Hello,
I have a 2003 hyndai sonata with 37000 miles. Occasionally the car will stumble while I am excellarating and the check engine light will come on and go out quickly. My local mechanic did not see any code from the computer. He says that it maybe the catalytic converter. The car does run sluggish sometimes
