Hyundai Sonata 2010 sluggish Acceleration

Topic starter

Hola a todos!

I own a 2010 Hyundai Sonata GLS 2.4L, 4cyl for a year now. Since I bought it, I noticed that my car had a misfiring, I did troubleshooting and I ended up checking all my 4 spark plugs on my car, now the engine light is gone and my car runs better; However, after replacing the spark plugs I noticed another issue with my car.

On highways, I have a little problem accelerating my car. Here is an example of my issue:
I am on the highway at 40mph and I want to accelerate to 50mph or 60mph, if I press the gas pedal and slowly keep pressing the gas pedal down, the car speed won't be affected (does not increase) until I really low the press down.

I hope my examples can be understood, du English is not my first language.

Here are the exact details of the new spark plugs that I put in my car if someone wants to know it:

  • Bosch Double Iridium Spark Plugs 9622

 

Thank you in advance for the help

Does it have automatic transmisson? If so, are part-throttle downshifts working properly? (Possibly it is not downshifting until the gas pedal is floored.)


Yes, my car has an automatic transmission on it. and Yes, from what I have noticed the downshifts working properly on my car.


Maybe I did not write correctly, but that problem that I have is when I press the gas pedal my car won't accelerate until I press it all the way down.

is your throttle on a cable, or electric?

When you try to accelerate, do the RPMs go up?  If so, check for low transmission fluid or a bad torque converter.

Probably a good idea to get a scanner on the car to see what code(s) it shows and go from there.


I have done that, I and fix all the codes on the computer of my car


What codes?

Does your car have a replaceable fuel filter?

Are you talking about the "In-Tank Fuel Filter"? If so, yes that filter is in good condition I inspected myself last month when I was doing a gas cluster troubleshooting in my car


Also, thank you for the link. I am looking at it now
