Driving 70mph on highway, car abruptly lost power and would not turn over. Once home, was able to get car to turn over, but just wouldn't start. Feels like not getting fuel. How can I check if fuel filter or fuel pump is working correctly? Any other ideas on how to diagnose the problem?
Check for broken timing belt /chain

Next time this happens, pull over and unscrew the gas cap. The vent may be clogged.
Otherwise, your catalytic converter may be failing. It can also clog and hinder engine exhaust.
Good luck !

Got car back from dealer. They could not diagnose but Kia tech support told them to check the fuel vapor cannister for fuel and sure enough had some fuel inside (should only be vapor going) into this canister) which indicated a bad purge control valve and/or canister close valve. So they replaced everyhting associated witht his fuel vapor recovery system (i think that's the correct term) and running good....so far. Fortunately this was under warranty but sure it would be quite an expensivve repair.

\I WAS HAVING THE SAME PROBLEM, IF THE CHECK ENGINE LIGHT DOES NOT COME ON, IT COULD BE A CLOGGED CATALETIC CONVERTER, THE EASIEST WAY TO TEST THIS ,TO ME ANYWAY, IS TO DISCONNECT THE EXHAUST PIPES(COMING OFF THE ENGINE) AND THE CONNECTION TO THE FRONT OF THE CATALETIC CONVERTER, THEN START THE CAR AND SEE WHAT IT DOES, IF THE ENGINE SURGE GOES AWAY(REMEMBER THE CAR WILL BE LOUD) BUT YOU ARE LOOKING FOR THE ENGINE HEALTH TO GO TO NORMAL, IF IT DOES YOUR CAT IS CLOGGED
