if you have not had problems with your car the most probable thing is you need to replace your maf sensor you can also jut remove it and cleane it with alcohol then reset your cars computer by removing the positive cable from your car for about 2 minutes and placing it back it will clear the engine code

Check for headlight relay and fuse. Some cars have separate circuits for head light flasher and normal high/low beam. From your description, I would suspect a bad connection to/from relay or relay itself.

Since you have listed this Accent as a 2006 AND 2007, Go to www.hmaservice.com and register( Vehicle by VIN). Afterward, you have access to shop manuals, service bulletins, wiring diagrams, etc. about your vehicle.

you need to take the car on a nice long drive after you boost it if the same thing happens then you have a defective battery

dear friend-i think you must first check the fans manually to see if they work,if they do then when you you reach working tempreture,feel the top and bottom radiator hoses they should be the same temp,if not the thermostat is at fault,if yes then ckeck the thermo-switch,

If it is a heavy knock it sounds mechanical and I'd have it checked before something bad goes. If it is that of a clicking sound I expect it is a sticking, failed or failing valve lifter. Given the year of your car this may be under warranty in your power train warranty,
I hope this may have helped,

unhook the plug connection.
take a 13mm wrench or 14mm wrench and losses it off screw.
And install back. very easy 15 minute

Let me know

Most change intervals are around 60,000 klm.

check the drive belt tension and condition,system may have air in it, check fluid level check line for signs of leaking, also there may be some internal wear in pump

hi lookin glovr box for key lock or ask deal

likely two different issues ... the clutch that allows the compresser to operate is controled by several things
1. if refrigerant (r134a) is low then the clutch will cycle or not come on at all as the pressure in the system drops below a critical value .. in general if this is the case it may work better (for longer) if it is really hot out .. and maybe not at all when its cool
2. the system detects the fact that the front blower is turned on before it will allow the compressor to operate .. could you have damaged the fan speed switch assembly or wire connectors while kicking or changing the resistor ???
3. the switch that detects low refrigerant pressure could be bad and that switch sometimes operates a relay that has a high failure rate in some car makes ..that would be called the compressor clutch relay, AC relay or some such ...the nature of this relay problem is that the clutch turns on and off randomly then eventually doesnt come on at all ..

if there is no damage to the blower switch or wiring then i would check the refrigerant pressure .. in r134 systems slow leaks are often seen that cause the pressure to drop to the point where the system cant make up its mind about running. typically the compressor will run for a few seconds at a time .. a steady but fast cycling (not random) you can get a r134 pressure gage at any auto parts shop but you should know how to use it or find someone that does ..

new r134a air con gas does not lubricate seals unless working all the time therefore the gas leaks from around the joints probably needs a regas

Hi, the first check you will want to do is on the a/c clutch. you want to make sure of its operational value. Turn the engine on and raise the hood. make sure the a/c button and controls are on as if you wanted the air to blow cool. while the a/c is in the on position, inspect the clutch action under the hood. the clutch should click in a cycle. this engages the compressor device. it should cycle on and off in a 3 minute interval. if this compressor clutch is not working and it is not clicking, this will be the main issue. a/c clutch failure.

Now, if the clutch is working and, it is cycling on and off in a quick motion, this Will confirm a low charge state and, you will need to recharge the system with a recharge kit or you can take to the local dealership or mechanic.

Ok, if the system has a good charge and the clutch and compressor are ok, this will confirm compressor failure. if the compressor cant do its job by compressing the refrigerant in a proper manner, it will not cool properly. it will spin but, it will not cool.

You will find the problem in one or all of the areas above. i recommend checking the clutch action first then, go from there. make sure the a/c in-dash switch is working as well. this is a problem spot.

Please rate and have a great ady:)

This indicates your airbag is not working properly have it checked, and don't follow the car in front of you to closely when heading out to do this.

The brakes can need replacing in 18,000 miles, if you do a lot of city driving (frequent stops, using the brakes). The rotors if they cannot be re-surfaced (machined) to acceptable tolerances must be replaced.It is not normal for a alternator cable to fail that quickly, but it is possible

on the low side,,yes,, but I believe you hold the can upright and let the compressor **** in the freon as a gas,,,,,,not upsidedown can as a liquid,,,you can speed it along a little by sitting the freon can in a container of very warm water

replace the turn signal switch

Hello;
The check engine light is on because of a problem trhat needs attention. Get the code checked and repaired as soon as you can. It is probably minor now.
Thanks;
