Hi all,
new to this forum, but I could use your input on a nagging problem with my i30t...let me explain
i have 2000 i30t bought used about 5 years ago. Last spring (about 72k miles) it started having horrible cold starting problems (below 50 degrees!) and would set off check engine light etc.
i brought in to mechanic and he charged me $1200 to replace all the coils (engine had code p1320), plugs and air filter; of course this didnt help. He then relaced the air flow meter. this helped, but within a week the problem returned and has gotten progressivey worse. i now need to have enging warm (10 min) or it will stall when in drive, and i need to give gas if idling more that 2min (eg at stop light) for first 10 min or so of driving.
i have heard many suggestions about what this could be (fuel pump, EGR, intake manifold gasket) but am a little hesitant to bring in without some idea of the problem...still stinging from the waste of $1200 last time i guessany all comments appreciated!
thanks
brian
