If you just replaceD the engine in your 2005 Kia Spectra, was the replacement engine a good one? It sounds to me like it's a starter or starter solenoid issue! Try "hot-wiring" the starter solenoid, to see if the engine cranks. All security systems are "low level" in terms of current control. But a DIRECT connection from a good battery to the starter solenoid should engage it, which should complete the circuit from the battery to the starter motor.

SOURCE: How do you replace a Drivers side headlight bulb 2006 kia spectra

Helps to remove the battery, but small ahbds can do it.

Directly behind the lens is a big round cap ... twist it off. The bulb is held in place with a spring that locks in to a notch in the holder. When handling the new bulb, don't touch the glass. The oil from your skin will cause it to shatter when turned on.

I have a Kia Spectra EX 2005, the problem is that car does not start. The engine turns over but it daes not start. I replaced the crank sensor and maked sure that the timing marks were fine. I checked...

First you should check the vehicle handbook and ensure the immobiliser is being disarmed. When you have satisfied yourself to this it would perhaps be wise to check the fuses before moving on to more in depth checks.

Replaced catalytic and o2 sensor check engine light won't reset 2005 kia spectra lx

It won't automatically reset. Most parts stores will check / reset the code for free, and if it doesn't reset, they can tell you what kind of code is causing the problem.
