    Elantra blows black smoke when starting in cold weather

    Hyundai Hyundai Advice Hyundai Elantra Hyundai Elantra Advice Hyundai Elantra 2015

    I bought a brand new Hyundai Elantra in April 2015. I was very happy with it until the cold weather when it was difficult to start and it would shake and blow black smoke from the exhaust and fumes would enter in the car. It was very frightening. My car has been back into the dealer, but they don't know how to fix this problem. I am dreading this coming winter. Could you please help me to fix this problem?

    You need to take this problem directly to Hyundai and request the company’s help to fix the problem. It’s possibly an electronic problem that affects the engine when cold, it could be that it’s not getting the fuel enrichment that it needs to start cold. The company is the one that can fix it for you and there’s no reason they can’t.
