- So this Caprice has multiple things going on. One intermittent that we did not get to reproduce, but we did find a problem or two that we were able to fix. A former taxi with over 250 thousand miles on it.

All the great Techs seem to have the same method scan code setting criteria wire diagram test and retest. Once again great video. Joe.
"Test and retest" is key of a good tech. Dealt with so many cars at my shop "i just had that part fixed last week at ---------- shop" cause they look at code throw a part at it and clear computer and kick em out the door, without actually confirming the fault was corrected.
Just had one last week last shop replaced a $100 egr valve when all it needed was a $12 repair connector.
THIS GUY IS THE LUCKIEST MAN ON EARTH JUST SO HAPPENED THE BRAKE LINE GOES IN YOUR
GARAGE. I GUESS SOMEONE WAS LOOKING OUT FOR YOU
KEEP UP THE GOOD WORK MY FRIEND.
MAY YOU HAVE LOVE AND FAVOR IN YOUR LIFE.👍🌹😷
Years back I had a late 90s Chevy Lumina 2.8L come in with a bad running problem only at idle. It went through a few different shops before coming to me and they changed EVERYTHING. Apparently it originally had an engine put in and never ran right after that, but just at idle. I put the scanner on and watch my PIDs, at idle EGR is reading 20%, look under the hood and it has a brand new GM EGR. KOEO it reads 0% and at idle 20%, I pull it off and verify proper operation. I block off the EGR gasket and fire it up, it runs mint. After some thinking I look at it and the EGR (digital) can be installed either way! The dummy that did the engine put the EGR on backward so the back pressure was pushing the pintle just off it's seat at idle causing the poor running condition.
Once something has been molested , trust NOTHING ! Remember , they are EXPERTS ! I hope I am still learning .
man u are one smart dude!!!! i wish i was closer id be tryin to get a job at ur shop......learn so much off ur videos and im sure u have so much more to teach .
Glad to help
@@JoesAutoElectric dont stop ur videos... love them... watch everyone u post
Joe I like the fact that you always start most of your videos with a wiring diagram and a scan test. Obviously you can't fix a problem if you don't know how the system functions. Thanks again for filming the repair. As always stay well Artie ❤️
It is ok if we cant see it but if you had a magnetic phone or camera holder you can place the camera over your work area we will be-able to see enough it is really your comments we count on Joe so don’t fret over the small stuff 🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
As usual great vid!! Honest and thorough!!
Always enjoy all of your videos.
Looks like someone did some real gooder brake line repairs on that. I usually just put in one new piece of nicopp, from one end to the other, no unions if possible. Nice repair
Thanks for the video Joe
Wow a 1996 Caprice wow I don't think many live here but classic! Not bad of NJ area. Thanks Joe!
Great job again like always
Thank you so much 😀
Great job brother. 👍👍
Your exactly right the pumps are pricey. Repaired a p0410 dtc on a S-10. Pump ended up to be a water filter. 😲😲
I see the yellow OEM paint bet it was a Taxi at one time.
The green silicone hoses (at 11:50) are a dead give away of it being a 9C1 (Police car) or 9C6 (Taxi). I'm surprised how many issues were NOT discovered. These cars are beaten to death before just being junked!
Great video as usual joe!!
I appreciate that
Great video , brake line rotted out in ny no way , lucky it blew in the garage Thanks for the videos
Well, you repaired the engine enough to pass emissions inspection (no DTC's although it probably has oil leaks up the ying yang but I'm not so sure it would pass the safety inspection given mileage. If customer is prudent, he will have you do a preliminary safety inspection at the same time for any possible safety issues with tie rods, ball joints, etc...
Great work as usual! 👍
nice find and repair....its round 2 on those steel replacement lines I have that prolight and its awesome so much better than astro and mac thanks joe
Thanks for the vid!
Nice quick fix. Good thing the brake line broke there and not after the customer took it
I maintain a 2004 Ford Falcon wagon here in Australia , an ex taxi, that has just clocked over 900K ( about 560K miles), second engine, second gear box and no rust! lol Stay safe Joe, enjoy your channel.
Wow, some kind of record there brother.l
As always a great video
Glad you enjoyed it
Nice tutorial on the finding fault and repair. 👍 Lucky the brakes lifted its leg in your shop. Especially in a city. 😲
Brought back some memories as soon as i saw the yellow on the firewall i saw Ex-Taxi. Painted many of that vintage model Impala`s from my old employer in NJ for NJ Transit Police. Shaved the rear Bowtie emblems (police didn`t want to fool around with the pivoting bowtie to open the trunklid.) then painted blue stripe around the belt line added graphics then off to War.
I think when your head was in the camera shots i thought i heard Joe Biden sniffing ? 😅
It's one thing to repair some wires, quite another to drive a death trap. Boy, sometimes you get lucky.
Great video.
Glad you enjoyed it
Joe , I am sure you have seen almost everything out there . You may want to make note that COMPRESSION FITTING on the Bill that it's not safe to drive and will fail inspection and have him sign it . CYA is the name of the game .
Absolutely did.
I'll admit when you found the tape wrapped around those wires that the wires were going to be just twisted together and not soldered or splice sleeved together. At least the brake line failed at a good time, right in the shop.
🤣🤣🤣 Guess i should have waited until the end of the video before i commented 🤘🏻🤣🤘🏻
If I see scotchlocks or a twisted taped up splice, out come the cutters and either solder and heat shrink or heat shrink crimps. Good video on a ragged out car.
My first alarm was seeing a compression union on what appeared to be a brake line. Was that line the one you had to replace?
MASH that subscribe button for Joe!
I just love when I fix a problem on a customers car and before they pick it up I’ll call them and let them know about other issues and potential problems that I found on there car , some sound like they get an attitude or pissed with me .
Customer thinks: I hope this isn't going to cost too much.
Tech says: I also found a worn ball joint, and your brakes are almost to the metal.
Customer hears "you've got air in your headlights, and water dripping out of the tail pipe. It might cost you more than a new car"
Customer thinks, you're not putting one over on me... Those things are normal!
I'd love to know who went to the expense of respraying that?Somebody must have loved it!
Unless they all have yellow engine bays? Aah!,was just typing this when i heard 'taxi' :-)
Been there done that and i have never had a customer wine about a broken brake line that happen here while it was with me.....They are always Great full that it didn’t break on them one the road....But i also dont live in Jersey or New York which has an Abundance of Asshats....😂🤣🤣🤣 Great Job keep them Video’s coming.🤘🏻🤘🏻🤘🏻
John Martin We have an over abundance of asshats and dickheads in NJ. I'm outta here as soon as I can afford to move
Well i wish nothing but the best you and joe and all the others that are out there looking out for there Customers best interests.....I am a SemiRetired Tech of 30yrs it is a very challenging business 🤘🏻🤘🏻😁
I started my career out in a Chevy Dealership then moved to Ford Dealership then on to Chrysler Jeep Eagle Dealership then finally into a mom and pop shop for my last 11yrs....When I Retired i had a huge following that i built a Big Shop at home out in the Country and Now i am a OneMan show with about 80 customers and that is about all i can handle Privately. I am 54 and im sure one day i will let it all go so i do wish you younger men the Best because it is a tough business.
Thank you. This business is a challenge for sure. Always will be.
Great job Joe...……….I hear there is some talk to bring back "cash for clunkers"; I think we have a 'candidate' here.
There was a problem, though. All the destroyed engines left very few available for parts for the poor folks who could not afford newer vehicles. It was a good and bad program.
@@jeffryblackmon4846 I agree; the first attempt was flawed, so perhaps some other criteria to not crush and destroy but just an effort to get the 'junk' off the road (especially the dangerous).
Hey!
where'd all this fancy-schmancy editing come from?
Nice work, keep it up!
DONT U JUST LOVE THOSE PEOPLE THAT GIVE US SOMETHING TO DO??????? OR NOT?????
Hello, I have a Caprice 1995 lt1 5.7. If the engine is cold, it does not go well and I hear a popping sound from the air inlet. I press the accelerator pedal, but it does not respond quickly, and sometimes the engine turns off, and if the engine warms up, it becomes normal. I checked the fuel pressure at 42 psi, what is the problem?
“The popping sound occurs when the accelerator pedal is suddenly depressed while the engine is cold”
I hope you got paid for the brake line. Nice work.
What is the brand name of your work light?
Quality and life expectancy of splices from worst to best: Wires twisted and taped, crimped with a non sealing jacket, crimped with a sealing shrink jacket, soldered taped or non sealing jacket, soldered with a sealing jacket. Of course the solder joint has to be clean and get good flow. You can't get a good solder joint on corroded wires.
At 3:40 I saw a COMPRESSION FITTING on a steel line . Was that a BRAKE LINE ? With some taxi's , it's ANYTHING GOES ! I sold a 1990's Malibu that needed work - AS IS . I told them it needed brake lines replaced - NOT safe to drive . One guy wanted to put RUBBER hoses on !
Unfortunately yes it was. NOT my repair, mind you. Mine was to make a new line front to back.
"That was not the code"
Unappreciative customer.
Bet he gave you a hard time about fixing the brake line too.
No, he was actually fine to deal with. And the car did have other issues as well. But, no repairs made.
Whats the point of the airpump?
Rusty death trap. No way that would pass an mot test in uk.
Off topic but what solder should I buy for 14gauge thur 18gauge wire for auto repair. What is that 60-40 all about, also do I buy the 1mm or is that not right?
Rosin core solder is what you want for electrical repairs. The 60/40 refers to the ratio of Tin (Sn) to lead (Pb) in the solder. As to the diameter it really depends. The thicker stuff takes more heat to melt as you can probably imagine. If you were making a lot of battery cables it's nice to have. You can use the thin stuff on thicker wire, but will end up feeding it faster and using more of the roll for each joint. I think some of it comes down to personal preference. I tend to use 3/32" for most things. Works well as general purpose for me. Just my 2 cents, hope that helps!
@@gearheadautomotivel.l.c.5476 ok so if I buy a roll of 60/40 3/32 I should be good for most stuff.
@@lovetolearn5253 Yeah you should be. That's what I tend to use for most things. Doesn't hurt to have a couple different sizes but not necessary. Grab you some soldering flux and horsehair brushes to spread it with. Practice & patience, biggest 2 things with learning to solder. You'll get it though. Happy soldering!
@@gearheadautomotivel.l.c.5476 thanks my friend
@@lovetolearn5253 No problem. Happy to help. 🙂
Brake line leak my car = Nicopp done!
that poor car has seen lots of salt
I'll never understand the twist wire and tape repair....
Seriously. That and the wire nut repair some people seem to like. If you aren't going to solder it at least use a weatherproof butt connector.
obviously you are not responsible for vehicles that are that old if things break during your repair
True, but id does make customers suspicious.
Well, not much to be suspicious about. The car is rotted from one end to the other.
The title is misleading. Is it a Caprice Classic or a Classic case of egr trouble?
