SOURCE: Hyundai Veracruz 2007 Sudden engine
OK, folks, here's the scoop. The dealer took our Veracruz in for diagnostic testing and determined the cause of the problem was the actuator for the Electronic Transmission Control system (ETC).
Apparently, in later model cars like the Veracruz, a computer controls the transmission as well as the engine for optimum performance.
If the computer detects a severe enough fault in one of the components of the ETC (e.g. bad sensor, bad component, etc), it places the vehicle in limp home mode.
Based on my experiences, when in limp home mode, the transmission is forced to stay in 3rd gear, the engine will not exceed 2000RPM, the accelerator is not responsive past 2000RPM, and the engine runs rough (probably because the mixture is changed to very rich). The philosophy here, as was explained to me by somebody who works for Hyundai, is to allow the vehicle to continue operating long enough so that it can be driven to a safe location or for service.
I asked whether or not this limp home "feature" could be disabled at the dealership, but apparently it cannot.
I have alerted some folks at Hyundai Motor USA to this thread so they can do further research if the problem begins to affect more individuals than just us three.
FYI - I am in no way shape or form a mechanic or mechanically-minded, so if I have explained anything correctly, I will gladly accept further corrections/explanations from an expert or mechanic. :)

I have a unit of this model, last time i also face to this problem.Maybe you can try to make the aircond delay system out of the main ECU control. this is the way i solved the problem.
SOURCE: engine run rough at idler and surges
I would change the fuel filter and see if that don't help. You might give it a good tune up and adjust the timing. ( If it has a carburetor then adjust the carb too.
SOURCE: Low engine idle speed when the air conditioning is running
the ac idle assist may be defective, if it's electric check the fuses if it's vachum operated check for vac. leaks. Also lube cables sometimes they stick Use wd-40 on the cables sparingly don't want dirt to stick to the cable.

Idle is factory set and cannot be adjusted, your best bet is checking for cracked hose pipework for air intake at idle,(not at problem under exceleration and driving) Any slight upset to the air /fuel ratio will be most prevelent at idle speeds.Check hoses where the meet metal flanges on manifold intakes and any sharp bends in ppipes.Good luck
