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

Body styles covered

• 4-door sedan
• 5-door wagon

Trims covered

• GL
• GLS

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.
