You generally would smell a fuel leak. The Accent is a fuel injected vehicle, if the system were leaking, it would be at over 20-40 PSI even at idle, and a fire would be possible and you would know it.
You need to make sure your mileage is low by figuring your MPG (miles per gallon) on a regular basis. Fill up at a station on level ground, reset your trip odometer to keep track of your mileage, drive out that tankfull and go back to that same pump and fill up the same way. Stop at the first click and then do the math. The number of miles since filling up, divided by the number of gallons it took to refill it, give you an average Miles per gallon for your car.
If you compare your figure to the normal specs for your car, you'll know if you need a tune up, new tires, or just to change the old driving habits.
You can use any station with a level filling area, it's just much easier to be more accurate when you use the same station repeatedly with the same pump & setting the handle at the same speed to fill.
If it is the horn that keeps going off, pull the horn fuse, that should stop it till you figure the problem. The bcm can ground the control side of horn relay as well as the horn switch. I'm not saying the bcm is faulty, I don't know, at the moment.
Lock all doors and open with key in passenger side door.Then start it..That should reset the security system>>>Hope this helps you and have a great day...
mcdevito75 here, It"s possible the alrm system and the back fireing are associated, specially if the alarm (security system) is factory (built with the car) BEST BET have an auto alarm shop take a look, most auto shops that do glass, windshield, doors etc. also handle alarms.
I have a 95 Grand Cherokee, its got this built-in 'kill switch' (lol) that i had to figure out - the alarm wouldn't stop going off until i put the key in the driver door, then turned it Right-Left-Right...
Your probably already aware of this nuisance, but i thought i'd post it it just in case.
try locking the car and then unlocking the driver door with your key, then try to start, I have had many systems that have a lockout on them and by locking and unlocking with key resets the alarm, If not I can direct you to the factory service manuals, and they will walk you through figuring your problem. Hope this helps you!
