HELP!!!

Bought a 2001 from a used car dealership about 2 months ago. A week later it started acting funny. It would often race the rpm's about 2000 when at at stop light and then others times would act like I was out of gas when I would take off. Sputtered and then finally run normally. Then other times it wouldn't start and just crank over and over. After 10-15 times it would fire up and then act like nothing was wrong. It was a total crap shoot whether it would start or not each time.

Took it back to dealership and supposedly their mechanic installed a new fuel pump. Ran like a champ for about another two weeks and then exact same symptoms started showing up.

Autozone guy said there may be water in lines. Tried their stuff to remove it. Nothing. Tried injector cleaner. Nothing. I really don't have a clue what to do now. Really don't want to pay somebody $100 to hook it up to a diagnostic machine just yet. Anyone have any suggestions???

Thanks!

My Santa Fe did the same thing. Less than a hundred bucks to have fixed. The temp gauge is not telling the computer that the car is warm so it gives more gas to keep the car running. This makes the engine flood and stall when it is started. The dash display never read wrong on mine but it is the gauge that talks to the computer.

My gf's Sante Fe encountered this very same scenario and eventually got a CEL. I took it to Autozone so they could plug their scanner in and read the code. I don't know the exact fault code produced but it pointed to a faulty coolant temperature sensor. I was out the door for a ~$30 part.

Total time of replacement was 10min including pulling my tools out. Very easy fix.

Hope this helps.


-Cheers
Jake
