Problem overview

Some Hyundai Tiburon owners report experiencing difficulties with their vehicle not staying started after being jumped, which may stem from several potential issues. Incorrectly jumping the car with cables connected backwards can lead to damage in the electrical system, impacting the car's ability to remain running. Additionally, a faulty alternator may prevent the battery from staying charged, resulting in stalling after a jump. Some owners also find that a malfunctioning starter contributes to their starting problems. Furthermore, an obstructed air intake can hinder airflow, complicating the starting process. To address these concerns, it is advisable for owners to have their electrical system checked for damage, inspect the alternator and starter for faults, and ensure there are no blockages in the air intake. If these measures do not resolve the issue, seeking further diagnostics from a professional mechanic may be necessary.
