I put all my trust in this 2003 KIA Sedona, bought "as is" from a used dealer. It is an auctioned car with a clean VIN 'Checked & 'Faxed.
My Sedona feels solid & runs strong, interior & exterior clean enough after its 209k miles.
More about the stall; no start:
In the driveway;
Vacuum 20.2 in/Hg @ idle steady
Battery 2 years old; running 14.20VDC by DVM
On the road;
After stall; cranks.pause 10 sec.cranks...etc... no start
sounds like no fuel or spark. never kicks, not flooded
10 mpg estimated; 100 miles shows 1/2 of 19.8 gal. tank;
gas gauge is slow to fill.
Disconnecting [most convenient] Negative of the Battery for over an hour allows starting, then runs fine until next time. Fifth time in 300 miles city driving.
Tried;
