Thanks

One thing I saw mentioned on another site suggested that the handshake the car makes with the key is sometimes slow and if you try starting the car before the little icon shows up on the dash, you can start the car but it will immediately quit. Which is just what is happening to me. So I have been making sure lately that the icon is lit up before I turn the key and so far I have not had a start and stall.
So, maybe that is all it is. A slow connection between the car and the key.
If it turns out to be more than this I will post again but for now all seems to be ok.
Thanks again for your insightful answer. All help is good help.
Has anyone had similar issues? Thanks :confuse:
Santa Fe's seem to be hard on these links.....This repair will stop the noise.
Thanks :surprise:
2nd most new vehicles has a returnless fuel system. wich means fuel only flows one direction, that its toward the engine and its distributed by the fuel rails to each injector. fuel does not circulate back to the gas tank. the job of the pump with assistance of the fuel presure regulator ( which is attached to the fuel pump and fuel filter in the gas tank) is to maintain presure. since this system just pushes fuel one direction the amount of fuel that the filter sees is may be les than a one galon per hour.
On older vehicles with a return system, the fuel filter can see at least 7-8 galons of fuel per hour doe to the cycle of excess fuel traveling back and fort from the tank to the engine. what that means is that the fuel filter works more since there is more constant fuel traveling true the filter media which eventually will clog up, usually in less than 8,000 miles. many of those filters are easily accesible do to that reason.
3rd. yes, on newer cars the fuel filter does not have an actual scheduled replacement. However if that filter does get clog, ussally the fuel pump will draw addtional current to maintain presure. the moment the voltage values and ohms (electrical resistance) fall out of proper operating range, that will triger the onboard computer to produce a check engine light trouble shooting code. to prevent any addtional damage the fuel presure regulator will bypass the extra fuel with in the tank to prevent presure build up, remember there is an evap system thats part of this equation that recycles the excess fuel vapors that build up in the tank....
hope this help to understand the way new modern fuel injection systems that are now in place in todays cars .. just think the new age of direct injection systems use higher presures and a more complex fuel delivery system.....
2008 Hyundai Santa fe experience the same issue while wife was driving lost power and contacted Dealer and was able to get it in that day and the check the Code and found P2106-lime Home Force Limited Power, P1295-Limp home Mode Power management and P2135 throttle Position Sensor 1&2 signal Voltage correlation. Per TSB. Replace the Throttle Position Sensor and updated the ECM. Got the vehicle back and very happy.
Oil pressure light comes on when car comes to stop. Light is not on when car is moving. Have plenty of oil in engine. Getting it checked, any suggestions tho?
Power Steering Return Line Replaced $273.73
Power Steering FLush $109.95
Crankshaft Position $230.97
I checked the SUV over and never had any issues with the power steering fluid leaking or issues with the steering in general. The big head scratcher is the Crankshaft Position ? Never heard of such a thing, and even consulted a neighbor who has 29 years as a GM mechanic. I've always had good service from this dealership, and was wondering with the economy if they were trying to get the most out of their customers now.
I know at 120,000 I will have the timing belt replaced ( every 60,000 ) as recommended. Is this possibly what the service manager was refering to ?
Any input would be appreciated
Question: at 58,100 miles, is this control arm, also known as the camber, covered under the bumper to bumper 60 months/60,000 mile warranty? BIG Thanks for any replies . . . .
The 'correction' on the warranty invoice says "Checked and tested and completed TSB 10FL007 completed reprogramming and reset light and . . . . working to factory specs". Everything's been fine since but I'm at 58,100 miles now and wondering what will be the out-of-pocket costs to 'reset' if this ever happens again. This is a very scary and strange computer glitch that I don't think I should have to pay for. Is this condition covered under the 100,000 powertrain warranty? :confuse: I guess the only comfort is knowing I'm not the only one.
i m in nyc, we have seem alot of snow this month. i drove and comutted on snow every day like if it was not even there, when buried at 16"s of snow on the ground, this tires can pretty much dig themselfs out easily with the awd lock button on. on dry pavement the give excelent feed back and handling is greatly improved. you ll find your self cornering with more confidence and higher speeds. the steering response is great . the road noise is very low, this tires have a 560 tread rating, its good to say under normal driving they should last about 60,000 miles. i was looking at the michelin lattitude tours, but the tread wear was about half and the price was over $245 per tire (including balance and mounting from a tire shop). hopefully someone here can give you a review from another tire makers. just remember, make sure they are using the same santa fe w/ awd, my cooworker went with the fwd version with traction control and i driven the fwd version on dry roads and is pretty much the same but on wet surfaces rain, snow and ice without the awd its a very different story. good luck with your seach hope this helps.
Hyundai should have a recall for this item.
If anyone have a solution on this issue, please let me know. Thanks.
