Hi,
We have a 2001 i30 with 169k miles, For last few months I had to press the accelerator to start the car so something was going wrong and now with cold weather is became worse few weeks ago and now car finally died and I am not able to start since yesterday. Lights and radio is working, when i click key and nothing happens and it don't even try to start the engine. What can be the possible issue?

Battery dead and/or wires rotten, cant supply the 500Amps for starter. Charge & warm battery and try.
Measure charge voltage - has to be over 14.2Volts or your alt is dying.
Coilpacks die by the mile, only new help getting a good spark...
I would suggest a linky whattodo - but Cardomain.com deliberately destroyed my site, a site up 10 years with 400.000 hits. None of its 25 pages are readable... Funny folks, eh.
