Check engine light comes on and testing shows 3rd cylinder has as fuel-oxygen imbalance. Has happened twice. Light went off the 2nd time. Brand new car. It happened at 2,500 and 5,000 miles. Had it checked by hyundai the first time and they didn't see any other problems, chalking it up to a malfunction. Someone told me it could be a bad fuel injector; bad sensor; or a miscalibration of the engine/fuel injector
