Engine Codes from data port - odd results

    My '99 Hyundai Elentra (automatic) (94k miles) started misfiring badly upon
    startup this afternoon. Stopped, checked the oil. It was fine. I HAD
    gotten gas about 30 miles before, but it didn't clear up... finally I
    stopped at a parts store... they hooked up a diagnostic tool to the data
    port and it read the following codes:

    P1613 Manufacturer's Control Aux Input Aux Output
    P0304 Misfire #4
    P0722 Speed Sensor Circuit - no signal
    P0734 Gear 4 Ratio Incorrect
    P0733 Gear 3 Ratio Incorrect

    The misfire #4 matched one hunch that maybe the sparkplug/wire was fouled or
    bad..

    I was wondering if the P1613 might be why it shifts oddly/races between 25
    and 35 mph.

    Anybody know whether the other 3 errors might just be due to the lack of
    power caused by the misfiring 4th cylinder? Can't say what that Gear Ratio
    would mean otherwise.

    Any input would be appreciated.
    Tia!

    P1613 is an error on the tcm-ecm communication line. Don't sweat it too
    much if it clears and doesn't come back.

    P0722, P0733, P0734 represent your shifting issue.
    P0722 indicates a problem with the output speed sensor on the trans.
    P0733, P0734 represent "slipping" in 3rd and 4th gears, but the computer
    can't properly analyze this without proper data from the output speed
    sensor.

    Replace your pulse generators (input/output speed sensors together) and
    don't reattach the connector to the mounting tab on the trans mount. This
    will help prevent excessive wire tension. There's a technical service
    bulletin with more detail at www.hmaservice.com.

    Thanks! I shall look online and find where to order the input/output speed
    sensors.

    I could not find the part name associated with the output speed sensor on
    the tranny in the on-line parts places. What else might they call these?
    Thx!

    I should clarify... for some reason my browser can't get the menu on the top
    of the service page. It might tell me the part there, but I am stuck.
    Thx.

    Sorry. I forgot to mention it only works with exploder. Hyundai calls
    them "pulse generators." Many dealers will have them in stock.

    Got the part & got on line to see where it goes... Using a different
    computer I was finally able to see the technical service bulletins on the
    subject... hope that the TCM isn't bad too since the car's manufacture date
    is October 1998, which puts it within the range of vehicles with the TSBs
    stating that the TCM may need to be replaced.... wonder how much THAT costs.
    (cheaper than a new tranny, I would surmise...)
    Thanks, I hope that the cable fixes it all!
