No idea without a good look could be a relay is being flashed across where its on the same earth connection or picking up a low voltage supply from a dodgy wire ,would need a good look and a play to be sure of this sort of problem ,but if this vehicle is a american market car then its a problem with the magic relay and its screaming in protest as something is holding it in one place all the time instead of hiding around the inside of the car when its being looked for by the owner judging by the questions on this site .

I suggest check root wires and harnesses connections, some short there.

maybe theres not enough trans fluid in the trans or the trans is stuffed

Two on motor one front and rear. One on tranmission.

If its one, look on sides of motor (middle of block). You should see a cord start there.

Timing belts do wear out - they flex and bend literally millions of times while they last.If you are having problems with timing belts wearing out before their rated lifespan, check the timing gears for misalignment, burrs, wear, or improper lubrication. Worn crank, camshaft or belt tensioner bearings may also cause problems with the belt. Also make sure the belt tensioner is working properly, with the rated amount of tensioning force.

sounds like blend door actuator or possible vacuum leak

Have you checked your fuel filter and fuel pump to be sure that they are functioning correctly? That is the first place you should start.

Fuel pump relay on the 98 Elantra is contained with MAP sensor. So test MAP sensor.

P1611 =
MIL request signal circuit low input MIL-on Request Line

This code is set when the MIL On Request from the TCM (Transmission Control Module) has/had a problem getting the information to the ECU (Engine Control Module). In the 98 Elantra, there are two separate computer modules; one for the engine, the other for the transmission. (both located under the dash Driver's side. The diagnostic procedure specifies the wiring between the ECM & TCM be checked for any damage/defects. If none found, then replace the TCM with a new one to see if the problem (code) occurs again. If communication between TCM & ECM is corrected, you should have a ****** code related to the MIL On Request from the TCM (****** codes begin with P07 w/the next two digits (??) identifying the specific transmission component/malfunction).
