My 99 Hyundai Elantra will be running fine and die out of nowhere. What could cause the problem?

When it dies it wont start for a while unless I spray starting fluid into the air filter. It is beginning to do it more frequently.

There a lot of cuses for this but you need to scan the vehicule before to know what sensor is having troubles, if is too much expensive the scan in your city consider to buy one. I see in ebay a lot of types of OBD2 scanners for $25-30!

2001 Hyundai Elantra will crank but wont start. Only when you spray Easy Start up the air intake will it start. Once the car is started it doesn't run well and struggles up hills?

Question edited into proper written English.
Question moved to model category.

Clean throttle body and MAF.

If that doesn't work, you need an auto electrician with a pro grade scan tool computer to diagnose the electronics.

My 2004 hyundai elantra just started dying out of no where sometimes it runs just fine sometimes it just jerks like its going to die and sometimes it actually dies not sure whats goin on???

My friend had this problem with her Hyundai 2003 Sante Fe...just dying out. And I did some research for her. There was one particular forum, where I Googled the make and model, year of the vehicle that came up where a few people had this problem. And the problem isn't picked up by the dearler's computer test. The part was the EGR solenoid control valve. Maybe that's a place to start?

Car won't stay started

When gasoline sits for that length of time it turns into a varnish like substance. It gets the consistancy of something like real sticky warm creamy peanut butter. (basically turns to thick sticky muck). Which plugs the pick-up screen on the fuel pump, the fuel injectors and can even plug the fuel lines. Fuel injectors are designed to "spray" the fuel into the intake in a very fine mist. I believe the reason it starts then dies is because even though the injectors are plugged they will "drip" fuel because of the pressure that fuel injection works on. The "drip" is just enough to fire the engine and then die.
What you can do to confirm that the problem is actually fuel related is, using a can of carbuerater cleaner (in a spray can) start the engine while spraying into the air intake. If the engine keeps running as long as you keep spraying, the problem IS fuel related. If the engine doesn't stay running when sprayed. Then the problem is NOT fuel related. I don't recommend using "brake clean" to do this because some brands of "brake clean" are non-flammable. I hope I wrote this so that you understand what to do. Good luck.
