    Hi guys,

    Need the help of the experts. Our Hyundai Elantra jerks / kumakadyot during acceleration starting at 30km/hr. We brought it to Hyundai Quezon Ave. but they weren't able to solve the problem. We tried gassing up higher octane gasoline and even changed to Shell from Petron. A street-side talyer suggested changing the spark plugs and it worked... FOR A WHILE until we experienced it again yesterday. Any ideas what might cause this problem? TIA.

    2012 Elantra 1.6 A/T. We cleaned the stock spark plugs and installed it again. Nawala ulit yung kadyot. Pero not sure if this is a long term solution. Hoping for suggestions or at least refer a shop that specializes on Hyundai cars (other than HARI dealers).

    Under warranty pa yan ah. What did they do after they failed to solve your problem?

    Wala bro. They just left us hanging. Hindi daw madetect sa computer eh, so we're left with no other choice but to solve it on our own.

    Bulok talaga after sales service ng HARI, try to find a talyer that could read the ECU para malaman kung totoong di madetect sa Computer.
    They might be trying to skip out on the warranty. Good Luck!

    Lalabas siguro sa computer nila ang error pag wala na sa warranty elantra mo.
    Nag check engine light ba?
    Ano fuel gamit mo?
    May ginamit kabang oil additive?
    Within level ba ang engine oil mo? Dba sobra?

    Ang lakas nga lumaklak for highway drive yung 6.2 km/l. Average city drive ko is 7-7.5 km/l by manual computation. I don't rely on the computer kasi feeling ko accurate pag manual computation. Kahit lumipat ako sa Unioil Euro4 gas, same pa din ang FC.

    Boss, nakasama pa pala yung ECU upgrade sa FC. Shempre kamot ulo lang yung casa kung bakit nagkaganyan.

    Teka nga pala, so besides your problems with HNE about the rack n pinion, nagka-problema ka din sa FC due to ECU upgrade and hard starting issues?
