular one I was working moms of 2002. And need this got it it's got a system on the cam shafts that and advances the cam timing -- little sell only in their advances the camp's timing. And higher speeds get better. Fuel economy more power out of less engine okay that's and that's what a lot of the stock has gone to it that that's what the technology's all about. And so the bullet that's karma setting a check -- taken July it was on and there is a check engine light was on. Is because one he's also Illinois and there it changes the -- timing was stuck and the reason is stuck. Because the Angeles lodged up. And because it hasn't been changed often is that while whose fault is that. Well. If the owner changed it is at Nissan and general change -- what 5000 or 7500 miles or whatever may not be. The owners and fall mean we've led -- not need the manufacturers of lead the public in the believing that you can change your oil. Twice a year now and get away with it or once a year and get -- not the case. So real quick before we go -- telephone lines there's two reasons in my mind. And manufacturers. And extend out oil change intervals. These days. Reason number one is because the federal government. Makes the manufacturer. Put on the window sticker of every new call or how much is gonna cost you the consumer to maintain that car for one year. So if value change your oil saying every 3000 miles you drive 121000 miles here that's for oil changes a year. But what if I tell you can change your oil every 6000 miles. And you drive 121000 miles your network down to two oil changes a year guess what I'd just Kutcher maintenance cost in half. Well I'm Monica Jermaine is costs in half. But I bumped up your repair cost we'd. Pick up there. Somewhere down the road so what that's reason number one. That's that the federal requirement. So their reason number two he actually is even worse in my mind and that is because. We have this environmental thing going on you know and everybody's got to be green -- got to save the planet. And you know when you change your oil you have to do something with waste oil. You know you. And down to I think the manufacturers. Have succumb to that pressure environmentalist. And instead. Of changing your oil and having dispose of twenty quarts of oil a year we'll change your oil. Twice here don't have dispose of ten -- So I think number one it's about being able to advertise that you can. Maintain your car for half the money number two it's about getting rid of half or even a third of the waste oil. And that neither of those things in my mind make good sense in terms of what's best for your car was best for your pocketbook long term some here today to tell -- Change your oil every 3000 miles and just let it be that. Take good care of your car it'll last a lot longer and you won't have the problems that. I see every single day now when you -- have the problems I'm glad to help you. So not mad at you I'm really really ticked at the manufacturers. For their oil change. Into full nonsense.
Feel so much better -- got a little practice. I've -- telephone lines here Pauline -- and -- in South Carolina people.
How are you. Can help do it again. And this. Nonsense stuff.
And I ask this question. Hitters. My answer I don't know.
Addiction. Here.
What's the inject a cleaner made. I do not know. There's some alcohol or some sort. You know I I don't know the answer that question. Actually quite good question real question is -- alcohol. What about a quarter or.
But when you put down. When you fill your car up that 99% of the gas stations and in America right now and yet think you're getting 10% ethanol anyway.
They're designed ultimately were.
They aren't -- for some well. I think most cars are certainly most modern cars are designed for 10% ethanol may be get away with 15%. But certainly not much more than that. And the problem with ethanol in cars that are not designed to run on ethanol is is the alcohol -- the -- continent and we we call. Those -- 85 it's 85% ethanol 15%. -- unload fuel. And and and the problem -- that is has to do and number one cold natured kind of performance issues. -- that that the 85 alcoholic just not gonna burn that well when it's cold. So it's gonna run rough is gonna give -- all sorts of problems the only notice it that much this time of year but in the wintertime certainly would have a problem. And -- can cause damage to feel objectors to fuel pumps which are submerged inside gas tanks now. Ando all kinds of corrosion issues with fuel lines and in in in fuel system so. And also in the engines it that it burns hotter and so it could cause damage to that valves and pistons in May be in -- and think over long period of time.
about. Yeah.
You know that the main benefit of alcohol -- over the years has been to. Get rid of water. You know -- conversation or water that might get into fuel systems.
people put. Or -- it.
Sure hit and the you know according Jack Daniels and their take care of everything. That the that the that. Via but the you know the manufacturers do put inject or cleaner right in -- gasoline and I think one the most famous ones was that this Chevron techcrunch. That the goes into their gasoline it's a cleaner. If he's feels they're very clean. But. What's what's not cleanest air coming into your engine. And you mix that fuel with the error and combustion the cylinders and and we end up with -- deposits on fuel inject -- isn't all over the place and -- to be claimed off. Paul had to go appreciate the call.
Bottom -- if either of them.
Not that I know of the 88 85 get worse gas mileage with I did do the math. It's about 30% that. It's about 3% actually on 85. And we can talk about that but. Less fuel economy than fewer fill up the regular gasoline. All right thanks to call I've got to get a break in here for a get strangled. And thrown out on my ear. Or rear either way we'll be right back to 23 to 9673 agreeable 5749673. Spartanburg you stay there I'll stay here don't go away.

Hey welcome back in the show Ken gamble here we go on a Saturday morning that this last through bluegrass tune called -- And how does it meant was it hot this week or what had good grief and humidity was so high but feels better to down that looked at the forecast that. I guess is gonna be a little more comfortable. Cycle it's cloudy maybe you rain and anyway great day to. Money and north hills on sales and check this out this summer clearance sale going on.

Gary from. Over there and Roebuck hello Gary.
No it is not think god bill instead -- bill. I don't know we'll get to Gary next we're gonna do for.
I'm doing good not actually actually cyber. Beat drab and all of and it or get cut off is if you had cut out the -- Cut off the -- turn it -- down at a cranked right up. It's Bennett probably acted -- some tangible like six months.
Yeah -- emit anything to do with temperature how long even driving and.
No it doesn't send everything to do they have I have headed into shop and they. Did the computer bag -- subjective they should they couldn't have a pain wrongly.
No codes in the computer or anything like that. Fact. Well I all I can do is tell you about them the more normal kinds of issues. And the first thing that comes them well we have to decide first of laws that say. You know get an ignition failure or is it safe fuel failure. That guy if it's a fuel failure the most common problem on GM cars is fuel pumps. And they can go out and open up for second and then close again you know electrically speaking in and they go back to work. That that is a possibility. We can never catch it any act conceit that had fuel pressure not then we would know which which were which track the take here. But let's move away from the fuel track for a second then in the go -- in more than electrical kinds of things and that's. My guess is as intermittent is this thing is the fact that it never Clinton's justice you know stop running completely and -- stop running. Crank shaft to position sensors are known to go on these callers. Do you there's a little test that you can do for that that the crank ship's sensor is down near the crank -- at the bottom of the of the engine. If you can very carefully get a very long. Screwdriver. Word. Some sort of of blunt ended instrument. And while the cars running very carefully because you've got drive belts going around at things tap on that sensors he didn't get the Carter shut off. Pay that little political tap detestable things. As you can try that. The other thing is the air flow sensors in and they measures. The amount of air coming into the engineers think it fails and it doesn't see any air coming in and the computers as well. No -- no fuel that's -- we're done. They shut the thing down so that's that's also -- possibility -- that two most common electrical kinds of failures we have ignition modules and EC ends of which is the computer itself. They -- sensor may be Cannes censor. Those of the most common things in the reason I ask if they had any codes in the system is generally. You know if it sees a failure it's gonna group register some sort of a code in and at least it's will be in the memory the system there. So. I hope that's enough at least gives you a couple things to think about and and and look over.
All right take care party we got what I mean 3040 seconds before the bottom of the hour here. Not time to be fair we -- you have Gary and Gary apologize it and bring yet in in order and in turn they -- but we'll get used as we come back in the bottom there -- break.

They welcome back in -- show Ken gamble here with the Saturday morning that said the Eagles with a dirty laundry. And it really should be called in in my mind and dirty oil. Or maybe the dirty laundry of the or other manufactures new car manufacturers of telling you he can change your oil what every 7500 miles every 101000 miles every 151008. Let's just never change or how about that. And causing all kinds of problems I see it every day and I'm a little bit of a rant this morning. On that subject. Begging your pleading with you to not pay attention. No attention what so ever. To the oil change interval scheduled in your maintenance book please. Just change every 3000 only to go for. If you drive a lot of miles in a three month period change your oil every three months all right. I -- car after car after car with sludge problems and it's because it will change intervals -- either -- Extended out by the manufacturer or by the consumer. And it is bad for you. We went over the beginning the hour of the reasons for that my mind number one. That manufactures wanna be able to advertise that you can maintain your car for less money. So if they have to change your oil twice -- have four times a year guess what they can tell you can maintain your car for half the money. And -- the other reason is because of the waste oil and not think the environmentalists within the automotive industry are trying to. Be pacified and you know keep people keep keep that old used up motor oil from getting into the environment. Which. I it gets used I don't know how gets into the environment but. You know. If you change your oil four times a year you might have twenty quarts of -- to get rid of if you changer royals twice a year -- ten courts of world that your right. So I think that's what that's all about neither of those things. Are good for your car or your pocketbook long term. And so be responsible get rid of the waste -- could bring it to Carter so we changer oil we've certainly will properly dispose of the waste oil. And if changing yourself just. Ticket to a collection center and get it get it gone into it right don't is dumping out by the fence post someplace. But that change. Change it. This cheapest thing you can do your car -- the thing that will make your car last the longest retain -- value the best and keep you. In a reliable dependable vehicle all right now we had. Gary. Long waiting in -- South Carolina to be on the show this morning hey Gary.
Hey good morning to you how -- you.
I'm gonna say a man to yours change that a bronco two that's got -- read 260000. Known then that change ever 3000 so. He got attribute it to there it is absolutely and it runs beautifully got to real problems on its. Both governments for into the stricter about things that. Excuse me. And neither one of these little problems have they have written her into full or in any kind bit. Sometime -- distorted or one -- and a home. It will increase the RP -- 4500 rpm you know. And really -- up there and I have to make sure that very firm they keep my foot on the brake you know.
So this is while it's sitting an idol and it always.
Just say yeah I'll be driving -- I really don't no longer have all but one one that we'll have to stop letters so much in the hill.
Once a surge forward on it.
Yeah. And -- the other hand like wanna start started this morning undertake no it's starts good bit. It will battle real low. And when his Batman real low black. Seeing what wanna do wanna take -- given louganis is Canon -- Canon -- elected it won't take it you know yeah. So. It's not a big problem. Just don't know where to go to a network.
Well. I think the first place to start in this is really common. Issues throttle and throttle response and idol issues on on cars. Back when they first started becoming fuel injected an 87 that is a -- at throttle body fuel injected via our it is. And that is and that is getting the throttle body clean. And the -- the idle motor and everything. Which motors is that -- In nine yeah. That that throttle bodies got to be cleaned out really well and that -- motor cleaned out I think that'll settle the I'll speed down to where they'll. It'll not to feel like it's gonna stall or run real slow when you first started and hopefully it'll take care of the surging issued to.
We're not gonna plan this promoter and I -- the proper body is so poor -- and I evidently didn't while also. Be so -- visit.
beat the idle motor is it looks like a little cell only kind of thing with a wire attached to it and it's right there by the throttle body should be that hard to find. All right we're up -- I guess are much for calling. I think in India that thing is Erica vacuum leaks which certainly would affect -- quality bullets strike that first and refused to listing Gary. See if and perhaps we might have a -- those -- vacuum leak of some sort that might be affecting quality -- RD. In Duncan this morning we have Leo on line in three -- Leo.
Are you today in pretty well yeah. -- 94 Toyota pickup trick with a pin hole and between the cooling system and -- number forward result sport. Yep looks like just defined here. Water. Coming out it'll -- they run into the -- And new wanna start. Of course sector gets I was like come -- and everybody in the world. The -- run out of -- But I wondered if there's a problem with Toyota Arabs. In a way that. Like the leaking into.
Yeah and and you can see this thing.
When -- the exhaust port. Exhaustion what happened that I I was drive and an outlook behind and I was I was everybody was on a fault it's a bit. A -- off spin off or are there compression check and I didn't have the blown it yet get between cylinders.
Why does a V6 right.
No this -- fort sill OK okay up all the exhaust manifold all -- pressure as the system and I have a stream of -- it looks like -- fear -- out. At about 11 o'clock in shoot down before clock in fact when the first thought -- thought it was like here and there.
Yet -- the downside of that is the this the fact that that. Water jacket. That runs -- that area there is compromised from the inside out so it's not sort of -- from the outside in so. What you eat the whole you can see here that there area you can see coming out as the small side of the hole. Sort of speak in. And I don't know -- I don't know of any. And that I remember of any problem with -- those four cylinder cylinder heads.
Well could this be able like -- this problem could. Certainly do. I picked this -- we have and I have like. Three quarters of a twelve point seven. Windows 7 eight.
Have you have you thought about how you fix it.
Well I'm probably gonna replace but --
I've got a I've got an idea worth trying. How about accessibility to this little spot once you get the manifold off can kind of get up in there and say -- fairly good.
Well like if there was an inspection mirror and say the old. I'm not a whole like it's actually only he could feel it sustain -- so aren't yeah I know.
Well I was wondering is different if we can get in there and sort of clean out that that little crevice or whatever it is you think it's a cracker to think it's actually just a little. An idea that's better that's good. If we could monthly like a little drill bit and maybe just an air and clean it up a little big give program and intuitive. I wanna go too deep. Maybe in a third or a little bit over an eighth of an inch. And claim that they did that the surface really really good get may via. The little disk on. Maybe a journal tool or something up and clean that area really good and then put a little that it JB weld on. And let it sit for about 24 hours before you put any quarter any pressure -- back on their thing and let's see what happens.
Well what -- do they have.
If that's all it is we might cure that thing. Meanwhile put a cylinder head on and if you could JB weld it and you know mean that -- that I -- drugs California.
No this is just to work for their -- I use a locally.
55 dollars worth the JB weld who might be back on the room. Has worked to try and I would.
Okay. What I was gonna check for electoral officer or something. Is there I mean what's the maximum I would have between the -- in the ground. Four and in the labels --
Yeah. I mean I'm looking. Referee federal wiretap right well you take -- volt metre and did one probe into the top of the radiator fluid. Okay and put the other probe on the positive side of the battery. And reed apparently read your volt metre. -- point 078 nodal point. And an eight point 2008 -- it'll. Point 078. As well I. That doesn't sound. Too excessive to me. I don't have a spec for -- but in answer obviously is gonna have something as waters can conduct electricity so yeah. When I've seen problems in the past that that that number has been much higher. Liken it to volt range. Yeah. Hasn't had as the radiator fluid look -- look pretty claimed -- keep it good.
every four years such an object lesson out of it for you. Yet -- just kind of -- regular.
Yeah and you know some cars have more problems than this and others that some of the four products. Word just having terrible problems with heater cores and eat them left and right who -- in -- last you know. Seven or 8000 miles and be completely rotted out again. --
Well -- can I was just looking for reasons -- I'm well let's -- one thing but don't rule impulse.
The analyst nick could have been a problem with the casting right from the factory and let's face it at sixteen years old it. Eroded through over what how many hundreds of thousands of miles on the struck --
Robert. -- you go. I think I -- my JB -- idea occurred in the mean logos are trade and a very good but only to meet the goes well. -- and I don't -- go -- certain eastern wild card now I gotta put a whole engine and it. They are very. It's not very you're very articulate part about it.
areas. One more call. Take a break she's leaving it up to me I'm lead in it but do you that's a -- one is. Thomas who is --
I -- this morning. We're. Gonna help you it.
Out of Alabama Cadillac. Fault I mean. When he tried to epicenter illustrative. Of what it dropped so bright and early approach as. Acted like Japan as a -- Clinton voted with the.
The what do you do that. Why do you do that.
Well I mean. If you start set up very. Bright -- they're okay.
And the reason I ask is some cars and not too much on those early ninety's that a lot of late model cars you can't power brick the card you know I mean by that. On. What we used to do is load the engine by putting your foot on number one foot on them for breaking the other foot on the gas and causing it to have an internal hemorrhage. And sort of load up the agency could get -- ignition system to break down or feel anything. Testing motor mounts neck and think they were they've made him in late -- years so that when if you have your foot on the brake in the -- not moving and you start to accelerate. The car won't. The car -- cut off. And they did it won't accelerate. That's to keep people from. It you know. Causing. Some sort of the safety hazard and and that thing but anyway back to your question. Yet this thing.
A -- about driveway -- very. There's our ability to.
Yeah. I've I think before we I did anything on it I'd wanna check the fuel pressure on. Seen some problems with fuel pumps on those old at the ninety model so throttle body fuel injected reported project. -- it was him. And that's -- to have about I believe nine to twelve pounds of fuel pressure. So let's let's check that make sure that's right. That may or may not be a problem the check engine -- coming on.
So in order is says agent orange or so.
Check service agents and look into yellow light very. Not a red light. Yeah ours like okay yeah let's let's check the codes in the with a computer let's get let's get a scanner on a thing in check to codes. Could have a bad at throttle position sensor.
