Heat in my Santa Fe smells like burning oil?
There is no way changing the coolant going to help. The coolant system is a sealed system and if you are getting a smell from that you have some very serious problems. So you have/had oil running down the side of the engine and onto the manifold. Now I wonder where the smell is coming from? When you turn the heater on it brings fresh air into the car cabin along with any smells outside of the car. But don't worry, if the oil leak is repaired, the oil will burn off some day and at that time the smell will go away.
What is a method to start a car after running out of gas?
OP: “What is a method to start a car after running out of gas?”Read your Owner’s manual.A) Get fresh gasoline. Use a proper filling can certified for holding petroleum products.B) Fill at least 5 litres into the tank.C) Give the gas time to trickle down to the bottom of the tank where the fuel pickup (intake) is.Some fuel pumps are submerged in petroleum to keep them cool.After waiting a minute, then turn the key to “on” you should hear the fuel pump go “Buzzt” as the pressure is built up in the fuel lines going to the engine. Once the pressure goes above a set value (20 or 35 psi), then it shuts off.turn the car to off again, the fuel pump is now primed.Now change , and start like normal.You should have enough fuel to get to the nearest fuel stop. Fill it to 1/2 tankful only.Then when you get home , fill with your regular fuel.Watch the fuel empty sign ,and the warning buzzer!It means fill it up within 100 km, so you were warned long ahead, but you ignored the warning. Doh!Don’t do this too often otherwise fuel pumps fail, and other parts wear a lot harder without the fuel to lubricate the system.If you are in Orange County, California; you may wish to phone a friend to bring you some gasoline, since it is those very same ‘friends’ that will expect you to have a car well gassed up when they need a lift. If they politely excuse that they can’t help, you know who to give lifts to when they want a ride (siblings excepted)
02 Hyundai sonata amp?
Can someone tell me where is the factory amp located at in a 02 Sonata. There has to be one somewhere, when I installed a jvc head unit I had to connect the amp wire on the harness to get sound.
Why does my car idle at a really low RPM while stopped, and start shaking?
You may have a misfire, a vacuum leak, or a clogged/faulty idle air control valve. It could be a couple other things, too, but those are the most common and first things you should explore. This is because:If you have a misfire, one of your cylinders is not working and while that may be less noticeable at higher speeds when the engine is spinning really fast and the throttle is wide open, at lower speeds the difference is more apparent.If there is no misfire (and no codes / check engine light), the problem is most likely air related. This could mean a vacuum leak from a hose or the intake manifold itself. Or, commonly, it could be that your Idle Air Control Valve is clogged or not working well. The engine monitors via sensors how much air is coming in vs engine speed and uses that to control fuel injection and ignition timing.If it's a vacuum leak, the engine is getting more air than it thinks it is and that is causing a 'lean' fuel/air ratio.If the IAC valve (and its passages around the throttle plate) are clogged up, the engine thinks it's getting more air than it really is at idle with the throttle plate closed (foot off the gas), resulting in a 'rich' fuel/air ratio.All of these scenarios will probably cause some sort of engine code and checking them should be your first step. Note that an oxygen sensor code will be indicitave of one of the above 'air' situations because it detects how rich or lean the ratio is.
Battery light just came on in my car and steering wheel tightened up...?
I waS on my way home and my battery light came on so i turned off the air and the radio (thought maybe it would conserve some of the energy if the battery was dying. everytime i tried to turn a corner the steering wheel was sooo tight i had to force it to turn. I got home and turned the car off and back on a few times, turned the radio and the air back on to see if they still worked...everything was still working but the battery light was still on and the wheel was still locking up...does anyone know what would cause both of those things to happen at the same time?
How do back seats fold down in Hyundai Elantra 2008?
there is a little circle in the top left and right of your trunk with a picture of a folding seat. if you pull those levers you can fold down the seats by pushing them down. (each knob only folds down the left/right side. i think the middle folds with the right knob)
I really want to buy a tiburon, but i don't know if it's worth or not.?
well you're brother is right, the TC is the better way to go but more pricely to keep up on. HOWEVER if you still decide to get a tiburon stay away from the 2003 2004 models they carry tranny problems, they have most of the kinks worked out on the 05 models tho and i have a 2001 tiburon as a winter car and i almost regret it, every day i'd have to bleed the line from the slave cylinder because the clutch would have to be at the floor when taking off or else it would stall out, but replacing the slave cylinder is far easier and cheaper than anything with the tranny. i've also found it difficult to get rid of, people are catching on to the gossip about these cars not being reliable, but i've taken it on 3 trips from ohio to florida in the past 2 months alone and it hasnt given me any problems, and the gas mileage i was averaging 37 mpg. so think about!!! no car is perfect, but tranny problems are no fun.. o and changing the rotors were very difficult to, it gets pretty rusty pretty quick if you live in the north..
Why is my car shaking and the check engine light flashing?
A shaking vehicle AND flashing MIL ("check engine light") sound like the vehicle is misfiring on at least one cylinder. As @Anna Nguyen, @Brendan Sinclair, @Antoun Nabhan and others have said, it could be an ignition related problem. It could also be fuel-related. If one or more fuel injectors are clogged or dead, that would also cause a misfire in the affected cylinder(s). These are relatively cheap/easy things to check and fix.Other causes (which could be more complicated and more expensive) to fix include contaminated fuel, a bent intake or exhaust valve, a broken valve spring, a damaged piston/connecting rod, and on and on.I recommend getting a scan tool and checking the codes which are causing the MIL to light/flash and I also strongly recommend NOT driving the vehicle until the problem is fixed. If you continue to drive the vehicle as is, you will exacerbate the problem. Dumping unburned fuel into the exhaust due to a misfire will overheat and kill your catalytic converter. A more serious problem like a bent valve can eventually cause you to crater your engine (i.e.: completely destroy the engine).
