hyundai accent 1999
Trying to help someone troubbleshoot an electrical problem with a hyundai accent 1999 w/manual transmission. Problem is car running fine & smooth w/normal accl. and power and good performance on hills. Suddenly check-engine light starts flashing on dash and engine loses power runs rough w/slight backfire sound every minute or so. Check voltage across battery with engine idling and shows 8 - 9 volts range but alternator is brand new and has already been tested and is OK itself. Cheched fuses and they are all OK. So is it a computer gone screwy or a very well hidden electrical problem somewhere? Anyone who had this problem with this same model car and was able to find a solution please contact this email addy: bigj_d2002@yahoo.com (don't use netscape addy because it's expired) please type "hyundai 1999 problem" in subject header. thanks, j |

Disconnect the battery and see what it reads with no load. Take it to Auto Zone or Advance Auto or one of those places, and get the battery load tested. At that voltage, any number of problems could present themselves and you'll drive yourself nuts trying to track them. -- -Mike- mmarlowREMOVE@alltel.net |
Re: hyundai accent 1999
Check the voltage at the alternator terminal and at the battery. Check for
power at both wires in the alternator electrical connector with the key on (one supplies power to the alternator, the other is for the warning lamp). You may have a blown fuse somewhere. A flashing check engine lamp typically indicates a misfire, but if you have low system voltage as you're indicating, just about anything could happen. -- Message posted using http://www.talkaboutautos.com/group/alt.autos.hyundai/ More information at http://www.talkaboutautos.com/faq.html |
