    Hello,

    My wife was driving the car the other evening (after we just got back from
    a 250 mile round trip) and the "check engine" light came on. The car still
    drove perfectly and started fine. I took it to Autozone yesterday to pull
    the engine codes, they hooked the scanner up and they kept getting a "link
    failed" message... I ended up clearing the code(s) by disconnecting and
    reconnecting the battery and the code(s) have not reappeared.

    The vehicle is the v6 model and I just replaced the fuel regulator, spark
    plugs (Bosch Platinum +2)- along with the intake manifold gasget, and
    changed oil/filter last week. It has 60k miles on it now... any ideas?
    thanks

    for starters id yank out the bosch plugs and put in some good ngk v grooves,
    our accent ran like crap with the bosch's
    i believe theres a few schools of thought on that one, but even the hyun
    tech on the old thc site said nothing but ngks in hyundais, and our dealer..

    I don't have much help to offer without a code. Try a different Auto
    Zone.
    Some scan tools have difficulty communicating with some vehicles.

    I don't know about your theory with the spark plugs... Bosch wouldn't make
    them if they didn't work. Besides, It seems to run much better now that
    I
    pulled the champion platinums that the dealer installed 7k miles ago.

    I reset the code, and still hasn't come back yet.
