Hi my Name is Francisco I'm from Panama, good to join the kia community
I'm having an issue with my sportage.
the car start sputtering like it was running empty and finally shuts off
when i turn on the a/c (this happened randomly), i then wait on the side of the road a few minutes and then the car start working like nothing happened
..... i don't remember of any occasion were the car have failed with no a/c , the issue seems to happened whenever i turn on the a/c.
items replaced trying to fix the issue
new spark plugs (ngk)
tail light short circuit fixed
iac cleaned (this improved idle a lot but the issue still remains)
i had a cel light (maf related , maf replaced issue still remains)
known issues
the car is run usually below 1/4 tank
is not charging well between 12.6 and 13v
does this sound like
fuel pump issue
or
electric issue?
