Hey all, I have a 2002 Sonata with ~70k miles on it.  Lately it's been
trying to stall at idle in the heat.  I made an appointment at the
dealership, but they can't see me til next Monday.  It is idling low (closer

drive. No question it is better. I would say that it is close to where
it was when new. The pedal is still lower than I think it should be,

Hyundaitech,
Do you have any recommendations for timing belts from aftermarket
vendors? I'm going to be getting mine replaced pretty soon so I am
curious if there are any good or bad ones.

I thought the GPS navigations systems were nifty, but could not justify
spending hundreds of dollars for it.  I've been driving for 46 years using
my senses and maps and I've managed to find my house every time.
So, given a $500 gift certificate to an electronics store by my ...

had the car engine off, but the vent/AC was in the on position.  I
then started the car after 5 mins to get the A/C cold again.  At that
point I noticed a burning electrical type smell and small amount of
