I have an issue with my Elantra, 2014, 91k miles.
Yesterday, I had a strange problem with my 2014 Elantra. I get off work, jump in, start car (Temp 47*F). Cranks right up, as usual. I hear a faint tapping sound, so I tap the gas pedal and momentarily bring the RPM to 2500. Engine dies as though I shut it off.
Restart one: Normal crank sound but no start
Restart two: Normal Crank, starts to hit, but never catches.
Restart three: Starts to hit more, starter bangs around like engine misfiring.
Restart four: Engine starts. I bring revs to 2500, engine immediately dies.
Restart five: Normal Crank, but no spark, sounds like no compression.
Restart six: Normal Crank, but no spark, sounds like no compression.
Restart seven: Normal Crank, starts to hit, but never catches.
Restart eight: Starts to hit more, starter bangs around like engine is misfiring
Restart nine: Engine starts. Idles low (500rpm) but continues to run.
At this time, I have already called for a tow, called the stealer to let them know I was on my way, So having time, I drive the car around the parking lot. Runs good. I get brave and drive down the road. All is good. I get braver and drive to the Stealer which is about 12 miles away. Car runs perfect. I get to the place, tell the Service writer my issue, and he looks stumped, but says they will look at it. An hour later it comes back, ready to go, with a "can not duplicate" repair. Car has 91K on it, has Never had an issue whatsoever. Never did anything like this before. Started perfectly every time (about 7-8 starts) at the stealer. Said noting they can do, if it does it again, they have it on history now, and will go from there. So wife shows up, we take her car, go get something to eat, come back about 90 minuted later. Car is cold again, just like at work earlier. I get in, start it, fires right up. I bring rpm's to 2500 again, remains running. Drive 37 miles home. No issues. Even coasted down a hill in Neutral, revved engine and let off gas to see if it would stall. It stayed running.
This morning, started it, 52*F, fired right up, let it idle 15 seconds. Blipped throttle to 2500, started to stall. I rapidly tapped the gas, it gurgled and chugged, then smoothed out. It idled at 1000. Revved again and no issue. Drove car. Went up hill and left it in 6th, to the floor. No starvation or other issue. Got to next hill, let it downshift on its own while to the floor. Engine climbed normally to 5k before I let off. Could not duplicate problem since. Car is immaculately maintained.
Going to try to reproduce problem again on my lunch break, and try to get a video. Any help or ideas welcome.
What in the world happened here? Component failing somewhere? Sensor? Glitch in the Matrix? I am at a loss. The only thing that even remotely crosses my mind is fuel pump/pressure issue.But never an issue before, and since. Has anyone had any problem like this or maybe point me in a direction?
