co0de p 0420 refers to vat converter bank 1 below threshold ===causes ---cat converter---wiring ---HO2S ( heated oxygen sensor in the exhaust manifold bank 1 before the cat converter) you have possible 2 problems 1--- the HO2S is faulty but that alone will not result in what you describe It's function is to read the exhaust gas composition out of the combustion chamber and report to the ECM so that the air fuel ratio can be maintained according to set parameters the most likely problem is a failed cat converter that is blocking the exhaust system with the exhaust not flowing freely, there is excessive back pressure and that stops the exhaust gas from exiting the combustion chambers and so rpm is restricted and the economy takes a nose dive I would consider that you have the cat tested and /or replaced as that will be the base fault causing the problems

I had something similar happen my car, literally disconnected battery half hour reset computer and it started. Dont know Why but hey car still running six months later

when washing an engine you have to be careful any seal on the electrics can be weak and water can get in this will disrupt the signals the ecu uses. you will need to remove one by one every sensor cap were the wiring goes in and check there is no water in them, even the ecu connection, any water found dry out and replace the seal as its weak, you have to be careful when washing engines they don't get that wet in normal running, i usually steam clean the engine bay as this does not use excessive amounts of water and removes oil and grease better than water on it own.

If you detected the engine knocking and the knock sensor also detected it to the extent it caused the ECM to set a diagnostic trouble code (DTC) then simply replacing the knock sensor was a waste of time and money, a case of shooting the messenger because you don't like the message. If the car is under warranty or guarantee then take it to the dealer for complete diagnostics. Do not under any circumstances be put off by lame explanations that they can't do anything. Take the car to other dealers to get written reports on the car. It is very important to get the reports in writing as this gives you legal protection with regard to the guarantee.

You will need to remove the door card and check the lock linkage rod to the door latch, it may have come off, most likely from a broken retainer clip..

If you're pumping gas into a running car.....that's an invitation for a disastrous fire. Most newer cars have pressure sensors in the fuel tank for the pollution control system and safety systems. these systems prevent conditions for a refueling fire to exist.

Unfortunately not much. If the door will not open from inside/outside, it will most likely be a lock issue. In most cases, the door will need to be disassembled for access to the interior components. The door is not designed to be disassembled while closed. If put into the wrong hands for disassembly while the door is closed, you most likely will end up with interior panel damage which could cost more to repair/replace than having a pro complete the repair fist hand.

Hello Monica.,Take it to your local garage and ask them to check out the onboard computer. You can do it yourself often. Just disconnect your battery for 2 mins and then reconnect.. If the same.. the garage., good luck Ray

Here is what I found on P0128 code: - Leaking or stuck open thermostat - Low engine coolant level - Insufficient warm up time - Faulty engine coolant temperature sensor - Engine coolant temperature sensor harness is open or shorted - Engine coolant temperature sensor circuit poor electrical connection When is the code detected? The engine coolant temperature does not reach to specified temperature even though the engine has run long enough. P0128 Hyundai Description Coolant thermostat (coolant temperature below thermostat regulating temperature). Indicates that the thermostat monitor has not achieved the required engine operating temperature within a specified amount of time after starting the engine. I WOULD TAKE IT TO A DIFFERENT REPAIR SHOP, ONE THAT HAS YOUNG MECHANICS THAT UNDERSTAND TROUBLESHOOTING CODES AND SEARCHING YOUR CAR COMPUTER FOR SOFT AND HARD CODES THAT MAY BE RELATED TO THIS CODE. YOUR COMPUTER SOMETIMES KEEPS A HISTORY OF CODES. GOOD LUCK Read more: http://engine-codes.com/p0128_hyundai.html#ixzz3JpRiZ9eN
