Hi, i would have the starter motor checked out the click usually comes from the starter solenoid. It could also be a bad main wire connection at the starter from the battery.

Starter does not engage. Only clicks when I turn the key.

The first thing to do is to check the condition of the battery cables/terminals. Make sure they are clean, free from corrosion and are tight. Also check the black earth lead where it connects to the block/bodywork. A poor earth can cause the symptoms you describe.

If that doesn't work, disconnect the positive battery cable (but bear in mind that you may lose the radio code.. do you know your radio code?) and then disconnect, clean the cables on the starter motor.

If that does not do anything - suspect the starter motor solenoid. It can be removed and cleaned (remove the starter motor first). You can 'bridge' the terminals on the solenoid with a screwdriver to try and start the car... but be careful.

Ma car kia sportage engine not start

Car no start problem is sometimes very difficult to confirm. You try all the possible things, but still you get no fault and problem is still the same.--------
In that case, you need to check few things individually.
Check the spark,the battery,the crank, the fuel and other most possible parts. Click this link below for more details:-- http://howtobyme.blogspot.com/2011/10/car-troubleshooting-tips.html

I turned my car off and when i tryed start it only made one clicking sound each time i turned the key.The Headlights,radio,interer functions seem to work normally.

Battery either weak or not making a good ground connection. Check batt poles to see if they need cleaning, check water in batt.
Still won't start? Pull batt and take to Auto Zone and have it checked.

My Kia will not drive

Take this car to a shop that has a device to read the car's computer codes. This will probably explain the problem. If this does not, take it to a shop where they have a vacuum gauge and know how to use it.

Good luck
