Hyundai Elantra: Idle Too low / To High
Вставка
- Опубліковано 16 вер 2024
- 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!

Unbelievable performance. Working all day, multiple test drives, used parts, Running the drive cycles, Scope diagnostics, a fantastic attitude, and the patients to teach us all you skills, Drop the mic, I rest my case...
And that's why people keep coming back...the quality of the work being done.
Thanks for the video.
I had a guy in my neighbourhood who had an Accent..never could understand him.
If you speak louder to them, it seems to help (or may alleviate some of the frustration).
Now that there’s funny.
Sonata bit of effort from you to understand to the guy?
vwwrenchie or slower with your hands involved 😂🤣
Nice to see you work on a Hyundai Elantra just like mine . My has 172k on it, in 26k miles I just had to change o2 senser and brakes.
This is the only youtube channel that I thumbs up before I click play. Thanks Dr. O for sharing your knowledge and insight with us.
I do too. Best youtube channel on the planet!
Paul (in MA)
Me to
I do the same thing.
Tuning to the South main Auto channel in hearing Eric welcome me... like an old friend.
Hey Eric, glad I took your advice on visual inspections are important. I just fixed a low voltage code on a freightliner dump truck. Pulled codes and upon mu inspection I found the connector partially undone. Well I started to laugh and I pulled the accelerator pedal off and lone behold one pin was slightly bent. So I used a small pick to straighten the pin out. Reattach the connector and Bam we now have inactive codes for low voltage. Meaning inactive is when you cycle the key to off and then on
The ecm does a self test and it passed. So trucks back in service check engine light is off and truck runs great. So I will watch this video when I go on break at work. Thank you again for your video's and teaching. Mrs.Os kitchen looks awesome. And remember if I can do it, you can do it. Ttyl
Good find. You really got to be careful when straightening those pins. They will easily snap in half if to agressive.
@@stevegriffith7236 yes sir.
Thank you
I love touring around Avoca on your test drives. It looks like a great area. I love all the old houses. They have loads of character.
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.
Really admire both your diagnostic skills and repair abilities!
Alot of repetition helps with the scan tools not just a code reader!
And his wife that makes him lunch everyday.
ERIC,ABSOLUTELY KNOWS WHAT HE'S TALKING ABOUT.100%
100%, 50% of the time, like all the rest of us ;)
seems like something he'd say
Eric, I just want to say that all your videos are great and you do awesome work. I remember you posting a while back that you were in a slump and struggling to find the willpower to make new videos. Well, for what it’s worth, you’re back killing it. It always makes my day when you upload a new video. I look forward to watching every one! Shout out from Kansas!
There are thousands of us, from around the world, who agree completely with the above sentiment.
@@spelunkerd I agree completely with you about the comment above.
I enjoy watching South Main auto not a sponsor.
Wow, you are a video producing mad man this week. Thank you.
YES, I'M SURPRISED BUT ALO HAPPY.
That chase must have been scary, especially for a small town. Glad that no one else was hurt.
I am really enjoying these longer videos from start to end!
I would like you to know that no matter what you are working on, I find it very interesting. Your troubleshooting skills are great. It is good to watch someone who cares about his job and customers as you do. Thanks, and keep the good work up!!!
Eric, Eric, he's our man if he can't fix it no one can.
SMA will receive You Tuber calls on the sixth (6th) Tuesday of every month, between the hours of 23:59 to 00:05 Eastern time.
Hope this helps 😀.
Great diagnosis as per normal Dr O.
Thanks for sharing.
The videos of electronic troubleshooting analysis are great to watch. Watching your commlogical approach to these is great to learn
love how you take pride in your work
Watch the South Main Auto Channel next week when Eric O. gets to work on a BMW with a "slight front end noise".
Used to work for a car rental in the late 90's and the Elantra was by far one of my favorite vehicles, very comfortable for what it was and would not mind finding me one as a 2nd car.... this is coming from a guy that buys "Chevroleeeeyyyys" and Fords on a normal basis (mostly V8's)
You are the best at what you do Eric. I have learned a ton from you even though I only love cars and not smart enough to fix most of what goes wrong with them by myself!! I assume most of your viewers are other mechanics or serious DIYers just know that there are those of us out here who love your channel and are truly novice amateurs.....
I'm not a serious DIY guy but ya can start easy. In my order of increasing difficulty and $500 worth of tools; Air filter, Oil change, fuel filters, spark plugs, brake pads, discs, ball joints, bushings, cv joints, shocks. That's most of yer basic maintenance and no more complicated than a bicycle, more arm required is all.
I love your videos! Thank you for the extended drive to show what the BMW did...wow and crazy!
The reality of owning your own business is an understatement.
Sometimes you have to remind yourself that you own it and it does not own you. At least you don't have to pay yourself overtime.
@@spaceinvadertoo Its a fine line. I shut down, or sold more businesses than I care to mention for this very reason and I am still uncertain if I ever once made the right decision. I trust my gut on these things 100% (especially now) and I just have to live with my decisions. YMMV. Sometimes that sucks for various reasons. There are two ways of being in business and it took me a while to sort it out. But #1, You create a business as a job for yourself and since we are on a mechanic's channel, that fits with the YT community. #2. You create a business and fuck off from it and have nothing to do with it except for checking in on it some time down the road. That is a whole other level of business. Sometimes this sucks because the people running said business will come to hate you for not being very present in said business. Be careful who you leave in charge of said business because if you are sloppy in this regard you could have put your wife in charge and they could become a problem later on. (Sage Advice.) Crossing that particular Rubicon means you understand point #1 and succeeded enough in point #1. that you no longer have to care about point #1. Because if you get past point #1. you have enough money to no longer care about your business that you created. If you lose a business that you have very little involvement in, you wont care if your finances are in order. Assuming you did not put your wife or best friend in charge of said business. You wont get this outlook on YT if only rarely.
The very feed we are on is a perfect example of a great mechanic creating a perfected business for himself as a Job. He is a great mechanic. Everyone agrees and even his wife is great in the situation at hand and runs the back/front end of the business and I complement her for cooking and managing the 3 kids and all those things. She is probably doing more work than he is actually if my experience could be used to measure things. Its a perfected bubble in that sense. But all he has at the end of the day is a Job. I am ok with that. If a person is OK in said perfected Job Bubble, that is OK and I rather like that. I have been there and its comfy assuming everything is happy. Pro Tip: Never put a friend in charge of your business with your wife. or vice versa.
Better yet, dont put your wife in charge of any businesses you create ever. Just let her answer phones and feed the kids in your presence. Nothing more. Thank me later.
My wife never cheated for the record. We are all good. But the things you learn in business are so important if you are an entrepreneur, or otherwise working along side of your significant other. Let her impress you, but never give her the keys to the Kingdom. I cant stress that point enough.
Evidently us you tubers haven’t done our job telling other you tubers to QUIT CALLING ERIC WHILE HES WORKING!!!
Good diagnosis Eric that idle control motor was stuck. Replacing it was the fix. Saved the guy a few bucks by putting a good used one in. I’m sure the guy was happy.
Yet another great video Mr O. I loved that car chase sequence, expertly built up the tension there buddy.
I was on the edge of my seat - nearly crashed my dinner..!
Nothing better than watching a new SMA video, looking at the snow while wearing shorts and a t-shirt here in Florida.
Wire brushes do spark! You’re alive because the grace of God! Use brass brushes or sand by hand when cleaning gas tank necks! Love your work!
Great video Eric! You are so thorough, wished I could take my vehicle next check up to your shop, but you are too far from us here on the west coast. Keep up the good job at creating videos that help us to understand what you are doing to fix these things.
I live in Georgia lol
I'd of caught that rag in the first three seconds with the wire wheel. :)
No doubt, i was wondering what kind of person can get away with a fix like that with out sucking up the rag like a rag doll, and then i thought Erick probable knew this and put a piece of card board in place of the rag and latter watched to see how many commented !
Lots of very cool old houses in your town
Comedic value on top of all the helpful knowledge is on point!
Hey Eric it's Eric the Hyundai mechanic, I really enjoy watching your diag on Hyundai's. I like to compare what would I do vs how you're diagonals strategies.
that is cool
Username does not check out
Well done cleaning the customer's gas hole. Love the vids, always great to see your diag process to help the rest of us hopefully fix our heaps of rust.
spoiling us in 2020 with all these videos!
Toyota also publishes some waveforms with scope settings. You have to dig for them in the section on diagnostic codes. Really helps diagnose them since the computer controls everything...
Hey Wes. I just wanted to say I’ve been enjoying watching your back catalog lately. I highly recommend SMA viewers head over to your channel. So much good stuff: electronical magic pixie diags, old equipment rescues, rusty/crusty repairs, ohh yeah!
You have wonderful houses in your town. I love those elaborate porches. They don't build them like that anymore.
machintelligence Upstate NY is beautiful
the problem with new york is its in new york. its a lovely state otherwise...
Not a brick to be seen. Being a NE PA boy by birth I know that the brick salesman didn't make much money.
I'm guessing you all seen that enclosed staircase/porch thing after the carnage scene? how weird
@@MXSLICK Yeah but the more I think about it, it's not a bad idea. At least it's not covered in ice & snow. Looks like it exceeds the max length without a landing in my area now though.
I sure like seeing you do things the right way and not the wrong way like so many others do on UA-cam, GoodUp, Liked
Well, it's a good thing he checked the fuel cap for you.
aka, the fuel cap warning light system.
He may have gotten that advice from an autozone or advance auto clerk.....O2 sensors and fuel caps
I love when you drive around your town, it looks just like where I live in Upstate New York!
I appreciate and (iam sure your other viewers also appreciate) all the info you put out for us.
Those Hyundy guys know hor to inform mechanics with detailed "known good" graphs. Thumbs up.
If I ever find myself in Avoca, I'll know my way around town thanks to your test drive videos!
Nothing like a SMA video to relax too instead of the political hoopla and breaking news. I come here for comfort as well as to learn. A daily prescription of Eric O!
Hey I’m on a heavy duty diesel side of things. You asked what we do to verify repairs and most of the time it is exhaust after treatment repairs so normally we run a Regen or SCR efficiency test and monitor the parameters depending on the repair and it is almost always an accurate way to tell if we fixed the issue or not
I like how you test that your tools are working before using them for diagnostics. I’ve been down a few rabbit holes due to malfunctioning test tools and now I always test things before using them.
Very interesting strategy that the evap finished before the 02. I usually only see the evap set last. Thanks for sharing.
Great job Eric! Sounded funky at the beginning and smooth after your magic.
Man! 338 5 Star reviews on the googler! That's amazing Eric - Keep up the good work man. (I was checking how far it was to have you do some work to my car!)
Your welcome for watching.
Little disappointed, lady never found her problem... I love when you show the lady where her problem is.
Great vid and diagnostics. Love to hear what small towns have for excitement too! Thanks!
@southmainautorrpairllc the shop phone number was prominently displayed when you were diagnosing this vehicle....I cannot understand why people can't respect you while you're at work...but people are people...great job as always keep yo the good work!
love your way of getting results very informative thank you
Eric, per your recommendation. I checked out scanner Dan's channel. All I can say is I can sit here and watch you for hours and even at my age I can learn something new. But watching Sanner Dan will put you to sleep😴. Even tho he is very knowledgeable. At least you and the crew are so entertaining. If you would have been my teacher in school I may have Graduated😁
Enjoy riding around in your neighborhood and seeing those wonderful old houses.
Wow, Avoca has some really big houses, I love that large brick one.
Why the hostility? Calling that poor little car a pig. They can hear you, you know. (Great video! 👍)
*My new favorite auto repair channel!*
How many shops would make the effort to get you a salvage yard part to keep the cost down... probably none.
Pull it themselves...few. Buy a used part from a commercial salvage, many.
Around here only a couple of the very small shops would pull a part themselves (or they have a kid that pulls common parts and they shelve them). They cater to the aging GM W-bodies and A-bodies, Panthers, etc that are the mainstay of the poor neighborhoods adjacent Chicago. These cars are held together by hopes and dreams and the tenacity of mechanics that live hand to mouth in a one or two stall garage with all other business long since boarded up around them.
Really like your 'live', unedited videos Eric! Great choice to ease your burden on making these for our benefit!
" LIVE PD" !!!!! Eric love these drive arounds, seeing your town,
Whoa! Excitement in the village!
It depends on the car and the problem as to whether I a going to do a full drive cycle. In that case it was probably worth doing it at least long enough to get the EVAP monitor to run to make sure you had it. Also a lot of the cars I work on have Check Engine lights for things the customer doesn't want to fix since we don't have inspections.
Love your process dude I've adapted a lot of your tips into my own diagnostics . Your videos are always entertaining keep up the great work dude your the kind of tech our trade needs more of
i just came here to say that my buddy got me the SMA hoodie for Christmas and its the most comfortable damn hoodie ive ever owned.
Hi Eric, I recently found your channel and I really enjoy your videos! I've never worked on my cars, but I like to learn and I appreciate the way you explain things. Greetings from New Jersey!
Once u go Eric O u dont go back lol
LOL
Carl, I like the way you talk. I like the way you talk too. Uh huh!
Good one Eric O. Go home and get some rest. ❤️
I had this problem about 2 years ago on my Citreon Xsara Piccasso . i used some carb spray on the valve and it lasted to about 3 weeks till I replaced the whole ICV which cost me about £15 ($20) on ebay
Loved the drive through town.
My '89 Jeep had similar problems. Sticking idle air solenoid was the cause. I cleaned it and it worked for another year and then the problem returned. I recently replaced it. The problem was intermittent.
"The days of throttle cables are long gone".... Friggin terrifying!
Amen, brother! The thought that we have control of our cars is now an illusion... Your right foot moves a resistor, and the computer decides how much you get...Collision "avoidance" (causing?) systems!?...and the list goes on...Car, can you pleeaassee just let me do the driving today!? :-(
Awesome job Ms Marie. Hope she had a fun day at the ol pick a wreck
Haha... you got out and did exactly what I would've done. Give it a few smacks, to start.
Loved the car chase story... would've been neat to see... lol popcorn in hand. Or ice cream even better!
My sister lives close by and got to watch it. Guess it was pretty cool lol. Like 2 in the morning or something like that. They just got rid of the vehicles today as a matter of fact
South Main Auto Repair LLC I was surprised they left them there that long. That happens too much where I live. People are NUTS
you guys have small town village police or is it a sheriff's office..or state police?
MXSLICK most likely state police. In the upstate area of New York they have town police but usually state police will do the chase.
Never fun to see. It happened to us!
I typically do a drive cycle after a repair, it usually doesn't take all the OEM steps, I think that's just a guarantee to run everything type thing, at least at Honda. Cool channel man, keep it up!
Your Patience is incredible! Love your videos
My gas hole leaks sometimes too but a little Quilted Northern helps keep the crusties to a minimum.
Use lube and wipe properly
Cool fix. We used to do the same thing with emissions... It got to the point that local law enforcement would see you driving a car with no sticker they would wave you off they knew you were working on it. Spent a lot of time on the road....
Love these videos, keep em coming !! None better.
My 2009 Accent had a lumpy idle on start up out of nowhere. Pulled off the IAC and the "blade" was sticking on the buildup in the thing and was getting randomly stuck. A quick cleaning and it's been fine since. These engines get dirty real fast and need a regular cleaning of the IAC and the throttle body. But you can't beat the simplicity of the 1.6 and 2.0l in those years.
I just had a citroen C4 with 31 codes in it, all I had to change was the front left ABS sensor to fix it, sometimes diagnostic tool make you search for problems where there aren't any
About the OBD 2 monitors I work on European cars and I know that on VW you can run the monitors with the car stationary I don't know how many manufacture you can do that but it nice when you just worked on a EVAP system and want to confirm a fix but I notice also that on some model you can go and do one from a list of monitors but on some other you have to run the test form start to finish but if a particular monitor that interest me has run and there is remaining to be done I will cancel the test if I dont't have time to do all of them.
Very thorough checks, seems very happy now :-D
My frend has a small hyundai car, very reliable.
o yea? how many kilometers. i dont like hyundai because they arent fair trade. they have no factories in a lot of the countries they sell to.
R. L., Hyundai and Kia both have plants in the US. The Elantras sold in the US are usually made in the US. Anyway, it's funny you consider it good to have a plant where they sell the cars, because a lot of people think working for a foreign auto maker is a worthless job because it sends all the money back to the home country. It's not a 'real' job. I disagree.
A little off topic, but you should do a video were you go over advice for the young guys wanting to get into auto repair. Schooling, tools, certification like ASE, etc.
Awesome as always, Eric. How did you get through lunch without Mrs. O? 😁
Hungry
@@capnskiddies lol
I did my drive cycle on my Chevy on jack stands and the e brake on and strapped the rear to my GMC Sonoma. Was done in 10 min. 👍👍👍
you're working outside in a hoodie, dude ? up here in northern Alberta, the HIGH temp for thursday is supposed to be minus 28 degrees CELSIUS! (january 9 2020). Man ! enjoy that hoodie weather while you can ! love your vids !
I was about ready to call SMA and say hi to Eric. Then I viewed this video.
SMA knocking out the vidjayoh's.
Every time I bring my car to my mechanic it runs perfectly LOL.
Well done Erie. Sam
Nice fix, monitors all set (gotta check the ones on my 06 Frontier, its due smog test before the end of Feb 2020). You are so thorough!
Funny, I know some apartment-big city dwellers that are convinced the only function of the "check engine light" is to alert you of a possible bad gas cap, they even call it "the gas cap light" and choose to just keep driving and ignore it.
My wife and kids are watching a Harry Potter movie. This video saved me! I owe ya Eric!
Expectoooputronummm!! 🧙♂️🔮
Wow excitinement in the neighborhood wow thanks Eric. Your the Master Problem Solver!
12:30 probably him calling to check on his Elantra 😂😂
Electrical crap on cars drives me nuts if I lived a little closer I’d have you work on my crap 👍
So if it was a carbureted vehicle, no codes, and turn idle screw 1/4 turn.
Sure, every few months. Clogged carb jets, ethanol fuel problems, no adaptation to temp or elevation. I love carburetors but they have their place.
@@WhiskeyTango68 not to mention air leaking through worn throttle plate shaft bushing. Grrrrr.
I did that with Falcon with Multi point FI, stopped it stalling when braking in reverse, but probably hiding the problem.
Here in Southern California, it can be tricky to perform the drive cycle test. I usually go out on the local roads and freeways about 6:00 AM on Saturday or Sunday morning. Then I can do the slow driving and long 55 MPH drives without being in anyone's way. I follow the procedures I find on the Internet for various makes and find that all monitors pass within about 30 minutes.
great video you treat customer cars with such care as if they are your own. strange no water temp gauge.
