Does anyone else have this problem? On Sunday i was coming home from the shore, (I had my air on so i don't know if this is why my car was driving like this) when i got to 60-65 mph my car was kinda jerking like it sputters right before your car dies. and yesterday it was doing it around 25 mph, has anyone else had this problem or know wht could be causing it, i've only had her about 4 monthes so i don't know why she would be doing that.
by the way i have a 2001 tiburon null

I never had that problem in my Tib but did have it in my neon POS. It was the coil pack in the Neon. But my suggestion to you is you paid for the car and the warranty take it to the wonderful Hyundai Technician huh huh sorry hair ball and let them worry about it that's what their payed for. Don't get me wrong people might tell you what the real problem is but why mess with it if someone else is required to you know.

How about some SH!TTY GAS!
I learned my lesson a long time ago. Pulling into a dirt lot gas station to save 1 cent a gallon does not pay! eek.gif

If it's a 2001, take it to the dealership and have them check it out. Everything is still under warranty.

it's supposed to be if you fill your tank up 5 times, your car is supposed to perform better.
