Hello all
I have a 2008 Accent - about 9 months ago I had to replace a coil pack. When I left the car place my check engine light came back on. I turned around and they said my Cat was "wet" and needed to dry out. (excessive fuel from the coil pack issue) they cleared the code. It came back. I stopped back in and he said I would need to address it at some point.
Fast forward to now
I was driving home and if felt like the car was shifting hard. I have an automatic so I figured maybe I was low on tranny fluid. I checked it, it was a little low but not excessive. I added a little bit. It was also not accelerating right.
The next day it was the same thing, then on the way home lost acceleration. It idles fine but when I step on gas it will rev up to about 2k and will drive slowly up to 15 / 20 miles an hour, seems to bog down, but seems to be breathing fine. Now, I want to point out I am NOT mechanical by any means. I know just enough to get myself in to trouble. I am however not afraid to try it just takes me longer.
I did some research and it was pointed out that it may be the TPS sensor. I changed out and no change.
I know it sounds like the Cat but I used a infrared thermometer to check before the Cats and behind them and both readings came out as the Cats are doing the job. Front was 400 + off front Cat and 600 + behind the front Cat. The rear had a reading of 200+ off the front of the rear Cat and 300+ behind it.
I know it's not that reliable but I don't have a tester at home and because of those numbers i am confused if maybe its a 02 sensor?
I had the tow truck driver stop at the auto parts place and had a tester put on it. Here are the codes that came back.
P0420
P2096
P2096
P0172
Misfire
Fuel
Comp
02 sensor
02 HTR
Any advice or help is greatly appreciated and please remember I am a novice
