    How many miles? Has regular service been carried out?

    Hello,

    I have a friend with a 2000 Sonata with a problem - it hesitates when
    accelerating and I'm thinking to check:

    plugs & wires
    air filter
    poss air intake/MAF/MAP/?? (clean out if necessary)
    fuel filter?
    fuel pump (say it ain't so!)?
    run some STP/??? injector cleaner through it?

    any other ideas or suggestions? Maybe he just got a tank of bad gas & it's
    taking a while to work it out? If nothing else, is there a website
    specializing in solving Hyundai tech problems you want to direct me to?

    Thanks!

    re: hesitation problem

    i recall having a 1986 brand new corrolla with a hesitation problem

    it was apparently a common faultry manufacturing-assembly problem written about
    in consumer reports (or somewhere)

    well, it wasn't too long before the ENTIRE F'ING TRANSMISSION crapped-out

    i had to get a lawyer letter to Deerfield, Florida, where the warranty office
    is

    they finally paiid $1600 of it, and I paid a few hundred more

    document every phone call and service that is done/not done to fix the
    hesitation problem

    a couple of letters or registered letters may do the trick

    because an automatic transmission problem apparently is now developing

    but i could be wrong, and there was no correlation

    re: whether tranny is affected by chronic hesitation problem

    fortunately the hyundai trans is covered for
    100,000 miles anyhow

  5. I had that problem before and found out it was a water problem in the
    gas. I changed from a gas compagny to another and my problem was fixed.

    I don't believe this has anything to do with the tranny - I think it's just
    the engine, but thanks for your reply.
