Try the 'ETM' section on the KiaTech web site for the wiring diagrams - see the link in my sig.

It could be a problem with the the main EGI relay or the Fuel Pump relay.

As a test you could use a jumper in the Diagnostic Plug in the engine bay to force the power to the fuel pump - this jumper bypass the EGI and FP relay to power up the FP.

Unfortunately the KiaTech web site doesn't have the Shuma listed, but bellow is a link to the picture of the Spectra's fuse/relay box in the engine compartment.

The Main or EGI relay and the Fuel Pump relay are usually in the fuse/relay box in the engine compartment and the lid of the box has the layout/legend.

thanks m8 could the relay
be faulty if I'm getting fuel
up to the engine also would that be why the gauge is reading empty

If you're getting fuel to the engine then the relay and pump are OK.

I dont believe that the FP and EGI/MAIN relay are related to you fuel gauge problem - for this you should try the ETM section on KiaTech's web site for a wiring schematic and trace it from the the tank sender unit to the dash.

Wont start - have you checked that you're getting spark, fuel though the injectors, and the valve timing is 100% ?
