have u had the crankshaft position sensor replaced?, this is the most common cause of this issue.

I hope this picture can help you. As you can see, cylinder 2 and 6 are in front, first and last.

I've had that problem on other cars if the cigarette lighter fuse is blown, you may check that.

It can take a while for that to go away, If it was not the gas cap then it wont go away, autozone could have cleared the code and it would have gone away. You can clear the code by removing the fuse for the ecm or unhooking the battery, otherwise it may take 3 to 7 starting cycles to reset.

What is the battery voltage when the engine is running? Should be above 14v. If not the alternator is dying.

See the dealer for a scan of the system.

Are you sure you didn't pick up a tank of bad gasoline?

Should be in the nee part of the dash on driver side

I would assume you have the same problem I did, where the plastic header is cracking. I put some stop leak in the radiator, and that worked for a while but then the crack got so big it wouldn't seal. I tried epoxy over the crack and melting the crack closed but it still cracked back open. Ended up just changing the radiator and I made a video showing how I did it.

Made a video showing how to replace the radiator on my 2005 Hyundai Santa Fe and in the process I show where the drain plug is.

Could be a broken joint between the muffler and the exhaust pipe. Could be a loose coupler on the exhaust pipe . you could get it checked at an exhaust service center where they can hoist car up and look under the car and give you a report on iys cause and likely cost to fix.

It's probably the driveshaft on the other wheel. More than likely the coupling in the constant velocity joint/universal joint has broken. However, check the splined end on the end of the shaft first - look for damage or stripped teeth

Be safe: Check the level of your brake fluid first. It may well be that you have low brake fluid. If your brake fluid level is okay suspect the switch activated by the parking brake. And also be aware, that it can take a few seconds for that brake light to extinguish after start up..

Hi Kris: I'd start by soaking them with penetrating oil like loosen-all or a similar product, and if time permitted, leave them for a minimum of 2 hours. Two of a mechanics friends are heat and air impact tools. - applying heat to a bolt will lengthen it, thus reducing the tension, and, if lok-tite had been used, the heat will release the bond. So, some heat can't hurt provided there are no flammable fluids or parts handy, and you don't heat or damage any nearby seals. - Use a six sided socket, and an air impact wrench. make sure you start turning it in the remove direction or it may shear off Alternate............ Heat, penetrating oil, air impact. Should work. If you don't have air, you can apply some heat and oil, then try the six point socket, and flex bar. Hope this helps.

I would look at the wiring, I have had many issues with Hyundai wiring. Usually the heat gets to the insulation and it becomes brittle and cracks, then falls off and creates a short in the wiring.
