Elantra XD (2001-06) :: Engine Bogs Down Randomly

My GF owns a 2001 Elantra 2.0l automatic.

We've had the problem with it not taking fuel like it should. It clicks off after a quarter gallon at a time - so it takes forever to fill up. I've cleaned some of the carbon pellets from the lines going to the charcoal canister but, I think there is a clog in the vent lines going to it. Haven't got around to trying to dislodge them with pressurized air -yet. Anyways, I don't know if that has anything to do with this but, I just wanted to bring that up.

What the problem is is that she was going 45-60mph down the road and she said the engine seemed to suddenly lose power and she was unable to go over 20mph. She had to pull over to let the cars behind her pass. She sat there for a minute or so (never turning off the engine) and then it seemed to gain power back and she made it home (about 2miles from where that happend). She said it happend again when she put it into reverse to park at the house.

I got in the car after it sat (off) for a few minutes and took it down the road but, couldn't replicate the issue. It ran fine for me -of course. She has told me she had a similar issue about a year ago but, nothing came up of it so I just shrugged it off. What should I be looking for? I checked all fluids and checked the intake hosing for obstructions and found none. The tank was on E but, the light wasn't on. She thought maybe she was running out of fuel.

I had her run to the parts store to get some SeaFoam and trans fluid (slight axle seal leak). She put half of the bottle in and filled it up. Didn't have any issue after that and made it to work this morning with no problems.

Elantra XD (2001-06) :: 2002 GT Engine Stall Sometimes

Car: Elantra 2002 GT
5 Speed Manual
318000km
Kept all recommended service checks

Just week ago strange occurrence of the following problem started. Car is Idling No Problem, Running in any speed, accelerating no problem. Driving on Highway one day engine started stall (check Engine popup stall) but I didn't push the clutch and its restarted and run and again after while come on and stall and restarted and run and after just running no problem.

Removed Fuel pump, check the tank, nothing visible, I put water remover in the tank refuel to the full tank, car is running. Driving for two days, no problem. Today I drove on the highway and its happened again, after 3-4 stall car is running smoothly again.

I have OBD reader with me, no codes, no stored codes...nothing. No battery failure as the clock and radio didn't reset. Drove around the bumpy street for 30 minutes, nothing as I thought some bad relay.

What I should try next? (HV for spark plugs, fuel pump is running smoothly and has pressure, dirty injection?)

Elantra XD (2001-06) :: 2002 - Revs Up Without Stepping On Gas

Yesterday, my 2002 Elantra started to rev ferociously (I was turning a corner in 1st gear), so I put it in neutral, and the engine calmed down. I shifted back to 1st, then 2nd, and the engine started to rev up again without me stepping on the gas. I pulled over and stopped the car. After 10 minutes, I started the car and put it in neutral. The engine idled normally, then started revving up again - really fast - all by itself! I left the car overnight and this morning, put WD-40 on the accelerator cable and today it drove fine, so far.

Elantra XD (2001-06) :: 2002 - Car Hesitates Through All Gears

I was wondering what could be causing my Elantra to hesitate? I have the 2.0 5 speed 4 door sedan. It only hesitates below 1500 rpms in all of the gears. I was curious if plugs and wires could work out pretty good? I know when I changed them out in my old Saturn SL1, that stopped the hesitation.

Elantra XD (2001-06) :: 2002 GLS Headlights Not Bright Enough

The stock headlights on my 02' Elantra GLS Automatic were not bright enough, I could barely see anything at night. So in December I put in Silverstar 55w bulbs. In May the passenger side bulb died. I warranty replaced the bulb. The same bulb died again last week. I replaced it again with the same bulbs. Is it possibly my car can only handle 35W bulbs, or wiring issues, or faulty fuse? Not sure whats going on.

Elantra XD (2001-06) :: 2002 Won't Start After Driving

This has been happening for awhile now. I will drive somewhere, distance isn't a problem, and then after I'm done, I'll go to start my car, and it won't start. It won't turn over or whatever the term is. The starter tries, but won't bite. Sometimes it will start and I can drive for a bit before it will die about a block or 2 later.

Elantra XD (2001-06) :: 2002 GT Died And Would Not Restart

Our 02 Elantra GT died and would not restart. When we tried jumping the battery, the car would not even attempt to turn over. What we did get was a noise from this part, which I cannot find labeled in any diagram that I've found, both in my owner manual and online.

Elantra XD (2001-06) :: 2002 - Leakage At Fuel Rail

Wife's 2002 elantra is leaking at the fuel rail pretty badly. Looks like maybe there should have been a hose clamp on it, i can see the indentations on at the rail on the rubber fitting. So i put a hose clamp on it. stopped leaking....just went out a few hours later to check it again, started it up....started leaking same spot.

We are getting a new car in 3-4 months. All i want to do is replace the line from the rail to...the next closest fitting.

Are there any videos? PIctures? Documents how to do this? I've never replaced a fuel line, doesn't seem like it could be hard. Just don't know how those fittings work. I've been known to turn a few wretches here and there.

Elantra XD (2001-06) :: 2002 GLS Cranks But Doesn't Start (sometimes)

My 2002 Elantra GLS seems to have some sort of heat related problem.

I live in Arizona, where temperatures routinely reach well over 100. In the morning my car will start fine, after driving it for some time and parking somewhere, if I try and start the car within a couple hours of driving it, it will crank but not start. Lifting the hood to cool it seems to expedite this to get it started.

I had a mechanic friend of mine hook up his OBD computer at his shop, nothing out of the ordinary. He suspected either a crankshaft or camshaft position sensor. No check engine light, nothing out of the ordinary on his computer check. I removed spark plug wires for cylinders 1 and 4 and I have spark while cranking when it fails to start. My mechanic friend said the spark would rule out a faulty crankshaft position sensor. I have also tried spraying starting fluid into the intake manifold, and it has no effect. The battery has been replaced within the last two months, connectors are new as well.

Elantra XD (2001-06) :: 2002 - Starter Turns And The Car Almost Starts

The car has been sitting since last March (11 months). I have 3/4 tank of gas. The starter turns and the car almost starts. I suspect old gas is the problem because it sounds as if it wants to start and the gas is old. Could it be the injectors are clogged? If so, is there a way I can clean these myself? Or maybe another diagnosis?
