1997 Hyundai Sonata - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

trans filter fluid levil ?

You looked at the coolant sensor? What did you expect to find? I mean, did you actually TEST it or just check to see if it was there? The only way to diagnose a check engine light is to pull the trouble codes from the computer. That's always the starting point. Then you do the appropriate diagnostic work to narrow it down further.

Were the transmission shift solenoids replaced?

The key must be replaced with a genuine Hyundai key then programed, the key has a computer that talks to the lock, sure it will turn over but will not start,

I had mine done in a Camry V6 and it was $435, being about half each parts and labour. You are best getting a new solenoid as this would only cost you about $80 more and it would be warranted. The job is best done on a hoist as the transmission bottom pan has to come off.

why 2 questions,i just told you that you can as long as it is the same type motor

Manifold differential pressure. Best I got. Never heard of it.

Are you sure it is not P0140 that is for O2 sensor bank 1 sensor 2, so it it the 1 after the catalytic converter. i have no idea what a p1400 so i am guessing.

Here is how to do it....http://www.hyundai-forums.com/194-y2-ef-1989-2005-sonata/85304-replacing-timing-belt-97-sonata.html

If you have to ask, it is probably better to replace with same engine from junk yard, make sure low miles and warranty...

check the cooling lines for leaks (loose fittings). If it is from the bell housing area it will be front seal in torque converter of manual the clutch input shaft. If from the rear it may be a drive shaft seal both boxes.

This is not a do it yourself repair .So if you do not want to destroy your engine take it to a competent workshop and have the car checked out as I already advised you.

You are asking multiple individual questions here when the problems are all related. You should ask one question and provide all the information about problems with the vehicle at once if you want to get the correct information in a reply.I have already answered this question when responding to your check engine query where you did not even to bother indicating that you were getting overheating warnings as well which I had assumed must be occurring and told you so.

Quite obviously there is a problem with the engine's cooling system which needs to be rectified. You should also be monitoring the coolant temp gauge because it would be in the red.If you keep driving the car in this condition you will destroy the engine and very soon wind up with a car that will not be worth repairing.The cooling system will need to be flushed as a minimum and the water pump checked. I suggest that the water pump may have failed and will need to be replaced. (A new thermostat should also be fitted.)

Remove all the plastic covers that you see. There ought to be in by the door handle, and two under the armrest. You may need to remove the plastic cover by the interior door handle by pushing forward on the plastic unit. Check to ensure that all the screws are removed(philips), and tug gently on the door panel. There might be some or one that you may have missed. Do not force it off. There are plastic "anchors" that hold the door panel to the door itself. Some might break, but can be replaced with others from your local parts store

no spend your money on a new car
