Hyundai accent high revving during gear change

When lifting the throttle to change gear (manual transmission) the engine over-revs for about five seconds before dropping to allow smooth gearchange. Less of a problem when the engine is cold.

    Do you mean the idle control valve? There's also a similar problem here http://www.fixya.com/cars/t596437-2001_e... according to solution #11 it's normal. Do you think that's right?

    I had the dealer change both the idle control valve and the TPS but made no difference. After several attempts the Hyundai agent admitted it probably wasn't fixable, although changing the EMS might help (it might have a later version of software for example), but there would be no gaurantee. In the end I took it back to the dealer I bought it from and swapped it out for a Getz - which is an excellent car with no similar problems and does almost 600k's in the city on a 40 litre fill up. Highly recommended.

You may have a problem with the idle sensor located near the fuel injection system.

2005 Hyundai Accent high RPMs: Recently purchased a 2005 Hyundai Accent. Took it out on the highway and noticed that at 100 to 110 km\h it runs at about 3000 rpm while in the 5th gear. It's not...

2,500 to 3,000 on a 12 yr old car. Newer vehicles with 6-9 speed auto transmissions sometimes run as low as 2,200. But your gearing is your gearing. Can't change that now.

2002 Auto Hyundai Accent stuck in second gear will not go up

having the transmission rebuilt in 2010 means that the tranny is 7 years old since service so there can be any amount of faults
run the fault codes to check for problem TCM, VSS, servos and solenoids
check the vacuum actuator for the transmission and vacuum lines
change the transmission oil
the engine light also reports on transmission failures

My 2002 Hyundai Accent has about 65,0000 miles and has three issues that I'm hoping are all caused from the same thing. It started "bucking" a few weeks ago and this was first sign of issue....

There's a good chance the Throttle Position Sensor (TPS) has gone bad. Have an electrician bench test it for bad spots (in the potentiometer). You may also have carbon/soot buildup on the throttle body thottle plate causing it to stick. Standard throttle/choke plate cleaner will take care of the throttle plate.

2002 hyundai accent codes p1529 and p0734

P1529 means nothing more than the TCM (transmission control module) has requested that the ECM (engine control module) turn on the check engine lamp.
P0734 basically indicates that your transmission is slipping.
You need to take this car to an authorized repair center for hyundai cars. Replacing the filter and fluid on the transmission might save this transmission but I would be willing to bet that a total transmission rebuild is in order.

Good Luck
