2013 Hyundai Elantra Limited - Engine Malfunction Light and Vibration
10

Asked by SunnyD2910 May 25, 2019 at 09:41 PM about the 2013 Hyundai Elantra Limited FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Hi,
I have a 2013 Hyundai Elantra which has engine malfunction light on car
also vibrates when idle. Upon getting it checked by dealership, they told me:
1. Ignition Coil#2 Shorted.
2. Spark plugs (all) need to be replaced
3. Complete Fuel System cleaned.
I bought the car home and replaced #2 coil and all spark plugs. I saw in a
video that the second coil from left if #2 so I replaced it.  Now the light is still
on, vibration has reduced a lot but not completely gone (happens when i put
car in drive but not running). Can someone tell me:
1. If I replaced the right coil?
2. Am I missing something - Do I need to replace other coils too??
3. Are fuel system concentrates enough to clean fuel system?
Any suggestion would be highly appreciated.

Same thing is happening to my exact car as we speak. Did you figure it out?

Hey Olivia, yes I did. The continuous vibration after coil change means the right coil was not changed. The dealer had listed incorrect coil #. So, I started testing others one by one. Once you change a coil you will see the result immediately. The light may not go off but the vibrations will stop once u start the car.
