2000 Accent Problems
 

Hey Guys,

For the past year or so, when I go out to start my car after it has
been sitting overnight or for 8+ hours, it will start, but immediatley
after, the engine starts rumbling and misfiring ALOT (I'm talking like
the whole front end is shaking), and usually the car will die after
5-6 seconds of this. The second time starting it, it is fine. It does
this every morning religiously in hot or cold weather. I had it taken
in to a friend of mine's shop, but he couldn't fix the problem. Any
ideas? Also in the morning, when I am backing up and turning the
wheel, I hear a very loud squeaking noise from a belt, and when I put
it in drive to go forward, it is VERY LOUD for a few seconds until the
wheel has straightened and I have driven forward for 5-6 seconds.
When my car is in park and the engine is on, and I turn my wheel all
the way to the right or the left, I also hear a very loud squeaking
from a belt Now, sometimes sitting at a red light, I can hear a slight
squeak every 4-5 seconds. Any help would be appreciated!

Someone knowledgeable and competent will need to investigate the misfire.
It could be caused by ignition, fuel delivery, or mechanical problems.
Most misfire issues are caused by ignition problems, but the fact that you
don't mention any misfires after the car warms a little leads me to believe
that there may be some other problem here.

Your squealing is most likely due to a loose alternator/water pump belt.
