    my Sante Fe starts and once it runs for lets say half an hour approximely, it shuts off and won't start until it cools down. I was told maybe it was a sensor. Further knowledge would be great!

2004 Hyundai Santa Fe starts but then wants to die. Could it be the fuel filter?

If it hasnt been done already, it's a good place to start. Be careful to release pressure before removing it!

I have a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe. The low fuel light came on after I put in 3/4 of a tank of gas. Then the light went off, and all seems fine. It was a 100 degree day when this happened. Could that have been...

Well anything is possible.
The low fuel sensor for the warning light is part of the gauge in the tank. As long as the gauge works and the light does not come back on I would not be concerned. You may want to watch your mileage to make sure you don't run out of fuel if the gauge does fail.

I have a 2004 Hyundai Santa Fe and it keeps dieing on me. The starter, battery and alternator are all fine, what is the problem?

You didn't tell us under which conditions it is dying while at a steady speed, at an idle, when cold or warm, etc. Knowing those would help narrow the cause.
At a guess, I would be looking at the coil pack, idle air control or a failing fuel pump.
