Stalls when driving

Kia Sephia 1996  300000 miles
Some days ago, the cylinder head was serviced and the valves adjusted, because my car had an oil leakage that damaged the air sensor. At the same time, almost all the sensors were cleaned. However, it now happens that, when starting to drive, the vehicle suddenly stalls. The fuel pump has been checked and it seems to be alright. But the failure is still there and I do not know what else to check. Could you please give me your opinion?

Hey, your problem is in the immobilizer, which you need to either replace or give maintainance.

Hello everyone. The problem you have is that the steering wheel sensor is damaged. I tell you because this has already happened to me.

Chokes when warm

Kia Sephia 2000  263000 miles
Hi, buddies. I have a Kia Sephia II 2000 and its problem is that, when reaching half of the temperature, it starts choking. I then accelerate and it does not respond. I stop it, start it again and it works properly but only a block and the same occurs. I have already changed coils, fuel pump, wires, filters and nothing was solved. The scanner does not indicate any failure. I do not know what else to do.

I also have a Kia Sephia 2000 with the same choking problem. I've changed the catalytic converter but nothing changed. I am now thinking about replacing candles and wires; I'll then tell you what happened.

Fuel pump failure

Kia Sephia 2000
My car has a problem with the fuel pump. I do not know why but, every time I travel, the vehicle overheats. The failure starts with a power loss, the car then chokes and I have to stop, in order for it to cool down. After that, it works properly for weeks. It is a quite strange problem the one I have. When it fails, I have to change the fuel pump and it lasts for a while.

Check the fuel pump engine, which must be damaged. This happens because, as the car overheats, the pump pressure decreases, so it stops working until the car is cool again and it starts working properly once more. This same thing happened to me and you simply need to change this litle internal engine.
