Hyundai - Elantra :: 2007 - After Oil Change Stuttering When Stopped / Wheezing When Gears Shifting?

I have a 2007 Manual drive Hyundai Elantra with 98,000 miles on it. Prior to going to Valvoline (who I know are not the best oil change places) if I was parked with foot on clutch and brake there was a tinny noise coming from the engine. I was going to have it checked out.

Fast forward I had my oil changed at Valvoline on Saturday (2 days ago) since then when parked with foot on clutch and brake the car begins to make a stuttering/shuttering noise and is shaking a bit (in time). In addition when I shift gears and go faster there is a wheezing noise.

I assume I need to bring this back to Valvoline? Is there anything that they could have done during the oil change that would cause this issue?I didn't get the air filter but it wasn't that horrible. They of course said I should get the radiator flush and the transmission flush.

Sonata NF (2006-10) :: Stuttering When Cruise At 50 MPH

My 2008 2.4-L NF has a minor issue. When I cruise at ~50 MPH, the car "stutters" for lack of a better word. For some reason I have trouble explaining this, but I guess a good description is that it's like a series of minor but rapid changes in throttle position--but faster than you could possibly do intentionally.

It seems worst when I first start it cold, and then get up to speed on the parkway near my house. It does do it at full temp, but it's hardly noticeable then. Even at its worst (i.e. when cold), it's something no one else has mentioned to me, so I guess I'm the only one that notices it.

What's weird is that it doesn't happen at any other speed other than ~50 MPH. Even a minor change in speed eliminates the problem.

Prius (2004-09) :: 2006 Shuddering / Stuttering On Idle When Accelerate Onto Highway

I just purchased a used 2006 package 3 with 66500 miles on it. Drove it to work today and the car started sputtering/shuddering when i was accelerating onto the highway. The check engine line came on so I took it to the dealership. Turns out it was a bad sensor.

When they fixed the bad sensor, the mechanic told me that its normal to feel a slight stuttering when the gas engine kicks in or off which seems to be confirmed by other members here.

Accent MC (2006-11) :: 2008 - CEL Blinking / Car Started Stuttering And Idle Was Rough

I have a 2008 Accent. Yesterday the check engine light started to blink and the car started stuttering and the idle was rough. I've changed the air filter, which worked. But, it was recommended that I change the fuel filter. But, when I went to the parts store, they say that this model has a fuel strainer instead. What is that and where is it on my car? Is it easy to replace?

Golf V R32 :: CEL Flashing And Engine Stuttering?

I test drove a R32 today and had a question about a throttle hiccup. I tried searching but didn't come up with much...

I drove about 5 miles in traffic at 35-45 mph, eventually traffic cleared out, and the speed limit bumped up to 55. While accelerating from 40-55, probably half throttle opening, the cel started flashing and the engine began to stutter. I stopped the car, turned it off, and it started back up fine. On the way back, the situation repeated, but simply letting off the gas stopped it, and the cel stopped flashing.

Relevant info: 35 degrees F, 55k mileage, car behaved fine under small throttle openings. My best guess is the air flow or o2 sensors are gummed up from sitting at the dealership, but they're supposed to look at it and call me tomorrow. Does this sound like a common thing?

Bmw - X3 :: 2007 - Odd Stuttering When Accelerate / Service Engine Light Came On

I have experienced an odd behavior once today & once yesterday, while driving my 2007 BMW X3 3.0. Each time, I was RAPIDLY pulling onto a busy street, from a side street...I accelerated fairly aggressively from the intersection, moving across lanes of oncoming traffic and into the main traffic lanes on the far side. My SUV was driving without any issues up until that point. As i accelerated, the car began to stutter (shudder?), and the 'Service Engine Soon" light came on instantly. The car continued to drive, but struggled to maintain speed/acceleration. I pulled over to a full stop as soon as I could, and turned the engine off. After a couple of minutes, I turned the car back on, and the diagnostic light was no longer on, and the car resumed driving normally as before. Why this sudden acceleration is causing the Service Engine light to come on, and this odd driving behavior?

Passat (B5) :: Check Engine Light On - Stuttering When Step On Gas In Early Gears

I'm sure it's something worse, because I've had very bad luck with my 02 Volkswagen Passat. Since last Wednesday, my car has been stuttering when I step on the gas in the early gears but when you get to about 30-40mph it runs fine with an occasional light stutter. Saturday the check engine light came on, then went off. Yesterday it came on while on the highway and has not shut off yet.

My VW has 105K miles on it and hasn't had a tune up since 50K. Does it need a tune up or isn't it something else if the check engine light comes on? If it is a tune up, is it possible to do it yourself? I don't really tinker with engines much, but I like to think I can be somewhat handy. I've changed my brakes and rotars, headlights and other things. Is it just spark plugs, oil and air filters?

Prius (2004-09) :: Grinding Noise In Engine Area - Car Started Stuttering Like Out Of Gas

04 with 200k miles, car started stuttering like out of gas, when stopped there was a grinding noise from engine. Took to dealer on trailer, when it was taken to the mechanic all problems went away. Changed oil looking for metal chips, none. Did computer upgrade which was the only code on the check engine light.

Drove car for two days on short trips, four or five times 20 to 30 miles. Ran great. At around 40 miles on next day same problem. No lights or codes of any type. Carried to dealer again, they said they were not sure if it is the engine, transmission, or something in between. I was told they would have to take it apart to find out and the least amount it would cost is $5,000.

The grinding occurs when the engine is running only. when revved up it is louder, at idle the noise changes while sitting in park, louder quieter etc. when driving on electric, sounds perfect. (no sound at all)

Elantra HD (2006-10) :: Hard To Start Like Gas Isn't Getting To Engine

I am having problems starting my 2009 Elantra sedan. There are no error codes.

I get into the car and turn the ignition and it sounds like it is about to catch but as soon as I let go of the ignition it stops.

I found that if I wait a few minutes and try and give the pedal a few vigorous pumps it will start to catch, but more often than not, I have to go through this procedure several times before it starts.

This started this winter about 2 months ago and is still happening even as the weather has warmed up.

Plenty of juice to turn it over. I have replaced the spark plugs at 100,000 km with iridium plugs. I currently have 160,000 km on it.

There is plenty of gas in the car. Sounds to me like the gas isn't getting to the engine.

Is there some systematic method that I could use to isolate the problem?

Elantra HD (2006-10) :: 2007 - Engine Would Try And Crank But No Ignition

Ok. 2007 Elantra SE about 73k miles

Woke up yesterday car wouldn't start. Engine would try and crank but no ignition. Came home for lunch tried it again, no luck. Let it crank 2 or 3 times about 30 sec. each no luck. Then all of a sudden it started right up. Shut it off and started right up again. Did this 5 or 6 times, it started right up each time.

After work I came home, tried to start it. No luck. Pumped the gas a couple of times let it crank for a while. Nothing. Then after a couple of tries, it started. Went to Autozone had the battery and charging system checked, all good. Put some gas in it and came home. All this time it started right up each time.

Later that night about 4 hours later I went to try it and no go. After about 5 minutes of repeatedly trying it came on eventually.

This morning I went out, pumped the gas twice and it started right up. Shut it off and started again about 5 times in a row. It seemed to run a little rough. Just slight shake that seems like miss or something.

What could be the problem. No check engine light. Fuel system, ignition system, some sensor??

Elantra HD (2006-10) :: Oil Leak From The Lower Half Of The Engine

I just picked up a 2010 Elantra with only 74,000kms on it. During the safety inspection the mechanic noticed that the car was leaking oil from the lower half of the engine. Are there any common spots I should look for a leak? The car didn't smoke or appear to burn any oil on the 3 hour drive home, and still appears to be full when checking the dipstick.

Elantra HD (2006-10) :: 2009 Engine Rough Idle After A Run

Have a 2009 Elantra 4 door, manual. It is at 52000 kilometers and recently in the spring changed the oil, I run Full synthetic.

Lately its been really hot and the following problem occurs, no engine light or anything. But if I start the car cold it idles no problem, nice an smooth, If I go out for a 30min drive, come back and let it idle its rough. Not crazy rough but its rougher than it should be. I have no power issues, it pulls well, never stalls. If I shut it down and wait a few hours, engine still hot, but not super hot, start her up and runs well, no rough idle.

Go out for a 15-20 min drive and park it, idles rough. I checked the usual, wires, plugs, pvc valve seems good. Engine temp is normal also. I did some searches on the site but come up mostly with cold idle issues, not great when cold not so when hot.

Elantra HD (2006-10) :: Engine Cranking Over A Few Times Before Actually Starting

Having a problem with the engine cranking over a few times before actually starting. This only happens after the car has been sitting over night. Thought maybe it was a bad battery, but it has been replaced in the last few months.

When I turn the key to start, it tries to fire for up to 3 seconds before actually starting. This only happens on the first start of the day, after that it starts quickly with no problems.
