#2677: Stumps and Chumps
Summary
Click and Clack celebrate New York’s new handheld cell phone ban while discussing the limitations of hands-free devices. They diagnose a 1990 Plymouth Grand Voyager overheating issue, likely caused by a faulty thermostat, and advise a listener on maintaining a high-mileage Audi 80. The hosts also troubleshoot a 1994 Mitsubishi 3000 with hot-soak ignition problems and a 1990 Audi Quattro that stalls when cold, suggesting a coolant sensor or injector issue. The episode concludes with a probability-based puzzler about disease testing accuracy.
