Memo to Sonata owners: if you have a mystery problem involving engine misfires, look to the crank misfire sensor.
So, the Crank Misfire Sensor was the culprit (in the other thread it seemed like you said it was not) and this time a wire was just loose?

Which wire was loose? Do you know where the sensor is off hand?

I've been chasing the same problem on a 2001 V6 GLS for over a year. I replaced, or discounted, a lot of the same things you did. My next step was going to be the transmission sensors. I've heard that a difference in the input and output speed sensors can "trick" the onboard computer into thinking the car is in a different gear, and thereby adjusting the gas and transmission accordingly.

Thanks.
