2002 Hyundai Sonata - Running Rough

2002 Hyundai Sonata 2.4L Automatic

Vehicle Problem:

Vehicle drove in; Customer stated it was running rough and would not go over 20 mph. Check engine light is on.

Solution:
Test drove to confirm what customer said. The vehicle performed exactly as the customer described. Performed computer diagnostics and retrieved a Code P0302. This is the misfire code for cylinder # 2. Inspected the spark plug and wire. Found it arching though the wire against the cylinder head. Replaced the plugs and wires. Tested ..all ok at this time. Also replaced a collapsed pcv hose (4" of fuel line works fine) these hoses tend to collapsed often.
Cost of repair including diagnostics($69.95) was $234.09 +tax

2004 Honda Odyssey - Idle Surging

Vehicle Problem:

2004 Honda Odyssey - Idle Surging. The Idle goes up and down when sitting at a stop light. Acts like it wants to die.

Solution :

The check engine light was not on. Scan for codes and for an IAC (Idle Air Control) code in the history codes. Contacted my local Honda Dealer parts dept. and was told "we sell these like candy" talking about the Idle Air Control. Had an IAC sent over at a cost of $159.00 and installed it on the vehicle. Tested the operation and all is well now. Another happy customer!!

Diagnostic fee $69.95 , Part installed $234.00 total cost $303.95 +tax.
