Were you having issues with idling and misfires for some time before you replaced the coil packs and plugs? If that was the case, you were sending unburnt fuel into the exhaust and catalytic convertors. I ask this becuase if the fuel did go into the exhaust youcould have clogged the catalytic convertor. By lack of power do you mean you can't go over 20-30 mph and the engine bogs down? After you drive it , look at the underside of the car, the catalytic convetor will be glowing red, please do not touch, or you will burn yourself!!!!! This is a sign of a clogged cat. Please take the car into a garage/local mechanic to diagnose and repair your issue.

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. 6 answers
