2001 Hyundai Santa Fe 2.4L Original problem – Car ran fine for 122K, then, from a cold start, I drove 2 miles and suddenly, without warning, lost power and began to lurch. I got to the side of the road and shut it off . After one hour, tried again, started as usual …. went 1 mile and it did the same. Towed to Hyundai Dealer. The mechanic did the following: 1) new timing belt, new crank sensor --- at this point it would start & was sluggish when driven. 2) new cable from crank sensor, new serpentine belt, new coolant temperature sensor, new oxygen sensor, new exhaust manifold --- starts and is sluggish when testing, No change! 3) new cam position sensor & connector, new mass air flow sensor, and used fuel pump. There are no codes showing. Therefore, I have a mystery. The Dealer has given up! At present, the car starts fine, idles fine but has no power on acceleration. Within one mile the car begins to slow until within three miles it will stop all together. After a 30 to 60 minute wait, I can do the same again. At rest, it idles fine. In Park, it will rev smoothly, no misfire or hesitation. In Drive, I press the accelerator with my foot on the brake and it bogs down a lot.

| To all who are having problems like this check the coil pack. My '01 Santa Fe ran perfectly for 119k miles then suddenly this problem. No codes showed up, etc. It turned out to be the coil pack. Heat or age caused one of the terminals to melt. There was also indication that some shorting between the coils had occurred. This problem can mimic lots of other problems. The car feels more powerful than ever. Hope this helps someone. | |

I have a 2003 Hyundai Santa Fe that I recently purchased from a used car dealership. When I bought it I knew that the radio works fine but the display doesn't show anything. Does anyone know how to fix this or what might be causing it? (I suspect a loose wire but I don't know how to check it) Also, does anyone know how to flip the rear seat cushion to fold the back seat down flat? I tried following the directions in the owner's manual but it still doesn't work. I pull the cloth ring strap but I'm pulling so hard that I'm afraid I might rip the the strap off. Is there a lever or other strap to unlock it or something? Any suggestions are helpful. Thanks.
