1997 Hyundai Tiburon Engine Q&A

  • Why does my Tiburon’s check engine light come on when I start it? It's okay if your check engine light comes on when you first start your vehicle. This is just your Tiburon testing its circuits. The dash light shouldn't stay on. If it does, you might want to bring your vehicle in for service.
  • Why is my Hyundai Tiburon making engine noise? Strange under-the-hood noises can point to problems within your Hyundai Tiburon engine. Knocking or tapping could be a symptom of low oil. Whistling could mean a belt is misaligned or there's an intake leak. Squealing may be caused by a loose fan belt, and grinding could be a sign that something is wrong with your brakes — not the engine.
  • What could damage my Hyundai Tiburon engine? Some driving habits are not so great for your engine. These include driving on a near-empty gas tank, flooring the gas pedal while the car is in Park, or pushing 'the pedal to the metal' before the engine has warmed up. Help sustain your engine’s performance and efficiency by staying miles away from these bad driving practices.
  • Can I add water to my Hyundai Tiburon radiator? Only in emergencies. A 50/50 mix of coolant and water (or a pre-mixed) coolant is recommended. However, if you must keep driving when you're out of coolant, it's better to drive with water in your coolant reservoir than nothing.
  • Why did my Tiburon engine suddenly stop? Reasons your Tiburon car engine may suddenly stop include engine overheating, electrical troubles, mechanical issues, ignition system problems, faulty sensors, and low fuel.
