I have a 2003 hyundai elantra my check engine light keeps turning on and off at random intervals. I used my reader and its a p2195 error code everything I've read points to the upstream 02 sensor but I just had it replaced 13 months ago could it go bad that quick or is it something else?

There is more to codes & vehicle systems, than replacing parts

Any part that is replaced, has to fail a test, to need replacing & the
repair has to be verified & the systems wiring tested as well ,if the
component test of a part doesn't yield results

A Generic Code Reader alone, won't be enough to work on
any vehicle

Did you use a aftermarket O2 sensor or a genuine Hyundai one? If it's an aftermarket one it may be bad or not as good as the OEM one. See here for more details and other potential causes: P0133

You would need to use a scanner to watch the data coming from the sensor. In some cases the heater circuit for the sensor is faulty, and in other cases the sensor is reading rich only. It is supposed to switch back and forth between rich and lean depending on the exhaust gas content.
The heater circuit makes the sensor hot enough to use within 2 minutes of starting the engine.

Take the car to Autozone or purchase a scanner and scan it for codes. Then do the repair and use the scanner or return to Autozone and have them turn off the light.

2003 1.6 hyundai coupe eml on, no misfire at idle but can hesitate whilst accelerating, any common faults before i check with code reader

Did the "CHECK ENGINE" light illuminate (MIL = Malfunction Indicator lamp) when this happens? If so, the code reader is your FIRST step! If you didn't get a MIL, I suspect your Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) has gone bad. If you don't know how to bench test the TPS, find someone who does (using an analog ohm meter to detect bad spots in the potentiometer).

I have a 2000 Hyundai Elantra Wagon GLS, just had alternator replaced and check engine light came on on way home. Any suggestions?

The check engine light comes on because of an error detected by the car's computer. You need to have the specific error code read with a code reader/computer.

My engine light came on. error codes show P2195 and P1166

The fuel pump is vapor locking, common problem in high temp/altitude states. Call the dealer and see if campaign t-13 applies to your car, if the car was originally sold in a low altitude state, it won't apply. I recommend the fuel pump be replaced with updated fuel pump sub assy.
