you may want to check your fuses and relays if you have an owners manual it will tell you where the fuses and relays for your specific problem are. also changing the bulbs is pretty easy and good insurance to come to a fix also the steering column may be broken or worn where the turn signal lever is hope this helps good luck

If the light is continuosly lit that indicates a fault in the SRS system have it checked by a shop you trust or the dealer

Sounds like a problem with your radiator. It gets too hot too fast. Get it checked to make sure that the fluid is pumping thru your engine correctly.

100% its the crank sensor. easy to change, 10mm socket on sensor which is located below the exhaust manifold on the right side of the engine.

it sounds like the immobillizer is giving bother like the key have u a spare key try it first or key reader faulty

its on the lower side of the block on the front side(by the radiator)and held in by 2 bolts and 2 wires

hmm.....Try Removing The Ash Tray if I'm Not wrong There Should Be Two Screws That Hold The whole panel facing for the radio ect.

FUEL CONSUMPTION CAN BE MANY THINGS LIKE LOW TIRES PRESSURE.LEAD FOOT ON ACCELERATOR .FUEL LEAKS.QUICK STOPS AND GO.DIRTY AIR FILTER.BRAKES DRAGGING.LOW ENGINE COMPRESSION.AND A BAD OXYGEN SENSOR.

P0734 means that your transmission is slipping. This being the case, it is not surprising that the gas mileage is poor. You will need to have your transmission checked out professionally. Take it to a trustworthy transmission mechanic or to a dealer. Get a second opinion before you have any work done.

This sounds more like a voltage regulator problem. The warning light is turned on by this device. When a charge comes from the alternator, it turns the light off, when the charge stops. ie egine stopped, it turns the light on, if the key is still on.

hi this should be done every 50,000 miles or 5 years wich ever comes first, and cost is dependent on where you take it, if main dealer 500 to 800 bucks, maybe more maybe less if you take it elsewhere but rough guide only, hope this helps you

Hi, You do not need to remove the seat to relieve the fuel pressure, this is done under the hood. I have attached a picture to help you find the location. What are you trying to perform??? Fuel pump test or fuel pump removal?? I'm thinking test. There is a relieve port located in the fuel supply line that has a schrader valve to allow pressure to be released. Cover it with a rag or your gonna know what fuel taste like or cause pressurized fuel to spray you in the face.

To the best of my knowledge the 1998 Hyundai Elantra has only a 1.8L (1796cc) engine. Are you sure on the 1.6L?

For the 1.8L:
Firing Order:
1-3-4-2
Cylinders:
(back of engine)
1-----2-----3-----4
(front of engine)
Ignition Connections:
(back)
o<---1
o<---4
o<---3
o<---2
(front)

As far as the markings on the outside of the engine, I'm not aware of any. However, by placing markings (white paint) on the Crankshaft Pulley (lip) and using the Timing Strobe you can get a relative idea. However this is not totally accurate, as the Camshaft Position is not visible. With a 4-Cylinder Timing symptoms will be very obvious.
Click on the following Link. It has the Timing Marking Diagrams for the inside of the engine.

If the coolant is below a certain level, the temperature sensor will not read anything and the temp gauge will not rise. Replace the cap, and check that you have enough coolant in the system. If this does not solve the problem, you will need to test/troubleshoot the coolant temperature sensor.

Check that the battery connections are tight and secure. If yes, check the starter motor connectors and check current to the starter while the ignition key is turned. If there is no current, try wiring the starter directly to the battery. If it turns, then the problem is in the wiring or it could be the starter motor fuse. If the starter does not turn, remove the starter and take it to an auto parts store for testing.

hi from uk have read your symptoms and from what you have described your starting /failure to turn engine ? 1st have you checked the leads to the starter motor are secure ? especially the single thin wire that fits to the starter solenoid on a spade connector ensure it is fully clipped on ? if ok ? may i suggest you try this ?= connect a single jump lead to the earth connector post on battery then the other end of jump lead to a suitable earth connection on the engine then try starter ifthis works your problem is a faulty/corroded or loose earth connection from the battery to the chassis/andon to engine usually connected to a bolt on point where trans connects to engine ? for info i have come across this problem a few times on accents and found that for some reason the thin wire connected to starter solenoid had come loose due to not clipped fully on also the earth lead from batteries have not had clean/securety loose bolt hope this helps and wish you luck

Check that the heater core valve is opening. You will find it between the engine and the firewall.

If you have not done so already, check the transmission fluid level. If you are low on fluid, there is a chance that adding fluid to the correct level may solve the problem. The fluid level should be checked with the car idling and the shift lever in neutral. There are two sets of Hi/Low marks on the transmission dipstick, one for Cold (car just started) and one for Hot (car running for 20 minutes or more). Use Hyundai recommended SPIII fluid. However, this does seem like a more serious transmission problem. Take the car to a qualified transmission mechanic.

Check for a blown fuse in the fusebox in front of the driver door. The fuses are labeled on the fusebox door panel.

sounds like a fuel issue,fuel pump may be faulty
