Sudden Loss of Power on Elantra

    I have a 2005 Elantra 5-speed manual with 52K miles.

    For the most part it runs fine but all of a sudden I have a loss of power.

    If I depress the clutch and pump the gas, it picks up again. It also
    periodically stalls.

    The other night it was stalling out while I was coasting with the clutch
    depressed and the trans. in neutral so I don't think it's a clutch problem.

    It tends to happen more when it's cold but the problem is intermittent.

    Any suggestions would be appreciated.

    Thanks.

    A clogged fuel filter?

    Is the check engine lamp on?

    There are many possibilities. Without more information, I might suggest
    checking for a vacuum leak or, depending on exactly what happens and at
    what temperatures, perhaps reprogram the ECM.

    It turns out it is a computer part, and fortunately it's under warrantee. I
    don't have the part name but I will know tomorrow after they replace it in
    case anyone wants to know.

    Thanks for the suggestions.
