I own a 1997 Elantra and I am thinking about changing the timing belt. Is this a difficult process? Does the car need to be elevated or can it be done standing over the engine? What are the major steps involved?

Thank you

Hi!

I recently installed a rear O2 sensor as it was turning the check engine light on. Pulled a code on it and replaced it.

The light went out for about a week, then the light came back on. I pulled the code and now I am getting a "P0455 EVAP Emission Control System Leak (Large).

What do i look for at this point? Someone told me to make sure the gas cap...

I just got a 2000 elantra gls and there was no radio in it and the stock wiring harness was cut off so im stuck with just wires and i want to hook up my pioneer deck in it but would like some kind of diagram for the wiring every other place ive checked the diagrams didnt match what colors i have for wires so if someone could help me out with this that would be great.

Hi I have a 1999 eleantra and it starts up fine and runs fine but when the engine gets to normal temperature the engine dies I looked all over the fourms and no luck i even googled it and still no luck please is there anyone that is able to figure this out??

Its quite simple, my 96 Elantra starts up perfectly every time in the winter, yet in the summer my car starts fine in the morning but randomly does not start after the initial start. After it does this I ether keep trying to start it until I get lucky and it all the sudden fires up or I crank it until the battery runs out on me were I then break down crying, cursing and shouting at God and his...

So I have a 96 elantra and the clutch and transmission were just replaced. Now the clutch pedal will not depress at all and the car wouldn't start after this was done. Anyone have any idea what could be causing these two problems???

I was thinking of getting a new steergin wheel for my elantra 2000 , i was thinking of getting one out of a 2008 elantra or the new i30 , so it would be multifunction steering wheel , im gonna get the same stereo system installed in the car to work with the button on the wheel , will this work???!!!!!

I got a little problem with Elantra (RD) 1999 2.0L
My check engine light came on and I started wondering what it was that was going on.
I took it in to the local garage and was charged $35. To let me know that I don’t know how to put a gas cap back on properly.
That just got me so upset, seeing that back in the 70’S I worked as an apprentice mechanic and today because of...

Last weekend after parking the car on my driveway, next day it wouldn't start. It would crank very strong but no start. Car has 172k miles on it. Anyway, I initially thought it was the fuel pump. I would swear that each time I would start the car, before it cranked over, I would hear a faint buzz-like sound of the fuel pump pressurizing. Because I no longer heard this I assumed fuel pump...

Hi there.... anyone know which other make of cars wheels will fit my 1999 Lantra Si (UK)......?

Hello,

Used 1999 Hyundai Elantra GLS wagon

Recently my speedometer, odometer, and cruise control stopped working at the same time. I bought the car in August 2006, and they have worked until just recently (June 2008).

I understand that the odometer relies on the speedometer cable, however I don't know why the cruise control died too at the exact same time.

I've just got a 1997 Lantra and the fan heater does not blow. Does anyone have or know where I can get a wiring diagram. I know the heater itself is working just the fan does not blow. Any suggestions would be welcome.

i posted earlier and asked about my timing belt. All i have to say is thank you to everyone who responded. I disassembled the components necessary to change the belt, put the other one on after i reset the timing, and it fired up and purred like a kitten. after looking into this matter more i discovered that while it is in fact a dohc, the cams are driven by a internal belt under neath the valve...

i have a 99 elantra and was having problems with the tranny not shifting right. all of a sudden i was stuck in 3rd, no lockup, overdrive, anything. well i did some reserch and was told to have it rebuilt, so i did. i put the tranny back in yesterday and guess what? im still stuck in third. i can manually shift to 1st and ride it out till manually shifting to 3rd. i have no second gear. i have...

i own a 97 elantra and was going about 15mph when the timing belt busted. i know its an interference engine, however when i removed the shroud the cam was sitting in perfect position with the word up directly on top...Could this possibly mean that i may not need a valve job done to my elantra? any input would be greatly appreciated thanx in advance and hope to hear something soon

I can't figure out what's wrong with this car, about 3 weeks ago it started to run very badly so I had everything tested and cylinders 1 3 and 4 misfired, so I changed the plugs and wires with bosch platinum plugs, and cylinder 3 still misfired then it started surging on acceleration like it was kicking in and out of gear and it would stall every now and then, so I changed the coil pack,...

Hi Everyone,

My 97 Elantra is doing the strangest thing. It started losing coolant a few months ago and we couldn't see a leak. Took it to a few mechanics. Finally found a leak and was told it wasn't a headgasket. (My oil was fine, no gunk around where the oil goes in, no white smoke and no antifreeze smell)

The mechanic did replace the beat up radiator. This seems...

FM transmitters don't work well at all so I would like to hardwire my Microsoft Zune to my car's stereo. I was wondering if there is an RCA input on the back of my stereo. I have a 2000 Hyundai Elantra with the CD stereo model number H922J. If there is no direct RCA input on the back of my stereo what might be the best/easiest/cheapest way to get my MP3 player playing clearly through my...

i've locked the car and left keys in the car, can anyone help please. this is a genuine request.

The belt on my Elantra was squealing a little bit after first start up after I bought the car about 3 months ago.
Since then I have changed the timing belt and all the drive belts with Goodyear Gatorback Belts.
The past week or two my power steering belt screams when I first start the car and last for about 15 seconds and then stops, the car the will only squeal when I turn the wheel...

I want to be able to look through the downloadable infromation from hyundai online but they only list the cars in the US version. I need to know what a Hyundai Lantra estate from the UK is called in the US.

The reason for needing to information in the first place is that the car failed its MOT on a cv boot, a distorted anti roll bar linkage, and also the front brakes so i need to be...

My 97' Elantra has been idling rough lately. The vibrations intensify when I turn on the headlights (especially the high beams).

I know the problem isn't the spark plugs or plug wires. I added some Lucas Fuel Injector Cleaner to my gas tank thinking the injectors might be getting clogged, but the problem still remains.

Any ideas?

Hi folks,

I bought a used 99 elantra and can not be happier with it. It runs just fine, economic. I jumped on this forum, and try to learn more about overdrive button (O/D), and I found out that I should leave in on in order for running economically. I understand that, but I want to know, if I leave O/D off all the time, and drive it long (1 to some hours continuously), or drive it in...

Hello!

It's all about mileage when gas prices go up...

My Lantra 1.8 96' has fuel consumption from 6.7 L/100km (around 35 mpg US gal) to 7.3 L/100km (around 32 mpg US gal) - local roads (avg. 80km/h) and highway (avg. 110 km/h).

Here's the stuff I've done till now:
-NGK BKR5ES-11 (set to 1.05 mm gap by the book) checked every 25.000 km

Hi Everyone,

My positive battery terminal is loose. The wire leading to it is in pretty bad shape. Someone mickey-moused the connectors pretty bad before I bought the car.

Anyone replace the connectors and the wires?
Any advice?

Thanks
Hope

i have a 2000 automatic elantra that, as of last night, will not work unless i jump it every single time i have to start the car. i do not think it is the battery - that is fairly new (under a year) and i have had no problems at all. but i noticed that suddenly, after about five years, the red alarm light near the steering wheel has turned itself on. not blinking, just solid red. coincidence? ...

The compressor works fine, i had the system flushed and refilled, but it still won't blow cold air. Any ideas . Could the system be clogged somewhere. Where can I look.

I'm stuck.

Thanks

Hello all

I am a newbie in DIY on cars. I am trying to replace CV joints on my Elantra 2000. I have done it before on a Nissan Sentra.

The car is from the north and quite rusted.

On the driver side, I had some problem in breaking the hub nut loose. But eventually with rust eater and some heat to the nut, using a 32mm breaker and 3/4 breaker bar I was able to...

Is the alternator for 2003 elantra the same as with the 2002 elantras? I am planning to replace the alternator for the 2002 elantra with parts coming from a 2003 elantra (alternator). I believe I have a defective 2002 elantra alternator. It burns my headlight twice already once I start the car and the console light are very bright.

I have a 97 elantra that has just gone threw its 2nd automatic transmission. It tends to be a trend for the 97's in most of the forums i read online. I was wondering if it would be possible to install a manual transmission instead of an automatic. If this is possible which i think it is what would i need. Is it even worth it and is it just worth selling my fair condition elantra that needs a...

Took to dealer and he said he heard it also. They gave me a loaner and kept the car for a week. Them after that they said they could not find the problem! They said just drive it and when...

Hi,

I have a Lantra 1.6Si from 98 with 115k miles on the clock. My brake drums have become very rusty and are affecting handling now. I'm looking at replacing them, happy with second hand. Are these brake drum unique to this model or all Lantras or are they also the same to Accents, etc?

Hi. I have a 99 Elantra 5 speed. When I press the peddle down 25%, it revs fine. When i press it doen 50 % it bogs down. 100 % fairs a little better.

It had a Engine coolant temp sensor, a Air Charge temp sensor...
