I have a 2010 hyundai accent gls. My check engine light came on, I had it read and they said cyl 3 was misfiring. So, I changed out all of the plugs since I was already in there. The car is still running rough, the check engine light is still on. So, I took it back to see if it was a coil since I swapped them around to see if cyl 3 would still be the cause. Well, now they say I have all 4 cyl misfiring and a random. What is going on?! Any ideas?? Please help
I had a similar problem. It turned out that one of the spark plug wires was routed wrong, The maybe one of the problems

SOURCE: 2000 Hyundai Accent will suddenly stall and wont restart
Have someone check the idle sensor. I had to have mine replaced along with another that I don't remember which one is was.

DID THE BELT BREAK AND THEN IT WAS CHANGED. If so then you may have bent valve. IF NOT then vehicle may be timed wrong. Here is a diagram of your timing marks, http://www.2carpros.com/car_repair_information/tec_info/2002/hyundai/accent/2002_hyundai_accent_timing_belt_diagram_marks.htm contact if you need more help. Thanks for using FIX YA

SOURCE: stalling and hesitation, all 4 cylinders misfiring, once warmed car seems to run ok
There are various questions to ask in order to help you.
When does it stall?
If it stalls when the AC of the car turns on, then this handy diagnostic article will help solve your problem:
http://yourhandymanzone.com/Your_Handyman_Zone_How_To_Pages_Vehicle_Car_Zone_Cars_Trucks_Vans_Engine_System_Engine_Stalls_When_AC_Turned_On.htm
Likely applicable to your situation--since you say the car runs fine when it is "warmed up"--when the car stalls because the engine is NOT warmed up and is otherwise cold, this handy diagnostic article will help solve your problem:
http://yourhandymanzone.com/Your_Handyman_Zone_How_To_Pages_Vehicle_Car_Zone_Cars_Trucks_Vans_Engine_System_Engine_Stalls_When_Cold.htm
And as to backfiring when you initially run your car, this handy article really helps in identifying the common causes of such a problem:

This should help.
Good luck!

SOURCE: 2000 hyundai accent code 302 misfire and slow responce o2 senser
Yep!.. Typical with an engine cylinder misfire. Inspect the plug and ignition wire, especially the insulator. If you see a 'christmas tree' pattern on the insulator, that's where your problem is.

A P0300 diagnostic code indicates a random or multiple misfire. If the last digit
is a number other than zero, it corresponds to the cylinder number that is misfiring.
A P0302 code, for example, would tell you cylinder number two is misfiring.
Unfortunately, a P0300 doesn't tell you specifically which cylinder(s) is/are
mis-firing, nor why.
For example, a P0302 code means that the the car's computer has detected
that one of the engine's cylinders is not firing properly. In this case it's
cylinder
#2; same condition in P0301 - cyl #1, P0303 - cyl #3 and P0304 - cyl #4.
A code P0300 (or 301, 302, 303 or 304) may mean that one or more of the following has happened:
Faulty spark plugs or wires
Faulty coil (pack)
Faulty oxygen sensor(s)
Faulty fuel injector(s)
Burned exhaust valve
Faulty catalytic converter(s)
Stuck/blocked EGR valve / passages
Faulty camshaft position sensor
Defective computer
About your possible solutions, if there are no symptoms, the simplest thing to do is to reset the code and see if it comes back.
If there are symptoms such as the engine is stumbling or hesitating, check all wiring and connectors that lead to the cylinders (i.e. spark plugs). Depending on how long the ignition components have been in the car, it may be a good idea to replace them as part of your regular maintenance schedule. I would suggest spark plugs, spark plug wires, distributor cap, and rotor (if applicable). Otherwise, check the coils (a.k.a. coil packs). In some cases, the catalytic converter has gone bad. If you smell rotten eggs in the exhaust, your cat converter needs to be replaced. I've also heard in other cases the problems were faulty fuel injectors.
Random misfires that jump around from one cylinder to another (read: P030x codes) also will set a P0300 code. The underlying cause is often a lean fuel condition, which may be due to a vacuum leak in the intake manifold or unmetered air getting past the airflow sensor, or an EGR valve that is stuck open.
So, your code P0170 is one that surfaces with certain makes of automobiles more
than others. In writing this article I've added Mercedes-Benz-specific
info since it seems that M-B (and VW) are most prone to having this
P0170 surface along with misfire codes or other fuel trim codes. P0170
means there was a malfunction in the computer's control of the air:fuel
ratio.
It also indicates that the fuel trims reached their limit of adding
fuel while trying to compensate for a actual or perceived rich
condition. When the fuel trims reach their rich correction limit, the
PCM (Powertrain Control Module) sets a P0170, indicating a problem or
malfunction in the fuel trims. It may also have a P0173 referring to the same malfunction but on bank two.
Potential causes include a vacuum leak, unmetered air leaks Fuel
saturated engine oil Leak in turbo air charge hoses (if equipped)
Possibly bad O2 sensor (If Mercedes, may require adaptation with M-Benz
compatible scan tool.) Oil contamination in MAF connector or O2 sensor
connectors. Also check ignition coils, cam and crank sensors, and oil
sensor for leakage contributing to oil intrusion in wiring harness.
Defective MAF (Mass Air Flow) sensor (especially on Mercedez-Benz and
other European autos. There are a lot of problems with aftermarket MAF
sensors).
If you have this code and access to a scan tool, observe the MAF sensor
reading in grams/sec. The reading will be different for different
automobiles, so get a good spec. I'm going to stick with what would be
normal for a Mercedes (1.8L), since they have the bulk of the trouble.
Expect to see at idle 3.5-5 g/s (ideally). At 2500 RPMs with no load it
should be between 9 and 12 g/s. On road test, at WOT (wide open
throttle) it should be 90 g/s or well above. If it's not in specs,
replace it. Be careful of Ebay MAFs. Often they don't work according to
OE specifications. If the MAF checks out and there is no oil intrusion
at the connector, check fuel pressure and ensure that there are no leaks
at the regulator internally or externally. Check all vacuum hoses and
confirm none are cracked, disconnected or missing. Make sure there are
no vacuum leaks at the intake manifold gaskets or tears in the air
supply hose. If the engine is turbo charged, be sure the hoses are in
good condition and have no leaks. Leaking turbo pressure hoses could
cause a rich condition. Inspect the condition of crankcase vent hose
under intake manifold and operation of check valve in the hose. (In the
"What are the causes?" section) If there doesn't appear to be any
problems with the fuel pressure, MAF or vacuum hoses, then inspect the
O2 sensor connectors for oil intrusion. A bad O2 sensor could cause a
P0170, or P0173. Repair cause of oil leak and replace oil-fouled O2 sensor.
This is location diagram...
Bank 1 is always the side of the engine with cylinder #1.
Bank 2 is always the side of the engine with cylinder #2.
Bank 1 is the bank of cylinders on the firewall side.
Bank 2 is the bank of cylinders on the radiator side.
Sensor 1 is the O2 sensor before the cat.
Sensor 2 is the O2 sensor after the cat.
So the one you want is the sensor AFTER the cat on the FIREWALL side of the engine.
Hope this helps.
