1999 Hyundai Accent 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual

hi, over last few weeks my hyundai accent has been starting whenever it feels like so it seems. I cant recognise any pattern in when it does or doesnt start, it will attempt to start ( turns over) but no luck. Jump starting with another car ort battery pack has no effect. Often wont start but will come back an hour or so later and will start fine. Any ideas? Cheers

Do below to determine whether it's fuel or spark related problem:

Cranks but no start condition:

Fuel and Spark:
Get a helper disconnect a sparkplug wire or 2 and ground it to the engine at least 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.
