what's wrong with my 2003 Hyundai Elantra???? Please help!?
I was driving across 800 miles. In the car for 8 hours already, then we hit construction (stop and go). It was terrible. The temp guage didn't show hot and no lights came on but all of a sudden when I hit the gas pedal nothing happened. The care never did die, it kept running it just wouldn't go anywhere. I had a half a tank of gas so that wasn't the problem. I managed to get off the highway and onto a side road. I set there for an hour and a half for help. When help arrived I started the car for him to show him what it was doing and it ran perfect. We got back on the road and completed our trip (another 4 hours). What do you think was wrong with the car as I am headed out again for another road trip and I don't want it to happen again. It hasn't done that again for since and that was 2 months ago.
No dash lights came on or anything and I just replaced the maf sensor so that's not it. Any other suggestionss

You have a problem with something called a MAF(mass airflow) sensor. I wouldn't run right out and replace it now but if you can possibly get the engine computer scanned now, or right after it happens again, and if a stored code confirms it, get it changed.
If the MAF sensor was replaced with an aftermarket or non-factory part, I can almost promise you that is your problem again. The MAF sensors sold cheaply in auto parts stores and online are pure junk.

Are you speaking the brake lighting fixtures fixtures on the rear of the vehicle? if so, you have a bad brake mild swap. while you're speaking the brake mild on your sprint, you will be able to desire to be low on brake fluid, your emergency brake might desire to be on, or a challenge with your brake equipment..... in case you dont comprehend a thank you to envision any of this..... Take the vehicle in someplace!! You dont elect to take guesses with your brakes!

Sounds strange. Can only be accelerator cables and throttle or transmission slipped.
