Have your fuel pressure checked it maybe your fuel pump or a bad fuel filter or fuel regulator

    Fixed!!! no fault codes stored and would start then cut out with puffs of white smoke and strong unburnt diesel smell like it was fuel related(Sometimes it would even run but not rev up correctly).. Checked fuel system and crank sensor (OK) but disconnected EGR valve 2 pin connector and started first turn!!Removed EGR and cleaned (Runs perfect) but replacement ordered.. Hope this save´s someone time and money :) !

mirandamcl,

I just took my 2006 Tucson in to have this fixed. It was simply that that hose from the air filter was not clamped on tight. That was 2 days ago, no more problem.

SOURCE: Hyundai Sonata 2000, sluggish to start only after fueling

Purge control solenoid valve is suspect. After refueling, the charcoal canister can become 'saturated' and this valve (if stuck OPEN) sucks air through it and can draw raw fuel into the intake manifold creating a 'flood' condition.

SOURCE: Hyundai i30 Diesel automatic won't accelerate above idle at light

DOES THE ENGINE MIL WARNING LIGHT COME ON? WITH OUT MORE INFO YOU NEED TO CHECK MOTOR ON A CODE READER FOR STORED FAULTS, CHECK ALL AIR LINES TO EMMISION CONTROL, , SOUNDS LIKE YOU HAVE GONE INTO SAFE MODE, A SPLIT OR LEAKING PIPE ON THE INTERCOOLER IS A COMON FAULT ON THESE, IF YOU SWITCH ENGINE OF AND BACK ON QUICKLY WITH MOTOR RUNNING WITH OUT STALLING MOTOR AND IT CLEARS THEN IT IS PROBERLY THE SAFE MODE CUTING IN MEANING A FAULT HAS BEEN SEEN BY PCM

Testimonial: "Thanks.Didn't notice any engine lights came on. I had a problem free day today, but if it happens again will check warnings and PCM computer check"

Waterpump, seems like a likley culprit. Your Ac compressor belt runs over your water pump. when the ac is on it puts more load on your engine , your water pump may be defected and not able to handle the extra load.

Hyundai Tucson 2009 give P0193, change complete rail with sensors. Change High pressure pump, low pressure pump in the tank but still not starting. After holding the key in the start position for almo

A few things come to mind.
After a fuel failure like that it is possible you have fouled the plugs, causing a hard start, rough idle.
Also, if it was run any length of time in that state its possible the catalytic converter has become slightly clogged not allowing the rpm's to climb.
I would start with a quick check of the plugs.

N80 start

You have to find the reason the check engine light is on. This will aid in diagnostics. Also, are you buying fuel at the same place both times?

Hyundai tucson will not start

if this only happens after rainy weather, I would change your wires and coil or coil pack, I would go for the wires first since its the cheapest thing, also if that doesnt do the trick try jumping it , if it starts check the output from the alternator to make sure its putting out at least 12 volts or higher, you will need a multi meter to do this

I have a Hyundai Trajet 2002 Gasoline. I have a problem with keeping the engine alive.

The engine is running very rich that is why the exhaust is emitting black smoke. The engine needs a tune up so the air fuel mixture is correct.
