03 Sedona Issue

[hardin22]

I am having an issue with my Sedona. It stalls. I can drive it for a shot distance- like to the supermarket. Then it wont run for more than a second when I start it. If It does run It get jumpy when I gas it and smells of gasoline when I stop. Any thoughts?

a possible cause of your problem could be a duff sensor the most likely being the engine temperature they can partially fail so the engine management thinks the engine is cold and so runs it rich all the time (like leaving the choke on) some fail telling the system its hot so a pig to start but once going runs fine you may have a fault code in your system but this is unlikely you will have to test the sensor but unfortunately i cannot tell you the test parameters try searching global service way online kia tech info
