Top 20 1997 Hyundai Elantra - Page 2 Questions & Answers

it is very possible that when the pump/fuel level sender assembly was reinstalled, the fuel lever float binded preventing it from floating to indicate proper fuel level, or the fuel level sender plug isn't plugged in at the fuel pump.

Have the fuel pressure checked after it sets over for a few hours.

Power windows work either by direct gears or through a cable attached to the motor. In most instances the cable brakes and you may have to by a complete unit. check with a spares department an decide on either a new one or one from the wreckers

The public library will have either "Alldata" or "Mitchell on Demand" which will show component locations for your car. Also some part stores can also tell you where that is located.

Ok....what do you want us to do about it? Take your car to a mechanic. Unless your just not pressing the clutch....

Throttle position sensor, check that, or fuel pump/filter

check with a auto parts store and see if that model had a option without ac and get a belt for that

Rarely a fix for that --other than a rebuildMay want to have a trans shop check it outI will guarantee you that they will want to rebuild itnecessary or not.If it is original from 1997 then it's all over,go for for a remanor rebuild yoursGoing forward --- you change trans fluid as well as power steering,every 3 years period, or keep your check book handy (all vehicles)

What problems are you having?There is no list of common vehiclefaults. All vehicles suffer the same fate

need to check for transmission codes to make sure you don't have a bad shift solenoid if it an automatic. if it is a manual shift check the clutch disc for wear.

What is the problem with the rack n pinion ? What problems are you having with the car, please make sure to list the engine size and car info again.

This is a situation where the onboard diagnostics is not monitoring the defective part. In this case you must trial and error a solution starting with the cheapest part or the most probable bad part. In the old days a problem like yours would point to a bad coil. But many of the newer cars have coils on each sparkplug or 2 or more groups of coils. You then would have part of the system working and would find spark in part of the wiring.Since you have no spark at all, a controlling part for the entire system must be bad. If you have but 1 coil on your model, change it. But look to other parts like Ignition relays, crankshaft or camshaft sensors or the Powertrain control module for defects.You can get a fusebox or powerbox diagram at Autozone.com when registering your car for FREE. Then you will know where the proper Relay is if you do not have an Owners manual.There may be a defect in the safety mode of the engine controls which are suppose to engage a LIMPHOME mode to keep you running when an engine overheats. It would be a defect if it killed the engine instead of limiting RPM and other dash indicators should light up.Besides trying a new coil or Relay about all is left is an attached monitoring device which a Dealer mechanic would use to drive your car until it fails. These better monitoring devices record things directly and can bypass the onboard system, which allows previously unmonitored systems to be observed.The failure is recorded on this added on device and it can make difficult to solve problems apparent to the mechanic. Sometimes it is the only way to catch a defect in he act. Depending on the parts prices, guessing can be more expensive than using this Dealer device.If I was accurate, please let me know the outcome as some others may have future problems I can solve knowing this.

Hi there:Two ways it could be a lack of fuel. Low fuel pressure or lack of injector pulse. Low fuel pressure is usually just a bad or weak fuel pump.. but you would want to check power to the pump when this happens before replacing it.Injector pulse would be too low based on an input to the computer. These would include the coolant temp sensor, tps and mass air flow sensor.Just a hit, sometimes the purge valve leaks fuel vapors into the intake and causes a hard start condition. However, this usually causes the engine to be flooded.. or have too much fuel or fuel vapors.Other posibilitie could be the CKP (Crankshaft Position) sensor, but rare.Hope this helps; also keep in mind that your feedback is important and I`ll appreciate your time and consideration if you leave some testimonial comment about this answer. Thank you for using FixYa, have a nice day.

Could be a lot of things. ThermostatCoolant pumpLow coolantBlown head gasketsPlugged radiator

cooling fan not turning on it should also turn on with the a/c

There is a special puller tools you may need if the pulley does not pull out after removing the center bolt. This puller has two bolts included in the kit that thread into two holes on the pulley to help extract it.

motor diagram? not sure what that would be.
Are you looking for wiring schemata, electrical/ spark?
You might try your local dealers PARTS department - once you determine what it is you are looking for.
Alternatively a haynes of chiltons repair manual for this year's vehicle/make/model at your local library or auto parts store - Call ahead for availability.

Hi,
All cars have two fuel filter, some have even three fuel filters.
The first one is in the fuel tank and the other one is in the engine compartment.
Hope that helps you out!

You could be due for a tune up if you haven't had one lately. Replace the fuel filter also.
