The guy on the other site gave you info you probably dont understand.
Raz put it in simple terms for you. No, you can drive it for a while but I would not wait too long.

The codes are the cause of the pump tripping and might cause difficult starting after refuelling.

It could be a faulty solenoid that would not be too difficult to repair but if it is due to clogged vacuum hoses of the EVAP system, that might take some time which means it might cost a few labor hours.

2004 Hyundai Tiburon 6 cyl Automatic 100k miles

I just bought a used 2004 hyundai tiburon. It has about 100.8k miles and it was taken to a mechanic before I bought it and came back with no issues. My check engine light has recently come on, what could be the issue?

Hi, it could be 101 things, the only way to be sure is to bring it to autozone or your local parts place, and have it scanned, jot down the trouble codes and bring them to me for further diagnosis

Engine Performance problem
2003 Hyundai Tiburon 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic

Malfunction Indicator light is on.

When putting fuel in the fuel tank, the gas wants to back siphon up anbd out of the fill tube neck.

What would be the most likely cause of this problem.

Need to have trouble code(s) retrieved since the light is on, but most likely its a fuel tank vapor venting issue

Hi,

I have been fighting this problem for a month or so. I swapped my fried tib motor with a newer Sonota motor and now I cannot get the check engine light to turn off.

First, I had a p0031 code for the O2 sensor bank1. The car ran very good though. It turns out that I had the signal wire connected wrong for the O2 sensor. Once this was fixed, the car runs very bad now.

With the o2 sensor connected correctly, I have very poor acceleration until around 3k rpms where the car will pick up nicely. It idles roughly around 500 rpms. There are 6 codes now: p1166, p300, p301, p303, p305, p174.

If I disconnect the o2 sensor, the car will run fine and of course throw the p0031 code. I have cleaned the MAF sensor and replaced the PCV valve. If I spray starting fluid around the air intake and manifold, there is no idle acceleration.

At this point, I do not know what else to check.

Thanks,

Shawn

Is the oxygen sensor OEM part? If so check wiring back to the computer

No. The one in there now is after market. I replaced the OEM sensor thinking that was the issue. The behavior was identical with both the OEM and after market sensors.

I got the wiring color code from the dealership last week, so I am confident it is connected correctly. And all the voltages seem correct.

P0174 Lean fuel condition could be caused by one of the following below:

1. Vacuum leaks

2. EGR and PCV valve.

3. Low fuel pressure.

4. Dirty fuel injectors.

5. Mass Air Flow Sensor.

6. Oxygen Sensor.

I have an 03 hyundai tib. GT with a 6-speed manual in it. The speedometer doesn't work (neither do the odometer or cruise control) and the previous owner replaced the trans sensor twice. The speedometer sometimes works for a while (during which time the odometer and cruise work), then flutters around, then just drops and stops working. ABS light randomly comes on as well, previous owner replaced the front right sensor and that seemed to help, the light flickers on and off whenever it feels like it. When gas is low the gauge floats between empty and wherever it actually is, previous owner thought it was a bad float. Check engine light is on due to an emissions code, and recently has started throwing a crank cam code, I don't know the number but it sounds like a bad crank sensor - Sometimes the RPMs will drop but if you are idling it will die but then start back up. If not it just drops out for about half a second, then until you shut the car off and let the computer reset it wont go above 3k RPMs, gimp mode I think, but it stops once you restart the car. It is also leaking a bit of oil from the exhaust gasket

Scan for codes to see what is wrong first. Have a pro do it it may be a bad dash which can be rebuilt. Check for vacuum leaks and check fuel pressure with a gauge auto parts rent it. Oil leaking onto manifold may be valve cover or a head gasket leak or coming from another area working it's way down like at back or front of engine. It's up to you what is wrong with car an dhow much to fix.

When it rains outside my check engine light comes on. A day or so after it stops the light goes off. What could be causing this?

The "check engine" light is an indicator for a system that monitors many electronic functions in the system, also called the "malfunction indicator lamp" (MIL). It can come on for any of hundreds of different causes from any of the systems that the computer monitors. Some are very important and can lead to further component or engine damage and some are emissions related not as serious but still a problem and need to be repaired.

Your first step is to have the computer scanned to retrieve the trouble codes that were set when the check engine light came on. Those codes will give you specific information about what the computer saw and will get you pointed in the right direction to find your problem. With a 1996 or newer and some 95 cars and you have an AutoZone or Advanced auto parts in your area, they will read them for free. Once you have these code numbers, we can be a lot more specific about what your problem may be.

I just recently got the engine light on the car come on.
Scanner indicated P1124. ( Fuel trim error-System Lean)
This just happened all of a sudden.

Now the car runs fine. At high speed, no problems, when the car is say idlling,
or stuck in stop and go traffic, the light comes on again.
The rpm needle is at a constant speed, it doesn't go up and down.
When in the car, you can feel that the idling is not smooth, it's slightly rough, very hard to notice.
Out of the rear tailpipe you can hear the engine misfiring or some sort, or rough idling.

Is the p1124, the actual sensor that's bad, or it could be other sensors that might be bad, and triggering the p1124 code?
And where is the sensor located for the p1124 code?

Some causes listed where:
low fuel pressure
failed fuel pump
Vaccuum leak

Could it be any of those listed above?

I'm not even sure where to start, any ideas?

engine idles fine but when it is in gear and gas is applied it starts to cut out and miss like the choke is not all the way open. Could this be a clogged fuel filter or is the fuel/air mixture sensor not working properly?

Go to Wal-Mart and they will hook up a reader that tells you why your engine light is on (for free). I had the same symtoms. With my Tib it was one of the cylinders wasn't firing so I changed the spark plug and the spark plug wire and everything worked fine.

I bought my car 6 months ago knowing there was a transmission problem, incorrect 4th gear ratio, where the seller told me "the overdrives going bad" so I do not drive in overdrive, ever. A month after I bought the car when I had the car in overdrive by accident or not paying attention it would go into limp mode at like stop signs, but ever since I stopped driving in overdrive it has not happened once and my check engine light is on, but everything seems to run fine, so what my question really is, what would it cost to "fix" my transmission or take the check engine light off. Because overall I have no problems getting around but if I were to sell my car I would like to have the check engine light off.
