Ok well I have a 2001 hyundai accent and it has a couple problems such as. If I were to let the car sit over night and go to start it up in the AM it would start up fine but after about 5 maybe 10 minutes of driving it would just stall. And once it stalled and I would try to start it back up again it wont start but if I were to wait about 15 20 minutes then it would start right up I really need this car to run right but I just dont know what is wrong with it please help me !

Next time it refuses to start don't wait for it to make up its mind-do below immediately to determine if its fuel or spark problem

Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine atleast 3/16 away from ground-have helper crank engine over-do you have a snapping blue spark? If so-you have a fuel related problem, Do you hear the fuel pump come On when you turn key on? If not check fuel pump fuse and fuel pump relay if so, check the fuel pressure to rule out the fuel filter/fuel pump/pressure regulator and listen to the injector/s are they pulsing or hook up a noid light. No snapping blue spark continue to troubleshoot the ignition system-power input to the coil/coil packs, coil's resistances, cap and rotor, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it and keep testing
