Hello and welcome to JustAnswer, my name is \*\*\*\*\* \*\*\*\*\* I have over 22 years of experience in this field. I'm so sorry for your inconvenience and hopefully, I can help. On these vehicles, the accelerator is controlled by a wireless system, that most likely has failed and would need either replacing or reprogramming. This service should be covered under the factory warranty. You can try disconnecting the negative battery terminal for 30 minutes and reinstall the terminal and see if it accelerates. Even if it works I still recommend taking it to the dealer afterward.

Would that theoretically help the engine start again?

Hopefully, yes it should reboot the system unless is completely burnt. In that case, you would need to contact your nearest Hyundai dealer and have it towed.
