Yeah, I was wondering if anybody knew what was wrong w/ my car or had similiar problems.
It seems the Santa Fe is about to stall when its in idle like its not getting enough gas. Then it seems to have trouble accelerating. I have the pedal pushed down all the way and the car barely accelerates, I have to get it in second gear to get it moving, and this is in 60-70mph range. I don't know what it is. I think it maybe the transmission or something w/ the fuel filter. Do you know what's up?

BTW, I have a automatic tranny. Mileage is at 100,065.

A little more info is needed. Which engine do you have? Any check engine lights on? If so, what codes?

I have the 2.4L engine. Yes the check engine light is on but I don't know the codes yet. I will be taking it in probably on Tuesday to have it checked on.

Took the Santa Fe in today, and turns out it was the Mass Airflow Sensor, so no longer need anyones diagnosis unless you think its something else. Lol. Gonna get it replaced in the next few days. Thanks. :)

If you are wanting to go OE on the parts, I can help. Part # should be 28164-38210 on the air flow sensor for your car. List on it is $250.82. I can sell it for $200 shipped. I don't have one in stock, but can have one on Thursday, and can ship to you then.

Thank you but no thanks. :)
Would've been great if you could get the part earlier but the part is being replaced today, so too late for that.
