Most likely the thermostat broke. I expect that you have an older Hyundai and never had the anti-freeze changed. When the engine is cold the thermostat is closed which causes the engine to warm up more quickly. A warm engine runs more efficiently (less gas) and more smoothly. When the engine temp reaches a certain temp the thermostat opens and then allows the hot engine coolant to run through the lines to the heater core. The heater blows air over the heater core which produces the warm air that warms up the cabin. Thermostats used to be cheap and easy to change. I would suggest a web search for how to replace the thermostat. Something like 'hyundai accent 2002 replace thermostat".

replace them.

I have a hyundai accent 96 model 1.5 i drove with it on the highway and suddenly it was loosing power and then picks up again can this be fuel starvation or is there something else

You will get the code when you spend something,

Check what thickness your oil is that your using. My Sonata was blowing blue smoke during winter & it was because i was using the 50W thick oil so i changed it to a 30W which is a thinner oil & the smoke stopped. But use the thicker 50W during summer. If this doesn't help, you might have a burnt valve(s) or your rings have gone! Goodluck anyway. :)
