Been having trouble with my Hyundai for over a year. It's got 206,000 mi on it. But I like the sound of motor and transmission. So I replace the alternator, starter ,battery and some cable that's 8 inches long that keeps car from not starting. That cable was over 200 dollars. I can't get it registered because it failed emissions. It throws codes. So Feb 2025 mechanic says it's the purge valve. Spend 250 on that. 2 days later the check engine light is on again. Another code gas tank cap. 25 dollars. Didn't shut off the check engine light. Gave up after that. Got insurance on car but no registration. The car runs good though. Those codes keep me from getting it registered. Don't want to spend thousands on getting it fixed. Another guy said its the vapor sender ,,400 bucks. I say do I get a guarantee that the code is erased. He says no. And it may cost more money. I asked DS for help here. I call around all morning and find a guy who will check it out for me. He tells me it could be 15 thing that's causing the problem. He mentioned the charcoal canister which I knew of from the internet. But this guy was the only one who told me about 15 potential problem sites. No one else did. I have an appointment next week. I hope he finds it. I called the state, if I put 450 into a repair and it eliminates a code, they wll let me slide. And I get to register it. I hope.
Did it work?
