I took my car in for its 60k mile maintenance. I told the mechanic sometimes my car doesn't start. I turn the key and it hits 1000rpms than dies. Sometimes now it doesn't even turn. The thing is, it only has happened three times in the last two months. What could it be? He was not very helpful. He replaced my four year old battery and said that was the problem but then my car had trouble starting yesterday. I have to hold down the gas for a full minute to get the engine to stay on. Have any of you guys had similar problems or know what it could be?
Is it the ignition or starter? By the way, everything else electric worked, so I was skeptical when he said it was my battery.

I have never even heard of that before???
My friend was at work last night and he started his tiburon and he put it in neutral...and revved the engine to the floor and it wouldn't go higher than 3000 rpms..real fricken weird...maybe his intake was clogged. either way that is strange and i got no clue, let me know what happens.. |
