In this video I have a look at a Hyundai Elantra that came in with a "idle problem." The engine light was on with several codes pertaining to the Idle Air Control Valve and also had a code for a large EVAP leak. Let's have a look see. -Enjoy!

    Cycling the IAC with your scan tool when it was off the engine would've been a good check. Maybe the IAC was gunked up and just needed cleaning. Did the junkyard IAC get cleaned before installation?

    where is the idle air control valve…you showed it in your hand but not in the engine…needing to replace mine and dont know how

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 6atlantis says:

    My 2012 Sonata is now idling around 500rpm after changing spark plugs opposed to the 700-750rpm before I changed them, I didn’t touch anything else, all wires and coils put back correctly. I don’t “feel” any misfires and I haven’t gotten any codes in the month since I did the plugs. Is there an idle relearn I need to do or did I fudge something up doing the plugs? Or is it actually just running better?

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Danny Palmer says:

    Your hat looks like mine! Lol

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Paublus Americanus AMERICANUS says:

    I beg to differ with you on the car chase. No, all was not good. A lot of people suffered damage. Of course in your Communist state where vehicles are rapidly trashed you see no harm in cars getting run over because Communism skews your thinking so radically that destroying someone's property means nothing, like any Good Communist state believes, that it belongs to the state and YOU HAVE NOTHING. That my friend is how Communism works.

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Donnie Robertson says:

    Great job and video like always

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Blackie Chong says:

    I believe this mechanic does lot of hillbilly rigging on vehicles then what he shows on youTube. Also just throws parts at it to try and fix it.

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert Gary says:

    Crazy all the wheel bearings. Here in California it’s very rare for them to fail and I see 300k on cars.

    Looks like a nice little town. Odd American houses don’t have any fences between them, makes them look very exposed and public.

    And what’s with all the American flags everywhere?

    Well done Erie. Sam

    good move blowing the gashole.

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Wood says:

    Put some lipstick on the gas hole

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars tedjohnson64 says:

    I’m amazed you actually did the drive cycle, it takes so much time that I thought mechanics just sent the car back to the customer and told them to come back if the problem reoccurs.

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Wood says:

    Should check and see if the test lead company will donate a kit to Josh’s school.

    Worst car ive ever owned
    2012 hyundai Elantra gls touring
    2.0 that i have learned more about than most mechanics
    I paid
    Gone thru whole evap system
    Replaced everything
    Still getting code for large leak .
    Aftermarket purge valve was replaced recently
    The suspension has seen
    Money
    And now i got to check sensor connectors with ohm meter
    The radio turns on and off
    I just cant keep up with Christines Daughter
    But im just gonna keep plugging away
    Maybe one day

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hola! Me Omy says:

    I had the Kia version purge valve

    Light snow in the background…… my wet dream of a neighborhood to live in.

  50. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars RJB says:

    I had an '84 Camaro V8 4 Brl that would hold the throttle when I took my foot off the accelerator I had to put the clutch in, coast to a stop and turn the engine off..Talk about scary. Back and forth to multiple dealers, multiple times, plus a new catalytic converter, with no satisfaction. I found out from a friend, after I sold the car to a used car dealership, that the problem was from a bad mass air censer. Friends daughter had the same problem and her dealer found the problem.
    What a lemon. I won't mention the clutch pin breaking 5 times. Chevrolet could care less when I complained. I'll never own another Chevy.
