Rev up your engines, petris says good morning scotty I'm planning

on buying an Acura TLX, what do you think is it a good pick over a c class mercedes

or 3 series bmw, yes for that it is acuras as they age they get to be more expensive

to repair than say a toyota or lexus, but they generally don't start falling apart

until their 10 years or older, while mercedes and bmw are endless money pits from the very

beginning, your much better off buying the acura if those

are the choices you have, because I mean the mercedes and bwms, now you can get used ones

a lot cheaper because their resale values are garbage, but their going to cost you a

lot more to fix, the resale value of the acura is acutally higher percentage wise than the

bmw or mercedes, because it is a better made car in the long run,

beast says my dad wants to buy a 1971 vw bus any thoughts, I guess he was a hippy back

in the day right, now he wants to relive his hippy days or wants to pretend he's a hippy,

those are very simple vehicles, their pretty easy to work on, the problem is those are

becoming very popular, because a lot of people who were hippies in the 60's now have money

to spend, so they go for an awful lot of money, I've seen them around here in texas, some

of those things are going for $15-20k, to be that's a lot of money for a thing that

can barely get out of it's way, they had weak very little power engines, but if he really

wants one, the parts are around and their easy to work on, you know their fun vehicles

to drive around if he doesn't mind spending the money he has to spend, parts are around

and if he really like one, hey go right ahead, super, when I drove my car it started spitting

oil after a transmission fluid change, ok I'm assuming whoever did the change put too

much fluid in, all automatic transmission have to be vented because of the way their

designed, so they all have a little vent and usually

the vent has a check valve, so it can't suck water or anything and it can only spit the

fluid out, if some fool put too much fluid in it, automatic

transmissions, most of them hold a lot of fluid, some of them hold 18-28 quarts of fluid,

and they get hot and as they get hot the fluid expands, and if they put too much fluid and

as it expands, it's going to start spitting the fluid out of that vent hose, so you want

to make sure it doesn't have too much fluid, have it checked, if it has too much fluid,

drain it out so it has the right amount of fluid, odds are that's what it is, I see that

all the time, people put too much fluid in and then when it heats up, it start spitting

the fluid out, now if it's not transmission fluid or something

else, whoever did the work messed up and knocked

a hose or a line off or something and take it back to them and have them fix the problem

they created in the first place, mc says scotty can a bad oxygen sensor give

me bad gas mileage, well of course it can but here's the thing

you have to understand about oxygen sensors, oxygen sensors measure the left over oxygen

that's in your exhaust and that tells the computer so the computer will always try to

make your car run at the perfect air fuel ratio, which is like 14.7 parts air to 1 part

gasoline, so generally the oxygen sensor is just telling

you how the system is working, and if the oxygen sensor shows that your system

is running rich, more often it's a problem like a leaking fuel injector, you have a problem

that's making the engine have too much gasoline in it so more comes out of the exhaust and

the oxygen sensor tell you it's running rich, it's not usually the problem itself, now oxygen

sensors can like everything else wear out over time and let's say you got a junker that

burns a bunch of oil, well that oil burning is going to clog up the oxygen sensor and

give it false reading of course, most of the time the oxygen sensor is telling

you of a different problem in the car and it's not the senor themselves,

I bought an old 1982 ford f150 300 straight 6 cylinder for $900, it's cold in North Dakota,

I drive it 5 miles down the road and it putters along and seems like it's not getting power,

what seems to be the problem, what are you talking about, a 27 year old truck, you know

there could be a bunch of different problems, start out with the most simple thing would

be, change the spark plugs, the air filter, the fuel filter, then see what happens, if

it still does it, the you'd want to pressure test the fuel pump, a weak fuel pump will

do the whole thing, and you only paid $900, you might if you have a pressure gauge or

a friend with one, just do a wet and dry compression test of the engine, I've got videos for that

on YouTube, and see if the engine is just flat worn out,

because if it's that old and you find out the pressure in the cylinders are low, it's

just a worn out engine, and that's so easy to test on those it would take you 15-20 minutes,

you might start by checking the engine to see, hey is this worn out or is it good and

I can fill it with other stuff, Chad says I got an Audi v8, I'm looking for

a cheap way to clean intake valves, how concerned should I be about destroying my cat thanks,

well audi the company itself tells people not to use cleaners, because they say if you

get carbon built up, the carbon can get out if it breaks up and not only can it ruin the

catalytic converter, if you have a turbocharged ones it can get in an ruin your turbocharger,

they advise you not to do it at all, but if you want to do it,

I've got a video on how to make your car run better with a little spray cleaner, watch

that, those cleaners are pretty safe cleaners, I've used them on customers cars and I've

never had any problems with them yet, so you might try that and it will cost you like $15

for the cleaner just follow the directions to a T to what I show and your not going to

hurt anything generally, so if you never want to miss another one of

my new car repair videos, remember to ring that bell!
