I figured this out today, so I thought I would post some pictures up. It is actually much much easier to do on our cars, than any other Ive worked on. No tools required.
Just make sure when you take the slack out of the cable that the throttle body is completely closed.
only problem i find is it idles waaaay to high. i wanted it to stay around 1k rpm but the nearest is almost 2k rpm. which makes the car sound redic lol.

I did this because the cruise control install added just a tiny bit of slack to my throttle cable. Its gone now. This is not a means to adjust your base idle.
Idle adjustment is normally done with some kind of screw on the IACV on the intake plenum. I havent looked into adjusting the throttle on these cars. I dont even know if you ever have to.
you can, there is a screw but its has some hard core loc tite on there so the thing doesnt move. its a torx and a small one which makes it that much worse. but yeah, with my spark plugs the car does 20X better when it idles at 1100 rpm
Hi
I drive a 2005 Santa Fe GLS. It looks like a have the same issue.
Based on the pictures provided, I tried to fix the problem, but I can't find the cable under the hood.
Any thoughts?
Thx
First question is, why do you want to increase your RPM at idle?
Secondly, to answer your question, to my knowledge, the idle RPM is controlled by the computer, there is a ‘fast idle’ when you start the car and the engine is cold, then once the engine coolant and 02 sensors warm up, the idle decreases to its regular RPM. I’m not sure how to increase the idle, but some posters above have referred to a screw on the IACV, but I’ve never done this myself.
My rpm is low and during driving facing some problem ...some strange noise is coming like loose timing chain....I have installed a new timing chain kit...but the sound sometime come even while driving and just after releasing the clutch.

I've been tracking the mileage on every tank of gas since I bought my Accent new in 2008. At over 215,000 miles, over 600 fills for over $17,000 I've got a very good idea about the mileage the car is capable of.
I average about 34-38 mpg in the summer, 30-34 mpg in the winter. The car is driven...
They started staying vertical a few years ago, blocking my view of traffic lights. I removed them & just deal with sun in my eyes. Now I'm tired of that. Anyone know of a fix for this? Maybe just new visors? Not sure which part wore out; the visor or where the visor snaps into.
Hi!
So, in the last two weeks I was hearing knocking noise coming from the engine's side. It appeared to be inconsistent, with sometimes the knocking disappearing. I took it to a mechanic that opened up the area and said that it's the tensioner of the timing chain (thought I only had a timing...

Just recently started having this problem. It's not related to going over bumps, so I doubt it's a loose connection. The radio will turn off randomly and immediately come back on. It's not that it's losing signal, it actually goes dark then comes right back on. Could it be a faulty fuse? I know...
