A fuel pump check terminal is conveniently located on the engine bay fusebox, so Hyundai has already assisted us with that task. Find the "F/P CHK" on the label inside the fusebox cover. You can check if the pump is getting power when you crank it by connecting a voltmeter to the check terminal. The ...

When the engine is in motion, the VRS (Variable Reluctance Speed) sensor produces an alternating current (AC) voltage. Just off the top of my head, I don't remember what the voltage output should be at cranking speed. Imagine a voltage of around 2V peak to peak. The voltage increases in direct ...

It can be found on the engine block's front side, just to the right of the exhaust, beneath the coolant pipe.

In 2026, will your generic diagnostic tool still be able to read codes or will it also be able to scan and display data from engine sensors? If the latter, then while cranking the engine, check the RPM reading on the tool data list; this is the signal from the crank sensor and should be between 250 ...

Yeah, it's totally different from the Jag. I mean, it's surprisingly quick for a 1.8 turbo and has a pleasant sound. I'm still getting used to it; I went to Wales a few weeks ago to play around with it, and even in standard form, it handles incredibly well (too well, according to the Mrs., who was ...

I went through a similar experience six months ago with my Megane RS300. I miss the Jag's noise and power, but there are some things I don't miss, like the hefty road tax bill, the need to fill up every 120 miles, and the garage calling to inform me that they've discovered a couple of problems ...

The level cannot be accurately measured; only pressure can. Please tell me the values of the low and high pressures in the AC circuit.
The ideal low pressure while the engine is idling is approximately 30 psi. A pressure of 150 to 250 psi is considered high. The large range on the high pressure side ...

Are the keys reprogrammed? I had to get my key reprogrammed multiple times before it worked properly. I managed to lock my car once, but I couldn't open it. Resetting it would be my top priority.

Along with Carly, I performed a scan, and the results showed the following engine module errors:
Option 1E30: Boost pressure plate or boost pressure control
1E25: Speed sensor monitoring
3505: System with glow plugs

It has an exhaust leak, which could be the source of the shaking (though it doesn't ...

Hello, I just got an e39 525d (with what seems like an M57 D25 engine) and it's not running well. Even worse, there are occasions when the engine is warm and turning the key backward won't start the car, even though it usually trembles violently and makes a fairly awful noise while idling. The ...
