My 1996 Hyundai Elantra sat for about a month or so because of two flat tires. When I finally did get tires on it, I drove it for a day no problem but then suddenly died while driving down a highway in somewhat cold weather (~0 degrees F) one night. For about a half hour after, i tried starting it with no success. It sounds like its turning over slowly, but not getting a spark. So, after towing it back to my garage, I un-thawed the gaslines and replaced the spark plugs in case I had bad spark plugs or there was just frozen water in the gas lines. Nothing. Charged the battery. Still nothing. I have no clue what this could be anymore. Distributor Cap? Solenoid? Any Suggestions would be great. Thanks, Cody.

You need to scan for trouble codes. 1996 was ODB II compliant, so if you can get it to Autozone, they will do a free code scan. If I have to venture a guess, probably your cam sensor is bad, but that's shooting in the dark without a code scan.
