Bosch have a replacement starter for the elantra. I do not have the part number but your auto shop is suppose to have it.

clutch &pressure plate must have got moisture on it & forze together put car in gear & turn car over it should brake free had it hapen to me

believe that car has fuel injection, so no

148-192 ft lbs.

your idle problem is because your carb is missing somelines such as vacuum etc.
the reason your top up is increasing is because your car is burning oil hence the white/blue smoke.
you need your head gaskets changed and also get your mechanic to take a look at your O-rings (piston rings)

The check engine light will come on when the computer detects a problem. There are quite a number of things that can make it come on. Since anyone would be just guessing, you need to get the code(s) retrieved. You will need an OBD II scanner or some auto parts stores will do it for free.

you don`t if say if you know but these codes mean misfire on cylinder 1 and cylinder 2.you also don`t say if you tried anything to fix.check out plugs they may need changing,it could be bad ignition wires or dirty injectors,or even dirty valves(not closing completly)causing misfire.you could have low compression on these two cylinders also.

TRANSMISSION NEEDS A FILTER AND NEW TRANSMISSION FLUID

SOME TIME THERE ONLY ONE BOLT TO REMOVE BECOS IT SLIDES ON PINS FROM THE STARTER

yes as it is possible that by turning the engine the opposite way the timing belt can jump a tooth or more causing the motor to be out of time and possibly cause engine damage

Sounds like to me you may need to have the nuetral safety switch adjusted or replaced. This switch will allow a vehicle to start only if the gear shifter is in the park or nuetral position if it starts in any other gear it may need to be adjusted or replaced hope this helps you.

Sure is

EVAP Vent Solenoid Circuit. Check the solenoid valve on the Fuel Tank vapor circuit.

P0447 Evaporative Emission Control System Vent Control Circuit Open

HAVE VECHICLE SCANNED FOR FAULTY EVAP CANISTER PURGE VALVE IT NOT CONTROLLING EXCESS FUEL VAPORS..THAT WILL CAUSE LOT OF FUEL CONSUMPTION.

I believe the only size engine they made for that model, both wagon and sedan styles, is a 1.8L 4cyl engine. Hope that helps!

Best picture I could find:

Remove the dash light dimmer and there is a screw located there, holding the dash panel. There is also one located on the center/bottom of the panel.

THERE IS A FUSE RELAY/ POWERBOX UNDER THE HOOD. GET A FUSE TESTER, TEST ALL FUSES BIG & SMALL. ONE OF THEM MUST BE BLOWN. THERE ARE TEST POINTS FACING OUT. THEY CAN BE TESTED WHILE STILL IN PLACE. POWER ON ONE SIDE ONLY, BAD FUSE. POWER ON BOTH SIDES GOOD FUSE. POWER ON NEITHER , PROBABLY A SPARE.

You should change the transmission fluid and filter every 15,000 to 30,000 miles or every two years.
