I have an 01 hyundai accent gl 4 door 1.6 dohc. timing belt broke at 106,000 miles and bent some valves. got an engine out of an 03 accent 1.6 same everything with 35,000 miles. pulled old and put in 03 engine. ran great for 100 mi. but had check engine light on. obd2 scanner said o2 sensors bad. we checked it out and it was bent. we also noticed a ground wire by the coil packs was not connected. hooked it up and cleared the computer and went on my way. made it a mile down the road and the engine light came on again only this time the car was running very rough so i went back and hooked up the scanner. this time the scanner said missfire on cylinders 1 and 2. after we scanned it we cleared the computer again, unhooked the ground, and started it and it ran fine again. i took the car around the block 5 times and no problems so i drove it 20 miles home with no problems. started the car 2 hours later and it was fine so i started down the road. made it a mile before it started to run rough again so i headed home. i talked to a mechanic and he said to change the plugs and wires from the old engine so i did and no change still missfire. he said try the coil packs and i did and still no change. i then changed the o2 sensor i had from the old engine and still missfire. so he came over. we decided to try the injectors changing the entire fuel rail and still ran rough. i then talked to a honda specialist that i know. took the car to him. he hooked it to his 10,000 dollar snap on computer and got the same thing, missfire on cylinders 1 and 2. as he ran his tests and wiggled the plug wires and messed with things it began to run smooth. he said i did nothing to it but its running well so he cleared the computer and i went on my way. i drove it about 8 miles and it went back to the missfire. limped it home 4 miles and by this time it was dark so i looked under the hood and saw a little bit of an arc at the coil. asked the honda specialist his opinion and he said plugs, wires, or computer. so i put new plugs and no change, wires and no change, and used computer and no change. he said last thing i can try is throttle position sensor. changed it and no change. called him and he said bring it back over so he can check the fuel pressure.he hooked it to his scanner and within 10 minutes it had gone back to running smooth again. he said he was baffled but checked the fuel pressure anyways. it was at 50 and it calls for 49.8 but by this time it was running smooth but as soon as you touch the gas the idle goes crazy idling up and down for a couple seconds and then levels out. so he said i guess drive it home and e will talk to someone who knows hyundais and get back to me.

The 2 components that I would suspect would be the Coil pack and the Cam sensor.
I had a similar issue on a Sorento. Intermittent miss on one of the cylinders. The Coil pack was bad. When I replaced it, there was a burnt smell to the bad one. It sounds like things were a bit bumped around with this engine as the O2 sensor was bent. The Coil packs are very fragile.
Hope this helps. God Bless

    i started this post originally. i have changed the coil packs, plugs, wires, fuel rail and injectors, throttle body, o2 sensor, fuel filter, tps, map sensor, checked compression and it is good, checked the plugs to the injectors and they are working well and checked for intake leaks with starting fluid and found o leaks....... codes are P0300, P0301, P0302, P0303, and P0326

G6BA or 2.7 D engine belongs to Hyundai Delta engine family
IS AN INTERFERENCE ENGINE, GEE ALL HYUNDAI ARE.
THE 60K MILE LIFE SPAN CAM DRIVE BELT IS BAD.
AND MOST TIMES THE HEAD VALVES ARE NO BENT OVER
24 VALVES AND LOTS TO BEND.
PUT THE CAR KEYS IN YOUR POCKET AND NOT BEND MORE
INSPECT THE CAM BELT. NOW. DO NOT MAKE IT WORSE.

I GUESS YOU HAVE A SHOP, AND DO NOT UNDERSTAND DOHC ENGINE, NOR WHAT INTERFERENCE MEANS.
YOU WILL SOON LEARN. THE HARD WAY AND IS SAD.(FACE)

THE FIRST ACT ON DOHC
IS INSPECT THE CAM DRIVE BELT AND TIMING
OR WORSE IT GETS.

Timing belt broke at about 55 miles per hour. do you think the valves are bent and what parts do I need to buy other than belt? Oh 2001 hyundai sonada with 2.6L motor. THANKS Jimmy

The 2.4l and 2.5l engines are interference engines, meaning it is highly likely that you bent your valves when your timing belt broke. Besides the timing belt, you may need a new belt tensioner and pulleys. I would replace the water pump too.

TIMING CHAIN CHANGE

hyundai recommends replacing the belt every 60,000 miles or 48 mos and this is an "interference" engine which means if the belt breaks, it will cause internal engine damage. happy holidays

2001 accent gl w/1.6 ohc bent valves

Second hand head from wreckers & new headgasket is probably cheapest way, or just pull yours off & replace bent valves & refit, shouldn't cost more than a few hundred if you can do it yourself. Would bbe worth the price of a new manual if you're unsure how to go about it.

Timing belt snapped

hi from uk the cambelt timing marks for accent 1.3/1.5 petrol are as follows= the cam cog has a hole drilling between the outer toothed and the central securing bolt this hole at TDC number 1 cyl is at top central and lines up with a V cut in the cyl head at rear of cog ? the crank cog at TDC number 1 cyl is a pop mark on both the cog and on thefront face of engine quite noticable ! these line up and are at approx 12 -30 pm when viewed fit new belt from crankcog in anticlockwise ie crank then cam then tensioner HOWEVER! if you are considering just replacing belt and tensioner ? be warned this engine is an interferance engine that is to say if belt fails whilst driving there may/will most probably be damage to the valves (bent) due to contact with pistons so would advise caution and suggest compression test all cyls after fitting new belt and tensioner and before rebuild completely once valves have bent they will not contact pistons again but you will have serious missfire/s and probably back fire up inlet manifold coupled with failing to start if engine is high milage ? consider removal of cyl head and check? de coke and replace damaged or best all valves then engine will have improved performance and more milesin future hope this helps

Timing belt snapped, on my 2002 hyundai accent 1.6 GL automatic tranny, is it a big problem or not? thanks in advance...

Most likely is a big problem as you may have bent the valves which means the head will have to come off to repair any damage

Timing belt broke on our 2001 Hyundai Accent 159,000 miles.

Your engine is an interference type engine, if u broke the cam belt the engines valves are bent. U can most lkely get a used manual on ebay or do a Goggle search for one, they are available.

Timing belt on my 2002 hyundai accent 1.6 liter 4cyl

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.
