commonly this is called an air box, but describe it as an air filter box or chamber, to avoid confusion

Go to local Auto Zone,or check their website-you can get copies of shop procedures/specs for free-has the mechanic tried alldata cd??

Yes that is ture. Many cars get a vibration on the valves during certain rpm's. The only thing you can really do is either get a bottle of oil stabalizer witch is a really thick goo that you add to oil to make it a little thicker. This does help tremendously with the vibration. You other choice is to use synthetic oil instead of regular.

When the ABS light is on that tells you that the ABS is not working. Start with the easy stuff, first check the fuse, then check the plug at each wheel. Every time this has happened on one of my cars it has been a plug. The brakes will still work normally you just won't have the anti lock feature.

You have to remove the oil filler cap and then remove the fancy black plastic cover which is labeled "DOHC 16V" and which has the Hyundai emblem on it.

hiya bonnie if you intend to DIY the brakes ? front pads? or rear shoes ? the front pads are easy enough for you to change in fact the pads/and calipers are virtually the same as ford and peugeot they are sliding type calipers that are held in position by 2x bolts that screw into the pins from rear of caliper when bolts removed the caliper pulls off reassembly is reverse after you push piston back the pads fit into the caliper carrier then refit/secure the caliper and pump brake pedal to take up the pads to discs B4 you move car then!bleed each brake a couple of pumps till fluid is clean the fluid that comes out first will be dirty due to heat absorbsion resulting in spongy pedal you will find pedal is more positive/hard when you bleedbrakes as i suggested brake fluid does absorb heat and moisture over time that is why it is recommended you bleed fluid to clear old fluid in lines nearest the cylinders hope this helps ? if you req further help come back will be glad to help best wishes from rochdale

I might have a solution. I have the same problem. I just got an 09 accent and I think it is going to be a great project car to performance up but have problems finding parts because it is so new. I found a company that can help us with our problem. They are called KFX Performance, it is a specialty company for Korean aftermarket car parts. The only problem the representative told me, which you can get his info. on the website, is that they are having trouble bringing out the parts because I believe he said of either patent or demand problems. He did state that soon they are going to put the parts on sale. When I talked to him on the phone I stated that they would have plenty of people buying their parts because of the growing accent community, So do me a favor and help me spread the word so we can get some good parts going for this car, I am with you on the performance thing. The representative stated that in the future they are going to bring out the headers and possible turbo kit, I know nice. They offer headers now for a 1.6L engine but it is for the 06 Kia Rio. He told me to go to a Kia dealer and find out if the 06 Rio and the 09 accent share the same engine set up, if they do then I can be gold for a custom header job or I can just wait until they come out for the accent. He did state that just with their headers that they offer now you can get 9hp and if you get a high flow cat you can get another 9hp as well, very nice and with a AEM short ram intake that is a great start. Let me know what you think.

yes you can go on ebay there is loads to choose from

There's one under the hood, on the right side... labeled Fuse Box and then there's another on the left side of the steering wheel, near the signals, behind the little fold out compartment (which you have to take out to get at the fuses)

OK on most Hyundais the bulb is held in place with what seems like a complicated system but it is quite easy and takes maybe 20 minutes. Open the hood and where the headlight is on the inside of the hood there should be a large rubber cover that covers up all of the headlight apparatus. Peel that back some and you should see the electrical connectors for the headlights. Using a screwdriver or something similar disconnect the electrical connector at that point you should be able to access the inner part where the bulb is. The bulb is held in place with what looks like a paper clip that has been bent at a lot of weird angles. What you will need to do is apply pressure on the free end of this paper clip looking contraption and it will lift up and the bulb pops out. Put the new bulb in, Pop the paper clip looking thing back into place, re-connect the electrical connectors and put the rubber cover back on. Then do the other side, it is best to do headlights in pairs because as soon as you do one side a week later the other side will burn out. You can generally also buy them as a pair a little bit cheaper. Hope this helps

hi from uk answer is yes the mirror glass can be bought on its own at least here in the uk HALFORDS do a selection of these for various models also a mirror glass that simply sticks to the cracked glass full surface by a backing of double sided glued cushion pad so assume your location will have these at motor supermart ? if not then you can do as i have done in past ? make a card template of mirror then cut or have cut ? your own mirror then double sided tape will do the same job?

sometimes the oil filter gasket will stick when you take off the oil filter. leaving a double ring on the filter. this is a common mistake and is made alot when you take it to a place like jiffylube or even when you do it yourself. Just make sure the next time you have it changed or change it yourself crank the car and then look under it for a few seconds. when it builds up oil pressure if the double ring happened you will see it leake out.

hello,
1st) what type of tires do you have on (what make, model ande messure)? I know they came with the car but it sounds more like a problem to be dealed with the tyre manufacturer...
2) what do you use the tires for? do you just drive in the street with them to go to work/school or do you race/autocross with them.? my car has 13000 km and I'm on my 4th set of tires because of autocross. They just won't hold long if you use them like that.
3) please look at your tires and search fot the treadwear, it's a number between 0 and.....400 or so,
regular tires should have about 380 treadwear. the higher the number the more they will last, because the compound is harder, but they won't have good grip. the lower the treadwear the better grip you have and the safer it is to race/drive BUT they won't last for long. the tires my hyundai had when I bought him where some kuhmo kh15 with treadwear 380. regular tires....
please answer to be able to give you some more advice...

This would be a major engineering job, it would be time consuming and very costly if new original parts were to be used and i suspect it would invalidate your warranty.

Would it not be better to trade in your car for an automatic version?

how was the ECM broken? and who diagnosed the ECM as the problem? thanks -jeff
