Sudden Loss of Power on Elantra

Nov 02, 2007 3 Replies

I have a 2005 Elantra 5-speed manual with 52K miles.



For the most part it runs fine but all of a sudden I have a loss of power.



If I depress the clutch and pump the gas, it picks up again. It also periodically stalls.



The other night it was stalling out while I was coasting with the clutch depressed and the trans. in neutral so I don't think it's a clutch problem.



It tends to happen more when it's cold but the problem is intermittent.



Any suggestions would be appreciated.



Thanks.

Is the check engine lamp on?

There are many possibilities. Without more information, I might suggest checking for a vacuum leak or, depending on exactly what happens and at what temperatures, perhaps reprogram the ECM.

It turns out it is a computer part, and fortunately it's under warrantee. I don't have the part name but I will know tomorrow after they replace it in case anyone wants to know.

Thanks for the suggestions.
