Having problems with my car Elantra 2000 GLS 2.0 engine

[Jake31]

Hello fans from Hyundai, glad to meet you all, i wanted to let you all know my problems because i can get value information on how to fix my car, i recently buy a 2000 Hyundai Elantra with automatic trasmission, the car is 54224 milles and it was driving pretty good, last week when i was driving the car it just when off, i put the car to P and try to start it againg and nothing happen, i decided to call for a tool truck, when i was waiting i try to star the car againg and this time it start with the check engine light on so i move the car to my house, next day the same problem, i let the engine cool off and it will start againg but you are able to drive it only for 5 minutes, after that it just turn off againg, i already change the fuel pump but the car still giving the same problem. we just dont know what is wrong, and maybe you can point me to check something else.

Thanks in advance and congrats for the forum and the site :

the first thing i would do is check out that CEL(check engine light) even if its not their anymore, it will be stored.
then go from there. first find and pin point the problem then throw in the ONE part you need to fix it

saves you money

yeah, go get the code read at the dealership, Kragen or Autozone. From there you can pinpoint the problem(s). Good luck!

Well the car is already in a shop where they have de OBDII to find out what is wrong with the car and apppareantly shows that the fuel pump is giving problems, we already change the fuel pump, what we are going to do is to change the fuel pump againg, maybe the one i buy was not working, so we are going to give it back and they will change it, i will let you know what was wrong so all of you can use this info in the future, thanks for the replies :nervous:

While you're already tearing into the fuel system you might want to look at the fuel filter as well; it might simply be a clog from some filthy gas thats gunked up the element. If the pump was fresh this could be the case.

Good luck with it man.

Well the mechanic change some relays that are related to the fuel pump and fuel system, and it was the same problem, i dont know how to put it in english but we found that the cigueñal position sensor was working bad, we are changing this part today,i would let you know how this work, and will give you the exact name in english, by the way im from El Salvador Central America and sorry for my poor english :cry:

your english is far better than some of the people on the internet where english is their first language. i forget that not everyone has access to the ease of autozone or kragen. good luck amigo!

My thoughts exactly.

Good luck figuring out the problem, Jake31. And welcome to the boards.

In some places, cigueñal is the Cranckshaft. So I think it's his CranckShaft position sensor that is bad. And yes, his english is very good.
