2.4 Hyundai Sante Fe Cranks No Start – P0335 Code

Hyundai Sante Fe 2.4 – Makeshift Camshaft Holding Tool

I recently worked on a 2004 Hyundai Sante Fe, 2.4 Liter four cylinder DOHC (Double Over Head Cam) with 88,000 miles, towed in to our shop with a cranks but no start condition. The engine cranked over normally and sounded like it had good compression, indicating the timing belt was good. If the engine turned over too fast and sounded like it had weak compression I would have suspected a bad timing belt. Also when cranking it over, I noticed that there was no RPM (Revolutions Per Minute) reading on the tachometer.

Auto Mechanics Are the Backbone of Repair Shops

The days of the grease monkey are over. Today’s auto technician has to have qualities of an electrician, a plumber, a student, an air conditioning tech, salesman and a mechanical engineer. He must also possess common sense, be able to follow directions and have the capacity to understand complex systems in order to diagnose problems. Tech school or repair shop, learning never ends, be it in the classroom or OJT (on the job training). Without the total package, a huge selection of automotive tools will do little good.

More On Stealing Gas By Drilling Tanks

 

This is a News Report on Drilling and Stealing Gas From Tanks

One of our most popular posts was on Drill and Drain Vandals. We ran across this video on YouTube and thought we would pass it along. It still amazes me that people are willing to take the risk of getting caught stealing $5 to $90 worth of fuel. And the risk of catching themselves on fire by causing a spark when drilling the tanks. Plastic or metal tank… the drill still creates a spark inside the motor. Besides how many gas cans do they have to lug around to get all this gas they are stealing? What do you think?
