It could be many things, from a faulty starter solenoid or dying starter, bad electrical connection or ground, faulty fuel pump or a dying fuel pump relay.

I am starting to have the same problem with the same year Santa fe 3.5 l engine(120 000km) and I suspect a low fuel presure on mine as it crank very good and at the same speed as before and I have no fuel smell on my oil. Also, my spark plugs were done only a month ago. Will know in 2 days when I bring it in for check up, no engine code so far.

ok, hello and thanks in advance for the help ... i have a Hyundai santa fe 2006, this is my story... i was out with the car and in a flash the car stop runing, and would not start again. I took it home with the help of a friend and began to try diagnose the problem because the check engine light was on... another friend came with a scanner and the code that came out of the pcm or icu told us that the problem was in the ride by wire system. I replace de system (pedal and servo unit in the intake manifold) pass the ignition switch, the check light went of... I try to start the car and the starter work fine but the car would not start! I began checking out the fuel pimp, and works fine; then I check the coil sparks and notice that in 3 easy ones to check front coils there is not spark whatsoever ... I try again to scan the car in the event that maybe another part or sensor was faulty, but the scanner says everything is fine! So, can anyone help me? Giovanni 1 Answer
