I own an 04 accent, 1.6l dohc. ONly have 140,000kms. Earlier today I got a p0708 code, but car drove fine. Went to go to the store later on and the car sometimes had reverse and sometimes not. Just wondering if anyone has any ideas? Thought about changing the range sensor itself. I see the wire...

Well aready know that the car would just move with little problem. But that's the problem. Guess all I can do is just replace the ebrake cable and see what happens.

As far as I see it you can't install anything wrong on the accent drum and shoe brakes. I have removed and drum and pulled the ebrake. The shoes move out and upon disengaging the ebrake the shoe return in. There are only 2 spring for the ebrake in my car. One spring on each ebrake cable. The...

Everything is installed correctly. Only one way everything goes on. The brakes work great. Just the ebrake. The ebrake can stop the wheel from spinning by hand on the rear right more then the left but can still spin both with a little force. If I adjust the ebrake any more the wheel won't turn...

I own an 04 accent 1.6l. My e-brake was working without issue. I had to change the back drum brake as they were low. Replace with drums, shoes, and spring set. Found I had a leaky wheel cylinder and ended up replacing both, as they are problematic on these cars. Put everything back together...

already replaced the coolant sensor. It is brand new. replaced 3 weeks ago.

can you tell if the CAT is clogged by using a vacuum gauge?

I do have some drivability problems. Like I said before, some times the car seems like I have no power and other times it has power. Seems like the engine is struggling and load and then fine. The CAT smelt like rotten eggs before and now doesn't. The coolant sensor has just been replaced a few...

not really, maybe a little different then usual. Cant be much if I'm not that sure. Sometimes have good throttle response. Takes off when you put your foot a little down. Other times you put your foot down the same and the engine sounds loader but don't really go anywhere fast. It's an...

But what would cause the exhaust to be rich right at starting the car when cold. Even with I new thermostat, it will still be cold from start. A leaking injector? Can a failing O2 not trip the CEL or code but still tell the car it need a lot of gas? Like I said, once the car is warm, the rich...

the fuel filter was done just over a year ago, spark plugs are brand new, the IAC was cleaning along with the throttle body, with seafoam, the thermostat is working as the car heats up as quick as always, the car takes gas no problem, pcv was cleaned, new air filter. how can you tell if the CAT...

Don't know if the CAT is clogged, A little back I was getting a rotten egg smell out of the exhaust for a different problem. Since that problem was fixed the smell has gone. Guess I can still faintly smell it though. If it started to smell and now the smell is gone, should I still replace the...

I own a 04 hyundai accent with 133,000 kms on it. I recently been burning through a lot of gas. Got no codes and no CEL. When I start the car in morning after sitting over nite, the exhaust smells really rich. Know some people say this is normal, but I don't think that getting 350km out of a 45L...

Could a partially clogged CAT be the problem. As I had mentioned before my CAT smelt like it was on it's way out. But after the ecm change the smell is no longer there. Does this mean that the CAT is ok? The car passed emission fine. Should it be replaced or the O2 sensor replaced? Please read...

Found the problem. They said they replaced the coolant sensor, and the main relay. Did not fix the problem. They said it was the ECM. They swapped it with one from a car in their lot and it fixed the problem. Apparently the ECM was still under warranty, up to 130,000 km. By the time they told me...
