#2903 of 3014 car starts hard after putting gas into it by sharring Jul 10, 2009 (6:22 pm)
I have a 2002 Sonata GLS V6 that starts hard after I put gas in it. At first when it is turned over it will not start at all then it will try to start but die. If apply just a bit of pressure on the gas pedal it will at first have a hard time gaining RPMs but then it will run at faster than Idle RPMs. After about 45 seconds it will run fine. This does not happen every time I start the car only when I put fuel in it. If I simply remove the gas cap this does not happen but even if I put just a few gallons of fuel in it, it will. Can anyone tell me what the problem might be? thanks Replies to this message: newowner10 (Jul 14, 2009 3:40 am)
#2904 of 3014 Dealer says A/C needs service by asher3 Jul 13, 2009 (9:48 am)
My 2007 Sonata has less than 8500 miles on it and is kept in my garage. I recently brought it in for normal service. I have had no problems with the Air Conditioner yet the dealer says I need A/C service, induction service. Wants to change the filter and I don't know what else.........to the tune of over a couple of hundred $$$$ How can this be? What do I look for?

Replying to: asher3 (Jul 13, 2009 9:48 am) This does not sound necessary - you should look at the service manual and instruct the dealer to do only the items listed. I would even have then SKIP the items that say "inspect". The filter is probably the cabin air filter. Dealers charge a bunch for this $20 filter and the 10 min it takes to replace. Since the car is a 2007, probably does needs changing so unless you have another means to get this done (local mechanic, youtube video, etc) you may not have a choice.

Replying to: sharring (Jul 10, 2009 6:22 pm) car starts hard after putting gas into it by sharring   Possibly when you put the nozzle in it opens a door in the filler neck. I do not know why that would matter to the car put that appears to be the only difference between taking off the gas cap and putting a little gas in. You could just put the nozzle in and see what happens.

Replying to: tomk17 (Jul 13, 2009 10:24 am) Thanks for your reply.   Do you know about the induction service they also said I need? Since the car has no problems that I know of, and so little mileage I get the feeling the dealer is trying to get me to do things that are not needed.

Replying to: asher3 (Jul 14, 2009 4:43 am) The term "Induction" service sound like he made something up to sound more expensive the "Replace the cabin air filter" to me. The filter should be fine if you do not experiance low air flow from the vents.

Replying to: asher3 (Jul 13, 2009 9:48 am) Needs AC service? It blows cold right?... ANSWER:yes, no service.... ANSWER: no, needs service. Induction service is cleaning the air intake throttle body. Usually they spray a solvent cleaner into the intake and race the engine a bit to suck the foam deeper into the intake manifold. This service may be necessary 100K miles and/or if the engine air filter element was not regularly changed...not at 8K miles....skip it. Finally the cabin filter which filters outside air that ends up in the cabin will dirty and clog but only after at least 20K or more miles. Unless you drive dusty dirt or gravel roads OR through dust storms. Skip it for a few more thousands of miles.
