engine

I apologize if this has been posted before, but I couldn't find it in a search. When I started my car at work last night I noticed that the check engine light was on. The car seemed to run fine, so I drove home and let it sit overnight. It was still on when I started up this morning so took it...

I've had my 3.8 coupe for almost 2 weeks. Twice in that time I've pushed in the clutch, put my foot on the brake and hit the start button and the engine just turns over (without starting) till I hit the button again to stop it. When the button is pushed again the engine starts right up as...

I'm embarrassed to say how long it had been, but my air filter was so dirty it was vile. There was a very noticeable power bump.

I've had my 2011 4.6 Genesis for 7 months and have about 10K miles on it. After sitting in my Garage for a couple days and on a cold (20 Degree) morning. I started it up and the Car Engine was making a rattle and shaking the car. The yellow Engine light was also flashing. I let it run, thinking...

Trying to figure out how to open the engine air filter casing on the V8 (2011), but I must be stupidly overlooking something. The owner's manual appears to show 3 release clips, but I can only find 2 - located at the rear of the casing. Releasing just those does not free-up the casing. Can any...

Hello, I'm preparing to change the oil on my 2010 3.8L coup. In going through the manual, it looks like the recommended oil is 5W-20, for better fuel economy. The temperature range for this oil is much wider than the other weights (ex 10W-30), which is better for where I live. My only concern is...

OK - here's the situation . . you're driving home, pull in the garage and you want to hear the end of the song you've been listening to . . . How? With a key, you could turn back to the "accessory" detent and the radio would keep running while the engine turned off. But with the proximity...

Interestingly, it's the 5.0L, 427hp version.

Hello Everyone, Some of you may be wondering what I've been talking about when I tried to describe the somewhat harsh noise my 3.8 V6 Genesis Sedan (2010, 4850 miles) makes under acceleration around 2000RPM. So I've posted an extensive test drive video, made on some quiet residential streets...

This is awesome! Just came across this website on another forum. They sell universal keyless touch button start systems. They have some interesting videos of the system installed on a 350z posted on their web site. This looks very interesting, I have always wanted something like this! I emailed...

Took my 2009 Genesis 4.6 to the Hyundai dealer for an oil change. Brought 12 quarts of Mobil 1 5W-30 for their use. Checked the fill level when I returned home. Waited 5 minutes as directed in the manual. Fill level looked to be nearly one quart too high. Checked the 12 quarts and...

How are they going to work this out? If the 6 speed 4.6 Tau is coming at the end of 2010, how are they going to sell the 8 speed 5.0 in early 2011? Won't they need to change the price? If so, how would they change the price for the same model year? Unless the 2011 is only going to sell for 6...

I've had my V6 for about a month. It hasn't been back to the dealer yet but when I bring it in I'll ask about this issue. When the car first starts the engine rev's to about 2000 rpm for a few seconds then settles down. I've never experienced this behavior with any other car and think it's not...

Hey everyone, Just curious what the engineering reason is behind the drag the transmission applies while decelerating between 31 thru 25 mph. The behavior I notice is what feels like a grab starting at 31 that continues down to 25 when a noticeable release occurs. It's very pronounced with my...

Started my '09 Genesis 4.6L Tuesday morning to head to work after it sat for a few days over the holiday weekend. OMG. Engine shook all over the place, Engine light was on, thought the thing was going to explode! I backed it out of the garage, stopped and pulled it right back in. No way was I...

I have a 2009 3.8 with about 16K on the clock. The check engine light came on this morning and the shop I took it to said it was the "cam position sensor." Anyone else have experience with this issue? Is there a technical service bulletin related to the cam problems? Thanks for your help, Ron

Well everything looks great according to Black stone labs:D I like to know how my engine is wearing and it seems to be doing well "SCOTT: Universal averages show typical wear levels for Hyundai's 4.6L V-8 engine after about 3,500 miles on the oil. You ran your oil just 2,500 miles and...

Changing my oil today, after removing the engine cover, I began to wonder what the chamber or box attached underneaths purpose is. It has an entry hole but there is no tube or vent that goes into this baffle. Any clue to its purpose? See pictures.

So on my way to a Docs appointment, and about 40 minutes into the ride I notice my check engine light comes on. I immediately started to panic and told my wife to look over at it:eek:. Then I started to think if I had tighten the gas cap when I filled up 2 weeks ago. So after I got out of my...

:confused:Just bought from lease 09 V-6 Genesis. Been complaining about the whining differential noise for over a year. Normal, I was told. Glad to hear some possible solutions. New problem. Car is kind of jumping when coasting/slightly accelerating. Most noticeable between 60-75mph. Slight at...
