Hyundai Azera
Hyundai's full-size front-drive saloon, sold in North America as XG300 and XG350 before the Azera name arrived in 2006 and as Grandeur everywhere else — one nameplate under three badges, and the year decides which car you are standing in front of. The XG is a Sigma or Delta V6 with a conventional port-injected fuel system; the TG and HG move to Lambda V6 and Theta II four-cylinder engines, and from 2011 to direct injection, which changes what a lean or misfire code means and puts carbon on the intake valves that a port-injected engine never accumulates. The 2.4 Theta II here is the same engine family as the Sonata's, so its connecting-rod bearing history and the knock-sensor detection system retrofitted for it apply to this car too.

HG 2011–2017
Direct injection arrives on the Lambda II V6 and the Theta II four, and a hybrid joins in 2013 — so a lean-bank or misfire code on this generation wants the carbon question asked before the sensor is replaced.

IG 2016–2022
Grandeur only outside Korea's export markets by the end; the 2019 facelift moves to Smartstream engines and the N platform, so a 2020 car shares little of its running gear with a 2017 one.

Service information
Information, not instruction
CarGeek is a reference, not a service manual. Its pages are written from public sources and from what other people have found, never from a manufacturer's own service information, so they can be wrong or incomplete for your particular vehicle. Some of what they describe carries real risk: high voltage, fuel under pressure, stored energy, hot and moving parts.
Have anything you intend to act on checked by a trained person against the manufacturer's own procedure for your vehicle. Nothing here replaces that procedure.

What makes one worth reading:
- The car — make, model, year and engine. The same fault behaves differently on each.
- What you measured, not only what you replaced.
- What actually fixed it — or that nothing did, which is worth knowing too.
