NO fuel No spark

[Lil Mule]

Hello
I had a perfectly working 01 Sportage..... I ran it to work one day...it started a stumble in power...then pick back up and die out..... I replaced the fuel filter, pulled the fuel pump... cleaned the fuel lines and it ran fine ...enough to get me home( approx 50 kms).... I went out to start it the next morning and all it will do is crank over... if I jumper the fuel pump rely I can hear the pump come on and it has no spark...it just cranks and cranks.... even with the jumper on the fuel pump......

My question is what controls the power to the fuel pump relays and the coils?

I have cleaned all the grounds
replaced relay with 2 known good ones
new Bosh Platinum plugs
Timing belt replaced 22000 kms ago

any help would be greatly appreciated.

The ECM controls the fuel pump relay and the ignition coils.

It is often the case when a timing belt goes that the ECM does not see pulses from the camshaft position sensor and then does not fire the ignition coils - I know you've changed the timing belt recently, but I would start by checking that it's still OK and the valve timing is correct.
A bad crank position sensor, or camshaft position sensor could also cause this problem.

Unlikely to be your current problem, but the Kia's don't like plugs other than the standard NGK and these gapped at 0.75mm (0.03").
