Sonata goes to full accelleration
Thought I would try here and see if I'm lucky. My girlfriend has a 2001
Sonata, 6 cylinder Engine. The engine first starts pinging and knocking, then goes to full engine accelleration. By itself. Any clue as to what that is (now that the mechanic has bent her over and fixed over $1k of crap without fixing the problem described above...) Thanks, Randy |
Re: Sonata goes to full accelleration
Check the cruise control cable. I had to fix one of these because I jacked
the engine while replacing the timing belt and it pulled the cable out of its crimp. Another idea is the throttle position sensor, but these have been pretty reliable on the Sonata, and shouldn't be causing anything as dramatic as you're describing. Beyond that, take your car to someone who has a clue. It seems pretty obvious that if you've spent $1000 toward fixing this problem and that it's no better, that the place you have it has no real idea what the problem is and intends to charge you for every guess they make. |
