Classic Car Doctor, Date Unknown?  The Older Volvo Phone Call From Florida

Welcome to todays Classic Car Doctor episode! Ron finishes a call from the previous episode about a Ford Taurus with a miss fire fault. The ignition system came 2 ways this year, 2001. A coil on plug stand along version and a coil on plug with ignition wires. It matters not because Ron helps us understand the proper method to test ignition coils and systems using some basic, affordable test equipment. 
Next up is a call from NYC regarding a 2005 Honda Civic with a rattling front suspension noise. The chain store that replaced front struts in the vehicle says its not their part and the Honda dealer says it is. The vehicle owner is stuck in the middle and he turns to Ron for the answer. A tough spot for sure but The Car Doctor has the answers and ideas to help. 
Lansing Michigan is calling in next; Tim has a low level vibration noise in his ES300 Lexus that no one seems to be able to repair. But Ron has some answers and they are simple solutions. Tune in to find out!
Last today; well, its an Obi-Wan Kanobi moment. "Help me Car Doctor, you're my only hope" from a caller with a 2006 GMC Sierra that won't start in high humidity conditions. Parts have been replaced but testing has not been done to any great degree. Listen in as Ron springs into action to offer several solutions and possibilities for all to learn from.

We start up The Car Doctor today with calls. Ron starts this episode with a caller from PA and some questions about his 2015 Jaguar XF. The Jag recently had an engine noise which required a replacement of the timing chain and tensioners. EVER SINCE, it hesitates when starting out. Complicated? Yes! Tune in to hear how Ron breaks it down into a simple approach by following a diagnostic routine. With Fathers Day next month Ron announces  his annual book giveaway with author interviews coming up soon. This year, one of the interviews will be with Thomas Glatch, covering his co-authored book, about to hit the book stores, The Complete Book of Dodge and Plymouth Muscle Cars. Ron continues the hour talking about what an OBD2 monitor is; how to complete them, what they mean as a diagnostic tool and in general their purpose in todays vehicle. His last caller is from CT; Brendan is experiencing a clunk from the front of his 07 Toyota Corolla; Ron helps us understand how to "take" the car apart mentally and figuratively to diagnose the problem to avoid just replacing parts.
