There are multiple possibilities for your symptoms. How many miles are on your car? Is the engine light on while running? There are somethings you can do and check. Please look at your owners manual and verify that maintenance is up to date. You can remove and clean the MAF sensor and Throttle Body. If you are not familiar with cleaning these components, ask first. Special care must be taken. You can contact the dealer (service dept.) or a professional shop to see if there are any Recalls or Service Bulletins pertaining to your issue. If the car has more than 50k miles. Ask a mechanic (that you trust) to inspect the A/T fluid (both for level and color). You will need to drop it off for a few hours. The tech will need time for the fluid to cool down before checking. The A/T fluid level is checked from the bottom (does not have a dip stick) and he or she will use a scan tool to verify temperature to check level then color. Traditionally the dealer will refuse to inspect or change the transmission fluid until it reaches 100k miles. I highly recommend changing the fluid as needed and as early as 50k miles. After that you may want to send the car in for diagnostics. There is a lot going on in todays engines. Any number of faults could cause a shift issue. Please let me know if there is anything else. Good Luck.

The Hyundai online shop manual and my newly arrived Hyundai shop manual kept pointing to the coil as a possible problem. While preparing to check coil continuity I discovered the pigtail connected to the bottom of one of the coils was loose and the contacts were burned. This is the coil that supplies spark to plugs 1 & 4, the same ones that kept showing up each time the check engine light illuminated. After cleaning the contacts and making sure the pigtail was securely attached to the base of the coil I have had no further problems.

it is usually given to the owner and in the glove compartment or in the kit area for the jack if you still can not find it Lexus wheel locks have a unique shank on the base and can only be replaced at the dealer so ask the dealer

Hi Derrick, Have look at the rubberized plastic intake manifold ducting. between the throttle body and the air flow sensor. These ducts break and let in un metered air and cause a lack of power and and even misfiring. If it's broken underneath and difficult to detect or see it may have gone unnoticed. A leakage of air from there can cause the fault readings recorded during a scan. Regards John
