You or your mechanic should check the crankshaft bolt that holds the timing belt sprocket to see if it has loosened. I bought a 99 Sportage with problems and this is what it turned out to be. The timing belt had been replaced and the bolt had loosened causing the sprocket to break the key and the keyway slot on the crank. Mine still ran but it had no power and I was getting a cam position sensor error. If this turns out to be your problem, I can tell you how to fix it. Just ask.
