why does my Genesis G70 feel like it’s hesitating when driving

Solution

1. Preparation

• Gather all necessary tools and parts.
• Ensure the vehicle is on a level surface and the engine is off before starting.
• Disconnect the battery to prevent electrical shorts.

2. Replace Air Filter

• Unclip or unscrew the housing cover.
• Remove the old air filter and inspect the housing for debris.
• Install the new air filter, ensuring it fits snugly.
• Reassemble the housing cover securely.

3. Clean Throttle Body

• Remove the throttle body from the intake manifold (ensure the engine is cool).
• Use a throttle body cleaner and a soft cloth to clean the interior of the throttle body.
• Pay special attention to the throttle plate and the bore.
• Reinstall the throttle body and torque to manufacturer specifications.

4. Replace Spark Plugs

• Remove the ignition coil cover if applicable.
• Disconnect the ignition coils and remove them from the spark plug wells.
• Use a spark plug socket to remove the old spark plugs.
• Install new spark plugs, ensuring they are gapped correctly per manufacturer specs.
