The Hyundai Elantra 2001 - 2005, 2.0 L engine is noted for this problem. It will lack power on acceleration and run rough and stall while driving. The engine light will come on for misfire codes. This problem is caused by a vaccum leak at the intake manifold gasket. The gasket is broken and needs to be replaced.
To replace the intake gasket with a new one, remove the 12m nuts holding the intake to the cylinder head. Then pry back( note: you do not have to completely remove the intake manifold here) the intake manifold to gain excess to remove the old gasket. Remove any excess gasket and clean with brake cleans the surface area of the intake. Install the new intake gasket on to the head and carefully install intake on to cylinder head studs. Tighten up nuts gradually and evenly to 15-20 ft.lbs.
RECHECK MAKE SURE ALL VALVE COVER BOLTS BEEN REMOVED. LOOK AT THE NEW VALVE COVER GASKET COUNT BOLT HOLES IN NEW GASKET IF YOU COUNT SAME AMOUNT BOLT HAS BEEN REMOVED. VALVE COVER STUCK TAKE A RUBBER HAMMER TAP VALVE COVER TO BREAK THE SEAL.DONT PRY VALVE COVER YOU WILL DAMAGE VALVE COVER AND SEAL SURFACE CAUSING YOU TO GET A OIL LEAK.
It maybe a valve cover leak, the retangular covers (2) the sparks plugs are located along the side, if you see oil around you will need to have the valve cover gasket replaced
usual on 4 cylinder around 175psi.225psi is very high for your car,150psi seems ok,you may have two problems.A leaking head gasket and high compression due to carbon build up on the pistons.Check your Hyundai Dealer to see is this problem is covered under their 100,000 mile warranty,it should be.IF not then
the head needs to come off and had gasket replaced along with clean the top of pistons since they are right there,sounds like and easy fix.also check condition of radiator,and I would rec. replacing thermostat since some Hyundai models had problems with their thermostats
