I have 2000 Accent, and I diagnosed faulty MAF sensor. I tried cleaning it and it didn't help. I have MAF sensor from old 1999 Accent that works, but it has 4 pin connector instead of 5 pin, and it doesn't have integrated IAT sensor.
How can I connect this old 4 pin MAF sensor and seperate IAT sensor to my 5 pin connector?
Does anyone have wiring diagrams of these two different...

Hi there. Hope someone can help or give advice on this problem.

I bought an AUTOMATIC Hyunda Accent 1.4 LSi (S-Reg, 1998) back in February, and everything was hunky dory. Unfortunately, a few months after, the car started going into what I've been told is "Emergency Fault Mode", where the automatic gearbox goes into third gear - and stays there. This is happening at random...

I own a 98 accent with 160200 miles on it. flashers and turnsignal lights do not work all the time. wondering where flasher unit is located under dashboard. Thanks

Hey guys,

I joined here a year ago but it's my first post.

My 97 Accent starting having troubles ever since Midas put in a few quarts of the wrong fluid. Since then I had them flush it out. I also drained the pan and replaced the filter and 4 more quarts afterwards.

The shift problems seem to occur after several minutes of driving. The car will fall out of OD...

Hello everyone.

I have a 1999 Hyundai Accent with manual door locks and windows. My drive side window seems to keep coming off the track. I managed to slip it back on using a flathead screwdriver once so far. I am not having much luck the second time around.

Seeing as everything is manual I figured this might just be an easy weekend fix. Is this something a newb can fix or...

Hello mates. I'm from Italy. I have a problem using a hyundai accent cam hall sensor on my engine setup, and I can't find any wiring diagram of this Accent on the web! I realized if someone of you can help me as soon as possible and tell me which pin of the 3-pin plug that goes to the sensor is the 5V, the signal and ground. I hope to receive a little hand by you, guys! Thank...

I measured once and i get about 26. I was hoping for more, but I'm satisfied.

Hello everyone,
I have a 1998 Accent and this is weird. Sometimes--although it's starting to do it more often--when I first crank up to drive off, the headlights, A/C and, as I discovered Sunday on my way to church, Overdrive doesn't work. It doesn't do it all the time, just randomly. And like I said, I didn't know about OD not working until Sunday. I've hit the dash,...

Hello. I have a 1999 Hyundai Accent, Older model edition (apparently there were two model years). I was trying to go out the today when my car would not start. I put the key in, turned the ignition and it would make the normal sound it did when starting but would not get over the final hump and start (My terminology regarding this is difficult. I don't know the words). My check engine light...

hello all,

i'm getting this clicking noise in the back of my car. This only happens when i press on the brake. At first i thought it was the brake shoes in the back but when i pull the hand brake to slow it down or when i slightly press the brake, i don't hear the clicking noise. My guess is that the bearings are gone in the back but if any have ever encountered this problem...

Hi,

I did something really stupid at the weekend which I could kick myself for! Anyway here goes I turn around off a steep country road facing upwards, and try to set off and the car stalls (the car is actually accidentally in 3rd gear and I thought it was in 1st!). Rather than twig that I am in the wrong gear I pile on the revs and try to start again and of courese it stalls....

Thanks guys

Hi

I have a 97 accent 1.5 SOHC. My city mileage is approx 27 mpg US (which is within what it should be), however, I find that my highway mileage is about the same. What could be causing this. I changed the plugs, wires and oil.


Also, on a different issue. My fuel gauge works fine in town but on the highway it goes down as if there was no fuel in the tanks. If I...

at 65mph I get steering wobble, which dissappears at about 80mph to a feint rumble.

tracking? alignment?

I get a real 'flat spot' where little is gained between 2000 and 3700 revs, it revs but get no increase in oomph, below that it pulls well and above that it pulls good too

normal or can i improve this? I dont have a free flowing exhaust or intake or anything....

Only noticed the other day as we've not had any rain since I bought the Accent, but it leaks from the top two corners of the front windscreen.

Best way to fix this without an obvious bodge?


the trim around the windscreen keeps raising on the drivers side, I push it in and keep meaning to sort that too, but while im there a recommendation for sealing it would be good...

I'm going to put a new stereo in my '97 Excel.

It's cheaper for me to buy an accent radio harness off US eBay for $9USD with postage than buy one locally, I'm assuming since they are the same car it will be all good?

Well its time to say goodbye to our old friend. We have been together for eight years but know its time for her to go.
I can honestly say that she has been the most reliable car i have owned nothing to look at but just a great car. The car is know ten years old and apart from the odd bit of rust is spot on, its still running on its factory fitted exhaust ,rear brakes and nothing has been...

Rallying Hyundai's


I live in regional Victoria in Australia, I own two Hyundai Excels 97 twin cam 3 door and 99 twin cam 3 door. I have also been involved in the rally scene in Australia for a number of years. In 2005 a group of us got together to try and decide on a new affordable one make series based on a contempory popular car that young people could identify with and...

hi everyone.
Im not very knowledgeable on engine swaps except for a bit on the beta swaps.
I have a 1999 Hyundai Accent / Excel(australia) which is a 1.5L DOHC 4Cyl non Turbo.

My question is, considering the possibility and reality of the installation of a 2.0L V6, is it possibly to install a Honda F20C which is a 2.0L 4Cyl. im not sure on the dimensions, but would it...

Hi all,

Please excuse my noobery, as I'm fairly new to Hyundais, being mainly a Vauxhall nut!

My girlfriends mum has a 1998 Accent LSi (does anyone know what engine this one has? - thats been bugging me too!) which is getting harder and harder to start in cold or damp conditions.

It started about a month ago when the battery took to losing charge when...

Hi i own a 1995 acsent 1200cc, its spaninsh spec. i have recentley had running probs, the dashboard light comes on warning me of a fault, Check Engine is shown light up, then as soon as this light goes out the engine revs up then stalls, i cannot start the car for some time, then it runs fine again, however the fault is getting worse, as now the car runs badly all of the time, i have changed...

I have to apologize in advance because I realize this a stupid question, but I don't know how else to find the right info, but just ask.

On my 1996 Hyundai Excel (ie: Accent), my owner's manual says my original tyres/tires are 155 R 13. From what I can find out about tyre/tire sizes, this means they're 13" wheels? When I actually measure them (excl tyres/tires),...

I have a 97 Accent 1.3 & the washer motor has stopped working.

When we bought it a few months ago the washer motor wasnt working, it was jammed. Took about a minute to sort out.

After a while the motor would not work for the back window, only the windscreen (I presume thats a wiring problem). But last night it stopped working for the windscreen too. Has it jammed again or...

Hi gang,

I have a 1999 Hyundai accent that has a dent in the front quarter panel. I was planning on just getting rid of this car for a new one but due to circumstance I'm going to keep it for a year or two longer.

I'm going to have some fun with this car before I ditch it and first on my list is to fix the dent. I know nothing about body repair and very little about...

Hi all, great forum, glad I stumbled upon it! My 99 accent has issues with the drivers window. It's a manual crank jobber, and if I try to roll it up, the part of the window closest to the front "sticks." And it goes up all crooked. I then have to grab it and force it up by hand to get it to close. When I help it along it'll go up just fine. Tomorrow, I'm going to...

Lately, my '95 Accent is having some issues starting...

Luckily, it does start fine most of the time!

When it doesn't, it seems to be mid-day or afternoon on particularly nice days outside. Might this be a coincidence or related to the problem? Thought I'd mention it. Anyhow, it won't start, although it does turn and the battery doesn't seem to be...

I have a rather odd problem with my 1996 Excel. The problem has been with it ever since I bought it over a year ago. It will run absolutely fine when the tank is less than half full, but when I fill it, it just wants to die. I can't make it out of the petrol station without it stalling once, and until I use about 1/4 of the tank, it will stall, sputter, knock, ping, and has acceleration flat...

Hi all

I'm new to the forum. Just picked up a 99 accent gsi 1.5L so I'll probably be here a lot.. ;)

I was hoping someone could help me with a tranny prob.

When the car is idling there is a rattling sound in the transmission. If I push the clutch pedal all the way down it stops. The guy I bought it from swears its the release bearing and has been making...

hey i have 17" rims and tires on my car and they are to big for my car so if someone wants to trade 15 or 13" rims and tires that match the bolt pattern on my 1997 hyundai accent which is 4 and the size needs to be 4X4.5 then ya ill trade. the problems with the rims are that they have minor dents in the rims and the right front rims is crack even tho it is still way better than buying a...

Hey, I was wondering if anyone had ever installed a DRL (daytime running light) kit for their headlights on a 95 hyundai accent. I tried installing a kit that automatically turns on my headlights but I cannot get it to work without the use of a soleniod and some "jimmy rigging." Has anyone hardwired the headlights or has a kit they would recommend? I need to have DRL's to pass legal...

Having a few problems with my head lights. The other week I noticed that the dipped head light on my right (driver) hand side doesn't work.

Last weekend I changed the halogen bulb but there is no difference. I later discovered that the main head light on the same side doesn't work when the engine is off but works perfectly when engine is running. I'd never noticed this...
