  • Try doing a spark test on your engine compartment. You will need a dark place to park, a spray bottle of water and a flash light. Park in a dark location and open the hood. Run your engine and listen for the spark. Momentarily turn on the flashlight and spray water in different locations. Turn off the light and look and listen for more sparking. Be careful to not get your hands where you might get shocked or where you might tough moving parts like fan belts or fans.
  • The clicking might be a relay engaging or an air conditioner clutch.

SOURCE: AC works, Heater not working, 2003 Hyundai Accent.

Check the coolant level, do this with a cold engine. Or if you have recently used it. let it cool down for about 25 minutes before removing the radiator cap. if it is low, refill with coolant. If it does not, check your thermostat. Or better yet replace your thermostat. Be sure to get the right one . the same degrees as your old one. Just ask the teller to give you one for your engine size and car Model.And year.See where the radiator cap is. Then drain some coolant to where it will not spill from the radiator cap. Remove the hose nearest the radiator cap and you will get to the thermostat housing. Remove the housing and note how the thermostat is placed. Take of the thermostat housing and the old thermostat. Clean the housing and around the hole where the thermostat goes of any deposits. Get some grease and cover the new gasket with grease on the housing to hold it in place. replace the New thermostat and make sure it is flush with the engine and the housing. If it is off , you could break the housing upon tightening the housing.replace the hose and refill with coolant slowly to eliminate any air spaces.. Also check the coolant reservoir and fill it to the indicator line. Restart the car and chek for any leaks. Then check the heater after the engine heats up. If that does not do the job it could be the temperature sensor or the heater core.The heater core will take more time to check and clean or replace.

SOURCE: 2000 Hyundai Accent plug gap

Under the hood you will find a white sticker, about 2-3 inches wide. On it will have the engine size/group and the spark plug gap and other service information. Good luck

I have a 08 Hyundai Accent and it has a slight Miss not too sure what it could be

First, I would change the spark plugs..(USE the factory recommendations), then crank it up at night(DARK AREA), raise the hood, and look for spark plug wire shorts..(they show up as blue arc's off the plug wires).. if you see any.. replace the wire(s).. Install a new air filter. This is the least expensive route and would a good mechanic would do..(it will also increase your milage)..
IF this does not cure it.. time to check the injectors... this requires a qualified professional...they will help you from here on...Good Luck!!!

Buddy has a 2004 hyundai accent, 1.6l I replaced coils about a month ago, and they have blown again, anyone run into a problem like this Hate to keep replacing coils any idea of what cause's coils to keep...

Verify that the plugs are gapped properly & be sure to clean the area they install in & by all means use di-electric grease on the top of the plug & bottom of the coils. Unfortunately, coils can accept the spark back into themselves causing arcing & such just as easily as they can send a spark through the insulator of the spark plug , if that path is easier.
Di-electric grease has been recommended for High energy ignitions since the mid '80s as it does aid in keeping the spark channeled through the plug. Also, check your ground strap from the firewall to the engine & be sure it is a good connection on both ends. Good luck.

Cylinder 1 misfired in my hyundai accent

Most likely just a bad spark plug or ingnition wire, change spark plugs with original equipment plugs. That is the most common problem could also be faulty injector.

No spark from spark plugs.

Another person had a similar issue with their 2003 Hyundai 1.6L engine. Their fix after looking at many things was that their ECM relay had gone bad. The relay is located in a box under the hood. The box has fuses and relays ... usually there is a legion or map of what is where on the underside of the box cap/lid. The relay is about the size of a one inch cube.
