My Hyundai Accent has close to 90,000 miles. About a month ago, it started stalling out when I brake. It usuaally starts happening after I have been driving for about 20 -25 minutes. It starts right back up when I put it in park. I have no other symptoms.

    If the check engine light is on you should have that diagnosed at a reputable shop in your area. if the check engine light is not on than the vehicle most likely needs a motorvac carbon clean service. this will eliminate corbon build up on the throttle body, clean the intake manifold, intake valves and the fuel injectors. You may want to have a 90,000 service done at the same time if you plan on keeping the vehicle. Hope this helps.

    From what i understand, which is nothing, it may be a valve issue
