Asked by Guru9Z4RNZ Nov 23, 2020 at 02:45 PM about the 2001 Hyundai Santa Fe

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

at random it will start but shut right off.  over and
over.  I can press gas immediately after it cranks
and rpm will go up but then dies out even while still
pressing gas pedal.  noticed not reving higher to
warm engine.  when it does start and revs higher
it'll stay running with no problem.
