Description of the problem | Car seems to "hic-cup" - the engine seems to "shut off" and "turn on" again for a second or two while driving. As this happens, the "check engine" light stays lit for about 3 seconds. I have not contacted my dealer yet (it happened over the weekend), but i have sent an email to hyundai motor about the problem. I have also read in several postings on the internet about other 1998 accent owners having the same problem. |
