Hyundai Accent 2001 about 94,000 miles. When my car is idling it wants to die. I've changed the spark plug and wires and it helped but only for a few weeks now it is right back to where I started. My check engine light is not on however it has blinked at me a couple of times. No one I talk to knows what it is. Can you help

What other maintenence was done? Fuel filter? Air cleaner? Try some fuel injector cleaner in a tank or 2.

Good luck and post back. :)

Check whether the fuel filter and air cleaner have been serviced, and try fuel injector cleaner in one or two tanks of fuel.
