#18 of 47 O2 sensor by nogottalexus Dec 10, 2007 (10:27 am)
at 2800 miles my accent O2 sensor went out. dealer said it was probably bad from the factory. replaced under warranty.   tried to rent an accent from hertz, was all set and when got to hertz place, they said the check engine lite was on. this was the first indication that my sensor was out on my car.   anyone else had sensor problems?

Replying to: suzyq9241 (Dec 22, 2007 4:34 pm) Do you know when the fluid was changed, at least month and year? If so, maybe you could either get a copy of the cancelled check(s) or ask your credit card company for a copy of the bills for those months, showing the payments to the shops.
#21 of 47 tensioner spring by shawnweb Dec 25, 2007 (1:53 am)
Hi, I was trying to change my timing belt and tensioner. I removed everything and was putting in a new tensioner. However, I'm having a problem putting the spring back on. Somehow, I need to compress the spring to fit it around the tensioner and the other piece. I tried every type of pliers and hose clamps. I spent over six hours working on this lousy stupid one dollar spring. This can't be that hard. You would think if it was so difficult to put back on there would be some explanation in auto manuels. ANy help is greatly appreciated.

#23 of 47 Engine Sputtering by vthuppil Jan 04, 2008 (7:44 am)
About two days ago, the engine on my 2000 Hyundai Accent started sputtering at low rpms (below 2,000 rpm) when driving and I had to downshift to get rid of the sputtering. But when I revved the engine on neutral, there was no sputtering.   This had happened in the past during cold temperatures and it only happened here again this winter when the temperature fell to about -10 C for the first time, so I didn't pay much attention to it. However, yesterday, the problem worsened and the sputtering expanded to higher rpms (about 3,000 rpm). Also, there was a ping noise that would come.   Unfortunately, my trusted mechanic is on his annual vacation and I have no idea when he gets back. So I had to take it into one of the chain service stations and the mechanic there says that he couldn't read the code for the engine light completely, but said I needed to change the catalytic converter, which costs apparently 675 dollars. Could a catalytic converter be the cause of this sputtering, since it happens only when driving and the catalytic converter is involved in cleaning up the gases post combustion? Wouldn't it more likely be something regarding fuel injection or moisture in the engine compartment or something?   I realize even more the value of an honest, trusted mechanic. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.
#24 of 47 reversing into garage by litesong1 Jan 12, 2008 (12:17 pm)
My wife & I bought a 2008 Accent that she...& I...are v. pleased with. I 'm astounded by how well the clutch & 5speed short throw transmission work so wonderfully together! Shifting & engaging the clutch is the 2nd smoothest I've ever experienced on cars that I've driven...just wonderful.   However, two things I note when reversing into the garage in which the driveway is at a fairly steep upward angle. First, the engine cuts out without warning if I let the rpms get a bit too low on the driveway. My wife notices this characteristic too. The rpms have to be quite low. Its not like I have to back up at 2500+rpms. Its just something to get used to. Also, some times I notice a smell...maybe a bit of clutch burn? As I said, I'm not over revving to keep the car from stalling. So I find this clutch(?) smell surprising. Might it just be the newness of the drivetrain?
#25 of 47 2000 Hyundai Accent GL Starting Issues by jcw3 May 04, 2008 (12:09 pm)
Lately I've been having starting issues with my 2000 Hyundai Accent GL which always turns over on the first crank. One particular day last week, it started up right away until I shut the engine off at one of my routine stops for the day. Car would not start. Waited about 15 minutes and tried again before it finally turned over like it normally does on the first try. Brought it to a reliable repair shop for a complete tuneup (wires, plugs, air filter, fuel filter). Everything was working fine until the other day when I came to a traffic light stop and the engine just died and was unable to start the car again. Engine cranks, but won't turn over until about 15 minutes of rest. Hope someone has a answer for me. This car has been good for the past 8 years. Problem like this can be frustrating. THERE IS NO CHECK ENGINE LIGHT COMING ON. Look forward to a response. JC Replies to this message: dreadhead1462 (May 12, 2009 10:49 am)
#26 of 47 02 Accent quit running by robert127 Jun 02, 2008 (8:33 am)

#27 of 47 Timing Belt by mncar Jun 07, 2008 (11:58 am)
I just purchased a 2004 Accent with only 13k on the odometer. The maintenance schedule states the timing best needs to be replaced at four years or 60k miles. After just purchasing the car, it seems ridicules that I would have to change a timing belt on a car which has only 13k miles.
