Air bubble in radiator hose spotted
I was able to spot an air bubble in the upper radiator hose using a low end thermal imaging device (FLIR TG165). Just a geek moment in the garage.

Rocker panel rust repair: fabricate and install patch
มุมมอง 36K3 ปีที่แล้ว
This car didn't need an entire rocker panel replacement, only a small section at the front including the front fender mount. Patch panels for this car aren't available so I'm showing how to fabricate and install a patch to repair this typical rust occurrence. I used "satin coat" 18 gauge steel but bare steel will work just as well. Tools used should be as you see in the video... cutting, grindi...
Misfire diagnosis and repair 2008 Hyundai Accent
มุมมอง 21K3 ปีที่แล้ว
This 2008 Hyundai Accent had a totally dead cyl#2 and code P0302. I diagnosed the problem to be a split intake manifold gasket allowing too much air into cyl#2 and would run lean at idle to the point of misfiring. When P0302 set, the ECM would totally shut off fuel to the cylinder. I discovered the problem by spraying brake clean around the intake manifold gasket and listening for the engine RP...

    Hey, I am working on the same issue on my Subaru. I am wondering, do you think it is better to spot weld the pinch weld on the bottom like you did, or leave a small gap for drainage? It seems to me like water will always find a way into the rocker (open body clip holes etc) and then dust will clog the pinch and the water will just rot it out again from the inside. I am considering leaving my pinch weld slightly open to just let it always drain and dry out. I also garage my car and rarely drive in the rain

    • @taillighttapegarage5816
      @taillighttapegarage5816 7 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Yes you do need to allow water to drain. In the past when I did a full rocker replacement on another similar car, I drilled a few 5/16" (8mm) holes along the underside of the rocker just above the pinch weld flange. Maybe not "proper" but it worked.

    Excellent job. Excellent description. I like the way you fully explained what you were doing. I also like that you showed the simple tools you made for bending and forming the sheet metal. I think it’s important for people to realize you don’t always need fancy tools to get the job done.

    Hi, I ran across almost the same issue on 2008 Hyundai Accent. when engine is cold there is no cylinder #1 misfire no multiple cylinder misfire. However, when engine warms up and it's in closed loop also, engine starts to shake slightly and PCM sets multiple misfire and cylinder #1 misfire plus it shuts off fuel injector #1. I rev the rpm up a little bit above idle, engine runs smoothly with no misfires on all cylinders and no injector shutoff. O2 sensor is reporting lean at idle, LTFT is +4%. I tried to spry water on the intake manifold to locate a leak but there is no change at all. I am going to get me a smoke machine to do the leak detection test and will take it from there. Again, when engine is cold no misfire on all cylinders, when engine revved up no misfire at all. Thank you for the valuable information presented on this video.

    • @taillighttapegarage5816
      @taillighttapegarage5816 ปีที่แล้ว

      I always use self etching primer directly on bare metal, it helps any other coatings stick well. On these patches I've been using Tremclad red oxide primer over the self etch, same as Rustoleum. It's not longterm but it'll protect as long as I need it to. Then spray rust check or fluid film inside the panel where you can't reach with paint, especially the back side of the welds.

    Had one of these cars, bought it new. After 40,000 it started to buck and kick and throw a CEL. Got ripped off by a dealer one time. Figured out it was the #3 coil going bad but always the #3 in mine. It died at 128k when I burned up the starter ( damn thing absolutely refused to turn over it just cranked and cranked and cranked.) . When I did get it back it absolutely refused to rev over 4000 rpm. Once it cleared that problem the power steering rack let go, that combined with needing a new exhaust was going to be 1200 bucks. The car was worth 300 bucks so it wasn’t worth trying to fix it

Even though I started draining all the gas out, I still couldn't get it to start without taking it to a shop. Last winter I started using VP ethanol free gas, and I didn't have starting issues, but I'll see about the upcoming winter season. Maybe the LCT AX engine version is built differently than the ones put on the cheaper models, but since both versions are Chinese made, you just don't know what the hell you're getting from them.
