hi check the main alternator charigng wire the comes out of your alternator see if it is sending a 14v no less reading on a multimeter if not replace the alternator if so go to your battery see if the multimeter readings are the same as the alternator if so do a battery discharge test if not trace the path of the main wire which comes from the alternator to the battery for breaks and all connections yates210456

at the right side of the vehicle under the battery there is the starter bolted by three screws you need to get under the vehicle to loose the screws use a 14mm socket and wrench to get the bolt loose it takes a bit of maneuvering to get it out of the tight space but it is possible and simply reverse to get the new one in remember to disconnect the battery and the lines to the starter before starting to work

The napa gold filter which is a wix filter is the best on the market,but even if oil would not go through the filter you would still have oil pressure.If the oil level is correct and the oil light is off when the engine is running,your oil change should not have affected the engine. There is a recall for certain 2,0 hyundai/Kia engines because of "knocking" due to metal shavings left in the crankshaft oiling holes during manufacturing,you may be able to get a free new engine from the dealer if your engine is on their list.

Dear Sweetallday5, Without seeing the car, and being able to hear and look at it underneath, anything we can do is guess. Now, here is a really good guess. Do not drive the can one more mile, not even to a repair shop. Have it towed. Otherwise, you stand the risk of having it quit on you in the middle of the street, or even wreck whilst you are driving it. As far as being worth it to fix, only an honest mechanic can tell you that. God bless your efforts.

the obvious is to have the fault codes read first auto-zone and other parts shops do the reading for free

the problem could be coming from the indicator relay as doesn't blow fuse instantly, try with the 4 way flasher on and see if relay get over heated , electronics work in weird and varied ways ,most fuses supply power to more than one function , check what the other function's run from the problem fuse , this will , hopefully explain why the engine cuts out,

Well the starter is 17 years old. Nippon Denso and Hitachi starters are prone to low voltage at the solenoid signal wire (black with white stripe).

Bad relay maybe , contacts stuck . Or the horn switch is stuck .
