Thanks for the help fastkia. I figured it out. It quit running and on inspection saw belt was looking bad and since it was time went ahead and replaced it and the balance shaft belt. It has 61,000 miles on it. It isnt firing. Anyone know what the usual parts are to go. I am suspecting crank position sensor.
By the way the site you sent me to is a pay site now. Kia should give repair advice for free since there cars have no monetary value after you purchase them.

yea i know it used to be free up until couple months ago. and look into spark plug wires and if not the coils. common problem among sephia and sportages it seems.
