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

| 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? | |

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: asher3 (Jul 13, 2009 9:48 am)  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.

I have a 2006 Sonata 4 cylinder with about 32,000 miles on it. According to the owner's manual, two filters need to be replaced about now, a fuel filter and a fuel tank air filter. From reading up on these here and elsewhere, and from calling the dealer, I understand that both are in the fuel tank and can only be replaced by the dealer. However, to my surprise, my dealer tells me that both are really designed to last the life of the car and that neither needs to be replaced unless causing problems. (I didn't expect anyone at a dealer to ever say that!) I understand the fuel tank air filter is a charcoal canister meant to help meet clean air standards. So I can understand why it might not need replacement. (I'd like to do my part for clean air but don't appreciate having to fork over major money to do it.) But I'm not so sure about skipping the replacement of the fuel filter. I once had a car, 20 years ago, in which I neglected to replace the fuel filter, primarily because it was my first car and I didn't know there was such a thing. In that case, ignorance was not bliss. I'm about to head cross-country from east coast to west and back and expect to put on another 8000 miles in the next month. Is there anything to worry about?
