Top 20 1998 Hyundai Tiburon Questions & Answers

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.

check fuel pump relay

Not sure for 98s. But you need to erase the codes to start. If the problem is still there, Check the wiring to the transmission. You need electrical diagrams.

Check ur crank position sensor had a mustang once and it use to leave me stranded once warmed up had to let it sit for about 20 min before it started again changed this part and it was running no problem

This is only my opinion....With any vehicle, where important parts counts for the safety of your engine, don't play around. I see a thermostat as a very important part. Buy Hyundai, or if to expensive, go for a good make. The price is still cheap to a engine overhaul. Same counts for your headgasket. Hope it helps!!!

a serpentine belt ( multi groove ) is used to drive the assecories such as alternator .water pump, power steering etc all togeather and is tensioned by an adjustable idler pulley. So the answer to this is no.If you care to look under the bonnet of several other cars you will see the difference

I had a similiar problem twice with a dodge caravan 2004. I can't tell you why, but hyundai service should give you that info even if you didn't buy it there. they supposedly stand behind their product.In my case, the answer was as little as depressing the brake, changing gears, or lifting up a small button that was inadvertently depressed: I forget. Havn't had a problem since, so I assume our car guy took it to the dealer?

Some muffler shops use a metal wrapping that might work depending on the area that is rotting. Also you can try some JB Weld but not sure if the metal is in good enough shape to bond. You might have to replace the muffler if it won't seal and bond over the rotting metal.

Yes there is a long metal dip stick either red or usually yellow..you have to check fluid level while vehicle is idling..

When it comes to the air bags and the air bag system you really should take it to a professional to have it looked at. Don't try and diagnose yourself for you could cause the air bag to fire off.

HelloThe engine and automatic transmission in this vehicles drive train are fully electronically controlled by a computer called the PCM (Power Train Control Module). Whenever a problem like this occurs the computer stores a record of the problem (there are of course some exceptions to this, like the fuel pump, engine coolant temperature sensor and MAF sensor for instance) in the form of a fault code in its memory, to read these fault codes you must have the systems memory scanned with a special tool. Once the fault code(s) are read you then must perform the appropriate diagnostic testing to find and resolve the problem(s) DO NOT REPLACE ANY PARTS UNTIL A TRAINED TECHNICAIN HAS DIAGNOSED THE PROBLEM TO AVOID SPEDING YOUR HARD EARNED MONEY ON PARTS THAT MAY NOT CORRECT THE PROBLEM

Your vehicle is burning engine coolant. Do not start vehicle until it is repaired; there is a high risk of needing a completely new engine and exhaust.Your throttle body and intake manifolds will need to be disassembled to inspect the gaskets. Further inspection includes the piston rings, cylinders and valve train hardware. How much damage if any is dependent on how hot it was allowed to get, how well the car was built and how much coolant was actually burned through. You can get a general idea of how much that might be by inspecting the radiator. While the engine is off and the cap is cool, take it off and note how much coolant is missing and it's color and smell. It may appear more brown and smell like engine oil. Also check the oil dipstick...it may appear to actually be over filled and have the same appearance and smell as the radiator contents.You may actually also be able to theoretically test for a level of engine damage by how opaque the oil pan contents are and metal content. I have this idea that if you are able to get a cup of that oil and drop a refrigerator magnet into it, swish it around a little and collect a pinch of metal from it...then I'm referring you to an experienced mechanic for that part but I think that's a blown motor.Good luck!

Yes.The sending unit has constant power coming from the battery, so it will always give you a reading.
