Problem overview

Some Hyundai Tucson owners report experiencing issues with slow acceleration, which may be attributed to problems with the AVR system, spark plugs, or fuel pump. Specifically, a clogged or dirty AVR system can restrict fuel flow into the engine, leading to sluggish performance. Additionally, worn or fouled spark plugs may hinder combustion, resulting in reduced power. Furthermore, a malfunctioning fuel pump can prevent the appropriate amount of fuel from reaching the engine, further impacting acceleration. Owners are advised to seek a professional inspection if they suspect any of these issues to ensure proper diagnosis and resolution.
