2014 Hyundai Santa Fe turbo hesitating

Asked by Beth Feb 09, 2018 at 07:16 AM about the 2014 Hyundai Santa Fe Sport 2.0T AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

This morning I was making a turn and realized I
was about to cut someone off if I didn't speed
up. In that moment it seemed my turbo didn't
want to kick in. It hesitated. My check engine
light came on for about ten seconds and then
went off. It hesitated here and there. Got to my
son's daycare and when I started it up again to
head to work it seems fine.  Anyone have any
input?  It almost  seemed like my turbo got
confused .

It could have, Turbos need to be cleaned, when is the last time you had a full tune-up on the car? plug, wires, air filter and cleaned the turbo and throttle body...
