2007 Hyundai Accent 5 speed manual - tachometer jumps up and down upon start up, and the engine misses. This eventually smooths out after a mile or two. What causes it?

Asked by DebePolich Jan 22, 2016 at 10:37 AM about the 2007 Hyundai Accent GS 2-Door Hatchback FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

When I start my car, the tachometer will jump up and down and the car
misses. It continues doing this at stops for a mile or two. Then the car seems
to run smoothly. What is causing this?

When was the last time you did a tuneup?

What is involved in a tune-up? I have had both oxygen sensors changed and new spark plugs

F_O_R answered 8 years ago

Spark plugs are the main thing these days. An air filter and fuel filter are also a good idea. Is the check engine light on?

F_O_R answered 8 years ago

I would also use a good fuel system cleaner in your next tank of gas.

The check engine light is not on. I used a fuel system cleaner in the last tank of gas. The air filter was changed about 2 months ago. I guess I will try a fuel filter next. Thanks for your help!

I have a 2002 Hyundai Accent 1.6L. I just changed the rear drums, shoes, and all of the springs. When I move the car, I can hear a noise that sounds like a spring popping. Also, my parking brake lifts up a lot more than before, but it still works. I put all of the springs on correctly, the shoes are on the right side, and the adjuster is on correctly. I did have trouble putting on the drum and had to adjust it quite a bit. I checked the rotation of the wheel and it lagged nicely. I’m not sure what this spring noise could be or if it’s normal for new springs. If you have any ideas about what the noise could be, it would be helpful. 7 Answers
