Accent LC (2000-05) :: Car Will Turn Over But Not Get A Spark


Jun 24, 2014

I'm completely lost. My car won't start. It will turn over but not get a spark. I replaced the plugs and the camshaft position sensor and still having issues. I didn't change the wires when I did the plugs. Would that cause the problem to persist?

Accent LC (2000-05) :: Cranking But No Gas / Spark / Turn Over

2005 Accent has been essentially bug free until now.

Drove 3 hours, parked for 4 hours, then when to turn it on... cranked, no turn over. Tried again and the crank died. I figured, ok, no problem, battery getting long in the tooth, time for a new one.

A friend and I were able to push start it (5 speed manual), and yesterday I bought a new battery for it. No worries right?

Wrong. Same thing now. Cranking but no gas/spark/turn over. No check engine light or codes.

My next place I'm guessing I need to check is the fuel pump relay? Should I hear a click a few seconds after I turn the key to on? I believe I should, not sure if my memory is playing tricks on me, but right now there is none.

Relay in the fuse box? Do I need to check anything else first? Have multimeter.

Accent LC (2000-05) :: 2003 - Cranks, Has Spark But Won't Start

My wife's 03 accent cranks over good, but won't start. It does fire some but won't start. I tried squirting starter fluid in the intake and that only made it fire less. Spark is strong on all four cylinders. At first I thought I found the problem because it had weak spark on the middle two cylinders and i replaced that coil pack and now all four are strong, but still same problem.

She drove it home and parked overnight, and in the morning it wouldn't start. I don't think it is the timing belt. I replaced it not too long ago, and I took a peak behind the top of the cover and all still appears to be as it should.

I am now at a bit of a loss. I mean it has good spark, won't start with starting fluid, so what could it be?

Accent LC (2000-05) :: Clicking Noise And Spark On Belts Area

I have an 05 accent and about 6 months ago I started to notice a clicking sound coming from the belts area ( it sounds exactly like a BBQ grill igniter when it's pressed), the sound starts as soon as I start the car and stays pretty much the whole time, I had the car lifted by my mechanic and he discovered the problem in one of the belts ( not sure what is called but it's the one at the very bottom of the belts, the first one you see when you lift the car ), the spark is seen at the edge of the pulley or where the belt sits on the pulley. The mechanic was puzzled about this, he recommended replacing the crank sensor as a first step, the car runs fine and there is no other symptoms or issues

Accent LC (2000-05) :: Fuel Light Flashing / Misfiring And No Spark

I own a 2000 accent. Broke down, called racq, they said it was electrical problem with fuel pump and my car would kick over after someone cranks it and another person bangs the underside of the fuel tank a few times(exterior). then broke down again and car wouldn't start at all, had no spark would only crank not kick over, I took it to a mechanic and he found out it was the fuel relay switch so he replaced that and the car was running again, however it was only running on 3 cylinders and the fuel light would flash/turn on for seconds/ flick on and off even with a full tank.

Took it back to the mechanic and he said the fuel lines were blocked and needed new fuel filter so after he fitted all that was still running terrible, would misfire, fuel light still flashed and driving it around drank the fuel. Found out that it was the first cylinder that was the problem. I changed the sparkplugs and no difference

So I went to a car wreckers and replaced the 1st fuel injector (got it for 5 dollars off an accent that was wrote off from the back end) once i fitted the injector it started to run better. It is now running at about 75%. doesnt go as hard as it use to, still misfires, still drinking the fuel and the fuel light is always off and on when I am driving. It has low revs in idle mode so it rattles/shakes heavily as well and smell of fuel in the back seats every now and then.

oh and a side note - drove it a few nights ago and the clutch pedal is 'loose'... as in the grab is near enough clutch in 7/8ths of the way(near the floor) and when the clutch is fully out there is alot of 'play' which is when you press the clutch in a quarter of the way its nothing, no tension or anything just floppy, but im not 100% sure if the clutch cable needs tightening or something worse( i only replaced clutch about 2 months ago so it couldn't be burnt out?)

Accent LC (2000-05) :: Code P0335 / Replaced Crank Sensor / Still No Spark

Like the title says...'02 Accent,1.6 dohc.Won't start.No spark.

Pulled code p0335-crank sensor circuit A.

Replaced sensor...still nothing.

Is there something else that commonly goes with these symptoms?...or did I just get a bum sensor?

Also,once I try starting or turn key on,I hear a buzzing coming from throttle body area for about 10 seconds even after key is off. Not sure if its related or normal.

Accent LC (2000-05) :: Suddenly Died When Making U-Turn / Vacuum Noise When Turn The Key

I have a 2001 accent 5-spd. I was on my way to work and I was making a u-turn when the car suddenly died. I tried to start it back up but it didn't even sound like it was turning over. I tried to bump start it or do a rolling start and nothing. I had to go to work. When I returned to it 8 hours later I again tried to start it and nothing. When I turn the key it makes a "whirring" or "humming" noise, kind of like a vacuum noise. When I had someone else try to turn it, I noticed the belt was turning, but the engine wouldn't crank or make any attempt to turn over. Just the belt was spinning and no engine crank. What could this be?? Could it be the crank position sensor?

Accent LC (2000-05) :: Frozen Ignition / Car Won't Turn On

So this morning, it was -5 degrees outside. I put the key in the ignition, but I could not turn it forward at all, it was like it was frozen. So I took a lighter, heated up my key, and put it in the ignition, let it set for a few seconds, and I was able to turn it over. I have had to this every winter so far, but it only happens when it is really cold out. The only thing I can think of is moisture in the ignition.

Accent LC (2000-05) :: Turn Over And Run For About Ten Seconds Then Will Sputter Out And Die

My accent 2000 is having problems. It will turn over and run for about ten seconds then will sputter out and die. I replaced the fuel filter and checked the fuel pump, all that is working well. (by the way, crazy you have to rip out the back seat to get to both the filter and pump) The battery is brand new, the alternator has been tested, i also just took the plugs out and cleaned them and re-gapped them. checked the wires to make sure they are sparking (plugs and wires are less then a yr old) I am not sure where to go from there.......

Accent LC (2000-05) :: GLS Key Won't Turn - Steering Wheel Is Loose

Girlfriend went to start her car on a nice cold day, and said it wouldn't turn over. so after taking her to work, i tried to see what the issue was . . . and the key wont move. the steering wheel is loose, i used the transmission override to move the stick back and forth a few times. still no go.

Did the hammer tap on the key, and used electronics cleaner on the switch in case something was stuck.

Oddity was, the door ajar chimes come on without the key inserted. So am I chasing electrical gremlins or what? the car is a base model without keyless entry.

Accent LC (2000-05) :: Engine Would Turn Over But Wouldn't Start

o my wife was driving our 2005 Accent GLS with about 95k miles yesterday, and it had an issue that it's had three or four times before: the engine would turn over but wouldn't start while it was still warm. In the past when it happened, whoever was driving would wait a few minutes and try again. It always started on the third or fourth try after waiting five to twenty minutes.

Yesterday, however, she was frustrated and so called AAA to have them send a battery truck over and have them take a look at it. The truck came relatively quickly, and they started their diagnostic procedures. The battery was fine (knew that), and he tried all the standard things like cleaning the terminals/harnesses and whacking the starter with a hammer. My wife said that as she and the tech tried to start the car, the turn-over seemed to get shorter and shorter- so when she first tried it would turn for a few seconds, and after a dozen or so attempts it was only turning for a second or less.

Finally, the tech (who apparently seemed to be frustrated at this point) got behind the wheel while my wife was looking under the opened hood and turned the ignition on and held it. The positive battery terminal apparently started smoking and my wife had to yell at him to get him to stop.

After this point, the engine no longer turned over at all. He tried a few more things like cleaning the cables, but no change. He finally said that he would call for a tow truck, and we ended up getting it towed back to our house.

The problem is unchanged since yesterday: there is full power when in ACC mode, but when you turn the ignition all the way to the on position there is nothing but a single loud "click" and a high-pitched whining noise.

I left my ODB bluetooth interface at my office, so I haven't been able to see if there are any codes.

Accent LC (2000-05) :: Cranking When Turn The Key / Hesitates To Start

I go out to start the car, it cranks and cranks and cranks. I stop turning the key. I then try again and it hesitates to starts. I give it a little gas and it starts. When it does this, the car begins running very rough and idling rough. When I give it a little gas while it's parked, the check engine light begins flashing at me.

I turned the car off and came back to it the next morning (maybe 10 hours apart). It started right up no problem, no CEL either.

Plugs/Wires were done a few months back.

Accent LC (2000-05) :: Turn Over Then Buck And Stall Right Out In Really Cold Temperatures

I have a 2002 hyundai accent gl, 1.6l dohc engine. The issue is in the cold weather, the car will turn over, and then buck and stall right out. After a while, she will finally catch and idle really rough, until the car warms up, and the temp gauge goes to halfway, and then it all goes away, and the car runs perfectly fine. Its only in the winter it does it, and when the car is really cold.

I just put a new battery in today, the alternator is newer, fuel pump is newer, new plugs and wires. I am leaning towards the coolant temp sensor gone faulty. I was wondering, where it is located to on the engine so I can change it out.

Accent LC (2000-05) :: Climate Control Lights And Radio Won't Turn On

So I installed a new radio in my car today and connected everything besides the dimming and illuminating wires since my new head unit didn't have one. I connected everything that i needed to like ground power and power from the ignition switch. Radio doesn't turn on at all.

After installing this new radio the climate control doesn't light up anymore. Checked all the fuses under the dash on the driver side and under the hood. All of them are good. Is there any other reason the head unit and the climate control lights wouldn't work.

The clock, a/c and the thing defroster lights work. same with the ash tray light. seems to me that the only light that isn't working is the climate control light and the radio doesn't power on at all.

Accent LC (2000-05) :: 2001 - Hard To Turn Wheel In Both Directions

I have a 2001 Accent with 108,000 miles, 60000 less on the engine. It has become very difficult to turn the wheel, especially when still. It eases up some when the car is moving. The fluid was a little low so added some but still hard to turn when full. Is the pump gone or is it something else?
