Check Engine Light on in 2000 Hyundai Sonata

Well about a month ago the check engine light came on...It was to a garage 3 times since; so far I replaced the oxygen sensor, cad converter, and spark plugs but the light remains on and problem is getting worse. While driving it feels like someone is applying the breaks, the car slows down and then will take off, and when I stop at lights the car will just stall out... Someone said to put in some fuel injector cleaner and already I have spent $80.00 on this stuff without fixing the problem. Please could anyone help me, thanks for any ideas you have to offer :)

My Son's 01 Sonata displayed the exact same systems and it was his catalytic converter. The metallic sounds were the converter guts disintegrating.

SOURCE: 2000 Hyundai Sonata jerking and causing poor performance

The turbine shaft speed sensor can cause this problem, It is also know as the transmission input shaft speed sensor. It will cause the transmission to **** and also stick in 3rd gear, which wound cause slow acceleration.

2012 sonata burning oil- just had oil change and have to add oil- no visible signs of leak

If the oil loss started after oil change check to see if your oil filter is not all the way tight. My oil light came on a couple months ago about a month after oil change. I reached under my truck and could turn the oil filter by hand. Just something to check. Make sure the oil filter is tight and drain plug is not wet may leak at drain plug. Those are the cheep fixes.

2000 Hyundai Sonata GLS V6 - problem started last week when I drove when suddenly the check engine light flashed and the car seemed to stall on me when I stopped at the red light. I thought that car would...

Whenever the 'CHECK ENGINE' light comes on, the ECU (Engine Control Unit) sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). These codes identify the particular engine management system which caused the light to come on. You'll need to use/find an OBDII (On-Board Diagnostic) Scanner to retrieve any code which have been stored in the ECU computer. Afterward, we might be able to help you DIAGNOSE and perhaps eventually fix the problem.
