The engine check light has come on in my 2005 Hyundai Tiburon, GS. It only has 11,200 miles. Any ideas aas to what the problem could be, or if this is a common issue with this model. The gas cap was secure. The Hyundai dealers cannot look at it until more than 3 weeks from today, and I just purchased the car, used, 2 days ago.

There are hundreds of different codes that the computer could have stored. You will need an exact coed number to help narrow down the issue. Some large chain stores will do this free iof charge.

A lot of vehicle manufacturers have a much longer warranty period (5 years unlimited mileage) on emmision related parts. It is worth the call to find out their policies.

Good luck and let us know what you find. :)

Suggested Repair

Have the check engine light code read, which some chain stores do free, and use the exact code to diagnose the cause. Also ask Hyundai whether emission-related parts are still covered by an extended warranty.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a recently purchased 2005 Hyundai Tiburon GS with 11,200 miles reports that the check engine light is on. The gas cap is secure, and the dealer cannot inspect the car for more than three weeks. The expert says an exact stored trouble code is needed because many codes are possible, notes that some chain stores scan free, and suggests checking emission-parts warranty coverage.
