1999 Hyundai Elantra Service and Repair Manual
Every torque value, clearance and sequence in the 1999 Hyundai Elantra factory service and repair manual was written for this exact year, engine and trim, so the figure you work to is the one Hyundai published for the 1999 car rather than a close-enough number carried over from another Elantra generation.
Engines covered
- 2.0L inline-four — DOHC, naturally aspirated, gasoline

Known issues on the 1999 Elantra. Two recalls are on federal record for this model year. The first covers the electrical system wiring: affected Elantras may have experienced intermittent low-speed engine stalling, a condition that can cause the engine to stall, increasing the risk of a crash. The second covers the automatic transmission, where the pressure control solenoid valve seals do not remain sufficiently elastic; such slippage can cause premature deterioration of the friction element surfaces. Owners have logged 183 complaints for the year and Hyundai has issued 59 technical service bulletins. The factory diagnostic and repair procedures behind both of those systems are in this manual.
From tracing a low-speed stall to diagnosing a slipping automatic transmission or working through a routine service interval on a GL or GLS, it keeps you on Hyundai's own procedure and the correct specification for your 1999 Elantra.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: SOME SONATA VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH 2.5 LITER V-6 ENGINES AND ALL ELANTRA MODEL VEHICLES MAY HAVE EXPERIENCED INTERMITTENT LOW-SPEED ENGINE STALLING, WHICH COULD OCCUR IF THE MAF (MASS AIR FLOW) SENSOR ELECTRICAL SIGNAL IS INTERRUPTED AS A RESULT OF ENGINE VIBRATION TRANSMITTED TO THE MAF SENSOR CONNECTOR WIRING HARNESS.
THIS CONDITION CAN CAUSE THE ENGINE TO STALL, INCREASING THE RISK OF A CRASH.
DEALERS WILL RE-ROUTE THE MAF SENSOR CONNECTOR WIRING HARNESS.
VEHICLE DESCRIPTION: PASSENGER VEHICLES EQUIPPED WITH AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSIONS. THE AUTOMATIC TRANSMISSION PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE SEALS DO NOT REMAIN SUFFICIENTLY ELASTIC, RESULTING IN TRANSMISSION FLUID LEAKAGE. THIS LEAKAGE CAN RESULT IN REDUCED PRESSURE APPLICATION TO THE CLUTCHES, BRAKE, AND KICKDOWN SERVO, ALLOWING THEM TO SLIP.
SUCH SLIPPAGE CAN CAUSE PREMATURE DETERIORATION OF THE FRICTION ELEMENT SURFACES AND COULD CAUSE THE VEHICLE NOT TO ACCELERATE, OR NOT ACCELERATE AS EXPECTED, WHEN THE DRIVER PRESSES THE ACCELERATOR PEDAL.
DEALERS WILL REPLACE THE PRESSURE CONTROL SOLENOID VALVE.
