2002 Hyundai Accent - Page 7 - Answered Questions & Fixed issues

have vehicle code checked most auto stores offer this service for free the trouble code will give u a place to start repairing ur problem

Have the fault codes read Replace the faulty units with genuine one because most aftermarket units are not setfor OEM cpu units and are not completely compatible

When the check engine light flashes it means DONT RUN IT or you will damage the engine. There are codes that your mechanic pulled from the computer, WHAT ARE THOSE CODES?

check that the ac is actually not working by checking to see if the front bit is spinning with the pulley. If it is then you have a globe problem If it is not check for wires to ac compressor disconnected .

some off these have a bung on the side of the gear box instead of a dipstick car needs to be running and level to check trans level

The dipstick tube is the transmission fluid full point for the majority of automatic transmission vehicles.

mabye no tran fluid or bad trans

Replace the battery most time the alternator goes out it shorts the battery out

could be leak no gas.

Hi there,When you press in the Overdrive (OD) switch, this simply allows your gearbox to use the highest gear (when it needs to). For example, if your transmission has 1,2 & D gears, the OD acts as a 4th gear. This is useful on open roads and will help with economy.If the OD light remains ON, then you have deactivated the 4th gear. This means the car will change up to 3rd gear only, until you depress the OD switch again.Deactivating the OD is useful, when you wish to "manually" change down to 3rd gear, to climb a hill, or need better acceleration.

I don't know if you are asking a question or making a statement.If you are asking how to remove the shifter nob on your vehicle then knowing if it is auto or manual would be nice. Without knowing that its hard to give advice if its manual then you pull a metal ringed sleeve down and remove three little screws which hold the shifter to the shaft. The nob will slide off after removal of the three screws. If you have a automatic transmission then removing that nob is a little more difficult.

When you say your car struggled to start I would assume you are trying to start it early in the morning. In states where you are well below freezing not only do you need some sort of heating blanket or oil heater on the vehicle's engine but you need to let the vehicle defrost or un freeze before you go trying to start it and drive it. The coolant being low hardly has anything to do with the engine starting. If your engine struggles to start in the mornings after a below freezing night then again I would assume your oil is next to frozen and your trying to put a spark on a ice cold block. which is just asking for issues. If you do have a oil heater and your car is still presenting issues then the problem may be else were... As for your antifreeze dis appearing, If you do not have a coolant leak then one of two things is happening your either leaking coolant into your block, or you are burning the coolant somehow,

If your vehicle is struggling to start and idles very rough then it usually symbolizes that you need a tune up. Without more information though I am limited on the advice I can give. I would suggest replacing the spark plugs and possibly the wires if need be. Maybe try a fuel cleaner I know there are a few popular ones out there like Techron that can clean out your injectors pretty well. Once you have completed that and the issue persists then you may have other issues such as the Throttle Possition Sensor could be going out again not sure without more information.

If you turn your key and get no response its scary I am sure. I need to know a few things to get a better idea on what is happening. 1) Are your connections loose on your battery terminals? 2) Did it have any warning or did it just give zero responce one day?

crank sensor or cam sensor

Here's a link to your relays,join the site it's free,then you can use there repair guides like me.

Let it break in,Some engine rebuilders use diffarent tolerances.Just keep it to the full line and when you change the oil the first time check it for anything out of the ordinary.You may want to try a differant oil all together.What oil is in it now?What weight/brand of oil?

if when they built the motor they did not seperate the ring gaps in different spots around the pistonsso all the gaps dont line up on rings

Could be the Sensor wasn't the problemYou could have a dirty MAF Sensor--Clean itHave the intake,exhaust,egr & evap --smoke tested forvacuum leaksCheck wiring for connection issues,corrosion,etcI would have scoped the old sensor, as the code wasfor switching time- slow responseI would also look at fuel pressure & fuel trim withscan tool.You could have a failed exhaust converter,that is whatthe sensor is looking at,exhaust going in to it or oxygencontent to report back to PCMYou can get several codes for one sensor at one time or more than one sensor at one timeNeed to develop you own approach to trouble shootingthingsThe more knowledge & especially the best of professional toys is the way to goThere is no reason for a repair shop to do that to you,but then again, we have a few thousands souls here everyweek screwed over,that's why their here

how old is the battery? how you checked the alternator belt? and have you checked the wire going back to the battery
