1999 Hyundai New owner
 
Hi,
i just bought a 1999 Hyundai with 55,000 miles on it. I drove it for
only 150 miles and some things happened. 1 the check engine light came on.
Next about 10 min later, no heat would blow out. only cold air would blow.
Im in wisconsin and as you could imagine I need heat. Any suggestions?
Also fuel gauge does not seem to move fast when you fill it up and never
goes to the full mark.
Thanks
Mark

Isn't the 'fuel gauge does not seem to move fast', a good
thing?

with the fuel light, make sure you click your gas cap at least 3 times

Engine still running? Cold air out of the heater after warmup
ususally means very low coolant. Have you checked this? Was the car
a private sale? If so get it to a mechanic and have him go over it
thoroughly. I would not be surpised at a blown headgasket.
