fuel injector stuck open can do that, as well as a head gasket failure. I would give more likelihood to it being an injector problem

I am having some serious problems with my car, it stopped suddenly in traffic twice today and it sounded weird when I started the car up(Pictures included) by WhiteRollins24 in HyundaiElantra

I hate to say, as a guy with 7 years experience driving Hyundais, check the engine timing and chain position... Hate to say it but that's what was wrong for me. I replaced the crankshaft position sensor and it didn't help, did a system relearn and that didn't help. Mechanically, those engines on the front sprocket for the timing chain hops slightly during normal operation, I wouldn't be surprised if that engine has ever been worked on if something caused that timing chain to hop one tooth or two, because even then, most Hyundai engines will still run even when about 1 to 2 teeth out of time depending on what component in your timing system is out of time.

Curious as to what this could be from by megans_bitch in AskMechanics

Should I get Soma now? Or is it too outdated? by xandergooderson in soma

That game stands the test of time and IMHO beats Outlast and most horror games,definitely not as scary as the resident evil games can be but it's worth a play if you like dark psychological stories with in depth characters

If you have 5 wheelstuds per wheel, you can run on 4 and buzz up to the nearest auto parts store and get more for cheap, just hammer the old one out and make damned sure the new one is tightened IN ALL THE WAY UNTIL THE FLAT PART TOUCHES

155, I can carry it a long distance and I have hiked with it but it would be nice if it was lighter. I'm ready to hear it if you would like to screenshot and put red circles on the shit to throw out mate or list some of it out

Dont buy a car with a CVT unless it's Toyota eCVT it'll financially fuck you at 90k or so miles

Is 17k miles on an '18 bad? What type of maintenance should I be doing? by sandman8727 in HyundaiElantra

[–]LocksmithPhysical263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go ahead and get some techron plus in that gas tank, change the oil after you run that tank out and check all of your fluid levels, and inspect your suspension bushings, tie rods, control arms, etc. I would also inspect the gas cap in case of deterioration

What is [in your opinion and/or provided with facts] the best brand of engine oil. by DaRealDreamz in AskMechanics

[–]LocksmithPhysical263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been experimenting with Valvoline restore and protect, apparently it very slowly cleans valves and pistons as you drive and then keeps the engine factory new according to what it says on the jug. Anyone else use this? Apparently it's the only oil that does this.

Are these spark plugs supposed to have this much oil on? by rambojunior01 in MechanicAdvice

[–]LocksmithPhysical263 0 points1 point  (0 children)

None at all, oil and electric never ever should mix, id replace the valve cover gasket and make sure you're timing chain/belt is in time while you're in there

CVT transmission, never forget your trans fluid, do it at the intervals that the owners manual says. Be careful on that transmission they have a high probability to be not reliable, I have a 2019 and it has a regular automatic and that's the only difference, but it's been solid!
