There are a number of possible causes. Either not enough fuel getting to the high pressure pump - blocked fuel filter, in-tank pump failing. Or fuel rail pressure being lost - faulty rail pressure sensor, leaking injector, faulty rail pressure regulator. Start simple & change the fuel filter.

I know this post is old but I bought a 2005 diesel Tucson and it kept cutting out when warm and I would have to wait for 15 mins to restart it only to get 15 mins up road and same thing. Mechanics told me it was probably fuel pump, fuel filter etc but after doing a lot of research online, I managed to diagnose the fault and it was a crankshaft sensor! Had it changed and runs like a new car! :) So glad I didnt waste money getting all those other things done!

Can anyone please help! I bought a 2005 Tucson in March 2019 and a week later had this same issue - wouldnt start when hot and kept cutting out when not accelerating. I broked down 7 times on the M4 from London to Wales and was supposed to do a course in Exmoor the next day and couldnt get there - gutted! Had to get relayed all the way back to London! Anyways, I found this thread and had a new crank shaft sensor fitted and hey presto ran like new! I also replaced the cam shaft sensor a couple of weeks later as that was the advice I was give. Now some 2-3 later my car isnt starting when hot again. I cannot believe my luck as they moved my course in Exmoor to this weekend and now 2 days before the car isnt starting - even when it's been sitting in the sun! The worst thing of all is that I am moving to Spain in 3 weeks and bought this car specifically to take with me due to the spec! I am at a loss what to do - does anyone please have any first hand experience of this?

Thanks.

Sorry to be brutal, but your best bet is probably:

Hire a car to get you to Exmoor, assuming that you've checked that train and taxi won't be practcable.

Flog the Hyundai and buy a LHD car in Spain.
