Replaced 0xygen sensor in 2003 Hyundai Accent 3 Times Not Fixed!

I have a 2003 Hyundai Accent with a 16 DOHC 4 cylinder engine. My check engine light came on a few months ago and I had the codes read. The codes were p0030 and p0133. They came up as being a possible bad oxygen sensor (front position before the catalytic converter) or a bad electrical connection. I purchased a Bosch OE Type sensor from auto zone, put it in, disconnect the battery to reset the check engine light, but after driving the car for 100 miles the light came back on. I had the codes read and the same codes came up. I took the O2 sensor back to auto zone and asked for a new one. They gave me a new Bosch OE type sensor and I installed it, but the light came on again. So I order an Hyundai OEM Factory Oxygen Sensor, installed it, and the same story. The check engine light came back on. In order to beat a dead horse i figured I would try a universal sensor. I bought a Denso 4 wire O2 sensor, installed it, cleaned and put electrical grease on the connections, but I am still getting the same codes. What in the world could possibly be wrong with my car. I took it to a ASE mechanic and he told me that my oxygen sensor was bad. I told him I already replaced it and he said that he would have to start by replacing it again and then figuring it from there. I have to pass emissions in 1 month. P.S. I also replaced my 2nd bank oxygen sensor with a factory OEM sensor from Hyundai. Any help or advice would be greatly appreciated!

Oil leak 2002 hyunai accent-replaced valve cover gasket, what else?

2002 hyundai accent , gas or Diesel NO VIN posted.
no engine told at all and is a pure engine quesiton.
no vin told or country. (so books on it can be read)
the misfire can be lots things.
why not scan the PCM first and see P03xx errors. or more.
the gen2 model came new with one of these,nobody can guess.
the engine is MISFIRING, sure power loss, sure.
the first question is do all 4 cylinders misfire or just 1 or 2
facts and test matter on all engine diagnosis, guessing fails. hard.
if that oil leak did not leak in to COP spark wells the leak is a SIDE SHOW to nowhere. oK, no COPS on a DIESEL.
misfire is engine bad, spark bad,and fueling bad. in that roder
if all fail, the cam belt slipped at 100k miles. on 1.6L ,no me looking them all up now. no engine told
  • Cam belt ignored for 20 years, no way !
  • VVT bad.
  • heat gasket blown.
  • valves burnt in head.
  • spark plugs or cops boots or all 8 parts
  • valves ping broke(head)
  • coolant leaks to combustion chambers for the bad act of using only water for AF antifreeze 50% correct.
  • these are not gessing those are legit failure mode, 20 or more possible inside the engine or attached.
  • injectrors bad or clogged.partly or leaking
  • fuel pressure 2 time normal and FPR stuck closed and bad.
  • or stuck one and too low fuel pressure. or fuel pump bad.
  • I can to more, but this list shows why we do tests and not guess. buy the tools or get the car fixed by shops with tools
engine compression way low x4. <150psi , cam belt slipped.
spark tested bad, any and all Hyundai engines are interference..
that means if cam is belt driven and ignored, it can bend valves
easy as pistons hit(crash-into) head valves.$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$

2001 Hyundai accent - runs OK for about 40 miles on interstate. Then car seems to drop a cylinder and runs very rough. The check engine light does NOT come come on and there is no error code

Hi.

1. make sure you have the correct type spark plugs installed.
2. no vacuum leaks - lose air pipes
3. Check the Oxygen sensor "upstream" - remove it and see if it is sooted (black) then replace if needed.

hope this helps

WHERE IS THE SERPENTINE BELT LOCATED ON A 2003 HYUNDAI SONATA

Vehicles Covered: Hyundai Sonata 2002-2004 (2.4L & 2.7L Engines)

In 2003, Hyundai produced two types of Sonata:
Available engines:
4 Cylinders 2.4L VIN "S", MFI DOHC - see Figures 1 and 3.
6 Cylinders 2.7L VIN "H", MFI DOHC - see Figures 2 and 3.

To differentiate between these types of 2003 Hyundai Sonatas, the VIN 8th digit (Engine Type) will either be "S" or "H" as in the table above.

To locate the Engine drive belt, jack up the vehicle & place it onto jack stands, then slide under the car (toss a cardboard mat down first), then, once under the car, remove the (plastic) engine splash shield. Once removed, the drive & accessory belts are easily observed.

The "COMPRESSOR" refers to the A/C compressor, and "GENERATOR" refers to the Alternator.

Fig. 2 Accessory Drive Belt Routing 2.7L (6 cyl) Engine - Hyundai Sonata
The Belt Routing on the Left is "With A/C", on the Right is "without A/C"

Inspection - Drivebelt and Accessory Belts

Inspect the drive belt for signs of glazing or cracking. A glazed belt will be perfectly smooth from slippage, while a good belt will have a slight texture of fabric visible. Cracks will usually start at the inner edge of the belt and run outward. Worn or damaged drive belts should be replaced.

Drivebelt Removal & Installation - 2003 Sonata (2.4L and 2.7L engines)

Raise and support the vehicle.
Remove the engine splash shield.
Rotate the drive belt tensioner clockwise to release the drive belt tension.
Remove the drive belt from the alternator.
Slowly release the drive belt tensioner.
Remove the drive belt from the accessory drive pulleys.

To install:

Install the drive belt to the accessory drive pulley.
Rotate the drive belt tensioner clockwise.
Install the drive belt to the alternator.
Ensure the drive belt is properly aligned and seated into the grooves of the accessory drive pulleys.
Slowly release the drive belt tensioner
Install the engine splash shield.
Lower the vehicle.

Here's the best illustration I can find of the Hyundai 2.4L and 2.7L engines - the drivebelt seems to be located on the passenger side of both of these transversely mounted engines.

2003 Hyundai Sonata with 4 cyl. PO301 error code. Have replaced spark plugs, wires, coil packs, and mass air flow sensor. Replaced air filter due to heavy gas smell. Car was starting after tapping gas 3...

P0301 - Cylinder 1 Misfire Detected.

Possible Causes:
- Improper spark plug at cylinder #1
- Insufficient compression at cylinder #1
- Incorrect fuel pressure
- The injector circuit is open or shorted at cylinder #1
- Fuel injector #1 may be faulty
- Intake air leak at cylinder

Possible Solutions:
- Perform Injector Service
- Replaced Spark Plug #1
- Replaced Injector #1
- Replaced Ignition Coil #1

Being you have a heavy gas smell I would look into the injectors. If injector #1 is over producing it can cause a misfire. Test your compression and fuel pressure.

Faulty sensors in my hyundai accent.

Whenever the 'CHECK ENGINE' light comes on, the ECU (Engine Control Unit) sets a Diagnostic Trouble Code (DTC). These codes identify the particular engine management system which caused the light to come on.
You'll need to use/find an OBDII (On-Board Diagnostic) Scanner to retrieve any code which have been stored in the ECU computer. Afterward, we might be able to help you DIAGNOSE and perhaps eventually fix the problem.

2003 Hyundai Accent with Engine skip...error code P0300 P0301

I have seen coil packs go bad on several Hyundai Accents, the coils will do exactly what they are supposed to (hence your check with an ohm meter), however, the coils short through the outer casing. Try running the car when it is dark out and spraying the coil packs with water. Listen for clicking and watch for arching from the coils to any metal around them. Look for abnormal detonation marks in the outer casing. My guess is you just need a set of new coils. If the Problem is worse in the rain then you have found your problem. Remember, If your car has been misfiring (as noted by the engine codes you listed), the EGR valve can become clogged and damage can be done to your catalytic converter as unburned fuel detonates inside it (keep an eye out for O2 codes in the future). Also, your new plugs can become fouled, be sure they are clean once you fix the problem. Checking your plugs can also be a useful indication of which cylinder is misbehaving.
