2001 hyundai accent stalls or just turns off when slowing down.

I'd like to do the tune-up myself if at all possible. I've already done the fuel filter (and can do the air filter, sparks and cables.) What I don't know is where to locate the PCV valve and oxygen sensor and is there anything else that needs to be changed with the tune up.

Why does my 2001 Hyundai accent stall? Auto Zone ran a check and these are the numbers they came up with P0108,P0300,P1123,P0304,P0303, P0302, P0301 They say AIC does not come up as bad. What do I do?

that autozone sales person should have asked when is the last time it had a tune up... ie, spark plugs etc...

reset the ecu/ecm and clear the codes... see if the same codes come back to verify

look for vacuum leaks first if you already done a tune up by changing those worn spark plugs, etc

My 2001 Hyundai Accent 1.5 L, stalls out at stop signs and red lights. No codes are present, and check engine light does not come on, any ideas? Fuel pump?

See if your idle air control valve needs to be cleaned out. This is a common problem in cars that stall out a lot.

2002 accent stalls and has a rough idle

During rough idling, when the clutch is released due to high rpm of the engine, the engine may stalls. Another possible reason due to quick release of clutch pedals.

First tune the idling of the engine. Look for the cleaness of the air filter, Fuel lines are clear for free flow. Check the spark plugs for free from carbons and gaps are maintained correctly.

When slowing down the car change to appropriate gears and netural the gears when about to stop.

2001 Accent wont start, when it does it will idle but not drive

sounds stupid but the last time something like this happened it was a loose ht lead....but im sure you checked that already.
idle should be 850/900
liquid is only condensate in rear box
have you looked for an air leak in the pipe from the inlet to the brake servo?

Hyundai Accent intermittent jerking

Revs.
As for the issue of the idle revs, that's perfectly normal. When it's cold outside, every car is supposed to have a higher rev in order to warm up the engine quickly. In more advanced cars, the computer wont even allow the engine to shift into overdrive when it's cold outside in order to avoid extreme engine stress and damage. When it's warm outside, the engine doesn't need to idle high because the engine is already at a good operating temperature. Not much will be needed to get it to the right temperature.
Intermittent Jerking

There is a long list of things that could cause intermittent jerking. I'm going to name all of them for you, but your best best would be to go to a mechanic and have them do an inspection.
Clogged PCV Valve (Possibly if you don't get your oil changes on time, sign of a tune up)
Bad DIstributor Cap (not likely at 140,000 miles)
Clogged fuel filter (Very likely, usually done with tune up)
Bad Fuel Pump (Not so likely)
Defective ECM (also not likely)
Vacuum hoses/leak (not likely but possible)
MAS (Mass Airflow Sensor--not likely but possible)
Fuel INjectors (if so, sign of a needed tune up)
Faulty Spark Plug Wires (not likely if tune up is recent)
Faulty O2 Sensors (possibly)

Clogged Catalytic Converter (Possible)

2001 Hyundai Accent dies while driving

Slow acceleration

Yes, all these newer cars have them, plus a dozen other sensors.
Try having the throttle position sensor checked, and have a fuel pressure test done.Has it had a tune up lately, plugs wires, and fuel filter changed? Without doing a lot of testing to pin point the problem, you will be replacing things you don't need. (expensive).
A tune up would be a start, then have those other things checked.
good luck.
