2005 Hyundai Santa Fe - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

Question edited for clarity and spelling of the maker 'HyunAdai'. Question moved to model category. Please don't type in all CAPS, it is considered SHOUTING and is harder to read. Ignition timing is fully automatic based on CDI ignition, the crankshaft and camshaft sensors and is checked and adjusted by the ECM. You don't say why you want to know this and there is bound to be more to the story? But you need an auto electrician and a pro grade scan tool computer to diagnose what issue you have. https://www.google.ca/search?q=auto+electrician+near+me https://www.google.com/search?q=2005+HYUNDAI+SANTA+FE+3.5l.+SPECS+for+IGNITION+TIMING ..

Very unlikely. Everything works from cylinder number 1 being at TDC on firing stroke. Crankshaft position sensor and Camshaft position sensor have to be in synch. If you have had the battery disconnected for working on it, there is a relearning process that takes a while.

maybe it needs a good old fashioned tuneup or get it scanned to see whats going on with it. how olds the air filter?

Could be a bad four-way switch.

What is the problem now?

Any codes? look you have problem code will tell you which is bad.

Most Santa Fe model from that year had traction control fitted as standard. Check the dashboard centre console. There will be a button marked like the attached image. Different car makers put them in different places. It could be anywhere from next to the gear stick to up high on the centre of the dashboard.

Yes, you get a smaller serpentine belt for it . Take off the compressor.

REmove old plug. Install new plug. Not rocket science

They should not lock the wheel however. An inspection of the rear brake assembly on both sides might show the problem. total brake repair might be appropriate on a car that age.

That doesn't sound like an ignition coil. And coils are not expensive, about $20 for most of them. There may be an ignition control module on the car (which is used to control the coil's circuit for causing spark) but I'm not sure that is what you mean. On GM cars, for instance, this part costs about $40.The word 'boot' and the 3 prong receptacle do not ring a bell with me, sorry.

Turning the wheel back and forth while trying the key should work. In the future try not to lock the ignition with the wheel turned hard.

It's called a "dead" cylinder and you did right by replacing the cam sensor. Still does it though? Do a ohm meter test on the injectors to find if one is bad. The one that shows the lowest reading compared to the rest is the bad one. Code being P0304 means it's #4 cylinder dead. IF that injector shows a low reading, replace it or have it cleaned professionally. If the test shows all injectors reading the same, 16.5 or so, none are bad. do a compression test on all cylinders, if you find #4 cylinder is on the low side with a compression test, you have a bad exhaust valve and must give it attention.

There is no "switch" the passenger airbag (referred to as a smart airbag system) is controlled by a weight sensing sensor in the seat cushion, the airbag is disabled anytime that something less than about 50 pounds is placed on the seat cushion. If you put items on the seat under that weight like a bag of groceries for instance it can confuse the system and turn off the passenger airbag. What you need to do now is contact your local dealer and make an appt. to have the system scanned to see what the problem is that is keeping the passenger side airbag disabled. Good Luck.

Possible cylinder head gasket or freeze out plug. Get the system pressure tested & properly diagnosed. Damage can result

in the fuel tank. make sure your equipped to drop the fuel tank etc.

sounds like a bad starter or loose battery connection or cable to starter could be loose
