I thought it could be the idle air control valve, until you said the problem also happens while driving on the freeway. Scan for codes, see if that gives you any clues. Make sure you’re using fresh gas (not older than a few months). Check the spark plugs to make sure they all look normal.

You could do a smoke test to check for air leaks but without more information, all of this is just a guess. You’ll have to narrow it down a bit and look for anything that seems out of place.

I have a 2014 Hyundai Accent Gls. The car recently started turning off while in idle at stop lights or stop signs. When trying to start it back up, it sometimes stalls and I have to hit the gas.
Also, while driving on freeway, going above 60, the rpm gauge meter drops down to 0.
Any idea what it could possibly be? Thanks in advance

In reply to Vusi.

Are you sure the crankshaft sensor is the root cause of your issue? Perhaps the car is cutting power because it can’t detect that sensor. It’s possible the problem is not with the sensor itself, but with some wiring or a bad ground.

What was the reason for replacement of the crankshaft sensor?

In reply to William H Williams. Are you sure you changed the correct camshaft sensor? Those codes all seem to indicate a problem with the bank 1 sensor, or possibly the wiring leading to that sensor.

In reply to Hunter Winstead.

By “not turn over” do you mean it won’t start? Turning over usually means the engine crankshaft will freely rotate, but doesn’t necessarily mean the car will run.

There could be a number of causes. You’ll have to check for air, fuel and spark to narrow down the problem.

1995 Chevy Tahoe stalled on highway cranks and sometimes fires but will not turn over.

Check engine light did appear when I hit 55mph
