I have a 2000 hyundai elantra with 129000 miles on it. The check engine light has come on with the codes PO300, PO301, PO302, and PO304, what exactly does piston misfire mean, and the dealer was suppose to change the crank shaft sensor today, does that have anything to do with the misfire, also they reset the timing belt last week, without changing the sensor, does that cause the code to come up, I have spent almost $2000.00 up to this point, what else do I need to do, and how much more is this going to cost, or do I need to take it back to the dealer and have them fix it and cause another stink? I am at my wits end someone help me!

dont think the crank sensor s causing the problem sounds mor like fuel related issue you need to take it back to the dealer and tell them to diagnose it right the first time and stop wasting your money

Suggested Repair

Return the Elantra to the dealer for a proper diagnosis. The misfire codes are more likely fuel-related than caused by the crankshaft sensor, so avoid further unfocused repairs until the cause is confirmed.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 2000 Hyundai Elantra with 129,000 miles reports check-engine codes P0300, P0301, P0302, and P0304 after recent timing-belt work and a planned crankshaft-sensor replacement. The expert does not think the crank sensor is responsible and says the misfires sound fuel-related. The owner is advised to have the dealer diagnose the problem correctly rather than continue paying for uncertain repairs.
