Okay, it's been a while, but that's because i'm more of a reader.
(and i been busy rebuilding my motorcycle)
I'm Nico aka the C.U.Later, proud member of the Hyundai Club Nederland and the Hyundai Street Tuning Club here in Holland
I have a (technical) question!
My Coupé (yep, that's how a Tiburon is called here in Holland)
(it's a 2nd generation) acts funny when i try to start it.
In the morning after a good nights rest (but recently i found out it also does it with a warm engine) at first the starterengine turns for about 20 seconds, but the engine does not start. (it used to start right away) So i turn back the key and try again, then the starterengine turns and locks, like if it hasn't enough power to overcome the compression. (so again i turn back the key and start again) It does that several times and then after, sometimes, 5 or 6 times the starterengine keeps on turning again and (after about 6 till 10 seconds starting time, so much longer than nomal) the engine finaly the comes to life.
At first i thought it was the starterengine, (worn out Bendix or so)but my garage said that wasn't it.
They (it's not a Hyundai dealer, they tend to repair al sorts of cars) said they attached a loose connecter and started the engine about 20 times with no problems.
But, you guessed it, it still has the same problems. Then they phoned a Hyundai dealer, and there they heard that perhaps it had something to do with the key
And because my girlfriend had a key that was slightly bend she changed keys with me (she drives the car more then i do) But the problem is stil there. mad.gif
My car is equipped with an aftermarket muffler (mounted on stock frontpipe) K&N 57i kit and Iridium sparkplugs.
No other mods made to the engine, it's a '99 model with 100.000 km. on the clock
and it recently had it's timing chain (belt) replaced.
Hope someone can help me here

That's what i though, but the mechanic said that wasn't it, the starter sounds and works just fine.
Kinda funny, this morning it started the first time my girlfriend turned the key sad.gif

Today i picked up my car at the garage, the starting problem is finaly solved.
Turned out that both the crankshaft position sensor and the camshaft position sensor were broke !
So it wasn't the starterengine after all!
