    Ray, have you ever considered using walnut shell blasting with a vacuum hose attached for medium removal like they use on Toyotas and Mercedes Benz vehicles?. Worth looking into it. Cheers You channel is AWESOME!

  2. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars CashewBaby says:

    Dropped in with no gas 🙂 gotta love it.

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

    I am surprised that a 5 year old engine needs such work, including the replacement of the manifold. After watching you and Wes and Eric O, I wonder what vehicles have the least high maintenance requirements. Thus far, my 08 E150 Ford van and my 15 Jeep Renegade have not required much work except for a fried starter on the Jeep 3 years back. I enjoy all your videos. Be safe.

  4. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars weeruz says:

    As an aspiring mechanic that feels like he found his perfect job type I can ensure you that this is not boring at all. I have seen a lot of your videos now and I'm ahead in class and I feel like I can thank you for a big part of that. Than you for your videos!

  5. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars wincel tomlinson says:

    Hey Ray try this trick out grab a paper towel and shove it in a socket with a bolt then tear the paper towel and the bolt should stay in the socket give it a try

    This one time at band clamp…

  7. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Brave Supremacy says:

    Love the videos, sort of stuck on an issue iam working on a 05 mustang v6 the current problem is that the car shifts are rough and the overdrive button flashes thought you could help thanks have a blessed day

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

    Great work Ray

  9. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ed Chenal says:

    Lots of Techron……….. Hyundai is pronounced Hunday. Just so you know.

  10. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars John Townsend says:

    No did not click off, why did the carbon build up so much on this car?

  11. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Cherokee2005 says:

    If we had more thorough and honest mechanics like you there would be no concern if the customer is being scammed or taken advantage of.

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

    Electronic intake runners are a pain But hey they give us more work to feed our family's right @Rainman Ray's Repairs

  13. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mr. MAR says:

    Engine GDI need catch can

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

    Yep avoid opening Cooling system is always a must there is always a mess or loss of coolant somewhere most likely on US is were the coolant goes lol @Rainman Ray's Repairs

  15. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Les Reeves says:

    Lucky it was not one of the catch on fire models .LOL

  16. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars G Crauwels says:

    I want to open that plenum up to see what went wrong in there.

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

    How much do the battery powered ratchets cost ? I've been thinking about getting some. I've just started working on cars again after recovering from a recent surgery

  18. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars no worries mate says:

    Thought they came with a 10 year 100,000 mile warranty?

  19. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bill Smith says:

    Sorry to tell you the bad news, but you will DEFINITELY get this car back in the future. It will have the ' famous ' Hyundai/Kia Theta Engine bottom end knock which will require a new short block or remanufactured engine !!! That is if it doesn't catch on fire first !!! 😆😆😁 TOTAL PIECE OF 💩

  20. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jonathan Byrd says:

    200000 miles on my GDI Accent, seafoam in the intake every 10k keeps this problem away.

  21. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars J.FINESSE FLIGHTS says:

    I love/hate direct injection 💉 for this reason!

  22. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Hola! IntraTerrestrial says:

    So you have to remove the intake manifold to replace the starter on that thing? Correct me if I'm wrong please, but that just dont make any sense.

  23. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ben Smith says:

    Doo Dee Dooooo 🎶🎶🎵🎵

  24. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bill Link says:

    With all the carbon build-up, the throttle body looked very clean.

  25. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Butch Romig says:

    Ray why is it that a GDI engine fouls the intake valves , but a diesel engine does not????????????

  26. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Robert S. says:

    LOL….you're gonna have to replace the engine now that it has the ability to generate enough power to blow itself up.

    In all seriousness, didn't seem like an overly complicated repair, which I'm sure you appreciated. On to the next one!

  27. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Anthony Bellard says:

    Great job bud

  28. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bill Link says:

    How could this have been prevented?

  29. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Donald Rak says:

    What piece crap 2017 2 .4 sonata Omg my 2010 Sonata burn rubber off front tires on take off goes s to show you 2017 is (Junk.).

  30. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars sammy566 says:

    How can anyone forget that steering wheel!

  31. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Springs says:

    Nothing quite like the satisfaction when you step on the accelerator and find that it actually goes. Score one for the good guys.

  32. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars scanner lanier says:

    Thanks again Ray. The tank out of gas reminds me when I fix printers that are out of paper and when I ask for additional paper, I am given 5 sheets. What is wrong with some people?

  33. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Alan Burgess says:

    The question is why would a 5 year old car have that much carbon buildup? 🤔

  34. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars tom fontaine says:

    I own a Hyundai Santa Fe, 231000 miles, and have had no problems with it except, plugs, coils, fuel level sender, fuel pump later, brakes all the way around and back,alternader , and until I learned from you an emission code, I then took your advice and quit over the filling tank, and nada light. Thanks again Ray for an entertaining informative video, looking forward to more.

  35. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Colin Campbell says:

    This dude is blessed with socket gravity, I swear every time I drop something it’s unreachable without having to remove something that’s completely unrelated to the job.

  36. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Gary Archer says:

    enjoyed the video Ray, wish you would have shown how you were testing that knock sensor. I think you should make another section to your channel where you show off more of your diagnostic methods and techniques.

  37. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Just Call Me Boats says:

    Another great video!! Ray, Is this a common problem with this particular engine? Or , is it just using poor quality fuel to blame? I have never seen an engine with that much carbon buildup inside an intake manifold or cylinder head. So, in your opinion, what could cause carbon to build to this level?

  38. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars joshua Welch says:

    did a carbon clean on my A4 2.0 with cleaner and wire brushes and picks, wish i would of got the walnut blast kit, gets so much better results, great videos .!!

  39. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars leonardc22 says:

    Good video, nasty looking steering wheel 😆

  40. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars NDIrishfan71 says:

    Think I will stick with Hondas and Toyotas. I am allergic to Hyundai and Kia! Great video by the way:P People think they are saving money buying Kia and Hyundai, but by the time everything is said in done they spent more long term than they would have had they baught a Honda or Toyota. They might be a little higher, but in the long run you have less headache and spend less in the long term.

  41. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Runn__Jake says:

    The carbon build up for a 2017 car makes me think the injectors are spraying too rich, wonder if hyundai provides a recall/free repair via some engine and fuel remapping

  42. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Steve Legion says:

    Oh wow. That’s the nasty car with layers of dirt. Crazy

  43. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars av8ndoc says:

    Hey Ray, there was this one time, at “band clamp” ….. 😂🔧🔨

  44. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars L G says:

    This is why I ditched my Sonata for a port injected Corolla with no trace of GDI

  45. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars mr hamburger says:

    Those cars are little liberal s*** buggies

  46. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Ferguson says:

    I didn’t realize H.G. W𝗲𝗹𝗹𝘀 was involved in your repair business.

  47. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Wilson says:

    I had to clean my 08 Mini do to excessive carbon but Mini recommends Walnut blasting. Since it's like a $2000 dollar service charge I bought the media and a blaster from Harbor Freight and did it myself for a couple hundred. Was easy.

  48. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars VGAPR Garage says:

    I believe the knock sensor is a recall or reprogram

  49. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Spartan117 says:

    I have a 2017 Hyundai Sonata with over 130k miles. The only problems I had so far was the electric steering kept locking up and the trunk latch would latch.

  50. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Spartan0536 says:

    I just figured it out, I know you are based out of Florida as you have stated that before, but I know the exact roads you are driving on, you are a local to me (I have lived in the area my whole life). Might stop by and have you do a Post Purchase Inspection on a vehicle I am thinking of buying. No its not from a buy here pay here, its from a traditional stealership that I am in heavy negotiations with.

  51. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tanner Barkley says:

    I put 2 engines in kias this week 🤦‍♂️

  52. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars WayneS World says:

    On the intake runner control if the electric solenoid coil functions and the vacuum valve receives and sends vacuum where it supposed to, i found that using an intake valve cleaner sprayed into a vacuum hose Upstream of the intake manifold per the cleaners instruction can free up the butterfly. I am in Phoenix and the plastic was not warped rather it had carbon on it. I used CRC intake valve cleaner for GDI engines and saved the $500 part and the additional $500 of labor and it has worked for eight months now.

  53. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars W B says:

    I had a Chevy Lemona that had the same symptoms and the catalyzer was clogged.

  54. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars pcs0snq says:

    What a crappy design 😢

  55. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars James Nasto says:

    What idiot customer brings in a car with a fuel tank that’s bone dry.

  56. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Frank CRENSHAW says:

    Eric for pres Ray Vp

  57. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Kuschka says:

    The CRC intake valve cleaner is fantastic. Flood the ports. Let it sit for 30-60min. The carob melts off or is brushed off. I love this cleaner.

  58. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Peter deWolf says:

    That's what happens when you never "feed her the onions!", as Derek, at vicegrip garage, would say.

  59. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Keith Graham says:

    Ray could u do a top engine clean like snap on use to sale to clean the butterfly s do u think that might start it back to working

  60. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jonathan A says:

    Ew, people need to clean their vehicles more often. I also believe that all automakers, if they're going to use GDI, use multi-port injection with it also. I know Toyota does, so carbon won't build up on the valves.

  61. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Stoliker says:

    God! Clean that damn steering wheel! I wouldn't even drive that damn thing.

  62. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Tex Arkana says:

    Hey Ray, what's the best/most reliable Hyundai engine since 2015?

  63. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Kentucky Ranger says:

    I remember this car!
    Who could forget that steering wheel, UGH! 😂😂

  64. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Chris Parkinson Schultz says:

    I use the dremel with scotch buff wheels and throttle body cleaner

  65. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Bub61 says:

    Ray- when you get to 70 you’ll understand boreing- great video for a Boreing 70 year old/ thanks

  66. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars David Corni says:

    You got it, Hyundai rhymes with Sunday!

  67. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Peter Benson says:

    Was the intake not worth cleaning? Or did I miss something?

  68. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars DivideBy Zero says:

    Looks like job for Seafoam. I've used a couple of bottles on a used N54 BMW (DI twin turbo) that I bought and it completely cleaned up all carbon from the intake valves, so I now use it every 15,000 miles on all my vehicles to keep them clean and running well – without ever touching my socket set. I Can't recommend this product enough.

  69. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars C4RN1 says:

    Was I the only one yelling "Ray the starter…." No?

    I'm glad he took the time to clean the carbon deposits (I have to do it in my 220K mile Sonata). I wish he would have checked operation of the pcv valve, it's a cheap part that usually needs to be replaced.

  70. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ronnie K says:

    Just curious. But have you ever forgot to something during the put back together? There is always so much to put back.

  71. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars 69sins says:

    i feel like every hyundai i see has the low gas light on.

  72. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars julesdon5 says:

    Don't loose that ….oops did make me laugh but you kept hold another great vid cheers Ray. And you got the yellow marks to match up to great install

  73. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Sunset Originals says:

    SONATA GOOD CAR! 😂😂

  74. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Frodo says:

    This would have been the perfect candidate for a walnut blast, or Seafoam soaking at the very minimum

  75. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Darren says:

    Wow! Nice editing! What you do is NOT BORING WE WANT ALL YOUR SO-CALLED BORING CONTENT!

  76. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Really BadAim says:

    Perfect first car for your high school kid.

  77. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars bonza167 says:

    using music with a good tempo in the fast forward bits was a nice. too many videos by others use head banging distorted crap that's annoying

  78. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Malaki Thefolf says:

    bugs me there was a small hose clamp not clamped on the air intake hose by the airbox
    but i always enjoy your videos nice work.

  79. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Leo L says:

    How annoying is it when the car is dropped off with no gas?

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

    I've noticed that many steering wheels of your incoming cars are super nasty looking. I don't work on cars, but I've not seen groaty steering wheels on any cars I've been in or driven here in the Frozen North (Chicago) I've seen some very high mileage rides up here – 1987 Camry with 250k for example – the old cars are clapped out but the steering wheels don't look like those I see in your videos. What causes this Southern steering wheel rot syndrome? Is it from an accumulation of coconut-smelling sunblock that gets smeared on the wheel from Floridian hands?

  81. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Mike Patterson says:

    Thanks for the video, always enjoy watching!

  82. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Noonehere says:

    Why would you take your car in for service with the low fuel light on? I’ll bet with all that carbon they buy the very cheapest gas they can every tome they buy their $5.00 worth.

  83. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Parlapiano says:

    I’m curious. Hyundai has a 10y, 100k drivetrain warranty. And if you get the update on the engine recall for the knock sensor, it increases to lifetime. So why isn’t the knock sensor and intake issue covered under warranty?

  84. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Michael Oleksy says:

    Another great troubleshooting episode.
    Keep up the great work 👍

  85. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Ju M says:

    I saw the cleaning of the valves, but what was the reason to replace the intake manifold? We had a Hyundai GDI engine go out on us while on the freeway… could feel it failing fast (rod knock), and it was covered under a recall. But wonder about the GDI's on this engine…. is it a common issue?

  86. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars A.J. says:

    Aren't EGR's wonderfull? 👎

  87. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Moefuggerr says:

    Must a direct injection only motor. I like ones that have manifold injection also. Mine has both. Keeps them valves clean.

  88. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jeremy Machacek says:

    I bet there was a knock sensor range performance DTC. That will set the flashing check engine light and the misfire codes. replacing the intake and vcm is only going to prolong the inevitable. there is a software update that goes along with the knock sensor, but odds are its going to need an engine sooner than later because the rod bearings are smoked. just some friendly advice.

  89. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Jesse Greathouse says:

    Gross car, inside and out.

  93. Avataaar/Circle Created with python_avatars Aigor U says:

    Thank you very very much to all automotive engineers out there, 'cause every mechanic enjoys going through all that plumbing and connector stuff just to get a car with an attitude afterwards. You guys really make our freaking days shinier.
