My Santa Fe has been hesitating while accelerating from a stop, and will lose power while traveling a pretty much any speed as if it is not getting enough gas. I have also stalled out about 4 times upon accelerating from a stop. After the last stall, it took me several minutes to get the engine started again. I have been told this could be a hole in the fuel line, trash in the gas tank, or a problem with the fuel filter. Any opinions/experiences/solutions would be appreciated.
