winter starting & running
I own a '01 Sante Fe, and in the past week it has stalled 3 times at night when temps are -20 F. Car starts, then stalls. Won't restart. Garage said it was flooded each time, but I did nothing to cause this problem. Dealership changed air flow sensor. Happened again. This time they changed timing belt. Hope this works. Has anyone else had similar problem?

Re: winter starting & running
Cranks but no start? Usually sounds like its cranking very fast. It doesn't
get very cold down here in FL but when we get concerns like this we look at the purge control valve. If that sticks open, the intake manifold becomes flooded with fuel vapor. V6 models have a new upgraded purge control valve with a filter integrated to prevent such a problem.

Turned out to be the purge control valve solenoid. I also noticed the car was very hard to start immediately after filling up the gas tank during the time frame the check engine light was on. I basically had to pump and feather the gas for the first 10 seconds to keep it running. I assumed the cause of the check engine light and the hard starting after filling was related and when I picked up the car I asked about that, the service person said the two were not related? Sounds like they are. I guess I'll find out next time I fill up. |

And they replaced the purge control valve, not the purge control valve solenoid that I initially had stated. |
