MAX vs Mice - No Go Colorado
Remember the Colorado we had donated to the college in a previous video? The one that the mice had made a meal of all the engine wiring.
With limited time and many months later, what was the result? Did the mice win and set up the engine compartment into a cozy rodent Airbnb? I could almost hear them say:
Mouse 1: “Hey, Jerry, I bet you can’t gnaw through that injector wire in under 30 seconds.”
Mouse 2: “Hold my cheese.”
But out of the darkness comes a mild-mannered hero, one who quietly goes about his work, without a word of complaint, tackling the task at hand.
Firstly, the freeloaders and their makeshift nests were evicted. With each piece of wire repaired, he feels a little more like a superhero, wiring man by day, rodent buster by night. After many painstaking hours of electrical repairs, a triumphant grin comes across his face as he hops into the Colorado and starts the engine, a clear sign that he's won this round.

    Hi, My CV8 Monaro manual trans has a wierd Cruise fault. I can select cruise pushing the on button however once i reach 30klms an hour the cruise cancels. So far I replaced the brake switch (as coincidentally was faulty) but no change. have you ever had this fault? One comment was my staggered wheels might be a cause? (front 235/35. rear 245/35)

    • @MiracleMAX
      @MiracleMAX Před dnem

      Yes, unless fitted by the factory, you should keep the original size tyres, otherwise it can mess with your cruise control, traction control and ABS. I couldn't read you comment fully as a section just has a list of numbers. How long have you had the cruise problem? Does it coincide with the installation of the tyres?

      @lbackhausen1 Před dnem

      @@MiracleMAX Hi, I bought the car about a month ago, with the malfunction and the wheels / tyres. I think the previous owner gave up on fixing it. The fault is totally repeatable... as soon as i speed up to 30klms an hour every time to cruise cancels. The rear is 245 / 35RZ19 and the front is 235 / 35 RZ 19. The rear wheels see like very deep dish so might have a fair offset. The rear tyres seem like they are stretched onto the rim as well so the rim may be too wide also.

I guess you can't drive it on a hoist. Does yours have traction control and ABS? If so and you have it on a hoist, the ABS module will activate, just like shown in the video. Do you have a scan tool?

    Thanks for that Max - little tip for those who just have a clogged filter sock but the pump is fine - amayama has replacement socks for $30. Typically takes a few weeks to arrive where I am (NZ), so in the meantime, you can take the sock off, give it a good soak in some clean fuel, brush out what you can with a toothbrush, and give it a good blast with some compressed air. Cleans it up enough to last until the spare part arrives, and doesn't require full disassembly.

      @MiracleMAX Před 4 dny

      Yes, I did try and source a loom, but most wreckers just cut them off or leave them with the engine. I would hate to think what genuine would be worth! It was mainly the injector section of the wiring, including cam and crank sensors, temp sensors, evap & turbo wastegate solenoids. A few repairs done at the PCM as well as at the fuse box. I do like a challenge 😁 Also it was a great feeling when it finally fired up. Very hard to say how long it took to do the entire job, including all the fuel related stuff, as it was an hour here and there. Just throwing a figure out there .....maybe 10 hours??? We now have a 4 cylinder (only running happily on 3 - low compression, which I can use to show a relative compression test) Colorado that we can use. We have been using it for over a year to do suspension, gearboxes, transfer case, clutches and brakes just by pushing it around the workshop. Now we have the added luxury of being able to run the engine to do all engine related diagnostics. Thanks for your comments. 😉👍

    Very methodical explanation Max .

    @waynoswaynos Před 8 dny

    Nice one thank you for sharing your journey. Very helpful indeed. You had started the video without showing the world how you separated the pump housing from the motor and I had trouble with that part. For anyone interested. I tried beating on it with a wooden mallet, and a rubber mallet, and a soft faced hammer, and oiling the join, to no avail. Then I mixed up a 50/50 mix of acetone and ATF fluid and dropped some around the entire join and beat on it some more. It opened a crack. Then used a heat gun for about 10 minutes on the housing. Being so heavy it took that long to only just get it warm and did not hurt the paint any. But that was enough. I beat on it some more with the mallets and got it apart about 2mm and let out a small yippee. Then tapped in some screwdrivers where the studs are located and easily removed it. For the Impeller nut, I carefully tipped the motor onto its base, on my trolley so it could not roll out and break a toe, resting on some scrap styrene sheet to protect it, and then dripped some more of my ATF Penetrating Oil onto the nut and it spun it off with an impact driver with 21mm socket. Then more ATF and an hour to work. Wiggled it and turned it for a minute and it spun right off too! Also, soaking the rusted parts over night including the plastic parts in 10 litres of water with about 100g of citric acid ate up the rust, and left a coating on iron citrate on the metal which is somewhat corrosion resistant. For the rest, watch this great guide by MiracleMax. Cheers all.

    • @MiracleMAX
      @MiracleMAX Před 8 dny

      Sounds like you were a busy guy! Thanks for the suggestions. It has been a while since I did the repair, but I think I just wedged screwdrivers between the housings and 'gently' tapped. You are right - being rusted, there were no shortcuts.

Have you checked for voltage drops on both the voltage and ground circuits? Can you apply power from a battery to the motor to get it to go up and down? If you can raise and lower the window (change polarity of connections to change motor direction) with an independant battery, these have power supplied from the master switch, so that might be an issue.

      @MiracleMAX Před 19 dny

      That's unusual! Did you remove the steering column or do it in the vehicle? Did you remove any connectors with the ignition turned on? Have you tried disconnecting the battery if you don't have a scan tool? That might help reset some values. What lights on the dash are on? Does the power steering work and have you driven it for an extended road test?

What’s your thoughts thanks mate ❤

    • @MiracleMAX
      @MiracleMAX Před 21 dnem

      Great to hear you are in the trade! There is a massive skills shortage & has been for decades. The main attraction to the mines is the money. Heavy vehicle & Plant are paid more without a doubt. I have been in Light Vehicle for well over 54 years & love it. It has to be a passion and not just a job otherwise there are plenty other higher paying jobs. You can finish your Plant apprenticeship and then do a linking course into Light if you wish, that way you will have dual certificates. Make sure you go to a general workshop, not a dealership to gain the best experience. There are plenty of TAT (The Automotive Technician) workshops out there with very high standards, who focus on training and retaining their staff. www.tat.net.au/ Each section of the trade has it's good and bad points and now with EV, Hybrid, EVFC & Hydrogen we are now starting on another exciting learning path. Let us know what you decide and how you go. 👍😉
