I try to post this since yesterday but the spambot kepts hammering me Bad Fuel Filter Symptoms A fuel filter keeps out dirt or debris particles from a vehicle's fuel line and prevents their entry into a vehicle engine. A filter that goes bad or fails to function properly can cause an assortment of abnormal engine problems. Learn to recognize the most common symptoms of a bad fuel filter to keep your car running smoothly. Engine Hesitation A bad fuel filter can cause an engine to hesitate, or stumble, if the filter restricts the flow of fuel into a vehicle's engine. Engine Stalling The main cause of engine stalling is a sudden break in fuel flow to the engine, a condition that often occurs when a fuel filter becomes blocked with debris or sediments and stops fuel from entering a vehicle's engine. Rough Engine Idle A rough engine idle is a common condition that can occur from either incomplete engine combustion or restrictions in the amount of fuel reaching an engine. A bad fuel filter can often reduce the flow of fuel to an engine to the degree that normal engine combustion is negatively affected. This can cause, among other things, a rough, erratic engine idle. Reduced Engine Power If fuel flow to a vehicle's engine is reduced, it prevents normal engine combustion and causes a noticeable reduction in engine power output. A bad fuel filter, especially one that is plugged, can restrict fuel flow to a vehicle's engine enough to impede engine combustion, which leads to a decrease in engine power. No-Start Condition If a bad fuel filter completely stops fuel flow to a vehicle's engine, the vehicle will not start. An engine relies on the ignition of fuel and air to start and operate. |

blank:That sounds right but that should have been one of the first things to check. Anyway, thank God they have figured it out, just make sure one of them is in the car with you when you test drive it. Signs of a Bad Ignition Coil An ignition coil is inside the ignition assembly and transfers the 12-volt electrical signal from the battery into the voltage needed to make the spark plugs spark. Because the ignition coil is responsible for making the plugs spark, it is sometimes called a spark coil. When an ignition coil goes bad, it can manifest itself with one or more signs and symptoms. No Spark If the ignition coil goes bad, the battery's 12-volt current will not be converted for the spark plugs, and no spark will occur. Without spark, the engine will not start. Poor Function If the coil is going bad but is still marginally functional, it will provide electrical current for some of the plugs, but not all. This problem may be mistaken as a bad spark plug. If the weak coil cannot maintain a spark for all the plugs, the vehicle will run poorly and may buck, feel sluggish, fail to accelerate properly, run loudly and shake. Stalling If the coil is bad but still functional, the car may stall one day while running and not start again. This happens when it goes completely bad. |

baron2000:Three things 1) Failing Fuel Pump - When the fuel pump is bad, it causes the engine to cut out at high RPMs, when the car needs more fuel. 2) Clogged Fuel Filter - When there is too much Dirt in your filter, it can cause your throttle to stop because fuel isn't going into your engine 3) Bad Ignition Coil - If that one too is going bad it can cause the car to stop when it overheats. Most likely it is either the fuel pump or fuel filter or both needs to be replaced |

blank:I did some research into your problem and it looks like this is a well know issues with Hyundai Tucson when it is over a certain miles (60,000 and up). It is even documented in the TSB (Technical service Bulletin). The general consensus is that it happens when the[b] Vacuum Hose[/b] has come loose or the Throttle Position Sensor needs replacement since it does not look like that's the problem with your car, then maybe they should check the transmission. This is what one of the online mechanics said hmmm, sounds like a transmission issue, check the level and condition of the fluid. does the engine seem to rev excessively? if the fluid is black or really dark red then it time for a flush, but id the transmission is slipping now some damage might have been done and it might need replacement.You can read more Here |

Fhemmmy:Very good advice and to add to it, always check your car manual to see what type of petrol your car uses. Some people will ask what is the difference, i think this article can help us understand the difference between premium and regular. What’s the difference between premium-grade and regular gasoline? With slight variations—depending on the crude oil and the refining and blending processes used in production—all gasoline grades contain the same amount of chemical energy. When combusted, premium (high-octane) gasoline and the less-expensive (and less-glamorous) regular, and all grades in between, provide the same amount of thermal energy, or heat, which an engine uses to generate the mechanical power that moves a vehicle. There is, however, another aspect to this question, notes Ahmed Ghoniem, the Ronald C. Crane Professor of Mechanical Engineering at MIT: How much of that raw heat energy can the engine actually convert into mechanical energy? “One can argue that using high-octane fuels in the right engine ultimately leads to more mechanical power from the same amount of fuel,” he says. In other words, higher-octane fuel confers an advantage in some cars, but not others. It allows performance-oriented engines (specifically, those with higher compression ratios) to burn gasoline at higher pressures and higher temperatures. These conditions at the moment of combustion create better thermodynamic efficiency, so a greater percentage of the gasoline’s heat energy gets converted into motive power. Octane rating is a measure of grace under pressure: how evenly a gasoline will burn under difficult conditions, like hard acceleration. Ideally, the vaporized gasoline inside an engine’s cylinder burns by the propagation of a wave of flame, ignited by the cylinder’s spark plug. This allows a smooth transfer of power to the engine’s crankshaft and the car’s wheels. But at higher pressures or temperatures, small pockets of gasoline vapor can prematurely explode, or self-ignite, creating a distinctive “knocking” sound, as well as potentially destructive shock waves. Gasoline with a higher octane rating does not self-ignite easily, and burns more evenly than lower-octane fuel under harsh conditions, resisting detonation and knocking. Modern engines, with electronic sensors and controls, are very good at preventing detonation of lower-octane gas (this is why drivers no longer hear much knocking). But high-octane fuel is still specified when designers want to achieve better acceleration and power output, and when they are willing to accept a slightly bulkier and heavier engine with higher operating costs. — Peter Dunn |

Many of us have seen the fuel stickers stating the MPG (Miles per Gallons) of the car we want to buy but do we know what it means and how it affects how much we spend on fuel? How Does Fuel Efficiency Work High gas prices have become more of an everyday occurrence than a surprise or shock; it is for this reason that fuel efficiency has become one of the most important issues for both car companies and consumers. Commercials, marketing campaigns and even government proposals all revolve around the idea of increasing fuel efficiency, but for many the question still arises, “what exactly is fuel efficiency and how does it work?” There are a lot of terms that float around in reference to fuel efficiency, the most common for Americans being Miles per gallon (MPG). In the United States fuel efficiency is broken down into three categories - 1) Highway MPG, 2) City MPG 3) Combined MPG. With less frequent stopping and acceleration on the freeway, highway miles per gallon are usually significantly greater than that of the city. It is for this reason that the combined MPG is presented; it gives a more accurate presentation of fuel efficiency to consumers. Understanding fuel efficiency allows one to see which cars are truly fuel efficient and which are gas guzzling and wasteful. In today’s age of wide ranging fuel efficiency, an SUV car owner can spend $4 at the pump to travel 13 miles, while a hybrid owner can go more than 40 miles after spending the same amount of money. How does this happen? One must understand the workings of fuel efficiency to answer that question. Though miles per gallon seem fairly simply in its definition, to completely understand how fuel efficiency works, one must look at the definition in more detail. Fuel efficiency can be defined as the proportion of energy released by a fuel combustion process converted into useful work. The necessity of measuring fuel efficiency comes from the inability to get a 100% of useful work from burned gasoline; a great deal of energy is lost in combustion as heat or lost while braking and is therefore not useful. It is through this definition that we begin to see how fuel efficiency works. Fuel efficiency is affected by a variety of factors; weight, size, aerodynamics and friction all affect the fuel efficiency of a car. Even common factors such as wind resistance and bumper to bumper traffic effect vehicle’s fuel efficiency on a daily basis. Countless hours of research and tests are done to determine a car’s fuel efficiency. This research includes factoring in the varying effects of acceleration, braking and urban life. Regardless of the way it is encountered, researches have made it clear that the more resistance that a vehicle is subject to, the more fuel the engine has to burn and the less fuel efficient the vehicle becomes. Knowing about fuel efficiency can help to explain many of the MPG disparities that exist. Any vehicle that gets more than 30 MPG can be considered exceptionally fuel efficient by today’s standards and any vehicle with less than 20 MPG should be known as a fuel efficiency abomination. So how does fuel efficiency work? It works by allowing people to know how well their vehicle processes fuel and subsequently, how much work they can get out of their car per gallon of gasoline. MPG is not only a figure for car companies to promote, it is a practical look into a car’s value. |

FUEL ECONOMY Video shows how driving style can affect MPG and offers tips on how to improve fuel economy [flash=560,340] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oro2Usn6P0g?version=3&hl=en_US[/flash] No matter where you drive, there are some simple things you can do now to increase your fuel economy: First, check your tire pressure regularly. Just one psi under-inflated can reduce fuel economy by 3%. Second, get the junk out of the trunk. Those golf clubs, mega-size toolkits and bags of traction salt are forcing your engine to work harder than it should. Keep your car tuned up. A well-maintained car will run more efficiently. And finally, commit to driving less often. Carpool to work or school, and consider walking or biking for short trips. Getting the most economy out of your car just makes sense, and the rewards go way beyond mere dollars and cents. Driving smart is a decision that we all can live with. So, step off the gas, and take a stride towards efficient motoring! Disclaimer - This video was not made by me, I found it on a State Public Service Website that provides free videos for download. |
