'03 Sonata 2.4L is pinging, power is a little low, fuel economy should be better

Jul 04, 2008 2 Replies
2003 Sonata 2.4L 4 cylinder, 59,000 miles, I just bought it about a month ago. I am getting pinging, especially in hot weather, and my mileage should be better (I'm getting about 18 city, 26 highway, I thought I could get at least 20 city, and 30 or better on the highway).

Does this sound like a bad EGR?



Where can I get a service manual, preferably online?



Thanks for any advice you can give! - John
