GT. How can I set the timing?
Go to YouTube, and enter "2005 Hyundai Tiburon GT valve timing" in the search box. You will find several videos that deal with changing the timing belt and water pump. Toward the end of each video, when they are reassembling the components, they will show the correct way to set the crankshaft pulley and cam pulleys to properly time the engine.
Can I use synthetic oil in 06 Tiburon?
Check with the application catalogue of your choice of oil brand and you should find your car listed with the appropriate grade of synthetic oil.
There is a note of caution, especially with an engine that has already covered a fair mileage. Depending on the service history and the type of oil used in the past, the engine could be clean, slightly dirty or very dirty inside and changing to a high detergent oil if the engine is dirty could cause problems. Detergent oils scour the inside and cleans things and holds the dirt in suspension so it gets drained at the next oil change.
The trouble is, there is a limit to how much dirt the oil can hold and if that limit is reached mass dumping can happen - blocking filters and oilways.
It is a while since I encountered an engine that died of a thrombosis and the additive packs of oils have been improving all the time but the point should be considered...
My 2001 hyundia Tiburon won't start but turns over.
Hi Donna,
The most common problems with an engine that will not start are lack of fuel in the tank, water in the fuel, the fuel pump not working or there is no spark for ignition.
Realistically, if you know little about engines you need help from a mechanic or someone with knowledge. The only quick try you could apply is to turn on the ignition, then thump the fuel tank with a rubber mallet or your fist. If the pump is stuck, this might jar it into action, but you still need a mechanic to repair or replace the pump, as it is inside the fuel tank.
Good luck.
How can I test maf and vaf sensors?
Wiring, schematic, electrical diagrams, fuse diag, error codes, torque settings etc are basic contents of these online books they have here on this website www.reliable-store.com I have attached. Must check it out
Headlight problems
What is the make and model of your vehicle? You need a wiring schematic to troubleshoot. It's possible there is a fuseable link in the wire itself that is bad.
My tiburon will not let
Not actually au-fey with this model but some cars have a little button just above the key slot which needs pushing in to release the key lock. Another reason could be that the handbrake is not fully on. Thirdly try just pushing the key in hard before turning (usually) Anti-clockwise this will release the concealed internal lock.
Aftermarket stereo fuse location
Often, aftermarket units will have a separate fuse in the power supply line in the center console or dashboard.
To check, pull out the stereo (you may need to buy a couple of cheap "DIN removal tools", though you can sometimes fake it with a couple of small screwdrivers) and examine the wiring.
If the fuse did blow, the next question is why, so look for any wires that have come loose and are contacting things they shouldn't.
