no inertia switch

If it's manual transmission then bump start it. You may find that simply putting it in gear and pushing it a little will wake the starter up.

Check your solenoid

take it to auto zone and have the fault codes read for free come back with the revealed faults

Starter motor.

That sounds like a timing/ cooling system issue. The coolant sensor would adjust the timing etc. Your tech would have to scan the car & check the live readings (HOT & COLD) & check the emissions. Put all the pieces together & solve the puzzle

Do you have a check engine light on? If not there is no problem in the system.

Does the motor crank (starter engaged and turning the motor)? If it does not crank, do you hear the solenoid clicking (engaging the starter gear into the flywheel teeth)?

should be in the owners manual http://justgivemethedamnmanual.com/hyundai/2004-hyundai-accent-owners-manual

What are the fault codes you have? Is the check engine light blinking while driving?

Hi Jc, A fully charged battery is 12.6. The link below is a short youtube video on how to find out if a car battery has a power drain, The video starts with the guy loosening the negative lead to the battery then turns the multimeter on and sets it to 20 DC, plug bottom of lead to current mode and places 1 multimeter lead on top of the terminal inside the negative lead and the other multimeter lead on the negative lead and wiggle the negative lead off the battery, The current being drawn from your battery should be less than (5.0) 50 mille volts..... The reason he takes the negative lead off after connecting the multimeter this is to save any codes from the car as technically the battery isn't disconnected.....CHEERS.. How to Find Car Battery Drain

hook up scanner ck for codes ck fuses and relay

If moving the steering wheel back and forth does not allow you to turn the key then the switch has had it and needs to be replaced.

Buy a light tester first
Connect gator clip to a positive wire battery is best now touch metal this will show ground
Now pull lamp out
Check the wire connections
If no light comes on tester your ground is bad
You can cut wire splice and ground chassis
But always check fuses first
This is how you find grounds
If you installed radio or new electronics
They could have spliced into the ground for lamps
The light switch on dash is another place grounds go bad
Light tester is what you need
Everything else is simple

Throttle position sensor could be the problem
Emmission control parts
You mentioned idler cable
Well there may be a second idler control cable
Some vehicles come with a double cable adjustment
The second adjustment is right above the gas pedal
Turning screw
Alternator giving out not producing charge needed
But overall if your cars idle bogs down the likely culprit is your ac bout to go out
The bearings in compressor wear out so it pulls more on the engine
In turn bringing rpm's down
Your car needs routine maintenance
Ac is an expensive repair so i suggest bypass belt till you can pay to have it fixed

Run the fault codes as it is not valve noise but detonation ( spontaneous combustion) cause by incorrect air/fuel ratio and timing

In the passenger compartment relay box under the dash just left of the steering column.

go on line to hyundai labour and find r&r transmission . there will be recommended hours for labour. remember to add also the hours necessary to do ancillary work like removing axles and anything else that has to be r&r to do the job.

a shredding fan belt? why not get the car checked out.??? buy a SHOP you shut the engine off, and when you do, that it coasts to a stop and did the noise come from the engine bay? and did the noise happen as engine was coasting to its natural stall or after that? noises that happen, not moving are easy to find. so get a competent mech, to find it. it be easy for them.
