2003 Kia Carnival V6 can't start

[Lock]

2003 Kia Carnival V6 had traveled 80,000 kilometers, and yesterday i was driving on the road, suddenly it turn off and couldn't start no longer. What's going on ?

You'll need to give us a lot more information e.g. is the starter motor cranking the engine. Or is nothing happening when you turn the key.

I would think your alternator is gone.

+1 Bruce2 answer about the alternator. It could be that; if alternator stops working your battery will run a slow (not so slow actually) death - when battery is drained the car would stop and you would not be able to start it again. But also agree with PeterBlue, give us more details of what is really going-on. Does the engine crank? Or do you just get dead silence when you turn the ignition key? If so, then battery is dead and most likely the alternator is the culprit. If the car is still cranking around, but not starting you will have different issues to investigate, such as the Fuel Pump, Fuel pressure regulator, fuel injectors, Camshaft Position Sensor to name a few. Also agree, check if you have any codes stored with an OBDII meter. Sometimes codes are stored even though the CEL light does not come-on. Also check easy things first, such as fuses for fuel pump, ignition, etc. Could be something very simple and best practise is to diagnose from easy fix to more difficult ones. Good luck.

Also check the cables between the alternator and the battery and make sure you don't have toasted cables or extremly corroded terminals at both alternator and battery. That could prevent the alternator from properly charge the battery.

Definitely need more info...did it overheat, run out of fuel, run out of battery power or just seize up? It's like going to the Doctors with a pain, but it suddenly goes when he appears.
