2001 hyundai sante fe dying after sitting still

My car recently has been having some issues. It will start, but if I slow to a stop like a stoplight, stop sign, anything that makes the car go to a standstill it dies. Once it dies it takes up to 15-20 mins to start it up again. If I keep the car moving and going then I'm fine.

SOURCE: 1996 Hyundai Accent stopping

The same thing happened to me yesterdag on my hyundai accent 1.5 SOHC (2000). I was driving 130Km/h and suddenly the ignition failed. When restarting everything looked fine. A few weeks ago the engine wouldn't start, it cranks but doesn't start. I replaced spark plugs/wires.

I noticed the following, the second most left warninglight with "key-symbol" didn't light up when trying to start. after disconnecting the battery cabel (+), en after 15 minutes reconnecting it. The problem dissapeared. To me it seems the problem is the Immobilizer. (i'm not sure if this is the right name for it in english, it's called "Startonderbreker" in Dutch.)

Hope this will help.

Yes!... you've got a wiring problem. Go to www.hmaservice.com and register( Vehicle by VIN). Afterward, you have access to shop manuals, service bulletins, wiring diagrams, etc. about your vehicle.

Sounds like the purge control valve on your evaporative system is stuck open. In this case, what happens during fill-up is that fuel vapors are forced from the fuel tank into the intake manifold, effectively flooding the engine.
Todays fuel tanks are vented back into the engine. A "Carbon Canister" is supposed to absorb the vapors and then feed them into the engine in a controlled manner. If your canister is saturated or the purge valve stuck open, the fumes can "flood" the engine while refueling. Try holding the throttle wide open when you start after refueling to clear the vapor quickly.

Also next time you go to fill up, don't fill it all the way, maybe half or so, since the evap lines are at the top of the tank this should solve your problem, and give you at least some good information to take to your mechanic

Heater blower is not working on 2001 sante fe hyundai

Find the motor and smack it with something. If it starts then the motor brushes are worn down. This is common. You can replace it with a new one for about 100 at autozone. If it does not start, check the fuses and then check the voltages at the motor connection.

If your mechanic is right about catalytic converter at fault then you can ask him to just remove those for a while and check if your car works fine. Catalytic converter are there just to reduce pollution and I don't recommend to drive without them but for checking you can do that for a while.

I have the same issue with my 2003 Sante Fe. After I fill up, (whether it's 1/2 a tank or 1/4), my car will stall unless I pump the gas for about 60 sec. My Sante Fe has around 104,000 miles- it also only gets 13 miles to the gallon. I also had an issue with the check engine light. I had 4 different garages check it and all 4 told me they didn't know why it was on (has beem on since 2005). I recently replaced the battery and it went off. Ever since I've had the problem filling up.
