Hyundai Elantra Forum The Hyundai Elantra Forum. Later models (96-up) of this 4-door share their Beta engines and chassis with the Hyundai Tiburon. Earlier Mistubishi-based Hyundai Elantras (92-95) are perfect candidates for the popular 4g63t motor swap, which turns the Hyundai Elantra into a real sleeper. These characteristics make the Hyundai Elantra a great car for those who want sports car performance with family car flexibility.

BAD NEWS !!!

The CEL could be due to the high idle. The ECU really wants the idle to be at 800 rpm, and it will trigger a cel if it stays above that for too long. The "staging" setup could cause the ECU to trigger the CEL as well, thinking it is a "high idle".

I'm sure boggyman can get you the TB if you e-mail him.

The CEL will stay on for up to 3-5 days. It doesn't go off automatically.

you should REALLY get the OBD-ii cable and software if you are going to be messing with your engine to this extent. It saves a lot of headaches and worries by giving you the CEL error codes and all the sensor inputs.

They just ran a group buy on the OBD-ii software and cables. They got it for $75. I think the regular price is $120.
