Stalls when driving and Check engine

Kia Sportage 2008  100000 miles
My Jeep Kia sportage 2008 diesel stalls when driving and I do not know why. I've cleaned the tank, changed the battery from the fuel pump, checked the rail and I do not know what else to do. The Check Engine indicator remains turned on, what should I do?

You need to change the injectors. With only one of them failing, it is enough for that problem to be caused.

Stalls when driving

Kia Sportage 2008  150000 miles
I really do not know what to do because my vehicle suddenly stalls when driving. It is only after 10 minutes that I can start the engine again but then the Check engine remains turned on. The scanner has indicated the code 810 or something similar. Does anyone know what I can do?

Try changing the battery from the fuel pump. I had a Chevrolet Meriva that also stalled suddenly when driving and, by replacing this battery, the problem was solved.
Greg from United States 9 years ago
Hello, TAD. I changed the battery that goes inside the fuel tank, also cleaned this tank but it was not solved. They are now telling me that it is the pressure regulator from the fuel rail that is failing. I really do not know what to do. Thank you anyway for your help and comment.

Good night, I had that problem and the solution was to change the little engine that goes inside the fuel tank.

Stalls

Kia Sportage 2002  120000 miles
My car usually starts working properly but suddenly stalls. It loses power and the dashboard turns on and off. I've already changed the pump, the injectors, the battery but the problem is still there. Can anyone please help me?

Check the catalytic converter.

I’d check my alternator. Those sound like alternator issues. Your alternator should be giving out 13VDC - 15VDC. Start your car and unplug your positive post on your battery. If it continues to run it’s not your alternator. If your car slowly dies and loses power then you need a new alternator.

I have something the same my 2010 Sportage 4x4 started to jerk then lose power this seems to happen after it warms up then the other day it started to put grey soot out the exhaust but now I have a management light on which might tell me something

Accelerates and decelerates

Kia Sportage 1996  215000 miles
When the vehicle is stopped, it accelerates by itself till reaching 3000 rpm and then decelerates until it is about to stall. This happens time after time, what might it be?

Every car tends to accelerate by itself when starting it; that is for the engine to get warm and reach the normal temperature, and then it decelates by itself as well. It is possible that the coolant temperature sensor is damaged or with a wrong connection.

We had the same problem... The car was 4 yr old, the fuel pump was on the way out it had to get replaced under warranty... Run great now.

Rough idle,Other weird stuff

Kia Sportage 2012 2.4 engine 80000 miles
So my car has ran idly pretty rough. It would just be when I initially started it but that was it. Then it started doing it when i would stopped at stoplights and felt like it was about to die. Turning off car and back on completely cured that issue for the moment. It doesn’t do this all the time either. It’s random as hell and can usually always be fixed by turning off/on. Last week, I was driving and it started to act up again but this time when i hit the acceleration, it felt like it wasn’t going to it’s full potential and then it acted like I just tapped the brakes over and over but i obvi… Read complete

This just happened today on my 2013 Kia Sportage I had it on manual shift mode and when It happened to redline it the tach dropped to 0 and not moving and rough idle like it switched to limp mode. Turned car off and turned car on and back to normal. I will check with code reader if I find anything.

I have the same issue with a 2012 Kia Sportage lx. Did you ever find out what the issue was? Been told it could be the battery, fuel pump, sensor, spark plug, it’s the gas or alternator. Just wondering what you heard. Maybe I could start there.

Engine sudden stop while driving.

Kia Sportage 2012 Automatic 2.4 180000 miles
My car engine was faulty and i did changed it, three days while driving with the new engine the car suddenly stopped at the middle of the road. With the help of other drivers we pushed the car to the road road side. I did called my mechanic and he asked me to try starting the car, i did and the car started normally. I did drive to my office and parked it there with no problem. But am afraid to drive on the highway. Can someone help with a solution to this.
