It could be a whole multitude of things that will do that. Will the engine turn over, but just not catch? If so, did you check for spark? If spark, then check the fuel pressure?

Yes, there is an emergency fuel cutoff switch on the vehicle. You did not say what year Santa Fe you have. The attached graphic is from the 2005 owners manual. It looks like the switch is tucked in between the brake master cylinder and the driver's side fender wall behind the air filter box.
