1998 Hyundai Tiburon - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

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.

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!!!

check the oxygen sensor chech the exhust system

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

Only 2 parts remaining are the thermostat and waterpump. Always start with the thermostat when diagnosing an overheating problem. If the car is overheating constantly under all conditions and coolant is backing up into the reservoir, it's very likely to be the thermostat. If it only overheats at low speed or idling, it's more likely the waterpump.

P1624 HYUNDAI - Cooling Fan Relay - Low

yes it is caused by your belt. now do not drive the vehicle at all until new belt is instaled. the belt is called a serpentine belt and it is the only one on the vehicle. it runs the power steering pump, your alternator, and your water pump. now keep in mind you temp gauge will not work untill it is to late because there is no colant bein sent threw your engine block. make sure to have some one put the belt on that has done it before because the belt can go a couple of different ways one the pullys but if it is not the right way your water pump could spin backwards and this will overheat your engine because the water is supposed to flow only one way due to the thermostat. so you will not gett any cooling. and i repeat do not drive car until the belt is replaced. and the correct way to route the new belt should be located under the hood on a diagram. i hope this information was helpfull to you. please rate my solution
Thank you

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..

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
