2000 accent hard to start

Hi

I would be grateful if someone could give me some idea about what the problem is with my 2000 accent.

For the past few months I have had a reoccurring problem with it not starting (turns over will not fire). This is intermittent, as I can go two weeks with out of problem, and then suddenly just will not start. I have also noticed around this time that it is rough idling, and also appears that the engine fan remains on a lot longer than normal. It also does not run that great when I put my foot down. (this is also intermittent but around the time I have trouble starting it)

I also have a check engine light on reading code P1128, could this be the cause?

I understand this relates to a faulty MAF, but I have also been informed that it could also be a faulty TPS sensor, an idle speed actuator or a faulty valve in the evap canister.

Anybody have any ideas before a spend £60 on a new MAF. I am a single dad, and a bit short of cash (no need for violins).

Thanks for reading

Jeff

hi jeff, try disconnecting MAF if runs ok after that its the MAF that could be faulty. good luck

Hi Thank you for taking time to reply, I shall give that a go. Many thanks jeff

I should say it could be a MAF issue.Try to check it then you can replace it with new Hyundai parts (http://www.speedyperformanceparts.com/hyundai-parts.html) MAF.goodluck my friend.
