Hope you'll join us this morning instead do three to 9673. Great 05749673. In Spartanburg and you can join us so right now because the lines are rather almost wide open we have another line right there waiting for you and hope you'll join us this morning -- your car care question get those. Wheels turn in car back on the road. And -- had to where you need to be today. You have check engine light on you know anything that's going around your car breaks -- and funny little noises things have cropped up during the week. You know what to do it's 2329673. -- a 5749673. In Spartanburg. All right let's see what's going on to me it's. Saturday morning cloudy it's been raining a little this week. Home --
I'm growing Gilles. I'm not complaining I know we went through a major drought.
Well I guess I am complaining. Can we just have like normal or moderate amounts of rain and sunshine and whatever you know little this a little Latin. Mix it up a little bit and then it. Not going to -- good to complain as. 2329673. In -- 5749673. In Spartanburg lines are jam packed -- one core hangs up going to be your Q. To get on board this morning -- line 1 this morning Wednesday 95. Toyota Tacoma hello Bob.
Good morning GM slid under under that I hope you are millions. Let's take at this got under arms sales amount office space doctor stopped working on. If you haven't bought part of the market -- ears out of Toyota Tacoma four cylinder.
And on the -- still works.
It's stopped working at 309000 about a half that certainly would.
So the speedometer and the odometer around on. Our. I believe in 95 that that's still a cable operated. System now it's in and around that time they started using. Speed sensors to. To drive a little electric mode a little motor behind that instrument cluster there. So if it's not cable operator it's going to be in the instrument cluster worthy. It's the signal from the speed sensor. Is not getting to it. A check engine light --
surrounded. And this is car to have this is -- and -- all the destruction -- cruise -- it's. I don't -- plain Jane -- Yeah.
Yeah let's let's check concede. If the drive at the that the cable drive at the transmission is is turn and then the conceived the cables. Not broken or something that the problem is probably up in the speedometer head itself in the instrument cluster. And he -- used one and put it in there and go back to. Born again.
It okay we're back on arbitrate that information about recent Joey show thanks mostly you're just -- night.
Yeah Obama can't remember in 95 if we were using speed sensors are just still good old fashioned cables to run those things let's see here is. Gem. Online to -- Jim.
A good morning are all back -- Miami for vehicles so they were has applying. These six -- and I -- report later in the past 3800. It pattern and -- happened is that. Every now and then probably ever for the and I that I crank it. Targeting big puff of smoke. Just. Always been just one big and and it creates. -- tap Mac that drove it yesterday. It kept out of for a little while this stuff tailpipe. Yeah and not checked you'll end of all is actually cool. --
And how long it all Helen have been since -- oil listen changer topped off.
Polish grandma. While because I don't grab it very much probably six straight much IV.
Because the united any oil to this motor in six months. Nothing we can eliminate. Engine oil was the in this this what smoking. How about the coolant does it full. Yeah let's check then and ask about the smoke that comes out it would you just say it's. White black. Category. Ernie Allen and went back up and what it does start does it runs smoothly.
Well using and I got -- yeah. A little older it's every man who can on the -- yeah -- that might be a little bit of a hint it starts right at the end. Well that is.
So let's talk about the things that can make an engine smoker dispersal engine oil getting into -- cylinder either because. Rings are better valve guides seals are bad this running down valve guide driven into the cylinder started first thing in the morning it'll -- Usually that's going to be.
His -- but yeah. But it's intermittent have a.
Right but usually that's going to be blue smoke -- gonna get this kind of blue cloud of smoke and it's gonna hang in the air for quite some time. And -- I -- can be as engine coolant which would be. -- more or -- just water. And when he gets into with the cylinders it's gonna. Cause it to should caused the misfire a little biscuit a little bit Hagan get more of -- white smoke and it's gonna. Dissipate fairly quickly it's gonna hang in the air a little bit the dissipate fairly quickly. The other things that. Could get into the cylinder would be transmission fluid and on in your case you don't have any. And only get a vacuum module later on that transmissions I don't think the transmission fluids getting into a civil have been on older cars that certainly was could be the case then lastly. If you had any of the fuel inject -- that was staying open a little bit and dripping fuel into the cylinder overnight. You might find a puddle of gasoline on top of that it's. Engine -- that piston in the morning and then go to crank it and then you get this. Puff of black smoke. Hydrocarbons unburned fuels that you know coming -- the -- And you and you probably are gonna get a little bit of an engine -- associated with that so I think the -- skip -- certainly a little bit of a clue. And I think we need to determine first what what should do or to check the cool level make sure this thing is full -- does not. That's that may be what's hadn't -- these engines are known for problems with intake gasket leaking coolant into this into the engine. So that that it in the -- also EGR cool work in in the intake manifold actually is a bigger problem with these things.
All right so so let's see if this thing is full water and if it's if it's not -- top it off and then. I wouldn't driving it I would I would pressure tested to see if we -- to see with the -- and it's probably it could be go to the GR -- and getting into the engine. Very common. -- And then and then and then if that if it's if it's not bad and it's gas fuel getting into the engine them I would put a fuel pressure tester. On it and it crank it up let it run and then I'd shut the dolphin watch that so that fuel gauges fuel pressure. Agency if it's bleak bleeds down seem to be gusted to. Go from forty pounds down -- you know 35 down to thirty and then that means fuels leaking someplace that should hold that line pressure want to shut off. If -- conceivably can back into the tank.
Argentina and a little more black ought not we have in -- fielding down and.
Okay well and so that that's. And and then we seen you know certainly have seen fuel objectors. Dripping and bleeding off. On those engines -- so.
You are thanks Jim hope that's helpful.
More more call here before take a break let's do that this is James in 10 hours this morning born James.
Good quarter. I don't you. I got 82006. Under and I bought it a year at got a lot at that respect -- got nice -- The outlook while on it. And I've got a public transit mission at that V8 automatic but at the -- that -- but. All wheel drive.
And sometimes when I stopped when it comes a complete stop -- lot of whatever. I'll be sitting there Burt but where do and then it -- like that Chad -- ship and -- mid neutral site you're like god.
And as a transmission fluid full. There is actual though -- picture that's right. And -- so I don't in any signs of any leakage at the transmission.
No I've never seen a drop of oil or any fluid under the truck.
might not be a bad idea to look under there and see if there's any signs of witness because it if the transmission has gotten. Has Little League and it's gotten -- then. It could be causing the problem I do know that they've had some transmission problems with the with the -- tundra is would this be a combination that. The it's sequoia is. Under is what else they put that motor and -- Now well they might -- the -- and 06 that in mind and then and another put deviates in. The later model for runners from a sure they put it in the 0606 actually might have been the first year -- that would give you VA. That's a four points seven leaders and it. Yeah right. So well let's check -- don't have any leaks at the flu it is slow we're gonna have to there's a procedure for for filling it and even they don't have a did stick to check it -- It's nice now in lot of manufacturers have gotten away from allowing you to even checked transmission fluid and Mercedes has decided that you don't need an engine. Oil dip stick anymore. In -- nicer than you know it out you're just too stupid to check your own transmission fluid and check your own oil they gotta do it for. So we you know as a shot we have to ground by special. Did sticks for Mercedes products that we can actually check. The oil level in a Mercedes. Because they don't supply you won from the factory.
Well I'd get a little -- on why the best shot yet at.
I think that what -- settings you have to take the drank -- woods for the training well it right and if any comes out but that's all.
Writing it that doesn't doesn't upload up above the default level and if anything comes out beyond that point and it's and it's cool right. And you can put fluid in from that point in and put it into runs out. -- let's go wandered in and make sure that we don't have you know transmission fluid the sort of collecting and they're blowing back and then collecting underneath the chassis somewhere. But I think you I think you're gonna find out it's fallen and you have an internal problem. Not not a fun thing. Party thanks James. That trichet called. All right 1019. -- twenty we're gonna take a break and come right back it's 232967. To three in Greenville 574.

Neil king your questions to the tribunal in north hills auto dot com or six your questions to tell -- thing takes line 71307. -- 71307.
Thank you Florida backyard. Yeah order the the -- never mind and now. What are monsters are gonna offering him. -- Okay.
in the don't under the --
Hi welcome back into the show us some cars going into the ring ship and if you think you're Carney is sort of a Rancho give -- call first this to make sure that done. Her -- not in the right direction here or not doesn't start replacing parts you know just for the fun of it. That's not law fun. And all that does is just take money -- your pocket put somebody else's pocket let's let's fix the right thing the first time and I get it right pick. Here let's see 1025 then back to the telephone wants to go bill was in -- online woman an F 150. -- 96 model I think in the bill.
If -- are working hamstring our long bed I beat you -- A good friend -- not passed away and a destructive. It's been fantastic except for a couple of -- What brought before. I've got it well you struck the orbiter back and then get out of it put it away book airbags. Out just sort of a push back in the year yeah in the and that's something you have to take back to the dealership or that where can that be. Real redeployed or whatever.
I can yeah can be replaced. It is indeed in my is gonna probably have to have the airbag module. And the and air bag. And should be good to go.
Okay you can have a -- that well phrase somewhere just right there at that probably about about. That's felt about.
That's coming -- my head but that sounds like gets pretty close those first generations there airbags were. That's pretty expensive I think the later model the -- airbags have come down prices and a lot of pressure from. Insurance companies to to get air bag cost down and now that they're being used much more widely than they used to be used ten years ago herself. There. They've come down in price them but.
You know that that might have to -- got what part about well all right maybe maybe not much everywhere you look at -- Well that kind of money that it comes not a good diplomat.
And you know air bags really only have about ten year life anyway. And yet you have a -- older than ten years of it's probably recommend that be replaced anyway.
A lot of and it that that look like that's the other thing to -- too -- quick thank. Mom got twenty thanks affront I can career tank -- not try to start the Karl for the rear tank it is hesitate starters and -- salt content you know. A problem that what I. Which quickly to the to the front. Clears up. It has done abroad now almost like -- it went you'll talk to each tank or. Gonna be a filter in the -- I'm not well what -- protect -- outfielder curt curt thank I'm not sure.
Yet now messy this -- to that. When you're driving along can you switch to the rear tank and it'll run fine. You know. That's interest. Wouldn't suspect the fuel pump and and and and it should have guests too few palms. Net and is that there's the valve it switches over from the front of the rear. That sounds like that's working that's kind of an odd. And -- deal really.
Have not it's. This -- this -- you get used to dual but I enormity of the drug everything else worked out beautifully but.
I I -- have a thought though but let's just say the rear tank that the pumping -- and in the rear tank. Who was leaking back down after you shut the -- that wasn't maintaining its line pressure. Is this is a fuel injected engine. And and so when you first go to crank that if you were on the rear tank. It would have to push all the air through the lines first before it would. Supply the fuel you need that you switch over the front tank you don't have that same problem and you get fuel immediately. I think he got a bad I think you do have a bad pupil in the --
It shouldn't be too much trouble replace one more -- what an analogy go. The other thing too that I let the car with a lot of truck fit for awhile is that. And that does happen but that itself -- another car. Yeah well it. Did did did kill the battery and it they'll talk about it but rabbit now every.
Yeah how many -- how many days like two days just three days --
It takes several weeks or perhaps not usually to disconnect the battery yeah. Outlook are a -- that it might actually be up -- violent ultra that are pulling it now.
Well it could be what what you've got as a parasitic drain and and what we need to do in real quickly is is is put a emir on the system and start pulling fuses and disconnecting electrical components until we watch that that during go away. Huckabee seeming like a glove box door staying. Like staying at lit up that could be. You know anything like that in any small.
Yeah you'll tell our clock at the -- outrage that would -- considered old.
All right I got a little -- and much time here for the Senate -- it for all right there he goes. They appreciate you listen to this half hour and a half hour ago -- we'll be right back with more. Right after these messes -- don't go -- way.

Justine conduct just a little bit of business here first second and and first thought tell you about. North -- on the service spot locations in the upstate you wanna start by integral locations and -- events on the specials were running you know we have run pretty regularly. What we call our our annual inspection. And basically what this is this that you can command and now for 99 dollars you can get your card check from bumper to bumper. So about a 12030. Different things that we inspect check and tell you. The exact condition of no way you can get an idea of what the plan for. In your vehicles maintenance over the did not say the next year or so so tell you that the tires have fun. You know maybe 530 seconds left or 930 seconds left we'll tell your brakes are. Three millimeter or nine millimeter or whatever whatever the thickness of the brake pads are are -- the condition of the belts and hoses and but you know there's any fluid leaks. Add to that the -- total condition of the vehicles a great thing to do if you're buying a used car someplace new -- get checked out ahead of time. That's 99 bucks that's all it is it'll cost you get all that information produced 99 dollars now. There is one little catch the catch is that where are going to give you back. A coupon. Worth 100 dollars in future oil changes repairs wherever my -- So for instance I says here's a -- you give me 99 dollars -- give -- hundred back. And I gave you. The 120 point inspection. That they were so famous for such a great deal ending down any north -- auto service location. And get that done on this week and we can say we run that pretty regularly. And I'm glad to help folks keep on top of the maintenance of their vehicles and let them know where they stand and what needs to be done and and and you can schedule that out. And do it or not do it at least you'll know what's what's -- out there for. And by the way so you can take that 25 bucks per visit for four visits that's what you get if you if you by the special you come back in the next. Time -- service and kids get an oil changes -- but our -- funny mutual change for twelve hours and eleven cents. Now that's pretty cheap to get year old twelve hours eleven cents with that coupon and that's a great deal the source tells auto service that any. Location in the upstate you can call 67560162. Scheduled appointment.
I know it's a little bit about or -- a sales the number one tellem wrote in Greenville and this whole thing about one particular -- and every once in awhile. A very special little bill comes my way. And just sits served above and beyond the norm there you know as a lot of cars that there that have average mileage for the year and they're an average condition. And once -- you come across the current assist. It's been so pampered and it's well taken care of that -- You have to tell people this is a 2000 model Acura RL. -- K and it OK it's ten years old. All right. But this is a garage kept car I went underneath the Koreas today. And it looks like it just rolled off the -- before there was a little bit of mud splashed. On the left inside the under body of the story it's unbelievable out cleanest cars. There's not a scratch or dent or rock chip and and the caller. It only has 60000 miles on it. And it's Pearl White with tan leather and it is absolutely -- of all the service records going -- back to it 2000. I have all of the have the original. Brochure they came with the car. I have all the owner's manuals and maintenance books and everything that needed to to document his vehicle. It's a one -- car and it's being offered or -- auto sales number one Pelham road is not gonna last long.

Now back to the telephone lines rich has been patiently waiting until hours on line to good morning rich.
You funds that are gonna help you I got a what about my what is. It would cylinders. I recently at a alternate. Placed on. And -- air conditioning. Every now and it's like it's aimed at it just goes out there. And notices in Amman I would drive and also welcome back. The beat -- Or will it. Oh.
So the that. The air flow stops or the air stops getting cold.
Or stop getting old.
But the but the -- still blow when you're getting plenty of air flow. Okay because if you weren't -- the couple things might be going on the AC might be getting too cold. The evaporator core freezing up and then once it ices over the blower can't blow air through they get -- he -- no cold air. Plus you get no volume there. -- but that's not what's going on here okay well I think either the system is slightly lower on refrigerator and so what cycling off. And staying cycle the compressors saying cycle ball too long allowing it the the pressures in the of our prayers are rotten to rise and so when they when it. The -- goes through the of effort for it doesn't. It doesn't get cold enough to. To to do the job. Or it cycling off. Not because -- slow but because it has a bad cycling switch. And they and the air conditioning low pressure cycling switch on the course located. On the speculator. The keynote accumulate there is but it's a big so aluminum cylindrical looking. I don't know some has and then we'll have two going in to coming down so in all the aluminum and they'll be rubber hose on the one end of and that's and that should be in the engine compartment police find the compressor you can see that there's gonna be two lines -- the compressor. One's gonna be larger in diameter than the other. -- the larger lies and called the suction line of the low pressure side. That's the one that you follow that that one's gonna go to the Q emulator when he -- I mean yet to the accumulative when you get to the Q emulator. You're gonna find a little switch screwed into the side of it with a wiring connector to.
fact it's the easiest cheapest thing to repairing air conditioning system because you don't even have to think through for dramatic part of fix it. Yeah unscrew it put a new one in and plug it back in.
This should look at first. Her.
You cannot move before I did it because this is in my shop the first thing I would do is -- put some -- on it and see with the pressures look like because of the pressures are are. Are low and and and ended its its -- is not gonna cycle on to begin with because that low pressure cycling switch will not allow that -- doing gauge. Until the pressures get. In the fall down below. We'll see above about 3830 pounds. And it's that's when the when it's gonna cycle on and it's gonna cycled off. And exceeds the other -- has been cycle off at about thirty pounds and is gonna cycle on. At about. 2018. -- point. It.
I just seemed to notice and -- and I waited well. Reason that.
You know if you tell -- the opposite I would say that the there's not enough air flow getting past the condenser and either because the cooling fans are working at idle and air conditioning getting warmer when you come to a stuff pretty typical anyway. Or -- systems arm or an Indian automobiles at least our. Much more efficient at. 5060 miles and are going to and it is the interstate because you've got a lot of air flow past the condenser which is keeping those pressures down which is making efficient they use the system more efficient. So. But but if it's poor at idol than it is going down the road then. It's very well could be. A -- refrigerate. Situation. Or a compressor cycling switch it is not -- compression cycle back on -- to cycles off. Guy not there are other things involved there it has an orifice to be in the line in that low pressure line it could be. Restricted in some way nominee while allowing enough refrigerate go go past that the orphanage to resist the restriction in line. And what we do is we would create pressure on one side of the AC system. And would and then -- we -- back that up and build that up and then as it gets to the or the stupid it we allowed to slowly. Go past that to them when it when that pressure. Changes from high to low they do -- then refrigerate the chemical reaction there is that this is a very. Rapid drop in pressure. Very rapid drop in temperature.
It was really. We have a job.
Probably not mean I don't think it needs a new compressor or new evaporator or new condenser those of the three major components and they ceases in the cost all the money. But but but but let's face it they see work is not cheap anyway -- federal government sought to that years ago when they took or twelve off the market made its use 130 foray. And made us to recover all the refresher and that's goes in -- out of a car and have you know all the walls -- restrictions that are on AC systems a -- he stays because we're. Trading this huge hole in the ozone and remember all that years ago. Well apparently on what have a whole but it is that nobody talks about it anymore -- apparently it's okay now but. I think we I think we plugged it -- dollar bills. So that will have that whole the atmosphere anymore so.
What are we talking about.
You know I think just it to check it. I can't remember what are or based diagnostic fears on that it's not a lot of money. -- talking about hundreds of dollars to figure out what's wrong with it.
And I mean nothing if if it's a question it's somebody in the tech look at that and saying -- there's the problem right there you know is is not gonna cost you any. To get it checked out so I'm gonna tell people that generally for any kind of problem when your car. And and covers 99% of the situations the diagnostic charge to find that was from their cars from anywhere between 0100 bucks. Guy. And I can't tell you where it's gonna fall in -- chance to open the hood look and see what's happening.
