Our Hyundai Elantra will start while its cool but when you drive somewhere and get back in to return home it won't start. The engine light is not coming on, it will not turn over at all until the car cools down. We have checked the battery and the alternator and both are fine. What else should we have checked?

Don't wait for it to cool down 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, 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, distributor pick-up coil, ignition control module, cam and crank sensors and computer Note: If it doesn't apply disregard it
