2004 Hyundai Elantra GT stalls continually

I have a 2004 Hyundai Elantra GT with 28,000 miles. It is a 5 speed.

About two weeks ago I filled my gas tank up, and within a day the car started to buck and shudder when I accelerated, and seemed like it wanted to stall when I had the clutch depressed or had it in neutral.

I figured it may have been bad gas as the problems stopped when the gas tank went to about a quarter tank.

This past weekend I filled the tank again. Within one day, the car stalled on me six times within a 5 mile area. It stalled when I stopped and was in neutral, and it also stalled when I would depress the clutch to shift.

The car now stalls within three minutes at idle, in neutral.

Needless to say I can't drive the car.

The dealer now has the car and they said it stalled for them only once at a stop light.

They told me they have no idea what the problem could be, but they are researching it.

Anyone here have any ideas?

Note, that the temperature here has been in the 90's for the past few days.

Thanks

It's rare, but I've heard of instances where the charcoal canister fills with fuel and then the fuel gets sucked into the intake and effectively floods the engine whenever the computer initiates vapor purge. I've seen only one car like this, but the fuel literally ran out of the canister when we removed it and turned it up.

My 2002 Elantra GT just started doing this yesterday. Could be bad gas as I just filled the tank the day before. It?s also hot here.

Have you found out what the problem was with yours?

Try removing the gas cap and see if it still stalls.

I've had the same problem with my car, take it into a hyundai garage and get them to check for recalls, mine had a recall on the manifold, and also on some petrol pipes and other parts to do with the petrol.
