Intermittent non starting issues

Asked by April Jul 31, 2023 at 12:06 PM about the 2013 Hyundai Santa Fe GLS AWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

Been having a random issues of car not wanting to start, all
lights and everything works it just doesn't want to actually
start. After a retrying it multiple times sometimes less
sometimes more it starts the most being like 20 minutes.
The battery has been tested it's good, the starter is fine, all
accessories work, just won't crank. This doesn't happen all
the time sometimes it'll go weeks without doing it and
sometimes I'll do it 3 4 5 times a day it's very random and
intermittent and an inconvenient.

Cranking is turning over not starting , So it cranks but won't start ? ?, Make sure batt terminals are tight and in good condition , check fuse tangs for tarnish , Things need to be tested when the problem occurs , check for proper spark , fuel pressure and injector pulse , Look for any obvious wiring problem or trade the thing in , those cars are junk off the assembly line and it's 10 years old , Thats 25 years in korean car years
