Tiburon ignition gremlins

Anyone else ever had ignition issues with a 2000 Hyundai Tiburon, gasoline engine? Mileage is 131020 km. Sometimes it just won't start, sometimes it shuts off while driving, and sometimes it runs super rough. I checked the fuses, seemed fine. Any ideas?

I had a similar issue with my Tiburon. It was intermittent, making it a pain to diagnose. Did you happen to notice if any of the dashboard lights were acting strangely when it wouldn't start? Specifically, any flickering or dimming?

Now that you mention it, yeah, I think the dashboard lights did flicker a bit when it wouldn’t start. So, what was it for you? What did you end up doing to fix it?

In my case, it turned out to be a faulty ignition switch. Given the symptoms you've described and the flickering lights, I'd strongly suspect the same for your Tiburon. I recommend having a workshop confirm this and replace the switch.

Thanks for the tip! I took it to a shop, and you nailed it. It was indeed the ignition switch. Cost me 52€ to replace, and now it runs like a charm.
