I have a Hyundai Sonata 2002 automatic which has just broken down. What happened is that while driving the engine suddenly stopped and the check engine light turned on. I attempted to start the engine but soon after it started it died again. The next time I start it, the engine just cranks but won't start at all.

One big reason a car shuts off while driving could be problems with the fuel system. The fuel system moves gas from the tank to the engine. If something goes wrong here, the engine might not get enough gas and could stop working. There are a few things that could go wrong with the fuel system. The fuel pump might be broken, or the fuel filter
2. Out of Fuel. Your Sonata’s engine needs three things to run properly; air, fuel, and spark. If your motor runs fine and suddenly dies, one of these three things is abruptly taken away. In this case, it’s usually fuel. The most common reason your car shuts off when driving is a lack of fuel.
This scenario can occur because of the following reasons: When the pump is faulty, the fuel pressure remains below the required amount to start the engine, and your car can shut off randomly. Your car can simply shut down because its gas tank is empty. This situation occurs primarily when your gas gauge is faulty.
