Timing belt broke while driving
I'd recommend doing a web (or dealer) search for your specific engine to see if it's an "interference" engine. An interference engine is one where the intake or exhaust valves could come in contact with the pistons if the timing belt were to break. If your engine is NOT an interference engine, you can start to swap out the timing belt with no worries. If it IS an interference engine, and the timing belt broke while you were driving, there could be a great deal of internal damage. It's hard to estimate what the damage could be... it could range from zero damage (unlikely), to broken valves and pistons. You could do a compression test on each cylinder before replacing the belt.
Good luck.

Sugar in gas tank
if it still starts then your ok.remove gas tank and dump fuel.clean out any sugar on bottom of tank.go throuh the fuel pump hole. use a water hose if needed then let it dry.fill up tank and just run it it will be ok. what sugar does to an engine [and never mind myth busters, they are wrong] ive seen it 4 times, someone in town was having fun with sugar in the tank.anyways with enough sugar in gas tank the sugar disolves in the fuel.then engine,especially the valve stems get hot and sugar becomes a molten goo on the parts,valves,pistons,cylinders,fuel injectors.only the hot parts seem to be effected. then when you turn the engine off the sugar cools and becomes hard like a piece of hard candie.the valve stems are now locked into valve guides and cannot open or close,it takes alot more driving to damage pistons and rings only a little sugar is injected on every intake stroke and its aimed right at the valve stem.one mile of driving i dought will cause problems. beware that if the sugar was poured it dry you will need to flush out the filler neck.if it was dry then very little got in the tank anyway,unless you put gas in it after sugar was added

I have a 2002 kia rio cinco changed radiator and fan assembly. Thermostat is out but it still heats up on me! Whats the problem?
Sounds like the water pump if you have had all that done. Remover the filler cap on the engine that says "DO NOT OPEN WHEN HOT" please dont open it when hot. check that it is full and you don't have an airlock (it will fill your header bottle as well if you go right to the top. Start the engine and you should see the water circulating top up if it goes down. If when the engine is running, the water gets blown out with force then I would be looking at cylinder head or gasket problem. If after topping up in the engine water point, and you can see water circulating, top it right up and replace the cap. providing you have no leaks this should have cured the overheating. No circulation means, change the water pump. Hope that helps.

Code for kill switch
If your talking about security. There isn't a code. You need to have the codes read to find the problem.
