My car is a 2008 tiburon GS and a check engine light & the code showed up originally after driving around the first time after getting plates.

My dad helped me clean the o2 sensor that was there and then like 80 miles later the same code showed up (p0133).

150$ later and a NTK sensor from autozone thrown in the car, same code.

Then my dad unplugged the battery and drained the capacitors and the p0133 code came back today.

(granted it took like 2 weeks since I haven't been able drive around enough to complete the drive cycle bc i don't have my license yet)

Should I just go to like a mechanic now? Or what other things could I try and do before spending an ton trying to get help.

Hi guys,

I want to ask, do you think this part of the exhaust near the flex pipe is stock?

Edit: It's a 2007 2.0 facelift

I have bought the car recently and the end part of the exhaust is modified for sure so I am worried this is also.

It is leaking at the flex pipe and I want to fix it without welding.

But all of parts I have seen for replacing this section seem to have the pipe going to the rear (after the flex pipe) longer then what I can see under my car.

I am thinking maybe the picture for these parts is only an illustration and it is the right size after the bend in reality...

Does anyone have a source for these for the 2.7 Delta?

Dealership can only get the grommets with new bolts, and they're asking $28 each.

My oem bolts are in great condition, the washers however are toast.

Also, has anyone found any alternatives or diys to make said washers?

I drove my car on the highway for the first time and when i took my exit the brake and abs light came on. Briefly my air bag light also came on but it hasn’t come back on. The brake and abs light have been intermittently coming on and off since. I also noticed that when the lights go off, my headlights start to work again briefly before turning back off. Where do i start looking?

Is it that bad of an idea to purchase a 1997 hyundai as a daily car?

I felt embarrassed getting these headlights from the junkyard. It was a half off day and most people were getting good looking parts, duh no one (in their right mind) buys junk at the junkyard, ironically.

However the next closest car would've been something like 100 miles away and well, fuck that.
Those headlights would've probably been fogged with 20 years of sadness.

But whatever I get the headlights, go through the humility of the half hour yard line where some guy non-chudlantly takes a far step every time, as resulting that he over the course of the line surpasses my place in line. Wtf

Cue them bouncing around in my trunk for a few months, yesterday my groin fills with the manly intent of restoring them so I put my all into it.

I kinda messed up the uv coat but with the right angle you can't even tell.

Overall I'm ecstatic with how it came out :))

I just bought this car with 75,000 miles on it. Sofar I’ve taken it to my mechanic friend because the only thing I’ve seen sofar is that the AC wasn’t working and he told me I need to replace the AC compressor and I cannot find a single video of anyone doing it or really talking about it. Does anyone have any advice? I got it on Sunday so I haven’t dove into it very much but sofar love the car!

In Korea, it was sold as the Tuscani

Im needing to get my tibby running within the next 7 days before moving. Every junkyard i been to only sells it with the engine apparently which is bs and im definitely not going that route. Ive seen some on ebay but only from Australia and i frankly dont have the time. Does anybody have any leads or where i can source this part? Located near DFW Tx but can make it to surrounding states if need be. Alternator bracket for 2.7 pn# 3746037200

So i've been searching for a car lately, and this appeared out of nowhere for 2800$, and it's a 4 cylinder automatic transmission, any thoughts?

Loss of power after 3k rpm and it backfires like a mother fucker after 3k rpm, all gears the same from 1-6 and when i shut her off it sounded like change falling!?

Is that my clutch going bye bye? Im pretty decent on it and dont abuse the shit out of it? Or is it something like a cam sensor problem or exhaust problem

Hiya, i found these 2 disconnected wires, one from the back side of the passengers seat, but doesnt seem to have another wire to connect to.

And one set from the front of the passengers seat.

I had to check the harness due to the b1513 code popping up, so a short/open buckle sensor. Passengers side.

My question is. Will the bags explode if I connect the wires up? Im just scared to work with wires n stuff.

Has anyone installed it and know how to set it up?

so fun fact IM NOT ANYTHING CLOSE TO A MECHANIC , so my way of explaining things may be a bit outta context , I’m learning as I go so if you respond to this post

if u can explain it in detail I’d really appreciate it !

i have a 03’ Hyundai Tiburon Gt v6 2.7l

its got a P0302 code showing up ( I went camping 2days ago and as I was pulling out of the camp ground the car suddenly began to smell like gas and the car started puttering as I pressed in the gas , this has never happened prior to now )

i barely made it to a gas station where I put $20 bucks in and less than 20 mins later my car was on E .

There is white smoke coming from exhaust and exhaust pipe has raw fuel and possibly condensation visibly leaking from tailpipe)

I have not see anything on the ground such as drip marks or obvious wet spots showing leaks in between the front end to the back end at any point

aside from the noticeable damp tailpipe

fuel smell is extremely noticeable and consistent

car does not start up unless I tap the gas peddle repeatedly as I turn key . it does not start on the first turn of the key in ignition but it seems to catch on the second attempt of turning the key and pressing on gas peddle repeatedly ( this seems to be a consistent method)

car will drive and to my surprise has yet to catch fire( i drive it for 45 mins at 80miles a hr on cruise control (stupid I know but I was quickly running out of the fuel and had no cash on hand to refuel so pure desperation to get it home from the location in which i was camping at was my only train of thought at the moment)

(sorry I know this is a long post at this point but bare with me )

so prior to traveling to camp location this was not a “ known” issue( I’ll explain)

so lets jump back two months prior I had a code pop up for a

P0131 so I purchased a new 02 sensor ( i replaced it with a factory suggested name brand rellacemebt ~dont Recall the name ~ but it was NOT a Amazon temu bs offbrand)

code went away once replaced and all was well , in the same week i purchased a new fuel pump , spark plugs , spark plug wires , transmission motor mount , oil filter and fresh oil

had a local shop install all parts and everything was good … ( I purchased this vehicle less than 6 months ago previous owner stated the vehicle had been sitting for prolonged amount of time with out proper upkeep during this duration .

so I felt the replacements and maintenance in the areas mentioned above seemed reasonable ( even tho they may not have been necessary)

car wasnt seeming to be at its peak by any Means . It was still feeling like it was sluggish or “tired “ (does that word make sense ? Idk but to me it seemed like it was just lazy n tired )lol

so not long after the o2 sensor being replaced i statted to notice the catalytic smelling like rotten eggs any time I was on freeway or drivingover 60mph … it was strong , it eventually (matter of days ) gave me a P1166 /P1167 code .. i ignored this code due to ignorance and not

understand y the o2 would be giving me a issue if it was replaced (at the time I was unaware that there are many other reasons y the 02 would be experiencing this reading ) I thought it meant the 02 needed to be replaced ( I understand now after doing some research that the 02 usually is not the causing issue or the part that needs replacing)

so I left for my trip and all went just fine traveling there an all that

it wasn’t until i went to leave th camp location ( driving off the dirt path which had a few potholes to drive over i can’t recall any moment of hitting something under vehicle but I can’t help but to feel as though this has to be a likely culprit due to the sudden change upon exiting the dirt Path upon my final trip upon heading home , it seemed to be the same moment in which the vehicles driving suddenly shifted into a obvious difference …so it seems only reasonable to assume something must have happened underneath the car somewhere…. But I am not seeing anything that clearly shows damage when looking under vehicle …

with all this said and done… I am only getting one code .. and it’s P0302 .

any response or advice in regards to this long as$ post would be greatly appreciated and helpful.

I’ll put the freeze frames info I have ( Although I don’t understand what any of it means as of this moment (I am tryin to learn by doing the research to better understand/comprehend the context with clarity thru knowledge in this aspect more clearly as much as I possibly can . Its still gibberish and numbers now but by tomorrow I’ll have made a bit more sense of bits and pieces of the information it details )

First Turbo track day went pretty great! Running 13 psi of boost, which really threw my braking and cornering off, but it more than made up on the straights. Managed to get 0.8s faster than my previous personal best, which was with the car N/A.

The tune needs a lot of optimizing, considering I only got fueling right (almost stable 11.5 AFR during boost, 13 while off boost) just 30 minutes before we went on track

Still amazed that we can run this stuff perfectly on the stock ECU, get N/A levels of drivability and be track capable, while shoving nearly 1 bar of boost into it and making double its stock power. I really need some new and larger tires though (moving to 225/45's probably).

P.S Also a big "fuck you" to the motorcyclist who decided to overtake me in a no-overtake zone, while I was doing a left turn and dented my door 2 days before...
