Starting failure when cold SolvedSolved

Hyundai Accent 2006  139000 miles
Hello, everyone. When starting my Accent, I feel it heavy and notice that the temperature indicator takes a while to show the normal temperature. When starting it cold, I feel it even heavier and, if I stop accelerating, it stays as if there was no fuel. I've already changed the fuel and air filter and even the battery from the fuel pump which was damaged, but the failure persists. Even now, the battery makes a noise as if it were vibrating too much inside the tank. I've removed it and checked it and it is properly adjusted to the bottom of the pump, but it is still making a noise that can be… Read complete

You should first connect a pressure gauge and check the fuel pressure, which should be around 40 lbs. They should be maintained when closing the switch.

Does this mean that it might be the fuel pump that is failing, JOHANNES? It worries me, but at the same time, when the engine is already warm, the failure tends to get better.

P0326=Knock sensor 1 ,P0011=Cam shaft position sensor,P0420= catalytic converter and/or the O2 sensor. My guess is the cam sensor and knock seansor are preventing it from starting

2006 Hyundai Accent Acting Crazy

Hyundai Accent 2006 4 Cyl 1.6 Engine 190000 miles
I've had the car for about 3 months now. When I bought the car I could tell they're was a bit of a hesitation anytime you started to take off from being at a stop. The other big issue I've had is anytime I pump gas in the car rather it be Full tank, half tank, etc. it will hesitate when I crank it back to the point to where I have to press the gas down in order to stop it from cutting off. It will crank right back but as long as I drive off it continue to give it gas it will go away in a few minutes. The check engine light also turned off periodically but recently has stayed on and the the las… Read complete

No start problem.

Hyundai Accent 2001 Hatchback 146000 miles
I bought the car after it has been sitting for a year. Put a new ignition coil and battery and it started right up. Ran ok for a couple days. Now it won't start. I put new plugs and wires, cam shaft and crank shaft sensors, fuel filter and fuel pump. I don't hear the fuel pump engaging and I have check all fuses. I am at a loss, any ideas would be appreciated.

Vibrates at idle speed

Hyundai Accent 1999  190000 miles
My car vibrates way too much at idle speed. I've been having this problem for quite a long time now and, when scanning it, there is no error indicated. I've changed the injectors, fuel filter, spark plugs and its wiring, but the vibrations are still there. When I start driving it, the vibration luckily disappears.

Chck the connectors that lead to the coils. My car had one of those loose and that was the reason why it vibrated so much.

Check the bottom of the engine and the gearbox.

Check your idle air control (IAC) it maybe damaged or dead

In-tank fuel filter

Hyundai Accent 2014 Sedan 50000 miles
After I had my Hyundai Accent serviced, I noticed it was using nearly 4 times the fuel it should be. Centre told me they changed the in-tank fuel filter during the service. After returning the car they said it was a sensor and needed replacing. Still no change in excessive fuel usage.

Poor acceleration when cold.

Hyundai Accent 2002 Accent, manual  150000 miles
Hard to start when cold. Slight backfire. Poor acceleration when in low revs. All of this mostly goes once warm. If I fill tank up car has same problems until I have driven 90odd kilometres. Have changed alternator, o2 sensor, plugs, leads, fuel filter & pump, tank off & cleaned, charcoal box inspected, new battery, cleaned throttle.
