The car was working perfectly fine I drive it for work all the time and one day it started shaking weirdly. A couple days later the check engine light turned on. It was throwing the code that was pointing to "misfiring in the 3rd cylinder" We changed all the spark plugs, 3rd cylinder coil pack, and switch the coil pack to see if it would say a misfiring in a different cylinder. We then took it to a mechanic saying that it is the high pressure fuel injectors and that he has seen this problem with other Hyundai Tucson around the same year as us and that there was a bulletin on it.
