    It jumping out of gear   could be from not being completly in gear.  Hyundai Tucson 1.6 petrol 201 has had a number of problems with the Hyindia some are listed in Edmonds.   Have the garage check for correct level of transmission fluid.

    There could be a couple of things.  Does the front signal light work?  If so then check the contacts on the rear drivers side and the electrical connection.  Sometimes a ground goes bad {not making correct connection}  The bulb may look good but at times it is hard to tell if the figament inside the bulb goes bad,   Let me know?

    Have seen this happen where the the temperature blend door actuator goes bad,  Do you hear any noise when you change the temperature settings?

    The  actuator should be on the passengers side on top behind the glove box.   I don’t know if you can see it without taking the glove box out.  If you can see it see if you can hear it  when you change your tempeture settings

    On all cars made after 1995, there are 2 types of oxygen sensors,  code PO420 has to do with the exhaust. what is referred to as an “upstream” and “downstream” sensor. The upstream sensor does most of the work in determining the air/fuel ratio of the vehicle, while the downstream sensor is located after your catalytic converter, and it’s there to monitor exactly how your converter is performing

    Cars after 1995 have sensors,  the PO420 can mean the sensor after the converter or after the converter.  It is telling you there could be  something wrong  with the exhaust readings.   I would check the sensor before the converter first. That would give you the PO420 reading  Look at the site the administrator wrote.   It will tell you what code PO420 and PO421 mean.

    Try some throttle body cleaner,  sometimes a little dirt in the throtle can cause it.

    2003 silverado. It could be the fan is bad. I come from a old school and would start with the heater control fan switch then work from there did the fuse blow? With the heat control on wiggle the fan control switch a little back and forth from low speed to high and listen if you can hear anything happening.

    Ok,  If it was me I would verify you have spark.  You said you tried dumping gas in it.  I don’t suggest  for people to use a very little of starting fluid.   Just enough to see if it starts.   If it does I would start by checking the fuel pressure.   With it being a 92 I have seen cars fuel filter clog up from ethenal buildup.

    Engine Coolant system service/fluid flush, Transmission Fluid Flush & replaced front/back shocks.   the repair ticket does not say they did not do anything with the a/c   most times with a coolant service they don’t check the a/c system.

    If you are asking about the automatic transmission fluid,  I presume the car is level.  the fluid I believe is lower than the rear housing of the transmission.  With the shaft out and you tilt the car back then you should get transmission fluid coming out the end.

    check the pressure in all the tires.   this could be why the check engine light is on.  There is sensors in the wheels that relay information to the computer with refernce to tire pressure.   Scan the car and see what error codes come up.

    If it started happening little by little I would look at the starter or started solonoid
