I had the same thing happen to my 2002 Sportage, I had carbon buildup on the valves. Check compassion.
Have you checked the timing belt??have you tried running a wire from the battery direct to the fuel pump ??
hang on a minute their is a fuel cut off switch somewhere for emergency use in case of an accident ,it shuts the fuel off ,Now where it is on this vehicle i dont know buit try looking under the bonnet for a small electrical block/switch looking thingy with a red rubber cover about an inch square and push it down .If it clicks down then you will find it should be alright again
it will have a fuel cut off switch somewhere ,regulations , but i just do not know where ,and still waiting for my all data book to arrive
must be some way of running pump ?? by pass the relay??
all vehicles that require a certificate of homogolonation in europe have to have this safety cut out ,?? but its possible it doesnt have one in other countries .if its the earth not connecting then use a relay running off the ignition switch with the other connections makiing the earth so that it turns off when key is turned off.Personally i would take the sender unit out of the tank and have a look in case the gauze filter in the bottom is blocked or a plastic glove is swimming around in the tank ,wouldnt be the first i have found in the tank ,you know the ones they supply in the gas stations ?
There is a check valve/fuel cut off behind the right rear wheel on the sportage,this could be at fault
sorry for delay in answering but i have been busy and i dont always feel like sitting on computer ,
Now what i think is the problem is that a lot of vehicles use the earth to break the supply via the immobilisor ,i know ford use this system so rather than mess around i would grond the pump at the rear of the vehicle ,then where the supply turns the relay on i would disconnect this supply and run it off the ignition switch .

I checked the timimng belt and conductivity on the green/yellow wire running to the fuel pump. I figured out I'm getting a bad ground to the fuel pump relay (red wire). Once I run a direct ground from battery to relay(red wire), everything fires up. My only problem now is that the fuel pump will run forever and won't cut out. Is there a seperate pressure switch for that or is it in the pump itself?
checked timing belt and no problems.....This model of kia DOES NOT have a fuel shut off switch as far as i know and I have recently fired up the vehicle by squirting gas in via the air intake. fuel pump is running (because I jumped the relay ground from the battery) but vehicle will only run on the fuel injected in manually. I can use the gas pedal and get the rpm's up as it is running but dies as soon as the fuel runs out. I am lost....
I looked and did extensive research and found out that there is no switch. It uses a relay connected to a main relay which is in turn fed by the ecu. I am at a loss....
