What is your question?
it is ongoing all the time on acceleration attempts, drives like a slug, even worse attempting any hill climb having to drop back a gear to even just make hilltop. I have had a air flow meter and purge valve replaced after a diagnostic with no cure, I have put new spark plugs in also. It makes a deep throaty noise revving up and during acceleration . I noticed today whilst i revved in driveway that it sounded deep throaty noise but during a bit more higher revs it sounded spluttery and sort of tinny sparking noise. best way i could describe it sorry.Hope you can help please as Ive stumped 2 mechanics who helped free of charge.

Have exhaust flow checked. May be a failing catalytic converter. Also, check air intake lines for separation or cracks in them. You can check them by spraying carb. cleaner on them while the vehicle is running and listen for an engine 'surge'.
Free code reading , or Did they actually scan and read LIVE DATA while car was running , and test any systems? Who put the parts on?
yes they both ran a diagnostic on it, came up airflow meter, replaced that and also purge valve at same time,both qualified mechanics, second mechanic more cluey said its possibly cat converter or induction but had never heard a sonata sound like that before. I am taking cat converter off in next few days
Don't need to remove it , if it is clogged , just loosening enough to cause a good 'leak' (in FRONT/before) , would be sufficient for testing.
thanks will do
