Hyundai Repair: Hyundai Sonota 2002 4cyc, hyundai sonota, engine cranks


Question
This is a new problem just starting today, while driving to work after approximately 30-45 minutes car suddenly just stops running. I can hear the clicking under the dash while attempting to restart engine. After waiting 5-10 minutes car will start and I can drive again but decreasing time before shutting down again. I have had no major problems, but 2 years ago I did have timing belt changed.

Answer
Hi, Gary.  I'll need a little more information to understand what's occurring.

When the engine shuts off and will not restart:
-- Does the engine crank?  I.e., does the starter turn the engine?
-- If the engine cranks, does it crank slowly or at normal speed?
-- Does the check engine lamp illuminate when the ignition is in the on positon?
-- Does the engine begin to lack power and shut off gradually, over a short period of time, or suddenly?
