Immoboliser Faulty My mother has a 1997 hyundai accent which has run very nicely for over ten years only recently has it begun to give trouble due to its immoboliser I am a qualifed sound technician and have auto electrical experience but cant obtain wiring diagrams to bypass the circuit. Could you help

go to a spares shop and see if the part numbers are the same
I feel that it will be the same but due to the vagaries of engineering you have to check first
are you positive that it is the clutch as a faulty master cylinder will cause the plate slip giving the same indication as a failing clutch

The first thing I would look at would be the fuel filter. Not sure exactly where it's located on your Hundaii but in most cases it can be located under the driver's side just in front of the rear wheel. This is by far the least expensive of fixes and chances are it has never been changed if you haven't done it yourself. Hope this helps.

-Yes this car has power steering.

Change the spark plugs & front or upstream oxygen sensors,
& clean the MAF Sensor

Don't forget to do the timing belt before you get to 100,000 miles

remove back seat bottom cushion to access fuel pump and wires ,the fuel level sensor is mounted to the side of the fuel pump module and will need to be replaced

it Should
but to be safe after all the work to get it in call the Hyundai dealer and ask them what
what interchange year would work on your year and they will tell you

The light is on due to a faulty sensor or SRS module. Call your dealer and see how long the AIRBAG system is warranted.

okay. there could be a couple of problems with your transmission.
1). it's quite possible that the clutch discs inside of your transmission have finally burned out. Hyundai has been known for making faulty transmissions for the accent for the first generation models.
2). if the car doesn't go in first gear, try driving it in normal mode and not economy. the accent purposely pulls in second gear in economy mode, when warmed up, in order to get into the high 30 mpgs.
3). faulty shift control solenoid. These have also been known to be defective with the first generation accent (1995-1999).
4). Your transmission fluid leaked out, prior to the mechanic fixing it, and the high heat building up in the transmission as well as the low amount of fluid in the transmission helped to burn it out.
for options 1 and 4, you wont know the actual problem unless you pull the transmission out and examine all of the clutch discs.
hope this helps...

Ouch, get your wheel bearings checked. I had a 97 Hyundai and in the 3 years I had it, the front bearings had to be replaced twice and the rear once once.

Might want to have the coil pack checked.
