]]> Comment on OOPS! – Take A Guess at What Caused This Car To Smoke by admin http://autorepairsalemoregon.com/straight-from-the-expert/oops-take-a-guess-at-what-caused-this-car-to-smoke/#comment-47 admin Sun, 10 Apr 2011 04:07:49 +0000 http://autorepairsalemoregon.com/?p=303#comment-47 OOPS! The Answer! Simple! It was the husbands fault!!! We discovered that the oil cap was missing! The husband had checked the oil just before the wife left on a trip down to Medford that morning and somehow got sidetracked and forgot to put the cap back! The wife in this case, drove all the way to Medford and back with the cap off and the oil was splattered all over the engine compartment! She was lucky that it did not start a fire! The engine also seems to have dodged a bullet, because it only had about a quart or so left! After refilling the engine with oil it was quiet and ran fine. We were asked not to clean up the oil mess, that someone else would take care of it! I wonder who that would be? I only hope that there is no long term damage to the engine or from the oil soaking everything! As a note I was also informed we would check the oil the next time! Hope you found this amusing and useful! Have a great tommorrow! OOPS! The Answer!

Hi everyone! Well you can quit racking your brain for we have a winner! Congrats to Dave Smith of Liberty Systems for giving the correct answer to the auto repair brainteaser! Heh Dave give the shop a call at 503-365-9702 and set up an appointment for a FREE Lube, Oil & Filter! Oh I almost forgot, the correct answer was Low Voltage! As the charger raises the voltage up enough, (and with the key in the ON position) the relays that are used to activate various circuits with the ignition switch, now turn on. The load, which is applied, is more than a 10amp charger can put out. So the voltage goes down again. When the voltage drops low enough the magnetic fields in the relays weaken and cause the relay to open the circuit and again the voltage goes up. This process repeated itself over and over again. So the battery never recharges and the computer is subjected to repeated startups with insufficient voltage and the small voltage spikes did not help either!! Have a great weekend!!! Winner!!!!

Hi Everyone, Since no one has been able to answer my auto repair brain teaser I am going to share just a little more information. The customer showed us how they had hooked up the charger and we determined that it had been connected properly! One more hint the key had been left in the ignition. Ok now that you have wrapped your brain around this new information any guesses? Harold Supplement To Learned the Hard Way.
