    That's not the engine light it's the money light ! Per Mr. O lol

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Taylor Fenoglio says:

    I'm curious on what percent of vehicles come in under 100k miles with machanical issues vs cars over 100k miles

  3. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Carl Otto says:

    Damn. Nice work Ray.

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars s snerd says:

    Ray…I gotta say…..I wish I was 1/2 the mechanic you are…..

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hola! LkOutMtnMan says:

    It's not a Kia, it's a Aki –as in Aki Breaky Heart or should I say Aki breaky billfold! lol

  6. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 720 Vending says:

    love the video awesome to see a car i own on the channel i have an 08 sportage with the same motor just replaced the exhaust flex pipe to seal the pipes back up

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Anthony H says:

    Good find. Great video brother.

  8. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rob Peabo says:

    Good pickup on the cracked ISCA housing. It almost looks like someone tried to take it off without unscrewing it. I can't see any other way it would have cracked without actually having removed it & trying to destroy it out of the vehicle.

    This Kia is probably the first car's engine cover I have seen that only shows four intake runners in the moulding when it is a V6 with 6 intake runners which are clearly visible with the cover off. Good one Kia!

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Vincent Robinette says:

    The first thing I thought when I saw the fuel trim, which is differences between injection volume from cylinder to cylinder, as well as overall lean, (all injectors trying to add more fuel) I though "Vacuum leak"! I was expecting something like a blown diaphragm in the vacuum brake booster, or more simply, a split, cracked, or unconnected vacuum line. I would NEVER have suspected a broken air idle speed control valve. I have never seen that before. I wonder what would have broken that, since it is merely an air valve with only an electronic connection. Nothing that could have put stress on the housing of the AISC.

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Devs Klaus says:

    Can someone tell me what scanner he has?

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars jtoddk98 says:

    A 2006 Kia with 45k miles??? Gotta love the old lady special

  12. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Martin Burns says:

    Any orifice of your choice. Beep beep. Great timing lol. Great video Ray.

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bradford says:

    Tus videos son siempre los mejores, siempre recibo notificaciones cada vez que subes un video, por cierto, gracias por recomendarme a Waylon Emmett, el experto en criptografía, realmente ha cambiado mi vida, estoy agradecido*

  14. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Harry Tongelidis says:

    Backfire probably broken the old one, too many cracks for it to be caused by stress.

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Simmons says:

    So you can do a Homer Simpson.the episode we're he said if I want smoke blown up my ass I would sit home with a small length of tube and a pack of cigarettes 🤣😂🤣sorry it's late

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Andy Peek says:

    I have always suspected that automotive engineering involved smoke, mirrors and electronic wizardry, now I know its true.
    Thanks Ray, this proves my theory.
    Good onya mate.

  17. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Johnston says:

    You just reminded me of my neighbor's old jeep. It had an intake manifold gasket leak. You could hear that whistle a block away.

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars DaveChad1063 says:

    nice

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Pat Jago says:

    What’s the saying? Plastic makes it possible?

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars wherescorolla says:

    These things (at least the 4 cyl) are bulletproof. Had one with the 4 cyl that I sold with 240k miles a few years back and still to this day putting around town.

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Wayne says:

    Ray how about old school trick and spray brake cleaner to look for intake leaks and see if the idle changes when you spray it on different spots?

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hunter Tucker says:

    Just trying to learn here, but what made you think intake leak versus an actual lean condition? Would you expect to see misfire codes for an actual lean condition and that’s what lead you to go for intake leak?

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars SJ FK says:

    Your videos are a demonstration to get any scan tool besides snap on. It seems like it’s 5-6 years old or more. Autel and launch aren’t nearly as clumsy/clunky and are faster and easier to use.

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hank Worthington says:

    Ray I think you are a great mechanic love you videos keep them coming

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Craig W says:

    Love your vids Ray. The smart ass in me, however, would like to point out that the top sensor bolt clearly has a Phillips head slot, making the socket and space for said socket unnecessary.

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars The Flat Rock says:

    I bet blue RTV could have sealed the cracks for a time but it was severely cracked at several places. I’d only RTV it if it was my own vehicle and the part was pricey

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Antonio Claudio Michael says:

    Nice find on the rogue air leak that unit was severely cracked good video @Rainman Ray's Repairs

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars The Flat Rock says:

    I believe engine covers retain heat that degrades plastic and rubber components.

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Antonio Claudio Michael says:

    Lean would be way to much air so the ecm is leaning the fuel out I would say Vacuum leak @Rainman Ray's Repairs

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Adam Lynn says:

    Bad intake

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jimmy, Making it work says:

    Smoking is bad for you, except whendoing diags ..Then smoking is fine and sometimes even recommended.

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars chris o'keeffe says:

    Here for the dobled dos

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sean Lacroix says:

    It rides like a tank because Kia builds junk and the suspension is probably crap on that thing.

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Randall Stevenson says:

    No matter what I may drive, I will never purchase a Kia, that company is scummy.

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kevin Curry says:

    Another awesome video.

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars larrybl says:

    I would have JB Welded that crack.

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Wright says:

    As Scotty Kilmer says stupid beauty covers. lol

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Justin Turner says:

    Learn so much from you. Which helps me maintain my own vehicle. Thanks

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ran da buffer says:

    Is it ONLY Kia’s and Hyundai’s that have so many problems with low miles? Lol

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars firedchiefpaul says:

    Are all mechanics as skilled at diagnosis as you are?

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ross Flores says:

    Very common failure part on Kia and Hyundai engines I personally have replaced several dozens of those little stepper motors.

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tom Nielsen says:

    Are you sure that you are not blowing smoke up their assets…..?😃

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars G POWER DRAGON says:

    my guess on the trouble codes lean burn now meaning there's a vacuum leak possibly somewhere but I guess Scotty is right that KIA plastic junk keeps breaking in the Heat

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Steve Laminack says:

    It's amazing to me as a retired airline mechanic that until the latest generation of multi million dollar commercial aircraft there has been no centralized diagnostic system like the code scanner. It's been pretty much VOM meter, specific to system test equipment and knowledge of the particular system. And even then I'm not sure the diagnostics are on the level of this few hundred dollar scanner. We were just getting the 787 and newer 777 aircraft at the airline I worked for when I retired a few years ago.

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars E-Nonymouse says:

    This smoke maker is new, I wonder if you can inject die into it to see more clearly in UV if its leaking.

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars D Port says:

    Any machine can be a smoke machine if used INcorrectly!

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars yanni6556 says:

    That seems like a lot of wear for that low mileage

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Rob H says:

    KIA @ 50k miles = end of life

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jerry Fitzpatrick says:

    Guessing no one has checked under the hood (opened it) in a while. How long would it take to build that Dirt Dobber nest?

  50. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars BixbyConsequence says:

    Thank you for not bitching about Every Single Engine Cover you ever remove.

  51. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David D says:

    Thanks for the content Mr. Ray, no telling how that part cracked.

  52. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars William Arden jr says:

    All I can say is any kia from 11 till 16 you better jeep up with them recalls. I worked at a dealership for a little while, and when I left we had 8 thar needed new engines

  53. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bill Milosz says:

    Odd that the plastic on that actuator cracked so badly. I would not think there is enough mechanical stress on that part to cause that crack. Maybe the plastic just couldn't handle the heat.

  54. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ethan Overwatch says:

    720p?

  55. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Derpn8r says:

    2800 miles a year!?!?

  56. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Steve Pulse says:

    Beware Ray! I've seen several cases where people will be looking for this leak & spray the vis shaft which melts the seal causing a leak across the shaft setting p0171-p0172.

  57. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Stavros Lask says:

    Here in NYC all mechanics are scammers and maybe 10% speak American or understand anything about the science of cars! This same job would cost someone at least $400! Great job Ray!

  58. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Pontus Rydin says:

    You’ve given me a newfound and deep respect for automotive technicians!

  59. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jennifer Anderson-Zurell says:

    How does a 16 yo car have only 46k miles??

  60. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars bill says:

    Receiving the NEW parts is like a birthday present…

  61. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kirk Greer says:

    I am attending Rainman Rays online school of mechanikery . Carry on Earthlings.

  62. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ace2d says:

    j… b… weld

  63. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars tom ashton says:

    dirty injectors and a vacuum leaks ,go hand in hand ,fuel pressure can get messed up due to a dirty fuel filter

  64. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ESSBEE says:

    No way, I’ve got an 06 sportage 2.7 too

  65. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars S MC says:

    Drive A Chevelle

  66. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brian Beard says:

    "…the orifice of my choice." Damn… I have no comment….

  67. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars njoy livinglife says:

    Those gdi injectors ive found will tend to allow a high fuel trim when clogged causing vehicle to lean out. Luckily i caught mine before it created a bigger problem…

  68. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Thomas Straulina says:

    Looks like the owner opens the hood and checks fluids often. Not. or those dirt daubers are extremely fast

  69. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars ry an says:

    I was expecting to see the Kia splitting in half, like a Toyota Tacoma with a rotted out frame. I guess that doesn’t happen much in Florida.

  70. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars con fuse says:

    Does talking to 'us' help with the diagnostics? For example, looking at the fuel trim before the repair. (BTW, I was well aware that you've done that in the past).

  71. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars dannyoaks85 says:

    Hold the phone. 45k on a 2006 sportage is awesome, but what's really awesome is it still has a tape deck

  72. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 00 00 says:

    Kia/Hyundai money pit.

  73. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars dyrty mike says:

    enjoyed

    🙏

  74. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jay Skin says:

    Same codes in a friend's kia. Seafoam and a 2k rev for 10mins cured it. Edited part is here. I love your vids and diligence.

  75. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Petersen says:

    What fun it must be to work on clean, low-mileage cars. A 16 yr-old car with only 45K on it?!? You never see that here in Michigan. Must be a little old lady who only ever drives it to church or some such. I'm surprised the tires aren't rotting off.

  76. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tony Rice says:

    9.36 why did I not know this! I've lost so many of those clips by pulling them off to remove the plug, D'oh! Ray, you rock man

  77. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeffry Blackmon says:

    The part cracked: due to heat? If so, can we blame the engine cover for not allowing heat to dissipate?

  78. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars chris thorney says:

    i cant talk and read, yep you heard right, i cant walk and read! lmfao. installing caffeen, caffeen click

  79. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars m ck says:

    Do you think that the engine covers that deflect the heat of the engine and contribute to plastic parts deteriorating and cracking?

  80. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Alex Thomson says:

    Again a great video ray. You are indeed a master mechanic

  81. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars dbailey981 says:

    Dizzy camera work. 👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎👎

  82. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Don's Junkmail says:

    Indians use it between Casinos

  83. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Elvis Rotten says:

    scrolling, scrolling, scrolling, scanner tool is scrolling. Rawhide

  84. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Don's Junkmail says:

    The smoke machine…too funny

  85. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dave K says:

    If ya can't take the heat get the hell outta the engine bay. Bad plastics.. yikes. Stay safe and be well Ray.

  86. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars oqwazyme says:

    Can't you just put some super glue on it ??

  87. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Tone says:

    That’s the coolest tool I’ve seen him use. Us old timers would be using stater fluid and a spray nozzle to find the leak when it was running…

  88. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars mike dee says:

    nice

  89. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David McClellan says:

    Not gonna lie. Love hearing Staind in the background haha

  90. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Miller says:

    You should lock up that scan tool

  91. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jennifer Ettish says:

    Very helpful video.

  92. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars TerrybleGamer says:

    The "let's make everything from plastic" idea was a really good move (sarcastic). 45,000 miles and the engine light is already on. What a shame for modern cars. This could have simply been prevented by making it from aluminum or something stronger.

    These kinds of junk sensors are needed to ensure that as little unburnt fuel as possible is emitted at the end of the exhaust, but it just goes wrong when these manufacturers and governments do not understand that replacing such an engine every 80 -100k miles is even more damaging.

    I just don't get it.

  93. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Will says:

    It's on lean , that purple stuff it must have a cold

  94. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Downtown Indy says:

    Ray's not usually one to blow smoke up our IACS

  95. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Dain Smart says:

    I'm having a great day bro ☕🇬🇧

  96. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Kennedy says:

    🤔a KIA smoking crack, my first time to see that.

  97. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars The Arrow says:

    I like the way you treat cars……. Thanks…

  98. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tom O'Connor says:

    Everyone should smoke (using a leak tamer, of course). Nice fix, enjoyable video, lucky customer, have yourself a happy day !!
