Sounds not good. Question how long was car driven before it overheated. Next thing check your oil if there is a white milky kind of sludge in oil then you may blowen a headgaskit if thats the case you may need a new engine.

SOURCE: 2003 Hyundai Elantra won't start.

Has similar problem, just got back from the shop and they said it's the neutral safety switch.

Tip on starting even with a broken switch:
1.) Turn the key all the way to start position (you will hear the gas pump humming and all the lights should be on)
2.) press the clutch pedal all the way down (if it starts, then it's fine, if not, proceed to step 3)
3.) release the pedal slowly and just slightly (an inch or so).
-->on the first try, you should hear a slight click and feel the car moving slightly. That's the point where the car tried to start.
4.) Repeat step 3 for several times if the car doesn't start until you are able to grasp that exact point and once you hear that click, hold the clutch at that point and the engine should fire away.

Of course this is just for temporary counter measure, I have to do this because this is my commuter car and I got to find a way to have a reliable and predictable start. Hope this helps.

unless you can discover what DTC (Diagnostic Trouble Code) has been recorded/set in the control module, it's anyone's guess.

SOURCE: How to replace 2004 Hyundai Elantra starter

First, disconnect the battery. Then the only part that needs to be removed to access the starter is the rubber air plenum boot between the throttle body and the air filter housing. This allows enough room to get an arm in there to access the 14mm bolts that attach the starter to the transmission. After removing the bolts, the starter can be removed from underneath the car. lower it down as much as possible, and unbolt the power cable. You may have to twist and turn it a bit to get around the support between the engine block and intake manifold, but it will come out.

Hyundai Elantra 1.6 1997 model overheats after it has no power. What could be the problem ?

Check for water in the oil (gooey foam after running) - blown head gasket. Check for exhaust smelling bubbles in the radiator - blown head gasket. Otherwise heat activated fan switch (on the radiator) is not coming on soon enough or at all. No fan will overheat an engine especially if a lot of stop and go or idling on warm days.Most common is a stuck thermostat, blocking circulation. Other causes are a blocked radiator - shut a warmed engine off and feel the radiator all over - if too cool in some areas, it is possibly getting clogged up inside. If you are getting radiator antifreeze smell inside the car (fogging the windshield when the car starts in cool weather) your heater core is leaking.

Overheated now won t start

Do a compression test or cylinder leakage test to check if the head gasket is blown. Looks like it blew on the water side. Or it could be that it overheated so badly that it could have collapsed the rings.. But if its not turning over means water got into the cylinders and seized up the piston. Remove the plugs and have a looks with bore scope for water ingress

Had my thermostat radiator replaced 4 weeks ago, driving down the road ac running car started to overheat shut ac off it stopped anyone have this problem

Yes these do happen with the a/c on the condensor gathers heat,thats why the cooling fan is suppose to run when you have the a.c on.You solution is to inspect that the radiator fan goes to high speed,when the a/c iscommaned on.if it does not come on further inspection will be required of the operation of the radiator fan.

Check the operation of the radiator cooling fan circuit:-
1) check fan control temperature sensor is ok,
2) check/replace the cooling fan control relay,
3) check supply fuse for cooling fan is ok.

04 hyundai gt

sounds like the transmission fluid level is incorrect. Follow the instructions in the owner's manual. You'll need a funnel, rags, and Hyundai transmission fluid ($15 a litre in Canada)

2003 hyundai elantra gt overheat

If the upper radiator hose is cool, but the engine is overheated than this could be a sign that the thermostat is stuck. By the way, the thermostat is at the end of the upper hose in the metal housing. There are two bolts holding it to the engine.
