Overdrive will not engage.

Does the car have a button on the shifter handle somewhere to disable overdrive? Also, there is a plug on the transmission that must be plugged in to engage overdrive so check to make sure it is plugged in correctly.

I have replaced the crankshaft sensor several times and it keeps breaking. I have the P0335 code now and the car is not starting. What keeps making it break?

If it is an aftermarket sensor try a factory sensor. Lots of problems with Chinese parts.

Car starts nbut won't run

Depends. What car is it, year model and everything? Car/truck/suv? The vehicle turning over because of you using the starter doesn't mean that it's running or even getting spark. The obvious question is does it have gas? If it does have fuel but it's not reaching the engine, it is more than likely the fuel pump. Fuel pumps can go out without any warning but I really need to know what type of vehicle before I can really give any help.

Kia engine code p0560

If you are getting this code, go have your charging system checked. it's likely that your alternator is bad, or the belt that drives it, or the battery itself is bad. If you have a battery that is NOT maintenance free make sure the water is filled. P0560 means that the ECU is sensing that the charging system is failing to charge the battery and therefore is providing low voltage throughout the entire vehicle.

Why does my 2002 Kia optima stay accelerated when I turn it on

Sounds like your throttle is sticking try cleaning your throttle body and plate. Could also be a sensor issue. Any codes. Possibly a vacuum leak

2004 optima wont stay running after fillup

semms to be like some of the vapor lines coming from thank to engine might be flooding your engine,
but also locate the fuel pressure regulator at the engine compartment and unplud the vacium hose, if you see any fuel coming out from fuel pressure regulator, or if the vacium hose smeel like fuel, then the regulator is not good.
