My Sonata with 2.4 DHOC engine stalls after about 15 miles from a cold start. I then have to wait 2 - 3 minutes to restart so I can go another mile or two. THe car has 53000 miles and I'm the 2nd owner, so I'm out of warrantee. Just had timing belt replaced in August. Due to the computer code, Pep Boys replace the Cam Position Sensor, however the plug to the sensor was bad so they rigged it for the time being. The problem did not go away - and now Pep Boys tells me I need a new plug but the only way that comes is in a wire harness at $1150.00 before labor charges. Is there any way around this as I can see harness and labor charges exceeding what I originally paid for the car. Thanks in advance for any help or suggestions.
