Car Forum / Hyundai Cars / December 20062003 Santa Fe
I have been noticing that my 2003Santa Fe makes a dieseling sound when I accelerate on the gas especially around 35 to 45 miles an hour. This also happens when I drive up a hill. The car has nearly 57,000 miles on it. I was wondering what this possibly could be. Beyond this problem, the car rides great and has never had a problem. I have a 3.5 V-6 engine.

OP - did you switch gas supplies recently or just before this pinging started to occur? Maybe used cheaper independent no-name gas? If your tank could do with a top up I would suggest adding some methyl hydrate to the tank and then top up with known good quality gas and see if the problem goes away.

If the spark knock happens briefly and goes away, it's probably normal. If it tends to remain and continue, you probably need to investigate whether there's a problem. Possible issues would be the knock sensor, EGR system, or anything that would cause the engine to run excessively hot. |
