| Description of the problem | Car was not driven for 7 days. First day, on a way to work, check engine light went on. On a way home, at green traffic light, i was making left turn, acceleration pedal was pressed and car accelerated as intended but after half a second acceleration pedal stopped working and car slowly moved forward only by inertia. Acceleration pedal was non functional, and engine was running at idle. I was able to safely stop the vehicle on a stop lane, past intersection, with engine still running and non-functional acceleration pedal. Then, i shut off the engine and started it again. Acceleration pedal was working without problem. Mil codes were: p2135 p0221, p2106, p0121 and p2110. Took it to the hyundai dealership in new hudson, mi where some incompetent mechanic could not even diagnose what was the cause blaming the car battery. Car battery is holding charge, currently at 12. 4v and alterantor is charging battery with 14. 2-14. 4v. Car starts without any problem and hesitation. There were no cars coming from opposite direction at intersection so we were not in imminent danger when acceleration pedal lost control. |
