99 Sonata Hesitation

Discussion in 'Hyundai Sonata' started by The Empowerment Group, Jul 23, 2006.

  1. Not sure how much info to give and still stay brief.

    99 Sonata 2.4 4cyl

    Bought about 1 year ago. Had check engine light: Code was for bank 1 lean.

    Car ran fine. Reset light - stayed out for a day or two.

    Several months later performance began deteriorating until car choked out
    and died

    eventually replaced catalytic converter; much improved but some hesitation

    hesitation continues especailly when cold; when was car has trouble
    upshifting

    and is especially unresponsive around 2000 rpm

    If I floor is it will shift but when I let speed/rpm drop to 2000 or so it
    wants to bog down.

    Someone has suggested O2 sensors.

    HELP!!!!

    Thanks in advance.

    The front O2 sensor is possible, but doubtful. Is the check engine lamp on
    now? If so, have the code read or a diagnosis done. This code will be the
    largest hint to the cause of the issue.
