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.

Many failures

Kia Sephia 2000  190000 miles
Hello, my car's problems are the following:
1) the over drive light on the dashboard blinks, and when I accelerate the vehicle it feels slow and it is hard for it to develop high speeds. I do not know if this has to do with a worn gearbox or a damaged sensor.
2) the car is unstable, revolutions raise and drop. Even though this is a subtle failure and it is not audible, it can be perceived when I turn on the lights, as they blink continuously.

You should scan your vehicle, but the most probable thing is that the IAC is failing, a transmission sensor. What causes the blinking is the ATF temperature sensor.

Injection failure

Kia Sephia 2000
My vehicle has got automatic transmission and, when driving to a hilly place with the air conditioning on, it comes a moment when the car starts jerking until it chokes and stops working. I need to leave it off for around 20 minutes and it then keeps working as if nothing had happened. One of the worst things is that it does not consume coolant, the engine temperature does not raise and the check engine light does not turn on either. Might it be a sensor that is failing? This has occurred to me even when injectors were just cleaned, it had new spark plugs and had just been tuned up.
