Instructions

Things You'll Need:
Fuel-line disconnect tool
Rag
New gasket
New fuel pump
Flat head screwdriver
Ratchet and socket
The assistance of a friend (only when you are ready to remove the back seat)
Rubber hose plugs
Two adjustable wrenches
1

Locate the fuse panel under the hood of your vehicle, then open it and remove the fuel pump fuse with your hands.
2

Start your car and allow the fuel system to depressurize by allowing the car to idle until the engine dies.
3

Reinstall the fuse, then disconnect the battery with a ratchet and socket. Drain the gas from the gas tank with a siphoning kit.
4

Remove the back seat by unbolting the base with a ratchet and socket and lifting the seat out with your hands. The bolts are located on either side of the seat near the base. You will also need the assistance of another person to lift the seat out safely.
5

Remove the wiring harness by gently pulling it from the connector, and detach the rubber grommet with a flat head screwdriver. Unbolt the fuel tank cover with a ratchet and socket, remove it with your hands, pull the wires through the grommet, detach the fuel line hoses with a fuel-line disconnect tool, and lift the hoses out. Cap the hoses with rubber hose plugs.
6

Reach directly into the gas tank, then remove the fuel filter using two adjustable wrenches, placing one on either side of the fuel filter. You will recognize the fuel filter by its filtering paper cartridges.
7

Install the new filter, then follow the previous steps in reverse to complete the installation. Refill your gas take when finished

SOURCE: how change fuel filter for hyundai tucson 2008;

The filter is not serviceable. There is no filter, per se, it's a screen sock at the bottom of the fuel pump inside the fuel tank - no replacement required in its lifetime.... unless contamination occurred, then you'd want to replace the entire assembly/pump, not just the screen sock.

SOURCE: I want to buy a 2008 Hyundai Tucson wheel (rim).

If you're looking for a spare, try checking a junk yard/wreck yard (cheapest bet),depending on where you live, check the local auto listings (In my area we have the Smart Shopper where people list various things, spare tires included) otherwise if you want to buy new contact your local Hyundai dealership.

Where is # 1 cylinder located on a 2008 Hyundai Tucson

The location of the number 1 cylinder in a 2008 Hyundai Tucson is determined by the engine type and layout.
Hyundai Tucson 2008 models comes with 2 different engine types :
  • 2.0L I4 engine
  • 2.7L V6 engine
In both engines, the firing order is 1-3-4-2, and the cylinder layout is inline or straight.
The cylinder layout of the 2008 Hyundai Tucson with 2.0L I4 engine is inline 4-cylinder, meaning that the cylinders are arranged in a line, one after the other. In this configuration, the number 1 cylinder is typically located at the front of the engine, on the driver's side.
The cylinder layout of the 2008 Hyundai Tucson with 2.7L V6 engine is V6 engine, meaning that the cylinders are arranged in a "V" shape. In this configuration, the number 1 cylinder is typically located at the front of the engine, on the driver's side, and it's the first cylinder on the left bank.

My hyundai tucson 2008 model is turning but won't start, what might be the problem

It could be a list of problems that cause your situation. This is a partial list:
  1. NO GAS
  2. PLUGGED FUEL FILTER
  3. NO SPARK
  4. BAD DISTRIBUTOR ROTOR
  5. BAD FUEL PUMP
  6. BAD FUEL PUMP RELAY
  7. BLOWN IGNITION FUSE.
There are only three things an engine retires to run:
  1. FUEL
  2. AIR
  3. SPARK
It won't run with any one of these missing.

What parts do you recommend for a fault on my Hyundai Tucson which has developed faults?

uh oh, 1186 and 0087 are both related... fuel pump or the filter or both! either case the filter is now located inside the fuel tank

P1186 Hyundai Fuel Pressure Too Low


P0087 Fuel Rail System Pressure Too Low

"Potential causes of a P0087 trouble code may include: Weak fuel pump, clogged filter or screen, restricted fuel supply line Faulty fuel pump driver module Faulty fuel pressure sensor"


How to Change the Fuel Filter on Hyundai Tucson eHow

according to eHow, you can access the filter relatively easily. (although the pic is an illustration of something not really related to this ~ why they showing a fuel petcock that's not even on your car?)

P2112 Throttle Actuator Control System Stuck Closed

"Possible causes:
- Throttle Body Plate Binding
- Faulty Throttle Actuator
- Throttle Actuator harness is open or shorted
- Throttle Actuator circuit poor electrical connection"

older models we had the gas pedal attached to a cable to move the butterfly valve on the throttle body. Now it's this newer drive-by-wire stuff... remove air intake hose and check / clean / move the throttle body valve by hand first to see if it's binding or not

then, go from there on testing the actuator and tps
