Lots of possibilities for a no start condition. Do you hear any type of noise (such as clicking, etc) when trying to start the car? If not, recheck all connections and fuses under the hood as well as inside the car. Is this an auto or manual transmission? If its manual check the switch on the clutch. It its auto it could be the neutral safety switch.

Was the battery unhooked recently, Alternator or battery could be faulty, you can check them with a digital meter. The Immobilizer light may go away after you adress the battry/charging fault. link to your manual below. http://www.kia.ca/content/ownership/ownersmanual/2004_amanti_Owners_Manual_EN.pdf

What do the fuses do? If the car has an electric throttle connection then there's your problem. Get an auto electrician or good home mechanic to help trace the fault. Look on the fuse box or drivers handbook to see what those fuses do and go from there. Don't keep putting fuses or larger fuses in the box because you could start a fire.

Computer reset for starters
Second alternator is failing get tested
Third fuel filter and pump
These are the norms for routine maintenance with battery change
Since battery died we know it wasnt getting voltage on the road
Or it was getting it intermitently
The alternator can pass tests intermitently
When checked
The best old fasioned way of testing alternator run vehicle disconnect from battery positve side
Let run if power drop or car stops alternator needs replaced
Battery is only good for starting a vehicle
All other power like accessories comes from a transformer in vehicle that stores voltage
Youll see in car a second bar with ground and power going to it this is your transformer do not jump accross transformer
Other then mentioned above routine maintenance is needed

If it bothers you you can bring it to mechanics and they will plug in computer and turn it off.

check your aps sensor,accelarator position sensor if its bad and make sure all connector and wire from this sensor to ecu is good,.

Try anothr key or hav ign lock inspectd

That is normal.
