Hyundai Repair: engine tuneup, hyundai santa fe, factory service manuals


Question
I own a 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe 4 cylinder.  I have looked for repair manuals, which can be very costly.  Is there somewhere I can get a repair manual without a large investment?  Also, I have a code for a misfire on cylinder 1.  How do I go about changing the plugs and wires?  Where is the PVC valve located?

Answer
The factory service manuals are available online at www.hmaservice.com.  You'll need to register for a free account, and the site requires Internet Explorer.

To replace the plugs and wires, remove the cover from the engine.  You may have one large cover over the top of the engine or just a small one in the center of the valve cover.  Either way, you'll need to access the ignition components in the area in the center of the valve cover.  Once you've accessed them, unbolt and remove the ignition coils and remove the plug wires.  Then unscrew the old spark plugs and remove.  Install new spark plugs.  Reinstall the coils, and install the new plug wires.  Then reinstall the engine cover.

The PCV valve is located in the rear of the valve cover.
