2004 Hyundai Santa Fe Logo
Anonymous Posted on Jun 21, 2011

I have a 2004 Sante Fe 4 cyl. The check engine light came on and the codes were:P0300, PO446 AND PO 320. I had the IGNITION sensor replaced. the check engine light is still on and now I'm getting the following codes: PO300, PO300P, PO301, PO301P, PO302, PO302P,PO303, PO303P , PO304, PO304P, PO320, PO446, PO446P. In addition, the HVAC stopped blowing and had the control assembly replaced. It worked for 3 days and quit. I can feel cool air coming out, but barely. Does anybody have any ideas?

OK To start with, you need to forget about the air conditioner until you get your engine running correctly. The HVAC is controlled by the Powertrain Control Module (PCM). The PCM is probably not allowing the HVAC to run due to all the engine misfire codes you are getting. It may be someting else, but until you get your engine running right, you could be spinning your wheels.

I have no clue what you are talking about when you say "Ignition Sensor" - there is no such sensor on any vehicle that I am aware of. There are many sensors that can affect the ignition like the Crankshaft Position Sensor, but none are called "Ignition Sensor".

P0300 Simply means that there is more than one cylinder misfiring.
P0301 means that cylinder #1 is misfiring, P0302 means that cylinder #2 is misfiring, P0303 means that cylinder #3 is misfiring, and P0304 means that cylinder # 4 is misfiring. (these are what are known as "current faults". The codes ending in "P" mean the same thing, but they are "pending" codes. Current faults MUST be dealt with FIRST.

The P0446 is not a valid code for a 2003-2005 Hyundai Santa Fe as far as I can tell. I tried to look the code up by application and it simply is not there. You may want to read the code again. Sometimes, if you are reading the codes with a "generic" OBD code reader, it will give the closest description it can for a "Vehicle-Specific" code. They are not allways correct. You may want to scan your computer with a scanner that is equipped with the Vehicle-Specific software for your vehicle. You will probably get a different rendering of the code.

The "generic" description of P0446 is "Evaporative Emmission Control System Vent Control Circuit" Again, the DTC list for your vehicle lists similar codes: P0445, P0447 and P0448, however it skips over the P0446 code. If you in fact have a problem with your EVAP vent solenoid circuit, it could, concievably be the cause of your misfire problem. It is possible that the vent solenoid is causing a huge vacuum leak. NOT LIKELY that it is causing the misfire codes, but POSSIBLE.

Anyway, there are literally HUNDREDS of parts that can be the cause of a misfire. This needs to be PROPERLY DIAGNOSED to determine the cause. It could be anything from worn-out spark plugs, a vacuum leak, a faulty fuel pump, all the way to a blown head gasket or cracked cylinder head. Whatever the actual cause may be, it is obviously affecting all 4 cylinders. (This will rule out some things).

Only the 4 cylinder uses a stand alone ICM. If you have a 4 cyl then the module may be attached to the valve cover. See picture.

Is there an erg valve on a honda accord 2008 4 cyl

code p0300 refers to--random/multiple cylinder/s misfire detected...Causes---spark plugs---HT leads---injectors---ignition coils ---low compression ---wiring
code p0302 refers to cylinder 2 misfire detected Causes ---engine mechanical fault---wiring---ignition/fuel system ---ECT/MAF sensors ECM
code po303 refers to cylinder 3 misfire detected Causes Engine mechanical fault---wiring---ignition/ fuel system ---injector---ECT/MAF sensor ECM The common fault to all is the fuel/system ignition
I would have the injectors checked and have a pressure test done on the fuel manifold to check pump and fuel regulator valve.

I replaced head gaskets on 2004 dodge dakota. when started it ran rough and lacked acceleration. Code P0300 and o2 sensors showed. replaced all 4 O2 sensors, but still rough idle and code P0300

That's Random or multiple missfire code. Have you checked for proper fuel pressure? Improper fuel pressure will trigger this code if it's too low, thus causing a lean mixture in multiple cylinders.

Check engine light comes on for 2004 Hyundai Sante Fe. O2 sensor was replaced but still has the problem. Does the EGR manifold tend to get clogged up on the Sante Fe? I fixed a Honda Civic check engine...

First of all, why was the O2 snsr replaced?... Check Engine light? What DTC (diagnostic trouble code) did you find stored in the ECU (Engine Control Unit)? The drivability you seem to be describing can have multiple causes -- faulty sensors, malfunctioning computer, clogged catalytic converter, leaky injectors, vacuum leaks, etc.

Ok... this is gonna take some time. The 04 Santa Fe came with 3 (three) different/possible engines -- the 4 Cylinder 2.4 lit, the 2.7 V6, and the 3.5 V6. Only the 2.4 (4 cyl) and the 3.5 V6 are equipped with EGR. The 2.7 does NOT have EGR. To answer part of your question, the EGR system on the 4 Cyl is known to develop restriction(s) in the EGR port (from the # 4 cylinder exhaust port to the EGR valve at the intake manifold). This port travels through the head (front to rear, i.e., Left to Right when viewing the engine from the transmission end). This port cannot be seen at the # 4 cylinder exhaust port unless you remove the exhaust manifold.

It would be very helpful if you could provide more detailed/specific information regarding the drivability issue & what/which codes were found related to the Check Engine light.

All of the sudden my check engine light, my VSC light, and my TRAC OFF light came on. Any thoughts?

You need to have the ecm scanned for codes. The VSC and TRAC OFF lights are one just because the Check engine light is on. Once you clear the code in the ecm they will go off too.

2004 santa fe (4 cyl model) low jumpy idle and low power at slow speeds and idle ..... very jumpy. Transmission has checked out ok. Seems to worsen if you have the air conditioner on.

Do you have a check engine light? If so have Autozone tell you what engine code is ( free). Sounds like could be cranck shaft position sensor. Symptoms sound just like what ours was doing before we replaced sensor.
