Give credit where it's due...I will admit Ray is tech savvy, he's got a keen sixth sense and a 3rd eye when it comes to mechanical and automotive diagnostics, he's honest and owns it when he slips up. But.... when it's comes to carpentry, I'd sooner trust Ray Charles to install my OH door LOL Sorry Ray, couldn't contain myself....that was too easy, just teasin :)

[@mjac8373]

I love the expression "I'm gonna go ahead and condemn that valve" no wiggle room, pure death sentence! No better diagnostician anywhere on this platfrom. He's got the tools and knows how to use them. Amen. You rock, Ray!!

Yeahhh... I'm gonna have to go ahead and have you come in Saturday, and Sunday too...

When the part is cheap it works to toss it, you can always save it before the trash man shows up. Lol

Good afternoon Ray. I had this exact part go bad on my Lincoln last summer and was backed ordered for Four months. The old part got so bad every time I got gas for the car, the car sounded like it was farting. Glad when it was fixed. 😊

[@tomdixon1213]

It was great to see a completed task for a change. The battery cleaning was a bonus. Good video Rainman.

[@kevink8481]

He did that just to sell his Amazon product.. That's how he makes money. If you wanna do it right? You would disconnect the terminals from the battery and scrub everything.

Just a thought... if you were to hang the Corner of Death door the opposite way, it could open flat against the wall... that way the fan could co-exist with the door without being a potential hazard... and still open outwards as required for fire safety...?

Hey Ray, excellent diagnostic event today, electric diag is always interesting to watch you turn components on and off to test them. Very nice mustang too, be nice to see some classy fender covers used on the rides that you choose to grace us with !!!

[@sheerwillsurvival2064]

I tell ya I love my Autoline pro smoker. I bought it several years ago it’s only $120 and for DIY guys it’s awesome. And you can use baby oil and add a little scent to it helps with detecting leaks

[@ron1584]

It's funny being a retired mechanic, when you were walking up to the car, it was familiar and I remembered you changed a 02 sensor on the car. Before you said what you did on it last time.

[@Paramount531]

My former Transit 150 van suffered from recurring check engine lights evert few hundred miles. I'd get a small leak code in the evap system. Not having the tools that Ray has, I disconnected the purge solenoid, attached a line to it and blew through the line. I could move air through it when it was closed. I fired the parts cannon and got a new one, I could not move air through it when it was closed. It cured the problem for about $30, no more check engine light for the time I owned it.

[@bobbg9041]

Hey I like that 66 67 retro body style with the back window vents. That looks like Carol Shelby style. Car looking good.

[@BobBasshead]

[@Mr2004MCSS]

My fiancé owns a 2007 Mustang GT that just turned over 25,000 miles. She bought it used in 2010 with 6,900 miles.

[@seashackf1]

Oh it’s broken in already. Not by being driven hard by the nurse though. Amazon O2 sensor and in for check engine light with no other info point, the filthy engine bay, ripped and dirty seats among other things point to how it’s maintained. For only 51k miles it’s not wearing well at all. The rotted door panel and what are the dash carpet and filthy steering wheel cover hiding? Poor GT and that fake hood scoop.🤦‍♂️

[@stevewhiting556]

I’d take one half the age with twice the miles before I’d buy that one. The lack of mileage is exactly why it frequents the shop. It isn’t driven enough to let all the systems heat and lube properly. Florida humidity causes moisture. The moisture in the evap system is probably what killed this valve. Going for a road trip every once in a while would probably prevent most of this car’s problems. Let it burn off the moisture and get everything hot and well lubed. My guess is that this nurse lives close to their job and probably does 10 miles or less per day. That’s awful for longevity. Especially if they live in Tampa. It’s probably 5 miles each way of traffic jams.

[@chrisfreemesser5707]

So should we call it the "Sarasota Smoka"? Doesn't have quite the ring of Eric's "Avoca Smokah" but that's Ray's fault for not living in rural upstate NY 🤣

[@billinphoenix255]

I like how you have the purge valve disconnected with paper clips in the plug and you still feel the valve click ? Very enjoyable vids Ray

[@moneysaversilver]

I was an aircraft electrician for 20 years just because the solenoid clicks doesn't mean it moves

[@mrmustangman]

🎯

[@CrimeVid]

Just because a solenoid clicks, it does not mean the bendix ain’t stuck, Wait ! What !!

[@ckmoore101]

From my C-130 experience, the harder the click, the more suspect I am (slamming the pole harder sometimes indicates its no longer moving the points, for lack of a better term)

[@spaceflight1019]

A solenoid valve consists of two parts: the solenoid coil and the valve assembly. Seen lots of times where the plunger wasn't connected to the plug or piston.

[@cajunoneforchrist4545]

Correct

[@111smd]

ray i think some cars have a one way valve on the tank side of the fill tube and if i recall mustangs always have them encase they flip

[@GuysPlayingWithTools]

It drives me crazy when I buy a tool I know I want (and need), then don't have a reason to use it for a while.

[@arska6383]

When the battery terminals start to corrode like that it is an indication that someone has either impacted the terminal screws on way too hard or hammered the terminals on or mutilated them in some other way Those actions can break the seal between the terminal and the battery case and allow the acid to slowly leak out and corrode the terminal

[@carnutal3627]

I was wondering about that. My batteries never have any corrosion around them so I was wondering why some do and some don’t. Thanks for the explanation.

[@JeffDeWitt]

I wonder if it's more common in hot climates. I've had that happen on my cars, I've been the only one to mess with the batteries know I didn't do anything like that. Our summers here in North Carolina can get a bit toasty.

[@carnutal3627]

@@JeffDeWitt I’ve lived in Raleigh and now Florida. No terminal corrosion either place. If you think NC is hot come to Fl😀

[@JeffDeWitt]

@@carnutal3627 Then there is something else going on. As I mentioned I've had this happen with healthy, undamaged batteries, more than once on different cars. I've started using sealant something like Ray used and that seems to have resolved the problem, but only time will tell.

Yep definitely the EVAP purge valve. My 2006 Crown Vic had the same problem last year.

[@MrArtVendelay]

I think if the fuel tank were more filled with gas, the smoke might have made it out. Also, isn't there a small spring loaded door down the filler tube that opens only when you shove the gas hose into it?

[@jsh6952]

That door is to keep unwanted objects from falling into the gas tank, it isn't air tight. The cap provides the air tight seal.
