I am excited I found this forum I/my son has a 1998 Tiburon FX 5 speed 2.0 engine. I am willing to put some time and money in it to get it restored as I have a feeling it is a pretty good car.

First off we lost 3rd and 4th gear on the tranny, I think the altenator is overcharging the battery and I can't get it to start anymore because the ETACM blew up. I think the alarm control module is preventing us from starting. Is there anyway to bypass this or will i need to purchase another one $75 at the salvage yard. pretty expensive for just a speculation. If anyone can shed some light on this I appreciate it, bypass or taking the alarm out all together. I am a DIYer if I have good instructions.

Thanks
