CrankShaft sensor. Notorious for failing on this car, especially if it's original. I just went through this same crap a couple of months ago with my Accent. I'd almost be willing to bet that it's either crankshaft, or camshaft sensor.
You need to get someone who has an OBDII scanner and scan the car for error codes. You can rent one from Autozone for free (You pay a deposit, which you get back when you return it). This is how I found out what was wrong with mine. Many many people have had this problem. I have a thread that's almost on the bottom of page one now, which you could have looked at, but anyway, I'll post the thread link below. Welcome.
See my thread about this problem here:

Important!! If you use an aftermarket sensor, there is a possiblity that the length may be slightly different and if you use the stock crank sensor bolt, it will not fit snugly and the car will still experience hard starting problems. I had this happen to me after I used an autozone sensor, with the factory bolt. I had to take it back to the dealer and he found the problem and put in a longer bolt to hold it in tight so the sensor can make contact with the engine. No more problems since. And since the price between aftermarket and OEM dealer part is not that much different, you should try to go with OEM hyundai sensor if at all possible. Aftermarket parts are sometimes iffy. If I had to do it over, I'd have just ordered a new sensor from the dealer instead of trying to save $10.00
