Car Forum / Hyundai Cars / October 20062001 Tiburon spudders and lose of acceleration.
I was driving home today when I came to a stop light on a somewhat step slope. When I went to accelerate, there was a loud BANG and that was it. I drove about another 5 miles when the car started to spudder quite loudly and I lose a mass amount of acceleration. 2 seconds later the "Check Engine" light blinked the rest of the 15 miles home. I was scared to drive because of the spudder and the lack of acceleration. I continued home and when I stopped in the drive way the car idled but spuddered lightly. It was dark so I couldn't really check anything. Can someone please help!? 2001 Tiburon, 52,000 miles, Manual. > I was driving home today when I came to a stop light on a somewhat step > slope. When I went to accelerate, there was a loud BANG and that was it. So.... there was a loud BANG, something was obviously very wrong... >I > drove about another 5 miles ...and you drove another 5 miles????????? > when the car started to spudder quite loudly > and I lose a mass amount of acceleration. 2 seconds later the "Check > Engine" light blinked the rest of the 15 miles home. And then, as things get worse, you continue to drive another 15 miles??????? > I was scared to drive > because of the spudder and the lack of acceleration.

Yeah - do yourself a favor and get rid of your car. You shouldn't be driving a car. No idea what your problem is, based on this description, but you should do nothing more than take your car to a competent mechanic and let him repair it.

Hopefully it's a simple secondary ignition (plugs, wires, coil), but the loud bang suggests you may have a major engine failure.
