Hyundai Excel Engine problems by year

1994 Hyundai excel. Consumer writes in regards to misinformation concerning vehicle brakes and tire tread depth. *Tgw the consumer stated one of the tires had a leak, the spark plugs, drive belts and wheel bearing needed to be replaced. The vehicle would not start on several occasions, until finally the battery was replaced. Within a couple of months, the consumer began hearing a grinding sound upon stopping.

Hyundai parts dept will not repair fire damage under hood caused by the defective recalled part "reed valve." They will only replace the part that caused the damage. This is a car that never made sense. Please help. Repair bills will be very costly and hyundai motor corp. Doesn't want to admit their mistakes. They even said the 1999 cars are totally different from the '86-'87 years. Thank you for your time. Recall 91v225. *Ak

NO SUMMARY LISTED FOR THIS VEHICLE. *AK

While proceeding up a slight incline during the commuting hour, the car lost all power and I came close to being hit in the rear. After about 30 seconds I regained some power and was able to proceed. The car was idling rough and I had to keep my foot on the accelerator at all times to keep it running. I had it turned up and it ran better but still a lack of power. I had to have it inspected and it failed inspection because the pollution was at 1200. I then had it tuned up again (fully) and it failed again. I had it checked out at a station and found out that cylinder 3 did not have any pressure at all. I also found out that to get it fixed it would cost around $1,000. It still is not fixed.
