All the 1.5's I've seen, which isn't many, were sohc. Have you checked the spark plugs? If they look ok, I'd suggest doing a compression test. |
Re: please help
Spark plugs & wires, engine coolant temp sensor(s), O2 sensor(s), air
filter, gummed/clogged fuel injectors need cleaning. Don't go ahead and start replacing things left and right. Because that can get very expensive, esp. if certain parts were still good. Do you know a mechanic that woul give you a type of *pro-bono*? |
Re: please help
Is the check engine light on? Is the car throwing any codes?

Re: please help
Actually, there was a 1.5 DOHC available in 1996 and 1997. It was called
the Accent GT in the U.S. |
Re: please help
Do you have an exhaust leak? If I recall correctly, the flex pipes were
prone to leakage or breaking, and were in front of the oxygen sensor, causing much hesitation. |
