Hyundai Elantra Engine Problem

Hi,

If my car stalls when trying to start it, I either have to leave it for five minutes then try again, or else keep turning key a few seconds at a time without the engine catching at all until I hear a soft whirring sound after which the engine catches perfectly on the next attempt

Cheers

Cheryl

Check the battery terminals. Ensure they are clean and tight.
