#3028 of 3260 Elantra accelerating slow by nappyloxs Aug 01, 2008 (3:11 pm)
I have a 1999 Elantra and for the past few months it has been accelerating slow at stop signs/lights. Occassionally, it drives fine, but usually if I have to come to a complete stop it does not have any acceleration until it reaches 25-35mph. I can have my foot all the down on the gas and it will just go. It is especially bad if I am at a bottom a hill trying to go.   The check engine light is on. I forget the exact codes, but basically there is a vacuum leak somewhere and I cannot find it. It recently had an emmisions test and passed but the CO2 reading was in the 300s. Is that normal?   It had its tranny worked on twice within the 1st 5 years I had the car and has never driven as smoothly as my family's same exact elantra.   Any thoughts of what it could be? It is really starting to annoy me as today I was holding up traffic.

Replying to: nihao4587 (Jul 08, 2008 3:39 pm) Correction: the timing belt IS NOT warrantied til 90K in Calif. It is recommended that the belt be changed at 90K. Belt covered in the initial 5yr bumper to bumper warranty, but not in the 10yr/100k mile warranty.
#3031 of 3260 check engine light, says its a gas problem by dria24 Aug 21, 2008 (5:35 am)
hello, I have a 2001 elantra with 140,000 miles, its runs good, having problems with my check engine light, my mechanic says it now the AVAP system( anyone heard of this) the code reads 458 "very small leak" emission. he says there appears to be a small leak in the gas fuel system where there are two sensors and one canister, one of them has a pin hole. My check engine light will come on stay on for a couple of days then go off for about 5- 7 weeks, then return, when I fill my tank I always cut off the engine and use 89 octane gas. the car runs good, pickup is fine, in the past when the light come on there were different codes that we had fix. Does anyone know about this, the cost, and where parts can be obtained. I live in NYC and he is going to charge approx. $300.00 for repair which includes changing the two sensors and the canister, since you don't know which one has the hole. Please give me some insight on this problem asap. much thanks Replies to this message: gomst1 (Aug 21, 2008 9:28 pm) doohickie (Aug 25, 2008 3:05 pm)

Replying to: dria24 (Aug 21, 2008 5:35 am) Universal DTC (diagnostic trouble code) for a very small leak is P0456 not 458. Your EVAP system has a leak/hole of about .02 inch. The fuel system is a sealed system to prevent fuel vapors from escaping into the atmosphere. Fuel vapors are stored in the charcoal canister then later drawn/purged into the engine for combustion.   This could be as simple as a leaking gas cap or problems with the various components of the EVAP system. Replacing the two sensors and the charcoal canister will not guarranty a complete fix. The leak can be anywhere from a damage filler pipe to leaking vapor lines and sensors. Your best bet is to bring it to HYUNDAI as they have the proper tool to find the leak or you could try replacing the gas cap first and making sure that gas cap is properly tightened after every gas fill up. Good luck. Replies to this message: doohickie (Aug 25, 2008 3:05 pm)

Replying to: gomst1 (Aug 21, 2008 9:28 pm) The first thing to do if you have a small leak is to replace your gas cap.
