Hello I'm Rick from just answer sorry to hear about your Santa Fe issues, if you see a phone call request you may choose to ignore that unless you would prefer a phone call, so it is misfiring at idle?

I just had my car water pump and timing belt done today as the water pump was linking and now that I had that done. My car is idling hard. Scanned my car and now I'm have misfires P0303 P0301 and P300. What is the cause of this
Automotive Expert
Unfortunately it sounds like the timing must be off by a tooth or so,as long as the plug wires are correct and there is no vacuum leaksThe p0300 and any other P0301 302 303 etc ...would indicate cylinder misfires

I know that. I had them before and I had to get the spark plugs and coils changed last yearThe mechanic that I went to today is closed until Monday. Would it be ok to drive to work and bring it to him to him after work
Automotive Expert
It is possible by disturbing the coils, that one of them may have failed again but seeing as you just had the timing belt service done it seems to me like it would be off a toothIf it is not misfiring that bad and it's not at a lot of miles to drive back and forth I would say you would be okay and if the mechanic is honest he will take care of it

Coolant doesn't circulate and is leaking into coolant tank
Hello. If the coolant only leaks when the engine is running, then it is typically a failing water pump (https://www.yourmechanic.com/article/symptoms-of-a-bad-or-failing-water-pump). This is the most common thing to leak under these conditions. The water pump should be checked for signs of...

Hi there. Check the fuel pressure on the fuel rail and see if there is at least 30 psi. If the fuel pressure is low, then either the fuel filter is plugged or the fuel pump is not producing enough...
engine switch
The cost to replace the engine may exceed the value of the vehicle. It will cost less to replace the engine with a used one versus overhauling the existing engine.
