HI,

Please check your spark plugs or have your transmission checked. It could be a clutch problem if it's manual.

Do let me know if I was helpful.

Regards

the adjustment is inside the passenger compartment. will give you the instructions i have:
1. fully release the brake lever
2. pull the parking brake lever with normal effort. maximum travel should be 6 to 8 clicks
3.remove the console and adjust the cable length by turning the nut on the equalizer
4.recheck the parking brake stroke and adjust the stroke as necessary
5.loosen the parking brake switch mounting bolt. adjust the switch so that when the lever is fully released, the switch lamp goes out, and when the lever is pulled one click the switch lamp illuminates.
6.if the switch does not operate as described, check the switch lamp bulb. if the bulb is good, replace the switch.
7. after the adjustment make sure that the rear brakes do not drag when the parking brake lever is released.
8. install the console
hope that helps

you need to get a diagrm . try googel . timming marks for your car . if the belt broke while driving more then likley there is engine damage

First, is the radiator fan coming on? If not, you will need to check fuse,sensor, relay and fan motor. Need to check thermostat for proper operation. If all is good, you will need to have radiator flush. Keep me informed and I can guide you so more.

Check your Idle Air control Valve and your EGR valve. Most of the time these will not set off codes but will give you problems like this and are easy enough for a none mechanic to fix it

I do not know if this is problem or not but many of the automobiles made today have a steering pump that reacts to engine speed. The faster you go (to a point) the more taunt the steering. This is to give you feel of road and keep from over steering. Either you are not used to this or the pump or pump back feed information has a problem.

Try some higher octane fuel.
Otherwise its sounds like its time for a tuneup.

your battery might not have enough cold cranking amps to get your motor running. consider upgrading to a stronger battery. but first take your current battery to a auto parts store and have a load test done on it.

HI THERE YOU NEED THE IDLE SPEED VALVE SETTING UP.

can be timing im fraid? that or headgasket which is an expensive fix unfortunatley, if at the same time your timing is out by at least one toothe either way it can have this effect on your car but you would prob notice someting in the drive. ie:is it smooth or not?

This isn't answer but a couple of things to check or do. First has fuel filter been replaced? Start car and put it in gear. HOLD Brake and Give it gas while still holding brake hard!!!! Doess it buck or miss fire? You said it ran bad to highway. Explain Please !!! will answer after you reply.

Replace the Idle Air Control valve.

Have you check it for spark when it won't start?

A couple of Questions first. Over head cam? If over head does it have a belt? Have you checked fuses? You can check to see if you get a pulse at cam sensor. It will be in mill volts. You need to check power at coil and also going to cam sensor. Did it die quick or ? Check these then I'll get back.

If a speed sensor, pulse generator, or shift solenoid is bad, it would make it stay in 3rd. But it would haft to flag a transmission code first. Have it scanned for codes first. If the tcm is bad, you won't be able to scan it.

Most cars I have encountered with misfire problems were the result of several problems.   1.  Were factory recommended parts installed? (ie. Mazda uses NGK plugs not champion plugs.) I am also not an advocate of splitfire plugs and other after market parts. 2.  When was the last time the plug wires were changes?  I normally change mine every 60,000 miles regardless of engine trouble.   3.  When was the last time the cap and rotor for the ignition system changed?  Same as plug wires,I change them every 60,000 miles. 4.  If you accidentally crack the porcelain on any of the spark plugs, then you can also expect a misfire. 

my mechanic told me you cant adjust the tappets on these Hyundais because they have hydraulic tappets.He told me to just use premium fuel to stop the rattle.I use 1/2 premium and 1/2 regular unleaded to make it a bit easier on the pocket.
good luck dude

If this car is injected it may be worn injector nozzles; ie they leak the fuel from the pressurised line into the cylinders after you've switched the engine off. The engine will then be hard to start for some time. If this is the case you'll need to remove & replace the injector nozzles.

try pushing the clutch to the floor with you toes if it starts and won't unless you push to the floor its the clutch start switch 22 bucks at auto zone i will be gettng help installing the new one i will let you know.
