Also enter your email to join the waitlist bar by clicking on join the the Wait list. I understand that your car is experiencing stalling and difficulty starting in hot weather, but not in cooler conditions. This behaviour suggests an issue related to heat affecting one or more components of your vehicle. Here are some possibilities: Fuel System: Vapor lock: Hot weather can cause fuel to vaporize prematurely in the fuel lines, leading to air bubbles that obstruct fuel flow and starve the engine. This can cause stalling and difficulty starting. Fuel pump: Increased heat can put extra strain on the fuel pump, potentially causing its performance to drop and leading to insufficient fuel delivery, especially when the engine demands more fuel under load (e.g., uphill driving). Ignition System: Spark plugs: Worn or fouled spark plugs can struggle to produce a strong spark in hot conditions, leading to misfires and stalling. Ignition coils: Similar to spark plugs, heat can exacerbate issues with worn or faulty ignition coils, hindering their ability to deliver proper voltage for spark generation. Other possible causes: Sensor issues: Heat can affect the readings of various sensors, such as the crankshaft position sensor or the intake air temperature sensor, sending incorrect information to the engine computer and causing abnormal engine operation. Vacuum leaks: A small vacuum leak that might not be noticeable in cooler weather could become more pronounced in hot weather, potentially causing lean running and stalling. Preventative measures: In the meantime, you can take some preventative measures to reduce the risk of stalling in hot weather, such as: Parking in shade whenever possible. Letting the engine cool down before restarting after a hot drive. Keeping the engine coolant and oil levels topped up. Avoiding unnecessary strain on the engine, such as driving uphill at high speeds. Thank you as you do fill up you mail on our waitlist🙏

Re: Maintenance Tips On Cars. by ReformerD: 9:41pm On Jan 12 |
Please, what could probably cause occasional hard starts on a Hyundai Sonata? If I start the car in the morning, it runs fine. However, when I park and try to restart it after a while, it has a hard start. If I switch off the car and restart it, the car runs fine again, and there's no engine light code on the car. The mechanic advised me to keep using it until the problem shows itself. Also, the car runs fine. |
