I just got my oil changed and the fluids checked on my 2008 Hyundai Accent two days ago. Last night I had to park on top of a speed bump, but I didn't hear anything scrape the undercarriage. This morning when I went to start my car - it's cold outside - it had a hard time starting, sputtering a bit, and then the engine started making a thumpa thumpa thumpa noise. It drives, but it's starting a bit with the thumpa noise. The engine light is also on. Any thoughts on what this could be?

It was doing it in both park AND while moving. But! I came inside for about a half hour to make some calls about the car, and when I went outside and turned it on again, it started fine and there was no thumpa thumpa. The warning light is still on, though.

How to put this delicate open hood see if any fur is there cats love a warm engine. If so may have knocked sensor wire off.
