Speaker 2If you were having pizza Knight in America like so many last night, and sitting around saying, hey, how is your week, and everybody's oh, I did this and I did that.
If you asked me, you know what I would answer.
I would answer one word because it was one of those weeks.
I think this is an appropriate story for a radio show about cars, because it's also about what goes on in the repair shop.
And you need to know that a lot of what goes on in a repair shop isn't necessarily the problems of fixing the cars.
It's the problems of running the shop.
It's the front office stuff and the things that go on behind the scenes in the front office.
My front office went nuts on Wednesday.
I had ordered checks from QuickBooks, and I'm going to mention names and you know what I'm going to tell you.
Yeah, Okay, all the companies that I mentioned are free to come on the show and tell me their side of it and tell you their side of it, because I think they were all very badly run.
I ordered checks from QuickBooks.
We use QuickBooks to help run the shop and write checks, and we order checks from them the week prior.
The checks showed up on Tuesday.
They were actually a day late, not a crisis.
We were ready for that.
We had a couple extra checks.
Well like we were running out of checks.
We just got to the point where we needed three order checks.
The box didn't show up on Monday.
The box showed up on Tuesday, and what caught my attention was FedEx another company that's welcome to come on the show, because I think there were a bunch of dopes, all right.
They You ever noticed you put a shipping label on a cardboard box, and you you know, you stick the label to the box and ship the box.
Well, the box came the address.
The shipping label was still attested to the original piece of box cardboard that it was attached to, but somebody had taken a razor knife, cut it out and scotch taped it, you know, packing taped it to the top of a new box, and then wrapped about four miles of packing tape around it.
It looked like something Luke Costello wrapped up for a birthday present for Bud Right.
And it just caught your eye that something's wrong, like this was not how you would think it would come out of a check printing facility wherever that is, and open it up and sure it's the checks.
And you know, first comment to quick Books, why are we still shipping checks and clear plastic bags?
I don't understand that in a day in and age, we're heightened security, and we're worried about fraud, and we're worried about everybody gathering our personal information.
Why are we sending things out in clear plastic bags should As FedEx explained to me, the box burst open at the TRANSFERACIL facility at Newark Airport, and they transferred the checks from one box to another and sent it on its way.
Of course, of course, it took two phone calls from to FedEx to find that out, because God forbid anybody that answers the phone knows what they're really talking about.
Needless to say, it would have been nice had they put a sticker.
Don't you think they should have put a sticker on the outside of the box that said, hey, we know this box looks a little funny, but it was reboxed under a supervised facility, under a supervised condition, so the contents weren't, you know, compromised.
I mean, what if it was gold coins on Amazon that you can now going by gold coins on Amazon right where all the gold coins accounted for?
So talking to QuickBooks got nowhere because I got the same overseas person telling me, oh, we're so sorry, mister Ananian, and yeah, we're very sorry that that happened, and would you like to order more checks?
Because some of the checks were rustled and shuffled and you know, beat up.
No, I want to know that these checks are going to be okay, that they're all there, and we did count and they're all there.
And then the only concern we have is was the account Is the checking account able to be compromised?
Because did somebody come along with their camera and go click click on the line at FedEx?
Something FedEx never even thought of until I mentioned it and they said, well, yeah, I guess that's possible.
I guess that's possible.
This is a this is this is a secure method of shipping.
So let me get this right.
In an age of fraud, in an age of absolute we're concerned about everything under the sun.
We're shipping checks all across America, not just to order repair shops, but everywhere, unsupervised, in non secure envelopes.
Well that was Tuesday, That was stupid Tuesday.
Well, insane Wednesday came along, so TD Bank, who's also free to come on the show and talk to us about this, because what the heck I want to get You know, we're not talking about small companies here.
These aren't mom and pops.
These are all giant companies.
Who knows, maybe they'll be off the air next week.
You know, they might buy a couple of radio networks and cancel this show.
Decided that, well, we're going to freeze the account so I can no longer use my checking account, which was in use for the past forty seven years or whatever it's been, because I've only I've only been here a little while.
And you know, in order for me to write a check out of it, I had to call up the fraud department and say I'm writing check number XYZ for three dollars and twenty two cents or whatever the amount was, and they would clear it and allow it to process through.
And I had thirty days of doing this because then they would just close the account, and in the meantime I needed to go get another bank account.
Have you tried to open a new bank account for a business in America lately at all recently in the last couple of years.
Well, this was my first experience.
I haven't had to do it in quite a long time.
Why I've been around for a while.
I've been around over forty something years.
When I got the TD bank.
Vic who's also welcome to come on the show and talk to us about it, was reading from the script book.
Well, mister and Adian, we're sorry that this happened, but you know, we'll need to see your new business formation papers to give you the new checking account that you're going to need.
Excuse me, Well, I've been a customer here since I don't know, nineteen ninety three, which was a while ago.
You can't see that I'm in existing business.
Yes, but when you opened it, you opened it with your social and the federal government now requires a tax ID beginning with twenty two.
Well, yeah, here's my scale.
You'll see tax return, here's the mortgage that you guys held for so many years.
Here's all this information.
But no, we're going to read from the script kind of describes my week right now.
In the meantime, I'm trying to run a radio show, I'm trying to run a repair shop.
I'm trying to keep Danny busy.
I'm trying to keep the shop flowing, and I'm dealing with complete insanity.
On the financial side of things.
A new Chase Manhattan Bank opened in Waldwick, New Jersey in the last couple of weeks, and I'm trying to get over there because I kept thinking, you know what, maybe I'll bank a little bit with them, just to see how they are.
I've got a couple of Chase credit cards as a personal note.
They've always worked well.
Anytime there's been an issue, it's always been you know, it always works.
I ended up talking to Oliver.
I ended up.
I talked to Marco, the manager.
Marco gave me to Oliver.
Oliver asked me.
He said, well, I'm going to need your new business formation paperwork.
And I'm thinking, oh god, we're going to go through this again.
Now.
All we want to do is fix cars at the end of the day, right, folks, That's all we're trying to do.
Marco.
I'm sorry, Oliver, what do you think I need?
Well, I need your DBA.
You're doing business as okay?
I had that, he said, right, And what's the expiration date on it?
Because it has to be renewed every five years.
I don't know.
Maybe every state's different, maybe New Jersey's wrong, maybe it's different in New Jersey.
But my DBA is from a million years ago, nineteen eighty three, to be exact, and there's no expiration date on it.
And he said there has to be.
Well, there is, and I'll show you that here it is.
The raised seal notar Republic verified from the county seat in Hackensack, New Jersey.
No expiration date.
Let me make a phone call, which I thought was kind of nice of him, that Oliver was willing to stick his neck out take the time for somebody he didn't know, on account that he didn't have to see if this was possibly the way to do it.
Gee, customer service, somebody that doesn't read from the script, what a concept?
Call me back, he said.
I asked three people.
Yeah, what happened, he said.
The first guy said no, the second guy said maybe, The third guy said yes.
I said, what do you say?
He said, come on over, I'll open the account.
So I solved the problem sort of maybe kind of.
Yes, We're going to now start banking with Chase Bank.
No credit desire, no pressure, no no no promotion here intentionally given.
And I guess the point of all of this is the aggravation the problems in running a small business, not just an order repair shop, but the problems in running a small business are are beyond what you can describe, and it can go from zero to one hundred and twenty miles an hour like that, in the blink of an eye, and it's difficult.
It's difficult.
It best to explain to somebody it took three days out of my week for something that was beyond my control, for something I did not create.
Because a major corporation, three major corporations don't have scenarios in place to correct this.
I don't understand most of all, how FedEx, for all the packages they ship to their credit, they knew the box was damaged on the conveyor belt at the transfer station at Newark Airport.
If you know the problem can happen, don't you have a better remedy than it looks like a four year old took cut the box out state on and wrapped so much tape around this thing.
It looked like that bad Christmas present you got from Uncle Frank last year that you were afraid to open because of the ribbon being in fourteen different places and tape all over the place.
I was surprised the lunch that the guy had that day wasn't kind of wrapped in between the tape as he wrapped his fingers around it and created this.
Needless to say, I am like so fired up to just fix cars today because I didn't get to fix any cars on Wednesday and Thursday.
So I'm ready eight five five five six nine nine zero zero.
I'll be back right after this.
See you, by the way.
For everybody that came in the shop this week and tried to make me laugh with I hear your flashing school buses stop anyway?
Let's that was the running joke in the shop all week long.
Are you flashing?
Are you done flashing a school bus?
Yet?
They haven't arrested you, not yet, but I'm trying.
Frank, Virginia twenty Chevy Tahoe.
What's going on here?
Frank?
How can I help?
Speaker 3Hey, Ron, thanks for taking my call.
Welcome sir, We've got the twenty Chevy Tahoe premiere.
Okay, the car is great.
I like it.
The problem I have is when I step on a brake pedal at my right foot to the right side of the foot.
Also, it's the gas pedal.
Excuse me.
At one time I even ran into the back of a pickup truck.
Luckily nobody got hurt.
Right, The dealer said the break in gas pedal.
Speaker 2Work fixed change in a fixed position.
Speaker 3Yet it would change on this year's model and they are no longer individually adjusted.
You guys who adjust both of them at the same time.
Both of them do get just at the same time.
They also said they had a mechanic there who knew how to adjust just the brake pedal, but when I went back to have that done, they said they couldn't do it because of liability reasons.
They recommended a handicapped company to put an adapter on the top of the brake pedal to raise it up, but that was not an option.
It was just too white.
I didn't get that done.
Speaker 2What do you mean it was?
So let me ask a couple of questions, right, because I was going to actually say right, handicapped vehicle controls would probably be the way to go.
Do you have a do you have a lazy right foot?
Does it flop over?
Not to get personal, but we're here on radio, so nobody will see you.
Speaker 3I know it's talking about I don't think so it's it just stays it does stay could write a little bit.
But when you step on a brake, the brake pedal top of it is in line with the gas pedal at the top of the gas pedal.
Speaker 2Right, but if you're if you're stepping on what I don't understand is if you I'm just trying to visualize this, If you're stepping on the brake and your foot is straight up total heel top the bottom, how do you manage to catch the gas pedal?
Speaker 3Well, I'm not fully over on the right hand side of the get the brake pedal.
I thought if I could get the brake pedal raised up a little bit to keep it from being in line with the gas pedal, that would solve the problem.
So what I'm trying to do is use my left foot for brakes in my right foot.
Speaker 2I don't want to see you do that because I think that that makes it We're going to have to retrain you in your in your in, your in your driving approach.
So what you're effectively asking for is you want a block of wood on the brake.
Speaker 3Pedal something like that, or now this this one guy, this technician, said that he was a will to adjust the brake pedal linkage to bring the break higher than what the what it is now, But then they said they wouldn't do it because you change anything from the manufacturer, then there's liability.
Speaker 2Yeah, there is a liability, so you know, and that's hence that brings us back to the handicapped vehicle control.
You know, you can't be the only person in America that's got this issue.
You know, there are people with handicaps that are obviously driving.
There are people, I'm sure that have a foot position issue such as you're having.
So did you talk to the handicapped vehicle control people?
Speaker 3I went down in and I saw what they have, and it's it's a block.
It's made out of metal and rubber that you put on the top of the brake pedal, which brings it up.
But it's a high piece.
It's not even one that you can have the size made up, so it's high.
I've sort of just putting something on it myself and bolted it right break up.
Speaker 2Well can you take and I'm trying to imagine what they have, but can you take whatever they're going to have and say, well, that's too high, I need half that thickness.
Take it to a machine shop and have them machine it in half and then bolt it on.
Speaker 3I had a door to that, but that that's one reason.
One way I haven't.
Speaker 2I don't know what the device looks like.
You know, listen, we can we can modify cars to such a degree.
I'm sure this isn't the most insurmountable problem in the whole world.
It's just going to take some thought.
Yes, there's some liability issues, you know, as far as to be concerned about.
But I think if we follow common sense guidelines and and you know, however, the handicapped vehicle controls places doing it, I'm sure if you follow some sort of guideline from them, and then that's not to say, hey, listen, wherever you went, they're not the only ones.
Speaker 4You know.
Speaker 2You can't convince me that you know you're the only person with this condition.
I always say that it's a big country there, They've they've got to have scenarios that accommodate a wide variety of driving habits, so to speak.
It's a fair way to say it.
And I would encourage you.
I would say, let's just you know, Google search, you know, handicapped vehicle controls.
I have an issue.
I have a customer who has trying to think he has no left leg, no right leg, no legs at all.
Actually he's on mechanical legs.
And the sweetheart of a guy, really and we kind of kid about it.
Speaker 4You know.
Speaker 2One time I had to put him on the lift to a justice leg.
I actually tightened some of the screws that were falling out for him, and we kind of made a Okay, you're the car of the week, get up on the lift and we raised them up and tightening screws, and you know, it's it's that kind of relationship.
We get along very well.
And I've seen some of the configurations and devices that Keith has brought in to me to have me install over the years, and I mean there's a bunch of stuff out there, so and we've actually ordered things for him off of Amazon, believe it or not.
Go to Amazon, type in vehicle handicap controls, watch what comes up.
Speaker 3I gotta do that.
And I'll also check and see what they have at this handicaps shop and see if I can get it adjusted right.
Speaker 2You know, is there a way to modify this?
I would stay away from the linkage and the pivot and the fulcrum because now we're playing with geometry.
I want to just yeah, I just want to play with the pedal height and see what that gets me.
All right, do that, Frank, I gotta go.
You'd be well.
Good luck t in if you need more.
Please give me a call back.
We can chat about it some more.
I'm ronning Andy and the car doctor.
We are back right after this next up.
Let's go to John and Florida right away.
John five Chevy Silverado Diesel and uh, we'll yes, sir, what's going on.
Speaker 4I've got a lot of information, but so and I don't want to take up a lot of your time.
Two thousand and five Silverado twenty five hundred diesel four by four brought new low mileage because we only use it the hall heavy equipment on the farm, and it's had We're north of Pensacola in Florida, so it's had a For the first from two thousand and five to two thousand and eight, it had very benign driving conditions.
After that, I took a job in western New York, about a tenth of a mile from Lake Ontario, and the conditions were less than perfect.
We came back to the farm in twenty fifteen and for about five years the vehicle ran nicely.
One day we were getting supplies in Pensacola and the hot day came out.
Tried to turn the car over and it was just it just cranked and cranked.
And cranked, and I have enough experience of diesels to know it was a fuel issued.
So I had the vehicle towed to my mechanic who happens to have the same year and exact same truck as I do.
And they've taken it apart a couple of times, so I trust him.
What they did.
What they did was to uh, I guess, there's a fuel pump and a filter in the tank.
So they took the tank down, took the filter out, took the pump out, and cleaned it out.
There was a lot of sand in it, and put in a new fuel chill filter in the engine compartment.
Two days later, I was in Pensacola and the same thing happened.
I called him up.
He told me how to start the vehicle.
Get in the engine compartment and pump the there's a pump.
Speaker 2There is the prime.
The pump prime it yep.
Speaker 4Like on tractors, and do it ten times and try to turn it over and woof, it started right up.
Speaker 2Okay, So here's my here's my first question.
All right, there is a there is a pressure test port behind the alternator.
All right, are you aware of this?
Speaker 3No?
Speaker 4Where is it?
Speaker 2Okay?
Speaker 4I really don't service this vehicle.
Speaker 2All right, so ask your mechanic this all right, let's be cause let's let's just because I already know where this is going.
I can tell there's a lot of pain involved here for you.
And and you know, yes, I understand diesel owners, long term diesel owners become diesel mechanics after a while, you have to.
So it's just it's just part of the part of the process and the ritual.
Behind the alternator, there's a vacuum test port or there's a test port, uh pressure pressure tap, so hook a pressure vacuum gates to that crank the engine.
It absolutely positively has to build vacuum.
I bet it doesn't.
I bet it doesn't.
And it should hold that vacuum indefinitely, all right.
You should see two to four inches of cranking vacuum rough numbers, all right.
And what that shows is that shows there is system integrity from the front of the vehicle to the tank.
Got it, all right?
And if that vacuum doesn't build or doesn't hold, now let's go find out why.
And for the record, OH fives were the worst.
Oh fives had the most pores.
Moret there were more porosity problems with fuel lines and and fuel connections and fittings and air in the system and not holding vacuum.
I think then all the gms, OH fives and O four's actually but but this is not an uncommon problem.
And I can tell you why.
I can tell you why it happened.
You were great in Florida.
It went you took the truck up the up to New York.
Right, it's been I don't know, five years in the wonderful salt belt.
When it started right, and then it came right, and then it came back.
Then it came back to Florida, and it was good for a while until you know, it sort of got activated, and then one day that's it.
You're done.
You know, my TV that worked yesterday doesn't work today.
Sooner or later, things roughte Are you near the ocean at all?
I don't know.
I don't remember where Pensacola is.
Speaker 4Yeah, we're right on, we're right.
Well, we're about thirty miles from the from the Gulf of America, Okay, And and that's about it.
Speaker 2So, so you went to the salt belt.
You applied several doses of calcium chloride and and a whole bunch of other chemicals to keep the road free and clean.
And then you brought it back to Florida and you activated it.
Congratulations, Right, it's it's I bet you this is going to be a fuel related rusted porous line issue.
But that is the first thing you want to do.
That test port.
You can actually find all this as a service procedure in any of the GM service information.
It'll be there.
They talk about vacuum testing, pressure gauge to the test port and what the results of that has to be.
Speaker 4All right, you know that amazing?
That amazes me, Ron, because I even have I have two case files with Chevrolet.
I tried getting information and they didn't have any clue what was happening.
I even called Duramax in Canada and they said, well, we don't support the engine we sell to Chevrolet.
Speaker 2No, there should be there.
There absolutely should be a test port.
This is a six six, right, there's a six to six diesel six six Duramax.
Yeah.
Yes, I remember my instructor in class explaining this to us twenty years ago that it's got to be there.
There's got to be it, there's got to be a port.
Speaker 4Has to be all right, if a vacuum, should that hold vacuum.
Speaker 2We typically saw two to four inches, you know, two to five inches, but it should hold.
It should hold that vacuum.
It should it should it should stay above one to two inches even after the engine stops cranking.
I mean theoretically they say it should be there indefinitely.
I don't know how true that is.
It's I've never really looked at it longer than you know.
Okay, it's there.
But think of it like this.
It's it's if this was a a gasoline engine with a mechanical lift pumph, a mechanical pump, all right, A mechanical pump does not pump fuel.
Theoretically, a mechanical pump creates a low vacuum condition, right, and it doesn't suck.
It just creates a low vacuum condition and atmospheric pressure pushes down on the fuel to drive it out of the tank through the lineup to the That's kind of the physics of how a lift pump works.
That's the theory of how they explain it to us in class.
But it's the idea by which we diagnose the diesel.
Speaker 4That so the yeah, it makes sense to me.
It's so the under conditions where the vehicle starts, it should still I mean, whether it starts or it stops.
I'm not going to have the wherewithal to hook up a vacuum gauge to the port behind the alternator when it doesn't start, but when it does start, it should when it cranks, it should maintain the two to four inches of that.
Speaker 3Well.
Speaker 2Once, once fuel is flowing, it's flowing right once when you siphon fuel out of a tank, Once you you know, and get the mouthful of fuel or liquid or whatever it is, it continues to flow.
Do you ever think about how come that works.
Speaker 4Because there's no cavitation right?
Speaker 2Well, well, because because atmospheric pressure is pushing down on the fuel in the tank and pushing it up out to the point of lowest pressure which you created by sucking on it.
Mm hmm, all right, which is the whole We can have a conversation about this for about two hours about how carburetors work, but it all, it all, all the physics comes back to this.
So when that doesn't start, you're just looking to see can it build vacuum during a crank?
Simple test if you can't find information on it.
You send me the then I'll find the test procedure.
I'll email it to you roniccardoctorshow dot com.
Speaker 4I sure will, all right, So let me get this right so I can explain it to the mechanic.
And I know I'm not going to be able to get to the truck to the mechanic when it doesn't start like this.
So will there be any variation in the vacuum when I drive the vehicle up to the shop and tell them.
Speaker 2Hey, hook up a vacuum, do this, do this, don't look at it when it's bad, run the test when it's good.
So you understand what So if you right, we always want to look at a good vehicle.
He's got the same vehicle, ask him to do the test on his vehicle.
Right.
If we don't test broken cars or vehicles, right, John, that's the rule.
We don't test cars when they're broken.
We test cars when they're good, so we know what they're going to look like when they're broken.
Oky, All right, simple stuff.
Speaker 4I'll send you the vin and and we'll go from there.
Speaker 2We'll go from there.
A right, but I'm sure that's going to have a test port but that's the first thing.
Do we have vacuum because why does the primer work?
If the primer didn't work, then maybe we've got a fickum problem.
Maybe we've got a fuel delivery problem.
Maybe we've got a glow plug issue, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
But this sounds like fuel's not getting there now.
The question is why vacuum test port?
All right, I gotta go, send me an email.
Speaker 4Hey, thanks you.
Speaker 2Very welcome, sir.
You'll be well eight five five five six zero nine nine zero zero.
What else could it be?
I'm running any of the card doctor.
I'll be back right after this.
Hey, we are rolling along the cellar.
Let's get to Gerald in North Carolina, Gerald Deron with the card doctor.
How can I help?
Speaker 3Hello?
Jerod?
Speaker 4Hello, how you doing, sir?
Speaker 2What's going on?
Speaker 5I've got a twenty ten model for grinder four truck.
Okay, it's four OV six automatic and everything is uh what it's doing.
Whenever I started it in morning, everyone's dying.
I've started back up maybe twice three times sometimes and then it runs just fine.
Maybe drive it seven miles or something soft, shut it down, get back in its fires right back up.
Speaker 2Okay.
Speaker 5Yesterday I had a gem of a mechanic's coat of church where he put a clean the throttle body and he put a new I tauch you mass airflow sandstro on truck.
And it started this morning, but it kind of quivered a little bit, but it didn't die.
And I just wonder what the problem, what the real problem is with this truck?
Speaker 2Well?
Is it?
Is it fixed?
Is the first question?
So is it mass airflow related or is it a fuel pressure problem?
So if you want to prove, if you want to prove, was it I guess are you questioning is it the mass airflow because it runs different now?
Or it runs okay?
Which is it?
Speaker 5Well, it didn't die whereas it had been dying, you know, and I haven't started back up, but it didn't start really smooth and run, you know, just fire off that bucket.
Speaker 2Should okay, So it acts like a.
Speaker 5Fuel pressure brod and the table wall need to go to the fix it.
Speaker 2And I was going to suggest did anybody check fuel pressure?
You know, how did we come to the conclusion of a mass era?
Speaker 5Was it had that check?
I had that check in a garage maybe a couple of ways ago.
The truck didn't nie on them.
They can't it overnight, and it didn't nye for them, and they couldn't really figure that.
I did a fuel pressures on it, and uh, it started and then while the gate was on.
It holds great fuel pressure, but it said the ship the truck off and it wanted nothing.
So I didn't have any residual pressure it.
Speaker 2It should hold some residual But if the condition isn't there when the you know, if if they start, if they turn the key on, fuel pressure goes to spec and they turn it off and it holds and then drops, but the truck fires right up.
I'm not so concerned about the loss of a residual I want to know what fuel pressure's doing when it doesn't start.
So here's well, I was going to say what my question would be, all right, if you sat there and if the problem was happening, and it sounds like it's not for right now, and the fact that we've changed the part kind of convolutes the diagnosis.
We've watered down the chicken soup.
We don't know how good it is yet.
Is if you sat there and turned the key prime the pump shut it off.
Wait a couple of seconds, prime the pump.
Shut it off.
You know, if you prime the rail, would it have started prior to putting the mass airflow on?
Of course, there's no rule that says you've only got one problem.
Right.
It sounds like the fellow that put the mass air on, and I'm not saying he was wrong, but it sounds like this.
I don't hear any diagnosis being done.
It sounds like this was his best guess and he might have discovered something, or this might be the moment the truck is running on its own and it's not having the problem.
Do you still have the old mass airflow?
Speaker 4I do?
Speaker 2Was this a Hey, he's my buddy thing, let me help him.
And we haven't said this is a finished repair?
Speaker 5Was it?
Speaker 4Hey?
Speaker 2Let me put a mass airflow on and try it and see what happens.
Speaker 4Okay?
Speaker 5He put wong had you of him?
And the truck didn't like I said, I started truck this morning and it didn't I like it.
Ben died and that restarted right, but it didn't start running.
It was its smooth Is it really over the kind of quiver little?
Speaker 4Or uh?
Speaker 2Right?
Speaker 3Well?
Speaker 2Listen, listen, listen, listen to me g and then I gotta go all right, there's no diagnosis been done here.
Okay, try it with the mass airflow at this point, can you replicate before you change any more parts?
Can you replicate the original problem?
If the original problem happens, put the old mass airflow back on, catch it with the problem with fuel pressure.
Then we can talk some more.
I hope that's the best I can do for you at the moment, ronn and And and the car doctor.
I'll be back right after this.
Hey coming up, I think this week or next week.
It'll launch up on the YouTube channel a video about changing spark plugs on a twenty fifteen Toyota Highlander.
And I realized, gee, that sounds so simple.
What's the specialty or what makes that video so special?
I'm trying something different.
