no codes from the computer suggests a computer problem. also - fuel pump could be suspect - however - if it only happens when wet outside - i would still check all electrical connections before going crazy... dealership might be best bet or electrical specialist

Hyundai Santa Fe Stalling by pharkay

Thanks, my next stop was going to be the dealership. I was hoping to avoid that because of the expense - usually twice as much as anywhere else.
 
So far, even with all the rain we've had lately, problem hasn't surfaced again but everytime it rains, the car is pulled into the driveway and allowed to run about 20 minutes. Maybe that's helping but it sure burns a lot of gas.
 
Guess I'll have to make an appointment with the dealer and will keep the site posted on outcome.

Intermittent problems are a b#*!h - you didn't specify how many miles is on the Fe, but it sounds like a short somewhere. It can only be certain things :
An electrical short/computer/sensor problem
Ignition /battery/problem
Fuel pump/line problem
 
Have you run completely out of gas before? That could cause a fuel blockage from sucked up gunk from the bottom of the tank, but it wouldn't answer why only in the rain.
 
Good Luck

Haven't gone to dealer as yet but all ignition wires were replaced (no signs of water damage), check engine light comes on but nothing is retained in on-board computer. Fuel injection system was thoroughly checked and no problems found. Here's another unexplainable part, even though we've have a rainy spring and month of June in NJ, problem hasn't surfaced in warmer weather. I think this car is haunted by a poltergeist.
