where are the oxygen sensors located.Have 66000 miles on the motor and
they haven't been replaced.Any help would be appreciated |
Re: replacing oxygen sensor 99 accent
motors don't have 02 sensors, engines do =-)

Re: replacing oxygen sensor 99 accent
well im a twit, just woke up .... sorry i missed what car ;P
same as ours, one is on the exhaust manifold/c converter open the hood and on your right of it youll see it towards the side. the other one is on the exhaust pipe behind the engine.. why do you want to replace them? are u getting a engine light? ours has over 100 000 miles and we still have our origional 02 sensors "Smooth Boi" <slendersmooth21@webtv.net> wrote in message news:22553-43E1791C-1644@storefull-3132.bay.webtv.net... > where are the oxygen sensors located.Have 66000 miles on the motor and > they haven't been replaced.Any help would be appreciated > |

thanks for the info.Yes the engine light is on,the gas mileage has
dropped[despite tune up],and there's a strong smell of gasoline from the car. |

The difference from a bad oxygen sensor will show up on a HC analyzer. The PCM will not just start dumping gas into the cylinders. I'd suggest that you have someone knowledgeable look at the vehicle, and figure out where the gas leak is that's bad enough that it's affecting your mileage. It could be a leaky injector, or many other things. If you smell gasoline, you are literally sitting on a disaster waiting to happen. |

That's a pain. I currently own my first Hyundai ('04 Sonata) and I like the car - should say my wife likes *her* car. I know this only applies to the'06, but it seems there's an increasing number of not-so-routine things being required by Hyundai to maintain the warranty. Some things I can understand, like the timing belt, although a chain would have made that a moot point. At some point though, the maintenance being mandated by Hyundai in order to keep the car under warranty coverage is going to hit the point that it's more expensive to keep the warranty up than to repair any other car. O2 sensors should never be a warranty requirement. They don't fail at alarming rates in cars today and Hyundai should be able to put sensors in that are as reliable as any other manufacturer. In all of my years of driving cars that are equipped with O2 sensors, I have only had to replace one, and that was back in the early years. -- -Mike- mmarlowREMOVE@alltel.net |

I keep my maintence records in Excel and when I added in all of the Hyundai required items, the list was nearly twice as long as my Chevy truck and Dodge minivan. This 100,000 mile warranty may be a lot more costly than meets the eye. Matt |

Re: replacing oxygen sensor 99 accent
This beckons a question - is it possible that there IS the same requirement
on, say '04's or '05's? For that matter, is this a requirement for other models like the Elantra, or the XG350/Azera (which also happen to have the 100,000 mile warranty). With me owning one Hyundai and one Kia (which also makes a big too-doo of its 100,000 mile warranty), I am understandably curious.
