    My 1.5 L manual Accent 2000 - the idle speed when stationary sometimes
    suddenly starts to surge by itsself. I tap the acelarater to try and
    clear it but this usullay results in the idle speed increasing further.
    I need to turn the engine off and restart which corrects the problem.


    I took it to a mechanic who did a quick check for me. He checked the
    codes which seemed OK and then he blew out some of the throttle
    mechanism in case there was some dirt - this seemed to do the trick but
    after two days the problem has reoccured.

    Any ideas or suggestions would be appreciated
    Thanks

    You should probably take it to a mechanic who is more skilled with Hyundais.
    A "quick scan" and a few magic incantations seldom really do much to fix
    problems with cars.

    I'd primarily suspect the throttle position sensor. If the feedback from
    the sensor is higher than normal at idle, that'll cause the engine RPM to
    increase.
