It might be a good idea to have your car receive an undercoating. That is something I would want to do to protect the underbody from rusting. Maybe sometime soon that is something you would want to look into. https://www.valugard.net/index.php/undercoat-information-product-data-sheets-msds/

If the proper rust protection wasn't engineered into the body sheet metal then you really can't do much to prevent rust, even if you spray undercoating on rust will still eat a the hidden surfaces you can't spray the undercoating on.

My 1995 Kia Sephia accelerates and shuts down

check to make sure that your mass air flow sensor is working properly and your clean air supply to the throdle body is all connected and functioning. allong with the sensors connected to that. it sounds like your cars mas air flow sensor is giving an incorrect high reading to your ecu...so your car thinks it is taking in more air than it is... the fuel injectors are trying to compensate for the high air flow but because that air flow does not exist the car stalls.

The frame in the front of my 2001 kia sephia is bent is it fixable without replacing the whole frame?

The only person that can answer that is a body shop after they inspect it. But a 2001 Sephia isnt worth a whole lot and they could maybe find a replacement in a salvage yard cheaper than repairs. It just depends.

Kia sephia 2000 (manual) Oxygen sensor P0133

The Oxygen probe is located in the exhaust manifold or front exhaust pipe it takes a 22mm wrench to loosen it and at first you need to dismantle the battery to avoid electric hazard, then the cable to the probe so it does not have any connection with the vehicle, clips and holders, after that turn the probe anticlockwise to dismantle it, and reversed operations when fitting the new one, and that should fix you problem.
The only thing that can be a problem is if the probe is rusted together to the manifold, that requires professional help.
