He didn't find anything with the code reader. With the symptom I was having with the car and from what we checked, he was about 80% sure it could be the ECU. We only looked at it for about 10 Min's together.

I hate asking him for help since he works on cars all day and I always ask for help with weird problems I always get. I try as much as I can on my own until I give up.. HA!

He going to help me more, but I have to get it into my garage becase it's pretty cold here. I need to clean my garage to fit a car and get some help pushing it into my sloped driveway.

you will find wiring schematics, ignition testing procedures etc & a wealth of other hyundai tech info here [inc DTC (dianostic trouble codes) codes detected by the reader].

I will check out what you mentioned.
That's where I have been getting my wiring diagrams from, but it's hard for me to understand perfectly because of all the different ways they split off and the multiple pages it continues onto.. knowing where it splits and to what it splits to. I look at it like uhhh...


this type of fault can ultimately damage your wallet by replacing uneccessary parts.
the relevant wiring diagram & a simple digital multimeter are nearly always your best friends.

I'm glad there is the Internet. I have saved 80% on parts cost from buying online. So it wasn't as bad as it could have been , haha..

I'm pretty good with other automotive repairs and I have replaced engines, 18+ hour job heater cores, timing belts, valve seal and lots of other things.. Wiring is something I haven't moved onto learning yet.
I'm slowly learning.
