Replying to: woodchuck4 (Nov 08, 2009 4:43 pm) The fuel filter is very important. However, the time to change it has varied from different cars I have owned. When I was a teenager, I had a '95 Ford Escort which advised changing it every 50k. More recently, I had a '95 Honda Accord which advised changing it every 35k. I'm not sure why there is a large difference in the length of time. Bottom line: you need to change it. When you change it is up to you. Just know that the longer you go, the more of a gamble it is.

Hi! New here! Never had a single issue with my 04 Sonata until this May. The car just shut off while driving - had it towed to a repair shop - they replaced the crank shaft sensor, and the timing belt (which had not broken, but was showing some wear. After getting it back, the car had a rough idle, and ended up shutting off again while driving. Brought it back - they replaced the crank sensor again (said it was faulty) and the ac belt as well. Has had a rough idle since - and is now shutting off again while driving! The weird thing is, if you disconnect the battery for a few minutes, the car will then run again. Also, replaced spark plugs and coils. Going to the dealership Friday, but wondering if anyone else has experienced this?

I recently took my car to the dealer for a check engine light (p0016) I was told that the problem was the "oil drive actuator". What is an "oil drive actuator"? I denied service at the time cause it was $500+ I don't have that kind of money. So about a week later I called the dealers parts dept. I asked to buy the "oil drive actuator" part from them to potentially fix the problem myself. The rep. didn't even know what an "oil drive actuator" is. Is this an actual part? or was I being taken for a ride?

Replying to: emadrid007 (Dec 02, 2009 1:39 pm) "GENERAL DESCRIPTION The CVVT (Continuously Variable Valve Timing) system is installed to the chain sprocket of the exhaust camshaft. There is no variation in valve timing of the exhaust cam because the exhaust camshaft is driven by the timing belt. The timing of the intake cam is varied by the relative operation the CVVT vane to the housing. The CVVT controller regulates the intake camshaft angle using oil pressure through the OCV(Oil Control Valve). As result, the relative position between the camshaft and the crankshaft becomes optimal, and the engine torque improves, fuel economy improves, exhaust emissions decrease by changing the valve open/close timing of the intake camshaft. DTC DESCRIPTION This diagnosis checks the camshaft position plausibility whether the expected range plus some margin is not violated that might be caused by a wrong engine repair, or a chain/belt misalignment. DTC P0016 is set when actual camshaft position is too much retarded or advanced than full retard position or full advance position. To continue the adjustment in such case could lead to a damage of the engine by hitting the valves with the piston." |
