    My daughter has a 2001 Accent with almost 160k miles on it. For the
    last couple of months, the engine has had some major issues. It
    starts and idles ok, but when the clutch is engaged, it loses power
    and stalls. Once it warms up, it does a little better, but still
    hesitates. The local Hyundai dealer told her it was the ignition
    coil. She thought that sounded a little strange so she took it to
    NAPA, where they checked the coil and said it was fine. They also
    cleaned the injectors and replaced the fuel filter. The plugs have
    also been changed. Another thing, the check engine light is also
    illuminated. Any ideas? Hyundaitech??

    I'd say to start with checking the stored diagnostic trouble code. Chances
    are good that it's related to your problem.

    Why did you think the ignition coil was a strange resolution? An arcing
    coil will cause a misfire and a lack of power.

    1.5L.
