I recently did a set of injectors on a Sonata. They came with the seals already installed and sized. Reused the outer seal that keeps debris out because they were backordered. Injectors pulled out relatively easily by hand and installed easily by hand. No special tools needed.

[@mikechiodetti4482]

Direct Injection was supposed to be the cure all to several problems but, it is the problem! The manufacturers did not do enough research to see how diesel injectors last so long. Couple that with the bean counters cutting costs and......1 broken Hyundai!

[@redline6k]

The switch to direct injection has been nothing but problems. They don't last long at all compared to port injectors.

[@blademansw]

And they have had to add back in secondary port injectors to stop the carbon build up issues on the valves. Beggars belief.

[@Adam-bw4lw]

I honestly belive petrol and direct injectors dont mix well(since the fuel bearly has any lubricating propretis and the injectors are tight tolerances)

[@dosgos]

These are great for supercars.

[@jeremyah78]

OE’s love the control that it gives them in the chamber though. It’s unlikely port injection will ever make a come back despite many drawbacks from a cost of ownership point of view.

[@zoidberg444]

I'd be curious to know if its just cheap poor quality parts that are the problem (like is the norm for the automotive industry these days) or the ethanol content of the fuel or if it is just the technology itself which isn't viable. I know on the Toyota's they mix port and direct injectors partly for performance reasons and also probably to stop carbon build up in the intake. At the rate they seem to fail I really can't believe that it produces any savings or emissions savings overall because the parts have a relatively short life.

[@joedavis2081]

Ran into the same problen with the Azera, i noticed only four humps on some of the injectors, good ones produce 13 humps, the new injectors from the dealer already has the seals on them, about a 2hr job. Not bad of a job. Good job explaining this situation.

[@W.Khairi]

On a GDI car with such symptoms , I'd quickly go to live data to observe fuel rail pressure while KOEO if it drops quickly after the pump is primed then it is most likely a leaky injector. Also Ivan I think u forgot to quote him the possibly cooked o2 sensors. Great intriguing diag process, Thank u very much.

[@craigiefconcert6493]

I wonder if all that fuel dumping into that cylinder has: 1: messed up the catalytic converter which will probably fail prematurely $$$$ 2: washed out the oil from the cylinder walls leading to scoring and oil consumption $$$$$ Get rid of it.

[@zoidberg444]

Especially considering its a Hyundai - they are nice enough vehicles and are cheap for what you get but they are designed to last for about 7 years/100,000 miles and then they drop to pieces. In the UK that is their warranty period and from what I have seen it gets a bit of use.

[@colin4850]

Ive owned several Kia / Hyundai cars over the last 15 years , I dont think they are any less reliable than other makes. After all Eric O's lovely wife drives one so cant be all bad

[@zoidberg444]

They are good enough - general rule of thumb is to change them every 7 years.

[@billmonroe8826]

[@donho9670]

I have been messing around with my dad's last new car, 92 Acclaim, trying to get it back on the road. Novice with scopes(cheap Hantek here) but did injector wave-forms for all 6(3.0L)and found cyl. #3 had a similar waveform(to yours) that was different than the others. Not knowing any better, I bought a cheap set of inj. off of ebay, but(of course) it did nothing to solve #3 issue(and obviously could have added to my headaches). I reloaded the parts cannon by buying a used PCM which(at least for now)seems to have fixed the issue(bad #3 inj. driver?). Car has other issues, but I'm(slowly)learning along the way...even at my age(thanks to folks like you). Know the systems, have a plan, work the plan...but be prepared for the unexpected/invitations to rabbit holes, particularly when looking for the easy fix/etc..

[@edwinlomonaco6754]

The new injector usually comes with new seals on it. I've done these. Most of the time you can just pull the old one out slide the new one in with just your hands. Just don't use any lubricant. And make sure the bore is clean.

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

Interesting you say no lubricant. Not saying you're wrong. Just saw many posts about that he should have used lube.

[@edwinlomonaco6754]

@@dans_Learning_Curve Nope. The factory doesn't use it. It's not an o-ring. Lubricating it will actually compromise the seal. Think of it as press on seal. Like a wheel bearing.

It’s not too bad. Looks like the same kind of seals as on GM injectors and I’ve changed quite a few of those. There are ways to do it without getting the special tools although it’s easier to just get them especially seeing how more and more engines are going to direct injection and you’ll surely need them again at some point.

Absolutely the best advice you gave this customer was to rid himself of vehicle while it was running well. I made the very bad mistake of buying a brand new Hyundai Group car (2016 Kia Soul). I am very meticulous when it comes to maintenance on my cars and my Kia Soul lasted exactly 70k before it left me on the side of the expressway in a puddle of oil & a brand viewing window in the block.

[@dans_Learning_Curve]

Was it using oil? EDIT Do you check your oil or do you rely on it being okay until the next oil change?

[@karlrovey]

Shouldn't that be a warranty engine replacement?

[@chrissimmons9969]

Yes I checked my oil regularly and most of the time would service it myself. I became concerned when I saw what I believed to be excessive oil usage. I was concerned enough that I took to the dealership and they performed an oil consumption test. Of course they claimed that what I was seeing was "normal". This is probably why I got no push back whatsoever when I filed my warranty claim. They did ask for any documentation for maintenance records. I guess I have to give them credit for honoring their powertrain warranty but then again they should. Within 2 weeks of getting the vehicle back with the remanufactured engine I unloaded the Kia (no) Soul.

It is a bummer when your vehicle breaks down again, however it may very well be more cost effective to repair than replace a vehicle. Especially in this instance where it is an unrelated issue. Injectors do fail, to be honest an injector fail would be far more palatable than the previous fail on this vehicle. Though at $200 an injector, I can understand why the customer inly wants to replace the faulty one. It isn't as if one failure means the rest are on the way to failure. All in all a regrettable failure in this instance. Great diagnosis method Ivan. Very quick & cost friendly for your customer - The diagnosis time I mean.

Kia/Hyundai vehicle owners, with that now infamous 2.4 I4, thought they'd be left holding the bag, too; 'till they got smart: got together, organized, and filed that law suit - Kia/Hyundai had to step-up. Diesels use DI, and they don't suffer that Hyundai's injector failure. Why didn't Hyundai use a known, trouble-free DI injector design? Money - the bottom line, that's why! Are their other vehicle manufacturers using petrol DI, and not in experiencing such DI failures? Of course they are! It's Hyundai's fault, not DI technology; nor certainly not the Govt's. What I'd love to see is Ivan cut open that faulty injector and do a post mortem. Did the spring break, or just weaken? Is there data out there on DI injector spring specifications (length, compression strength, etc). Something kept that pintle open: weak/broken spring, computer, maybe? I'm still waiting for him to disect that Lexus transmission... Plenty of those still in service.

Long crank/hard starts + smoke occasionally. Bank 1 is pulling a ton of fuel out, its LTFT is like -15% all the time. It idles so bad, but naturally all of the shops that its been to "can't replicate the problem". I'm considering just replacing all 6 myself and calling it a day.

So you are saying, "its a Hyundai" as far as the level of repairs it is needing. That said, is there a point where you get through the repairs and it is dependable again for a few years? Again, going back to my 22 year old Chrysler, it has had a few hiccups in that time where it needed several thousand dollars worth of repairs in one year, but once we got through that it only needed maintenance repairs for several years. It never cost as much in one year as a payment on a newer vehicle would have cost. I think the most we ever spent in one year was $2000, and that was way less than the payments on a new van would have been for one year. So the question is, do you pony up the money for the repairs, knowing that you will most likely get several years of dependable service on the other side of it (never certain, but probable), or do you not repair, knowing that at this point, the vehicle is most likely junk, and will never be dependable again?

I have a Hyundai Veracruz from Florida it was owned by some people who actually took care of it it has over 200,000 miles it’s a 3.8 V6 and it runs awesome we just took it out for a 4 hour trip last night to a place called Jenison Michigan and we went on the Grand Lady river paddleboat. Hand built by 1 man! There is a beautiful well-maintained campground and if you get a chance you should definitely camp there. The man’s name is Captain Bill. He was a pilot for 30 years and built the airport campground and he owns 1 mile of river front on the grand river. Tickets for the river boat were only $20! Anyway off subject I love your videos Ivan!! Maybe one day we’ll get to meet ,it would be my pleasure!

I understand why the manufactures went to DI, but port injection fuel injectors, and the whole FI system, is so much more reliable. I really don’t believe petrol lends itself to such a high pressure system.
