Idle speed actuator
I would need more details about your problem to be able to help you. Please elaborate on your problem if you still need help. Thanks
My 2001 Tiburon keeps blowing it headlights.
You look at the store for new headlights, Just kidding. I have a 01 tiburon same problem. Aparently the 97 body style "that aren't in cans" like mine don't have issues. The problem is the seal. This last time I used some RTV gasket maker around the seal and haven't had an issue since.
I have had my tiburon less than a year but about a
the trans computer has seen a problem possible a bad sensor, or an internal problem, and puts it into a safe mode, or limp home mode , it wont shift , it will stay in 3rd gear, this way this reduces the possibility of further damage trans damage, when you turn the ignition off and back on it resets the tcm, my advice is to take it to your local dealer, they can diag your trans as they know the product, i dont advise pep boys, or discount auto parts.
I can no longer pump
You may have a problem with the fuel tank vent valve. This lets air into the tank as you use fuel and allows air out of the tank as you refill with fuel. If the valve is plugged or stuck shut the fuel nozzle will kick off as you try to refill the tank because the fuel can't get through the fill neck and into the tank as fast as it's being pumped in and will back up high enough to kick the nozzle off. Hope this helps and good luck!
My Tiberon idles very roughly, but runs great on
No mention of any diagnostic trouble codes so I would remove large rubber intake tube from air
filter box to throttle body. Only remove from throttle body end lay out of the way. You willneed a can of carburetor cleaner and an old tooothbrush (not a little wire brush). Look inside throttle body and you will see the throttle plate. Reach and pull on throttle cable to open throttle plate fully. When open coat throttle plate good with carburetor cleaner, take toothbrush and scrub carbon deposits from throttle plate paying special attention to both sides. Carbon build-up in and around where throttle position sensor comes through inside of throttle body and connects to throttle plate causes throttle plate not to close completely when accelerator pedal released at idle. This can allow too much air into intake causing rough idle and also can cause Idle Air Control Motor not to be activated due to throttle plate not closing far enough for TPS to recognize throttle cable has been released. The IAC picks up and maintains engine idle until accelerator is depressed and TPS resumes engine rpm control depending on accelerator pedal pressure.
It is also possible that IAC stepper motor is going bad. Normally if this occurs check engine light will illuminate with a diagnostic trouble code for IAC P0505, P0506, or P0510.
Sorry it is so lengthy but pretty simple procedure. Hope it helps.
***Note*** Some throttle bodies have a wax pellet in bottom side of chamber so careful not to let
carburetor cleaner puddle in bottom when sprayed.If cleaner is allowed to puddle and eat up the pellet you have to get another throttlebody. Pellet cannot be bought seperately. When you pull throttle cable you can stick a small rag down in there to catch excess cleaner.

My car runs fine as
I have a 2000 Tiburon with 276,000 on it and this is a common problem with the Tibby's and with mine it is quite predictable from 4500 RPM to 6 Grand thru the gears... I have narrowed it down to being spark and/or alternator related... while some guys say that the Camshafts are getting worn. when I find out I'll be able to let you know!
