Compression

WARNINGDO NOT use ignition switch during compression tests on fuel injected vehicles. Use a remote starter to crank engine. Fuel injectors on many models are triggered by ignition switch during cranking mode, which can create a fire hazard or contaminate engine oiling system.

Note. Before checking engine compression pressure ensure engine oil level is correct. Ensure starter motor and battery are operating properly.

Check engine mechanical condition using a compression gauge, vacuum gauge or engine analyzer. See engine analyzer manual for specific instructions. Start engine and allow to operate until coolant temperature is 176-205°F (80-96°C). Check engine compression with engine at specified cranking speed, all spark plugs removed and throttle wide open.

COMPRESSION SPECIFICATIONS

Exhaust System Backpressure

Exhaust system backpressure can be checked with a vacuum or pressure gauge. If using a pressure gauge, remove HO2S sensor. Connect a 1.0-5.0 psi (.07-.35 kg/cm 2 ) pressure gauge and run engine at 2500 RPM. If exhaust system backpressure is greater than 2.0 psi (.14 kg/cm 2 ), exhaust system or catalytic converter is plugged.

If using a vacuum gauge, connect vacuum gauge hose to intake manifold vacuum port and start engine. Observe vacuum gauge. Open throttle part way and hold steady. If vacuum gauge reading slowly drops after stabilizing, check exhaust system for restrictions.

FUEL SYSTEM

WARNINGAlways relieve fuel pressure before disconnecting any fuel injection-related component. DO NOT allow fuel to contact engine or electrical components.

Accent, Elantra & Tiburon

Remove rear seat and fuel pump access panel. Disconnect fuel pump harness connector. Start engine and allow to idle. After engine stalls, turn ignition off. Disconnect negative battery cable. Reconnect fuel pump harness connector. When repairs are complete and fuel lines are properly secured, reconnect negative battery cable. Using fuel pump check terminal connector, activate fuel pump and check for leaks. Repair as necessary. See FUEL PUMP TEST .

Sonata

On Sonata 2.4L, disconnect fuel pump harness connector located in trunk. On Sonata 2.5L, disconnect fuel pump harness connector located under rear seat. On all models, start engine and allow to idle. After engine stalls, turn ignition off. Disconnect negative battery cable. Reconnect fuel pump harness connector. When repairs are complete and fuel lines are properly secured reconnect negative battery cable. Using fuel pump check terminal connector, activate fuel pump and check for leaks. Repair as necessary. See FUEL PUMP TEST .

Accent

  1. Release fuel pressure. See «FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE»(ref-3129-S04654733162000041800000). Locate fuel filter next to fuel pump. Disconnect high-pressure fuel hose from top of fuel filter. Cover hose connection using rags to avoid spraying of fuel.
  2. Using Fuel Pressure Gauge Adapter, install fuel pressure gauge to fuel filter. Tighten fuel gauge adapter bolt to 18-26 ft. lbs. (24-35 N.m).
  3. Connect negative battery cable. Using fuel pump check terminal connector, activate fuel pump and ensure no fuel leakage exists at pressure gauge or connection. See «FUEL PUMP TEST»(ref-3129-S18629616212000041800000). If no leaks are present, start engine and allow to idle.
  4. Measure and record fuel pressure at idle. See «REGULATED FUEL PRESSURE (AT IDLE)»(ref-3129-S01749612992000041800000) table. If measurements are not within specification, go to next step. If fuel pressure is as specified, go to step 7.
  5. If fuel pressure is less than specified, check for a restricted fuel filter or fuel leak on return side, caused by poor seating of fuel pressure regulator. Replace fuel filter or fuel pump assembly as necessary.
  6. If fuel pressure is greater than specified, check for sticking fuel pressure regulator or a restricted or bent fuel return hose or pipe. Repair or replace fuel hoses and/or pipe, or replace fuel pump assembly as necessary.
  7. If fuel pressures are as specified, stop engine and check gauge for a decrease in fuel pressure. Fuel pressure should hold for approximately 5 minutes. If fuel pressure does not hold for approximately 5 minutes go to next step.
  8. If fuel pressure decreases slowly after engine is stopped, check for a leaking injector. If fuel pressure decreases immediately after engine is stopped, fuel pump check valve is not working. Replace fuel injector or fuel pump as necessary. After repairs are completed, check for fuel leaks, and recheck fuel pressure.
  9. After testing is completed, release fuel pressure. See «FUEL PRESSURE RELEASE»(ref-3129-S04654733162000041800000). Disconnect fuel pressure gauge from adapter bolt. Ensure hose connection is covered by a shop towel to prevent fuel spray. Remove adapter bolt, install NEW "O" ring, and replace with original bolt. Apply battery voltage to fuel pump drive connector terminal. see scheme 1 Check for fuel leaks.

Elantra & Tiburon

See «REGULATED FUEL PRESSURE (AT IDLE)»(ref-3129-S01749612992000041800000) table. If measurements are not within specification, go to next step. If measurements are okay, go to step 8.
  5. If fuel pressure is less than specified, check for a restricted fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator leaking fuel to fuel return side, leaking in-tank fuel pick-up hose, or low fuel pump discharge pressure. Replace fuel filter, fuel pressure regulator, pick-up hose or fuel pump as necessary. Recheck fuel pressure.
  6. If fuel pressure is greater than specified, check for sticking fuel pressure regulator or a restricted or bent fuel return hose or pipe. Repair or replace fuel hoses and/or pipe, or replace fuel pressure regulator.
  7. If fuel pressure does not change when regulator vacuum hose is connected and disconnected, check for restricted or damaged vacuum hose and/or manifold vacuum port, or fuel pressure regulator sticking or poorly seated valve.
  8. If fuel pressures are as specified, stop engine and check gauge for a decrease in fuel pressure. Fuel pressure should hold for approximately 5 minutes. If fuel pressure decreases slowly after engine is stopped, check for a leaking injector. Replace as necessary. If fuel pressure decreases immediately after engine is stopped, check valve inside fuel pump is not working. Replace fuel pump. After repairs are completed, check for fuel leaks, and recheck fuel pressure.

SUMMARY

If no faults were found while performing BASIC DIAGNOSTIC PROCEDURES, proceed to appropriate SELF-DIAGNOSTICS article. If no hard codes are found in self-diagnostics, proceed to TROUBLE SHOOTING - NO CODES article for diagnosis by symptom (i.e., ROUGH IDLE, NO START, etc.) or intermittent diagnostic procedures.
