[b]Can you tell me where the vaccum hose on a 99 elantra is located? We are trying to pinpoint the problem with my sister's car. It starts up fine but when she drives it will sputter then die. Once it dies it takes an hour or so before it will start again. Any suggestions? :lol:

How many miles?
Might be in need of a tuneup.
A clogged fuel filter can cause the stalling.
Any codes /check engine lights?

There should be a sticker with the vacuum hose routing under the hood on the radiator support. Hope it helps you narrow it down. :)

Suggested Repair

Check the vacuum hose routing diagram on the under-hood sticker on the radiator support. Also scan for codes, consider a tune-up, and inspect the fuel filter, since a clogged filter can cause stalling.

Conversation Summary

The owner of a 1999 Hyundai Elantra asked where the vacuum hose is located. The car starts normally but sputters and dies while driving, then will not restart for about an hour. The expert said the vacuum routing diagram should be on a sticker under the hood on the radiator support, and suggested checking mileage and codes, a possible tune-up, and a clogged fuel filter as a cause of the stalling.
