The "EPS" stands for Electronic Power Steering. There are a couple Technical Service Bulletins related to the EPS system published by Hyundai. The only way to find out if any of these bullitins apply to your problem, you must FIRST scan your onboard computer network to gather the fault codes that set when the system turned the light on. Then again, there may also be a problem that is not addressed by ANY of the bulletins.....Proper diagnosis required.

The same thing applies for your Check Engine light. There are currently over 600 possible reasons why the check engine light could be coming on in that vehicle. Many of these possible faults can cause your engine and transmission to go into "reduced power" or "limp-in" mode and cause the symptoms you are describing. The ONLY way you are going to find out which possible reason is causing the light to come on is with a computer network scan....Unless you really want to work your way through over 600 "GUESSES".

SOURCE: Engine light is blinking and it runs very rough/low power in gear.

Check the coil pack. Same symptoms on mine. It went at 74,000.
You can get the resistance specs from a shop manual. I have been told the plastic engine cover traps heat and makes short life of the coil pack. I removed the top engin cover, cosmetic only after replacing mine. You will probably need spark plugs also they are probably fowled by now. If you have not changed spark plug wires in awhile in would not hurt.

SOURCE: 2008 Hyundai i30. 2.0 litre petrol.

Interesting problem.. since not US spec. Is there a 'remote keyless (fob)' programmed for this vehicle? That's the only way to DE-arm the immobilizer (anti-theft) feature (based on US specs). Unless you have this key fob (keyless entry remote... which must also be programmed for this vehicle), the only other way is wait 5 minutes with the existing key in the ignition, then it should start (US specs). You will still need to have an 'ACTIVE' keyless remote programmed for this vehicle... otherwise, you'll continue to run into this problem.

SOURCE: check engine light is on in my 2005 Elantra newly maintenanced

Check your engine oil and break oil weather it is in below low level or full, if it has in low level get an engine oil for your car module and pour it. otherwise go to authorized Hyundai service centre and check for it.

SOURCE: vehicle wont change up into gear reverse gear not

P0734 - 4th gear incorrect ratio. P1529 Malfunction Indicator Lamp Request. Problem is in the transmission.
Take/Tow your vehicle to an authorized Hyundai dealership and pay the diagnostic fee... they will tell you exactly what the problem is and the cost of parts/labor to fix it... at least this way you'll know what the problem is and what's required to fix it.

Driving home tonight all of a sudden the EPS like came on the Water light Engine light and the RPM needle wont move??

I think you have answered your own question here as modern cars use a computer to change gears and their is a big electrical plug on the side of the gearbox and its highly probable that this plug is wet ,it should dry out after a couple of days hopefully if not you will have to jack the car up and disconnect the plug and blow it all out with a airline but just a natural drying process should do the trick

The car is running fine, but the EPS light came on and I could hardly steer it. I have a little over 50,0000 miles on a 2008 elanatra Hyundai?

Hyundai has electric assisted power steering, not hydraulic, and I know the
new Sonata has some steering issues. Better bring it into Hyundai especially
since you're still under warranty. Don't fool with this, since the car is extremely
difficult to steer if you loose the assist.

It is located under the alternator. If you are looking down at the engine, it is to the far left. If you are under the car it is to the far right before the oil pan.
