Good evening from Greece,
I have made a mistake buying a Hyundai Tucson hybrid/diesel awd manual transmission 2020.
The problem is that when I let of my foot from the gas pedal at around 2000-2500rpm especially when I’m on 3rd gear, I’m feeling a sudden kick like is someone from behind me and kicking my seat( I can’t explain otherwise).
The car dealership changed my fuel pump and recently have cleaned the maf but nothing, the problem remains the same. What else I must check?
any other idea would be helpful..
Thank you..
The faulty throttle position sensor could do that.
Should I clean it first or change with a new one?
Clean the throttle body first.
I have cleaned the throttle body but not all of it because I was afraid if I make any damage.. by the way the symptoms disappear at 90%.. next time I know what will do.. thanks for the advice!!
Make sure you don't damage the therottle body when you clean it, the senstive part is the butterlfy valve.
Hi again...
I have cleaned again the throttle body because the first time i did, didnt make a proper clean.
Now that i've have cleaned it for the second time, the syptoms stopped for a while but unfortunately they came back.
A have a question about the throttle body. Should the butterfly valve be opened when i do these move:
1)take off the key
2)take off the negative poll
3)take off the box of the air filter
4)clean the throttle body
doing these steps the butterfly is open.
Also i've search that the throttle position sensor could be the problem, what do you think?
When the engine is off, it should be closed. If it is not, either the sensor is bad or the mechanism is not working correctly.
And I’m wondering, how the car despite this issue works on the road great? Should not be working not normal?
Pfff it’s so complicated…
2020 model should still be under warranty, right?
Hyundai needs to fix it for you free of charge.
I know it but the jerkings/kicks doesn’t make in front of them to figure out the problem.. it’s so annoying and I’m tired of this. No engine light, nothing 😞
record a video of it
