1998 Hyundai Accent engine complaints

Intermittently while driving engine check light comes on . Vehicle reduces in speed with a very hard jolt. This all happens within 2-3 seconds. Right afterwards, the light goes off, and t vehicle goes back to normal again. Problem has been reported to the dealership. Please provide any further information.
Consumer's engine light comes on and stays on for days, takes vehicle to dealership, and they've reprogramed the dash electronic board. This is the third time and dealer will be taking out the fuel tank and system. Vehicle is at dealership at this time.
While driving about 30 MPH driver could step on the brakes to slow down, but vehicle would stall, and this happened all the time.
Car seems to "hic-cup" - the engine seems to "shut off" and "turn on" again for a second or two while driving. As this happens, the "check engine" light stays lit for about 3 seconds. I have not contacted my dealer yet (it happened over the weekend), but I have sent an email to hyundai motor about the problem. I have also read in several postings on the internet about other 1998 accent owners having the same problem.
