domcost Posted August 7, 2012 Share Posted August 7, 2012 Hi TaffySounds like it could be your battery is starting to go. Thats what mine did and then the battery died. Is your battery still the original battery? Might be worth checking it.....RegardsDom Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

taffy Posted August 8, 2012 Author Share Posted August 8, 2012 Thanks for that, I still have the original battery so will replace it, the fuel filter was changed 6000 kms ago so will change thatv as well, my son suggested that it could be overfuelling.Brian Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

swanny Posted August 9, 2012 Share Posted August 9, 2012 Hi Taffy,Worst case scenario is that you injector pump might be buggered! Same thing was happening to me and was diagnosed as being worn out injector pump, Hyundai wanted $5000 for the fix ($2600 pump, $2400 labour)Ended up sourcing a brand new pump for $1300 and had it fitted for $400!Cheers,Paul Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ozzie Posted August 13, 2012 Share Posted August 13, 2012 I used to have the same issue with a power chip fitted.Took it out, and have never had an issue since, low battery, old fuel filters and all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
