I have a 2000 Kia Sportage that the fuel pump will not run on. I have replaced the fuel pump and the fuel pump relay. 12 volts goes directly to one side of the relay coil if I jump the other side of the relay coil to ground the relay energizes and the fuel pump runs. So is the engine control module bad? What other things should I check? The ECM is expensive so I don't want to replace it if it is not bad.
Check the pcm ground pins to make sure they are grounded. 6, 28, 34, and 55.
Fuel pump relay has a control coil. The control coil gets power from the EGI main relay. The EGI main relay gets power from the main 15A fuse in the engine fuse box. The EGI main relay control coil gets ground from the ECU when the key is turned to RUN. Start by yanking the fuel pump relay and checking for battery voltage on pin 5 in the socket when the key is in RUN. If you get power, then check for ground on pin 1 in the socket. The ECU provides ground to pin 1. If ECU doesn't provide ground check out the anti-theft system before you start thinking ECU replacement
SOURCE: 2000 kia sportage pump is working relays have been
there is a splice for fuel injectors at the front of the fuel rail conduit and electric tape will need to be removed to see if it is ok then clean up all engine grounds and ecm grounds on passenger side kick panel if this doesnt help check coils and crank sensor
SOURCE: fuel problem
is there muck in tank
take filter of and tip contents into jar
and see if clean
SOURCE: Can not start 2000 Kia Sportage with 161 K Miles.
It sounds like the timing is not set correctly. When you installed the timing belt, there are two dots on the crank shaft and cam shaft sprockets - these two dots need to line up as close to eachother as possible. This is done by putting the belt on the two sprockets while both dots face eachother - lay them down on a table or flat (clean) surface with both dots facing eachother (crank shaft sprocket dot should be facing up, and cam shaft sprocket dot should be facing down) - carefully insert the sprockets onto the cam shaft and crankshaft simultaneously - this usually takes some finess and patients - once they are in place and you are confident they are lined up, you can put the coverback on. Also, make sure (first) that the number one cylinder is at TDC (top dead center, or in the "up" position. Pull the #1 plug out, manually crank the engine over or "kick" the engine over with the ignition (have someone do it for you). You can use a small screwdriver,inserting into the plug hole (not all the way) and when you see it pop up, poke it in again to feel the piston is at it's maximum height (if you hold the screwdriver on the cylinder and feel the screwdriver / piston go down, bring it back up again.
With it at top dead center, and the two dots facing eachother, put everything back together. Make sure all gaskets are not "bulging" out of the cover. (if applicable) .
If this is all done correctly, the car should start with no problem.
