My 2005 Tucson GLS, with the 6 cylinder engine and automatic, is stumbling badly when accelerating from a stop. I put my foot on the gas and the car lurches while the tach swings up and down between
Any ideas what I might be looking at?
By the way, there is no check engine light. The car runs fine once up to speed and starts fine.
Just a piece of crap Hyundai; should have bought a GM
Check to see whether the air intake hose has pulled off the air flow sensor. There?s a technical service bulletin about this issue.
If that?s the problem, you can probably just reattach the hose for now. The fix is to replace the clamps with some that provide more clamping force.

This started after my last fill up, so it may be a bad
appointment with the dealer for next week.
looking at?
Yeah, a bad tank of gas could have crudded up the fuel filter(s) or got water in the carb/gas line, my guess.
