In this video I bring you along as I perform an ignition tune up on a 2010 Hyundai SantaFe 3.5. The customer also wants a new belt and tensioner installed. It's not to bad a job really. It looks more intimidating than it really is. -Enjoy!

I learned as a kid that the satisfaction that comes from doing a job well is the greatest reward for your work. Everything else, including the pay is extra. I passed that on to an 18 year old kid who had the "I can't do this" syndrome. I made him do a simple job that he thought was impossible and when he wanted to show me how he had figured out what was going wrong, I knew that he was ready to learn that lesson. He turned out to be the best helper that you could ask for. 20 years later he still has the reputation of being a top notch worker. I couldn't be more proud of him if he was my own son.

Around 160K kms, I went through this same procedure on my 2011 SF, plus removed the lower intake, fuel rails & injectors, and de-pressurized the fuel system. Reason being, the 3.5L seems to be notorious for the plastic oil pressure switch cracking and leaking oil, which lives deep in the V of the engine, between both heads. To get to it requires removing the lower intake plenum, and you either need to modify a box-end wrench, or use a bunch of extensions and the proper socket to unscrew it. After I read a few comments on a Santa Fe FB group I joined, I waited for the tell-tale sign (low oil pressure light) which happened close to home thankfully, picked up the $20 sensor and 6 spark plugs, and spent roughly 3-4 hours after work changing them out. Fair bit of warning though, some of the group members mentioned this is commonly mis-diagnosed as a rear main seal, because the oil tends to leak and drip down the backside where the engine and transmission bolt together.

@powwer123 Жыл бұрын

My 2011 3.5L has about 160,000 miles and the sensor was replaced 2 times under warranty and 3 times by me. Your lucky to make it that far without it failing on you.

I love Eric O. ! I have a doctorate in physics, and four years work experience as an hourly employee of GM in one of the engine factories. At 12:00 Eric O gives a brilliant explanation of spark plugs. That 1 mm gap is an almost insurmountable insulation against the electricity. Only because there is no choice and because it is at 30,000 volts does the electricity jump the gap. (Actually I am out of date. That voltage is what it was 45 years ago when I was a teenager. I have no idea what the voltage is today.)

My dad was a Doctor. I had a job at a gas station (when they were service stations) in high school. They actually trusted me to do minor repairs and such. Good life lessons. Worked with a guy that was half blind(father of the owner). I cut the air hose by mistake one day and was freaking out what the heck it was because it wasn't near me. He knew exactly what it was and had the air compressor turned off before I knew what happened. 😁

Nice clean, swift job - didn't look like a total rotbox either... yet! Nice to see that you and Mrs. O have encouraged Ms. O to take up work for pay. I started doing that when I was 10 - washing cars, cutting grass, watching/walking neighborhood pets etc. Helped fund my Schwinn bicycle accessories :-D ; Mom and Dad at least drove me to the bicycle store to buy the accessories though...

Yes! Dielectric grease is an insulator! Too many YT mechanics use it in the mistaken impression that it enhances conduction. Yes it's sometimes used on high current/voltage sliding contacts, but not because it makes a better connection but to prevent arcing and corrosion. It's never a cure for a bad connection.

When coil-on plugs debut, they promised higher reliability because of less moving parts over the distributor-type ignition system. Quite honestly I have never had to replace a bad coil on a distributor-type ignition system more than I have for the countless coil-on plugs. Even when the distributor-type ignition system is under greater stress than coil-on plug, doing the work of X-cylinders, and still having to the ionize the distributor-rotor gap, amazing really. Although to be fair, the weak point on the distributor-type ignition system was the ignition transistor, but at least they were, easy to diagnose, easy to replace, and cheap to replace.

Excellent video. The Hyundai dealer quoted me $700 to change the plugs in my 2012 six cylinder SantaFe. I think the plugs are about $10-$12 so the rest would be labor, shop space, etc. A couple of other videos on KZfaq showed removal of the air cleaner and sliding the battery foreward a bit, but unless my '12 is a lot different, I should be able to leave that stuff intact. I probably should replace that belt and tensioner. I'm at 150k miles and virtually trouble free but I'm pushing my luck I think. I'm a new subscriber and "do it yourselfer" as much as possible.
