1993 Hyundai Scoupe LS review from North America

"Great when things run as they should"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

Air flow sensor. Numerous spark plug wire sets (5).

General comments?

When I first bought the car it was great. Lots of pep, it kept up well at the light races in town. But after I washed the motor the car hesitated and had poor idle. I took it in to be serviced and I had to pay for a new fuel filter and new spark plugs. Seemed OK for about two days and the car was acting up again. I took it to another dealership because the previous one couldn't find the problem. The second shop said that it was a flow sensor in the intake, and also cleaned the intake manifold. Not any better. I seem to have found the problem myself after some trial and error. It seems that every time I change the spark plug wires it runs good until they burn up or foul some how. I've gone through 5 sets of cables, the last one lasted the longest - 8 months. Because I wrapped them with header insulating wrap to keep the heat off them. I talked with a shop recently which told me that it could be a faulty coil. I'll try that replacement as well as a new set of cables. I hope that this works. I enjoy my car and it is great when it isn't missing spark delivery.
