Have the fault codes read. Replace faulty items. Use only genuine items as non-genuine replacement are not always compatible with the OEM fitted CPU units. I suspect a reverse solenoid is faulty.

I've have replaced a few of Elantra's transmissions. I find it common to start with no reverse, usually shortly after it wont drive it at all.But there still hope. A link between the shifter and the transmission could have popped out. If you have a mechanic you trust, i would have him check that.

I am not sure about restart the engine,but I would check the crankshaft sensor or the crankshaft pulley...When a crankshaft sensor has failed or is failing, certain timing problems will arise in engine function. The engine may start normally in some cases, but will cut off after a few minutes (or seconds) of operation. More than likely the engine will be unable to start at all. Since the crankshaft sensor is responsible for engine timing, the driver may experience engine backfire or irregular rpm function, if the vehicle starts at all.

Are you sure there is a seal?Did not came out with the plug?Some spark plugs does not have any seal.

maybe u can try use an sharp object like srew driver scrath around the cam body..coz it maybe hidden with some dirt..but if like my eg8,i will put a mark b4 put off evrything especially the timing belt..

Even if you could this would be illegal.

http://wiki.answers.com/Q/Where_is_the_fuel_filter_located_on_a_1999_elantraFuel filter looks like the easiest thing to address, if that doesnt work, you may want to get the code from the computer (check engine light means the system has generated a code). That would probably indicate exactly which component is at fault. You can get the codes at an auto parts store, they should be able to hook up a scanner for you.

probably not. most inside door handles are push on and held with a spring clip that requires a flat tool that slides between the handle and the plastic washer or the plastic plug in the center of the handle prises out and ther will be a small screw to remove then the handle slips off. Normally the screw has a 8 mm head or a philips screw recess

The speedometer should be on the same circuit as the rest of the gauges. If the speedometer and odometer stop working, you should get a check engine light and the problem could be the speed sensor in the transmission.

most of the time it is the speed sensor has gone bad

ON before ignition
OFF after ignition
ON again when the speed is constant on 3rd gear and above
OFF if you changed the speed

It is in the fuse box in the engine compartment, I have a 2000 Elantra,

Check for a loose fuel cap. Take car to autozone for free check engine light code reading.

replace the thermostat housing and use hi temp gasket silicone.

If the fuse KEEPS blowing it is because someone keeps replacing the fuse without diagnosing and repairing the reason the fuse is blowing.

Please review this article: Where's The Fuse?

Anyway, you have a dead short to ground in your brake lamp circuit that needs to be fixed before your wiring harnesses light up and smoke your entire vehicle.

Should be right under the brake master cyl

If the battery light is on, your charging system is not working. This may have also caused the brake light to come one. Recommend you replace the alternator and see if that doesn't extinguish both lights. If not, please get back to me.

Check your o2 sensor harness. The harness if not properly secured will rub on the axle to a point where it rubs through the insulation of the wire & shorts on the axle causing the ECU fuse (20A) to blow. Repair the harness & replace the fuse & bada bing! You should be in business! Hope that works. IF NOT follow this K.I.S.S.

Keep It Super Simple! It never fails!
